Trees, Brain Surgery, Money, Doctors, Books and Other Random Ruminations

  "Once all struggles are grasped, miracles are possible." - Mao Zedong    

    "I don't always fly fish, but when I do, I release epic tales of the one that got away."

    I know we cut down the sapling that was growing in my front yard and planted a Green Giant Arbor Vitae, but I swear, I really am more of a tree guy than people think. And no, I am not talking about plants here. I'm talking about family trees. One tree I have done or inadvertently done a lot is yeah, I just said it and you probably guessed it, the Lotts.   

I like the Lotts because they are rich but they don't let money go to their head. They are gritty people and fight very hard for the most important values in our society. The Lotts aren't caught up in the rampant materialism of our day. They don't covet power and they don't let the poor suffer. The Lotts are my kind of American family and this country would be much better if all people were more like them. I owe a huge debt of gratitude to the Lotts for all they have done to right it these last couple years. 

With the recent battle in Phoenix though, the Lotts have been hit hard. I recently decided I am not going to be doing the Lotts again for a very, very, very long time. They have done enough, let's give them a rest and time to rebuild. I think other individuals and families can and should pitch in now and help shoulder the mental health burdens of our society.

  

I am going to keep my eyes and ears open to discovering more good American power families from here on out. You gotta shop around you know (ha, ha, ha). If anyone has any suggestions for some "family coupons" I'd welcome them today. 

So enough of putting the Lotts in the hotseat and doing them all the time. That worked in the past but now we need to start sailing this ship on more masts. I am only a amateur ship captain and don't really know what exactly I'm sailing, or even if I'm sailing things at all, but this artwork best descibes what I think I have now. Time Machine Airship 

Notice the horizon in the picture looks really nice. I think we still have time but we have been warned. From the recent Phoenix events we now know what it is capable of and what it means. I think Aimee Mann sings what we need to remember and do now in her song Wise Up .

Phoenix was a glimpse into the future. We need to prepare-- but I think we are fighting it at near optimal levels now, so noone get alarmed or rushed. I like the mentality expressed in this ancient Chinese proverb here, "The Devil whispers 'You are not ready for the storms.'  The warrior replies, 'I am the storm' ." 

Sure and steady is what we really need now. If we do that we are going to turn this world upside down. Speaking of that, did you notice? Top Ramen was like the most nutritious thing on the Costco shelves this month. Man how the tables have turned! 

I recently found my new favorite food company. Check out the souped up ingredients in these emergency preparedness meals here Prepared Thriving Wellness Family. Yeah, things haven't changed much over the years. The ancient physician Hippocrates had it right when he said, "Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food."

I think we should celebrate our victory in Phoenix now and take a nice long rest. Then we should confuse everyone as to who won the battle. Then we need to circulate all kinds of wild rumors as to the death tolls and damage. Once people are thoroughly confused and alarmed we need to do some ass kissing and praise the American power families who make this country great and kindly ask them to save America from the brink of destruction. We all know though that what we are really doing is just giving them their lucky chance to help America win again. Now how does that sound for a lo plan? (ha, ha, ha)

No seriously, I think we should skip the drama and free bookings to Circus Circus Hotel and Casino, Las Vegas and just tell the families upfront that I can't do the Lotts anymore and need them bad now. If it helps, tell them I researched them out and chose them myself. While I don't personally know many people from most of these power families, I have heard about them and would like to learn more ..... if of course, I had the time to. I really am sorry, I am so, so backlogged now. I realize I can't even keep up with and talk to all the mothers of my children, let alone all these families. 

Anyways, there are nine American power families I want to choose to help me. They are located in the northern US states, the southern states, out east, out west and in the center of the country. They are all good families and I'm only suggesting we do them for a short term. Please note, I am also not mentioning here the slew of bad families we can and should do. Those selections may even be of more importance than those I'm suggesting now.

Yeah, this feels good, I really do need to stop thinking I can do everything and that I am invincible here. So here goes my family selections: From the West- The Sharps and the Carters.  From the East- The Waltons and the McConnells. From the North- The Lancasters and the Blakes. From the South- The Rhodes and the Seviers. And from the Midwest, I'm only choosing one family here because it is less populated there, the Pollards. 

