Graduation
It was around June or July or August of last year that Susan emailed and called, each a rarity in itself. I had only months ago but recently found out how and why I had been lied to for decades. My mother and only real, living relative had died. I hope she lived happily well into her 90’s. I reacted poorly.
When at 64 years of age I finally set about pressing to find out about my family future I had one goal: no more stealing from my brother and sister. Every single pot, tool, computer, painting, file, personal item was taken. It was decades in the making. That is not doing the right thing and legal recourse is reserved for those who will not do the right thing on their own.
Now the story comes to or toward an end–it is told below, at least from a concise, formal, legal or probate perspective. I could see it coming, I am relieved to get it out, but I am not glad I did it. When I was deposed by my brother, lurking from a hidden video feed, I knew I was right. It had to be done.
Of course it still needs to be filled-in from the protagonist’s point of view, with records and documents. That may not happen; regardless, it will not change the story. That will not change what really happened.
It had to be done because my parents deserve it. History cannot ignore the hegemony. Most narcissists mellow with age; those who do not can be dangerous. The warning is they bring others down with them. I owe that, the future, to my parents too.
I have one more thing to do, plus a lot of smaller things: The Shyster Email. From 5/25/24, will remain private.

Trump and Others

It is a new definition of peer. The 23 of them the first time thinks some of them lied. Make no mistake, Jack Smith will get convictions, but this one, the 10-day countdown is just starting.
You can confess. You can plead. If you continue you will be eviscerated. And if you lie it will be worse.

Ukraine: the Counter Offensive
Podcast Interview
Q. We have been hearing about this counter offensive for months. Even Ukrainians are saying ‘Get on with it!’ What do you make of it?
A. It is going on now. Russia is not making gains. They are fortifying, recruiting, and basically reorganizing–not a strong skill–the old, vast, and corruption-eaten stores of equipment. Civilians are being evacuated. Infighting, i.e., dismissals and complaints from the Wagner Group, seemingly the only actual, on the ground Russian warriors, are distracting. There is no way you can hide in plain sight, at least not a thousand miles or more of it. It is all a very wise distraction.
Bitty attacks are appearing in the news–so a fraction of what is actually happening–but it is happening.
No F-16s, but the quote going around is 98% of planned, requested, effective weapons are delivered. Soldiers are trained and familiar. At this point there is no evidence trenches, mines, or Russian equipment can match the Ukrainian force. This is of course not including the huge advantage the natives have over the oppressors–morale and all that comes with it, and geography too.
Q. Why are you so certain it is not just a thing, or that it is, or will be, a big thing?
This is Ukraine’s chance to rid themselves from Russia. Maybe not their only chance, but their best chance.
Q. Will Ukraine succeed?
Let’s go back to the objectives. The major one is to stop Russia from doing it again. Georgia, Moldova, the Baltic States, and certainly Finland and Sweden, are safer today than they were a year ago. For the rest of the democratic world it is a giant test market. Out with the old in with the new, all at the expense of Russia.
Ukraine, in turn, wants the support. It is only securing its place in future, formal inclusion. Aside from the U.S., Ukraine has the strongest army in Europe (assuming Russia is not a part). It’s economy has huge potential both as a supplier and as a market. Ukraine is, as we watch, overcoming its corruption problem.
They are succeeding in repelling Russia and protecting their country. As an example, F-16s, as with NATO, will come eventually–I am not attaching a date and it may take 10 years–as the integration becomes more complete.
It may have been inconceivable that any country would

America in 2023
Just like Simon & Garfunkel, today I am writing about America. But I will be more specific: Americans.
Things to watch and read are Ethan Crumbley parents, , the Murdaugh Family, and Theresa Felton Cain . A name to remember is Morgan Doughty.
These are the worst times I have seen in my life and I am 63. Of course things are split between the haves and the have-nots. Some of the haves want more; some of the have-nots cannot survive.
https://nymag.com/intelligencer/article/oxford-school-shooting-ethan-crumbley-parents.html
The first is about “the character of the Crumbleys” and “a pound of flesh.” I lived and went to high school and college, where I studied psychology and anthropology, in Michigan. I understand it a little.
Living in a small house in Oakland, MI during Covid and winter while married with kids and trying to make a living is hard. I could never do it. Instead I am sitting here in Colorado receiving checks rather than writing them.

