OSBI and Pastor Carol Daniels

Please excuse me for my stupidity. Someone posted a comment on my blog regarding Pastor Carol Daniels and it made me think. I know I have received the most hits because of my post about her and it didn't occur to me to post how to contact the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation.

Should anyone have any information regarding Pastor Daniels death, please contact the OSBI. Here is a link to the unsolved cases webpage.

Unsolved Cases

If you scroll down their page you will find her listed. You may also call them at 1-800-522-8017.

I know more that a few people found my site through the websleuths website. Who knows, maybe they will have some thoughts that the police should consider.

I still plan on making a post tonight; but, I thought I should provide this information first. Many of us know that if a case is not solved within 72 hours, the odds of solving it at all go down dramatically; however, a few years back a serial killer known as BTK was caught after 40 years. Never give up hope, the truth has a way of finding it's own way out. Peace.

The Super Memory Happy, Happy, Pill.

I have written on this subject before. Turns out that science has built a better mouse that can quickly avoid the trap. Scientists have found a chemical that can help mice to recover from Alzheimer's Disease. I bet the guy that developed gives it to his kids so that they do better in school once he is sure it is safe. What would people pay for that pill if it meant they could do better in their job? Cookie opportunities.

Passings

Last week I was asked by the Pastor that I work with to speak at a funeral today as he was unable to make it. Having spoken at numerous funerals, this was okay with me. It was a Hispanic funeral, I speak practically no Spanish; but I was assured that they all did. Nope, better than half of the service was in Spanish. A friend of mine gave me rough translations.

Things went well at the service and it turned out that I did not need to speak, so I was really more there for the family. I didn't know any of them; but, had the opportunity to. A very nice family. The father had passed away and he seems to have been one of those old school Mexicans. Low paid for life, break his back and take care of his family. The words that I heard over and over being used about this man was that he was honest, hard working and patient. He was also very much in love with the Lord. The whole family love God.

I spoke to one of the grandsons, a very pleasant and mannered young man who also happens to play music. He asked me if it was okay to be in a band that was not associated with church. Of course my answer was that it was fine, just watch the lyrics. They kept referring to me as Pastor Pimpernel and I kept asking them to just call me Pimpernel. I also don't like to be called Doctor Pimpernel.

I saw a 30 something man speak about his father, I saw his sisters speak. They all respected their father and they all talked about the values that he left them and that they live. I thought of my father and mother and the values that they left me. I thought about my children and the values that I have tried to leave them and live. I told my children to not lie, cheat or steal and I do not do so.

A passing is a time to look back and look forward at the same time. Look back at what the event or person meant to you, how it effected your beliefs or actions. Look forward to what you will leave as your legacy. For me, I think I leave a pretty good legacy, I leave my children and all those whose lives I have impacted. I try to have a positive impact on a daily basis, it is for God to decide if I was successful.

This passing comes days before Christmas. While the symbology used at Christmas was originally pagan, the Christian re-interpretation is about one of birth. Birth is a new beginning; but, it is also a passing from what was. Some passing's are the result of us growing up, others are the result of us not learning and missing an opportunity to grow.

Three deaths in two months. Each effected me in a unique way and my relationship with the people was pretty wide. All the way from my childhood sweetheart to somebody I didn't know at all. I will have another passing soon and I am not sure what I think of it. Let us say that I have gone through a life and awareness experience for almost the past three years. The past six years have seen a change in every aspect of my life. Now things are stabilizing and I am acquiring a new sense of normalcy (we shall see how long that lasts, lol).

As the craziness of the past departs and as I find a new sense of calm I am now starting to be able to put some context on all of it. It began with me losing most of my family and friends, too many to count. They died and left me behind. Then I was faced with a series of health issues and finally I was faced with divorce and losing everything I spent my life working for in order to take care of my family. In the last ten months or so I began my new life, in a new city and with new friends.

While the last few years have been incredibly stressful (with the stress causing me permanent visual damage), it also had lots of exciting new things for me. I went white water rafting, I drove to Portland and met up with a bunch of people I only knew from the internet and I even began preaching. As my old life passed, I was busy forming my new life, making choices for what I would and would not pursue. I dated and then stopped, I had never thought that I would date again in my life. I found out that there are women who actually enjoy my company and who were very interesting to listen to, I enjoyed dating.

