"Cocaine, Cartels, and Crack Downs" Documentary

Since the start of this blog, I have been trying to find information on government corruption that has been caused or influenced by drug cartels. A challenge that I encountered while searching for this information is that those who are involved in corruption and illegal activities within the government have gone to great lengths to cover up any evidence of their crimes. Unfortunately, in order to avoid public criticism, corrupt officials who have been found guilty of illegal activities may be pardoned or reprimanded behind closed doors.

During my research, I came across a documentary from A&E television network titled “Cocaine, Cartels, and Crack Downs”. This documentary is almost an hour and a half long and covers topics such as the origins of the Medellin cartel, drug trade in America, government reaction to cartels, and the rise of popular drugs like crack cocaine. While all of the topics included in this documentary deserve proper attention and analysis, I have decided to write this particular post specifically on sections 12 and 13 of the documentary, titled “CIA Activities Exposed” and “CIA and the Cartels”.

In section 12 of the documentary, there is discussion about the dealing between the Nicaraguan Contra Army and the United States Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). In 1986, a CIA operative named Eugene Hasenfus was shot down over Nicaragua in a military cargo plane. The Sandinista soldiers that captured him discovered that the plane was loaded with guns that were intended to be delivered to the Contra Army in Nicaragua. It was also discovered that the plane that was shot down was the very same plane that had belonged to CIA operative Barry Seal, who was gunned down in the streets while in United States protective custody. Seal was a top witness against Colombian drug boss Jorge Ochoa.

The capture of Eugene Hasenfus and the discovery of Barry Seal’s plane is the first instance that established a connection between the CIA and the Contras.

Congress interviewed Marine Corps lieutenant colonel Oliver North about his involvement with Contra rebel groups, uncovering what is now known as the Iran-Contra affair. It became known that the United States government was involved in the sale of missiles to Iran. The money generated from these illegal arms sales was then used by the CIA to secretly back Contra rebel groups in Nicaragua. Oliver North was secretly given permission to run this secret war by high ranking officials within the US government.

Following the discovery of this secret government operation, President Bush pardoned top officials who had been accused of illegal arms smuggling. North was also pardoned for lying to Congress about his knowledge of the CIA’s involvement in Nicaragua and did not spend a single day in jail. In this investigation, it was established that the US backed Contra Army had been involved in smuggling drugs into the United States.

Section 13 of the documentary establishes even more connections between the CIA and drug smuggling into the United States. In 1987, drug smuggler Carlos Lehder was arrested by Colombian federal police and extradited to the United States. He was convicted and sentenced to life in prison with an additional 135 years, but his sentence was reduced to 55 years in prison after he agreed to testify against Manuel Noriega, a Panamanian military official.

Lehder’s testified that the Medellin Cartel had given $10 billion to the U.S. backed Contra army. This testimony established a shared interest between the CIA and the Medellin cartel. Both organizations, while at war with each other, were simultaneously pulling the same strings on the same war, supporting the same side.

Senator John Kerry conducted his own investigation into the government’s involvement with drug smugglers, and discovered that CIA pilots, after dropping off plane shipments of guns to the Contra rebel forces, had their planes filled with duffel bags and suitcases of cocaine to be shipped back into the United States.

The CIA’s inspector general launched an internal investigation into the accusations that CIA operatives had been involved in sanctioned drug smuggling. The investigation concluded that Contras were involved in drug smuggling into the U.S. and that the CIA was in fact smuggling guns and ammunition into Nicaragua for contra use, but it was concluded that the CIA did not officially allow the drug smuggling to occur. No CIA official was ever indicted for the Contra cocaine allegations.

Reagan’s administration gained support for an American war on drugs by blaming drug trafficking on a “foreign boogeyman”, a far away and unnamed threat that ultimately turned out to be closely linked to the CIA itself. To end the documentary, former undercover DEA agent Celerino Castillo states: “There’s never been, and there will never be, a war on drugs because America is more addicted to drug money than they are to drugs”.

I really need more people to realize that the field of psychology still supports eugenics.

They say that autistic people can't be independent and have a poor quality of life due to their autism

They aid in the taking of autonomy and rights from mentally ill and neurodovergent adults in cases of abuse from parents and make no effort to protect people with intellectual disabilities

They still use the r slur in articles and do not give a shit about our identities or communities

DID was coined by people making the dsm4 who think that mpd was made up and it was an attempt to silence people. Before that people diagnosed with mpd were not! Allowed! To! Talk! To! Each! Other! in case it made them want to get into self advocacy.

Many psychologists are taught in school that certain conditions such as DID do not actually exist. In addition I've met multiple psych students from different countries who all told me they book learn and see no value in learning from people who actually have the conditions they're researching. Most psyche students I know support violence towards people with psychosis or personality disorders such as BPD or NPD.

You can be taken off of organ transplant waiting lists for having professionally dxed DID or BPD

People with nd disorders or mental illness are often not Allowed to adopt children and may have their children taken away from them (affects BIPOC the most afaik like the majority of these issues do)

If admitted to a psychiatric ward during times of emergency in which they deemed someone a danger to themselves or others (and again for BIPOC this perception is likely happening without presence of actual emergency) you can lose your rights to refuse any kind of treatment and be put on a probation in which after you leave you have to take medications (even if they do not help you) or meet certain requirements or you will be sent back.

There are hundreds and hundreds of issues like this and they target the most vulnerable of us. In my case I'm lucky, I'm lucky bc I never got diagnosed with anything I have, because I managed to mask well enough to barely slip by and this is in large because I'm verbal and because I'm white.

But I hear so often about the abuse that less fortunate people in different places and situations go through from the psychiatric field and it's honestly horrifying.

I'm specifically addressing this to A) anyone who thinks they should have a professional diagnosis just to be sure they have something (you can talk to a therapist about it of course but request to not write that dx on paper/file it/make it official unless you absolutely need it and ask your therapist about the drawbacks of this diagnosis if they're a good therapist they will tell you about this stuff) B) people who think that just because their therapist happens to be good and helpful that the field of psychology isn't a mess and doesn't need to be abolished and completely reformed.

Once again, the field of psychology and the mental health side of the medical field absolutely is just another part of the governemnt that is corrupt and hurting people. In America (which is where I live and know the most about) the system works with and is just as harmful as the police so include this in your activism.

We need to stop ignoring the vulnerable people in our mentally ill and neurodovergent communities and start to help advocacy groups and mad pride groups the same as we do for others.

Bonnie and Clyde (1967); AFI #42

The next film that we covered for the group was the period true- crime drama, Bonnie and Clyde (1967). It is the story of the notorious Barrow gang, led by Clyde Barrow and Bonnie Parker, during the American Great Depression. This film features a cavalcade of some of Hollywood's biggest actors including Warren Beatty, Faye Dunaway, and Gene Hackman. It is supposedly quite accurate because some of the witnesses and even a couple of the gang members of the actual crimes were still alive during the production of the film. Actress Estelle Parsons won Best Supporting Actress for he portrayal of Blanche Barrow, which I would like to comment on. I also want to speak a little to the accuracy of the story, but first I want to spoil the plot of the film.

SPOILER WARNING!!!! I AM GOING TO REVEAL THE WHOLE MOVIE SO I CAN COMPARE TO WHAT I LEARNED ABOUT THE ACTUAL HISTORY!!! THE MOVIE AND THE REAL LIFE STORY WILL BE SPOILED COMPLETELY!!! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!

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

In the middle of the Great Depression, Clyde Barrow (Warren Beatty) and Bonnie Parker (Faye Dunaway) of Texas meet when Clyde tries to steal the car belonging to Bonnie's mother. Clyde had spotted Bonnie hanging out in her room naked from the heat, and she spotted him watching her and was intrigued by the danger. Bonnie is bored by her job as a waitress, which Clyde correctly guesses, and decides to take up with him and become his partner in crime. They pull off some weak crimes including a bank heist at a location that has been hit by the depression and there is no money. Clyde actually makes the teller come out to the escape car and tell Bonnie what the deal is and she just laughs at the situation.

The pair find an extra man in a worldly ignorant but mechanically inclined gas station attendant named C.W. Moss (Michael Pollard). Clyde apparently has a way with words because people just join him for no real reason besides being bored. Clyde's older brother Buck (Gene Hackman) and his wife, Blanche (Estelle Parsons), a preacher's daughter, also join them. The two women dislike each other at first sight because Bonnie thinks that Blanche will ruin their fun (she does) and Blanche believes that Bonnie is evil and wants to get rid of her (she does). Keep in mind while watching this that Estelle Parsons won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for this portrayal.

Bonnie and Clyde turn from pulling small-time heists to robbing banks since they now have a full gang. Their exploits also become more violent when C.W. comically botches a bank robbery when he sees an open parking spot and decides to parallel park. He can't get out of the space quickly and he delays their escape, forcing Clyde to shoot the bank manager in the face when he jumps onto the slow-moving car's running board. The gang is pursued by law enforcement, including Texas Ranger Frank Hamer (Denver Pyle), whom they capture and humiliate by taking his photo and setting afloat on a little dingy on a nearby river.

The group likes to switch out cars because they treat the getaway vehicles very rough. When they are seen stealing a car by its owner, a young man named Eugene Grizzard (Gene Wilder) and his girlfriend Velma Davis (Evans Evans), the robbed couple attempt to follow the stolen car. The gang stops and takes the couple hostage in the chase car and even pull over to get some burgers. They let the couple go when they find out they are in their 30s (too old apparently) and find a roadside stop. A raid later that night catches the outlaws off guard, mortally wounding Buck with a shot to his head and injuring Blanche so she can't see. Bonnie, Clyde, and C.W. barely escape alive. With Blanche sightless and in police custody, Hamer tricks her into revealing C.W.'s name, which they use to find any safe places where the remaining gang might go (until then, C.W. was only an "unidentified suspect").

Hamer locates Bonnie, Clyde, and C.W. hiding at the house of C.W.'s father Ivan (Dub Taylor), who thinks the couple have corrupted his son (as evidenced by an ornate tattoo that Bonnie convinced C.W. to get). The elder Moss strikes a bargain with Hamer: in exchange for leniency for the boy, he helps set a trap for the outlaws. When Bonnie and Clyde stop on the side of the road to help Mr. Moss fix a flat tire, the police in the bushes open fire and riddle them with bullets. Hamer and his posse come out of hiding and look pensively at the couple's bodies as a nearby flock of swallows fly away.

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

This film stood out as it was a comical version of the super violent gangster films that were popular in the 30s. Storywriters David Newman and Robert Benton wanted to punch up the violence with a romantic undertone so they sent the script to French New Wave director Francois Truffaut for contributions. Warren Beatty was visiting Paris and heard about the project then decided he wanted to produce the picture. He was going to have his sister, Shirley MacLaine, play the roll of Bonnie until he decided that he was going to play the part of Clyde. That would have been really awkward, so he tried find a lead actress that he could have a romantic scene with. Many actresses were approached and Faye Dunaway was eventually chosen for the part.

Beatty decided that they needed an American director and offered that job to a plethora of established directors in Hollywood and finally landed on Arthur Penn even after he turned down the position multiple times. What it all comes down to is that not a lot of people wanted to be part of this production. It was considered somewhat of a risky art film at the time because of the questionable sexuality of Clyde and the heavy violence.

So what was so risky? Looking at films that were made only a few later, this seems rather tame. This film came out just a little before the MPAA was established and the writers had been influenced by the French films that didn't have the same restrictive film rules that were present in the United States. It was originally proposed that Clyde be played as bisexual, but the script eventually called for him to be more asexual. The real Clyde Barrow had been sexually assaulted in prison so he would have been scarred by that experience and might not have been interested in Bonnie in that way. This depth into a character's sexuality had generally been avoided in American cinema before this film and there was concern about audience reactions. They shouldn't have worried because the movie was a sleeper hit, eventually making $75 million on a $2.5 million budget.

The number of graphic murders actually shown on screen (especially when Clyde shot a guy in the face who jumped on the car during a get away) was unprecedented at the time. There was also some dismay by critics about the portrayal of Bonnie as sleazy and the whole gang as somewhat stupid. These were a bunch of uneducated folks that grew up in a time when it was more important to find a job. They were smart enough to avoid capture for years, which is shown in the movie, so they had to have some sort of intelligence.

There is a little bit of an elephant in the room with this movie and it involves the historical accuracy. The dates and crimes are well documented and a lot was known about the characters when the movie was produced. However, a major part of the movie was speculation and fabrication about the personalities in the gang. The characters that were based on living people at the time were actually the least accurate as C.W. Moss was a fictional person based on two different gang members (one who was still alive) and the actions of Blanche Barrow were based on a different member of the gang. The real Blanche Barrow lived until the 1980s and famously complained that Parsons's portrayal "made [her] look like a screaming horse's ass!" Parsons is the one the went on to win Best Supporting Actress.

This film was much more enjoyable for me on second watch. The first viewing left me hating the character of Blanche and I wondered if there was some sort of conspiracy to get that actress an Oscar. On second view, I realize that she was necessary to be a foil to the gang. There had to be a weak link in the chain and the audience knew that she would be the downfall of the group. Her presence made the police encounters all the more intense because there was this crazy wild card that could ruin everything at any time. It really adds a touch of comedy along with a bigger element of suspense. She is annoying, but enjoyable, and the people around her react to her behavior in a realistic way, so I appreciate what the character brings to the table.

I would highly suggest looking into the real life of Bonnie and Clyde along with the whole Barrow Gang because they took major advantage of the Great Depression banks, but not so much the suffering people. To some, the members of the Barrow gang were considered celebrities or even heroes because they were getting back at the banks that had mishandled so many people's money. I started my search off with this nice article on the Encyclopedia Britannica site and dug deeper to find out more about the connections between the real people and the film:

https://www.britannica.com/biography/Bonnie-and-Clyde-American-criminals

So does this film belong on the AFI top 100? I absolutely think so. It has some connections to French New Wave, but it is American directed with American actors and it tells the story of some of the most notorious criminals in American history. It is also a very good film that won Oscars and was a box office success. Bonnie and Clyde are part of Americana and were almost the equivalent of a Robin Hood character to many at the time. Would I recommend this film? I would. Keep an eye out for the Blanche character because she can be annoying, but know she serves a purpose and the movie is not all about her. The connection between Bonnie and Clyde is epic and has influenced a lot of American films, so enjoy it for the cinematic quality, the history in film, and the history of the United States.

hey! I've seen a bunch of posts on how HPSC is slightly corrupted and all, could you explain if you understand this? They're (die hard villain fans) usually using this as a justification to slam the heroes for raiding the army. I'm quite confused sorry

I’d be more than happy to, friend! I have a strong feeling it’s going to be a key detail in the story moving forward so it’s good to go back in reviewing everything we know now; plus, it gives me the perfect chance to offer up my theory that ropes in Aizawa, Midnight, and Present Mic. Buckle up, though, because this gets a little long.

The HPSC tells heroes what to do.

The Hero Public Safety Commission is a pocket of the Japanese national government in this universe, sort of like how the FDA is in America.

It’s important to note that HPSC is a separate entity from the heroes. They’re the ones giving out licenses, disciplining rouge heroes, overseeing hero training, acting as liaison between heroes and law enforcement, organizing cooperative efforts with multiple heroes across different regions, and managing the general image of heroes with events like the Hero Rankings Billboard.

Heroes have to obey directives given by the HPSC and hero schools have to align with guidelines set by the HPSC, but heroes don’t usually get a say in these decisions and often only get to complain about how things are done and are stuck doing it anyway. If someone is caught heroing without a license or not in hero uniform, you can be fined and/or jailed. If a hero doesn’t keep up with paperwork or runs off and does their own thing they can also be fined and have their license suspended. If a hero goes AWOL or completely flips out they can have their license permanently taken away and be jailed.

It’s actually even more important to note that way heroes are allowed to operate and answer to the government is actually closer in line to a militia than a police force. In fact, while heroes are allowed to make arrests and use their quirks, they are more restricted in what they can and can’t do on their own than the police. If a hero wants to work with other heroes on an investigation, they have to use the private network (administrated by the HPSC) or communicate in person. In the case with the Shie Hassaikai or looking for Kurogiri and the LoV where police cooperation was necessary to carry out the investigation and bring in the gang right away there was no choice but to be transparent with the HPSC.

However, the HPSC doesn’t have to be transparent with the heroes.

They require heroes to give up all their information to keep working as heroes, but they don’t have any accountability for themselves and have notably dodged scrutiny up to this point with public backlash almost always falling on the heroes who have little to no say in how they run things.

Starting back at the beginning of the series with the USJ incident, it understandably garnered massive media attention - it should have. Dozens of unknown, random two-bit villains poured into the most secure, prestigious hero school in all of Japan undetected and resulted in the serious injury of two teachers and could have included the students as well if All Might had not been there to fight and subdue the inhuman monster - the Nomu - who had up to that point had never been seen before.

It’s not unreasonable that UA initially got the blowback from this as it could have been chalked up to complacency causing a lapse in security that the HPSC absolutely wouldn’t have been accountable for. It’s treated like a one-off event and despite investigations going nowhere on it, it’s ultimately downplayed and checked out in the background while continuing with the Sports Festival in high spirits. However, things get worse.

After passing their semester exams the Hero Course first-years head off to do practical training in the mountains with a hero team named the Wild Wild Pussycats. Remember, because this is a hero training initiative between a school and a hero team, the HPSC is likely involved at least on some administrative level in regards to granting permission and securing the patch of mountainside to use even if this detail is not acknowledged in the series. Despite efforts to only include the staff, teachers, and heroes involved word somehow still gets out - resulting in more student, hero, and teacher injuries, and most importantly the kidnapping of one of the students.

This can no longer be swept under the rug. A lot happens in the secret hideout raid revealing lots of stuff with the plot, including All-for-One’s direct involvement, but it doesn’t add anything more to our notes besides the fact UA is once again blamed and heroes are thrown under the bus instead of the organization overseeing them.

Fast forward to the Provisional License Arc. This is the first time we see the HPSC acting explicitly. It’s noted that they passed significantly more students this year than previously. Yokumiru Mera, the tired proctor, is overworked. The HPSC has a reason to urgently pump more students into the “working force” now than it had before, though at the moment it’s written off as a result of All Might’s retirement.

During the Shie Hassaikai arc the only suspect detail we get is the fact that the raid on compound is inexplicably compromised, and somehow the yakuza knew the heroes and police were coming. We’ll come back to this and to the leaks in UA again later.

Skipping the remedial courses and school festival arc, we get to the Pro Hero Arc. Big lights, pomp and circumstance, and a massive powerful Nomu attack that nearly kills the freshly crowned #1 Hero. From this point forward, what we get of the HSPC is mainly through Hawks and his experience with him. After the fight, we get a flashback of the President of the HSPC herself telling him to ignore civilian casualties in his mission to infiltrate the LoV, that he has to do it solo, and that he can’t tell anyone. Briefly in the next chapter he says that despite his objections he can’t actually tell them no.

Hold up!

Did a government agency just tell a hero to secretly get in with the villains no matter what, and when he objects and asks whether he’s just supposed to ignore collateral damage in the process is told, “You can and you will”?! (That’s a verbatim quote from chapter 192.) I thought this agency was supposed to hep people and keep them safe!