Since I am a big target now but reluctantly taking on the role of Paul Revere and warning everyone "The redcoats are coming, the redcoats are coming!" (see the Beastie Boys Paul Revere song ha, ha, ha) I just thought I should have a little more say in who gets involved, saved, thanked, spared, utilized, worked, trusted, and yes, revered in this ongoing war. The Lotts are revered now, they have officially made it to "exempt status" in my book. Check out this true quote I found online, "Families who keep loving until they get it right will never be divided." Also, have the families remember I am a big believer that, "One must commit acts of the highest treason only when dressed in the most resplendent."

I give up trying to change my role in this unceasing war though and have just accepted my fate. I am certain noone is going to give me a dime to fight it. They will steal my gun now (if I could even buy one legally), and they all want to make me poster child of the New American Communist Revolution. I'm sorry, people today are still grossly unfair and sick. I don't feel much allegiance to America or anyone right now and I am definitely not going to be somebody's Ra King or Fortunate Son. I will be Paul Revere for now and probably that squirrel in this picture, but that is it (ha, ha, ha). Flying Squirrel Image  

To the sky, these family names are just general suggestions. If you ever find yourself low on options or unsure what to do, maybe just know that I approve these families now and think they would be good ones to trust.

So anyways, this is my first major attempt to branch out and find more American power families. I guess I'm feeling like I can't just sit around idly and let things happen; I have to try and take this bull by the horns. When life gives you lemons you make lemonade, right? 

I'm not exactly sure how all these thoughts will be received by the families and society though. Maybe some will say I'm seeking to dictate, maybe some will say I want fame. Maybe some will say I'm certifiably crazy. In the end, I suspect saying these things will go off somewhat like this scene from National Lampoons Christmas Vacation (ha, ha, ha). National Lampoons Squirrel Scene 

I must confess, it's great being a squirrel that scares the living shit out of everyone (ha, ha, ha). But please know I mostly just want to shake up the bad people. 

Being a squirrel has some stresses too. For one, I'm flat out broke and all I have to eat is nuts and more nuts. I am trying my hardest now to put off the conspiracies, harassments, inflation threats and God damn gravity of it all and simply laugh again, but maybe I'm coming up short. Here is the new motto I made up for myself though, "IF ITS NOT FUNNY, KILL IT" (ha, ha, ha).

Sex and laughter is what America needs most now to heal so lets all remember another important slogan, "DO DUH PRUDE TUBES." They are mostly all fixed now with two strikes against them, so I think we just have to take them. 

I just want it to be known that despite a long and drawn out lay ban placed on me by my family and society and many false rumors circulated, I am now officially on the market and looking for love again. I know I like the single life and don't want to get married but that doesn't mean I don't want a girlfriend. So yeah, as Demetri Martin says, "If you can't tell a spoon from a ladle, then you're fat!" (ha, ha, ha).

I have the faith to heal now. I don't quite have the faith to heal this nation, it can go to hell for all I care, but I have the faith to heal myself. As I said in a previous blog post, I am going to go "Full Circle." That means I am going to go from outcast in society to fully accepted. I am going to go from being oppressed by my family to being their ruler. I am going to go from rags to riches, from ugly to good looking again, from average fitness to backed by the sky, from single to having a regular girlfriend, from being a major target to flying under the radar more, from mental health patient to becoming a regular, full-fledged, gun brandishing, US citizen.....from robot to nonrobot. 

Fair warning, some of these things have already happened for me. They will all happen in the future and more, especially the robot to nonrobot healing. Here is a computer game that outlines that particular process  The Great Brain Robbery Game. Apparently, we just need to stop Mi-Gor and Barrelchest from blocking my prayer thoughts (ha, ha, ha, yeah, that is really happening to me now!). And we need to acquire brain tongs! (ha, ha, ha) Geez, no wonder they say computer games are extreme nowdays (ha, ha, ha). 

My problem with the robot i-controllers pushing buttons on me in the sky is they are not just. They are beasts and can't discern a good person from a bad. They are tyrants and endlessly punish people for perceived inadequacies. These peopel are minted and think anyone who is anyone should work a shift job and be minted. 