A passing is an opportunity to put old things away and pick up new things. It can be a chance to upgrade. I choose to upgrade. Most might not see it that way, they might see losing a half million dollars, your home and your possessions as a downgrade; but, it wasn't for me. As for the divorce, I did not lose anything, another chose to leave and there is nothing we can do or that we should do to deny another their free will. It is okay to attempt to discuss such matters; but, in the end we all make our choices.

Some might say that they thought I should have gone through my trials better; but, none would say that I could not have done a whole lot worse. In the end I am still standing and that is a good spot. I have grieved the past as we all should or we miss out on this very human experience that we call life. Now I will spend more time contemplating what I am creating, the next part of my journey.

Here is the thing about passings, they are just new beginnings if we let them be. We take from the past; but, some opportunities that we once had will not open up again because others have also gone through their passages. After a passing, the world is a new landscape, new choices and new beginnings; but, we take with us what we have learned on our journey and should go forth in hope. We may not be perfect; but, we can learn and make things better. Peace.

Nothing Going on in my Head

Sorry for not posting. I am officially brain dead. I have read the news; but, don't really have much to add to it. Kim June Il died. It means nothing, his son is taking over. Newt Gingrich apparently said that if he were president he would have judges who disagreed with him arrested. Is this guy insane or does he just not care? Who would vote for anyone who said such a thing?

Well, at least the year is almost over though I fear next year will be worse for most people. I recently was told that an old co-worker had moved to Wyoming to avoid what he perceived to be of the world coming apart. He isn't even a Christian as far as I know. I absolutely do not believe the world will end next year. Sorry I don't buy any of what is being pushed.

I look back at this year and say good riddance. Best part of this year was moving to my new apartment. I plan on making some change next year. I plan to pay off the last of the credit cards for one. I also am considering dating again. Personally I like petite women and they will have to be over 40 by a bit. I am very unsure of what type of person I am looking for; but, at a minimum they must be Christian. I think it is important to agree on fundamentals.

I am also thinking about retirement more. I am thinking that when I retire I might just disappear for a year or so. Just wander off and spend some time alone. I am just rambling, I have no idea what I am going to do and I don't know that it matters.

Sorry, not much to say as I have been too busy

Today was utter insanity as far as the Pimpernel goes, busy, overloaded, too many people with too many needs. I read some of the news, I retain nothing. LOL. I am one burnt out old Pimpernel and you will get no valuable post from me tonight.

For those who are foolish enough to worry about me, there is never a need. Good friends and loving family are around me and I appreciate everyone of them. This old fart is still valued and my opinions are still listened too by those who value them. I am in a really great place in my head and my heart.

My life has been an odd journey to say the least. Over the past few years I have blessed by seeing how many people appreciated what I did for them and it is many. We all go through things, we all make mistakes; but, some of us learn from them and payback is the best. Not paying back harm, paying back for the help we have received along the way.

Too much going on, be well.

Too Many Things Going On at Once Today

I had to deal with the insurance company that the person who hit my car uses. They were really good about it; but, many calls and now I have to take my car to an adjuster, body shop and whatever else. Then I had a meeting and way too many calls from too many people. After that two hours working on church business. It was all good and it was all too much. Truth is I haven't had a chance to really read the news.

A few days ago I saw the following on YouTube - Occupy Melbourne Tent Monsters

It was a kind of sweet and playful protest making fun of the restrictions placed on protesters in Australia. Then I saw this today.

Occupy Melbourne Protestor violently stripped by MCC & Vic Police

When they first saw the tents being worn as clothes the police were confused and left. When they came back they took the tents off the people leaving them in just their underwear. What do you think of that? What do you think of the fact that protesters in the west are treated little better than those in Arabia? Does it make you feel proud to live in a democracy? For those who like to justify everything done by people in uniforms, if it was illegal to be in a tent and that was determined to be a tent then they should have arrested her wearing the tent, not stripped her and leave her there naked. They didn't know what to do, the cops did not have a clue as to what was the RIGHT thing to do because they stopped thinking as humans.

I don't believe in direct democracy, I believe in representative democracy that has the proper structure and not allowing the rich to have more influence on government than anyone else. I do believe we should have a system that has people in authority, it is needed in every organization; but, the people directing the use of authority and exercising it must understand right from wrong.