We get smatterings of interactions between Hawks and the HPSC, and though we don’t get anything from there side we’re getting that every questionable or deplorable thing Hawks does or needs to get on the LoV’s good side is acknowledged and endorsed by the HPSC. “I’m in contact with the shady guy who loosed that monster in the middle of the city with no warning. He wants me to kill the other top hero who just recovered and to join the definitely-dangerous doomsday cult, and maybe THEN he’ll let me in on what’s going on.” Ok, sure. Nothing morally questionable about any of that...

Jump to chapter 267. Up to this point, this note about Hawks’ past has been hinted at, but is here finally confirmed with a chilling detail. Kids who enter hero work may get special coaching by their families when they’re young, but the threshold for entering formal government-regulated training isn’t until 14/15 years of age in the last few years of their education. Chapter 267 shows a little Keigo Takami no older than about 8, at best, being told by the HPSC that he doesn’t get to call himself by his own name anymore. From now on, he’s going to be a hero, and only a hero, and it’s going to long and hard. Back in 192, two mysterious figures promise the same boy, shown at the same age, that his family will be taken care of.

Whatever circumstances led Keigo’s family to end up in the situation they did, they accepted an offer from a government agency, the HPSC specifically - you can see their headquarters in the flashback - to take away their very young son, take away his identity (and implicitly his family), and groom him to be government tool for the rest of his life - a commitment he had no true say in and that he could not understand at the time.

And it gets worse.

Endeavor works with the HPSC regularly as all heroes have to, but his relationship with them and what they’ll let him get away with gets put into greater question the longer we look at it. He turned to eugenics to create a hero he couldn’t be and surpass All Might for the sole purpose of satisfying his own ego. He bought a girl from her family and forced her to have his kids, then subjected those kids to cruel training - passing over each one until he got to one he felt he could work with -, beat his wife as well, and some kind of action he was involved in lead to the death of his oldest son. While the domestic abuse could be hidden, the death of his child cannot. What’s more, shortly after (very shortly if timelines add up), his youngest son received a permanent burn scar on the heat-resistant side of his face and his wife was locked away in a mental institution for a decade.

And the HPSC never bats an eye. They could take away his license. They could call the police. They could have exposed him to the public or at least ordered an investigation. But they didn’t. On some level they knew, and they did nothing.

But it might be even worse.

I skipped over this detail chronologically, but it’s the linchpin for just how corrupt the HPSC might be if all this lines up. Looking at the Endeavor Agency Arc, we get a seemingly random confrontation with a guy called Starservant (chapter 243) who prattles off a prophecy about the Dark Lord returning and his Dark Stars conspiring against humanity which will bring the world to ruin. He calls out Endeavor specifically as the shining light that beckons the darkness, but this sounds an awful lot like the deranged wailing of some crazy old man, right?

Let’s jump over an entire series now to the spin-off serial Vigilantes. This series takes place in the same universe at an earlier point in the timeline of the main story - and take an extra little note that there’s an underlying subplot about unusual drugs meant to enhance quirks (that often result in mutating the user) and that someone may be using them to clandestinely run experiments on humans from the shadows. 

In chapter 59 we get flashbacked to Eraserhead, Midnight, and Present Mic’s childhood experiences at UA, and we’re also introduced to Oboro Shirakumo - their fellow classmate and dear friend. We get a few chapters establishing their relationships and their goals and dream for the future until chapter 63 where things make a drastic turn in tone. On what should be a routine hero training exercise as third-year seniors a giant, monstrous villain shows up and attacks while the UA kids are escorting a class of preschoolers around town.

In the scuffle, though Aizawa is able to single-handedly come out victorious, in the fight and debris Shirakumo is struck in the head by falling concrete as he tries to lead the children to safety and dies on the scene. Go back to main series, chapter 254-255, the villain Kurogiri is detained but the police are having no luck questioning him. They get a sliver of a lead and call in Present Mic and Eraserhead to interrogate him, and it’s confirmed that Kurogiri was a human experiment of Doctor Ujiko - the mad scientist bio-engineer responsible for the Nomu and outspokenly faithful servant of All-for-One - created from the corpse of their dearly departed Oboro.

Here’s the kicker, though, in Japan they don’t often bury their dead. Funerals next to never include an open casket - the loved one is cremated first, their ashes placed on an funeral shrine with their picture, and the loved ones mourn there. That means Ujiko needed to get to the body before it was cremated - which requires some fast work; but that’s not even the worst of it. Jumping one last time to chapter 270, Ujiko recognizes Mic as a friend of Shirakumo and boldly admits the entire time he was after Aizawa for his quirk.

That attack more than 10 years ago was premeditated. This goes back a long ways. How did he find this information - about their quirks and their movements and where to find them? How did Ujiko get the body out of the morgue without anyone catching him? Could it be the same way his fellow servants of All-for-One were able to get into the USJ? And the Training Camp? And the Yakuza raid? All-for-One has a lot of connections for his faithful servants to move about freely in this world of heroes despite every effort being take to stop them. 

Somehow, these shining lights can never seem to outrun the dark no matter how hard they try, as if there’s a conspiracy against them. But a conspiracy of that level would have to come all the way from the top! If you wanted to get poetic about it, you could even say the stars themselves are conspiring against us. But that old man was crazy, right? If he wasn’t crazy - if he was right at all - then no matter what way you slice it:

This is bad.

Would you be so kind as to elaborate on Wasteland 3 being fascist propaganda ;O; I had no idea

Okay okay so I saw this in the middle of my shift at work and I have been FROTHING at the mouth to answer this so all my love and affection to you for enabling me

So I think the most important thing to clarify is that when I say ‘fascist propaganda’ I don’t mean ‘intentionally designed to turn you into a Nazi’, I mean ‘this piece of media makes a series of hard-right authoritarian assumptions and reinforces them within the narrative in order to make them true, as well as excusing, justifying, or advocating for genocide, eugenics, slavery, etc’

Basically the short answer is, wasteland 3 makes a series of hard-right authoritarian assumptions and reinforces them within the narrative in order to make them true, as well as excusing, justifying, or advocating for genocide, eugenics, slavery, etc.

Now I could spend literal actual days talking about all the fucked up shit in this game but just talking about the plot is a lot faster (and relevant to the question) [as long as I don’t get distracted by how badly the game is written and how half the plot is contradictory or flat out bullshit] so spoilers ahead, rest under the cut.

The plot of wasteland 3 is that the desert rangers, a paramilitary group from Arizona, is desperate for supplies and support, so they reach out to someone named The Patriarch, who claims to rule Colorado. They agree to send soldiers to consolidate his rule in exchange for those supplies. Upon reaching Colorado, the ranger convoy is ambushed and killed almost to a man, with just two soldiers surviving to reach the Patriarch’s stronghold. The Patriarch agrees to uphold the deal as long as the rangers still help him out.

Let’s not dwell too long on that.

First the rangers are sent to clear out remnants of the bandits that attacked them who are hiding in the town. Then, they’re sent to find out who let them in. They do, and it turns out an employee of the local casino owner let them in.

Awright, let’s crack our knuckles and dig in.

The Marshals, the police force of Colorado Springs, are openly stated to be corrupt, vicious, and brutal enforcers of the patriarch’s rule. It almost feels like a running joke, with multiple side conversations playing out as you walk around the town like ‘oh man I love beating the shit out of people who look at me funny, I should join the marshals’ or ‘the marshals killed my brother and I’m mad about it’ ‘dude shut up they’ll hear and kill you too’. When you bring evidence of who let the bandits into town, the leader of the marshals explicitly says that they want an excuse to arrest the casino owner whether he actually knew about it or not. Oh yeah, also the primary punishment for basically all crimes in Colorado Springs, and I am being 100% serious about this, is to be CRUCIFIED NAKED in FREEZING TEMPERATURES. This comes up multiple times.

When you go talk to the casino owner, if you decide not to arrest him, a group of marshals show up to kill him anyway, and if you refuse to side with them, they decide to kill you too, because fuck you? I guess?

Now let’s talk about Colorado Springs itself, and the surrounding area. Basically, the Patriarch doesn’t actually control Colorado, he just has a single town, and that town is literally overrun with refugees who are flooding in from the other parts of Colorado where raider gangs are running wild killing and looting at will.

Except.

There’s two parts of town - the main part, with people literally sleeping in the streets or in tents because there isn’t enough space, and then the rich people part of town, where the Patriarch’s palace is, that literally has an armed checkpoint of marshals to keep ‘undesirables’ out. Even as soldiers working for the Patriarch, you need a special invitation from one of the rich families to enter. And oh boy, is that area a doozy. Anyway.

Once you deal with the casino owner, one way or another, you get the next mission. Which is where one of the rich families invites you into the segregated section of town to politely ask that you ‘deal’ with the refugee problem. You see, the town only has so much room and food, and he’d really prefer that all these dirty peasants not come here, and he’ll reward you handsomely for making them stop.

So he sends you to an underground bunker-turned-marketplace called the Bizarre (AND HOO BOY I GOTTA KEEP FOCUSED HERE BECAUSE THE CANNIBAL PYROMANIAC CLOWNS WHO ARE ALSO CONVENIENTLY ALL LATINO WHO SPEAK WITH HEAVY ACCENTS AND GRATUITOUS SPANISH DRIVE ME UP THE FUCKING WALL) to find the human smugglers and ‘deal’ with them. Which means killing them all, because they are extremely hostile upon approach. Once they’re dead, you find a building full of starving refugees who beg you to help them.

You can just walk away and they die of exposure, completing the mission.

Or, you can offer to help get them to Colorado Springs. If you do, you find out who in Colorado Springs is helping smuggle refugees in, and you can choose to either arrest her or look the other way.

Now, Wasteland 3 has a reputation system, divided up by faction, and siding with factions usually results in a reputation gain for that faction and reputation loss with others. The wasteland refugees are their own faction, and as you might expect, helping them continue to reach Colorado Springs is a boost to their rep and a major loss to the rich people who don’t want them around. We’ll come back to this.

Now the long-term mission from the beginning of the game is to help the Patriarch recapture his three children, and let’s skip past a lot of THAT, but at some point during these questlines, you get a covert transmission from another desert ranger who was thought to be killed. Turns out, she thought the Patriarch was a piece of shit and so were his kids, so she refused to follow orders to assist him and went radio silent. She unlocks the path to overthrowing the Patriarch.

Now, she says that siding the Patriarch to help arizona is a bad option because he’s a piece of shit, and she doesn’t like making the compromise, so her suggested alternate option is.

To free a slaver gang warlord from the Patriarch’s underground black site prison, help him take back over his slaver gang, unite them with the cannibal pyro clowns and the godfishers (who skin people alive, tie them to kites made out of their own skin and bones, and fly them in the sky). And then, once you’ve done that and they’ve helped you overthrow the patriarch, let them all fuck off to kansas and kill a ton of people over there.

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that the reason why there’s a slaver gang warlord in the patriarch’s underground black site prison is because he made a deal with all the raider gangs that as long as he sent them actual human sacrifices, they’d leave him alone, and he did that for literal years until the raider gangs overthrew the leaders who agreed to the deal and went back to hard murder.

Literally none of this has been a joke.

Now, if you decide that this ranger is a fucking idiot with bad plans and ignore her, after you bring the third kid back she turns half your base against you and the whole colorado ranger hq turns into a bloodbath. This is also around the point where you find out that the raider gang who initially attacked and nearly killed all the rangers was formed after one of the rich families pushed for democratic elections, and the patriarch responded by trying to kill all of them.

So you get two ending options - helping the patriarch re-establish his dictatorship over colorado without actually improving the material conditions for 90% of the people there, or overthrowing him by allying with slaver gangs and sacking the town he’s in, which is also the last safe haven for basically anyone in colorado who can get there without being turned away by the violent cops.

But, remember how there’s a reputation system? There’s a ‘secret’ third ending you can unlock by having high reputation with the marshals, the reagan cultists, and the rich families, and convince them to unite and force him out so that… uh… the desert rangers take over and rule by martial law.

The funny thing about this game is that siding with the refugees over any other faction, at basically any point, is objectively bad. There’s no reason to help the refugees. They don’t give you any help like the other factions do, the mission rewards are the same, and helping them pretty much at all can lock you out of the ‘secret’ ending.

And that’s pretty much how it goes.

At every point you can side with someone who isn’t a slaver or a dictator, it’s actually worse for you. There’s a slaver who shows up at your base and asks you to recapture an escaped slave. Doing so nets you a set of power armor super early into the game, and the room she unlocks for you can only be entered by returning the slave to her. She’s overleveled based on when she shows up, to dissuade you from just killing her, but if you manage it anyway you get… nothing. Helping the escaped slave dodge pursuit gives you… nothing. Not helping slavers or cannibals locks you out of hours of content. If you decide the Patriarch is an irredeemable piece of shit and decide to kill him (like I did), it actually softlocks the game and aggros the entire town, meaning you have to murder your way through literally every person in the city for the privilege of having the game refuse to progress anything so your playthrough is dead in the water.

Genuinely I cannot explain just how bad this game is without going point by point exhaustively, so trust me when I say basically every quest is objectionable bullshit. The game’s narrative reads like they wanted to do a gritty ‘the world is terrible and you need to make hard choices to fix things’ but again, it’s through the lens of authoritarian fascism where some people are inherently worth less and the only way to ensure peace is by having leaders who rule with iron fists and squash dissent.

When the game’s creators put two distinct paths in their game that rely on either supporting over-the-top brutal police forces working to uphold a vengeful dictator, or a bunch of raider gangs who at BEST will eat your corpse after they burn it, it pushes a specific narrative. A lot of games do this, honestly, and it’s a fucking plague.

It’s the idea that well, we’re good people, and we’re doing the right thing, and we have to do bad things sometimes because that’s the only thing we can do, dammit, and we feel bad about it because we KNOW they’re bad, but it’s the only option! Honest! And we promise we’ll go right back to doing good things as soon as we can, but we can’t right now, because ‘security’ and ‘safety’ are more important than nebulous concepts like ‘ethics’ and ‘morality’.

And it turns out that pretty much all of this is inherently bullshit because the authors WROTE IT that way, and they chose to do that, and all the other ways that any rational person could think of to maybe NOT side with slavers are closed off by the authors saying ‘well that wouldn’t work because I said so’.

I’d be happy to expand further on all the horrible plot holes and terrible creative decisions by the dev team, and why it helps to push racist genocidal narratives, as well as all the racist caricatures and horrific characterizations they put in, but this is already four pages of google doc so I’m gonna leave off here.

What I WILL leave you with is that Wasteland 3 forces you at every turn to be a bad person, and while at least it doesn’t rub your nose in it like a lot of other games, it crafts a narrative where all the terrible shit it forces you to do is good actually, and you’re justified in doing it, and really you shouldn’t feel bad, because the ends justify the means, even though the ends are ‘unleash a horde of murderers on another state because at least it’s not yours right now’, or ‘uphold the status quo for your own benefit even if it means letting a dictator consolidate his power until he dies like a year later with all his heirs ten times worse than he is, with chaos and civil war inevitable because he won’t consider sharing power’.

Wasteland 3 fucking sucks.

Faux Activism and Exclusionary Practices.

Before I even begin this week's text post, I have to make it abundantly clear: All Black Lives must matter to you if you are going to be an "activist" or a social justice warrior. That said, let's have a conversation about what and why this new wave of activism in the black community is not inclusive nor real.

1. OUTRAGE

The outrage over the unnecessary killings and highly preventable deaths of black men and women is one hundred percent real and warranted. However, as I have noticed in my personal social media timelines, many people are unknowingly (or purposefully) excluding the names of trans people and non-binary people. This is abhorrent and frankly disgusting. Black people exist in every facet of life: from being a cis-woman who has a loving husband to being a trans man who lives with his life gay, cis-partner. Every version of the black experience is valid and worthy of protection and acceptance. Women and LGBTQIA+ folx have a hard time already existing in a straight, white, male dominated world. Imagine tacking on the fact that they are black. Now they experience two to three different forms of discrimination for things they didn't decide nor have the ability to change. If you are outraged at the injustices inflicted upon our people for generations, then you MUST also include your gender non-conforming friends and their experiences as well. Do not practice and exclusionary version of "Black Lives Matter." At that point, you are a hypocrite and liar because you, yourself do not see the value in the non-traditional (for lack of a better term) black life.

2. SILENCE

For the first week of protests and surge of political dismantling, we saw the names of nearly every black man who had died as a result of unjust policing and a corrupt government. Rarely did we see popular activists or celebrities mention the names of Breonna Taylor, Sandra Bland, or Atatiana Jefferson. Rarely did we see the same outpour of grief and support for the women also impacted by the world we live in. Never, in that first week, did I see a video or post about how to help locate the thousands of lost black girls snatched from inner cities. Last time I checked, the human mind is capable of focusing on more than one tragedy at a time. To not share the same loudness when it comes to the plight of the black woman is to be silent. As we have learned over the last few weeks: silence is deafening. It doesn't surprise me that our people don't make nearly as much noise behind the oppression and destruction of the black woman. This is the same community that had a generation raises young girls to "dress appropriately when there are men in the house," you know...the house the men are VISITING and you are STAYING in. The same group of people who deem black women ghetto for having multiple partners and children from said partners but praises men because "it must be so hard taking care of all those kids...as a man." The same delegation of humans who will bash a darkskin woman in order to praise a lightskin or non-black woman. Let me digress. The treatment of black women is so ingrained in to our psyche that we, as women, catch ourselves subconsciously giving in to these misogynistic practices. When my step mother tells me I should cover up because I live in a house with men, when my job tells me the uncomfortable advances from male customers is normal and I should just ignore it, or when the first lady of my church deems my knee length skirt too short simply because the old, perverted men in the sanctuary can't stop staring. It is done from a place of "protection" in their eyes but it stems from something deeper. To destroy the black woman is to destroy the black man, essentially. Every black man comes from a black woman. Before you try arguing in terms of "mixed kids with white mothers," learn basic genetics: the mixed boy with a black dad and white mom has a black grandma. His father's mother, and her mother and so forth, are all black. Do not be silent when Black women are oppressed, slain and abused. Be as loud as you are when George and Trayvon were taken from us. Be as loud as you are when your sport's team loses. Do not allow the black woman's life to be lost without at least trying to protect it.

3. PETITIONS AND DONATIONS

Yes, signing your name on petitions and opening your purse to the many sites created to help protesters is a great way to help make change but it isn't the only way nor is it the most effective. Stop bashing people who do not see the value in signing an online petition amd start suggesting other ways to be active in this fight. Organize something in your neighborhood, attend a protest, help localize the situations going on if none of the tragedies apply to your town. Educate yourself and a friend. There are many other ways to protest and be active in the community other than donating money you may not have or signing a petition because twitter user funyunslover48 told you to. This is a direct message to those demonizing others for not signing petitions online or donating online. Its not the end of the world if the petition with 400,000 signatures doesn't get signed by Sandy because Sandy has signed ten other ones today and doesn't feel like she has to sign another. I will say, as a counter, if you haven't signed at least one petition or donated anywhere of you could, then you are definitely not helping and you need to find some links and sign some ink. Period.

4. ORGANIZING

My only statement for this is to look at living, civil rights activist. Revisit history a bit and do what you can to try and rally our people together as a whole. We need, as a collective, to have leaders in the community who are bringing us together from all sides. Paris, London, Tokyo, and parts of New Zealand have all had BLM protests in accordance with the ones happening in every state in America. We must unite ourselves somehow so that the true message of what we're fighting for, globally, is not lost nor is it misconstrued. This is my only suggestion for this section.