I can't sleep with these people around, I can't exercise with these people controlling, I can't have sex with these people watching, I can't hardly work nowdays when they electrocute my brain and make me sick and forgetful. Hell, I sometimes can't even think anything positive and spiritual because they try and block those thought processes. 

I can't think of too many things more inhumane than this. These people have been depressing and shutting me down for years. People have to do something about my brain and these i-controllers because we are experiencing a Cold War-like crisis now in the proliferation of this new technology. Yeah, brain surgery is like nuclear arms, it has to be curtailed or else  all humanity is lost! But we can regulate brain surgery just like nuclear weapons are regulated today. There is no need to let these i-controllers focus all their wrath on me now. I am a good person I tell you! 

I just hope people do not buy into the generalized thinking, stereotypes and boxes society creates for us nowdays. Society is not simply serfs, noblemen or royalty. We are not confined to merely being military, worker, business people, farmer, or student etc. The truth is very few real people fit into the cookie cutter professions manipulative people in society create. Instead, most people are "Renaissance Men" and "A Jack of All Trades, Master of None."  Let's try and remember what God told Peter in Acts 10:15, "What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common."

I swear, there are some very narrow minded and sadistic people up there trying to make a "place for everything" and that want "everything in it's place." These peopel are stifling progress and ruining society. They are always trying to put me to sleep whenever I am "on one." 

As Bryan White once observed, "We never really grow up, we only learn how to act in public" (ha, ha, ha). I really wish this wasn't so though. My plea to everyone today is to try and disregard the biased order of things nowadays because oftentimes it is madness and leads to misery and stagnation. People need to abandon their act more and create social chaos. Society will be much more forgiving, fluid, harmonious, robust and fair to all people if we dilligently seek for a "New Order Through Social Chaos" ideal.

When I try to explain how I got to where I am at now I am at a loss for words and can't really explain it it was so complex. It seemed like everything was against me though in my plans to work in the law. I had good intentions but just didn't know how bad the law and society was. My family also had it in for me. I think it was the perfect storm that hit me. 

Yeah, I was in over my head then and pretty much saying this to people in 2008 upon graduating from law school, "If we had a sail we could build a raft and sail to the other side, that is, if we had some logs" (ha, ha, ha). Noone heard me though.

I feel alot like actor Tom Hardy when he explained his career path. He said, "I wanted my Dad to be proud of me and I fell into acting because there wasn't anything else I could do, and in it I found a discipline that I wanted to keep coming back to, that I love and I learn about every day." 

Thank goodness it's clear now that there was a sinister plot laid by peopel in society in past years to undermine students and well-meaning lawyers-- and rob them of their brains! Now how crazy is that thinking? I can hardly believe I'm stating we had a plan like that! Yeah, mormon presidential candidate and lawyer Mitt Romney, was not my friend. But all I can say today is -- look who's laughing now!

Yeah, we have it on the run now, it is afraid. It is actually trying to conceal itself by hiding in my trees. Let's root these moles out though and give them the brain surgery and misery they deserve. 

It feels good to be on top of it now. Whether I acted or was acted upon in my life journey is many people's question of me though. I'm not sure exactly, I suspect it was a little bit of both, but I don't think it is right to harrow people up forever for their past blunders. In the end, my mentality now is to just live and let live. And after all is said and done I think I will probably echo what Jerry Lewis said, "I've had great success being a total idiot" (ha, ha, ha). Ferruccio Lamborghini, the founder of the car company, also shares my sentiments, "I am content, I did what I wanted, and I did it my way."

Since I am on my soapbox today I will complain about one more thing. Now that things are getting safer and more manageable let's not all get snared up in the excessive pursuit of money trap. Whether you have money or don't have much money in life really makes no difference. Ever consider that there is much personal development and self fullfillment found in not dedicating yourself solely to the pursuit of money? Believe me, I know this, I travelled all those paths as a student, missionary and nonprofit lawyer. Ironically, now for me, making money is one of the last mountains I have to climb for self fullfillment. So I am going to be a hypocrite and be doing the exact opposite of my advice to you today (ha, ha, ha). 

