Rockaway Park NY * July 4 2019 * in the 48th year of the Society * Salve Fullosia!
Greetings Dean:
I was amused by the terms the Society has devised to describe the mentor: Mentorious: sound and logical, Mentorific: acutely insightful, Mentrous: vague, uncertain, ambiguous, occluded, Mentology: tautologic, Mentanalogical: a comparison forged between unrelated phenomena. The Society ostensibly holds its Mentor in high regard that it has a particular term to describe the Mentor`s ailments: Mentoritis. In all my recent afflictions, the Mentor finds himself in the unenviable position of having been deserted by the Sea, alternative medicine, even philosophy and the Almighty. I have brought this up with the Jehovah witnesses with whom I have struck up an acquaintance at the transportation facilities where according to their missionaries Jehovah calls passengers over to the Witness stand. The Jehovah witnesses have referred me to the Book of Habukkak, a lesser prophet from the Old Testament. I begin to read the Book of Habukkak but found myself unable to pass the second chapter where I came across the line: "I stood my watch." I could read no further. It was too painful.
It reminds me of being exiled from my chosen professions by reason of maladies which prevent me from passing a physical and returning to the sea. Yet in my suffering and distress I turned to alternative medicine in which I had always placed high stock. The Dean on the other hand regards most alternative medicine as hocus pocus. My particular interest in natural medicine led me to undertake an analysis of the history of medicine which demonstrates that alternative medicine was suppressed to promote the drug industry. Regrettably even naturopathy produced a disappointment. To address my infirmities, I attended lectures at the Wellness Center conducted by naturopathic physicians. The result was disconcerting. The lecturer was to have addressed Excessive Personalities. His approach revealed that he had swallowed whole the doctrine of Cognitive Behavioralism which posits along with the psychoanalysis practiced by classic psychotherapists and the similar introspective techniques engaged in by classical philosophers long before Freud and Jung that making the patient more aware of the problem was the first step on a path to finding a cure.
The lecturer broke the Excessive Personality into four paths to destruction: Over - tired, Over - active, Over - extended and Over - eager. There are, the lecturer acknowledged, significant overlapping between the categories which are merely an analytic framework.
- The over - tired personality is a person who though exhausted continues in his efforts until body and soul give out. To borrow a term from the Mentor himself, the over - tired person crashes on the floor. The Rx the lecturer would impose is acquainting the patient with the need to pace himself.
- The over - active person operating well beyond his capabilities continues until he hits the wall when all his efforts fail at once. Once again, he lands on the floor unable to continue. The Rx the Naturopathic physician recommends is an objective self - appraisal.
- The over - extended person is going in too many directions at once. According to the lecturer, this may go on until efforts in one direction cancel out strides made in a distinctly different path. The Dean would call this the paradox of mutually exclusive goods. To combat this disease, the lecturer recommends a hard look in the mirror to ascertain realistic objectives which might be conceivably attained.
- The over - eager person aims to please. He may take or try to take on too much to please friends or to make new ones. He can hit the floor in two different ways. If no one engages with him with his offers of assistance, he`ll crash against the wall and hit the floor. Likewise, if he`s deluged by requests to the point that attempts to fulfill the requests exceed his physical and mental capacities, he will undoubtedly crash.
The Rx the Naturopathic physician offers to the over - eager person is to be less dependent on seeking the praise of others and more self - reliant taking stock in the positive aspects of self - satisfaction in one`s own independent accomplishments. I of course reject such psychobabble. In discussions with the Naturopath at the Wellness Center, I explained how dangerous looking oneself in the mirror can be. If one truly learned how hopeless one`s situation was, one might remain sprawled on the floor. I think I have the support of the Dean in the observation that the mind is a dangerous place to go roaming about in. However, in a number of respects, the Dean indorses the basic doctrines of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy that a positive attitude is the first step on the road to cure. Indeed, the very term Mentoritis is defined by The Society as a condition of the Mind. I prefer to think of my malady as a form of peripheral neuropathy in which injuries to nerves breaks down reporting from the peripheral nerves to the brain. Painful cramps, twitching, muscle loss and degenerative changes follow. Skin, hair, and nails can be affected. Due to degenerative changes to the muscular and skeletal structure, balance and co - ordination can become impaired. In what the Dean calls a Nanny state of California, this can invite unwanted attention from the constabulary whom one might think have more important problems to deal with people living on the street, openly defecating in public and rampaging crime. The Dean has warned that police deal with soft targets such as the Mentor peacefully plying his way between the various stops on his agenda and avoid the people who might show too much resistance.