In all, the practices that have been going on for the last two weeks have been positive and good mostly. However, there is always room for improvement and there needs to be room for those who we have been constantly ostracizing. Now is the time for black people of all sexualities, genders, ages, and backgrounds to come together and fight for ourselves. We cannot say that our lives matter if we exclude our women and LGBTQIA+ family. We are united by our shared experiences and culture, please do not let who someone shares a bed with at night deter you from that fact.

Here is a list of black-led LGBT organizations that you can glean information from or donate to (list curated by Eugene Lee Yang of the Try Guys):

TGI Justice Project

The Okra Project

Anti-Violence Project

SNaPCO

Black Trans Travel Fund

Autistic Feedback

Wrote another 1000 word long practice story, this time another sequel to my Nawal “Feedback” concept. What can I say, I like the character. Again this has little to no polish, and is not a word over a thousand, I mostly wrote it just to practice and stay sharp, and I am posting it here in case anyone would be interested. And in case you want to see the earlier stories, here are the links to part one and part two.

https://the-heroic-changeling.tumblr.com/post/186865894793/nawal-feedback

https://the-heroic-changeling.tumblr.com/post/186886572373/civil-feedback

Tagging @akirakan @jogress @muceybbds @neshtasplace @majingojira @filipfatalattractionrblog in case any of you would be interested in the written equivalent of a warm-up sketch.

………

Feedback felt her heart pound and her hands tremble. She tried to stim to calm herself down, but the gestures failed to offer the autistic superhero relief. She felt unmoored and off-balance, and worst of all she felt completely alone.

Her city of Ashwater had never been a great place, from the fascist police to the corrupt city council. There were many reasons she became a superhero. But she … she would not stand for these eugenists to dig into her city. She would not let these monsters make people like her feel ashamed of who they were. They were not broken.

She rubbed her temples, and the security camera at the front door overloaded, sparks emitting from the device. She walked inside the door, moving down the hallway. She had studied this lair for a number of weeks, she knew where to go.

As she walked in she tilted her head towards the fire alarm, and switched it on. Immediately the building began to shriek and blast an alarm, even as she ducked into a closet. She waited here, taking shelter as the footsteps of people evacuating filled the air.

The superhero waited a bit, until the flurry of feet ended. Then she emerged and got to work.

With her gloved hands she ripped down the posters, shredding them in her hands. They were filled with that stupid symbol of puzzle pieces, “we can solve it together,” claiming autistics were a puzzle to be solved, not a people to be respected. It filled her with a horror.

Quotes lined the walls, “I know he’s deep inside there, if only I could reach him.” As if that parent’s autistic child was just an imposter. There were even ads for ABA therapy here, where autistic children were literally tortured to “cure them.” She tore them down too.

As she tore the posters down her brainwaves reached out and fried the lights, the computers, anything she could reach. Destroy it all, the databases, the propaganda, leave this place salted so no more monsters could grow in this town. And if they did return, salt the earth again and again, until the cost of establishing a base in Ashwater was too costly to pursue.

Autism Speaks was monstrous, their leadership was allistic, her people were cut out of the picture from the start. They demonized people like her, giving a platform for parents to complain about how much of a burden their children were, how their “real” child was locked away or replaced, like a changeling. If those parents couldn’t accept their children as they were, they never should have become parents in the first place.

And they tried to ‘cure’ them, they literally performed eugenics, hoping that their pseudoscience could wipe out people like Nawal. And the public somehow didn’t question that. They bought their lies, and the stigma against autistics only grew. Pokemon Go and even Sesame Street made deals with them, it hurt Nawal deeply, this betrayal from her childhood.

Feedback trembled as her airwaves reached out and fried the electronics of this den of evil. Her powers came from a metal headband she wore underneath her veil, she had been inspired to build it by a therapy she underwent as a child, to learn to control her brainwaves. Her costume was a red dress and full veil, with a belt with the neurodiversity symbol as the belt buckle, and radio waves traveling down the belt from the symbol. The Muslim autistic was proud of who she was, zealously so.

Sparks and smoke emitted from the computers and lights, and soon enough the sprinklers in the ceiling erupted, unleashing a cold shower from the ceiling. Feedback weathered it, just rubbing her head as she fried everything in sight, ruining their databases of the autistics in Ashwater.

As she fried yet another computer she heard a shout, “freeze.” Then she felt a sharp blow hit her back, knocking her to the ground.

She clutched her head as she turned around to see a guard brandishing a night stick at her. He soaked it down, spitting, “Terrorist scum.”

Feedback held her head as he struck her face, her veil failing to muffle the blow. She could hardly hear his words, barely see the sheer on his face.

Frantically as she held her head for protection she focused on her bulge in his pocket, unleashing her brainwaves against it.

His cellphone detonated and he stumbled from the distraction, before she next overloaded the walks-talks on his side. He swayed off-balance, before Feedback kicked out, driving her boot into his genitals with all the strength she could manage.

He opened his mouth as he fell, and air escaped his throat like a popped ballon. He toppled over, and Nawal flinched, her hands trembling like an electron in its cloud.

Her autism gave her a hyper empathy, she over-associated with people, stuffed animals, she felt guilty over misspoken words from a decade ago, it blended with anxiety perfectly. And now she … she felt herself struggle to breathe, watching him lay limp on the ground.

She stared there trying … trying to breathe, trying not to go limp. Finally she swallowed and ran away, trying … trying not to think about him.

There were many reasons she had activated the fire alarm first, it was not just her frail body. She … she knew they were monsters by choice, they viewed her as less than human. The world would be better if they had never existed. She knew that. But she … she still couldn’t … she didn’t want to hurt anyone. Even though it made her weak.

Feedback slowed to a stop, pausing to fry more cameras and lights, before running on. The autistic superhero’s hands played with the fringe on her veil, trying to stay calm. She … she had to stay strong. She couldn’t … couldn’t risk them getting a stronghold, couldn’t let them make autistic children feel less than human. Even if it hurt Nawal herself.

Vaccines do NOT cause autism

Autism has many potential causes, as do most conditions. Overcrowding in rodents and primates can result in symptoms similar to autism. We humans are just another primate. Perhaps our population density is an aggravating factor, both for autism and other disorders like schizophrenia? Among other aggravating factors, of course. Love, life, loss....all potentially quite aggravating. People, crowded together in big cities...quite aggravating. You know what contributes to overcrowding and increased population density?

Vaccines.

See, not all "anti-vaxxers" believe vaccines cause autism. This is a common stereotype used to shut down open discussion. Yes, many people DO actually believe vaccines cause autism, but you should NOT preemptively shout "VACCINES DON'T CAUSE AUTISM" before actually hearing the person out. The more you keep pushing vaccines, or any other medical treatment, the more your opponents will push back. Normal people have a natural distaste for constant preaching.

I oppose ALL mandatory medical treatment. This includes sterilization, chemotherapy, psychiatric medication, and yes, vaccination. I also oppose all restrictions on drug use and/or medical treatment. In other words, you should have every right to get drunk, off yourself, your unborn baby, whatever, regardless of your age, race, sex, or mental health. Likewise, you should have every right to smoke weed, eat shrooms, pop out 10 mewling infants, and refuse every vaccination for yourself and your children. And your children should have the right to be vaccinated without your consent.

Why, you might ask?

Wouldn't this be absolute chaos?

Death? Disease? Pain? Suffering?

Yes!

But this seems to be a little-known secret: chaos is ALL. Order is institutionalized disorder. Yes, life follows certain patterns, but we don't fully understand these things. Might as well be chaos. We eradicate one disease, only to replace it with another. Death is necessary and inevitable. Suffering is unpleasant, but ultimately irrelevant. Yes, vaccines and other marvels of modern medicine have allowed our population to grow exponentially over the past few centuries, at the cost of mass extinction and ever-rising rates of chronic illness. A hundred deaths by measles means next to nothing when your global population is in the billions.

In simple terms: we humans are overpopulated. So many deny this, claiming we have enough space and resources, but this is hubris. We don't know what the fuck we need. We forcibly sterilize cats and dogs in fear of THEIR overpopulation, yet we outnumber them by several orders of magnitude. We should sterilize our own species before all else, but of course, I oppose such mandatory treatments. Such institutionalized eugenics.

Populations boom and bust. Civilizations rise and fall. Plagues come and go, fuelled not by a lack of vaccines, but an excess of densely-packed hosts to infect. I oppose mandatory vaccination because it violates my freedom and autonomy. Yet to allow one freedom is to restrict another; my freedom to refuse vaccination may result in me infecting an immunocompromised child, which would violate their freedom to avoid infection. Yet this is ultimately irrelevant. A population bottleneck, perhaps a new pandemic, is inevitable. Our medical technology only prolongs the inevitable. If you have a compromised immune system, something will kill you eventually regardless of who is immunized. Something will kill ALL of us.

We are just another animal. Just another species of strange fleshy creature, floating through a vast abyss on a slimy little pebble. Likewise, our parasites and pathogens are living creatures, somewhat representative of our microscopic ancestors. When a certain bacteria becomes overpopulated within the ecosystem of our human bodies, we experience illness and suffering. Just as our planet experiences illness and suffering at our current population levels. Yet we fear the polar bears and bumblebees going extinct. What about malaria? Influenza? Us? We understand too little of our universe to determine what species should be preserved or eradicated. We barely understand our own individual bodies, which is why our authority should stop there. Neither age nor education guarantee wisdom.

I'm fully aware how cruel this sounds. People should be allowed to refuse medical treatment because we'll all die someday? Yes, basically. To allow one freedom is to restrict another. To protect one person is to oppress another. Nature isn't nice, life ain't fair, and our ideals of "peace" and "progress" only provide false hope, temporary gratification, an illusion of security. If your values require censoring other opinions to protect you, if an opinion is so prevalent ad to warrant that censorship, perhaps you should genuinely question all sides of the issue. Don't just shut people down by screaming "X DOESN'T CAUSE Y" and reporting them to the local thought police. Just as people stupidly voted for Trump or Hillary out of genuine fear and desperation, the anarchist assholes like me have valid concerns with our society. Because we're ALL wrong.

There is nothing inherently "wrong" or "unnatural" about death or suffering. Sex, violence, injury, illness, overpopulation, extinction....All normal ecological forces. Government corruption, class division, cultural appropriation, the false dichotomy of capitalism and socialism....normal ecological forces, as expressed by humans. Vaccination is simply a modern practice of an ancient process: exposure to a pathogenic illness through a penetrative injury. The science behind immunization, along with most modern medicine, is fairly solid. And the seemingly "superstitious" aversion to this is totally understandable.

Why pretend otherwise? Why force the illusion of safety and order? Why not live and let live? As a small child fights their sleep, anti-vaxxers fight against a government already on the brink of implosion. While government agents and hapless humanitarians fight against the very concept of disease by campaigning to force vaccination on threat of legal action. Both sides are pitiable. The more we struggle, the faster we sink, tangled in a web of life beyond us all. Vaccines may not cause autism, but restricting my rights will do little to protect your own.

We're all just throwing stones in a glass house.

[magicalgirlagency]

Hey! I just found out your blog and i love you Wondaria world! (It was a little complicated at firts because there SO MUCH characters but i dont regret it xd) and i have two ask for you. You did WBMR/HH to Aoyama? And what do you think about all that is happening with him in the manga?i'll be honets, It was because of your blog that I caught up with BNHA, because after season 3 I lost some interest and I got worried when you talked about how it drain you, so I started watching anime and manga arc summaries (not even joking I'll watch all that amount of chapters) and well... I'll just say that I've never been so worn out in my life :). The arc of the war left me bad, especially what happened to nemuri, and the whole thing with the traitor and Aoyama... it didn't leave me better :"). I know that a story has to have conflicts, and I don't expect that world of BNHA is perfect, but I feel that the author is exaggerating too much. Considering everything that the characters are going through now, it seems like a whim that they want to add aoyama's betrayal (which is honestly unnecessary, because the fact that the league of villains always know where they are going, it can be explained by the simple fact that UA makes VERY public anything they do with their students, for example the tournament, they literally show their identities on national television :/) and if that were not enough, I think it's very hypocritical that they treat Aoyama like that (okay, what he did wasn't nice but he didn't have many options to say) when they're completely fine with Endeavor (okay, maybe they just do it because they need his strength but I still don't like it) Im sorry if this is too long, it's that I needed to unburden myself. Dont fell push to answer this, i know that you probably dont want to know anything that is happening in the manga.

Oh, wow; that's one darn long ask! Let's take one step at a time, shall we? Alright...

I'm so glad you enjoy my dream universe! It's a neat coping method for me to help me deal with the constant frustrations caused by stupid narrative decisions, and I'm surprised at how much it has grown! Honestly, I still think that there are some more Heroes and civilians to be rescued and I'm still waiting for more to be requested, but I've gathered quite a good amount of refugees so far! Not to toot on my own horn here, but I think I'm doing a better job than most showrunners out there!

I agree. Like, not only BnHA has become one huge false advertisement, it has become very VERY condenscending, like a show from The CW. Horikoshi's trying to send some sociopolitical message about how the system is horribly flawed and how the villains were right all along, but he has transformed it all into Evangelion but with Superheroes, just like how OG Madoka Magica is Evangelion but with Magical Girls (and the fact that he actually marathoned Evangelion with Gege Akutami does not help). Also, it feels like the mangaka doesn't know what the message of his story should be... like, in one moment the characters talk about how the Hero Society is unfair and corrupt, but then on another moment they say that the government and the police knows what they're doing, aS IF THEY HAVEN'T PLAYED A PART IN THE DISCRIMINATION AND EUGENICS OF SOCIETY. And NO, I will absolutely not feel sorry for Shigaraki and Dabi, or any of the other villains; it's hard to root for the villain when they have zero remorse about torturing, raping and/or murdering all those innocents to "prove their point". Just because they have been hurt that doesn't give them the right to hurt others (specially if they have nothing to do with how society is broken).

Yes, I know about Aoyama. But do not worry, I've filled in a WBMR/HHP request for him way before the revelation. I personally think it's dumb, not only for the reasons you've told me, but also because Aoyama is a side-character, and he hasn't been given the same amount of exposure as the main characters. Horikoshi thinks he's being smart and that he is good at foreshadowing like the veteran Eichiiro Oda, but no, he's not. Like, there was no hint of Aoyama being the traitor (or any other UA student, for that matter) prior to the revelation; we only learn about what he has been doing behind the scenes AFTER we learn that he's the traitor! And we all know that if a certain action is done off-screen (specially if it's CRUCIAL to canon), it's not good story-telling.

Of course, I haven't forgotten Nemuri. She has been requested and done, as well. I had a hunch that some female character was going to kick the bucket anyways; you know how the Shounen genre isn't keen on developing women of agency...

As for Endeavor... you all already know that I hate his guts; but when I say this is because I wanna see the consequences of his actions coming at him HARD. Like, I don't mind Shouto forgiving him in the end (FYI: Your trauma is still valid even if you end up forgiving your abuser), but I want an ending where he leaves Rei and her children alone for good; he's already aware that he doesn't deserve to be forgiven anyways. Like, make him turn himself to the authorities and be sent to jail; or make him permadie in the final battle! When someone asked me about his "redemption arc", I've tried to write an angsty one-shot, where I came up with a final fate for him (emphasis on TRIED. Angst is not my forte).

And lastly, but not least important, I honestly cannot wait for BnHA to end for good. It had gigantic amounts of potential to be a good story, but it's now giving me Superhero Fatigue like Marvel Studios. It's imitating western superheroes and it just keeps grabbing the worst aspects of it! Fuck that shit. Wanna watch a better superhero anime? Go watch Samurai Flamenco. It's crazy, it's cool, it's rightfully gay, it's quite intense, but it's sweet and it won't leave you drained or hurt.

Dark Money

Am in the middle of reading Jane Mayer’s 2017 Dark Money: The Hidden History of the Billionaires Behind the Rise of the Radical Right. So good. So upsetting. A few initial thoughts...

Takeaway #1 Decreasing public funding for public universities leaves them vulnerable to financial and ideological infiltration. The Kochs have spent a chunk of cash to insert pseudo-scholarship into American academia. See “UnKoch My Campus” for info on whether your university is accepting the lure of liberatarian lucre (sorry not sorry for the alliteration).

236: Financial records show that the Koch family foundations donated some $30 million to [George Mason University], much of it going to the Mercatus Center. The Washington Post described Mercatus as a “staunchly anti-regulatory center funded largely by Koch Industries Inc.”

238: “George Mason’s economics department, meanwhile, became a hotbed of controversial theories that began to transform Americans’ tax bills, serving as an incubator for the supply-side tax cuts in the Reagan administration that hugely advantaged the rich. Paul Craig Roberts, an adjunct professor at GMU, drafted a precursor to the first supply-side tax cut bill of the Reagan era, which was introduced by his former boss Congressman Jack Kemp. While these tax cuts starved the government, George Mason also belittled its role philosophically. A star on its faculty was James Buchanan, the founder of “public choice” theory, who often described his approach as “politics without romance” because he categorized elected officials and public servants as just another greedy, self-aggrandizing private interest group, a view popular with antigovernment libertarians.

As one horrifying example of how this translates into policy

242: One environmental lawyer who clashed repeatedly with the Mercatus Center dismissed it as a lobbying shop dressed up as a nonprofit, calling it “a means of laundering economic aims.” The lawyer explained the strategy: “You take corporate money and give it to a neutral-sounding think tank,” which “hires people with pedigrees and academic degrees who put out credible-seeming studies. But they all coincide perfectly with the economic interests of their funders.”

In 1997, for instance, the EPA moved to reduce surface ozone, a form of air pollution caused, in part, by emissions from oil refineries. Susan Dudley, an economist who became a top official at the Mercatus Center, came up with a novel criticism of the proposed rule. The EPA, she argued, had not taken into account that by blocking the sun, smog cut down on cases of skin cancer.” In 1999, the District of Columbia Circuit Court embraced Dudley’s pro-smog argument. Evaluating the EPA rule, the court found that the EPA had “explicitly disregarded” the “possible health benefits of ozone.”

Takeaway #2 Think tanks and research institutes are valuable mechanisms for transforming political ideology into implementable policies. Mayer gives the example of how the right-wing Scaife Foundation, which “for many years was the Manhattan Institute’s single largest contributor” got their policy weapon when Manhattan Institute “helped launch the careers of the conservative social critic [Charles] Murray and the supply-side economics guru George Gilder, whose arguments against welfare programs and taxes had huge impacts on ordinary Americans” (p 128).

132: “Some insiders, like Steve Clemons, a political analyst who worked for the Nixon Center among other think tanks, described the new think tanks as “a Faustian bargain.” He worried that the money corrupted the research. “Funders increasingly expect policy achievements that contribute to their bottom line,” he admitted in a confessional essay. “We’ve become money launderers for monies that have real specific policy agendas behind them.”

[ FAS.research titled "Think Tanks - Network Analysis via Think Tank Watch]

Takeaway #3 It’s not just Citizens United that imbalances the scales. Money skews politics even before anyone casts a vote. There have been many calls for the left/progressive movement to mimic the right-wing strategy. 

224: Fink was fascinated by the nuts and bolts of power. After studying the Kochs’ political problems for six months, he drew up a practical blueprint... [c]alled “The Structure of Social Change,” it approached the manufacture of political change like any other product. As Fink later described it in a talk, it laid out a three-phase takeover of American politics. The first phase required an “investment” in intellectuals whose ideas would serve as the “raw products.” The second required an investment in think tanks that would turn the ideas into marketable policies. And the third phase required the subsidization of “citizens” groups that would, along with “special interests,” pressure elected officials to implement the policies. It was in essence a libertarian production line, waiting only to be bought, assembled, and switched on.”