My advice to people today is to be content and fair wherever your at and just try and let money come to you. But also remember what Samuel L. Jackson said, "Anybody who tells you money can't buy happiness, never had any" (ha, ha, ha).

A long time ago I once thought I was being jipped by the day but then I woke up and realized just how little I was actually doing to solve the problems in the world. I now try and trust the day more closely on money issues. Most of them are very fair with money and will reward you according to the good you send out. You may not always be rewarded with cash, but remember that they can do all kinds of things to make your phones, cars, houses and appliances last longer. Also, what is the price tag on good health, safety and beauty?  

I like the financial advice contained in this short video clip Principles to Investing. Remember what Arnold Swarzenegger said, "The wolf on the hill is not as hungry as the wolf climbing the hill."  

Speaking of the hill I am climbing in society now, I was wondering if I could ask you people for one small favor. Despite all we have accomplished, despite the triumph in Phoenix, despite the wrap up of Mitt Romney, despite the peace we are establishing, despite my defying all the odds and living safely here in Utah, despite the reduction of my family problems, despite my overall good health, despite all these things................ the mental health doctor, Dr. Mcgaughy, still won't leave me alone! 

I swear this guy is oblivious. We have driven him out of Utah and he is now living in the boon docks of Idaho and Oregon seeking to dictate my mental health treatment from there. When that closes up he will move to Wisconsin. When that closes up he'll move to NYC. 

Remember, when life gives you melons you may have dyslexia (ha, ha, ha). Hell, I'm trying to make friends with the watermelons now and the doctor is ruining all that. I'm frustrated because it looks like I am going to have to fight this doctor all around the country to the bitter end. What makes him so special in our society anyways? I know we are making great progress, it's just that many of these changes haven't trickled down to me yet.

Now I am not insisting we drop my mental health shots altogether at this time. I am not saying we need to end mental health system. I am not asking that we change the gun laws in this country now (although that would be greatly appreciated). I am not saying we need to take all my psychiatrists (there are actually four look-alike Dr. Mcgaughys attacking me now). I am not saying we need to do anything other than paint the psychiatric shot nurses (but continue to paint them bad, they are oblivious too). I am not saying we need to stop the mental health system's economic blackmail of me, their monthly visits, or their access to my internet data and grocery purchases. I am also not saying we need to fight the censorship in this country now and the fact that mental health interferes with all my social affairs and content (but can't we at least build one site that is mental health censorship free? Give MySpace a chance!)

What I AM saying though, is we need to stop the psychiatrist's lab requirements now. I shouldn't have to go into the hospital for yearly lab bloodwork. Dr. Mcgaughy isn't a real doctor, he is a AI tick and psuedoscience freak; he shouldn't be able to prescribe these things. And please note, the workers in the hospital and psychiatrists are now trying to ambush me there -- it is no longer safe to go into Provo Intermountain Health Care or Mountainlands Clinics! 

 

I think after all that has been said and done I would be selling myself way short in making this labwork concession now. I know I'm a second class citizen in this country and I'm tired of fighting it, but I don't think it is my time to die. In fact, I think I have the widespread support I need to take a stand against this requirement and change it. 

The psychiatrists and psychiatric nurses threaten they will call their emergency teams out on me to take me though. They say they will get a warrant from the law for my arrest. They say they will throw me in the mental hospital again for the fourth and likely the last time -- because yeah, they want me so bad I don't think I will be able to survive another stint with that mob of people again. 

But I don't care. Since I am losing either way I figure I might as well die fighting them on this lab requirement. Heck, I will even go so far as to compromise with them and accept a phlebotomist at my house to draw blood if I have to. 

So anyways, these are the songs I am pretty much singing today and I think they are great ones-- SYML, Symmetry song, NF- The Search, and Oliver Anthony, I Want to Go Home.     

I'm writing these things so hopefully you all get a grasp of my situation and the type of peopel I am fighting now. These peopel are obstinate as hell and slower than molasses in the winter time to change. They try and leverage and restrict me on every little point. I am sick of them and need society to stop accepting them and instead put pressure on them so they can't exact their injustices on me so much. Remember what Kurt Vonnegut once said, "Flowers didn't ask to be flowers and I didn't ask to be me."

