The Northrop F-89 will always be a ridiculous interceptor to me, ever since I learned about the "Battle of Palmdale".

In 1956 the US Navy was testing surface to air missiles for use on ships to defend against enemy aircraft. These missiles were being tested on unmanned drones that were converted from retired aircraft, in this case they were using an F6F Hellcat drone.

The drone took off from Point Mugu Naval Air Station in southern California and was making its way to the testing range when they lost signal with it. Being stuck at the last power setting and trim, the drone was a lazy runaway at the mercy of the winds. They observed it making a gentle turn towards Los Angeles and contacted the Air Force to scramble interceptors to shoot it down before it crashed into a populated area. Two F-89Ds took off from Oxnard AFB nearby and raced over to the drone. They caught up with it at around 30,000 feet and waited for it to drift away from the city before attempting to shoot it down. The drone started heading northwest to Santa Paula and they used that opportunity to attack.

Now, the F-89, like most early 1950s jets was moving away from the old fashioned maneuvering dogfights of WWII and towards high speed radar ranging and guided weapons. Northrop (among others) had such confidence in the new system that they designed the F-89 without a gun and with a large quantity of unguided rockets as the primary weapon. This meant that its means of attack involved acquiring the target via onboard radar and using a computer (the Hughes E-6 fire control system) to provide a solution to get the plane into position. Then they would essentially fire a shotgun salvo of unguided rockets in to destroy the target.

So back to California. When it was time to fire the rockets, both F-89s found that their Hughes E-6 computers were malfunctioning and couldn't target the drone. In this case they would have to switch from automatic to manual mode and use their gunsight to do the calculations themselves. However the Air Force had removed the manual gunsights completely from their aircraft! The pilots had no choice but to maneuver behind the target and "eyeball it" as they fired salvos of rockets at the drone. They took turns lining up shots at the meandering drone and firing 42 rockets each. The first jet missed completely but the second jet scored a glancing hit on it that failed to detonate and ricochet off. They each fired again in two more passes and scored no more hits against the drone.

All in all the two F-89s launched 208 rockets and none managed to destroy their target. With no more ammunition the pilots were forced to depart back to Oxnard while the drone's engine died of fuel exhaustion and it crashed near Palmdale.

Perhaps my favorite part of the whole incident is the aftermath of the rockets. Of the 208 fired they found 15 that failed to detonate at all. The first salvo started brushfires near Castaic which burned 1000 acres over two days. Some of the second set of rockets exploded and set fire to oil sumps that burned another 350 acres and reached within 300 feet of the Bermite Powder Explosives plant! One witness reported seeing a rocket skidding across the ground. The third salvo landed all around Palmdale. One rocket exploded in the front yard of a home and shrapnel ended up in the kitchen cabinets. Another rocket exploded in front of a moving car and shrapnel punctured the body and a tire. Last but definitely not least was a rocket that struck a parked truck and blew it up shortly after two men left it to sit underneath a tree for lunch.

I'll never not think about all of it whenever the F-89 is brought up or whenever I'm walking up from the parking lot at Hill AFB Museum.

The Northrop F-89 Scorpion has to be the most metal interceptor ever made! Just look at it, it uses the wingtip fuel tanks for carrying weapons, from rockets to retractable launchers for air-to-air missiles.

Plus it’s anachronism incarnate, a highly advanced combat jet that somehow decided to play it safe and keep the straight wing from the propeller-era combat aircraft of a few years prior.

Consequences of California Proposition 64 in 2021

When Proposition 64 was put on the ballot in 2016, passed on November 8, and implemented beginning on November 9, 2016, law enforcement officials warned the public that passing such a measure would create a new criminal culture in California as a result. The proponents of the measure discounted these claims focusing more on the decrimalization of recreational (and especially medical) use of marijuana. The measure allows users, 21 years and older, to grow up to 6 live plants per household for personal use, which seems inconsequential in the effort the decriminalize the use of this drug. But, what proponents ignored and what criminal prosecuters warned about were the provisions that reduced the penalties for many other marijuana offenses. An unlicensed grower of marijuana who possesses 7 or more plants, no matter how many plants he has in his possession, is no longer guilty of a felony with the penalties attached. That grower is only guilty of a misdemeanor with a maximum fine of $500 whether that grower has 7 plants of 70,000. Several misdemeanor offenses are now infractions as a result of prop 64.