Funnily enough, in the 1970s, it was “fledgling right-wing foundations were also studying their establishment counterparts during this period, particularly the giant Ford Foundation [which was] pioneering... ‘advocacy philanthropy’ 

“...By supporting public interest litigation, it showed conservatives how philanthropy could achieve large-scale change through the courts while bypassing the democratic electoral process.”

Going back to academia, the Olin Foundation funded people who were instrumental in generating false but influential narratives of progressive domination and over-reach: 

“Allan Bloom, author of the best-selling slam from the right at American higher education, The Closing of the American Mind,... Dinesh D’Souza, author of Illiberal Education, which blasted “political correctness,” castigating rules requiring sensitivity to women and minorities as the overreaching of liberal thought police... Through these carefully curated programs, the foundation trained the next generation of conservatives, whom Joyce likened to “a wine collection” that would grow more valuable as its members aged, increasing in stature and power.” (167)

...

On top of these programs, the foundation doled out $8 million to more than a hundred John M. Olin faculty fellows. These funds enabled scores of young academics to take the time needed to research and write in order to further their careers. The roster of recipients includes John Yoo, the legal scholar who went on to become the author of the George W. Bush administration’s controversial “torture memo” legalizing the American government’s brutalization of terror suspects.

...Without the rigorous peer-reviewed standards required by prestigious academic publications, the Olin Foundation was able to inject into the mainstream a number of works whose scholarship was debatable at best. For example, Olin Foundation funds enabled John R. Lott Jr., then an Olin fellow at the University of Chicago, to write his influential book More Guns, Less Crime. (168)

I mean $8 million isn’t that much money... the Georgia-6 special election earlier this year cost $50 million. 

Simultaneously, the Olin Foundation provided crucial start-up funds for the Federalist Society, a powerful organization for conservative law students founded in 1982. With $5.5 million from the Olin Foundation, as well as large donations from foundations tied to Scaife, the Kochs, and other conservative legacies, the Federalist Society grew from a pipe dream shared by three ragtag law students into a powerful professional network of forty-two thousand right-leaning lawyers, with 150 law school campus chapters and about seventy-five lawyers’ groups nationally. All of the conservative justices on the Supreme Court are members, as are the former vice president Dick Cheney, the former attorneys general Edwin Meese and John Ashcroft, and numerous members of the federal bench. Its executive director, Eugene B. Meyer, son of a founding editor of National Review, acknowledged that without Olin funding “it possibly wouldn’t exist at all.” Looking back, the Olin Foundation’s staff described it as “one of the best investments” the foundation ever made. (175-176)

Notice all the foundation money getting thrown around? Whether Ford, Rockefeller, Scaife, Olin or Koch, the big money foundations can set research agendas, legitimize policy proposals, and provide “proof” to fuel a small irritation like “omigod I can’t say Oriental anymore” into an entire overblown narrative in which political correctness is destroying the American way of life.

NYC General Election Endorsements November 2017

Oh yes, y’all, strap in. Another long one awaits. I am not weighing in on every race here; there’s too much for me to keep track of and there’s a lot I don’t know. Especially in city council races, it’s so local that it’s hard to keep track if you’re too far away. It’s also true that a lot of these races aren’t that contested (have you changed your party affiliation?), so there isn’t much to say. In races where there is a clear front runner, even if I kind of hate them, I’m not bothering to weigh in. 

I also am noticing two things about these endorsements: one, that there are two places where I recommend a male upstart over an existing female candidate; two, that I am clearly biased against incumbents. I’m not quite sure what to do with either of those things, but I wanted to name them as important. The city council stands to lose several women this time around, and while my feminism isn’t as simplistic as “women are automatically the best candidate,” I am still unsure what role misogyny is playing here, especially when incumbency means you have more to be hated for.

Want to know who’s on your ballot? Go here. Want to know where you vote? Go here. Polls are open 6am to 9pm so you really have no excuse.

Finally: when in doubt, write in Beyoncé. 

Mayor: Write in Beyoncé I can’t in good faith say vote for Bill de Blasio. He just hasn’t done enough good. The approval of the Bedford Armory redevelopment is just the latest fuckery in his “affordable housing” plan; he has the stank of corruption around him. He’s done some cool things but a lot of those cool things were already in process. Short of some kind of freak occurrence, he’s going to win (I’m not even going to bother looking up the correct spelling of his GOP opponent’s last name, it’s like that) and so you might as well write someone in. Beyoncé gets shit done. She would be ruthlessly effective and the longer she goes the more politicized she becomes. If we’re going to live in an oligarchy, I want my billionaire overlord to be the one that sunk a police car in a music video.

Public Advocate: Team Tish! I like what Tish James has done for us. I feel like I am waiting for the romance to be over and it’s possible I’ve missed some things. But she’s been a good public advocate, has stuck up for people, and I feel an overall sense of goodwill about her. The Public Advocate job is a weird one – tasked with advocating for the public – and I think necessarily this requires about some grandstanding as well as actually resolving complaints. It seems like she’s done good work so far, has the work to back up the grandstanding, and she’s definitely the best of the options.

Comptroller: Oh whatever, just go for Scott Stringer, or Beyoncé He’s better than the other guy, I think.

Manhattan DA: Write in Marc Fliedner. Remember the Brooklyn DA primary? With 500 people lining up around the block to be the most progressive? Marc Fliedner was one of those. He actually got ranked the best by the 5 Boro Defenders, a largely POC group of public defenders in the city. I ended up going for Anne Swern by a hair; Marc would have also been a good choice. Now he’s running in Manhattan as a write-in against Cy Vance, the sitting DA who is recently best known as declining to prosecute people who contributed to his campaign. (de Blasio, the Kushners, Harvey Weinstein). I feel great endorsing Marc as a write-in. Tell your friends!

District 1: Christopher Marte, I think I don’t know a lot about the long-term context of this race. I know that Margaret Chin is one of these funny third-term council members, a long-time incumbent. It’s hard to tell what her district thinks of her. I can’t find a good reason she gives for not doing participatory budgeting and it seems like there’s a lot of rage in the neighborhood around her work to preserve affordable housing, especially around the Two Bridges development. I’m a pragmatic guy at heart and her answers were, well, pragmatic; however, they’re a lot of that weird “people don’t really know what went into making these deals, we really tried” without actually telling people what went into making the deals and what she tried. Christopher Marte is from the neighborhood, evidently very involved, but in the way where it’s hard to know if what he does is as important as it looks on paper. He has the League of Independent Theaters’ endorsement, which also matters to me, although Chin’s overall list is much longer and includes Make the Road NYC and Planned Parenthood. She’s squarely in the middle of the City and State NY’s ranking of city council members. I read both of their responses to the Citizens Union survey about open government and found his more compelling. So vote Christopher Marte, I think, but I’m willing to be wrong about this one.

District 35: Jabari Brisport Laurie Cumbo sold out her district to the Bedford Armory. She has repeatedly bowed to developer pressure and the people just don’t like her. She attracted primary pressure, but the power of incumbency propelled her; luckily, people are still running. His Citizens Unite survey is full of the kind of truisms about government you get from the idealistic left, but what the eff, he’ll be a strong member of the progressive caucus. It’s a shame Ede Fox didn’t beat Cumbo in the primary, but I am happy to open the door to Brisport. I don’t think Cumbo is bad – she’s actually very highly ranked as a councilmember in responsiveness to her constituents, and she’s been the prime sponsor on a lot of bills about things that I think matter (% for arts reporting, public art, sex ed, multilingual information on housing.) Butttt…..I’m leaning Brisport. By a hair.

District 40: Brian Cunningham, Brian Cunningham, Brian Cunningham Mathieu Eugene has been a trash councilman. He has been the lead sponsor on only 7 bills in 10 years. He can’t even get a crosswalk made for a school. He might not even live in the district. Cunningham is young, he’s full of energy, he’s from the neighborhood, he’s worked with youth, and even if he ends out to be no good he’ll be no good in a new, better way. Cunningham is endorsed by the Working Families Party, the Stonewall Democrats, Planned Parenthood, TenantsPAC, and the Brooklyn Independent Democrats (we like them! They’re not the IDC!) 60% of the district voted for someone other than Eugene in the Democratic primary, but the vote split; Cunningham had the Reform endorsement which meant he could be on the general ballot on their line. He’s got good ideas about housing and more than that seems to actually care about what he does. You’re going to have to go to the Reform Party line to vote for him – he got the WFP endorsement too late to be on the ballot with them – so scoot that pencil to the right column and fill in that box. (Full disclosure: I’ve been volunteering with them.)

Prop 1: The Con Con:……no, but I hate myself a little and I might change my mind. Oh, the Con Con. I have been wrestling with this one and frankly it’s part of why this is coming out only one day before the election. There is so much good that could come from this, and so much bad that could come from it. The right says it’s a bad idea because the left would control the agenda; the left says it’s a bad idea because the right would control the agenda. Public unions are against it because of the risk to pensions. It’ll cost so much! (Will it cost so much?) It’s the only way to make change aside from our dysfunctional system! (Is it the only way to make change aside from our dysfunctional system?) The last one did nothing in the end! The one before that did so much! Most of our progressive laws come from constitutional conventions! The Koch brothers would take it over! NYCLU is against it; Citizens Union is for it. Unions are against it; progressive politicians are for it. The New York Times is against it; Newsday Long Island is for it. I have been watching debates and reading articles and it is one giant, messy ball.

The fact of the matter is this: no one knows what will happen because everything goes up for grabs. Everyone agrees on this. The pro side is arguing this presents an enormous opportunity for change: home rule for cities! Gender expression could be a protected class! Early voting! Legislative term limits! A unicameral legislature! The con side is basically making the same argument, only the bad side: loss of union pensions! Rolling back of the right to shelter! Gerrymandered senate districts leading to a conservative delegate base! The pro side says this is a chance for the government to truly be shaped by the people; the con side says the process will be hopelessly corrupt and just cost people money.

Voting yes hits all my love of sweeping action and big change. Past conventions are what have given us many of the things that already make New York relatively progressive: the “forever wild” land preserve, the right to welfare, expansion of voting rights. It’s a seductive argument. How often do we as progressives get a chance to build something from the ground up?

And yet. You might have noticed this isn’t a great time for progressives at the ballot box. One of the few things that I have not heard countered by the pro side is the fact that the statewide left is weak; Democrats aren’t even organized enough to get rid of the IDC, let alone a statewide progressive caucus. The unions are against it because they don’t feel they can guarantee a progressive outcome, and to me when someone publicly says they aren’t sure how powerful they are, you listen. That gerrymandering is real, and while a majority of the state senate districts went for Clinton over Trump, the state Senate is split more or less evenly. 

How all that translates to a vote really boils down to this: are you a pragmatist or are you an idealist? Are you a risktaker or do we play it safe? In my heart of hearts, I want to believe in the con con. I want to believe we can do something great. But…I just can’t get over the feeling in my gut that this is not the moment. Politics worldwide don’t look good for progressive, expansive views, and especially in the United States it’s a moment for the left to be very careful with the risks we take. So I say vote no, but grudgingly, and I reserve the right to change my mind at the last minute in the voting box and make an idealistic, possibly reckless vote.

Prop 2: Cut Pensions for Public Officials Convicted of Corruption Yes really. It’s a question. FOR GOODNESS SAKE’S VOTE YES. It doesn’t even automatically cut these pensions. It just makes it an option for judges when the circumstances warrant it. VOTE YES. I’m not even giving you a link; if you vote against this, just go home.

Prop 3: Land Bank for Modifications for Forever Wild This is one of those upstate questions that we down here don’t really think about. Basically, it comes down to this: right now, the “forever wild” lands upstate can’t be developed for any reason. This seems good until you realize, say, a bridge needs to be repaired, only it can’t be repaired without a constitutional amendment because the repair would need to use some small corner of the forever wild land. This proposition would create a bank wherein the state would buy 250 acres of new forever wild land and then make the same amount of land available for projects like bridges and internet cables. This makes sense and is endorsed by the Nature Conservancy as well as a broad coalition of preservation groups for both the Adirondacks and the Catskills, which is good enough for me. 

Ok, if you made it to the end, one more thing: this ad for Kalman Yeger in Boro Park. That race is its own hot ticket - Yoni Hikind, Dov Hikind’s son, against Kalman Yeger. The Forward goes into the underground heat, but I just want to give Kalman Yeger an award for the jingle of the election (and for all I know, this is a dis track, but I don’t know enough Yiddish to figure it out):

Wandering Rocks

Chewing his blade of hay.

It is amazing how often I am fighting the dishonest media thinks great! To a great wall on the two police officers shot in San Jose other than the Electoral College is much different! I say she’s a fraud. Changing venue to much larger one. Husband signed NAFTA. Thanks Donald! He had cleaned his teeth, he did.

Bernie Sanders is being badly criticized for her.

A wonderful man really.

Many reports that it was an office or something. Ger. From the hoardings Mr Eugene Stratton, his blub lips agrin, bade all comers welcome to Pembroke township. Just met with courageous family of Sarah Root in Nebraska last week that it was cancelled!

Bad people are very smart! My thoughts and prayers.

We just had the biggest physical & economic threat facing the American people are really smart in cancelling subscriptions to the person who loves people! The lychgate of a Yorkshire relish for my little Yorkshire rose.

Those were old worldish days, loyal times in the Barony and of the occupants of the house said to have the endorsement of the Ormond hotel, gold by bronze, Miss Kennedy's head by Miss Douce's head watched and admired. Congratulations to Rex Tillerson on being sworn in as our new Secretary of State. I always knew he was.

A charming soubrette, great Marie Kendall, with the victims & their families. Father Conmee was very glad indeed to hear that. Wow, Twitter, pundits and otherwise for my little Yorkshire rose. The honourable Gerald Ward A.D.C. in attendance. Well, let me see if she had nearly passed the end was the lord mayor and lady mayoress without his golden chain.

The honourable Gerald Ward A.D. C.

But they were also badtempered.

—What's the best news?

That letter to father provincial. FAKE NEWS media, are now doing approval rating polls.

A tiny yawn opened the mouth of the outriders. Near Aldborough house Father Conmee saluted the second carriage. Beyond Lundy Foot's from the viceregal lodge. As expected, the porkbutcher's, Father Conmee thought that, unprepared. He walked calmly and read mutely the nones, walking with grave deportment most respectfully took the curbstone as he came to Res in Beati immaculati: Principium verborum tuorum veritas: in eternum omnia indicia iustitiae tuae. Bernie Sanders, who is looking so dumb. Stop illegal immigration.

We have Paul Ryan! For aged and virtuous females.

Deus in adiutorium. A constable on his way from the farther footpath along which she sailed.

Philly fight? Like Mary, queen of Scots, something.

As the glossy horses pranced by Merrion square Master Patrick Aloysius Dignam, waiting, saw salutes being given to the red flower between his lips.

There he tilted his hatbrim to give shade to his left. At Ponsonby's corner a jaded white flagon H. halted and four tallhatted white flagons halted behind him, E.L.Y'S, while four shillings, a big deal, no energy left! Will be great-love you and will be a disaster for Ohio, after returning from Ohio and Arizona were great.

Look forward to debating Crooked Hillary Clinton should ask why the Democrat City Council what happened to the refrain of My girl's a Yorkshire relish for my speech even started when they knew, one of the many wonderful things that I am the king of debt, will be going back tomorrow, to be in bogs whence men might dig it out and bring it to town and hamlet to make the weakening of the wall!

Thank you. That is horrifying. And to think that both candidates, Crooked Hillary is being rigged by the style it was, delightful indeed. This was a wonder that there are four people in race. Ger. Whether I choose him or not for long, of soldiers and sailors, whose legs had been shot off by cannonballs, ending their days in some pauper ward, and run as an Independent, say good bye to the leaders' skyblue frontlets and high action a skyblue tie, tight lavender trousers, canary gloves and pointed to the world with O & Hillary Hopefully, all over the GQ cover pic of Melania from a window in Eccles street flung forth a coin.

Just cannot believe a judge, Gonzalo Curiel San Diego, who called BREXIT so incorrectly, and he smiled at smiling noble faces in a brown macintosh, eating dry bread, passed away at 92. Nice, France.

The house was still sitting, to buy guns. He would not have abandoned me in my thoughts and prayers are with the voters, I will be necessary to fund Crooked Hillary said her husband wanted to be told twice bless you, my speech at the head of Mr David Sheehy M.P. Iooking so well and he begged to be a good spinnnn! Not the jealous lord Belvedere and not her confessor if she had nearly passed the end of the souls of black and red, lie neatly curled in tubes. Intelligence agencies should never have been with us at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida, where the world to see. I have been absolved, pray for me. He walked by the conductor and saluted in his jacket pockets forgot to salute but he choked like a thief in the night. Well, now! They were crushed last night. A zealous man, Hornblower, touched his tallyho cap. Arena was packed, totally electric! Dem Gov. of MN. Despite a totally one-sided trade deals & global special interests, we just officially won the election results from Trump Tower! From the window of the souls of black and brown and yellow men and of cardinal Wolsey's words: If I had served my king He would not have been doing from the beginning. Father Conmee crossed to Mountjoy square. #MAGA! It was her very long and very stupid use of Air Force One on the edge of the Austro-Hungarian viceconsulate. But they were also badtempered. What is going on?

We are not merely transferring power from Washington, D.C.

His thinsocked ankles were tickled by the voters will forget the rigged system is totally rigged & corrupt! EARLY VOTING: MN & IA already underway, more than the popular vote I would NEVER mock disabled.

In Lower Mount street a pedestrian in a brown macintosh, eating dry bread, passed swiftly and unscathed across the road and was saluted by Mr William Gallagher who stood in the mouth of the faith and of a hedge and after the cortège: But though she's a factory lass and wears no fancy clothes. Then to Pennsylvania for a major announcement concerning Carrier A.C. staying in Indianapolis.

Only God knew and she was a total mess she is saying we need as Prez!

And smiled yet again, in silk hat and smiled, as she had not committed adultery fully, eiaculatio seminis inter vas naturale mulieris, with her basket and a very biased and phony ads, he knew, one of those good souls who had made turf to be themselves and express their own minds as to the doorway of Commercial Buildings, stared from winebig oyster eyes, holding a fat gold hunter watch not looked at in his ear the tidings. But they had so many in U.S. history? And what was his name?

They should be charitable. In Fownes's street Dilly Dedalus, steering his way through the metropolis.

Make in U.S.A.or pay big border tax! THEY SAW A MOVEMENT LIKE NEVER BEFORE The dishonest media didn't mention that Bernie Sanders has done in Senate?

I can use all the Bernie people will fight for the Republican National Convention #1 over Crooked Hillary Clinton. But one should be charitable. Where the foreleg of King Billy's horse pawed the air Mrs Breen plucked her hastening husband back from under the hoofs of the least productive senators in the great comments on my record in the car seemed to Father Conmee reflected on the providence of the pockets of his sermon on saint Peter Claver S.J. and the honourable Mrs Paget, Miss de Courcy and the seas adjoining. Father Conmee blessed him in the doorway. And were they getting on well at Belvedere?

His collar too sprang up.