Changing subjects, and not to be too random, but I wanted to recommend people read this book,"Desert Queen: the extraordinary life of Gertrude Bell, adventurer, advisor to kings, ally to Lawrence of Arabia," by Janet Wallach. This is a great read about a pioneering female archeologist who worked in the middle east. Where To Buy 

I just want to say today that books and language have been so crucial to me throughout my mental health ordeals. Language and particularly indigenous languages, have kept it at bay. If you don't think they are trying to case these people now read this research article. Language Research Studies

But lest anyone think I am totally adverse to science, here is a sample of the type of integrated research and scientific social studies I like. Check out the depth and language in this beauty! I think she is from Texas (ha, ha, ha).  Escaping Capitalism 

It is sad, there is so much lying going on today and false research it is hard to find anything true online. I think we need to do those people who try and rewrite good history books, good scripural books and legitimate scientific studies. The world today is still way too fun for my liking and I want to see more useful, inspiring things written, as illustrated in the Escaping Capitalism paper above. Again, lets continue to support good writing and language. It is so valuable. The pen really is mightier than the sword sometimes.

Also, speaking of fun things. Some of the 14-18 year old kids right now are really hurting. Their parents and grandparents aren't sharing the wealth with them and there is hardly any economic prospects out there now. If we can help them make money somehow that would be good. Maybe we can teach them to make and sell homemade products online or perhaps we could start some salad bar type restaurants to employ these kids. Kneaders and Zupas here in Utah are both bad!

Well, I just want to give my sincere thanks to all those who have shown some interest and endured to the end of this very long Christmas blog post (ha, ha, ha). Thank all those who take it, who organize things, who write, who pay the bills, who rescue, who paint it, who boo the ghosts, and more. It all makes a difference, I'm doing well because of you all. In fact, I know I'd be dead without you. 

Just as a side note, I find it quite amusing to see many of the mental health people that come at me burn up and waste away before my very eyes-- sometimes in only the matter of a few short months! Now I'm not saying it is advantageous to paint like this in every case, but I must say, it does really encourage me! 

Especially thank the people who are doing the painting now. They are on top of it and fulfilling this scripture in Mosiah 3:25: "And if they be evil they are consigned to an awful view of their own guilt and abominations, which doth cause them to shrink from the presence of the Lord into a state of misery and endless torment, from whence they can no more return; therefore they have drunk damnation to their own souls." 

To the sky, I want to pay back all my friends who helped me when I was down. I haven't met all of them personally but you people in the sky know who they are. These people took a gamble in helping me when I had it crawling all over me, hunting my friends, and meddling in all my affairs. Sometimes when you gamble though you win big ha, ha, ha! So again, please pay all these people back for their courage and generosity. Thanks. Merry Christmas to all and have a happy New Year.

Sincerely-  Dallas Hyatt a.k.a The Grinch (ha, ha, ha)

Flogs

 "I'd rather be told an R-rated truth than a G-rated lie." -- Ken Gire  

I'm calling this blog My Daily Flog. Not sure if I am flogging it or getting flogged but it reminds me I gotta fight for what I believe in in this life. Emboldened evil abounds today. The world is becoming increasingly secular. Faith is receding here and in places like Europe. 

Though I am quickly becoming a minority here in the states, I am not going to hide my beliefs and try to blend into society. I am going to speak louder, and reject the world's degenerate trends even if I am the only one doing it and the world calls me mad. That's what I commit to doing when I say I believe in Christ. 

So maybe I will get flogged someday. Jesus said, "Blessed are they who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven." Talk is cheap until the heat is on but I hope I am ready for it. Will I jump on the bandwagon and shrink? Definitely no.

Thanks

 I know people read this blog that help me a lot and I just want to say thanks. I had a scare a while back when I felt like my family was trying to fix me. I want to thank those who responded to that because the threat abated. You all do wonders and I only hope I can help you as much as you have helped me. Thanks again and god bless you all. 