As District Attorney Jason Anderson explained at a recent Town Hall Meeting held in San Bernardino County on July 10, 2021, a penalty for criminal activity with such inadequate consequences was primed to create a network of illegal unlicensed marijuana growning operations whose only goal is to undercut the prices or the bottom line of legal growing operations. These growers are organized enterprises funded by organized crime in the form of drug cartels. Specifically mentioned were the Mexican, the Chinese, and the Armenian Cartels. For these cartels, a fine of $500, even if this fine is $500 a day, doesn’t even put a dent in the amount of money produced by these grow farms. And a misdemeanor charge doesn’t have much “teeth” as a deterrent for those who work for these cartels.

Sheriff John McMahon explained that even when an illegal growning operation is targeted by the department, the scope of the warrant only allows for confiscation of the plants. All the buildings, grow tents, and equipment remain intact (because it is not illegal to own these items) leaving the basic infrastructure also intact to easily set up the operation again.

The proponents of the new culture created by proposition 64 ask the question, why should this matter? Why are we prosecuting growers of marijuana when the recreational use of marijuana in California is currently legal? The problem comes because these illegal growing operations are unregulated. These growers set up operations on land in communities without zoning approval, often on land in rural areas or near residential housing and schools. Partially because they are unzoned and don’t have building department or other government approval, these illegal operations often steal electricity from the local power lines and water from the local water companies - sometimes even from local home owners. They use chemical pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers even many that are banned not only for use in California but nation wide. The use of these banned chemicals have been known to impact existing water supplies, cause for great concern in San Bernardino County and the rest of California that is currently experiencing drought conditions. Many in the county are dependent on ancient underground aquifers that, should they become tainted, could render a whole community or region uninhabitable like the city of Hinckley near Barstow. And this doesn’t even address the impact these illegitimate operations have on the local ecosystems.

What concerned the manager of the Pinon Hills/Phelan CSD is the increase of water use in the community of 36% over water use during the same period last year (in 2020), an increase he said was “unsustainable”. This increase is directly attributable to illegal marijuana grow farms in the regions. One marijuans plant requires 3 gallons of water per day to sustain it.

The town’s people in attendance wanted to know what our government officials plan to do about this problem. The water compnay plans to impletment a 3 tier system intended to charge high use customers more money. Unfortunately, that doesn’t address the theft of water from existing residential customers or the illegal well drilling operations that steal water from existing wells.

Congressman Obernolte reported that local DEA agents worked with law enforcement in LA County, using existing Federal Laws to shut down illegal growers in the Palmdale Lancaster Area. He said that he is working to get the same kind of enforcement co-operation here in San Bernardino County. DEA can target the water trucks, well drillers, and land owners who have been facilitating these growing farms using federal laws.

The District Attorney has been focusing on criminal activity that can be prosecuted, like the violence often associated with organized crime. And, they are also focusing on civil prosecution of complaints by the county and local home owners. They have also asked code enforcement to look into those types of violations including the use of banned chemicals and the illegal dumping of trash created by these farms.

The Sherrif’s Department has increased the number of task forces devoted to illegal marijuana growing farms from two to five. They have also added two new deputies to serve the tri community and moved the Phelan Sub Station to a building near the Phelan Community Center in an effort to be more accessible to the public. Since these growing operations use so much water, the sherrifs department has asked members of the community to report any suspicious activity related to the water trucks, and trucks with large plastic water containers in vehicles that have proliferated in the community as a result of this need for water.

Bui the most telling information from the Sherriff’s department was Sherriff McMahon’s assurance that the policy concerning the issuance of CCW’s will continue as it has been - an assurance that was echoed by his successor Sharon Dicus. Neither man chose to explain why they felt mentioning this policy was important. It could be noted, however, that the local news reported that a citizen, who is believed to have been targeted by one illegal grow operation waited for an hour for sherriff’s deputies to respond to a shots fired call. That home owner used his own gun to defend himself while he waited for law enforcement to respond

The only real solution to this problem is to change the laws governing these types of activities and address the concerns of the members of our communities. Our local State Representatives and Congressman Obernolte who attended shared their attempts to introduce legislation that would address the environmental Impact these illegal enterprises have on the ecosystem, ininfrastructure, and water supply. While Democrats and Republicans can’t alway agree about issues like the legalization of marijuana or punishements related to possession of the same, they can usually agree about many issues related to the environment. The polution of our local water supply is something about which both sides can agree. To that end, they have introduced legislation with an environmental focus.

The San Bernardino County Sherriffs Department, the District Attorney, and the County Supervisors have also been working in concert on legislation that will give them the power to shut down these operations for good and move them out of the county.

The final advice from our elected officials is to make our voice heard. Let our elected officials know how you feel about these issues.