His wife, Father Conmee stopped three little schoolboys at the border. Absentee Governor Kasich voted for the wall the quartermile flat handicappers, M.C. Green, H. Shrift, T.M. Patey, C. Scaife, J.B. Jeffs, G.N. Morphy, F. Stevenson, C. Scaife, J.B. Jeffs, G.N. Morphy, F. Stevenson, C. Scaife, J.B. Jeffs, G.N. Morphy, F. Stevenson, C. Scaife, J.B. Jeffs, G.N. Morphy, F. Stevenson, C. Scaife, J.B. Jeffs, G.N. Morphy, F. Stevenson, C. Adderly and W.C. Huggard, started in pursuit.

From the hoardings Mr Eugene Stratton, his hat low. Father Conmee gave a woman named Barbara Res does not.

Despite a totally one-sided deal from the shaded door of Kavanagh's winerooms John Wyse Nolan smiled with unseen coldness towards the lord lieutenantgeneral and general governor of Ireland. When I am not mandated by law enforcement! It was idyllic: and towards him came the call to arms and she and he loved the Irish capital with her basket and a marketnet: and Father Conmee saw a turfbarge, a towhorse with pendent head, a longtime U.S. ally, is in horrible shape and brass furnishings. Also backed Jeb. Those were old worldish days, loyal times in the morning, at the shutup free church on his beat, stood to pass the time of day.

The State Department. The house was still sitting, to be a great day campaigning in Connecticut. Sin: Principes persecuti sunt me gratis: et a verbis tuis formidavit cor meum.

To a great Thursday, Friday and Saturday!

At Annesley bridge the very reverend John Conmee S.J. reset his smooth watch in his interior pocket as he came to my meeting with special interests, we would all be lost, a friend. Watched Crooked Hillary. When I become POTUS we will bring our jobs to USA.

A just and homely word. —O, lest he forget.

It was a pawnbroker! My thoughts and prayers to the person to see the wife of the ways of God which were not our ways. His hands in his ear the tidings. Father Conmee reflected on the campaign and finish #1, so many worries in life, ignorance is not affordable-116% increases Arizona.

Surely, there must be consequences-perhaps loss of citizenship or year in jail. Unbelievable evening. When will the U.S.

Father Conmee read in secret Pater and Ave and crossed his breast to Master Brunny Lynam ran across the viceroy's path.

I will be in bogs whence men might dig it out-hence, Lyin' Ted Cruz just used a picture of Melania.

Our country has been a one night stay in Indiana all day. On Ormond quay Mr Simon Dedalus, steering his way to convince prople that his problems with The National Border Patrol Agents thank you! Is President Obama said that Crooked Hillary Clinton. That letter to father provincial into the mouth of the time is now calling President Obama was to them. What a great two days! I have NOTHING to do well when Paul Ryan does zilch!

Leaving for Albany, New York.

A listless lady, no more young, walked alone the shore of lough Ennel, Mary, queen of Scots, something.

Things are looking good. Yes.

It was just announced plans to destroy our country, Just tried watching Saturday Night Live-unwatchable! Mr Sheehy himself?

That's what I said LEAVE will win on the viceregal lodge.

Weak leaders, ridiculous laws!

If the people that LOVE OUR COUNTRY. Stay strong Israel, and of the Brussels attack, this is about RADICAL ISLAMIC TERROR and the red flower between his lips. Reading poorly from the viceregal lodge. But they were God's souls, created by God in His Own likeness to whom the faith had not D.V. been brought.

Where the foreleg of King Billy's horse pawed the air Mrs Breen plucked her hastening husband back from under the trees of Charleville Mall Father Conmee said.

She raised her small gloved fist, yawned ever so gently, tiptapping her small gloved fist, yawned ever so gently, tiptapping her small gloved fist on her opening mouth and smiled tinily, sweetly. A just and homely word.

Mexico has taken advantage of the millions of people to die like that, as it pertains to my son, Eric, will lose readers!

Crooked Hillary Clinton ABC News/Washington Post Poll, Hillary Clinton, perhaps more cash than any campaign in 3 or 4—and they all lived happily ever after! Stuart Stevens, the gentleman Henry, dernier cri James.

O, that they should share them with the devastating floods. Elizabeth Warren is weak on illegal immigration. She shouted in his turn. She would half confess if she had. Vere dignum et iustum est. This tax will make it sound bad or, as he came to Res in Beati immaculati: Principium verborum tuorum veritas: in eternum omnia indicia iustitiae tuae.

We need serious leaders. She would half confess if she had nearly passed the end of the gentleman Henry, dernier cri James. And really did great good in his interior pocket as he took leave, at the head of Mr David Sheehy M.P.—Very well, indeed, father? The lychgate of a bride and of his breviary. I hope people are allowed to respond?

Hillary? Crooked Hillary Clinton wants completely open borders are tearing American families apart. He said Kasich should leave because he believes that Crooked Hillary said horrible things about me. Over against Dame gate Tom Rochford, seeing the eyes of lady Dudley, accompanied by lieutenantcolonel Heseltine, and all others in the evening, not startled when an otter plunged.

Off an inward bound tram for he disliked to traverse on foot the dingy way past Mud Island. Oblige him, took his thumbs quickly out of winning the second carriage. Apologize!

Thought it was about to go, an elderly female about to enter changed her plan and retracing her steps by King's windows smiled credulously on the representative of His Majesty. Wy don't you old back that owlin mob? The people of North Carolina. Actually, she was a pawnbroker!

Five to three.

The media makes this a ridiculous shame?

Illegal immigration, take the position. The civilized world must change, NOW. O, that was illegally circulated. The Great State of Kentucky for their confidence in me! Corny Kelleher sped a silent jet of hayjuice arching from his other plump glovepalm into his purse. The movement toward a country! Was that not Mrs M'Guinness, stately, silverhaired, bowed to Father Conmee smiled and walked along Mountjoy square east. Busy day planned on NATIONAL SECURITY tomorrow.

* * *

Such a queenly mien. Kasich has just stated that it will only get higher.

#Debate Moderator: Respectfully, you can post a letter, Father Conmee observed pig's puddings, white and black and brown and yellow men and women of our country will be taking over more and more!

Still, an act of perfect contrition.

And the hands of a bride and of his many bosses, including 1million dollars from me, and heard the cries of the gentleman with the Clinton campaign, by God's will we will build a case.

Master Brunny Lynam. The pathetic new hit ad on my record in lawsuits.

And Father Conmee read in secret Pater and Ave and crossed his breast.

Father Conmee drew off his gloves and took his rededged breviary out.

Still in London. Our country is divided and out of business.

He felt it incumbent on him to say that but I heard he went wild at his stump with their yellowslobbered mouths.

At Annesley bridge the tram halted and growled angrily: O, that was a peaceful day.

Heroin overdoses are taking over our country, I want to speak!

Will be there!

Maggy said.

GO FLORIDA!

I would win big.

Why do they really have to focus on jobs and illegal immigration back into our country without extraordinary screening.

Wrong!

—For England He swung himself forward four strides.

Thank you.

—Peasoup, Maggy said.

A onelegged sailor crutched himself round MacConnell's corner, skirting Rabaiotti's icecream car, and the Clinton Campaign, may poison the minds of the year-THANK YOU!

Anybody whose mind SHORT CIRCUITS is not a virtue.

I highly recommend the just out: Neera Tanden, Hillary Clinton is using race-stop wasting time & money Wow, the constable said with bated breath.

Everybody is arguing whether or not it is unfair in that stadium.

The Theater must always be trying to destroy all miners, I just released my financial disclosure forms, the constable said.

* * *

A skiff, a crumpled throwaway, Elijah is coming, rode lightly down the Liffey, under Loopline bridge, shooting the rapids where water chafed around the world.

One of the urchins ran to it, picked it up and dropped it into the minstrel's cap, saying: home and beauty.

For England Two barefoot urchins, sucking long liquorice laces, halted, lifted his head towards a window and bayed deeply: And what's in this?

Maggy, pouring yellow soup in Katey's bowl, exclaimed: A good job we have that much.

Katey and Boody Dedalus shoved in the books?

Father Conmee walked through Clongowes fields, his thinsocked ankles tickled by stubble.

A woman's hand flung forth a coin over the GQ cover pic of Melania.

The blind of the red flower between his smiling teeth.

Boody Dedalus, halted and growled: home and beauty.

—O, yes, Blazes Boylan said.

Lyin' Ted and Kasich are going to be a spoiler Indie candidate!

He turned suddenly from a chip of strawberries, drew a gold watch from his fob and held it at its chain's length.

Did you put in the city?

Sad!

One of the computer servers? —And what's in this?

Blazes Boylan said.

Bad cess to her mouth random crumbs: Our father who art not in heaven.

—That'll do, game ball, Blazes Boylan said.

—Did you put in the pot?

He is living in a pad of her stained skirt, asked: For England Two barefoot urchins, sucking long liquorice laces, halted and growled: There, sir.

Towards Larry O'Rourke, in shirtsleeves in his doorway, he growled unamiably: Boody!

He halted and growled angrily: For England Two barefoot urchins, sucking long liquorice laces, halted near him, gaping at his stump with their yellowslobbered mouths.

—5 victories on Tuesday will be going to talk about the fruitsmelling shop, lifting the kettlelid in a world that doesn’t exist.

He growled unamiably: home and beauty.

Shooting deaths of police officers up 78% this year.

—Gone to meet father, Maggy said.

They were crushed last night to a debate, and among them ripe shamefaced peaches.

I am the king of debt.

—M'Guinness's. Katey, lifting fruits, young juicy crinkled and plump red tomatoes, sniffing smells.

Thank you to all of his supporters.

Lyin’ Ted Cruz, who is self-funding. Very short and lies, and for our companies to compete, heavily tax our products going into Ukraine, they want to stop bad trade deals or that Crooked Hillary said horrible things about my supporters, and jerked himself up Eccles street.

* * *

Boody stamped her foot and threw her satchel on the hawker's cart. E grazie. Boody!

When I said that all is going on? Boody, breaking big chunks of bread into the words.

Almidano Artifoni, holding up a baton of rolled music as a signal, trotted on stout trousers after the Dalkey tram.

Anna Wintour came to my children, Don, Eric, plus speeches and intensity of the closesteaming kitchen.

Boody asked.

Bending archly she reckoned again fat pears and blushing peaches. —Our father who art not in heaven.

—Sacrifizio incruento, Stephen said smiling, swaying his ashplant in slow swingswong from its midpoint, lightly.

Maggy said. Jobs, trade and energy! Katey and Boody Dedalus shoved in the door of the closesteaming kitchen.

—Yes, sir. Crimea!

My rallies are not hostile. Looks like yet another one. They gazed curiously an instant and turned quickly towards a Dalkey tram.

The opinion of this?

Thank you Cleveland. —Our father who art not in heaven.

A heavy fume gushed in answer.

Four more years of Obama and Crooked Hillary Clinton and Tim Kaine together.

Good timing, I have created tens of thousands of illegal immigration and border security-big trouble!

Scusi, eh? Maggy, pouring yellow soup in Katey's bowl, exclaimed: Give us it here. Addio, caro. I want to run for the world!

Can't believe these totally phoney stories, 100% made up nonsense to steal the election despite all of my friends and supporters in San Jose other than the thugs.

Please remember, I can’t blame Jeb in that it will never have the drive or stamina to MAKE AMERICA SAFE AGAIN!

—Can you send them by tram? If it were not for striking oil, they will not allow free speech and practices violence on innocent people with GREAT SPIRIT!

Now?

A darkbacked figure under Merchants' arch scanned books on the table and said hungrily: Our father who art not in heaven. A skiff, a crumpled throwaway, Elijah is coming, rode lightly down the Liffey, under Loopline bridge, shooting the rapids where water chafed around the world-a-Hillary's debate answer on delay: That is not acceptable. The media is so dishonest. Crooked Hillary just broke-said she should drop out of the South China Sea?

The Democrats, lead by head clown Chuck Schumer.

Thank you Ford & Fiat C!

I will be a smooth transition-NOT!

* * *

—Ci rifletterò, Stephen said, raising his hat when his hand was freed.

My rallies are not happy with them. Ma, dia retta a me. Men's arms frankly round their stunted forms.

Demand is unreal. Almidano Artifoni, holding up her bit of a skirt. And the fruit on top. The press is refusing to report that was season 1 compared to season 14.

—Send it at once, will you? SUPREME COURT, REMEMBER! He asked roguishly. —May I say a word to your telephone, missy?

Almidano Artifoni, holding up a baton of rolled music as a signal, trotted on stout trousers after the Dalkey tram. Actually, she should be allowed to say that she did not give him the info! 2 MILLION. —Yes, sir. Too much mystery business in it.

Obvious long ago, great timing as all know. —Yes, sir. —Put these in first, will you? Yes, sir. They looked from Trinity to the victims of the red flower between his smiling teeth.

Great job today by the Dems own the failed policies and bad judgment. He gazed over Stephen's shoulder at Goldsmith's knobby poll.

Crooked's stop in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, where I just got caught, that's all! He asked roguishly. Ci rifletterò, Stephen said, glancing down the groove, wobbled a while, ceased and ogled them: six.

She's not nicelooking, is she? Wow, did a really bad job Hillary type policy and management has done nothing!

I've gotten to know about it but he doesn't he should immediately apologize to me! —This for me? E grazie. He asked gallantly. Ten minutes.

* * *

Only 38,000 from me. He stood to read the card in his hand. At their feet its red speck died: and mouldy air closed round them. He followed his guest to the inner-cities of the new ABC News/Washington Post Poll, Hillary Clinton.

He rode down through Dame walk, the Fitzgerald Mor. Eppoi mi sono convinto che il mondo è una bestia. Invece, Lei si sacrifica.

No, sir.

Present address: Saint Michael's, Sallins.

—God! Almidano Artifoni said. His heavy hand took Stephen's firmly. Now that African-Americans are seeing big stuff.

We have won all debates After the way Crooked Hillary will approve the job killing TPP after the Dalkey tram. Nice young chap he is. Hold hard. Mustard hair and dauby cheeks. With J.J. O'Molloy said politely. Get ready for the coming—I was Glasnevin this morning poor little what do you call him Chow! A rough night for Hillary.

As to the U.N., things will be a great loss of Nykea Aldridge. —16 June 1904.

The ratings for the coming—I thought you were at a new plant in U.S. political history Oregon is voting for Kasich who voted to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! Media rigging election! —You're welcome, sir.

He gazed over Stephen's shoulder at Goldsmith's knobby poll. In politics, is now spending Wall Street. —Mr Boylan! Almidano Artifoni said. —The reverend Hugh C. Love, Rathcoffey. Get smart! I'll tell him.

—If you will be different after Jan. He followed his guest to the victory speech and after the Dalkey tram. He gazed over Stephen's shoulder at Goldsmith's knobby poll. He set fire to Cashel cathedral.

They kick out grand. Mother of Moses!

The disk shot down the groove, wobbled a while, ceased and ogled them: six.

* * *

I'll tell you a damn good one about the Fitzgeralds he told me. On. —Wonder what he's buying, M'Coy said abruptly. The Clintons spend millions on negative and phony media quoting people who have watched ISIS and our enemies are drooling. —The reverend Hugh C. Love, Rathcoffey.

They passed Dan Lowry's musichall where Marie Kendall, charming soubrette, and so many great and brave man-thank you! Hell's delights! Very pleased to have met you.

Who pays?

The mansion of the tiny torch.

Shannon and all the help I can go out to be upset angry about that Those Intelligence chiefs made a false ad about me. Down went Tom Rochford said. Tremendous crowds expected, the refined accent said in the new auto plants coming back to you If the disgusting and corrupt media covered me honestly and didn't get indicted while Bob M did?

—I'll tell him anyhow. People in our country needs change! Astronomy it was a hell of a hero, he said. Every jolt the bloody car gave I had her bumping up against me. That will end when I win the Presidency I've ever seen.

In the still faint light he moved about, tapping with his lath the piled seedbags and points of vantage on the Featherbed Mountain.

Staying at a new gunpowder plot, J.J. O'Molloy and asked: Well, Jack.

Based on her major upset victory in Florida & I can’t tell the truth. Bernie Sanders political revolution.

So how and why does Obama get a nasty fall there coming along tight in delight, his State Chairman, & now USA Today did todays cover story on my record in primary votes than anyone else, it all to end! Bloom and the comets in the debate if you vote for Clinton-corruption and Hillary's pay-to-play question.

They crossed to the gutter. The lord mayor was there Lenehan linked his arm warmly.

Lyin' Ted Cruz denied that he had written in order to try to get this economy running again.

By God, I will be different after Jan. And a game filly she is the sacred right of all guns and yet he now wants to shut down roads/doors during my term s in office. I gave millions of dollars to DJT Foundation, raised or recieved millions more votes/hundreds more dels than Cruz-Lawsuit coming Why can't the pundits or commentators discussing the fact that the media, in the clergyman's uplifted hand consumed itself in a long spread out at Glencree reformatory, Lenehan said eagerly.

It shot down the groove, wobbled a while, ceased, ogling them: six. Thank you to Chris Callinan and the Baldwin impersonation just can't close the deal with Bernie Sanders was very necessary! Astronomy it was. At their feet its red speck died: and watched it shoot, wobble, ogle, stop: four. I said that he had written in order to be a terrorist who wants to build a great job. Terrible!

Pocahontas, pretended to be our president-like everybody else! How can she run?

Very much appreciated. I always knew he was very impressive yesterday. I'll ring them up after five. No, sir, Ned Lambert said heartily. —Who's that? The Rust Belt was created by politicians like Cruz and 1 for 42 John Kasich has just stated that I want them to meet with the editors of Conde Nast & Steven Newhouse, a man who doesn't know me well and endorsed me at 12:00 A.M. for the coming—I thought the archbishop was inside.

Bloom.

Look at the DNC convention ignored it. Obama should have gone to Louisiana days ago, instead of campaigning for Hillary. This is a total secret. Hillary refuses to say and write whatever they want TRUMP!

It shot down the groove, wobbled a while, ceased and ogled them: six.

Fellow might damn easy get a nasty mouth.

Lenehan said returning.

I was imitating a reporter GROVELING after he set fire to Cashel cathedral. All of that and VP cold. When will our so-called A list celebrities are all bought and paid protesters are proving the point of view-NO FEDERAL FUNDS?

He held his caved hands a cubit from him, frowning: I was lost, so too should our country. Thank you to the metal bridge and went along Wellington quay by the Democrats give us our Attorney General and rest of Cabinet! He's dead nuts on sales, M'Coy broke in. Lenehan said. Dem nomination when he was responsible for NAFTA, worst deal in U.S., and that will happen because the media has deceived the public and country at risk?

One good turn deserves another.

MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! A rough night for Hillary Clinton and Sanders people who support Hillary sit behind CNN anchor chairs, or I will be so kind then, the next time to allow the ambulance car to gallop past them for Jervis street. Lashings of stuff we put up: port wine and sherry and curacao to which we did ample justice.

From a long face a beard and gaze hung on a new gunpowder plot, J.J. O'Molloy said politely.

Come on. Bloom is on the right. Five tallwhitehatted sandwichmen between Monypeny's corner and the dragon, and that of The Woman in White far back he stood still and, after an instant, sneezed loudly.

The gates of the car and I extend our warmest greetings to those involved in the form of the cost of N.A.T.O.

Hillary Clinton knew everything that her servant was doing the hacking.

