President Biden didn't honor his oath of office to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution by filing an Amendment 14, Section 3 federal lawsuit to prevent Donald Trump from holding public office, so it falls on me to do it for him?

    

Some redneck mystic lawyer mischief occurred after a woman friend's dream caused me to look at the Facebook page of a woman I had met maybe in 2015 at the fabulous Harpoon Harry's Diner in Key West, where I then lived. She had posted a blast from the past.

Jacqueline September 30, 2020

I told my Mom if Trump wins we are all moving to Jamaica. I heard her on the phone talking to her friend and she told her we are moving to Cuba.😀 

Sloan Bashinsky
W/hen were you last in Jamaica? Perhaps you might prefer Belize, also English speaking, and perhaps less hurricane threat and probably no earthquake threat. Your mom hablas Espanol? She likes driving very old cars held together by duct tape? They do have cheap and good medical care there. 
A friend called just a bit ago and said she was told in a dream last night that someone named Jaqueline was sick. She don't know no Jaqueline, so I came to your FB to see how you are doing . 
I agree about Trump and his impact on America. But I don't have a passport, and I'm too old and tired and ache too much to travel overseas again, or even long distances in America. 
I've been working on federal lawsuit papers to have a federal court declare Trump cannot hold public office, as per Amendment 14, Section 3. I am the plaintiff in the lawsuit. 
I'm looking only for women to be members of my cabinet in my campaign for president as an Independent. Which cabinet position would you care to have, or how does being Vice President appeal to you? 
If I get elected and sworn in, you arrange for Stormy Daniels to pay me a visit and she and Viagra cause me to have a fatal heart attack and you are president.😎

Jacqueline
Hi Sloan! My Dad did some work in Jamaica years ago. So I have not been there in at least 20 years. I would definitely give it a try if for some reason that fuck face ever stands a chance at being our President again. Keep doing your hard work from keeping him out of the race and even the entire human race. I appreciate your efforts. I am doing good. Still living the dream of life. I hope you are doing as best as you can. My Mom always said “Whatever you do, don’t get old”….. and here I am still not listening to her words of wisdom. 
I can’t run for any political position. Way too many skeletons in my closet. But you have my vote!

Sloan Bashinsky
Skeletons make us interesting, more real? I came out of a 4-year dark night of the soul when I was in Jamaica in 1995. I suggest you visit Jamaica, to decide if you want to live there. Although, if Trump gets elected again, perhaps America won't be safe for any Democrat, nor for anyone who speaks out against Trump, who reminds me of how Adolph Hitler came to power in Germany. 

Jacqueline

We are in a sad state. Hoping he is found guilty on numerous charges.

Sloan Bashinsky   

Hopefully. 

I used our banter in a new post at my campaign blog, about President Biden didn't honor his oath of office and file a federal lawsuit to enforce Amendment 14, Section 3 to prevent Donald Trump from holding public office, defaults to the Independent candidate to do it for him? The post includes a draft of the Complaint in the United States District Court in Birmingham, which is followed by my personal and legal mental progression, evolution, devolution, whatever, on the matter. I can imagine lots of scenarios if I file the lawsuit, and probably there are scenarios I cannot possibly imagine. To be, or not to be. 

For several days, I worked on drafting a federal lawsuit based on President Biden didn't honor his oath of office to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution by filing a federal lawsuit himself to enforce Amendment 14, Section 3 and block Donald Trump from holding public office. The Pre-filing Appendix below the Complaint reveals my personal and legal progression, evolution, devolution, whatever, on the matter. The bottom line is, I don't think or feel I have the personal juice and the legal wherewithal to prosecute the case all by myself. But perhaps I have laid out how President Biden can do it, or how someone can do it for him.

In the United States District Court 

for the Northern District of Alabama

Sloan Young Bashinsky, Jr. Plaintiff

vs.

President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump, Defendants

Verified Complaint 

    Comes now the Plaintiff and says he is a citizen of the United States, born on October 7, 1942, in Birmingham, Alabama, where he lives and is a registered voter. He brings this action under: 

28 U.S. Code § 1361 - Action to compel an officer of the United States to perform his duty

The district courts shall have original jurisdiction of any action in the nature of mandamus to compel an officer or employee of the United States or any agency thereof to perform a duty owed to the plaintiff.

Plaintiff's standing to bring this action

 

1. Donald Trump and Joe Biden made an oath when they were sworn into office as President of the United States:

United States Constitution Article II, Section 1, Clause 8

Before he enters on the Execution of his Office, he shall take the following Oath or Affirmation:–I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.

     

That oath was made to the Constitution of the United States for the benefit of the United States and every citizen thereof. 

 

2. On January 6, 2021, a huge mob incited by outgoing President Donald Trump tried to stop the Congress from counting the electoral votes and outgoing Vice-President Mike Pence from certifying the electoral votes, pursuant to Article 2, Section 1 of the U.S. Constitution, Amendment 12 of the U.S. Constitution, and 3 U.S. Code § 15 ~ Counting electoral votes in Congress 3. 

3. When President Trump violated his oath office by inciting the January 6 insurrection, he disqualified himself to run for public office again, under:

U.S. Constitution Amendment 14, Section 3

No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.

4. Amendment 14, Section 3 was passed after the Civil War to block people, such as Jefferson Davis, President of the Confederacy, and Robert E. Lee, Commander of the Confederate Army, from holding public office. Donald Trump did not try to secede from the United States of America and its Constitution (the Union). He incited insurrection to try to take them over. 

