I agree with caveats. In the college environment “birds of a feather” tend to flock together. That’s where I met many, if not most, of my best and lifelong friends. Granted it was through world-wide travels where I discovered many more and highly interesting friends, cultures and business opportunities. To say that you won’t encounter and meet interesting friends in college is somewhat shortsighted. And, for the record I believe in what you’re doing, having done it myself decades ago. I wish I could convince my 21 year-old son to do the same. Every path has it pros and cons. I wouldn’t change the path I’ve taken. I’ve personally always taken a different path but now I sometimes feel lost and wonder where the hell I am.

I just spent 6 days in the "bigger" jail. My pod of 25 sole occupant cells was waiting for the one white guy to arrive, me. This is a long time, especially as my false accuser was seemingly smug as I was taken away & Scarf bit his second cop. He's still alive.

I've spent more than a month in Tent Jail in Arizona. & been in "little prisons" the larger county jails aplenty. So the thing people forget is all the stress going up to court date especially if they kick it forward another month like last time. Not my stress about the outcome of being Declared Innocent, it's the people around me that can't shake the fears that the liars will somehow win.

This morning I read an email I received the night before I went to the klink. "You are going to jail." Sent to me 30 hours (1 day) before I went.

Well that pretty much is enough proof for me, that person is no longer on the platform either. Trying to get Minds to confirm that her account was a new account or an old account, well, waiting. Waiting.

6 days with 24 blacks and hispanics & s. americans all in for felonies greater than kicking back in the little country club county jail. Lockdowns were announced & enforced. The threat of violence quite real toward me. By actions not merely words. Making sure my food wasn't poisoned or dirtied -- that taught me some cuisine tricks that none of them had seen.

I don't phone, bank etc. However check this out: "Honor" is the chief facet of personality in the midst of captured "thieves". I do have this lap top & the west coast evening is my noon.

I keep thinking I've already stated that I'd like you to interview me while it's fresh & raw.

One Friday when I was released I was watching your dad & Mr. Have Gun Will Travel interview a guest, except I was typing my first gush response. Copied that to a few places to make sure it got recorded, without editing. I've done that to a number of posts, & pull the correspondence of recall -- put rather than pull -- onto my Minds posts in 5,000 character limits, so 4 pages is probably a little less than 4,000 words, i use large words. I now have 3 of these, each different while typing listening to different people. The one written while listening to S2 Underground (that's an Intelligence Military rank "S2") is very much written from a different perspective than the investment mindset I had on your dad's show. Where the realization that I'm not getting those 6 days or the 2 last year back. & with no recompense. I know Cryfaith Hywel Welsh law better than maritime admiralty so by myself I don't have the basic knowledge to sue them for LIFE HOURS owed back by the police who arrested me based on my guilt. Then the 3rd one I wrote which was short because the show was short but I typed in silence for a good bit after it ended was an anarchist show that the panel was reviewing the week's overt dismantling of olicracy into Sadeocracy.

ENOUGH. that was 18 minutes. Listening to https://youtu.be/r9pEWpkPfxc?si=mnRJJ-RD0VZiK1Nh . 3:22 am.

I've read these last 3 posts of yours backwards, saving you for last of clearing my week of missed emails. & Character I want to address this specifically, now. Forgive the pamphlet please.

back 3:25 am D&D the older versions, 3.5 but especially 1st & 2nd, I always take my characters & translate them forward or regress newer editions even 5th, to each previous edition sometimes to then make a comparison to playable power.

I've made updates to translating my own life into D&D terms. Starting as Ranger, becoming a Paladin, becoming a Wizard, & back to Rangering again. These stack.

The podmates by the 5th day were of divided opinion about me. The guys that wanted whitey dead would whisper at meal times, "duh wyt samurai does..." as if their slur was not being thoroughly enjoyed behind my Lake Placid skating rink eyes. The others just called me by my first name until they realized I can't hear that name anymore after all my years driving, hint hint.

Then when one called me 25, my cell #, & the quick ferocity I turned & told the guard next to him, stepping up, in a bene gesarit command tone AT the guard "never a number." After that I was "Hey! thus&such is happening". Discipline allows me to keep my character, not don a character, nor shed. Discipline is consistent, and Character is persistent, lasting as intended well beyond encounters or interactions. Discipline demonstrates reliance, & Character defines how others will approach you to be reliable.

Thank you kindly if you noticed this. 3:40, & have to go on Prayer Patrol for the Neighborhood Watch. I had to wait past 3 because Scarf was on house arrest/quarantine until the 8th midnight California time to be safe, since I know that the drones are quite.

°Cherishº is the new love, be well.

May the progenitor (the Goth radio just stopped) of all hereafters nod to ward thee & thine!

3:51 this all copied now

something around 1000 [?] words. Never say you are sorry, always apologize.

Sorry's are for girls wanting to abuse love.

I apologize if this was untoward, I just don't know how many people you've met that don't carry.

"Then, those good and interesting people will come your way."

What's also just as likely, is that the vipers come out and destroy you and everything you were working on and then salt the earth so that it is 1000 times more difficult, or even impossible, to pick yourself up and rebuild or pivot and try something new.

Not saying your message is not good and true, but it's also important to have a healthy dose of paranoia & guile concealed in the back of your mind to protect yourself.