How did we get to a place where the Constitution is meaningless and the people we hire to protect us, instead prevent us from exercising our rights? When you saw the second video, did you take into consideration what the Occupy movement is protesting in deciding if what the cops did war right? You shouldn't, it is not about that. I would no more condone the public stripping of a Tea Partier, Republican, Democrat or Occupier. What does it matter what they are protesting, is it okay to abuse some more than others based on what they are protesting?

I spoke to an older woman today. A friend of mine introduced while we were waiting to have our church meeting. He reads this blog and he will know that I am talking about him. A very nice man and loves the Lord, he is also a big supporter of my writing and I appreciate that. Anyways, this lady was very sharp. She had learned the language of politicians and the media, she had worked for someone who understood the theater that is put before us in order to achieve a result.

She and I had never spoke before and she had never read my blog, she had no idea who or what I was. She said that she thought that what was going on in the economy was staged in order to make a worldwide economic order. She had worked for someone who was involved with legislators and knew the game, she didn't know how it was done, what she understood was that everything big is staged, especially in politics and the economy.

We get older and we don't have the energy to read 80 news sources a day anymore. We get to a point where we have seen so much that everything filters automatically and is understood in it's own language. It is a language of theater and that is how the masses are led. It was not designed to lead people, it was designed to explain what was going on and why. Diplomacy was meant to find consensus not lead the discussion, it was meant to explain and not to manipulate because at that point it becomes undemocratic.

My dear friend that used to work for me and has gone on to prove that he has no competition, I taught him how to understand the conversation. I take this blog seriously because it is my hope that others learn to read the signs. This blog was never intended to last long, I have killed the first two iterations of it and have said that I will not do so again. I originally did that because I discovered that people were interested in what happened to the good Pastor Daniels and many came here to read what I wrote about her. While that is a sufficient reason to keep the blog up, it is not a reason to keep writing about other things. I will keep writing as long as people are reading because maybe others will learn to see what I see.

I should say that they don't have to agree with my opinions or conclusions, just look at the world and what you are told in a bigger way. That is why I keep writing and reading. A lonely voice in the wilderness calling out to but a few. There are relatively few that read this blog regularly, no millions of hits a day and it was never intended to be such a thing. Just like me, it was supposed to have a shelf life. Somehow this nasty bit of writing has become more, at least for a few and that is enough.

I will throw something out there. The Iranians "captured" a US drone and they didn't shoot it down. They claim that they had over-ridden it. I have a problem with that. They also claim that they are going to back engineer and mass produce them. I have a problem with that also. It is a story, the Iranians might believe it; but, I know better, it doesn't fit. That drone would have a dead man switch and destroyed itself first. In addition, I don't see that the Iranians could have taken command of the drone when the Iraqi's did not do so when we flew them over Iraq.

It is possible that I am wrong; however, when you read the news you should stop and ask if what you are being told makes sense and not just accept it. Lost my train of thought. Peace.

Vernon, I know this answer and it is a SCAM

L.A. Times - Vernon agreed to pay $60 million to avoid disincorporation

Lets see if little Pimpernel has any mental abilities left. Now, the LA Times has reported that the City of Vernon had agreed to gift $60 million to surrounding small cities in exchange for being allowed to remain a city. Well that in and of itself is disgusting, basically a case of blackmail and bribery; but, let us think for a moment.

The City of Vernon doesn't know where it is going to get the money. I know where they are going to get the money. They are going to sell the land in Kern that they paid $60 million for. You can read about it in my earlier posts. A friend of Mayor Villaraigosa's bought the land in Kern with money supplied by public pensions. It was land that the LADWP was going to buy for about %60 million. After CIM and the Mayor's friend bought the land it made the papers and the city couldn't justify paying twice the amount that CIM paid for it and the City of Vernon bought the land without the water rights for about $60 million.

Now if the City of Los Angeles buys it from Vernon for $60 million then LADWP gets the land to put up their wind or solar farm; but, it is still not worth $60 million without the water rights. When this lie plays out I am going to refer people back to this post. Think it won't? Well consider the politics.

Los Angeles had already considered buying the land for about $60 million so nobody in Los Angeles will care. Vernon never needed the land in the first place so nobody in Vernon will care. The surrounding cities won't care because they all get bought off with money from Vernon. People in most of the state won't care because it doesn't effect them. NOBODY CARES except little Pimpernel and that is why this type of garbage will continue. When it happens come back and read all the posts tagged "pension fraud".
