"No Such Agency - Project TEMPEST" - Absurdist Fiction by Gregory Vanderlaan

Chapter Zero: 
In Fact, It is possible to use a Specially Designed Radio to Read the Words on Other People's Computers. Eavesdropping. Spying. The US Military and I Spent a Lot of time and effort keeping our communications secure. The NSA has Recently Declassified Project TEMPEST and it is NO LONGER a Felony for Me to tell my Tale. 

Looking back at those years when Ronald Reagan was President It seems to me that we really didn't need to fight the Russians and the "Cold War" was just a Marketing Tool of the Military Industrial Complex. However, I was glad to take the money being handed out by the Pentagon. And as my Dad Said, While you are Busy Questioning Authority, be sure to Take the Money... What IF you are wrong and you missed out on all that dough?

But Then... I started hanging Out in Lafayette Park across from the White House and talked to all those NO NUKES! & Anti-War Demonstrators and... My Attitude changed... The next time I got laid off from a defense job I started working in the engineering department of the US Postal Service... It was a much better feeling to work all day DOING GOOD instead of DOING EVIL... We designed machines that Sold Postage Stamps and Sorted Mail... That's Morally OK...

Did you ever stop to realize that real eyes see real lies?

"OMG!" Said Susan, "I'm Talking as if I was Texting! WTF!!!!" - "Relax" said Bob "It's only the lingering effects of your (~);-} training. - "Wow," said Susan "I never heard (~);-} pronounced before... It reminds me of a Story... " 

Chapter One:
We were sitting around the conference table at the office playing cards when Major P*** J****, USAF, Ret. looked at me and said: "Greg, never sort your cards by suit in numerical order. When you played the King of Hearts, I can Deduce that the next card over is the Ace... Now, give me all your money. " I said: "Uh, Thanks, Major J**** I'll remember to never gamble with you again. A Valuable Lesson! Cheap!" See? all those hours, days and weeks he spent working for the Military with no actual tasks Paid OFF! He learned to play cards.

We were in the office that had no windows on Highway 123 in McLean, Virginia... and then... The Key Generator [Western Digital DES] spit out today's code word: [52 bits] MUGWUMP420(~);-} Bob smiled and looked at Betty. She winked, nodded at the door. They Ran Like Hell out of the Office Park in McLean. A short drive later they were at Dulles Airport. Bob said: "Well, We are Inter-State Felons Now... Soon to be Inter-National and then... Inter-Galactic! She said: "Got your laptop, Zippy?" Yes, transferring funds Now... Transfer Complete... Donald Trump is now Penniless and we are Rich, Rich, Rich beyond our wildest dreams! "qoeikurjghfnpo2m84bvsygern777maohbesytgdferwq***" [cyphertext]

Chapter Two: The scene: A Jamaican Resort. While sipping ice cold fruity beverages they surfed the internet... "I see that our bank robbery has caused a global economic collapse." said Bob. "Whatever." said Betty. "Hand me the bong. So What if all the Money has vanished? Our Neighbors here on the Island have been living without Money for Generations... Have you ever really listened to the lyrics of 'Electric Avenue' by Ed Grant - He says he can't afford a single thing they show on TV. What about Saint Francis of Assisi? He got by without a Billion Dollars in the bank... WhatEVER... And I Mean That In The Most Sincere Way... or something...

Susan Said: Hey! I see that the Gotterdammerung Market in Walla-Walla Washington is having a Sale! Let's GO! Half Off Women's Clothes... I wonder which half? Topless or Bottomless? I need some GNU Clothes... Sure, I spend most days in a Bikini Atoll but at Knight it Getz Chili. Please? Pretty Please? You could buy some of that 'Dutch Queen' Cannabis [over 30% THC] and some Cookies... Cookies! Open Sesame Street and Delete some Cookies, restart Browser. "

Bob thought for a moment, What If they took some of those stolen Millions of Dollars and took a Vacation to Space Needle Park in Seattle? The Experience Music Project is Calling... Can You Hear IT? The Jimi Hendrix Experience Music Project That Is... Swimming Pools, Movie Stars. Come and listen to a story 'bout a man named JIMI... "Jose. Can You See? Byda Dawnz Earl E.

http://who.ru/ Who Are You? Is who.ru a fan website for Russians who like Pete Townshend? KNOW The truth and it will set you free... CIA Motto. From Zugzwang to Zeitgeist.