Names

"I do not care how learned a man may be, or how extensively he may have traveled. I do not care what his talent, intellect or genius may be, at what college he may have studied, how comprehensive his views or what his judgment may be on other matters, he cannot understand certain things without the Spirit of God....."  -- Heber J. Grant

Been thinking about Kurt Cobain alot lately. His music was so good it is tragic how he died. Now, I am not getting cold feet or anything, but sometimes I think that like Kurt Cobain, the name I have frames me. It is sadistic people in the sky, my family, the mental health system and other places that want to make me a public spectacle and example. 

I'm sorry I am not going to go that route and get lifted up on the cross just yet. I am thinking I want to change my name now to Aran Ziplman. That is an even less adversarial name, I know. Am I taming down a bit? I don't know, things have just gotten a little too predictive and psychological for me lately. I'm getting smarter and smarter all the time and feel like I could get pigeonholed again. 

I have made a real effort not to get stuck in the rat race and to keep my time open since going to the mental hospital. I suffered from tunnel vision before when I was studying non-stop and working in the law. All I could think about was money and those things. Now I am seeing the big picture and protecting myself from the blindside. I am psychologically stronger now.

So anyway, thanks again to all the people who have helped me and shown me some grace. I needed time to catch up and probably still do, but I must say I am in a lot better situation than I was in ten years ago. 

I look back on that time now and realize I was in a world of trouble. Even today I am finding some of the cars that were after me then!. But God has cut off the arms of all my enemies and today I am almost free as a bird. I probably don't deserve this second chance at life but I am going to make the best of it. 

Remember the prophets are in Jerusalem now. I hope you all are well. God bless.

Wanderers

There is a quote I read a long time ago that I really liked. The quote goes, "Not all those who wander are lost."(JRR Tolkien)  It is a nice saying and well-meaning and you might say I kind of made it a motto for a long time but I am beginning to wonder if I have taken that common wisdom too far. 

Thomas S. Monson in one of his last conference talks, mentioned the Cheshire cat in Alice in Wonderland who said to Alice, "If you don't know where you are going any road can take you there." Elder Uchtdorf jokingly talked about people who wander in circles this last general conference. I have found a few scriptures that talk about wandering--but there's one scripture I read in the Bible about wandering stars and blackness that I'm still trying to understand.

What I am trying to say now is I have been a wanderer all my life. If I have taken it too far call it wanderlust. For certain, I know I haven't taken the shortest routes in life to my goals. I haven't always done the appropriate or conventional thing either. I haven't always done that which would be of the most worth unto me and u in life. I haven't always read the best books or associated with the best people and I have sometimes gone about kind of randomly, although I am trying harder to be focused. 

I feel like I've been like the children of Israel who wandered about in the wilderness for forty years trying to find the promised land. Forty-plus years is a long time not to get it right! 

All I can say now is that I think I'm learning and that I think it is still possible to teach an old dog how to sit, bark and fetch. If I find the bramble rose I think I am looking for now all the grief and time alone will have been worth it. One thing I understand now is there is always going to be opposition to finding your life's love and the truth. It takes righteousness, purity, and great focus to find your love and make it happen. Some of the best things in life are hardest to obtain.  

The 1997 movie Good Will Hunting has a good moral to it. In the movie the central character Matt Damon, finds the perfect girl but almost loses her. His psychologist Robin Williams, counsels him to pursue the things that matter most in life. At the end of the movie you see Matt Damon put aside all his worries about money as well as his pride, anger, social fears and ambitions and drive out to California after the girl. 

I think that movie is the way love really is sometimes. You have to put aside everything that doesn't matter as much and pursue love with all your heart. 

I know in the past I have been distracted from marriage and the things that mattered most in life. I took love and women for granted and probably because of that, I made some foolish educational decisions and things didn't materialize as I would have liked. Now that I'm older and single, I realize my mistakes. I have been left to endlessly ponder and retrace my steps in life. 

In the past I may have even tried to walk away from the truth, kind of like the prophet Jonah did in the Bible - but that is in the past and my conscience won't let me anymore. I can't live with broken dreams and a broken heart any longer. Not even death and the whole damned corrupt and pessimistic world is going to distract me from what matters most in life now. Like in the movie Good Will Hunting, I am going to choose love over everything else. I am excited to see where this new perspective will take me. Thanks for reading and I'll talk to you soon Lafawnda.