5. After former President Trump announced in 2021 that he would run for president again, President Biden, pursuant to his oath of office, to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution, should have brought an Amendment 14, Section 3 action in the United States District Court, in Washington, D.C., to disqualify Trump from running for president again.  

 

6. After private citizens in 2023 filed Amendment 14, Section 3 actions in state courts to disqualify Donald Trump from running for president, President Biden still did not honor his oath to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution by filing an Amendment 14, Section 3 action to disqualify Trump from running for president again.

 

7. Thus Plaintiff, a natural-born American citizen and resident of and registered voter in Birmingham, Alabama, asks the Court to Order President Biden to uphold his oath of office by asking this Court to enforce  Amendment 14, Section 3 and bar Donald Trump from holding public office, including President of the United States. Alternatively, Plaintiff asks the Court to rule President Biden breached his oath to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States, and private U.S. citizen and registered voter Plaintiff can bring the action by default for President Biden - Cf shareholder derivative action in corporate law.

 

Detailed allegations of fact for enforcing Amendment 14, Section 3 against Donald Trump:

8. Based on many television news media reports Plaintiff watched and news articles he read and photos he saw online, this from Wikipedia sums up some of it.

The count of the Electoral College ballots during a joint session of the 117th United States Congress, pursuant to the Electoral Count Act (3 U.S. Code § 15 - Counting electoral votes) in Congress, on January 6–7, 2021, was the final step to confirm President-elect Joe Biden's victory in the 2020 presidential election over President Donald Trump, the incumbent.

The event drew unprecedented attention because of the efforts of Trump and his allies to overturn the election results. A group of legislators from Trump's Republican Party announced they would formally object to counting Biden's votes in swing states, while Trump unsuccessfully sought to have Vice President Mike Pence use his presiding role over the count to change the outcome. The joint session adjourned twice to debate objections against the votes won by Biden in Arizona and Pennsylvania; both objections were defeated in the House and Senate, with only six Republican senators supporting the former and seven supporting the latter. Republican representatives also raised objections against votes for Biden from Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, and Wisconsin, but these objections failed because they were not co-signed by a senator.

Amid the debate on Arizona's votes, rioters stormed the Capitol building, causing the count to be temporarily halted until officials could safely return to their chambers. The counting resumed in the evening after the Capitol was secured and concluded by the following morning.

9. To which Plaintiff adds, based on what he knows and what he saw on television and read in the news media:

The Electoral College is provided for in Article 2, Section 1 of the U.S. Constitution, which was somewhat amended by Amendment 12. 

When he was President, the Defendant Donald Trump incited hordes of people to travel to Washington, D.C. to "Stop the steal", by preventing the U.S. Congress and outgoing Vice-President Mike Pence from doing their Constitutional duty to count and certify the electoral votes, which they had sworn an oath to do when they assumed their offices. Trump revved up the insurrectionists near the Capitol and sent them to the Capitol, but he did not go with them. On television, he watched them storm through Capitol Police and break into the Capitol. Although Trump was urged by family and close associates and federal officials to ask the insurrectionists to stand down and leave, he did not do that. When Trump heard the insurrectionists chanting, "Hang Pence," he chanted it, too. Only later did Trump ask the insurrectionists to stand down and leave. Trump's lawyers told him the election was not stolen, as did his Attorney General Bill Barr. Trump continued to this day to claim the election was stolen, even though he never produced a shred of evidence that it was stolen. 

Trump never showed any remorse for the January 6, 2021 assault on the Capitol and the injuries and post traumatic shock suffered by Capitol police. Trump has said, if elected in 2024, he will pardon the insurrectionists and anyone prosecuted for aiding and abetting the insurrection. Trump has said, if they came for him, he would come for them. 

Before Trump ran for President in 2016, it was reported in "Vanity Fair" magazine that Ivana Trump said, when she and Donald were married, he kept a book of Adolph Hitler's speeches in a cabinet on his side of their bed, and sometimes he read it at night. After Vladimir Putin was elected President for Life of Russia, I watched President Trump say on national television that he liked that idea of president for life. When former Ku Klux Klan Grand Dragon and Imperial Wizard David Duke endorsed Donald Trump for president in 2015, Trump did not denounce Duke and say he did not want the Klan's votes. 

Res Ipsa loquitur is evidentiary, a picture is worth a thousand words.

MAGA rally 

Charlottesville

January 6, 2021 

Media photos and videos of MAGA rallies in 2015 and since revealed scans of white people. Media photos and videos of the 2017 Charlottesville protest against removing Confederate monuments revealed oceans of white people and Confederate and Swastika flags. Media photos and videos of the January 6, 2021 insurrection at the Capitol revealed oceans of white people and Confederate flags. 

When Trump kept saying before and after the 2020 election, that it was stolen, his Aryan armies knew he meant it was stolen by blacks. 

 

10, It is Plaintiff's personal and professional opinion that President Donald Trump violated his oath to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution by inciting the January 6, 2021 Aryan insurrection outside and inside the national Capitol. Trump loved the Aryan insurrection. Trump is incorrigible. Trump wants to be King America. Trump is a clear and present Aryan threat to the United States Constitution and to the Nation. 

Plaintiff's professional qualifications and political background  

 

11. After graduating with a Juris Doctor from the University of Alabama School of Law in 1968, Plaintiff clerked for the Honorable Clarence W. Allgood in the United District Court for the Northern District of Alabama. A few months into the clerkship, Plaintiff passed the Alabama Bar Exam. Judge Allgood's caseload included presiding over every federal prosecution in the Northern District of Alabama. Behind the scenes, Judge Allgood ran the Democratic Party in Alabama, except for the George Wallace faction. 