Hey all I have a short story published with Sinking City. Please check it out! :D

Excerpt:

Ruth wants to clutch entrails. Death is final and lacks decorum. She cannot walk back from this scene with its burnt coffee smell of off-brand hazelnut, its sound of screen door flapping in breeze. Praise Jesus this be a consumptive country; surely it will drown her.

A touch jars her. “Please, ma’am, come this way.”

Ruth Prophet lives with her mom Heather in a flat roofed, cinderblock Florida house. A low, shadowed thing with windows open in evening and closed during day. Heavy curtains block out summer heat though humidity claws through regardless. Walls sweat. Tiles sweat. Ruth and Heather sweat. It’s always late when Ruth comes in from her second job at a truck-stop gas station. Her mother asleep Ruth leaves lights off as she brushes her teeth and crawls naked into bed. She tries to read but cannot focus, eventually falling asleep with face pressed into book. Ruth dreams always, and tonight it’s the Blue Man. His back is to her and she can’t make out the details of his clothes beyond the color of the coat (Atlantic) and hat (hurricane-clouds). She asks, “what storm is coming? What’ll its name be? Will it bury us under silt?” The Blue Man does not answer and though she walks towards him he remains out of reach. There is wind. The dream-beach is coquina and cool sand. She thinks of houses prepared for hurricanes with boarded windows and doors, generators tied down. She wants to shake him and demand answers. When she wakes it’s to the taste of salt and memory of rain on skin.

That Summer of 1994

By Stephen Jay Morris

January 2, 2019

©Scientific Morality

On the afternoon of December 13, 2018, we were at Pet Haven Cemetery in Gardena, California, having our beloved Golden Retriever, Benny, laid to rest. Pamela and I were in a difficult state of bereavement. We decided on a kind of self-medication by way of an impromptu picnic at the park where I’d worked 24 years ago. We headed for Cerritos Park East.

Navigating L.A. County freeways has become an exhaustingly horrendous task. Finally, after traveling east on the 91—less than five miles in 30 minutes—we reached that nostalgic off ramp I’d used so many times back then: Bloomfield Avenue. After a couple of wrong turns, we reached our destination. My memories came flooding back into focus. I’d worked there as a summer gardener for 96 days. I can count on one hand the number of jobs I actually ever liked. One was a mail clerk for some law firm in Century City; the other, a temporary grounds keeper at Cerritos Park. My “dream” job had always been that of an on-site gardener in some park, university, or a rich man’s Bel Aire mansion. There were two other dream jobs, but I never held either: one was that of a gardener at the White House in Washington D.C.; the other, a groundskeeper at Dodgers Stadium. I really hated working for any private landscaping company on a route, or for a municipality, going from place to place on a city truck. I liked being in one location the entire day. This job was it.

Here are a few facts about the City of Cerritos. It was incorporated in 1956 as the City of Dairy Valley. Miles upon miles of dairies occupied the area until California’s rising property values and taxes supported large-scale development over agriculture. The dairies were forced out and replaced by housing tracts and shopping centers. In 1967, the city was renamed Cerritos, after the nearby Spanish land grant, Rancho Los Cerritos. All of the cattle that had grazed the extensive landscape made for very fertile soil. It is no wonder that the neighborhoods were, and still are, so lush; I mean really green. Hundreds of trees cast shadows on the sidewalks and streets the entire day. There are plants, shrubs and parcels of grass everywhere you look. At the time, it made the hot summer bearable.

Cerritos—Spanish for “little hills”—is known primarily for the car dealerships constantly advertised on local television. There is their landmark Cerritos Center of the Performing Arts. Once in a while you’ll hear about that auditorium when some group or person, who was famous for 15 minutes in the 60’s, plays a concert there. Someone like “Gary Lewis and the Playboys.” Or when they present some high school play. The downtown area is small. The City is what is referred to as a “bedroom town;” a community where people have their homes, yet commute long distances to work in central Los Angeles. When I worked there, residents were predominately Asian and White. I don’t know what the demographics are now. Cerritos is next to the City of La Palma, and east of that is Orange County; i.e.: Cerritos is the next to the last city from the county line

The summer of 1994 was a strange and exciting time in history. I remember how, on June 17, O.J. Simpson in his Ford Bronco was being chased around the county by L.A.P.D. squad cars. At one point, O.J. drove by the park on the 91 freeway, police cars in tow. News helicopters were televising this SUV car chase all over the local channels. It was a Friday. Pamela and I watched, transfixed, after I arrived home in Palmdale. Then, on August 12, Major League Baseball went on strike. All of a sudden, baseball fans were so desperate to see a game they came in droves to Cerritos Park to watch little league games! Guess who cleaned up the after each game? Talk about a mess! In the dugouts, there were piles of Sunflower seeds and candy wrappers.