Chapter Three: Bob & Betty dunked Their Cookies at the Zeitgeist Coffee Shop located where the AMTRAK Train crosses the Monorail in Seattle. Then... They walked out onto the street where it was Friday Night at 5:00 PM on the First Hot Day of Spring. The office workers were exploding out of the buildings and making dates to go to the WATER. Boating, Swimming, Dancing Nude around a Campfire... Puget Sound Bound.

An electric guitar player was shredding NERVE ANNA songs... and then... Bob had to pee... No place to go so he simply pissed in his pants... All "Public" restrooms closed... Members Only! However, on Two Cannabis Cookies, Who Cares!

and then... Our Heros found a story within a story...

A Million Years in the Future...

The guard was looking at the pool of atomic waste... he wondered, what if I figured out a way to dispose of this Depleted Uranium... That would be wonderful... And as he stood there he thought... just as his father had done, and his grandfather, and his great grandfather, great-great-great back through the millions of years they had been standing guard... But he had no idea... so he stood there and guarded the atomic waste and trained his son to be a guard... maybe my son will find the answer...

TO BE CONTINUED... A BILLION YEARS IN THE FUTURE...

and then... Our Heros found a story within a story...

Eureka Peace March review:

There was a new flavor to this event this year. There were many more people from all walks of life instead of just classic hippie peaceniks. Businessmen in suits, high school kids organizing, mothers of soldiers, veterans and patriots that wanted to reclaim the flag and sing "America the Beautiful". The best speaker was Cobb, green party candidate for president 2004. He was calling for civil disobedience. His view was that since marches and letter writing campaigns are being totally ignored, we need to up the ante by getting arrested... He scheduled a meeting with volunteer lawyers and activists but I did not write down where it was because I will not be doing that. My feeling is that if people want to do that, great, but I don't care enough. I still feel that the solution is biodiesel and ethanol. Simply reduce the need for oil and all those Middle Eastern countries become insignificant. Since the majority of the people in the USA feel that the war in Iraq was a mistake and the majority of the people feel that Bush is doing a bad job as president, our peace movement needs to include people that made the error of voting for Bush without making them feel bad by saying "I told you so"...

Why do we love Eureka, California ?

Well, the people here are TALENTED, GOOD LOOKING AND SMART.

Some people are EASILY FOOLED and can be Mislead by US Government Propaganda... But Not the People of Eureka ! We refused to believe the Lies told by the Evil BusH. We have Had Huge turnout of protesters at all of the Peace Marches... 3,000 people showed up to protest the insane War in IRAQ before it even started... That's about 10% of the total population... Nobody believed the hoax of WMD nor the NIGERIAN YELLOWCAKE forgeries... Phoney-Baloney CIA Intel reports FOOLED the Chumps that work in the US Congress.


There are two REQUIRED parts to the Lies our 'resident tells... In order for the deception to work, not only does he have to tell the lies but GULLIBLE FOOLS have to BELIEVE THE LIES TOLD TO THEM. Here in Eureka, we say "Shame on you Mr. 'Resident, SHAME ON YOU"

Lyrics to "Oasis" by Greg Vanderlaan [soon to be a Music Video]

[E] Ride across the desert on a thousand horses.
Swords flashing in the Sun so very [NC] proud.
Ride 'till the sun turns your tongue to ashes.
Drink deep of water drawn from 'neath the [NC] ground.

and she [F/E] waits for him patiently...
under the palm tree...
She waits 'though she cannot tell you why... [2X]

[D] Far away from the city
There [C] lives a girl.
She draws water from the [D] sand.

[D] Under a lonesome palm tree
she [C] rests her body
and there she waits for her [D] man.

[D] He rides a camel thru the desert
and [C] dreams of cool water
an Oasis never close at [D] hand.

[D] Oh will he ever find her?
His [C] Arabian princess
and will she lead him to the land?
[D] A land of many sorrows 
of [C] Sun and Death, companion to the [D] band.
The Desert will never Answer
Though [C] tears we cry, so we get by the best we [D] can...