 

12. After clerking for Judge Allgood, Plaintiff worked for four years at his father's company, Golden Flake Snack Foods, Inc., headquartered in Birmingham. Plaintiff then practiced law for twelve years in the state and federal courts in Birmingham. During that time, Plaintiff acquired a LLM in Taxation from the University of Alabama School of Law, which was taught at the University of Alabama in Birmingham. Today, Plaintiff is an inactive licensed attorney in Alabama.  

 

13. Between 2003 and 2018, Plaintiff ran ten times for local office in Key West and the Florida Keys (Monroe County) as an Independent and was not elected. The only time he voted for a Republican or Democrat presidential candidate was in 2020, when he reluctantly voted for Joe Biden, because he did not remind Plaintiff of Adolph Hitler. Plaintiff is running a mock campaign for president on the Unicorn ticket, in which he addresses serious national issues and says what he would do if he were president, as is seen at The Redneck Mystic Lawyer for President on the Unicorn Ticket blog,

redneckmysticlawyerforpresident.blogspot.com, 

and several episodes of The Redneck Mystic Lawyer Podcast. If requested by the Court and/or the parties, Plaintiff will provide YouTube links to the campaign podcasts. 

 

Prayer for Relief

14. Plaintiff asks the Clerk of the Court to serve Defendant President Joe Biden at the White House,1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20500, and Defendant Donald Trump at his Mar-a-Lago residence, 1100 S Ocean Blvd, Palm Beach, FL 33480, Palm Beach, Florida.

15. Plaintiff asks the Court to hear and consider all the evidence, and enter a Order in favor of Amendment 14, Section barring Donald Trump from holding public office, including President of the United States.

Respectfully submitted,

Before me personally appeared Sloan Young Bashinsky, Jr., who after being sworn in by me, stated that he is the Plaintiff in the Verified Complaint, and the facts alleged therein about himself and President Joe Biden are true, and the facts alleged for disqualifying former President Donald J. Trump from holding public office, including President of the United States of America, are true to the best of his information, knowledge and belief.

Pre-filing Catch-22 Appendix 

    Drawing up a sexy Complaint is one thing, but proving the allegations with real evidence in court is something else altogether.     

    How do I get witnesses to agree to come to Birmingham and testify in a lawsuit that should have been filed by President Biden in Washington, D.C.? How do I obtain film footage of the January 6 insurrection and of Donald Trump from the news media? How do I get newspaper reporters, who interviewed Trump and other people involved in the insurrection, and Capitol Police officers, to agree to come to Birmingham and testify? If they do not agree, they can be subpoenaed. But what will they say under oath? There is no way to know, except by deposing them before they testify. I do not have the wherewithal to depose them where they are, nor do I have the wherewithal to bring them to Birmingham and depose them.

    No federal judge known to me, nor probably in the history of time, appreciates an unprovable lawsuit being filed in his or her court. There is no telling what all a federal judge and the Alabama State Bar might do to me, if I file the Complaint above in federal court.

    Such is life. 

    It's a damn shame Joe Biden didn't already file Amendment 14, Section 3 lawsuit in Washington, D.C. A damn shame.     

    America claims in its Pledge of Allegiance to be “one nation, under God.” Everyone involved in this matter, including me, is on trial in God’s Court, where all are required to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help them, God. 

    Since I'm on trial, I can see God's Prosecutor asking me why I worry about what a federal judge and the Alabama Bar might do to me? I can see the Prosecutor asking if I should not worry much more about what God wants me to do? I can see the Prosecutor asking me how it went for people who stood silent when they came for the Jews in Germany?

    If I don't file the federal lawsuit on behalf of President Biden, what does that say about me as an American, who sees very plainly what is going on and the best way to try to put an end to it? Where is my patriotism, if I don't file it? Where is my stand on the rule of law, if I don't file it? Where do I stand with God, if I don't file it? 

    Maybe if I file the Complaint, President Biden will learn of it and join me in prosecuting it in Birmingham, or he files a Complaint himself in the United States District Court in Washington, D.C., where the insurrection occurred, and thus honors the oath he took to "preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."  

    Alas, I am an old man. My body is failing me. I'm in constant physical discomfort and varying degrees of pain. I struggle to get through each day. I am like a very old car, ready for the junkyard. I try hard to live by God's will, not mine, be done, but I simply don't have the personal juice and the legal wherewithal to prosecute the Complaint all by myself.

Poetic Outlaws

Hunter S. Thompson's Prophetic 9/11 Essay Still Haunts Us

"The towers are gone now, reduced to bloody rubble, along with all hopes for Peace in Our Time."

As the disintegrated twin towers were still smoldering in New York, the great Hunter S. Thompson penned a prophetic essay from his “fortified compound” in Woody Creek, Colorado. The famed gonzo journalist knew what was in store for the United States. And the world. 

Below is the essay that the great American writer published at ESPN just a few days after the dreadful 9/11 attacks. 

---

It was just after dawn in Woody Creek, Colo., when the first plane hit the World Trade Center in New York City on Tuesday morning, and as usual I was writing about sports. But not for long. Football suddenly seemed irrelevant, compared to the scenes of destruction and utter devastation coming out of New York on TV.

Even ESPN was broadcasting war news. It was the worst disaster in the history of the United States, including Pearl Harbor, the San Francisco earthquake and probably the Battle of Antietam in 1862, when 23,000 were slaughtered in one day.