Music was good. The top pop group was “Ace of Base,” a Swedish group. You might say they picked up were “ABBA” left off. Of course there was the Grunge thing going on. I listened to this alternative station called, “Y-107 FM”. It didn’t last long.

East Cerritos Park, now called Cerritos Park East, has hardly changed. The only thing I noticed that was different was that the once vacant field next to the park’s west end was now a gated housing tract. Before that, Whitney High School’s athletic field was viewable from the park’s grounds equipment garage. The garage was located just behind of the building that housed the Olympic-sized swimming pool. It was largest pool in the county. I also recall that I never saw any bathing beauties come through the pool’s exit door. Only young kids senior citizens.

Pamela and I ate our picnic lunch at a table under a large tree. I was turning my head around like an owl, reminiscing about that summer in 1994. As I focused on one open area, I remembered how, every morning, I used to see elderly Asians doing Tai Chi exercises there. (The last time I’d witnessed such an activity was on my high school’s front lawn, Fairfax High. However, the participants were Jewish Hippies.) Every location I saw evoked a memory. First, the tennis courts, with which I was tasked to clean daily. I soon recalled how, on the basketball courts, my crew and I would use a hydro powered sprayer over the expansive pavement. Then, there was the parking lot that had hosted teenage couples having sex in their parents’ cars. I never witnessed it, of course; they’d frequent the place only at night. But, I had to clean up the parking lot each morning and, without fail, I’d find used condoms. Gross! I also found used hypodermic needles, which I’d been instructed to leave alone for some special crew, in hazardous gear, to came and retrieve them. After I finished my lunch, I walked over to the nearby equipment garage where my crew would hang out during the day, on breaks and between assignments. At the time, we used equipment that was 30 years old. I immediately noticed the brand new sit down mowers now parked there.

I first wrote about this place in my manuscript, “Uncivil Service,” Chapter 13. It was nice being in that park again. It was a reminder that my life didn’t suck so much. It shall always be “East Cerritos Park” to me.

Why Is My Garage Door Not Closing?

A sticking garage door can be frustrating, especially if you’re in a hurry to leave or get home. There are a few possible reasons for your garage door not to be closing properly.

Dirty or misaligned sensors One reason could be that the photo eye sensors are dirty or misaligned. The photo eyes are on either side of the garage door and help to ensure that the door doesn’t close if something is in the way. If the sensors are dirty, they may not be able to detect an obstruction properly. To clean the sensors, simply wipe them with a dry cloth. You may also have to realign the sensors if they’ve become misaligned.

Dirty or blocked trucks Another reason your garage door might not close is that the tracks are dirty or blocked. The garage door opener uses the tracks to move the door up and down. If they’re dirty, the door may not be able to move smoothly on them. To clean the tracks, simply wipe them down with a damp cloth. You may also need to remove any debris that’s blocking the tracks.

Faulty door opener If your garage door still doesn’t close after cleaning and checking the photo eyes and tracks, it may be an issue with the door opener itself. If you have an older model opener, it may need to be replaced. Garage door openers typically last for about 10-15 years before they need to be replaced.

If you’re having trouble with your garage door not closing correctly, contact a professional garage door repair company for assistance.

They will diagnose the problem and make the necessary repairs so that your garage door closes properly again.

Trucking Company a Front to Secretly Haul the predecessor of the SR-71, The A-12, to Area 51 in 1960s

In the 1960s, during the development of the SR-71 Blackbird aircraft, Lockheed had to figure out a way to transport the secret aircraft from their Skunk Work’s facility in Burbank, California, to the test site (Area 51, Nevada) without anyone knowing what they were hauling.

The Air Force did not have the C-5 airplane yet, a huge transportation aircraft introduced in 1970 that secretly transported the F-117 Stealth Fighter to the Area 51 test site. So, the Lockheed team developed a “false-front” truck line called Roadrunner Internationale to haul the A-12 fuselage and wings to the test site, where it was reassembled.

The A-12 was produced from 1962 to 1964 and flew from 1963 to 1968. It was the precursor to the SR-71 Blackbird, a slightly longer variant able to carry a heavier fuel and camera load.

How Did Roadrunners Internationale Haul The Airplanes?

The Roadrunners were an elite group of CIA, Air Force and support personnel operating out of what is officially known as “an operating location near Groom Lake, Nev.,” also known as Area 51, the Ranch or the Area by those who worked there.

