And King Arthur, appointed Prez that year, immediately moved to increase that.
Then within 14 months he’d added another $9,000,000,000.
He also launched Alliance for Progress, a program that claimed to emphasize social reform in South America to better the lives of The Barbarians.
But in practice it was military aid to keep right-wing dictators in power and fight off impending revolutions.
By ’62, based on a series of made-up scares about Red military build-ups, The Homelan had achieved overwhelming nuclear superiority.
A permanent war economy ensured The Homelan’s wealth distribution remained locked in place.
And when King Arthur presented his budget after his first year in office, The NYT reported “. . . he has been trying to reassure the business community that he does not want any cold war with them on the home front.”
The conservative giants of Dallas all appointed each other to each other’s boards and intermarried, driven by a feral Capital-ist ideology that transcended party affiliation.
And Executive Order 11905, known as “The Assassination Ban,” stated: “No employee of the Homelan Government shall engage in or conspire to engage in political assassination.”
But these guys were absolutely OK with assassinating democratically elected foreign leaders.
They helped The CIA remove—or attempt to remove— Guatemala’s Arbenz, The Dominican Republic’s Trujillo, Congo’s Lumumba, Chile’s Allende, Cuba’s Castro, Indonesia’s Sukarno, Iran’s Mossadegh, and Vietnam’s Diem.
And they had their man inside La Casa Blanca: L-BJ.
L-BJ said re: Diem: “We killed him. We all got together and got a goddam bunch of thugs and assassinated him.”
King Arthur opposed The Oil Depletion Allowance.
And he bolstered civil rights, which undermined cheap labor.
Thus he bashed at the crux of these men’s wealth and power.
Pops burst into politics in the spring of ’62, voracious to obtain the status that Grandfather enjoyed.
Grandfather abruptly withdrew from his own senate re-eleccion campaign which was already well underway.
And he pulled aside The Party’s County Chairman to solicit a position for Pops.
The Chairman guaranteed him that everyone was keeping their eyes peeled for the exact right spot for Pops to land.
And then The Chairman stepped aside and Pops got his position.
In one year, Pops went from the sidelines to Finance Co-chair, then County Chairman, then US Senate hopeful; a career course as likely as shooting a polar bear in Mexico, everyone joked.
As both County Chairman and candidate, Pops had plausible reason to visit wealthy oilmen and assemble a team all over TX.
Pops has recently promised Moste that as soon as he becomes Prez he’ll appoint Moste to be the ambassador to Ireland.
This is a gesture of gratitude for Moste having worked on every one of Pops’s presidential campaigns.
And long before that, Moste also tried to convince Fxord that he should name Pops as his Vice Prez.
Fxord is the only person to’ve ever been Vice Prez and Prez sans eleccion to either position.
Nxn’s Vice Prez, Agnew, resigned after being indicted for receiving bribes from Maryland contractors, and Fxord was appointed.
And then, of course, Nxn resigned.
So Pops was almost appointed Vice Prez six years before he did get the job under The Actor.
Moste also worked in Nxn’s office, Nxn and Deen bouncing ideas off him.
But before that he was CIA, based in Dallas, debriefing people as they returned to The Homelan after time abroad.
He invited GDM to lunch in ’62.
Moste made no specific demands or requests of GDM, but he did give him the address of an ex-Marine just returned home from Minsk, suggesting that GDM might like to meet this young man.
He gave GDM the clear impression that he’d appreciate any information he could learn about this young man, Ozzy.
CHAPTER 19 Re: King Charles II
Two hyenas don’t muster the energy to fight every time they come across each other.
Their every interaction affirms and deepens the established social order until the submissive challenges the dominant.
Nature rewards antagonistic behavior with a dominant social role, access to food, and mating possibilities.
The meek need to weigh the cost-benefit ratio of a challenge.
The top three bonnet macaque males account for over 75% of all mating within their population.
These higher-ranking offspring have a better survival rate, not only cuz they’re more physically fit, but they also receive the spoils of being The Prince.
This system repeats in rodents, most carnivores, and the dwarf mongoose.
Whether it’s the hopping dark-eyed junco or oystercatchers, the dominant couple in most monogamous bird species always gets the best territories with better food and water and less predators.
But even without a hundred pound crown, defending your spoils against the envious many can be exhausting.
High ranking brings inherent costs: a higher metabolic rate and higher stress hormones.
Despite their many extra appendages like gunpowder and telephones, the dimly sentient blobs ultimately remain subject to these same fundamental laws of nature.
Higher genetic variation means better health.
The isolated polygamous communities of Utah suffer incredibly high rates of severe mental retardation.
One study estimated their average IQ to be about 25.
And the Vadoma Tribe in western Zimbabwe mostly have two toes.
I don’t know exactly what’s wrong with having only two toes, but I do know that it’s uncommon.
Common physical health defects of inbreeding include:
- Reduced fertility, both in litter size and sperm viability
- Increased genetic disorders
- Autoimmune diseases like multiple sclerosis
- Cancers
- Ciliopathies
- Cleft palate
- Diabetes
- Heart Disease
- Hypertension
- Inflammatory bowels
- Mental retardation
- Mood disorder
- Obesity
- Refractive error
- Infertility
- Fluctuating facial symmetry
- Lower birth rate
- Higher infant mortality
- Slower growth rate
- Smaller adult size
- Loss immune system function
And that most famous genetic disease circulated among European royalty: Hemophilia.
These facts attest to