At question time, I carefully examined the lecturer. "`If,` I reproached the lecturer, `the person who has hit the wall and landed on the floor realizes the enormity of his situation, he wouldn`t be able to drag himself off the floor.`" After several leading questions, the lecturer conceded that the approach may work better for a younger person. Afterwards both the Naturopath and his wife proved to be less interested in discussing health with the mentor.
Interestingly enough, after a bad accident, the doctor turned to Evangelical Christianity. Of course, the Dean, though dismissing much of natural medicine as pure poppycock, does not find the lecturer`s religious affiliation as a reason to reject his teachings. To my shock and dismay, the Deans says conventional scientific medicine is rooted in the barber shop; chiropractic originated in faith healing at church revivals. Faith in the treatment and trust in the practitioner regardless of the particular form of medicine says the Dean may not cure the patient but are the first step in the direction of a cure. Indeed, Mentoritis is said to originate in the Mentor`s maudlin view after a self - appraisal of his situation.
I went away disillusioned in Natural Medicine.
Faith healing may have moved mountains. In the late 19th Century faith healing may have inspired Chiropractic, but the Jehovah Witnesses could provide no quick faith - based solution for my malady. They said, wait till He returns. Then, the faithful will be healed. I sadly recalled the words of the Dean on this point: "With as badly as He was treated on last visit here, small wonder, He hasn`t been in a hurry to return." On my disillusion with a religious based solution, the Society paid me a left - handed compliment: "The Mentor is far too liberal for the Mormons and far too rational for the Jehovah Witnesses." Turning away from natural medicine and religion, I pled my case to The Society which is not only the voluntary assembly of true intellects but the home of our thoughts. I looked for the Dean to find me a third way which would avoid the treatment modalities of conventional allopathic medicine and restore me to the sea. I`m glad the Dean was not a member of the Brain Trust which had to find a third way to guide Franklin Roosevelt as he led the US out of the Great Depression. The Dean had neither a miracle cure nor a path back to the sea. The Dean proposed a new career for the Mentor to return to school to take up the formal study of Natural Medicine with a mission of putting Naturopathy on a scientific basis. This is the Dean`s proposed solution of the condition of Mentoritis, diverting the Mentor`s superior intelligence away from self - destruction and focusing them on a constructive goal.
The final blow came when I learned MacDonald`s response to raising the minimum wage: automation. During the Lenten season, the Mentor was buying fish - a - ma - jigs at $2 per serving. I had developed quite a taste for it, despite admonitions from the Dean that eating at MacDonald`s was inconsistent with the Mentor`s weight reduction programme. After Eastertide, I returned to MacDonald`s only to find it shuttered. I learned to beat the latest increase in the minimum wage, that Macdonald`s is discharging most of its staff, installing machines to record orders and collect money. I was doubly horrified that not only would people entitled to make a living wage would find regulations enacted to protect their wages lose their jobs, but also these machines would require credit or debit card, leaving that paper trail that so concern the mentor.
When such machines started appearing in Home Depot and Stop - N - Shop, even the Dean would avoid these automated tellers. The Dean has even criticized the move as employees at the register are a set of eyes protecting the store and its merchandise. However, the Dean has resigned himself to the change.
Oh Dean will the friendly checker go the way of the pay phone? It is on that note, the Mentor bids you a cheery cherio, Cherio Dean.

LORD MENTOR
KINGDOM OF STARS
Cloudless night
sleep forsaken for
the lack of dreams
walking softly outside
under a carpet of stars
shadows from branches
are cast onto a
narrow dirt path
light breezes disturb
wax twisted leaves,
a fright to imagine
if it were ghosts
moving about
there is a sense
of being unearthed
and homeless
standing on the
birth of dust.
LOOK THIS WAY
Open door
the street is art
the aroma of moving parts
some fixed others without sound
chrome smiles the road black
footsteps sound the song
parked cars like vacant motels
wait the owners return
the axis of downtown
encourages risk takers
and empty stomachs
to create a way through
while eyes are the judges
the opinions without saying
dancers carnival the corner
another world forms at the
steps to the subway.
