Subject: Whoops!
I just realized I never attached the link to the video I meant to send.
OK… second try…. at least it should be in time for next week’s jottings!

Is this still the right place to send Jottings submissions? I haven’t sent any for a while and have forgotten. Might be good to add a tag line at the bottom of the notes for folks!
I wanted to say (in reference to society/government vs. the Catholic Church): Don’t EVER let anyone tell you your “tin-foil hat is too tight.” Do you have ANY idea how often I got told that in the 90s and early 2000s when I warned east coast bar owners and casino honchos that the Antismokers would ban smoking in their places? Heh… I got laughed at more than Jay Leno! And just as I warned them, step by step, slicing away at Mussolini’s Freedom Salami, that’s the way things get lost.
And here’s something some of the Jaspers (at least any who knew me) might enjoy: a video of me after giving a presentation this Spring at the Hague! :) If you’re not into the subject matter but are just curious about what I look like 37 years after graduating I appear at about the 8 and a half minute point and then pop in and out till the end.

Also, here I am in a 15 minute interview on the Mike McConnell show from Chicago:
So I’ve been keeping busy!
Peace be with thee John!

Hi MJMcF73,
This is the right place. Among many.
Everyone tells me I’m a raving loon who sees JBTs (jack booted thugs) around every corner. I think I am sane. But that “We, The People” have just lost our collective minds. I keep seeing example after example of corruption (i.e., the Louisiana Purchase, the Cornhusker Kickback, and the normal “logrolling” in Congress). I see very simple questions, like the Birth Certificate, that are covered up and glossed over. (Why would some one spend millions of dollars to conceal their paper history?) And, I know that certain historical events have explanations that are pure “barbara streisand”! (i.e., Wilson got us into WW1 using the Lusitania which was carrying munitions; FDR either started or induced the Japanese to attack Pearl Harbor; Waco; Ruby Ridge; TWA 880 over the LI Sound). And that’s just off the top of my head. Maybe my tin foil hat is on too tight?
And, don’t get me started on the loss of freedoms, the taxes, and Gooferment spending.
I just shake my head at how far we have fallen. If you believe the Gooferment statistics, and they’d NEVER fudge the numbers, by their own stats: we have fallen to 12th globally in education; umpty umph in freedom; there’s no inflation yet my costs go up all the time it seems, and there is Gooferment spending galore with a healthy dose of unfunded liabilities.
And, I’m the one with the tin foil hat?
I’ll enjoy the videos later. I’m off to the hospital to do battle with the medical establishment who wants to throw the boomerang (i.e., discharge my wife), who hasn’t yet put two good days of number in the last ten. But it will all be better under Obamacare! Another topic, not to get me started on!!!
L8R, thanks again for the content, it’s hard to pull together material for the weekly mailing, although the daily blog makes it much easier. Dona Nobis …