The Battle of the World Trade Center lasted about 99 minutes and cost 20,000 lives in two hours (according to unofficial estimates as of midnight Tuesday). The final numbers, including those from the supposedly impregnable Pentagon, across the Potomac River from Washington, likely will be higher. Anything that kills 300 trained firefighters in two hours is a world-class disaster.

And it was not even Bombs that caused this massive damage. No nuclear missiles were launched from any foreign soil, no enemy bombers flew over New York and Washington to rain death on innocent Americans. No. It was four commercial jetliners.

They were the first flights of the day from American and United Airlines, piloted by skilled and loyal U.S. citizens, and there was nothing suspicious about them when they took off from Newark, N.J., and Dulles in D.C. and Logan in Boston on routine cross-country flights to the West Coast with fully-loaded fuel tanks -- which would soon explode on impact and utterly destroy the world-famous Twin Towers of downtown Manhattan's World Trade Center. Boom! Boom! Just like that.

The towers are gone now, reduced to bloody rubble, along with all hopes for Peace in Our Time, in the United States or any other country. Make no mistake about it: We are At War now -- with somebody -- and we will stay At War with that mysterious Enemy for the rest of our lives.

It will be a Religious War, a sort of Christian Jihad, fueled by religious hatred and led by merciless fanatics on both sides. It will be guerilla warfare on a global scale, with no front lines and no identifiable enemy. Osama bin Laden may be a primitive "figurehead" -- or even dead, for all we know -- but whoever put those All-American jet planes loaded with All-American fuel into the Twin Towers and the Pentagon did it with chilling precision and accuracy. The second one was a dead-on bullseye. Straight into the middle of the skyscraper.

Nothing -- even George Bush's $350 billion "Star Wars" missile defense system -- could have prevented Tuesday's attack, and it cost next to nothing to pull off. Fewer than 20 unarmed Suicide soldiers from some apparently primitive country somewhere on the other side of the world took out the World Trade Center and half the Pentagon with three quick and costless strikes on one day. The efficiency of it was terrifying.

We are going to punish somebody for this attack, but just who or what will be blown to smithereens for it is hard to say. Maybe Afghanistan, maybe Pakistan or Iraq, or possibly all three at once. Who knows? Not even the Generals in what remains of the Pentagon or the New York papers calling for WAR seem to know who did it or where to look for them.

This is going to be a very expensive war, and Victory is not guaranteed -- for anyone, and certainly not for anyone as baffled as George W. Bush. All he knows is that his father started the war a long time ago, and that he, the goofy child-President, has been chosen by Fate and the global Oil industry to finish it Now. He will declare a National Security Emergency and clamp down Hard on Everybody, no matter where they live or why. If the guilty won't hold up their hands and confess, he and the Generals will ferret them out by force.

Good luck. He is in for a profoundly difficult job -- armed as he is with no credible Military Intelligence, no witnesses and only the ghost of Bin Laden to blame for the tragedy.

OK. It is 24 hours later now, and we are not getting much information about the Five Ws of this thing.

The numbers out of the Pentagon are baffling, as if Military Censorship has already been imposed on the media. It is ominous. The only news on TV comes from weeping victims and ignorant speculators.

The lid is on. Loose Lips Sink Ships. Don't say anything that might give aid to The Enemy. 

 

Sloan Bashinsky

On Larry King Live, I watched George Perot do his best to talk President Daddy Bush out of saving Kuwait from Saddam Hussein's army, because it didn't matter who ruled Kuwait, its oil would be sold to America, and Kuwait was not worth one American military casualty. it later came out that Saddam had polled the American ambassador regarding America's position on Iraq taking part of Kuwait, and the ambassador said America had no position on that. Taking that as a green light, Saddam sent his army into Kuwait. 

Iraq was an American ally against Iran. Saddam and Daddy Bush were buddies dating back to when Daddy Bush was Director of the CIA. I watched President Daddy Bush say on national television that he could not allow the American way of life to be threatened. It was Kuwait's oil he could not allow to be threatened. So, he formed the Coalition that Saudi Arabia allowed to stage within its borders to take Kuwait away from Saddam. 

It infuriated the Saudi Prince Osama bin Laden, who had been an American ally fighting the Soviet Union in Afghanistan, that his country had allowed infidel troops to operate out of Islam's most holy land. After 911, I read an open letter online from Osama to Americans, in which he explained what caused him to orchestrate 9/11, and he told Americans that President Baby Bush was easy to bait and they needed to replace him. 

Easy to bait. No shit. For what Osama hoped for more than anything was President Baby Bush would go to war in Afghanistan, which had been a graveyard for the Soviet Union and for England. 

Three nights before 9/11, I was asked by a familiar voice in my sleep, "Will you make a prayer for a Divne Intervention for all of Humanity?" I woke up, wondered what that was about, made the prayer, and went back to sleep. 

On 9/11, I hoped President Baby Bush would not start another Vietnam-like war in a distant land, which would be a terrible trap and would last a long time. It did not occur to me that President Baby Bush would start two such wars.

After American invaded Afghanistan, I got involved in a Christian Science Monitor discussion group about whether America should also invade Iraq, which, for all I saw, had nothing to do with 9/11. I was astounded over how many people in that discussion were rabid for America to also invade Iraq. I said it was a trap. It was not worth one American soldier casualty. I laid Jesus on them, who had said in the Gospels to resist not one who does evil, and to turn the other cheek and to pray for a do good to one's enemies. That set them ablaze. 