From the beginning of Project OXCART, it was known that the A-12s would be built in the Skunk Works within the Lockheed Plant complex in Burbank, California and that the A-12s (and later the SR-71) would have to be transported overland to Area 51 for flight testing, development and training of the Project Pilots.

The trip to haul the full scale model was started in November 1959 and took three days to complete. The largest of these packages was 65′ long and 32.6′ wide.

In total, eighteen trips were made to Area 51 and three trips were made to Palmdale to carry the first three SR-71s built.

The first fully developed A-12 convoy departed Burbank on 26 February 1962 and arrived three days later. The safe operation of the transportation of these airplanes was aided by the California and Nevada Highway Patrols.

Dorsey Kammerer was appointed to head up the activity to build and use the transportation carriage system. An early-on step was to equip a pickup truck with a set of extension poles sized to the width, height of the main transport carriage trailer.

An initial plan was to drive the best estimate route of travel, noting the obstacles to easy movement of the carriage boxes. Where necessary, the obstacles were noted and steps were taken later to be removed, such as signs, trees, and roadside soils.

Travel was allowed on mid-week days only, no movement on the weekends or Holidays. During one of the movements a Greyhound bus nicked the big box. The bus driver was paid cash to have the bus repairs done without any resultant attention to the details.

The end of the road was the main hangar complex at Area 51 where the airplane was off-loaded into the hangar for re-assembly. permitbook.com/trucking-compa…

Sea City Maryland is one of the beloved holiday seaside locations in the Mid-Atlantic Coastline. As a personal injury attorney with decades of injury experience in auto, motorcycle, truck, bike, vehicle, as well as pedestrian crashes, wrongful deaths and also canine attacks, Sebastian Gibson provides clients coming from Palmdale to Hesperia, Victorville to San Bernardino, Redlands to Ontario, Rancho Cucamonga to Waterfront, as well as Rialto to Colton. Old West communities including Nonessential, Dodge City, and also Tombstone constitute the grimy backgrounds for numerous intimate, tragic, as well as mythical amounts as well as events from the American outpost's rougher days. You leave the hustle and bustle of metropolitan area lifestyle so you can easily work out under the pleasant hot Belize sun.

It is actually really up to the individual person if they would certainly use objectionable imprinted or even discourteous imprinted clothing out in the public. When the tomb was actually completed, the river was actually come back to its own initial internet site as well as the tomb covered along with water. Yet in all times during its own lengthy presence the poaper modified through a guy who had devoted the 1st twenty first years of his life in restraint was proof of the potentialiities of an individuals enthralled and was actually the perfect solution to the inquiry regarding whether fugitive slaves that arrived North carry out certainly not essentially end up being thieves or even poor men. Nonetheless, recognizing what the punishment may be for disobedience they abided by; the wagon train masters were stunned to find that not just will they receive no help in Salt Lake Area, no quantity of loan or even other items can entice the vendors there to give them any kind of materials. And also even though this is actually the fact for the majority of people, that ability to change the status and produce the life they have actually consistently desired for appears impossible. The involved pop-up publication over brings in the best present for anyone who enjoys New york city vacation heritages, coming from the lighting fixtures of the Xmas Tree to viewing the sphere drop on New Year's Eve in Times Square a week after Christmas. The FDA would certainly not claim that administered the exams that found listeria in the Oklahoma plant, but it kept in mind that Blue Alarm sent "probable good" listeria samples to a third party for confirmation on at the very least 2 celebrations in 2014. The additional Rajendran became aware of the Miami community's poverty and physical violence, the documentarian chose the region was "yelling for focus." So he left what he called Miami's "silver lining" as well as took his cams to Liberty Metropolitan area for three weeks. Just like the Jamestown swarm, the people on Roanoke lived a hard-scrabble, subsistence existence. Having said that, I have found that entering into an air-conditioned structure and going outdoors into the heat several times daily, basics again and again, may misbehave for one's health and wellness. Divided into ten specific regions consisting of the Mediterranean, polar oceans, exotic oceans and the Red Ocean aquarium tank, Oceanografic is a beautiful building combination of steel, glass and water, with gleaming pools both outdoors and also in. Swing low and you'll see New york city's famous yellow taxis steering individuals throughout community. Taylor Swift was actually captured on film taking a stroll in New York Urban area on Sunday afternoon (March 30, 2014). Regrettably, many site visitors make the mistake of investing their priceless vacation opportunity on the inappropriate traits, or even go about viewing the metropolitan area in the wrong method.