LOST ROADS
It’s a twisting of hands,
a thirst to indulge
the spirit of the getaway,
the radical, unradical of
wish and desire; air through
a chrome grill chews hungrily
the dark of night on tendrils
of unlighted roads.
The tires roll out a language
of hate and speed; the normal
is scrapped for expression.
Roads crisscross without stop
signs or warnings.
Demon headlights and dragon
red tails stretch until absorbed
within the vanish.
Out here there are only
green lights.

I have also handled many criminal cases. Because I came out of the Army at the nadir of its popularity, I started at a bottom that few attorneys know exist: parole revocations. I even have a published book on some of the experiences. IF ALL MEN WERE ANGELS.
The people who bring civil rights claims against the police are the same people involved in criminal law. Most are guilty of something. Most deserved what they got even if the just deserts were administered unlawfully. One of the former police officers said it right: "My children are never wrong." Most criminal types are inherently manipulative pleading with crocodile tears that they are the victims; some people who are not criminals but have gotten in over their heads might see themselves as angelic victims.
Civil rights law presents unique ethical challenges, not addressed in this lecture. A good lecture should cover the nature of the current dilemma in dealing with excessive police violence, the people likely to have complaints, the defects in legal training, the nature of the opposition and its influence over the judiciary. I apologize over the use of the military term opposition instead of police and prosecutors. It`s not solely from being in the Army, but because I don`t regard former police officers as attorneys. They think and act like cops and therefore are the enemy. The current setting in the midst of a wave of police violence comes after a few decades of a liberalizing trend which expanded constitutional rights-most critically for the police who under Garrity v NJ cannot be called on to account for misconduct. Instead of producing a beneficent era of mutual respect and regard for rights, we find far more contact of an adverse nature between police and citizens than ever before. Efforts of white liberals to regulate different aspects of public behavior such as the NYC prohibition on selling "loosies," loose cigarettes and vending from push carts must be enforced by brute force. Thus, in the Eric Gardner situation, the police killed a man enforcing a law which carried a punishment of a small fine. Yet the police are the lecturers acknowledged held to a lower standard. Most white liberals, as part of their unshakeable neo - religious faith in the infallibility of the democratic - liberal, secular state, would give the police exclusive control over deadly power.
Excusing police excesses, the presenters would say notwithstanding police are more restrained than in Iran. In a dictatorship, the dictator has to keep control over the police, lest they replace him. In a liberal democracy the police and the leadership are independent wheels spinning without the gears necessary to keep one in control of the other.
Then, lest you think this an anti - police diatribe, look at the people who are involved in the adverse incident. Lets break down the element involved in criminal law enforcement: the professional criminal, the punk, the person who was a victim of circumstances or in the wrong place at the wrong time. The professional criminal is unlikely to bring a civil rights claim against a cop. Crime is his business. He has no illusions about reforming. The professional criminal might ask the cop to allow him to handcuff himself. The professional knows he`ll be back. He doesn`t cause much problems for lawyers. In the courtroom, the professional might even give a young lawyer a few tips on how to act and what to say. Some will lean back and compare the styles of different lawyers. See the professional knows the hats in the courtroom change. He might deal with PO Jones later on as a public defender or ADA Jones or even Judge Jones. The professional wants to be remembered well.
The punks are dangerous not only as potentially violent but also as manipulative liars who are looking for someone else to take responsibility for their acts: they can play on an inexperienced lawyer`s heartstrings. Inherently lacking much insight and impulse control, the punk would sell out people trying to help him. He`ll trade in his mother for a day off his sentence; turning in an attorney for a real or imagined breach of the code is a no - brainer. Even more dangerous than the punk is the person who got caught up over his head. They`re usually white. They might try to act as tough as the punk, but they lack an understanding of the nature of their predicament. With the expectation that they are your equal, almost all will offer to lie very well for you. If they are unpersuaded by the line that you help people with the truth, drop them. They could be a police informant or trying to become one. Approach them with caution. The truly innocent person is the most dangerous of all because he believes in much of the fluff about the nature of the system. He won`t follow your advice on the limits of what you can do.