The Line
If you feel you have a legal right to enter my property, please explain it.
It is one of those that takes a little longer or a little more experience. I experienced it and wrote about it around 20 years ago. I can barely remember. It was probably Comcast. You (they) think no one is watching. It is open space. I think gist was I caught someone redhanded. . And they tried to cover it up. But, the supervisor was super-responsive and somehow I ended up satisfied.
At the time there was no fence. A pole climber could walk under the wires to the next pole and not bother me one bit. They always climb from the uphill side. The poles and wires are all over my uphill neighbors’ property. The road, for access, the closest, most direct path to the poles and the wires, is right in front of their homes.
Little did I know that the promises are not long-lasting. And there is still CenturyLink and Xcel to deal with. Xcel is the worst and most frequent.
There are a lot of clues from the trucks to the preliminaries to the work itself. The work itself is telegraphed too; this time it was with crampons, not a ladder; this enabled two at a time. I watched as they strapped them on and off, put a stap over their shoulders, grab all sorts of other “kit,” and trudge along a path that does not exist. I knew they would try/do it and I asked them to stop. Without even identifying themselves or the reason for the encroachment, they jingled and trudged on.
The gear is like a weapon.

My Lifeguard Week
“When are we going to make love again?” Kelly (Kathleen Quinlan) asks Rick (Sam Elliott), the lifeguard.
From there most people would probably think it is over.
Of course it is a movie and it isn’t real. You may have seen parts before but like me you didn’t pay attention. It is perfect. It is part fantasy and mostly reality. It is just as real and not real now. I love coming of age movies.
It makes me want to watch The Big Chill (1983).
The ending is a surprise with an even happier or sadder outcome. That depends on your perspective. You may also look deeper, if you want to. You are free to choose.
It has a “quiet philosophy of personal fulfillment” (link). Ratings on Amazon Prime are huge.
From the movie Lifeguard (1976). Sung by Dale Menten. Words and music by Paul Williams.
“Put it in a loop,” I read somewhere, maybe even here. If you look a little closer at the whole review on the site, there’s another great line by author Heath Holland: “I love how easy it is to watch.”
Here it is in HD. And another reviewer who cannot stop.
It is the story of Rick–Sam Elliott better than you have ever seen him before–as a very lucky guy. It is the Me Generation and all the characters are all exactly who they want to be, from the kids ripping bathing suits off young women in the surf to Cathy, Rick’s most prominent girlfriend, who is into the dollars and status. Sometimes it is so sappy it makes you realize the seriousness just the same. They are so real it is hard to believe they are made-up and from a time almost 50 years ago.
The original screenplay, direction, and music are all excellent. My God, Southern California, the beach, Porsches, and beautiful women and men. You are there and living in a different time too.
The plot, I won’t spoil it and there are not many ways to do that anyway given its simplicity. “Look man, will you just shut up!… Why don’t you just take that one, man, it goes with the suit!” I’m getting over the endless loop. Ms. Quinlan steals it, and as yet another reviewer failed to conclude, it isn’t about sex or whether she is 17 or 18 years old in the movie. It is all so simple–so easy to watch. There is nothing and everything deeper than what you see. Everyone knew exactly what they were doing, they just didn’t know why.
Now I do. Watch it and you will too.

Corruption in the News
Early news is that Ukrainian defense minister Oleksii Reznikov for corruption. Apparently, the spy chief, the guy who is always right and knows everything, will replace him.
But it hasn’t happened yet although it has been out there for maybe two weeks.
The real mystery is, corruption how?
Apparently it has to do with two things. One is something having to do with food distribution. The other may have something to do with supplies.

Human Nature
A man may labor and toil to obtain a certain kind of leisure in retirement and then find that after all he yearns for the old days and the old occupations he had thought himself so glad to leave. I have already… the study of human nature.
A journal had came into my possession a journal in which a murderer had taken the trouble to record for posterity the thoughts that had accompanied a crime most dastardly. Rarely have I come across such bitterness, such envy and contempt of others, such haughtiness misplaced.