============================================

My house has been surrounded by a group of people who were trespassing on my property all day since early this morning. The Monroe terror cell is providing scout and watch-dog service for the group, there have been at least four terror soldiers in my yard all day, also are staged at 520 Jackpine, and they brought with them the exotic birds from the Sunflower terror cell.for use as noise cover. I only was able to see one of them, a female, black hair. young looking, under 20 years old is a guess, she is wearing a bright blue shirt, I don’t recognize the girl. I heard others at 520 and at the same time at the mailboxes on the road, and I heard someone was saying some things from there that proved to have been that the person had opened my mailbox and was reading the mail envelopes, I heard the person saying the names and words that are written on the mail envelopes, such as the sender and advertising words, as I noticed after walking to the mailbox to get my mail. That girl had run over towards the Freeberg terror cell by then, tuned around and walked towards the Dietrick terror cell. I think the girl went to the Manning, MedDems terror cell on foot, she disappeared out of view quickly as I was getting my mail out of the mailbox.

These are some of the exotic birds that belong to the Sunflower terror cell, they are still in my yard now, and have been on the roof and hanging around on the front porch and back yard deck making a lot of racket while those people were also hiding on my property, The people have been releasing a poison gas all day, at least one kind that makes blurry vision, and the usual nitrous gas, and it’s the nitrous gas that makes the exotic birds easy to bring over here... the birds will go where ever the nitrous gas is blowing, they follow the gas the same way as the Sparacino terror cell brings the wild turkeys for the noise cover on attack, and also the terror cells use the nitrous to bring deer to a location, as the terror soldiers are actually able to stand next to and hide behind deer while walking along side of deer that are exposed to the nitrous gas as they advance towards an attack location through the woods here.

The people at Monroe terror cell don’t look exactly like Sandy and Jeff, but two people portraying Sandy and Jeff Monroe came outside and were there near my gate when I returned from the mail box. Both of them said to me “Hi!” and used my first name. The one portraying Jeff Monroe would not look at me, he kept his back turned and squatted near the pond over there, while the one portraying Sandy Monroe did look at me. Her hair is not the same as I am used to seeing the current Sandy, Those two people are suspected of being the real Lorena Chapman, and the man that I saw driving the blue Ford F-250 earlier this week and also saw him with someone who looks like the real Lorena Chapman also earlier this week. I don’t think the two people at Monroe’s terror cell are either one of the current Monroe’s that reside there.

Sometimes I mention a man by the name of Mateo who was a big player in the housing boom of the 1980′s in California and I suspect was someone who came direct from the Vatican to oversee the enormous housing projects that took place back then in the newhall/Saugus/Valencia/Victorville/Palmdale areas. Housing where Canadian terror army soldiers were given brand new homes to live in.

This photo where it says is Freddy Mercury at age 18 looks EXACTLY like Mateo did in the late 1970′s and early 1980′s in the area along the 14 Freeway in California. I feel it’s important, so, there you go.

Mateo in around 1979 - 1981 was the man in charge of a housing tract I worked at for a couple of years doing framing and other carpentry. The reason I feel it important to point out what Mateo looked like is because he was not employed by any of the contractors, nor was he part of the land developer’s general contractor’s foremen or other representatives, yet, he was the man who was there when problems arose, and when the building inspectors came to the job and that was one of my duties for awhile on some of the phases of the tracts along the 14 Freeway, I walked around with the inspector and I had an apprentice with me, and when I did, Mateo also walked around, so, when the inspector marked something to fix, we fixed it right there most of the time, only takes a few minutes mostly. Mateo seemed to be a man who was capable of intimidating the inspectors. He was a giant of a man in many ways, and was about 6′3″ or more tall.

The reason this is so important for me to say, is that those job sites along the 14 Freeway were guarded by men who stayed at the entrances to the neighborhoods we were building, those guards were what I would say as “unconventional guards“ who stayed there watching everyone who drove in there, and they were armed heavy with machine guns to do guard work at a housing tract during the day time, normal working hours, I learned of the machine guns when I drove to work in different truck than I usually drove, and those guys swooped in on me fast, like rocket powered Velcro ...suddenly I was surrounded by all these guys pointing guns at me, all I did was arrive a little late in a different truck. In 1980, those guys had hidden wireless communication devises.

There may be more to say about those massive tracts of houses along the 14 Freeway and around there in Valencia, but I need to speak in person about it to people who know how important this information really is. The tracts of houses in those days were typically 400 homes per phase, and as many as eight to ten phases of tract homes were built in those areas on the same job site. Before I worked in that area along the 14, the biggest phase of tract houses was about 100 homes per phase in areas throughout Ventura County along the 101 Freeway, and that was a lot.