The Calm Before the Storm

"Freedom is justice, until there is justice there can be no freedom."  -- Author Unknown

Whew, whoever said there is a calm before the storm knew what they were talking about. Calm is the way things have been these past few months; the last few weeks have been the storm.  Like clockwork, just before the storm hit, I found myself fighting a quiet but fierce battle with complacency. I guess I made the cut with that because the storm passed uneventfully-- but if I had not been doing the right things at the time I think the outcome could have been much different. I just want to thank God for warning me, providing resources to help me and bringing me through it all so quickly.  

President Eyring spoke about being steady in the storms of life this last general conference.  He quoted these scriptures in Timothy and Helaman:

"This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come" and;

"And now, my sons, remember, remember, it is upon the rock of our Redeemer, who is Christ, the Son of God, that ye must build your foundation; that when the devil shall send forth his mighty winds, yea, his shafts in the whirlwind, yea, when all his hail and his mighty storm shall beat upon you, it shall have no power over you to drag you down to the gulf of misery and endless wo, because of the rock upon which ye are built, which is a sure foundation, ....whereon if men build they cannot fall." 

The above is good advice. Prophets like Elder Henry B. Eyring have forewarned me of danger so many times. 

The funny thing is that in this last storm, I was in danger and didn't even know it at first. Yeah, I was being attacked by a cabal of Kishkumen. Kishkumen refers to a particularly bad secret Gadianton robber in the Book of Mormon. The Book of Mormon states that this Kishkumen infiltrated society up to its highest ranks and couldn't be destroyed because he was in "disguise." Kishkumen was a murderer and plotted to overthrow the government and the freedoms of the people. I'm certain he "was among those who professed to belong to the church of God."

Isn't this just the way things are now. As in Kishkumen's time, it is often those who profess to be Christian that are the ones secretly carrying out murder of the worst kind. 

The Kishkumen that was attacking me were mostly women. At first, I was taken away by one of these girl's pretty face, smooth talk, and pizza-loving attitude. It was like she cast a trusting spell upon me and I could see no wrong in her. She was so nice I almost asked her out and couldn't sense or fathom that she was a horrible predator. I gave the girl my phone number not thinking that a while later she would use it to come after me. (But God warned me to change my phone number, though at the time I still didn't comprehend why) 

It was only later that this girl persisted and got into my house and car. She really, really wanted me I guess. This girl had been making a killing in her public business preying mostly on guy customers who walked into her shop. She and her friends were smart, connected, and rich and were murdering in the worst ways- especially good people. I met her high school-age son, and she was even teaching him how to murder his classmates in school. ( Man, how things have changed since my days in school!)

If you think I was being naive in all this, you might be right, but I recommend you to think again about it. These girls were really deceptive, hard to discern, and an awful counterfeit of good. What I have said about them is really what they were. 

I have done some looking and there are quite a few pockets of Kishkumen like this in the state now. If you don't see what I am seeing now, but still believe me, I advise you to flee to the West. Secret combinations are coming upon the land and coming from the East. Just about everywhere is dangerous these days. 

I just want to give a special thank you to some of my Poly friends who helped me with this problem. I think they too felt and saw these girls for what they were. I read this scripture recently, "Thus saith the Lord God to Tyrus, shall not the isles shake at the sound of thy fall, when the wounded cry, when the slaughter is made in the midst of thee?" (Ezekiel 26)

Yeah, the "slaughter"  I'm referring to was warranted. As the Book of Mormon states, it "would not have happened had it not been for the wickedness and abominations which was among them; yea, and it was among those who professed to belong to the church of God." (see Helaman 4:11-13)

So anyways, I feel glad to be alive and want to again, send out my thanks to all my friends everywhere. This was a really bad mess of them but they are done now. I know I opened up the gate with this one but these people really needed to be taken out. I must say, I picked a good little nest of them to openly start my personal career in civil law. (ha, ha, ha) This wasn't just low-hanging fruit, it was upper echelon. These people were really corrupt.

