 "Barcelona, then, was a Catalonian Pyongyang: and it is important to recall that Orwell approved of it. At this stage of his development, he was an enthusiastic totalitarian, and the shallowness of his belief that such uniformity was a triumph for freedom and equality is rather startling in a man who, a very few years later, was to be the greatest literary scourge of totalitarianism in the world."
Hanania:
President of the University of Chicago with the best statement yet on the protests: “I believe the protesters should also consider that an encampment, with all the etymological connections of the word to military origins, is a way of using force of a kind rather than reason to persuade others… those violating university policy should expect to face disciplinary consequences.”
"It seems like you're saying, 'we want to be revolutionaries, we want to take over this building, now would you please bring us some food'."

Here's Columbia University President's letter. It's embarassingly limp and mealy-mouthed.
I have two degrees from that excellent university, so I care. Here's what I would have written, were I in her shoes:
Dear Members of the Columbia Community,
As of today anyone who disrupts our educational mission will be arrested by the NYPD, and expelled. Students and and parents have spent a lot of time and money to receive what we have to offer, and it is our job to provide that.
If anyone decides that disruptive protesting is more important than learning in our excellent institution, they should do it elsewhere.
Sincerely,
Columbia University President Bird Dog

How We Got to 'Death to America' in Dearborn
Saturday, April 6. 2024
Aw it's so hard lately to get anything done. Took 2 weeks to prepare taxing prep and set with the accountant. Finally completed it all by 4/5 but required TONS of working to prep.
We won't be getting much home, but we did discover several things we'd lost along the way. The only thing I'm still struggling with is why my tax accountant won't announce the $12,000 stolen from a previous recruitment account where someone had figured out a path into it - and FBI and local Police have that information on papers. But supposedly it's not available as a write off for payments so he won't claim this. I do not understand how or why the government wouldn't allow people to claim stolen income loss. It's remarkable or he's bad - but he's very good and sent the data. So I'm not sure what I need to do.
I am done radiology and chemo on 4/15. By 4/22 I'll be back at work at my office again for at least 2 week, then a vacation set first full week in May down on Bahamas...so I am looking forward to the return with work again and my new treatment.
I received yet ANOTHER article by a Canadian doctor doing a lot of cancer treatment using Ivermectin. I do not know 100% that the link from Covid Vaccines is playing the role - but I have been reading more and more supporting this potential that is NOT being reviewed or studied. So much so, several AI sources were removing legitimate articles making the claim - I found this odd and sent AI restrictions and was told it was designed to end "lies" yet none of these were proven as lies. This latest one further leads a bit to options - I am NOT SAYING THESE ARE TRUTHFUL FIXES and real. But they are highly supportive so far if a larger group will begin to look into and address all this. Here is an example of someone is trying to utilize - I am not selling this as 100% legitimate. I am saying it is possible and is not being reviewed. My view is many potential options are deliberately being ignored and quieted.
I am getting healthier, however, as radiology ends down I am slipping to some misspelling and word shortages from time to time. My apologies. It was warned by my doctor and my speech therapy treater. It's not long lasting - just temporary short issues of brain intact from radiology. I have had up and down days. The main item - one great day with trips in to NYC to see friends for 5-6 hours, then very tired and troubled the next day...
Reality is my meeting with my Pastor was very nice and our conversations have been growing. I do not fully buy into my Catholic past, but it is still very good and how I grew up. I'm not specializing overall for myself. I am wide open - and I will handle well shared comments and views.
I wish I could go out and do more. I will remention that my plan is to buy tickets for the English Beat and Adam Ant concert tomorrow. Hoping I continue to feel well enough. As I mention, I had quite the list of titles from my visit to several concerts in 1983 in London. I do miss that era. I covered quite a bit back then...so I will cover many now if I can.
By the way - reminder - view "Defending Your Life" - one of my favorite Albert Brooks great ones. I feel it treats how I approach my own situation now...

A lot of people seem to have forgotten about the war in Ukraine. That’s a mistake.