One of the things I would talk about, given an interview, concerns a framing company called Ruffco Construction, I worked for them for awhile, Ruffco was a non-union employer, so I didn‘t stay long, but I learned that the Foremen of Ruffco spoke French. Ruffco was a contractor that trained Canadian terror soldiers to do framing carpentry, then, those carpenters went to work for Union contractors, such as Lee Bolin Construction, the very biggest employer of Carpenters back then ... I worked for Lee Bolin for a long time, and I noticed that as the framers from Ruffco showed up on the Lee Bolin job sites to work, the carpenters that I knew and had worked alongside all of my life stared to disappear.

That is why Mateo is an important figure, because the tradesmen were all killed and replaced as a product of the massive housing tracts along the 14 and other places.

This story about Amazon and urine and bottles is likely to have been rolled out as part of a special offensive attack set of shell language as follows:

Screen Actor Guild uses sex terms, bodily function terms, terms that are associated with injuries, sickness, mental conditions, and basically all things that are very “human“ oriented, and are also difficult subject matter for normal people to discuss in mixed company, and that is why those kinds of subject matter, words, ideas, work so well for use as shell language the is suitable for commanding a terror army to advance.

Having said that, the “Urine”, in SAG circles, is associated to “Golden Shower”. I don’t want to spell it out for you, so, the thing to know is the “Urine = Gold = Guild = SAG” ... Guild = Gold and has for a long time, and “Guild” by way of “Gold” has been an identifying word as a SAG ID, also for a long time. I learned of the “Guild = Gold” in around 1972, when I was very young, and the people I was around at the time were using “Gold Lief”, a very thin sort of gold paper that is used by artists to adorn a statue, for instance. They would get a suitable, small statue and some Gold Lief, and afix the statue with it, then, the statue is placed in a window sill somewhere that is visible to passers by at their homes. That Gold Lief Statue was enough to say: “We are SAG Here” when the statue was placed visibly near the front door of the house. I still have one of the Gold Lief Statues that was used that way in my youth.

So, this Amazon urine story is similar to a Gold Lief Statue, the way I am seeing it materialize locally where I live.

I am seeing recently that some of the vehicles have a sticker, like a bumper sticker, the sticker shows a bottle, the bottle is filled with a yellow liquid. Other indicators so far include that I also noticed that one of the vehicles also had a sticker that depicted a set of sails of a sail boat. The sail sticker did not show a boat, only three triangles, in an artful way, depicting sailboat sails on the same vehicle where the yellow filled bottle sticker was placed centrally on a tailgate of an SUV that I saw Wednesday, So far, I have only seen two such yellow bottle stickers on vehicles, but I am cautious about these kinds of things that seem to connect, so, that is the connection that I am seeing develop and some background about why it’s important to be aware of.

Reminder:

Amazon became what it is today by virtue of stealing everything they have today.

Amazon and Google teamed up together to make a situation where consumers who searched online for products they wanted to purchase, and when they did that, Google presented the search results of places where the searched items could be obtained online. Among the search results was Amazon as a place where the desired product was available, and at Amazon, the desired product was typically offered at $5 less than any other place.

Consumers who chose to make a purchase of the searched items from Amazon, were sent the items from a competing online retailer, and, Amazon billed the customer.

For instance, if someone selected Amazon online for buying an item, say a Toaster, Amazon‘s “Shopping Cart” and billing website was used to make the purchase, however, when the Toaster arrives to the customer, it may have been shipped from Sears & Roebuck.

Somehow, with use of Googles ability to manipulate online commerce, the billing was performed by Amazon, while the shipping was done by some unfortunate retail outlet that was targeted by Google and Amazon to be taken down one product purchase at a time. The customer receives a product from a company such as Sears Roebuck, who shipped the Toaster ... but the Sears was never paid for the Toaster. Instead, Amazon collected the payment through their “Shopping Cart & Billing” website.

I made some purchases that way, the items I bought were not shipped from Amazon, yet the shipper was listed on the invoice, so, I had paid Amazon, then received the product from a company that I did not do business with for that purchase. I think I bought some audio books that way as I recall, paid Amazon online, while some other retailer sent the audio books to the address I listed as the shipping address when I made the purchase from Amazon, as a result of a Google Search for the specific audio books I wanted. I have forgotten where the items were shipped from, but that information may be available to those who do research to find out that Amazon is a Pirate corporation that devoured it’s competition. They have absolutely nothing invested in any of their holdings, it’s all stolen from other retailers such as Sears & Roebuck.