As time passed, it became crystal clear to me that the Iraq war, like the Vietnam, war, was an invented rich white men's war for corporate profit, in which black American troops in Iraq were picking those rich white men's cotton. I felt the same about the war in Afghanistan, which had immense natural mineral deposits and through which there long had been a dream of running a natural gas pipeline from the east into the Persian Gulf. Vice-President Cheney had been the CEO of Halliburton Industries, the likely candidate to build that pipeline. 

Clearly, President Baby Bush had turned the American military over to Cheney. Perhaps President Bush remembered that President John F. Kennedy had opposed a war in Vietnam and had been shot and killed. Then, his brother Bobby, when he was running for president, had opposed war in Vietnam and he was shot and killed. Then, Dr. Martin Luther King and Malcom X had opposed war in Vietnam and they were shot and killed. Perhaps Cheney had privately reminded Baby Bush of that? 

I was told in my sleep before Barack Obama received the Democratic Party nomination in 2016, that he had the potential to be the Anti-Christ. He proved it after he was elected and he accepted the Nobel Prize for Peace knowing he would continue the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.

After Donald Trump was elected president in 2016, he said that Afghanistan's and Iraq's natural resources should be monetized to repay America for its costs in those wars. 

By the time Joe Biden got elected president, America mostly was out of Iraq. Biden caught bloody political hell for pulling American troops out of Afghanistan. Now, he seems to be inching America into fighting Russia in Ukraine, where nuclear reactors are surrounded by exploding bombs and rockets.

So what was the Divine Intervention for which I was asked to pray? I don't have a clue, but the voice that has been with me since early 1987 put me up to run a spoof culture-jamming campaign for president, which was announced in two episodes of The Redneck Mystic Lawyer Podcast and at The Redneck Mystic Lawyer for President on the Unicorn ticket blog.

I am not a church person, and I’ve seen a whole lot of my prayers answered, sometimes very quickly, sometimes very dramatically.

Michael White 
Sloan Bashinsky Yes. All my prayers have been answered over my 57+ years but some of them took a darn long time to be answered, and often they were in forms that I could never have imagined in a gazillion years. The churches are just buildings and infrastructures that have to be funded by money. Good honest people who are sincere about their prayers are answered. Prayer is desire. It has to be heartfelt. Unfortunately I was born to a mother without one. Peace

Sloan BashinskyTop contributor
Michael White the angels taught me to pray for God’s will to be done in whatever situation I prayed for.

Michael White 
I pray the same...since 1989 when I put away childish things and became a man. 
I just peeked at your profile, and I lived in Atlanta for quite a few years and my kids went to school there after we returned from living in Germany. You have my vote.😃 
I am consciousness and memory. Only fear can prevent a human from realizing it. I walked thru my deepest carnal fear to reach enlightenment. It was a 56-year-long process of excruciating pain but equal and opposite beauty. Unconditional love. Cheers, and peace to you Randy. Thanks for sharing the post. Now back to work. I love every minute of this existence no matter what comes.

Sloan BashinskyTop contributor
Michael White heh, I don’t, but I get up each morning and start again.

Michael White 
Sloan Bashinsky Same here, and as a child I quickly learned how to make lemonade out of lemons. Life throws a lot of lemons at me. 

Sloan BashinskyTop contributor
Michael White few lemonades in my line of work, and few lemonades inside of me. It is what it is. The angels told me I would be pushed to my limits.

Michael White
Sloan Bashinsky That is very interesting. I have also had to push beyond all human limits in an incredible challenge to be free. That was one of my beautiful father's and my favorite movies when I was very young. We are the Acadians from Eastern Canada with MicMac in our blood as well. I do drink Country Time lemonade sometimes but I prefer orange Tang...like the astronauts.  I knew what my name meant (The Holy One) as a child. Is Bashinsky Polish by chance? I'm not offended if you want to keep that private. Cheers. Snowing here right now...but I love the cold.

Sloan BashinskyTop contributor
I did not push beyond human limits, but was pushed there by angels and I hung on, and still am hanging on, for dear life. I can't imagine any person actually understanding that, who has not experienced it. Paul and Peter demonstrate that in Acts, or at least some of what they experienced. My father's grandfather Leopold was a Polish Jew, who came to America in the late 1800s, one of his brothers followed him. The rest of that family eventually were killed by the Nazis. Leopold is the 4th person I memorialized in A FEW REMARKABLE ALABAMA PEOPLE I HAVE KNOWN, by a Southern Lawyer Who Became a Mystic. It can be read for free at its own blog and at the free internet library. The free library has a number of books I wrote, non-fiction and 3 novels, which present very different ways of relating to what this world serves up. This forum does not let me post links to the blog and the free library, but the links are in my FB profile. From what you have told me about your life, my path is very different from yours. No two people are alike, and thus no two people have the same path - tell that to religions😎 Tell that to social structures😎 To political parties😎

Michael White 
Sloan Bashinsky Thanks! I will do my best to read about Leopold as soon as I can. My father Joseph's best friend near the end of his days was his older brother Leopold. All good. It's 4 a.m. here in Alaska and time to sleep. I was never able to write until 2 years ago and finally I can write like the wind. I have well over 150K words for my PhD. and D.D.. I never wanted a degree because Christ never needed one, but silly humans won't even listen to a person without one...crazy world.