And then there is the limits of legal training. Most young lawyers are not trained in dealing with the challenges of the potential client. Legal training is mostly intellectual from books as if the real world didn`t exist. With the democratization of law, people come into the profession from families not previously involved in law. In a field of civil rights, they are dealing with difficult clients in a violent system with a united unprincipled opposition. Most police turned lawyer will never admit that a wink and nod could bring the entire department down on a civil rights lawyer. And many judges go along with this. Richard Crenna starring in the made for TV movie A Case of Deadly Force based upon a book by Lawrence O`Donnell, a Boston PO turned attorney, vividly shows what mischief a determined police department is capable of: violent beatings and arrests of members of Mr O`Donnell`s family.
Thus, we live with the irony that the Warren court`s legacy is a violent, uncontrollable police freed from scrutiny and protected by the semblances of former police officers who fancy themselves attorneys.

Msrs Gregory and Fakkert:
The Gentlemen of the Rockaway Park Philosophical Society bid you greetings. The Society is the only such society that does not hang its head over America`s past. Often the Society consults the Epic Times for inspiration before writing most scholarly tracts. We find the Epic Times as a useful antidote to the self - deprecatory media of the US white liberal.
We read with interest your article concerning the American Colonel who single handedly rescued the Hungarian art treasures from Roumanian forces at the end of World War I. The implication is that the US should continue to police the world as a superpower dedicated to justice.
There is much currency in this view. Recently, on Facebook the Society commented on a posting about an Iranian woman flogged for drinking beer. The Society responded: So. This raised the cockles of many sensitive US folk. The Society`s point with the humanists weaping over the poor flogged Iranienne was how many years would you serve in uniform to make it possible for Mouslem women to drink beer?
And that`s the problem regardless of one`s position on internationalism which the Society vigorously opposes. 9 - 11 should have been a wake - up call in many respects, mostly in an anti - politically correct direction. As relevant to this discussion, on 9 - 11 flags went up; enlistments went down. The Bush regime had to recycle the enlisted men unlucky enough to have been in uniform on 9 - 10 - 2001 just to keep an Army in the field.
Sadly, the US has made itself a paper tiger and should avoid entanglements when there is no clear US interest.
Most Sincerely Yours,

ONCE AGAIN
I fell into
the remembers
today
the how and why
the places I walked
with voices
now removed
and stories
part and full
some not real
someone calls
my name;
no one is there
trees and paths
know me
change moves in
and replaces
trying to recall
works hard
the memory threads
a portion of my
legacy is rooted
here
THE BEAUTY OF IT
A place where trees
stop me
a stone wall
familiar
the road straight
then curves
recognizing the respect
for those who understand
a moment to rest
appreciating
the beauty
the organization
of nature
here under the shade
pausing as if
it were the last time
to pass by
UNDERNEATH IT ALL
There’s a ghost
in the meadow
a shadow in the
middle
a reflection absent
of pain
its not the everlasting
but you can see
it from here
the land supports
ancient frames
unruly hedges
and rambling stone
walls
that unlock
the uphill
where gravity
pulls one onto
the footstool of land
Deacon Jones: Ballad of Casey Jones
Listen up white liberals you need to hear
the train whistle blaring loud and clear
none heed to warning; no heart fails
islamics, they say, you ought not fear
as they come streaming across our frontier.
when islam in power white liberals cheer
tho` the train is rocking on the rails
for those to islam who won`t adhere
somewhere else not here!
islam in power will be fair,
to liberals who held them dear
warning whistle long sad wails
nearing the depot long black train
All aboard begin your travels
though the accomodation may be austere
the train whistles blare
belching a wiff of hot air
the box car opens charted with Cair
to carry libs off on loathesome trails
adapted from: American folk song Casey Jones
Deacon Jones writes:
Dear Dean:
The US WHITE liberal has no conception of how many ways Donald Trump protects the white liberal from themselves or him / her / itself. If Trump is brought down, the WHITE liberal may be pleased for a magic moment, but I do not expect the white liberal will remain in power very long. All those illusions the white liberal believes will insulate themselves will fade away with Trump`s bright orage hair into pure phantasms.
Will the rights of man survive when all the autocracies of the world are crushed into dust as Andrew (by God) Jackson promised?
At the moment I have my doubts.