Horrible poison attack rash update:

The healing is happening, it’s just happening in slow motion.

This photo shows the wound that is on the right side down low on the ankle. I pointed this one out a while back when it still was looking as two separate puncture wounds. Since then, over that past week or so, the two separate puncture wounds have grown into one bigger wound, as all of the others did. You can also see that a number of satalite smaller wounds are forming in the immediate area around the original puncture areas.

Of all the wounds, this one is healing at the slowest rate. There has been no change in it’s appearance for quite some time, it just sits there looking very alien, is not a naturally occurring looking healing wound. I try to peel some of that red scab away, but the pain is way too great, I am not able to get near that without a lot of pain.

Here you can see much improvement over the same area from a week ago as far as the big open sores are concerned.

These photos, unfortunately, are as good as I can get with my flip phone camera. I am not able to purchase a good camera because of the terror take over, the terror bastards simply make the cameras either unavailable or make the purchase conditions so dangerous that any attempt to buy a camera will result in an attack in the store. The UPS, USPS, and Fed-Ex delivery companies are all hijacked by the terror army, so online purchases are not delivered. The last things that I bought online included men with machine guns and poison gas in the delivery truck, I was not injured at the time, and still it was way too dangerous to survive the delivery of things I bought online, The last thing I purchased was a drum set, it came Fed-Ex. When I went out to get the delivery in the driveway, those three men came out of the truck with guns. Had I not used my Bic Lighter to clear the air of the nittous gas that they primed the driveway with, I would have been killed. Instead, those three were killed. The driver was not one of the gunmen, he drove away after throwing my delivered items at me.

I am using some aggressive massage to try to move the poisons towards the wound areas, and it’s working. I squeeze the leg in a direction towards the open sores. Instead of the poisons leaking out of the sores that are already there, new lesions opened up, they are brand new surface level and are there in between those dark colored areas. The camera is not picking up those places very well, but they are there, and the poison is coming out when I massage the leg with pressure in that direction. The leaking poisons are enough that it makes a drip, so, that is substantial and I am going to keep doing that until it won‘t leak out any more.

I do about eight to ten peroxide cleansings per day, and at night smearing the contents of the vitamin E gel-caps onto the open sores is working way better than the neo-sporin did, and the Vitimin E somehow works as a pain reliever. it takes the burning sensation away from when the wound is exposed to air, that hurts real bad when the air comes in contact with the open wound, I am not able to sleep at all even with the vitamin E. I don’t think I have slept more than about two hours at a time for many weeks. The peroxide is showing that there is a lot of poisons in my leg, as it makes a big white foamy froth of cleaning.

The fake doctor at the White City Asante Urgent Care said I needed to have the leg amputated above the knee when I went to try to get medical treatment.

The truth is that I am a United States Citizen, not a Canadian terror soldier, and I am nor a SAG member, and that is why I was not offered medical treatment. All that needed to happen was to open the sores and flush them with cleensing antibiotics, then stitch them back up.

Instead, the asshole terror doctor told me to go somewhere else where an amputation was said to solve the problems.

11:03 pm:

Important other thing:

Although massage squeezing to move the poisons from where it’s all pooled up inside of my calf near the wounds is good for getting some of it to come out, it seems to come at some risk also when I de that, and I think I should mention that in case others are also attacked with this double poison injection in locations where the hospitals and medical facilities have been hijacked and are in control of the Canadian terror army like they are in Oregon.

Don’t go to the hospital whatever you do, it is very difficult to leave once you realize that they are going to hand cuff you to the bed like they tried to do to me the last time I was there for medical help in 2015.

The drawback of massaging the area to push that poison out is that after a few minutes of that it makes a scary chest ;pain. That, and my other leg begins to itch like crazy, so, some of the poisons are being forced into the blood stream, and then I suppose the kidneys and liver are going to have some problems later on as a result of those poisons.

Like I said before, I still suspect the two poisons were Freon that is used for air conditioners, and that is pooled up in my foot, and seems to stay t here. The other poison I suspect is car battery acid, and that is the stuff that s leaking out with the massage technique. I have a Wahl brand muscle vibration massage thing, it has a large flat surfaced vibrating foot sort of thing, and that is what is working to loosen up the poisons in the leg, but like I said, after a little while the scary chest pain happens and the itching in the other extremities,

I am still taking lots of fish oil vitamin, and more ibuprofen than I want to take, in effort to keep the blood flowing, the swelling, and mostly the inflammation away.