Sloan BashinskyTop contributor
Michael White I have 2 law degrees and so what? I think until people have their bell seriously rung by God like happened to Peter and Paul, or they are totally desperate and know they need God’s help no matter what it turns out to be, they aren’t ready for real change. When I get to my laptop, I’ll try to find you on Facebook and pm you a link to the book. It’s not a long book. I grew allergic to snow and ice when I lived in Colorado.

Sloan Bashinsky Yes, I see the world thru the faith of my human mother which is Catholic, but I rebelled against it for about 25 years, but I always believed in God. As you just said, I will paraphrase it from AA Recovery which is a Lutheran Christian program to help people recover from addictions and find a God of their OWN UNDERSTANDING, which is the only way a person can understand anything anyway, and the bottom line is that no person can truly recovery unless they hit a bottom. I am honored to meet you and enjoy conversing with an adult. I will be glad to read your work. I was born into a den of Wolves...all hurt children. I was also hurt, but no longer. I am responsible. I really need to get some sleep. I might wake up with a foot of snow on the ground and I'm not ready for the long darkness of a remote Alaska winter quite yet, but everything for me is falling into place. I could have used you when I lost every cent I had in a divorce two years ago...haha! All good. I am blessed.

Michael White I don’t think "of my understanding" was in the original twelve steps- it was just God, which is beyond human understanding, by any name called, but not beyond being recognized when something force majeure occurs.

Sloan Bashinsky I can't go to meetings at all but living by those principles is the way of Christ. I went far beyond that. Enlightenment is walking thru our most carnal fear. That was a process that took 56 years. It was all perfect timing, and I had a lot of help along the way. My real program would have been Survivors of Incest Anonymous. It is from the Socrates tragedy "Oedipus Rex", with the theme being kill your father, marry your mother. Since God was with me, she killed him indirectly with my flying monkey little brother Marc White. They hide behind the scenes in the government of Canada. That is why I served here in the US, and I why I went as high as an E-5 could go. Trusted all the way to the top. It's all I ever had to be...trustworthy like my beautiful and powerful man of faith father. Now I am quitting to catch a few hours sleep. My criminally insane mother is stuck in emotion at the high-school level of thinking...a very sick woman. Childhood boo-boos rot and fester over a lifetime. It is very sad but there is nothing I can do for her but keep her in my prayers. I tried 57 years to help her but finally quit last year. Nobody can judge me for not being able to heal her. I did my best.

Nobody can be saved who does not want to be saved. I think 12 step people know about and have to be ever watchful of falling into the rescue syndrome. Once when I was homeless and living in a half-way house program, although I was not an addict, I had to attend 12-step meetings every day, and right away the angels applied the 12 Steps to me and it was no fun and that's how I learned the 12 Steps were a for very real spiritual discipline. I sometimes spoke at meetings of dreams I was having about me, and one day an old timer came up to me after a meeting and introduced himself and said he found what I said interesting, and people in the program a while were going to have a meeting just among themselves and was I interested in coming? I said, sure. He asked me who was my sponsor? I said, God. He gave me the look, said I had learned nothing in those rooms. I said, I had read the Big Book and all the material on the walls, and there was nothing in any of it about having a human sponsor, and the entire program hinges on admitting insanity and that only God can fix it and inviting God to do just that. He turned and walked away. I seem to get into trouble everywhere I end up.  Imagine if God grabbed ahold of Joe Biden and Donald Trump, kinda like what happened with Saul on the road to Damascus, and started applying the 12 Steps to them, thus turning them every which-a-way but loose and upside down and inside out. What a sight that would be😎

What America needs now is a culture-jamming president

    Here is a link to the second redneck mystical lawyer for president on the Unicorn ticket podcast, "What American needs now is a culture-jamming president," followed by a brief description of the content.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WNjLjovK24Q

In this podcast, Unicorn ticket candidate for president Sloan Bashinsky uses examples from his private citizen and frequent candidate for local public office life, and well known American government and political events, to explain the dire need for a Resistance in America, which uses culture jamming, which Sloan calls hitting strike points, to disturb the status quo with the obvious, which logic cannot refute. Sloan's first act as president is declassify the US Government's ET files. He will pick a woman as his running mate and an all female cabinet, He will not use a press secretary, but will deal directly with the news media without a teleprompter. As Commander-in-Chief of the US Armed Forces, Sloan will ban Americans going with their money to Mexico, until Mexico stops the invasion of America through Mexico. Sloan will push Congress to legalize drugs derived from Nature, such as marijuana, cocaine, peyote, mescaline, ayahuasca, opium, and tax them like the drugs alcohol and tobacco are taxed. He will make American fully aware that herbs made by God were used by women since antiquity, and in early America, to prevent and end pregnancy. Ben Franklin described that in his book, The Instructor. Women were prevented from using God's herbs by religious freaks in state and national governments. And much more, including a 1999 culture-jamming hitching trip from Birmingham, Alabama to Seattle, Washington, during which Sloan researched a book he might write, Diary of a Redneck Mystic. 

    This was in my Facebook yesterday, and I took the bait:

I am not a church person, and I’ve seen a whole lot of my prayers answered, sometimes very quickly, sometimes very dramatically.

Randy VanderpoolAuthorTop contributor

Sloan, it's causality aka cause and effect. Things happen because of causality, not wishful thinking.

Sloan BashinskyTop contributor

Randy Vanderpool if you lived in my skin, you would see and think very differently. I’m on my iPhone, when I get to my laptop, I’ll tell you about the answer to the prayer I made in early 1987 that changed me from believing God and angels exist, to knowing they exist. And Evil, too- although that came later. With a relative few exceptions, church people, and non- church people don’t, or can’t, take in what I tell them.

