JESUS: GIVING

The Atlantic Excerpt from ideas making computers

The idea was to partition formal languages into multiple levels or types. Each level could make reference to levels below, but not to their own or higher levels. This resolved self-referential paradoxes by, in effect, banning self-reference. (This solution was not popular with logicians, but it did influence computer science — most modern computer languages have features inspired by type theory.)

Compare: Living Flame of Love, Fray John of The Cross, 16th Century Discalced Carmelite Mystic, edited by E. Allison Peers, (Doubleday Image Books, 1962).

Uniting of Kingdoms: One True Kingdom of God Consumes All Others

Say among the heathen that the LORD reigneth: the world also shall be established that it shall not be moved: he shall judge the people righteously.--Psalms 96:10
And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand forever.--Daniel 2:44
And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying 'The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.'--Revelation 12:15

Beware The Elites Before The Savior #malachi2

 Therefore have I also made you contemptible and base before all the people, according as ye have not kept my ways, but have been partial in the law.--Malachi 2:9

Larry Kudlow @CNBC: The remedy may be worse for the patient than total disregard for the virus.

#ConstitutionalRights and globalism. Do we have a free press problem? If people on media and social media are lying, what are the characteristics of a lie where it is criminal? "Fire in a theater." yes. "Fighting words." Yes. "Stock manipulation." "The remedy may be worse thanIT

"Nibbling" is the perfect recipe for short-sellers because they need a point to sell short off or cover short and short some more. See #Enron. I nibbled. #EnronTaskForce

Also, when there are buyers, the shorts can continue to short. Throw more people in jail? Doesn't seem to help.

Look at Milken, he's done the foundation thing.

Call the Devil, conjure him unwittingly with an incantation...

He will show his eminence. It's a large domain, but his is the silver lining and not the whole picture.

Cecilia Vega, like so many other women, has a "thing" for Trump. #abc7eyewitness #CBSLA #FoxNews @MSNBC

Obsession?

"That's our job."

"Okay. And I can't comment about that? I didn't go to Stanford either but I can't comment about Stanford now?"

More "News" on the "Newspeople" #StockBuybacks #InsiderTrading is not per se illegal.

Burr told a group of NC donors about it and promptly sold up to 1.6 million in stock. Insider trading anyone?

For instance Cecilia Vega of Channel 7 on reporting news subject.

I've been an actor that gets cut out of films after the first run. I remember I was a reporter in the film Traffic by Stephen Soderbergh that got edited out.  I was a sports agent in Eddie Murphy's Life that was edited out after the first run. My face was 30 feet across the Chinese Theater main theater screen as a security guard in a post 9/11 Diet Pepsi commercial.

Cut!

Dichotomy at UC Berkeley (used to be called "Cal"):

Now that I can "leave" on "vacation" I "can't" (or can I go to the wilderness on vaca?) Vacaville, where my fourth lover and my father ended up working or dying.
Should I go alone to Tahoe? Santa Barbara? Newport Beach definitely won't want me there. I am thinking again a'bout Kobe and Gianna Bryant, how it was really the end of the American Dream. #EastOfEden by John Steinbeck. The end of the spectrum is gold. Kobe and the Bryants, let's remember they may be golden family like Kennedy's.

No Need to Put U.S. Attorneys [and former U.S. Attorneys] in jail. #ContemptuousBeasts

#consolidate #togetherstronger Days of Consolation, Desolation, Isolation and Consolidation. We arrive stronger by resting longer. #Discipline & #Training essential. I would plug a religious channel but Ron Reagan has a point. Clarity.

The Boy Next Door (Barbara Curry, 2015) Interesting dialogue from a former U.S. Attorney from Los Angeles.

My wife Lucia says the young interloper reminds her of Marlon Brando in his youthful performances in Alfred Hitchcock Presents and when he wears hats, military or gangster/biker.

One cannot live like this, with the mafia breathing down your neck or laying in wait over the next time you feel it...just over your shoulder... .

Scripture and Order of the Mass Writers #RubensRhetoric is one of my styles. @POTUS does it well. Influence unlike a journalist. Become the story. #JesusChrist

Gifts of scholarship have survived. Let's explore other avenues of faith.

I'm reading Living Flame of Love by St. John of the Cross, edited by E. Allison Peers from 1962 paperback. It sold for $1.95 back then. I got it for the same price last year. Put some scotch tape on the bindings. Maybe I'll out live it.

Learn a foreign language:

In prison, in school, in the hospital, at church, in the priory...foreign languages are everywhere. Manila, Philippines.