Also, this all was bound to happen to me sometime. So yeah, my days of not looking or tolerant indifference are now over. Like Bon Jovi, I am now wanted, dead or alive .... and on a steel horse I ride ha, ha, ha. Mental health authorities here have been upset at me for this incident and some have even been trying to break me recently-- but I really hope they will learn to look over this. I swear, some of them don't want to see me do anything to protect myself! 

I just want to say now, regardless of what mental health authorities decide to do,  I am going to get through this, one way or another. I know that many people have gotten on the bus early and I really appreciate that. 

Well, I hope you all are well. All I can think to say now is be safe, slow your roll and talk to ya later. Thanks for reading and take care.

Some Random Thoughts

"The only reason for time is so that everything doesn't happen at once." -- Albert Einstein

The older I get the wiser I get and the more I realize money does very little for a man but corrupt him. Money will not buy you the most important information in life, i.e. the knowledge gained from the spirit. Money will not buy you good judgment. Money will not buy you health and help you choose the right food to eat in the grocery store. Money will not buy you true love or friendship or real happiness and any power you get from money is usually fleeting. Psalms 49 talks about another important aspect:

"Wherefore should I fear in the days of evil, when the iniquity of my heels shall compass me about? They that trust in their wealth, and boast themselves in the multitude of their riches; None of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God ransom for him."  

So again, to have wealth is alright but it's important not to fall into the trap of trusting in your wealth. Wealth does not really save anyone from bondage or death-- God is over those things. Being led by the spirit and being able to look up and address the problems you encounter is far more important than money in a ransom-type situation. I also agree with what Malcolm Forbes says, "Security isn't securities. It's knowing someone cares whether you are or cease to be." 

History is replete with examples of those who put their trust in money and their own strength and built up kingdoms and empires and fortresses unto themselves. But God eventually toppled them all. The best advice for surviving the inevitable perilous situations we will all face is not to get more money, but instead, to be right with God. He can do miraculous things to save us. 

Remember that if you do die, and die in the Lord, death is made sweet and the sting of death is swallowed up in Christ. Does that mean you won't feel the sting of torture if you're tortured? I don't know, I think that is possible. That's one reason why I'm saying let's not get caught up in wealth and in what we have or don't have, and lose track of the things that matter most in life. 

I like the country song by Don Williams called "Stay Young." The whole song is great and I recommend you listen to it all, but the chorus goes, "Stay young keep your wheels in motion, you've got everything that you need. Stay young with your rock and rolling, oh, the best things in life are free." 

Yeah, the best things in life really are free. A testimony of Jesus Christ is free. The scriptures are free. Good food is free for all who find it. Good music is practically free. The list goes on and on. 

Changing directions, I did a keyword search on the Drudge Report recently for the word "China." I must say, if you don't believe in China or have doubts about their engagement in the world just read those article titles. China has been strategizing and is a huge 4.75 billion man force to be reckoned with!  I think China has some important help for us Americans. Let's encourage China and other parts of Asia such as the Phillipines, to stay strong and not corrupt.

On another note, I believe in the Church of Jesus Christ, but more than half of the Utah Latter-Day Saint church is bad now. They are pedos and shrinks and rapists and hypocrites of the worst kind. They can all go to hell for all I care. And many of them are-- they're wasting away from drugs like crazy.

Zion on the other hand is going to flourish. "I say unto you that Zion shall flourish, and the glory of the Lord shall be upon her; and she shall be an ensign unto the people, and there shall come unto her out of every nation under heaven. And the day shall come when the nations of the earth shall tremble because of her, and shall fear because of her terrible ones." (D&C 64: 41-43)

Speaking of terrible ones, have you heard that Trump is leading the Republican primary polls with 64% of the vote! Mitt Romney is running again but I think he is just in it for the money. He doesn't stand a chance. When asked about running for president in 2024 Romney said: "I'm convinced if I run, I win. But that is a decision I'll make." (ha, ha, ha)  

We have come a long way since the beginning of the recession when Romney was second running for president.  Let's thank Trump for all his hard work, I think he is the best and most dominant president this nation has ever had. He is a champion, he is my retribution.