Sloan BashinskyTop contributor

Randy Vanderpool I'm 81 years old. I grew up in Christendom, in Birmingham, Alabama, and by my mid-20s I stopped attending church. I later became interested in the New Age. I was struggling and I moved to Santa Fe, New Mexico, to start over. A year later, I realized the move had not worked. My second wife and I had broken up. I was out of bring ideas and felt like I had failed completely. One morning I prayed, "Dear God, I do not want to die like this, failed." I paused, added to the prayer, "I offer my life to human service." Maybe in that way, I might succeed, I hoped. About 10 days passed. Sleeping over with my new girlfriend, who was somewhat of a mystic, I woke up in the wee hours and saw two beings hovering above m in the darkness. They were white with a tinge of blue. They were shaped like shifts. I thought they were angels. I heard plainly, "This will push you to your limits, but you asked for it and we are going to give it to you." I remembered the prayer I had made. I saw a white flash and was physically and psychically jolted by something electrical. My body lurched. That happened two more times, quickly. The beings faded out. I was shaking and sweating. My girlfriend asked me what was going on? I asked her what she had seen and heard? She said she saw my body lurching. I asked her if she saw or heard the angels? She said, no. I told her what had happened. She laughed, said, "Let's go back to sleep you strange man." That's when it began for me. Slowly, at first. I was relocated to Boulder, Colorado. I met a new woman. The changes were in phases. I spent a great deal of time being stood before mirrors looking at myself. I thought the Boulder phase, which lasted 8 years, was the program. I was only the beginning. A lot of rough heaven and earth stuff happened in Boulder, and some of it was marvelous, and some of it was awful. After I returned to Birmingham, the marvelous ended and what I had thought in Boulder was horrible, was rather easy compared to what I then was put through. After that, I was sent back into the world, and there were tests after test after tests, and that's still in play. I am an example of someone who was captured, or conscripted, by angels known in the Bible, who turned me upside down and inside out and every which a way but loose, and changed my perspective of just about everything. I met a few people along the way, who themselves were being changed by angels, but of them, it seemed I was getting roughed up the most. They had not made the pray I made, and probably what's why. I wrote several books about my adventures, non-fiction and three novels, which now are free reads an internet library. archive.org Also, The Redneck Mystic Lawyer Podcast, which began 2 years ago, audio only on Spotify, then was launched on YouTube, and then was moved into the Torrent system, were there seemed to be much greater receptivity to different perspectives. I think all the podcasts now are accessible through Torrent, which is Greek to me. A tech friend about half my age made all of that happen. He was conscripted a few years ago and was steered to work with me, and he's had quite a ride with angels known in the Bible. He is not a church person. He belongs to no religion. Nor do I. He is being tested. I still am being tested. I am pretty sure that in God's Courtroom we all are being measured, regardless of what we believe or think. It's how we live that matters. Actions speak louder.

a bit about what it's like being 81 and always being on trial in God's Courtroom and being a unicorn watching America gone mad and playing chess

   President Joe Biden, 80, Catholic, keeps reminding the people on Maui that he had a kitchen fire in his home, and he keeps saying he has full confidence in his son, Hunter. Republican Speaker of the U.S. Senate Mitch McConnell, 80, Southern Baptist, twice recently froze up speaking on camera. Ex-President Donald Trump, 77, Heathen, keeps saying he had nothing to do with the January 6, 2021 insurrection to overthrow the presidential election and make him the U.S. President again.

   I claim angels captured former Episcopalian me in early 1987 and slowly and often painfully altered my view of just about everything, and eventually the angels got me involved in politics, which I despised, and still despise. While I can't prove angels exist, much less have anything to do with me, every practicing Christian, Jew and Muslim I have know believed angels, God and Evil exist. Reading my reams of writings available online and/or watching The Redneck Mystic Lawyer Podcast episodes proves my views are different. As does what I post at my Facebook page.

    I mostly lived in Key West and on Little Torch Keys from 2000-2018, where I spoke hundreds of times during citizen comments at city and county commission, school board and other public meetings. Starting 2003 and spanning into 2017, angels put me up to run six times for mayor of Key West, three times for county commission, and one time for school board. As an Independent. I did not seek or accept campaign contributions. I paid my candidate filing fees. I did not pollute roads and neighborhoods with "Vote for Sloan" signs. I wrote reams about what all I was up to on bigpinekey.com's hugely popular Coconut Telegraph public forum, and at my own blogs, which the owner of bigpinekey.com built for me. I participated in candidate forums and media interviews. I never expected to win and would have been shocked if I did win. I was the out of the box candidate. My perspective on every issue was different from the other candidates and the audiences' perspective. I was a... unicorn.  

    As for my personal life, I have lots of friends I visit face to face, talk with on the phone, text and chat with online. I grocery shop, go to the pharmacy, visit the Apple Store. I eat in restaurants, take walks and chat with people and pet their dogs on the street. I hang out in a coffee shop, I hang out in a public park and have a vegetable plot in a community garden. Several doctors look after me at their offices. Their specialities are: internist, gastroenterologist, urologist, neurologist, dermatologist, ENT, general dentistry. I see a physical therapist every week. I had successful, so far, prostate cancer radiation  therapy during the covid shut down. I had four Pfizer shots and caught Red China's gift over three weeks ago and still have a lingering cough and feel like I took a hit. I live with irritable bowel  syndrome, which suddenly onset in 1969 and never responded to medical treatment.