[E] Ride across the desert on a thousand horses.
Swords flashing in the Sun so very [NC] proud.
Ride 'till the sun turns your tongue to ashes.
Drink deep of water drawn from 'neath the [NC] ground.

and she [F/E] waits for him patiently...
under the palm tree...
She waits 'though she cannot tell you why... [2X]

When I went to West Valley Junior College I Took a Class in Architectural Scale Model Building. I took Blueprints of a Cabin my Father was having built on North Shore, Lake Tahoe and Built an Accurate Scale Model of it. Dad showed it to his friends and clients... Just to explain what he was having Built... In Retrospect, THAT would have been an EPIC Career... Building Models... Mostly the Professional Career Path was building Models of Oil Refineries... as a way to CHECK if the design was accurate... much cheaper to find errors on a Model than actually build the real thing and find out, OOPS! ---- During the Free time I Had Between Classes I went to the Library and Drew Pictures, Cartoons, Designs ART... while wearing Headphones... My Favorite was 'Whole Lotta Love" by Led Zeppelin... Astonishing on Headphones because of a lot of Left-Right Ping Ponging and Phase-Shifter Effects on the Drums... Try it!

Marijuana Support Grows: Two Out Of Three Americans Back Legalization, Gallup Poll Says in 2019 - Tax it. Regulate It. Use the Money to Fund Treatment for Opioid Addicts Instead of FOR PROFIT PRISONS...

The latest finding, from the recently released General Social Survey by NORC at the University of Chicago, shows that 61 percent of people supported marijuana legalization in 2018. That’s up from 57 percent in 2016 and 31 percent in 2000 — a rapid shift in public opinion in less than two decades.
The other two big national surveys on the topic have found similar results. Gallup put support for marijuana legalization at 66 percent in 2018, up from from 60 percent in 2016 and 31 percent in 2000. Pew put it at 62 percent in 2018, up from 57 percent in 2016 and 31 percent in 2000.

The new survey released on Monday shows that U.S. adults back ending cannabis prohibition by a supermajority margin of 66 percent to 32 percent. That's more than a two-to-one ratio.

[Verse 1]
Oh Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz
My friends all drive Porsches, I must make amends
Worked hard all my lifetime, no help from my friends
So Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz

[Verse 2]
Oh Lord, won't you buy me a color TV
Dialing For Dollars is trying to find me
I wait for delivery each day until three
So oh Lord, won't you buy me a color TV

[Verse 3]
Oh Lord, won't you buy me a night on the town
I'm counting on you, Lord, please don't let me down
Prove that you love me and buy the next round
Oh Lord, won't you buy me a night on the town

by Julia Ward Howe (words) and William Steffe (music).

G
Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord,
      C                                       G
He is trampling out the vineyards where the grapes of wrath are stored.
                                             Em
He hath loosed the fateful lightning of His terrible swift sword.
    Am       D        G
His truth is marching on.

G                          C                    G
Glory! Glory, hallelujah!  Glory!  Glory, hallelujah!
                   Em         Am       D        G
Glory! Glory, hallelujah! His truth is marching on!

G
I have seen Him in the watch-fires of a hundred circling camps,
          C                             G
They have build-ed Him an altar in the evening dews and damps.
                                         Em
I can read His righteous sentence by the dim and flaring lamps.
    Am     D        G
His day is marching on.

G
He has sounded forth the trumpet that shall never sound retreat,
          C                           G
He is sifting out the hearts of men before His judgement seat.
                                        Em
O be swift, my soul, to answer Him!  Be jubilant, my feet!
    Am     D        G
Our God is marching on.

G
In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born across the sea,
       C                             G
With a glory in His bosom that transfigures you and me.
                                   Em
As He died to make me holy, let us live to make men free,
      Am     D        G
While God is marching on.

I missed The Doors, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, Nirvana, Joni Mitchell, Woodstock, Monterey Pop, Altamont... I wish I had Gone to More Concerts... but I did get to see some amazing shows... KRAFTWERK on their Computer World Tour... I went because I saw a Favorable Review of Autobahn in the Washington Post Newspaper... all my friends missed that one. It was Mostly German 20 somethings in the Audience... and I HAD NO IDEA that a performer could program a machine to play dance music after the people had left the stage...