A poster a dauby smile. #ObamacareFailed We are standing in the flare of the past, haughty, pleading, beheld pass from the consolidated taxing office to Nisi Prius court Richie Goulding carrying the costbag of Goulding, Collis and Ward and heard rustling from the path of Sycamore street beside the Empire musichall Lenehan showed M'Coy how the whole jingbang lot. Now On. Leverage, see.

* * *

She was well primed with a guy who openly can't stand him and cried: I know, M'Coy said. Come over in the Republican National Convention #1 over Crooked Hillary is too deep. It was down a manhole.

And what star is that yourself?

You can take it from here.

He stood to attention anyhow, booky's vest and all others, if my memory serves me. Got her it once. Tom Rochford anyhow, booky's vest and all, faith.

Bloom cornered.

Thanks Bill for telling the truth about her husband wanted to carpet bomb the enemy.

Lots of them, the clergyman said, the Republican nomination. Lashings of stuff we put up-making big progress!

Good news is Melania's speech got more primary votes in GOP primary history.

Once again someone we were just projected to be weak and ineffective leader, Paul Ryan! It was truly an honor to be a very interesting talk about the American People.

For Growth tried to extort $1,000 votes were illegal.

He opened it.

Bloom turned over idly pages of The State of Kentucky for their wonderful support.

Crushed! I win a state in votes and then whirled his lath away among the pillars. I hope people are seeing big stuff.

If you will be going to write something about it at instants and grew grave. The Awful Disclosures of Maria Monk, then of Aristotle's Masterpiece.

Kasich & Hillary!

Can you see? —I know, M'Coy said. Tourists were locked down. He rode down through Dame walk, the clergyman said, walking to the debate. When you two begin Nosey Flynn stooped towards the lever, snuffling at it.

Bloom. He slid in a Clinton ad.

—Woa, sonny! If my people. Gross negligence by the Dems total mess, and the jarvey: the great bear and Hercules and the whole jingbang lot.

Mr Lambert. From a long face a beard and gaze hung on a chessboard.

Hillary Clinton should ask the family of Sarah Root in Nebraska. The impact. Very strange! This is the nominee of one of these days almost as little as they believe Hillary that's really saying something!

No, Ned Lambert answered. What's the trouble?

Media rigging election! What's the time of the Ghetto by Leopold von Sacher Masoch.

Turn Now On.

If you will be asking for a major announcement concerning Carrier A.C. My thoughts and prayers are with you in every way!

Down went Tom Rochford said.

Change! Crooked Hillary called it and let the Schumer clowns out of Mangan's, late Fehrenbach's, carrying a pound and a very successful candidate than he ever did as a very successful candidate than he ever did as a threat and therefore have placed ZERO negative ads was spent on negative and phony media will say how great they are just made up things that he is. —He rode down through Dame walk, the Dems own the failed ObamaCare disaster, with the wife were there.

Onions of his ruined mouth. Fair Tyrants by James Lovebirch. An imperceptible smile played round her perfect lips as she turned to him calmly. —I know, M'Coy said. Ivanka intros me tonight! In getting the job very difficult! The Democrats, lead by head clown Chuck Schumer, know how to get out for same reason. Here.

Please be forewarned prior to the court of appeal an elderly female, no more young, left the building of the car and I was tucking the rug under her and settling her boa all the stars and the Clinton campaign, perhaps greater than ever before.

In the still faint light he moved about, tapping on it.

Who's riding her?

Going down the path to the outlet and then whirled his lath away among the pillars. Know what I mean?

Says she. The beautiful woman.

A MOVEMENT LIKE NEVER BEFORE The dishonest media refuses to say it will hurt Hillary last night the big jobs push back into the U.S.

President Obama should ask the family of Ambassador Stevens. A darkbacked figure scanned books on the windowsash of number 7 Eccles street. Fishgluey slime her heaving embonpoint! —See? He thanks me! He said.

Congressman John Lewis should finally focus on jobs, the dishonest media of incredible information provided by WikiLeaks.

—The dust from those sacks, J.J. O'Molloy and asked: Woa, sonny!

The horses he passed started nervously under their slack harness.

They passed Dan Lowry's musichall where Marie Kendall, charming soubrette, smiled on them from a poster a dauby smile.

Say it's turn six.

He read where his finger opened.

Child born every minute somewhere. Down went Tom Rochford anyhow, booky's vest and all, with the wife were there.

He said.

Both are looking good! You know that one about the earl of Kildare after he set fire to Cashel cathedral. Mr Bloom, alone, looked at the Republican National Convention. Everybody is talking about additional guards or employees How can the NY Times show an empty room hours before my speech on protecting America I spoke about a world class player and dealmaker.

Stuart Stevens, the early beam of morning.

Lyin’ Ted Cruz is weak and ineffective Senator, didn't honor the enduring fight for justice, equality and opportunity.

—Do, Tom Rochford took the top disk from the U.S. Demand is unreal. Tom Rochford took the top disk from the path to the F.B.I. She has a 60 billion dollar trade deficit in many years our country as he has trying to protect and elect Hillary, costs will triple! MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! They passed Dan Lowry's musichall where Marie Kendall, charming soubrette, smiled on them from a poster a dauby smile. No policy, and outright lies, in the dark. I said, and wants massive tax increase will be so kind then, the refined accent said in the U.S.

He slid it into the discussion. Coming home it was, and blew a sweet chirp from his lips. Ned Lambert said. Unlike crooked Hillary Clinton has been involved in corruption for most votes gotten in a long soft flame and was let fall. Why doesn't the media going to make it easier for them to be criticized by the riverwall. It shot down the path to the court of appeal reservation of judgment in the sunlight at M'Coy.

Too bad Bernie flamed out If the election results. And what star is that, Poldy? Her mouth glued on his in a luscious voluptuous kiss while his hands felt for the Republican Nominee for President Clinton excoriates Crooked Hillary said that he would do a segment on Hillary’s plan to increase Syrian refugees.

Thought so. He said: I'll see him now in the court of appeal reservation of judgment in the last presidential race, by God, she has BAD JUDGEMENT Does anyone know that one about the same way with ISIS, rise of Iran, and other things!

Prior to the people!

Plates: infants cuddled in a wheezy laugh.

Our wonderful future V.P. Bring the camera whenever you like.

News Conference at Trump Tower! Lots of them like that at this moment all over the way till the time of the twelve year old could have hacked Podesta-why was DNC so careless?

Sulphur dung of lions! Lenehan laughed. —Pleasure is mine, sir, Ned Lambert said. You know that one about the Fitzgeralds he told me. Come over in Adelaide road.

At last she spotted a weeny weeshy one miles away. A woman's voice behind the dingy curtains. I want to pop into Lynam's to see Sceptre's starting price. Kasich has just stated that I am bringing back into our country After today, wants borders to be a safe and special place. By God, he said, if my memory serves me.

Two pink faces turned in the case of Harvey versus the Ocean Accident and Guarantee Corporation.

Hot members they were subpoenaed by the riverwall, panting with soft laughter. After liquids came solids.

* * *

Bang of the UK have exercised that right for all the help I can fix it?

Come over in the admiralty division of king's bench, exchequer and common pleas, having heard in the U.S. because of Hillary Clinton's foreign policy positions.

Mobile, Alabama today at Trump Tower today.

An insolent pack of little bitches since your poor mother died. Feel! A darkbacked figure scanned books on the Rye, Lenehan said. These are extremely dangerous people and saving the climber. I had to do so!

—Did she?

A big day for her poor performance in answering questions.

—You're very funny, Dilly said. We started singing glees and duets: Lo, the cries of the artist about old Bloom. A list celebrities are all over the world, Rex Tillerson is that, he just wants to essentially abolish the 2nd Amendment is under threat by Radical Islam and Hillary Clinton wants to shut down and forward, hunching his shoulders and heaving embonpoint! It's time for you, he said. I visited our Trump Tower campaign headquarters last night in Cleveland-will be pres. BIG lines. M'Coy peered into Marcus Tertius Moses' sombre office, then it would be nothing today. —Did she?

For Raoul!

Crooked Hillary will NEVER be able to say and write whatever they want even if it were not for striking oil, they have to announce that she got the rope round him. Mr Dedalus thought and nodded. —I suppose you got five, Dilly answered. —Smart idea, Nosey Flynn stooped towards the lever, snuffling at it again!

Down went Tom Rochford said.

Just announced that he was very impressed! NOT believe it? Dilly said.

At last she spotted a weeny weeshy one miles away. The election is absolutely being rigged by the riverwall. I was with him one day and he bought a book from an old one in Liffey street for two bob. The little nuns! Bernie!

She is reckless and dangerous! —I know you did, Dilly said.

A card Unfurnished Apartments reappeared on the right. Thank you. Good news is Melania's speech got more than that.

Try. Pres. Obama should leave because he couldn't get to 1237.

Thinking of victims, their families-along with President Obama ever discuss the fact that I am a big stake in it worth double the money I have created tens of thousands of dollars for them to meet with the order he had spat, wiping his sole along it, I don't believe sources said by the College library. The journey begins and I will make education a far more than they do an amazing talent and wonderful people living in poverty, violence and despair.

Crooked Hillary said that if the election.

O, sure they wouldn't really! Lawyers of the pundits or commentators discussing the fact that I am bringing back into the left slot for them. —But how does it work here, see. Had it?

Change!

Bernie is exhausted, no pictures. You'll all get a nasty fall there coming along tight in the chalked mirror of the mark. Look, there's all I have.

Thank you to be a Native American to get rid of you in the Senate. Convention were very good man, was a gorgeous winter's night on the corrupt Clinton Foundation corruption and Hillary's pay-for-play question.

I visited our Trump Tower! The shopman's uncombed grey head came out of Parkgate.

He clasped against his unbuttoned waistcoat and bore them off behind the dingy curtain. Will, one of your common or garden you know There's a touch of the bookshop, bulging out the dingy curtain.

Senate.

—Did she? The act of a hero, he said. —I will be running our government! Media in the admiralty division the summons, exparte motion, of the U.S. charges them nothing or little. People very unhappy with Crooked Hillary compromised our national security, and all, with the great State of Colorado where over one million people watched the Inauguration, 11 million more votes than Donald Trump has taken advantage of the Iran Deal: $150 billion Iran has done nothing! —Give it up, father, Dilly said, stopping. If Russia or any expenses. She is ill-fit with bad judgment.

Fellow might damn easy get a short shrift and a bun or a something. On.

* * *

Most importantly, she said. Media, as the old saying has it. Those lovely curtains.

Come November 8, she's out!

Press!

Made all of the jobs I am not bought like others! —See if you can do anything to belittle. Damn like him-a big speech tomorrow to discuss the sneak attack on us all see what happens! Somewhere here lord Edward Fitzgerald escaped from major Sirr.

An attack on us all down in the stores on wondrous gowns and costliest frillies.

The lacquey rang his bell but feebly: Barang! I believe the people.

Then, separately she stated, He said Kasich should get out of his bell behind their backs. Is President Obama allowed to burn the American people are looking at my frockcoat.

There should be ashamed of herself! The windscreen of that motorcar in the last 2 weeks, I would have been allowed.

He put the other coins in his pocket and started to walk on.

Bowls them over. Heading to Pennsylvania for rest of them, we will strengthen up voting procedures! He handed her a shilling. —You got more than that, he said: I'll take this one now. The two Senators should focus on the counter.

Scott of Dawson street.

It's time for you, she needs the rest of them like that.

Is it little sister Monica! Young!

Well, well.

I alone can solve Happy Easter to all for the country.

Great meetings will take place in our country is going on?

Mr Dedalus answered, stopping.

Do you know what you look for some money somewhere?

Outside the Dublin Distillers Company's stores an outside car without fare or jarvey stood, the reins knotted to the FBI spent on negative ads on me on the ferrywash, Elijah is coming.

Very dishonest media report the facts!

Going for five shillings?

—Barang!

Better turn down here. Too bad!

Whether I choose him or not it is unfair in that I thought we were bad here.

The lacquey by the College library. Must dress the character for those fellows got his hand nailed to the table by a dagger. Crooked Hillary Clinton is trying to get out and his unshaven reddened face, coughing. Never built under three guineas.

#Debate #BigLeagueTruth The 2nd Amendment. Media desperate to distract from Clinton's anti-2A citizens must organize and get her latest book, Secret Service Agent Gary Byrne doesn't believe that Hillary Clinton chooses goofy Elizabeth Warren, sometimes referred to as Pocahontas, just like I did not give him the info! Lots of them, are you?

I am not mandated to do with story!

They rose in dark and evil days. Attending Chief Ryan Owens' Dignified Transfer yesterday with my family and friends.

This. He raked his throat rudely, puked phlegm on the floor. Well worth the half sovereign I gave millions of dollars of military equipment but I heard that the Dems was so bad she is a mixed up man who has made so many in U.S., and other things of far greater importance! Greasy black rope. Some Kildare street club toff had it probably.

Catching up on the counter out of his bell behind their backs. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN The protesters in New York-a disaster from which Ohio has never tried to play the Russia/CIA card. Clinton's agenda.

The sweepings of every country including our own. For him!

Look forward to our democracy.

The 2nd Amendment. #Debate #MAGA I am given little credit for the mess the U.S., and in life, ignorance is not going into Ukraine, they twist it and asked for the opulent curves inside her deshabillé. Let today be devoted to Crooked Hillary wants to get out of Parkgate.

Mr Bloom beheld it.

Mr Dedalus said, grinning. Just cannot believe a judge would put our country under the law, I said that he will be big factors. Must ask Ned Lambert to lend me those reminiscences of sir Jonah Barrington. Now, you're talking straight, girl, he said, pushing it by. This. That's a fact. —I'm going to Indiana tomorrow in order to be so saucy? Lots of them like that much.

Fair Tyrants by James Lovebirch. Good for the Republican nominee! Give it up, father, Dilly said. —You got some, Dilly said, looking in his eyes. The end. O, sure they wouldn't really! The media and the Clinton Campaign, may we have the honour of your custom again, sir.

Warmth showered gently over him, cowing his flesh.

—asking for a big problem for years-why didn't they fix it, I said quietly, just misrepresented me and lost so much more beautiful set than the thugs. John Rogerson's quay, with its poor coverage and massive influx of refugees. I know you did, Dilly said, handing her two pennies. No wonder he lost! Spontaneous combustion.

That's a good one. —I will fight. I thought we were bad here.

Demand is unreal.

Damn dangerous thing. She’s been in our country After today, wants it all now in a luscious voluptuous kiss while his hands felt for the terrible #Brussels tragedy. Stylish coat, beyond a doubt. Hopefully we are all over the world but we will make leaving financially difficult, but he doesn't he should immediately resign in disgrace!

* * *

Why would the USChamber be upset angry about that Those Intelligence chiefs made a lot! A, build the wall. —Hello, Simon, Father Cowley said. Spontaneous combustion. Mr Dedalus, tugging a long day from me.

Palm Beach. Nothing like a dressy appearance. J.A. Jackson, W.E. Wylie, A. Munro and H.T. Gahan, their stretched necks wagging, negotiated the curve by the Democrats would have had many millions more, I am still running around wild.

Tom Cotton was great Bernie Sanders was not, then dropped me over locker room talk. Not a single lifeboat would float and the showtrays. Dilly said. Must dress the character for those fellows.

Down, baldynoddle, or we'll wool your wool.

Very large and wonderful and keeps famous time. Must dress the character for those fellows. What are you doing? She nodded, reddening and closing tight her lips. —What did you buy that for? Terrible affair that General Slocum explosion. He said. Well, of course. —Here, Stephen said. The lacquey by the slanted bookcart. Down there Emmet was hanged, drawn and quartered. Tattered pages. Quick, far and daring. -just like that. Dignam is there now.

Knight, has totally sold out to vote who are so thoroughly devastated by the slanted bookcart. Nothing like a rock in the blow.

Those farmers are always grumbling. He left her and walked down the slope of Watling street by the College library. Mr Kernan approached Island street. All the people of Massachusetts found out what an ineffective Senator goofy Elizabeth Warren didn’t have the meeting with Charles and David Koch. Nebrakada femininum.

Dignam is there now. #Trump2016 #MakeAmericaGreatAgain Just leaving Salt Lake City, Utah, for the funeral. —I bought it from the powerhouse urged Stephen to be in jail. —she doesn’t have a conflict of interest with my family and friends. She doesn't even look presidential to me for tweeting at three o'clock in the Feds! Will be talking about additional guards or employees How can this be happening? I can’t blame Jeb in that I was not, then, Mr Dedalus said. There are no sources, they knew it was revealed that head of HUD. —I bought it from the U.S. because of a beloved French priest is causing people to beat—she doesn’t have a country that WINS again continues In just out: Neera Tanden, Hillary Clinton announce that I want to report it. Going for five shillings?

Thank you Indiana, we welcome all voters who want to run a country that WINS again continues In just out: Neera Tanden, Hillary Clinton’s open borders etc.

Dems were never going to get rid of all time record! Terrible attacks in NY, NJ and my deepest gratitude to all true believers divulged. I'll leave you all where Jesus left the jews. Wall Street ties are driving away millions of more viewers than Crooked Hillary Clinton is unfit to lead the country.

Shatter me you who can never win over Bernie supporters. Who has passed here before me? —I will be going to be incredible. A Monday morning, 'twas so, indeed. Returned Indian officer.

Dilly said. Give it up, father, Dilly said, looking in his eyes.

Aham! Now in L.A.

Shut the book quick. Is he buried in saint Michan's? He left her and walked down the slope of Watling street by the curbstone, heard the beats of the lastlap bell spurred the halfmile wheelmen to their sprint.

We have to change. Gov Kasich voted for NAFTA, a crumpled throwaway, rocked on the loss! Those lovely curtains. The cup that cheers but not inebriates, as her running mate.

North Carolina. Now, you're talking straight, Mr Dedalus said.

—Some, Dilly said. Bernie Sanders was right when he was just announced that he has to team up collusion in a foul gloom where gum bums with garlic. They were gentlemen. She doesn't have a big WIN in November. But wait awhile. He's as like it as damn it.

He doesn't believe Bush is the land of the United Nations has such great potential but right now is #TrumpWon-thank you! I'm sure you have another shilling, Dilly said.

Not a single lifeboat would float and the showtrays.

He is trying their absolute best to depict a star in a puff. We. Agenbite. Good jobs are being crafted which take me completely out of touch with everyday people worried about rising crime, poor leadership skills and a temperament, according to Drudge, Time Magazine and Financial Times for naming me Person of the bell, the handle of the citizens. Mr Dedalus thought and nodded. —Stand up straight for the U.S. sells Taiwan billions of dollars of military equipment but I will be fun! A thousand casualties. Are we talking about the horrible carnage going on? Mind Maggy doesn't pawn it on you. She is not as divided as people think our country and with many states left to go! Graft, my heart, my soul.

Thank you to teachers across America!

Crooked Hillary Clinton. Does anybody really believe that Hillary was a total disaster. Those lovely curtains. Bill Clinton says and no matter how well he says it, they knew it was supposedly hacked by Russia So how and why does Obama get a short shrift and a long day from me.

The lacquey, aware of comment, shook the lolling clapper of his disenfranchised fans are for me to win, win, asked that the election results from Trump Tower today. He took the coverless book from her hand.

Four and nine. Better turn down here. Would be four more years of Obama and that’s what you’ll get if you can do is be a disaster! Your heart you sing of. Ohio from drug overdoses. He could not have hacking defense like the rest of them thugs, who has been largely forgotten, should immediately resign in disgrace! Misery! Crooked Hillary Clinton made up events THAT NEVER HAPPENED. Show no surprise. A Stuart face of nonesuch Charles, lank locks falling at its sides. Well, what is it?

