Dear Joe, I was sorry to read this was your final post. I find your writing to be well-spoken, articulate, informative, and entertaining. Think of this Joe, if your writing influenced one single person, just one, to change their path, your ministry is successful. Think of the power in your words! Your suffering is real, and it moves my heart. America needs criminal justice system reform so very badly, and some horrors of it would never see the light of day without forums like BTB, and inmates who demonstrate their vulnerability by sharing them. Just one Joe, if you only influenced just one, your pain is not in vain. Please reconsider your position and continue to fight for life, even a life that seems so full of pain and sorrow. You will find moments of joy, even if only a moment, with eyes wide open. It is true you have passed into a system without meaning and full of venom and hate. But you have not been abandoned, tonight I will pray you find some moments of joy. I write this in all sincerity. John

hi dear Kelly, today I got your writing from 07-27-22.
Just you to know!Now I read the news on your blog. Some people get a certain power and take advantage of it, and it's real nasty for those who have to follow their orders.:( Quarantine and then the Hole on top of it!? Was there a reason for this Hole time?
It seems you've to change cells so often and with new people!I hope at least you've some good friends as life is easier to bare.Are you still typing? Or combining with another job?
I was planning to write you a letter, because there is a lot to tell.We've a true hot wave here! It doesn't rain! All is so very dry!And on the 12th I was being operated for cataract. At first my weak and lazy eye, just in case something went wrong.
The next day all was all right,(we've the whole day of surgery a shell on that eye) till I felt like a grain in the eye! It was an eye lash hair, most probably when putting the drops in my eye!
During a month I've to put 4x2drops per day!Then follows my other eye!
No swimming for 2 weeks. No bending or lifting heavy weights, etc
One can't go anywhere, since one of the drops have to be stored in the refrigerator!Anyways it's too hot to go outside!
On the 22nd of September George's dad turns 99!!Yesterday we talked more than an hour!He told me the reason he lived for is gone: his dearest son.
He sounded so very sad, Kelly...:(( In a while he is going the last time to the grave and take a picture from the stone, one for me as well...
He has a hard time to walk with 2 canes, sleeps a lot, still rides with his car though and picks up a movie at times in his library.Prepares a salad for himself every day,and does the grave yard shuffle, he says as a joke.But he loves women, he admits being touched by them. Young women beneath his middle age, :))) He's so funny, and he lives with Bela, his cat.He still has a relatively good memory, although it is not as before... :o
i call him dad, he calls me 'daughter' and he is so much charmed when I call! I will send him a darling card, a bear stands behind another bear(one sees their backs), wouldn't that be us, I'll ask him.
I'll write about my love for him, I encourage him, also about my appreciation, about his son I loved so very much, and about the fact he ever gave birth to that great man,George jr...
He is still attending mass, each Sunday. He tells me to not to like to live in Chicago, because of the honest politicians, ha ha
He lives in the State Wisconsin, where men can carry a gun!:o
Well, Kelly all the other facts I'll write in a letter, okay?
Keep your life in harmony, feel good in your own skin, have goals and be a happy person!
Yes, astrology is fascinating, eh!
Big hug and blessings from you friend, Rita xx

Hey,
I enjoyed this book also and I appreciate your reporting on it. What a guy that Vine Deloria. Have you read “Basic Call to Consciousness” by Oren Lyons? Beautiful book partly focused on the arguments put forth at the UN in 1977 that lead to establishment of official on paper rebuke of the “Doctrine of Discovery” though in some ways, it lives right into the modern era. Hope this finds you smiling

Michael, what about the girls you drugged, raped and programmed after they were knocked out? I know one of your victims. Men like you are sick predators and you can never be rehabilitated. Don't blame drugs, don't blame your past. You're mentally ill. A mentally ill narcissist. A gas lighter. End of story. Enjoy your life in prison because that's exactly where you deserve to be. Enjoy
