While looking through the drafts for items to delete, I came across an idea I had based on something that happened many years ago. It was only a title, and I converted it into this post. It turns out that the subject matter has already, recently, been converted into a short story! That, you may get to see one of these days.

As it turns out, I have another short work of fiction which you’ll get to read on October 1st – also based, very loosely, on a true story. It was written for a dedicated audience and was well received as “fun and refreshing.” In fact, those same words have been used by multiple advance reviewers. You’ll know it when you see it.

Also: Dr. Ironsides and the rest of the cast – those you know and those you’ve never heard of – have not been idle…

Clearing the Drafts – Progress

So far I’ve taken out what about half of the stock we had in inventory. Many, I just deleted. Most of what’s left are either notes for something else, works in progress which need full attention, and a few that need further consideration. Accomplishment.

UPDATE: I’ve scheduled a few more to post this weekend.

FP UPDATE: I kind of have the links for the rest of 2018 scheduled. And, I have a Happy 2019 post readied for January. That … may be either the end (or near the end) of FP. Not sure. It’s been fun and profitable but all good things…

TPC UPDATE: We’ve only just begun.

***Note*** I’ve got a lot of drafts sitting around, some in existence and unpublished since 2013. It became obvious to me that I’m in no hurry to get around to them. But, they’ve survived various draft purges over the years. If they’re that important I can just come back and elaborate later. For now, I offer them, kind of as-is, in this, a lightning publishing round. The fun will continue while supplies last. Make of these what you will. Or not. I don’t care.

They ain’t for you!

But they exist. Maybe more on this later. Or not.

A notion I originally had in law school. Politics is like bodybuilding: everything works but nothing works for long. Make of it what you will:

My crazy idea for a Jedi-like body to block the illegalities of the 3 branches of our existing Republic.  How it would work and why it wouldn’t work for long…

For nearly six years, this post – a title only – sat around the drafts. Daddy loved Horton and so do I. If you’ve never listened, you’re missing out. If you’re in America, you listen, and don’t like it, then you’re in the wrong country. Hell, he even explains the proper way to say A-Mer-I-Ca!

The purpose, the only legitimate purpose, of a government, is to protect the rights of its citizens.  The U.S. government has delegitimized itself by committing crime after crime against the People, here and everywhere else.  I think this will be the first of a long series on the American government’s crimes against the People.  I picked MK Ultra because it is so shocking and because most people have never heard of it.

That’s what I had five and a half years ago. I have had a series, of sorts – maybe not as organized as I had envisioned. The good news is that in that time I’ve noticed an uptick in the number of citizens aware of the evil. MKU was back in the news (ongoing ops) and back on this site last Saturday. And, I’ve mentioned it before – not that that seemed to help.

Okay, I wrote the “questionable” title over two years ago – and nothing else. You all know my thoughts on social media in general and FB in especial. Just another chance to say, “Fvck Facebook.” Done.

Another post of title only. Maybe it’s better this way. Few can recall.

The other day I strolled the halls of an elementary school, a relic from the ’50s or ’60s. By the library, on the wall, the local Rotarians or someone had once built a shrine to law and liberty, old America-style. I admired it for what it was. However, I noticed two things – at the least – were missing. One was the Magna Carta. Its exclusion was understandable; resort to lex 1215 AD is kind of like keeping a Diplodocus at the zoo. What’s the point.

However, also absent were the Articles of 1781, also leaning towards the ancient. For the recent “refugees,” the tattooed, and other neo-American trash, this was the original founding federal document, sandwiched between the Declaration and the Constitution. It was in keeping with the former, vastly superior to the latter. And, today, forgotten.

Oh well.

Read, if possible, for yourselves.