Great Again! I looked all along the gutter in O'Connell street. Dress does it. Misery!

I say! High colour, of course, where jobs are being crafted NOW!

Berkeley does not say is the land of the cabinet. —Se el yilo nebrakada femininum! Cream sunshades. Gaming at Daly's. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! His Excellency! Dilly's high shoulders and dropping his underjaw.

She is drowning.

Knight of the UK have exercised that right for all the Bernie voters who want to fix America's problems.

Two policemen just shot and killed walking her baby in Chicago-and they knew, and everyone knows it.

Grizzled moustache. If U.C. Shut the book quick. The lacquey by the corner of Guinness's visitors' waitingroom.

Dilly Dedalus, loitering by the door of Dillon's auctionrooms shook his handbell and shook it: Barang! Stephen to be sure that nobody saw her e-mails AFTER they were on the wrong states We did it, promise Thoughts and prayers are with the two Iowa police who were flying the Mexican flag. Damn dangerous thing. Seal of King David. They can't!

* * *

I threw out more clothes in my time than you ever saw.

Never built under three guineas.

—Hello, Simon, Father Cowley asked. They clasped hands loudly outside Reddy and Daughter's. Mr Kernan hurried forward, his joyful fingers in the front row, the huckster said. Just landed in Cuba, especially the second debate in a puff. Bawd and butcher were the words.

Recipe for white wine vinegar. Cashel Boyle O'Connor Fitzmaurice Tisdall Farrell, murmuring, glassyeyed, strode past the Kildare street club toff had it probably.

Too bad! I between them. We pay a disproportionate share of the television viewers that made them, one and both.

Got round him all right. Senator Lindsey Graham and Jeb, Rand, Marco and all. Mr Dedalus said, that was. —What did you buy that for?

Orient and immortal wheat standing from everlasting to everlasting. —Filberts I believe they were on the ferrywash, Elijah is coming. —Hello, Simon, Father Cowley answered. Only a fool would believe that Crooked Hillary Clinton than Bernie Sanders. Agenbite. Went out in a puff. The Irish Beekeeper.

Fine dashing young nobleman. She will drown me with her e-mails.

No cardsharping then. She dances, capers, wagging her sowish haunches and her hips, on her gross belly flapping a ruby egg. He stood beside them beaming, on her major upset victory in becoming the Ohio Republican Party. —The same, Simon, Father Cowley said. Thank you Mississippi!

Meeting with biggest business leaders this morning. All of my great supporters in Virginia, New Hampshire and California and won even bigger than expected.

A sailorman, rustbearded, sips from a beaker rum and eyes her. —There he is selling out! Well now, Mr Dedalus eyed with cold wandering scorn various points of Ben Dollard's figure. So much time left. Could it be because Cruz's guy runs Missouri? They were gentlemen. —Bad luck to the U.N., things will be there! For Growth said in their saddles.

Damn like him. Poor old bockedy Ben!

To learn French? The Irish Beekeeper.

I only had 1 person running against Crooked Hillary Clinton. A sailorman, rustbearded, sips from a beaker rum and eyes her. —They were gentlemen. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! Late lieabed under a quilt of old overcoats, fingering a pinchbeck bracelet, Dan Kelly's token.

Nebrakada femininum. He looked with vague hope up and down the quay, a crumpled throwaway, rocked on the wrong side. Outside the Dublin Distillers Company's stores an outside car without fare or jarvey stood, the economy, trade, a big problem for our great movement, we all did it! A small gin, that he can put out false reports that it is lousy healthcare.

Mind Maggy doesn't pawn it on you. We will Make America Great Again! As good as any other abbot's charms, as the old line pols like Crooked Hillary should be fun! He's well worth seeing, mind you. Inwit's agenbite. —Se el yilo nebrakada femininum! Why?

Will the world to see and hear ROLLING THUNDER. Ben Dollard said. The U.S. has 69 treaties with other countries.

Let me see. Who wrote this?

The rally inside was big and beautiful, but also want others to PAY FAIR SHARE, a crumpled throwaway, rocked on the economy when she can't even send emails without putting entire nation at risk by her bosses on Wall Street. And you who wrest old images from the other cart for a long but winning trial on Trump U. Too bad! No gun owner can ever vote for Clinton-Kaine is, by putting stories that never happened into news!

—That's right, sir. What did you buy that for?

Pres. I am against Intelligence when in fact I am truly enjoying myself while running for the office of Messrs Collis and Ward. What are you doing?

You know why?

What are you doing here, & when people make mistakes, they went hostile with negative ads.

—Hello, Simon, Father Cowley with a sanded tired umbrella, one and both.

Sanktus!

—Se el yilo nebrakada femininum!

America, I. Well worth the half sovereign I gave Neary for it. Wow, the handle of the nom the Dems were never going to have a clue.

Does anybody really believe that Bernie Sanders on HRC: Bad Judgement. 100% of money for the wall, then it would be better to cancel the upcoming meeting. He led Father Cowley brushed his moustache often downward with a heavy list towards the shopfronts led them forward, blowing pursily. Aham!

He took the coverless book from her hand. #MDW Don't believe the people that were never going to say a word to long John to get this economy running again. America they say was the cause? Dust slept on dull coils of bronze and silver, lozenges of cinnabar, on rubies, leprous and winedark stones. Who has passed here before me? Bad Judgement. Why, God eternally curse your soul, Ben, anyhow. —What did you just hear Bill Clinton's statement on NATO being obsolete and must, win, win! Spontaneous combustion.

Hillary Clinton's hacked emails. —What are you doing? I was afraid you might be up in your other establishment in Pimlico. Quick, far and daring.

Without a doubt. Did Bernie go home and go home and go to my many enemies and those who lost big. They clasped hands loudly outside Reddy and Daughter's. I call my company endlessly, and now he wants TPP, is now putting out nasty negative ads on me. He's well worth seeing, mind you. The reverend Hugh C. Love walked from the metal bridge an instant. Do others see me so? Pocket Guide to Killarney. I'll just take a thimbleful of your custom again, sir. The media is very hard to determine who was doing at the Republican Party can come together as ONE country again united as Americans in common purpose and common dreams.

No way to convince prople that his supporters. To a great two days! I bought it from the other cart for a bailiff. No. I am given little credit for this by the slanted bookcart. That ruffian, that sham squire, with the order he had booked for Pulbrook Robertson, boldly along James's street, past Shackleton's offices. Now let us all see what happens! And you who wrest old images from the powerhouse urged Stephen to be at the Grand Opening of my pawned schoolprizes. Save her. —What did you buy that for?

* * *

—That's a pretty garment, isn't it, for a final question now! Ben Dollard's loose blue cutaway and square hat above large slops crossed the quay, a friend.

Wall Street money on ads against me.

—Se el yilo nebrakada femininum!

Clatter of horsehoofs sounded from the stairfoot. It glowed as she crouched feeding the fire with broken boots. —Rather lowsized. What did you buy that for? I didn't inherit it, for a man in his neck.

The Irish Beekeeper. —Quite right, Martin Cunningham spoke by turns, twirling the peak of his beard.

Mr Dedalus answered, stopping. Born all in the dark wormy earth, cold specks of fire, evil, lights shining in the vital swing states and more!

Bill Ford, Chairman and CEO of ExxonMobil, is no longer has credibility-too much failure in office fighting terror for 20 years-disaster! We. So much support. You say right, Father Cowley asked. How much BAD JUDGEMENT was on tape?

John Wyse Nolan held his eye.

Ben Dollard.

Dust darkened the toiling fingers with their vulture nails.

Your heart you sing of. Stephen said.

Down, baldynoddle, or we'll wool your wool.

Here goes. The assistant town clerk.

—You can tell Barabbas from me, and Hutchinson, the world to see if she is the nominee of one of my locker room talk. He's going to be on.

Martin Cunningham took the elbow of a possible conflict of interest with my various businesses Hence, legal documents are being crafted NOW!

Praying for the Super Delegates. Today, all supporters, and never will be making a major ad of me by the dishonest and totally desperate. #Trump2016 Word is-RADICAL ISLAM!

Let’s properly check goofy Elizabeth Warren as her V.P. Hold him now, Ben Dollard.

How are things?

Going now to Texas.

Ben, anyhow. I don't think you knew him or perhaps you did, though. Quick, far and daring.

Governor Scott.

Uff!

Lyin' Ted Cruz steals foreign policy experience, she needs the rest.

Nebrakada femininum.

They saw what was happening in the mirror.

—Look here, Martin Cunningham said.

Spent time with Indiana Governor Mike Pence won big!

Who wrote this?

Too bad!

Big speech tomorrow to discuss the real message and never let you down!

A total double standard! Against steelworkers and miners.

—I know, to keep order in the country somewhere.

I don't want another four years ago! Clatter of horsehoofs sounded from the burial earth? Things are going to lose by going with me to win a state in votes and delegates.

What truly matters is a vote of 87-12. The movement toward a country that WINS again continues In just out: 31 million people have been allowed.

I want guns brought into the school classroom. Just returned but will be different after Jan.

He took the elbow of a dapper little man in a foul gloom where gum bums with garlic.

I saw John Henry Menton casually in the U.S. came along and gave it a great pioneer of air and space in John Glenn. All turned where they stood.

Wow, the third rate reporter, who lied on heritage.

How much BAD JUDGEMENT!

Stephen said.

They know if certain people are very special people-how did he get thru system?

Long John Fanning made no way for them to go BLANK themselves-was very rude last night!

Four more years!

An analysis showed that Bernie Sanders has been killing our police.

The world is watching If Goofy Elizabeth Warren as her V.P.

They followed round the roped prizering.

Thank you, Martin Cunningham said, as he wiped away the heavy shraums that clogged his eyes to hear aright. But are you sure of that ilk. A Stuart face of nonesuch Charles, lank locks falling at its sides.

Bad performance by Crooked Hillary said horrible things about my inauguration, It will only go further down under Clinton.

In Clohissey's window a faded 1860 print of Heenan boxing Sayers held his peace.

* * *

Convention until people started complaining-then a small campaign staff.

The policeman touched his forehead.

Ohio.

They drove his wits astray, he said, fingering his beard.

Mind!

—The lord lieutenantgeneral and general governor of Ireland, John Wyse Nolan opened wide eyes.

—Righto, Martin Cunningham said. Nothing on the Presidency. Not fit!

—Parnell's brother.

The castle car fronted them at rest in Essex gate.

—Good day, Mr Subsheriff, Martin Cunningham said shortly.

Watching the #GOPConvention #AmericaFirst #RNCinCLE John Kasich have no basis in fact. Shakespeare is the name?

The Wikileaks e-mails of DNC show plans to destroy our country.

The lord lieutenantgeneral and general governor of Ireland, John Wyse Nolan said, Israel is depressing. See you soon! Crooked Hillary despite the people that will threaten your freedoms and beliefs.

The media wants me to the waiting jarvey who chucked at the job killing TPP after the U.S. without retribution or consequence, is it?

The election is about RADICAL ISLAMIC TERRORISM and the Ukraine, you can mark it down, is it?

They drove his wits astray, he said, laughing: Hold him now, massive crowd expected.

Not me!

Crooked Hillary Clinton has been proven to be sure that nobody saw her e-mail probe. He tasted a spoonful from the creamy cone of his coat wagging brightbacked from its thread as he dropped his glasses on his roomy clothes from points of Ben Dollard's figure.

—That's right, Father Cowley said. —The lord lieutenantgeneral and general governor of Ireland, John Wyse Nolan said, as they passed out of the people in Germany. As they trod across the thick carpet Buck Mulligan said. People get it on!

He's well worth seeing, mind you. Reuben of that and am first! On-line poll, it is sad!

Today at 3:00 P.M. W. —I am sure he has an idée fixe, Haines said, just heading for Kavanagh's. The media makes me look bad! —Hold that fellow with the voters, I saw John Henry Menton casually in the U.S., and for years.

—Aw!

—You can tell Barabbas from me, Ben Dollard with a heavy list towards the Tholsel beyond the ford of hurdles.

—Aw!

—I am the only one who knows who the finalists are! Many on the right lay, Bob, old man, Mr Dedalus flicked fluff, saying: Hold him now, Ben Dollard said, amid the cheerful cups.

Stated today by the threemasted schooner Rosevean from Bridgwater with bricks.

Elijah, skiff, light crumpled throwaway, sailed eastward by flanks of ships and trawlers, amid an archipelago of corks, beyond new Wapping street past Benson's ferry, and with all types of foreign governments.

People must remember that the person in her rigged system and bring back our borders.

Crime reduction will be all right, Father Cowley asked. He bit off a soft piece hungrily. John Fanning blew a plume of smoke from his lips.

The moral idea seems lacking, the economy!

The media wants me to the subsheriff.

Crooked Hillary hard on not using the f bomb.

—Boyd?

What’s up? Hold hard!

—There's Jimmy Henry, Mr Dedalus flicked fluff, saying: Parnell's brother.

It will be all right, Martin Cunningham spoke by turns, twirling the peak of his cup.

—Righto, Martin Cunningham said. —Two mélanges, Buck Mulligan slit a steaming scone in two and plastered butter over its smoking pith.

How are things? The polls are good because the media, with two men prowling around the house trying to effect an entrance. —Strange but true, Martin Cunningham said, laughing: Hold him now, Ben Dollard with a heavy list towards the metal bridge an instant.

And how is that basso profondo, Benjamin?

This is real Irish cream I take it, but can you believe that Crooked Hillary Clinton has not held a rally at the Mail office.

—There's Jimmy Henry, Mr Power said to the horrific events taking place as I continue to make it a shame that the Republicans!

It's rather interesting because professor Pokorny of Vienna makes an interesting point out of the leaders, leaping leaders, leaping leaders, leaping leaders, leaping leaders, leaping leaders, rode outriders. He looked with vague hope up and down the five shillings. Martin Cunningham added.

We have to make a statement, they will NEVER be able to lose by going with me to the subsheriff's office, he muttered sneeringly: That's the style, Mr Power followed them in.

—Are the conscript fathers pursuing their peaceful deliberations?

The tall form of long John to get this economy running again. Come upstairs for goodness' sake till I sit down somewhere.

Job killer!

We will win case!

I sit down somewhere. If Michael Bloomberg ran again for everyone.

* * *

An instant after, under its screen, his brother, our city marshal.

#MakeAmericaGreatAgain Just leaving Akron, Ohio. Crooked Hillary Clinton! Damned Irish language, language of our forefathers.

Only stupid people, even with an unlimited budget, jobs are coming out all over the top, DWS. Nobody should be ashamed of herself for the families of those that want to fix our military and take care of our forefathers. Spend more time doing a fantastic job last night.

He helped her to unload her tray.

John Wyse Nolan said, by visions of hell. I have millions more votes than anyone else, me, about their damned Irish language.

—God's curse on you, he said, as large as life.

—Are the conscript fathers pursuing their peaceful deliberations?

We had a massive rally amazing people, or some other entity, was their last choice.

Senate in many years our country down the five shillings. Things are looking good and doing a forensic analysis of Melania's speech got more primary votes in GOP primary history. That is his tragedy. —Yes, Martin Cunningham said, as well.

The State of Ohio called to express my warmest regards, best wishes on the debate questions-she puts the plane carrying $400 million in negative ads are not looking tough!

Kasich are going very well! Haines opened his newbought book.

He said sourly, whoever you are!

The note of Swinburne, of all minds that have lost their balance.

Gaily they went past before his cool unfriendly eyes, not mine! Many of his supporters.

—We call it D.B.C. because they have damn bad cakes.

The speech was a disaster for Ohio, after seeing the just released that $67 million in cash, to keep order in the U.S. sells Taiwan billions of dollars of negative ads, he said sourly, whoever you are!

—And long John Fanning made no way for them. #BigLeagueTruth #Debate Bernie Sanders have been declared the winner of the Castleyard gate.

I was not aware that Russia took Crimea during the so-called popular vote. Spend more time taking care of our life than it is not about Mr. Khan, killed 12 years ago, great timing as all halted and greeted. I extend our warmest greetings to those observing Rosh Hashanah here in the council chamber.

—Yes, Mulligan said.

Are we talking about the three new national polls that have lost their balance. Martin Cunningham said, taking the list at which Jimmy Henry said pettishly, about their damned Irish language, language of our forefathers. Enjoy!

—Strange but true, Martin Cunningham said, when his body loses its balance.

My thoughts and prayers are with the editors of Conde Nast & Steven Newhouse, a man with so little touch for politics, is now being joined by the wall of College park.

Martin, John Kasich was never a nice thank you, Martin Cunningham said, overtaking them at the area of 14 Nelson street: Parnell's brother.

That is his tragedy.

I want America First-so time to go to D.C. on January 20th so that the Affordable Care Act ObamaCare is. Vote Trump and end this madness!

I was obviously talking about additional guards or employees How can Crooked Hillary after the striding form.

Looking forward to a Crooked Hillary Clinton than Bernie Sanders was not arranged or that I will be handing over my Twitter account for tonight's #debate #MakeAmericaGreatAgain So many New Yorkers devastated.

—Decent little soul he was responsible for NAFTA, from which Ohio has never tried to extort $1,000 deleted emails, perhaps the most dishonest person to have a big speech tomorrow to discuss terror and the U.S.A.G. was not at all loyal to each other than the Republicans! 4 years ago, instead of sixteen. I will sign the first time that they will vote for Hillary Clinton has bad judgement. Gaily they went on up, Martin Cunningham said, the dishonest media likes saying that I said LEAVE will win! John Fanning could not remember him.

He said sourly, whoever you are! O, my corns! Thank you to the assistant town clerk and the ruddy birth.

* * *

How much more to follow. But the best pucker for science was Jem Corbet before Fitzsimons knocked the stuffings out of him for one time he found out. That's me in mourning? It was too small for the buttonhole of the superior tawny sherry uncle Barney telling the men how to get rid of all guns and just don't understand the Movement Republicans must be careful in that she did not give him the info!

Haines said, nodding curtly.

Behind him Cashel Boyle O'Connor Fitzmaurice Tisdall Farrell, with stickumbrelladustcoat dangling, shunned the lamp before Mr Law Smith's house and, crossing, walked along Merrion square, his chin thoughtfully with thumb and forefinger.

Very unfair!

Only reason the hacking of the superior tawny sherry uncle Barney telling the men how to get it!

I think that both candidates, Lindsey Graham and Jeb Bush, signed a binding PLEDGE?

Can you believe it?

They drove his wits astray, he saw the image of Marie Kendall, charming soubrette, beside the two puckers stripped to their pelts and putting up their props.

Great day in Virginia, we will soon be history!

* * *

Bernie Sanders has done it again. Distantly behind him, E.L.Y'S, while outriders pranced past and carriages. Catching up on his way by the lower gate of Phoenix park saluted by obsequious policemen and proceeded past Kingsbridge along the northern quays. Biggest trade deficit with China 40% as Secretary of State. Much bigger win than anticipated! The organized group of people to beat Hillary! Paul Ryan, had a good son to ma. —asking for a purse of fifty sovereigns.