  At night, I'm home alone, preparing meals, playing chess  online, and watching movies on Netflix and Prime. On weekends, I watch professional golf tournaments and fall football games on TV. Sometimes I watch TV news, which along with all the commercials, convinces me America is in serious deep doo doo, and if I were a woman, I doubt I would want to bering a baby into this world. Two or three times a month, I take a neighbor lady friend out to dinner. Otherwise, I'm a monk.

    I write good bit on my and other people's Facebook and blogs, drawing upon what the angels taught me and my experience as a Birmingham, Alabama practicing attorney who clerked for a United States District Judge who used to drink moonshine, cussed and did not attend church, but darn well feared God. Judge Clarence W. Allgood presided over every federal criminal prosecution in north Alabama. 

    The most godly man I ever knew, Judge Allgood is the first person memorialized in A FEW REMARKABLE PEOPLE I HAVE KNOWN- afewremarkablealabamapeople.blogspot.com. Then come five more exceptional Alabama people, who deeply influenced me in my youth, including my mother's Episcopal minister, who told his Vestrymen, if they did not allow blacks to worship in the church he had built from scratch, he would close the church.

    I stopped attending church decades ago, because church wasn't working for me. Years later, angels showed me that I'm always in church. What human church did Jesus in the Gospels build? He didn't build one. He was in church wherever he was. He said his church was not of this world. He said to be in but not of this world. For a very long time, I have felt like I'm in God's Courtroom, where everyone, including me, is on trial.

  When I'm not shooting off my mouth online, I play chess several days a week with a black pastor, who serves several rural churches south of Birmingham. He, several other old farts and I play chess one day a week at a senior citizen center. I play a lot of chess online, chess.com. Chess seriously challenges my mind, wits and ego.

    For most of my life, chess terrified me, because I was so bad at it. In early 2005, in Key West, a familiar voice told me in my sleep, "Sloan, you need to learn how to play chess." I woke up, terrified. Since I was a boy, I knew how the pieces moved, but I had no clue beyond that. I didn't recall ever winning a game of chess. I once had a girlfriend, who was very good at chess, and she beat me so badly that I felt like a fucking idiot. For several years, I had been hanging out in two places in Key West where a lot of chess was played, so I went there to do the dream's bidding. I got mangled and my feelings got hurt and my ego got shredded, but I was not about to tuck and run after having that dream.

    In August 2005, my father died and I was in Birmingham for about 6 months. There was a soul food restaurant I liked in downtown Birmingham, run by a black fellow, who was Muslim. The restaurant was across the street from the 16th Street Baptist Church, which Atlanta Klansmen had bombed in the 1960s, I think, killing quite a few black adults and children worshipping God. A couple of storefronts down from the restaurant, I saw on the glass window, Birmingham Chess Club. Inside, I saw an old black man, and I went in and talked with him. He said they played after work every week day, and I was welcome to join them. I was there at 5 that afternoon. White me and about 20 black men. They made me play touch rules, which was terrifying. Up to then, I was picking up a chess piece and moving it, and if I didn't like what I saw, I put it back and picked up another piece and moved it, and maybe I did that again. They broke me of that. Even if I barely touched a piece, they said I had to move it. The white guys in Key West had never made me play real chess. I played touch rules after that. When I moved from Key West back to Alabama and played chess and someone played the way I used to play, I said, I play touch rules. That didn't go over well sometimes, but I stuck with it and they came around. In life, I do something badly, I get a mulligan?

    My tech friend Bob and I did the redneck mystic lawyer podcasts at night on Zoom from our homes in different states. You heard Bob. You saw and heard me. I used no scripts. I went into a podcast with two or three ideas for topics, and it went from there. When I went to candidate forums in Key West and the Florida Keys, what I would say to the audience in my opening statement allowed to all candidates came to me as I was en route to the forum.

    But for Bob, there never would have been a redneck mystic lawyer podcast, because I am a tech idiot and there is no cure for it. Thanks to Bob, YouTube and Torrent, people all over the world can amuse or abuse themselves watching the add-free podcasts for free. Thanks to Bob, Torrent and archive.org, people all over the world can read many of my books for free. The books reflect the thinking of someone who was captured by angels known in the Bible and then was turned upside down and inside out and every which-a-way but loose, and stood before endless mirrors, for a long time, to the point that he lives in ongoing fear of crossing God and/or screwing up something he is given to do.

    I don't think my pastor chess friend has reached that stage, but he seems to have loosened up a bit about my cussing when I fuck up a chess game, because sometimes he cusses when he fucks up a chess game, but he never says fuck, so he's still got a ways to go.

   Tonight, Bob and I plan to do a second campaign podcast, during which I will mention a few other things I would do as president, the first of which is declassify and make available to the public all US Government files on ETs, which star wars outburst would turn every religion and political party upside down and inside out. I also want to mention that I'm running on the Unicorn ticket, and there is a campaign blog, which I started after the first campaign podcast.

    Some of redneckmysticlawyerforpresident.blogspot.com is kinda funny, some of it is kinda not funny. It can be read anonymously by anyone. It is not recommended for young children. Redneck men and women cuss, however, I'm no more a redneck than are Joe Biden, Mitch McConnell and Donald Trump. The podcast's title is a spoof, but it got lots of laughs and attaboys from people I knew before and after it was launched. In hindsight, perhaps that title wasn't a good idea, but the angels on my case have seemed okay with it.

    Here are different links to the first redneck mystic lawyer for president campaign podcast.