Discover(y)
After 2 months they responded. The question is how?
They failed to address the biggest issue of fraud. You can’t sell something that is a “system error.” You have to provide a refund and stop selling it. The trouble here is both Discover and Boost kept trying to sell it. After 9 months Boost capitulated and provided something of–not entirely corrected–a refund. Discover continues to try and charge me for nothing at all, plus late fees and they continue to threaten (e.g., bogus credit hits).
It is so bad and ingrained neither of these companies are ones I will use again. With Boost I cancelled my other account; I’ve tried to cancel Discover most of this year.
I’m getting sidetracked… How? Boost sells them and if you aren’t really diligent they get away with it. They do this by routing any problems to foreign agents who are exasperating and completely unhelpful. If you cannot deal with everything automated and seemingly explained, don’t use them. If they say something is something, and it is not, that is fraud. Such things are generally covered by the state; most states have something similar to what was called the Colorado Consumer Protection Act.
Discover… How?
I’ll start by being vague. Now, at Christmastime as I conclude my fraud and corruption story for the year, two things stick out:
- Hiding. No email support, perhaps chat for the simplest things only, and unusable foreign reps. Frequent email harassment is Do Not Reply. Websites are for company-provided information only, e.g., secure email. It is all a conscious attempt to avoid.
- Departmentalization. This includes hiring people at low-level jobs who are only able to perform minimal tasks. They are not empowered; they don’t know what anyone else is doing and they don’t have any power over it anyway. Don’t like it? “Sorry, that’s all I can do.”
Both of these are hugely impacted by Covid and hiring problems. A lot of people are unsupervised and working at home.
To repeat what is above, listening and dealing with individual circumstances may or may not be the way it works. If you tell the person who (finally) answers the phone “This is fraud!” that isn’t likely to lead to a solution. Everyone is trained, they work off scripts, and as noted above, purposely denied authority. The result is it changes the dialogue and through organization and management it is intended.
Discover:
- no one capable of researching the issue or addressing customer concerns.
- continuous No Reply misinformation and threats; must call this number–someone will only demand payment, probably after a lot of effort to get just to that point.
- ignoring correspondence and evidence.
- lying/covering-up.
Why?
Increase/maintain profits. I.e., cheat people. That may be the motive, although not the outcome. Hard to believe they would do this over $243. Very poor management. And, they think they can get away with it.

I am going to start with the files uploaded to Discover in March. They are:
Back to this finally. How?
The Uniform Consumer Credit Code is a key to how and why credit card companies act as they do. Colorado is one of 9 states to “adopt” it. This is 18% of states but if you look at which ones are included, it is far from that percentage of the U.S. population.
Credit card companies can basically assume guilt. When you don’t pay as they demand they are allowed to yelp and report to credit agencies. Do you have to actually pay? That requires a court order.
The Uniform Consumer Credit Code (UCCC) is a code of conduct that governs consumer credit transactions. It provides guidelines for laws related to the purchase and use of all types of credit products from mortgages to credit cards. It is intended to protect consumers who use credit from fraud and misinformation.
15 U.S. Code. How to find? Start with 15 U.S. Code § 1692e – False or misleading representations. That’s not it.
unconscionable transactions
fraud
The code also limits so-called unconscionable transactions. These deals are usually subject to interpretation but refer to negotiations that are so overwhelmingly one-sided as to be deemed unenforceable. These unilateral practices may include warranty disclaimers or the blatant misrepresentation of products.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaslighting
This explains it. Right from the start. That is what I mean by known and intentional.
Overall, this case is simpler than others I have worked on. There is less communication. The evidence is brief and completely convincing.
The product is fraudulent. (check and end-April email)
Discover failed to act, as they are required-to and they said they did. (my letter and emails, March/April; no indication or proof of investigation; deleting uploads; immediately and continuously denying dispute; failure to communicate/respond)
They still won’t come clean. (Lying to CFPB via low-level employee)
They take the measures of blaming me and lying about my credit. (threatening email; credit hits)
From the Wiki link above:
Obfuscation
Abuser deliberately obfuscates an issue.
Withholding
Abuser pretends not to understand the victim.
Countering
Abuser will vehemently call into question a victim’s memory in spite of the victim having remembered things correctly.
Blocking and diverting
Abuser changes the conversation from the subject matter to questioning the victim’s thoughts and controlling the conversation.
Trivializing
Abuser makes the victim believe his or her thoughts or needs are not important.
Forgetting and denial
Abuser pretends to forget things that have really occurred; the abuser may deny or delay things like promises that are important to the victim. Although anyone can deny or delay, the gaslighter does it regularly in the absence of real external limitations. The gaslighter may make up or create artificial barriers to allow themselves to deny or delay that which is important to the victim.