a review of THE ROYAL SIREN
(Die Wanderhure [2010]):
A dangerous sweetness
German with English subtitles
There are only five real stories floating around said the French writer Victor Hugo. Every tale that made it into print is a variation on one or more of those basic lots. Die Wanderhure which plays in America as The Royal Siren is a feminine version of the Book of Job.
Meet Marie Schaerer (Alexandra Neldel). A bit above normal marriageable age for Mideaval Germany, Marie knows the rag trade better than her father, a wealthy cloth merchant. A thoroughly modern woman. Marie proposes to her boyfriend Michael that they run away to Cologne where women in business have their own guild. Michael (Bert Tischendorf) demures and defers to Marie`s father`s wishes.
When her father`s plans to sell Marie to the bastard son of a double dealing count, Marie, stripped of her fancy dress, is brutally raped, whipped and run out of Constance.
Rescued from the tall grass near the river, Marie falls in with a company of wandering whores. Recruited by a nobleman`s pregnant wife as a playmate for the noble to contain his libido during pregnancy, Marie double deals her benefactress to get a night with the King who has called an ecclesiastical conclave in Constance.
Siren, connoting a certain sweetness which attracts men to self destruction, may not be a bad description of Marie following her downfall.
Although her petition to the King is not heard due to an interruption, a strike by whores protesting that housewives are selling themselves cheap during the conclave gives Marie the opportunity to present her grievance. Restored and vindicated Marie undergoes a purification ritual.
a review of Between Love and Honor (1995)
WHERE DOES THE ACT END
NYPD officer, Steven A Collura (Grant Show), is sent on a mission: infiltrate the Mob family led by Carlo Gambino (Robert Loggia). The Made-for-TV movie probes the inner workings of an undercover operation: On one hand, the operative projects a fantasy on the other hand his act creates a reality of its own.
To insert Officer Collura into the mob, he`s teamed up with a former Mafia couple working off a case. Taking up residence with them as his "son", Collura lays down the rules: he`s the boss he does what he wants; they`re the help and that`s it. The ex-Mafia couple have no choice but to grin and bear Collura`s laws. As time progresses, they begin acting like a family so much so Collura`s parents start berating Collura for his personal shortcomings, late hours, bad company and drinking.
Collura is so successful in inserting himself into the web of the mob that he strikes up a relationship with Carlo Gambino`s beloved goddaughter Maria Caprefoli (Maria Pitillo), whom Carlo cautions Collura is a gentle but fragile flower.
Taken home to meet `Mom` and `Dad,` in their apartment in an old frame house on Pitkin Avenue in the mob strong hold of South Ozone Park, Maria asks the most telling question in the family oriented Italian - American world. Surprisingly, this obvious question was overlooked by all the mobsters right up to Carlo. "Oh, it`s nice to meet your Mob and Dad, where does the rest of your family, your uncles and aunts and cousins live?" Mom, Dad and Junior all look at each other in fright and on a flimsy excuse leave the room.
Well an engagement is announced and Maria offers Collura a short preview of bliss, but forbids physical contact.
Meanwhile, Collura is advanced in the mob to the point he is trusted with a small role in the execution of Mob rogue and existentialist philosopher Joey Gallo. Handed a weapon, but advised that he`ll only be part of the back - up, Collura panics and runs back to the police.
The story like The Impossible Spy and Scarlet Coat catch the very nature of an undercover operative. He projects a fantasy as reality. How far can the spy be drawn into the charade that he has created?
a review of I Was an American Spy (1951)
Mrs. Claire `High Pockets` Phillips (Ann Dvorak) was left stranded by the American defeat in the Philippians. The Island fell to the Japanese. American civilians are being interned. Mrs Philippe manages to persuade Japanese authorities to leave her at liberty under flimsy Spanish identification papers. Behind their backs she is helping Filipino guerrillas and American soldiers in hiding. Can the rouse last until the Americans return? The acting by Ann Dvorak was superbly complimented by Richard Loo`s performance as the enemy Colonel Masamato.
I was surprised that this film did not receive a revival when the movie THE GREAT RAID came out in 2005. One commentator expressed doubt in Mrs Phillipe`s exploits including following her husband`s unit through the jungle. Americans of that generation unlike US people of later times had incalculable courage.