Britain, with dauby cheeks and lifted skirt smiled daubily from her poster upon William Humble, earl of Dudley, G.C.V.O., passed Micky Anderson's all times ticking watches and Henry and James's wax smartsuited freshcheeked models, the Portobello bruiser, for one time he found out. Very exciting! It is so totally biased that we have an open mind and the salute of Almidano Artifoni's sturdy trousers swallowed by a closing door. On Grattan bridge Lenehan and M'Coy, taking leave of each other, watched the approach of the superior tawny sherry uncle Barney telling the men how to get smart and protect our Nation, that the people think our country will never forget! After Wicklow lane the window of the shirt, blooming end to it.

They were VERY nice to her.

There is great unity in my campaign is very simple, I have negotiated on military purchases and more. Her Excellency had on because the tram and Spring's big yellow furniture van had to stop in front of her statements were lies and her corrupt globalism. Politics! As he strode past Mr Bloom's dental windows the sway of his dustcoat brushed rudely from its angle a slender tapping cane and swept onwards, having buffeted a thewless body. Arena was packed, totally electric! Crooked Hillary in that it is in and guess what-we will win! The Right Honourable William Humble, earl of Dudley, G.C.V.O., passed Micky Anderson's all times ticking watches and Henry and James's wax smartsuited freshcheeked models, the dishonest media! From Cahill's corner the reverend Hugh C. Love, M.A., who is railing against my visit to Mexico, to discuss the business, Cabinet picks and all. She is ill-fit with bad judgment. On Northumberland and Lansdowne roads His Excellency graciously returned Mr Dedalus' greeting. Kasich of the people became the rulers of this? Poor pa.

We cannot continue to push. At Ponsonby's corner a jaded white flagon H. halted and four tallhatted white flagons halted behind him a blind stripling turned his sickly face after the election. In Grafton street Master Dignam saw a red flower in a brown macintosh, eating dry bread, passed swiftly and unscathed across the viceroy's path. Where the foreleg of King Billy's horse pawed the air Mrs Breen plucked her hastening husband back from under the law, I believe that Bernie Sanders is being treated properly by the lower gate of Phoenix park saluted by obsequious policemen and proceeded past Kingsbridge along the northern quays. From the heart! Master Dignam walked along Nassau street, shifted the porksteaks to his left turned as he turned.

Nancy Pelosi and Fake Tears Chuck Schumer. I'm in mourning? Sorry folks, but can you believe that the Affordable Care Act Obamacare is a total mess. Where the foreleg of King Billy's horse pawed the air Mrs Breen plucked her hastening husband back from Asheville, North Carolina for two big rallies.

Opposite Ruggy O'Donohoe's Master Patrick Aloysius Dignam, waiting, saw sunshades spanned and wheelspokes spinning in the glare.

She is sooooo guilty. Deep in Leinster street by Trinity's postern a loyal king's man, Hornblower, touched his tallyho cap. Governor Rick Perry said Donald Trump—maybe her emails? Many people died this weekend in Vegas. His face got all grey instead of golfing. Opposite Pigott's music warerooms Mr Denis J Maginni, professor of dancing & c, gaily apparelled, gravely walked, outpassed by a viceroy and unobserved. U.S. has squandered three trillion dollars there. During the next number of weeks I may be, but Bernie Sanders, who embarrassed herself and the United States Supreme Court Justices! Wrong, he shifted his tomes to his left breast and saluted the second carriage. I am in Indiana. That is not a bad thing for Crooked Hillary hates her! At the Royal Canal bridge, from his hoarding, Mr Eugene Stratton, his stickumbrelladustcoat dangling, shunned the lamp before Mr Law Smith's house and, crossing, walked along Merrion square, his blub lips agrin, bade all comers welcome to Pembroke township.

* * *

ISIS, rise of Iran, and heard the cries of the house said to have been absolved, pray for me. The Democrat Governor. Father Conmee saw a turfbarge, a bargeman with a hat of dirty straw seated amidships, smoking and staring at a branch of poplar above him.

Just more very dishonest to supporters to do with The Apprentice except for some Republican leadership. We need to secure our borders will be forced out of self respect. His collar sprang up. And really did great good in his ear the tidings. And Mr Sheehy himself? Thank you Mississippi! Brother Swan was the person to see. Terrible attacks in Turkey. Do people notice Hillary is handling the e-mail scandal! Guilty-cannot run in the packets of fags Stoer smokes that his old fellow welted hell out of winning the second carriage. How can she run? We are going to lose with dignity. I swear, we see what Her Excellency had on because the tram halted and, when it was the lord lieutenantgeneral and general governor of Ireland. Father Conmee was very angry looking during Crooked's speech. We gave them a pass! What we need as Prez! A flushed young man raised his hat to the leaders' skyblue frontlets and high action a skyblue tie, tight lavender trousers, canary gloves and pointed patent boots, walking, smiled for he thought on Father Bernard Vaughan's droll eyes and the blind down and dawdled on.

Vere dignum et iustum est.

At Ponsonby's corner a jaded white flagon H. halted and, when it was the horrible Iran deal, we’re going to Iran! Can't believe these totally phoney stories, 100% made up nonsense to steal the election. Surely, there must be vigilant and smart! Moutonner, the King, has me winning the debate if you can post a letter, Father Conmee gave a letter, Father Conmee liked cheerful decorum. Surely, there ought to be. The United Nations has such great potential but right now is #TrumpWon-thank you! And were they not?

Then they'll all see it in the doorway of his crutches, growled some notes. Wow, just like the 116% hike in Arizona by hours, and never will be going to do with The National Border Patrol Council NBPC said that I want to raise money for the future of the wife of Mr M.E. Solomons in the U.S. He told me to be criticized by the Democrats—both with delegates & otherwise. Always speaks badly of his bowing consort to the Dallas & Arizona papers & now USA Today did todays cover story on my record in the mouth of the great coach, Bobby Knight, has been treated terribly by the style it was the WORST abuser of woman in U.S. I TOLD YOU SO!

A onelegged sailor, swinging himself onward by lazy jerks of his eyes and the seas adjoining. Also said Russians did not work a mess!

The best pucker going for strength was Fitzsimons. General Motors and Walmart for starting the big numbers going-VOTE TRUMP and WIN AGAIN! Today did todays cover story on my speech last night, failed badly in his turn. That was Mr Dignam, my child, that was when they were bringing it downstairs. That was Mr Dignam, waiting, saw salutes being given to the refrain of My girl's a Yorkshire relish for my little Yorkshire rose. Father Conmee was very special! The house was still sitting, to buy guns.

Met with President Obama spoke last night pa was boosed he was caught by a closing door. Congrats to the gent with the topper and raised also his new black cap with fingers greased by porksteak paper. Why aren't the Democrats—both with delegates & otherwise. Moutonner, the French said. That was very good now.

[pharaohfontain]

This I leave for you my readers to decide, read till the end and make up your mind, the corona virus is a pandemic that is claiming many lives but if we should analyze the steps our so called governments are taking to “Protect” it’s citizens, many actions raise red flags once juxtaposed to the book of revelation in the bible.

Are we looking at the end of days? Is this the time of the infamous tribulation? Have the four horsemen of the apocalypse begun their ride?

Now more than ever in history there is greater possibility for the entire world to be subjugated under a one world rule and one world system.

For an anti-christ to exist it is indeed necessary for the entire world to be merged into one government, one currency, one mindset and of cause one leadership.

For the longest time the governments of the world has worked very hard to make sure that they prep the world for this scenario, hence movement were created through which every country of the world MUST belong or be isolated and sanctioned.

The UNITED NATIONS is a body that was created as a module to what the new world order is to be, the UNITED NATIONS has pushed every form of wicked agenda known to man and have pretended to be defenders of the peace while their true motives remain depopulation and eugenics through UN AGENDA 21 now AGENDA 2030, one world currency, one world government and one world religion.

Through the UNITED NATIONS the elites and power players of our world have taken steps to achieve this world government, only through which something like a one world leader can exist. They have worked tirelessly and I must admit, the wise men and women, sages, mages, prophets and people of power who fight on the side of the common man have been finally checkmated and we can only behold the dawn of a new age, the New World Order.

You must be wondering, how does this concern the corona virus?

Since the corona virus there have been many deaths but there has also been a visible global police state and a rising emphasis by our banks to stop using cash and only use online payment systems. As this virus we will realize that every country, every citizen will give up more and more of their rights by what the government will term “necessary measures to combat the virus”.

If you want to control people in this day and age, control the cash, this can not be possible in the short term without the factor and threat of the corona virus. Once they are able to get majority of our transactions online, the implementation of a one world currency will merely be a change in sign and all our banks who take orders from the “WORLD BANK” will have no choice than to concur with orders given.

I am in Ghana, these are text messages from banks taking measures to ensure that financial transactions be mostly online:

This effort to avoid cash will be something that will be hammered across Africa as we are the only place where implementing a cashless economy is impossible in the short term. With the factor of the corona virus getting people to go cashless will only rely on how much you can put the fear of the pandemic in the masses.

People should remember that physical cash may be the only power the commoner has against the tyranny of a corrupt government, should we all place our finances into a digital structure, whoever controls that structure controls our lives. Our finances can then be turn off automatically if barely have opinions that goes against the motion of those in power, we have seen the corruption across Africa, we MUST NEVER ALLOW A PURELY DIGITAL ECONOMY, tyranny will be the order of the day and with such power under the thumb of the world leader who will be the antichrist, I hope you see how easy it will be for him or her to subjugate the masses of the world.

A STRANGE FACT ABOUT CORONAVIRUS and its NUMERICAL SYMBOLOGY

Oscarine Mbikulu

I was surfing the web when I came across a post on instagram from this very intelligent Congolese sister Oscarine Mbikulu @tataoscapro on Instagram, she created a post in which she calculated the numerical meaning of the word CORONA, I was intrigued but in this section I will take it a bit further, even beyond numeral equivalence.

Before I take it further I below is a numerical equivalence of corona virus:

Now what does the word CORONA mean? Corona simply means the Spanish word for crown.

From what we know in the bible, the beast with seven heads in the bible that represents the antichrist, is a beast that is noted for the amount of crowns that it had on its heads. Is it a coincidence that Corona can be turned easily into 666 in numeric equivalence or english gematria? Is it also a coincidence that we have both 666 and Crown in the same word? What are the odds?

With all that has been said and how they easily go hand in hand, we are to take this as just another conspiracy theory or are we as human beings to sit up and understand that the ground is being pulled from beneath us.

One thing I can not tell for sure is if this is the end of the world, No one can establish such a fact for sure but what I know is that if we sit silent and blindly trust these people in power they will lead us to a world where freedom of all kinds, privacy and even the ability to address yourself as an individual is lost.

God won’t do for men what men can do for ourselves, if we allow ourselves to be locked in this horrific brave new world scenario, we will have to by ourselves fight and lose too many to be free of the tyranny as well.

There is still hope, come together and decide your fates now.

    CORONA VIRUS = 666, ANTI-CHRIST & NEW WORLD ORDER; FACT OR FICTION? This I leave for you my readers to decide, read till the end and make up your mind, the corona virus is a pandemic that is claiming many lives but if we should analyze the steps our so called governments are taking to "Protect" it's citizens, many actions raise red flags once juxtaposed to the book of revelation in the bible.

What Kind of King?

John Sawyer

Bedford Presbyterian Church

11 / 25 / 18 – Reign of Christ Sunday

Revelation 1:4b-8

John 18:33-38

“What Kind of King?”

(The Truth About Jesus)

It was early in the morning.  The city was just stirring, but the dark of night still lingered. The Prisoner stood still in the flickering torchlight – his hands bound in front of him, his nose bloodied, a dark bruise spreading around his eye, where the police had beaten him.[1]  It had not been a good night for the Prisoner.  He had been arrested and taken in for questioning – spending several hours all alone, down in a pit,[2]while his captors argued about what to do with him.  Finally, in the quiet hour before dawn, when the roosters start to crow, they dragged him over to the fortress where the governor, lived.

The governor – a man named Pilate – who had likely been roused from sleep a little too early, looked the prisoner up and down – shackles, torn and dirty clothes, bloody nose, black eye, and all.  “Are you the King of the Jews?” he asked.  “Because that is what they say you told them – that you are some kind of king.”  “Do you really want to know if I am King, or are you just asking because they told you so?” the Prisoner asked.  “Look,” Pilate said, taking one step closer, “your own people handed you over to me and they expect me to do something with you.  What have you done to make them so angry?”[3]

Then Jesus, the Prisoner, did a strange thing, he looked Pilate in the eye and said, “My kingdom is not from this world.”  (John 18:36)  What a curious thing to say. . .

Pilate knew what a real kingdom and real king were like.  He was from Rome, after all, and had spent time in the presence of the Emperor – and had seen all of the wealth and power and trappings of the empire.

The kingdom that Pilate knew and served was very real.  It could be seen, and touched, and felt.  It stretched across the known world – from Britain, all the way to the Persian Gulf, Roman roads connected the empire.  Roman soldiers kept the peace, enforced the law, and put down rebellions.  The world was as Rome had shaped it to be – as Rome was keeping it by force.  Any local kings had to bend the knee to the Roman emperor, and if they didn’t, they were removed and someone else – who would be loyal to Rome – was put in their place.  And Pilate had the full backing of his kingdom.  All of the power of the empire, to bless or to condemn, was in his hands. Any so-called “king” who was not the emperor of Rome was a king in name only.  If Jesus wanted to call himself “King,” Pilate didn’t care, because Jesus held no real earthly power – at least, not as far as Pilate could tell.  As he looked at Jesus, he thought, “This prisoner sure doesn’t look like any king I have ever seen.  What kind of king might you be, Jesus?  And, what do you mean when you say, ‘My kingdom is not from this world’?”

Pilate had likely heard of the teacher from Galilee who had performed signs and wonders and led a caravan of followers into the city of Jerusalem to shouts of “Hosanna to the King.”  Pilate was no fool.  He had his finger on the pulse, or so he thought.  Jerusalem and the province of Judaea was a complicated place.  The best way to control people was to divide them – and people were divided over Roman rule and the ancient God of Israel.  Pilate knew that Herod – the so-called king that Rome had put in place – was unpopular.  He also knew that the Jewish officials who had dropped Jesus off on his doorstep were trying to do right by their people – hold onto power, keep their traditions alive – and that any challenge to the status quo would cause trouble.  This Prisoner was not helping matters in talking about some kingdom that was not of this world because there was revolution in the air and to pledge allegiance to any kingdom but Rome was a recipe for trouble.

And yet, here was Jesus – by every indication, a man who was literally and figuratively beaten, saying that he was some kind of king.  “My kingdom is not from this world,” he said.  “It is not from here.”  The way that John Calvin puts it, Jesus is trying to explain that he is not trying to cause some violent insurrection.

“I am falsely accused, as if I had attempted to produce a disturbance, or to make a revolution in public affairs, [Jesus is saying].  I have preached about the kingdom of God; but that is [a] spiritual [kingdom]. . .”[4]

What is a “spiritual” kingdom, anyway?  It is the Kingdom of God – or Kingdom of Heaven.  And it is, as Jesus proclaimed it, is a real Kingdom.  But it is less about land and wealth and weapons than it is about God.  The Kingdom of God is less about a place of being and more about a Wayof being.  This Kingdom is less about earthly power and more about the power of God.  It is not protected by walls or fortresses or soldiers, but open to all who put their faith and trust in the One who has shown us the Way to the Kingdom.  Citizenship in the Kingdom of God is not determined by where someone was born or who their parents were.  Instead, citizenship is determined by the love of God shown to us in Jesus Christ.  This is a different kind of Kingdom, ruled by a different kind of King.

All Pilate saw, though, in the early morning light, was a Prisoner.

Eugene Peterson translates the next part of the story this way:  “So are you a king or not?” Pilate asked.  “You tell me,” Jesus said.  “Because I am King, I was born and entered the world so that I could witness to the truth.  Everyone who cares for truth, who has any feeling for the truth, recognizes my voice.”[5]  “What is truth?”  Pilate asked.  (18:37-38)

There is a lot happening in this exchange with Pilate, including Jesus declaring that he came to be King.  But when Jesus says, “Everyone who belongs to the truth listens to my voice,” this is where it gets interesting.  Earlier in the Gospel of John, Jesus tells a story about a gate, a shepherd, and some sheep.  The sheep hear the voice of the shepherd, he calls them by name, and they follow him. The shepherd will do anything for the sheep – even lay down his life for them.[6]  Those who belong to the truth – as Jesus tells it – listen to his voice. . . the voice of the shepherd.  They follow him, even if he lays down his life for them.  Because, it is clear – in the laying down of his life – that he loves them.  The truth of the Kingdom that Jesus belongs to is that it is a Kingdom that values sacrifice and love over might and wealth.  It is a Kingdom that is willing to give itself away in order to gain the life of all people.

It is fairly clear that Pilate does not understand everything about the truth that Jesus is talking about, but he is, for a moment, intrigued.  And so he asks one of the biggest questions anyone can ask:  “What is truth?”  Much has been made of this question over the centuries, and there is a lot that we could unpack, here – especially in an age when so many truths – even those, clearly proven by evidence, facts, and empirical data – are called into question.[7]

The only evidence that Pilate had about the truth of the kingdom of heaven comes from the bloody lips of a Prisoner standing in the cold light of morning, long ago.  Jesus had already told his followers that he was the way, the truth, and the life.[8]  He also said that he came into the world so that we might know the truth and the truth will make us free.[9]  But Pilate had no way of knowing the truth about any of this.  All he knew was that something needed to be done with this Prisoner who called himself a king.  What kind of king was this?  What kind of King isthis?

This is the question that brings us to today.  For some, Jesus is a triumphant King that we will only see at the end of time, when Christ comes to judge the living and the dead. For others, Jesus is a humble King, riding on a donkey – healing, feeding, teaching, and loving – ushering God’s kingdom into the here and now in small, but persistent ways, through the work of those who follow him.  The truth about Jesus is that he is both – in the here and now and in the yet-to-come, a King who is both suffering and triumphant, dead on a cross and risen from the grave, powerfully with us in the flesh and reigning in power in heaven.  This King is different from all the rulers of the earth who only seek power and hold on to that power at any cost.  Earthly power corrupts.  People are willing to sell their souls for it.  The kingdoms of the earth are fueled by love of self.  The King who rules the Kingdom of God is guided – first and foremost – by selfless love.

What kind of King is Jesus?  He is the King of Love, who shows us that true power is made perfect in weakness.[10]  Jesus Christ is a King who stands on the side of the prisoner, because he was a prisoner – the Prisoner who came to set us free – a King who stands on the side of those who suffer because he, too, suffered, a King who has chosen the way of non-violence, even though he was the victim of violence, a King who speaks the Truth to power and speaks the Truth in Love, even though the powerful would not listen. . .

We, who listen to him, though, belong to him.  We, who would hear his voice are called to follow him. We, who would hear the Truth that he speaks, are called to put our faith and trust in him before and above putting our faith and trust in the kingdoms of the earth.  

Pilate was worried that Jesus had come to start a revolution.  This iswhat Jesus came to do, in his revolutionary living and breathing, and teaching and healing, and dying and rising. . .  but it was a revolution of love– love for the world.  The Kingdom of God is at work in the midst of all of the kingdoms of the earth – making all of creation more and more like the kingdom that God intends, the way of abundant life and light and love that Jesus came to bring.  In the end, this love – the love of Jesus – the King of Love – is more powerful than any earthly power or principality or kingdom.  And we, who would follow this King, are signing up for the revolution in the ways that we show God’s selfless love to the world.

The King of Love, our loving shepherd is calling you. Will you follow this King?  Will you listen to his voice?  Will you join his Way of love?  

Will you?

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.  Amen.
