The Flying Philosopher: October 2014

Hearing earlier about the nurse from Colorado

Hearing earlier about the nurse from Colorado, suspected of being exposed t the Emboli virus,(a contagious disease) seems to have transcended the disease. Being under suspicion, she was quarantined in New Jersey.

The very nature of the quarantine may be cause for celebration. But in this instance the 21 day period gives rise to the nurse hiring a legal eagle to argue the quarantine is suppressive..

A step forward may be a protocol for the welfare and survival of the species but for the nurse in this instance, doesn’t it compel a moment of personal discovery.

III

Anyone who is blessed with good health; not having fever and bodily functions in question, the nurse’s case for an invasion of her freedom to travel, without any limitations, may in some quarters be unconscionable That the protocol insures public safety; the virus from the invisible is cause for contendinghealth professionals overreacted.

Where is there a reign of terror? Wasn’t Florence Nightingale a proponent of making humanity more human. Madame Curie going forward as a woman, raising the consciousness of herblood cultures

No one represses the nurse’s voice, repressing her “TyphoidMary” connotation. In weighing her sound in the chorale of dissenting voices in the cosmos , could it be interpreted as asound track short circuiting......

Those public health pros: their passionate protocols wherever: Dallas, D.C. New York, New Jersey, an armada of “diagnosis”from hospitals across the nation and West Africa, replicatingprotocols.

Quarantine is not a measure of imprisonment. Simply put an example of furthering the dialogue, the commitment of protocols, advancing the threshold of medicine to its highest….significant response where the public interest is threatened fromthe virus’s death dealing inevitability.

“Doctor Livingston, I presume,” said Spencer Tracy as Stanley,discovering Sir Cedric Hardwicke in the West African underbrush.

While it sees thousands and thousands of years ago

While it sees thousands and thousands of years ago, on the Ocean Park boardwalk in Southern California, a Royal CanadianMounted Policeman got on his knees and sang “Rose Marie I love you”, to a fresh and dreamy Jeanette Macdonald, the Canadian Rockies in the background.

On hearing about the onslaught by a lone deranged killer of aNelson Eddy Mountie ranger 24 hours earlier… being mowed down by a way out disturbed Islamic sympathizer, brain washed by their sound and fury..

Doesn’t it seem the outrage has gone beyond the Ottawa Parliament building and that these tides of insanity are a deranged compact with demoniac streams of consciousness. The startling inhumanity scores attention: the image and ideas of lost souls, gaining the egotism in their dementia that hat they couldn’t get when they were alive and striving for recognition and realization in a Royal Canadian Nelson Eddy love duet.

Why his brain neurons short wired this invasion in Ottawa maybe a microcosm of Freud’s “Civilization against theDiscontents”

A paradox indeed!

III

There is a disillusionment when these humans no longer able to reconcile themselves with the myths their twisted contemporaries exist by.

But for all those humans on the Ocean Park boardwalk, thefantasized handsomeness of Nelson Eddy in his uniform, singing to an enthralled Janette Macdonald…sounds like anancient vintage from the La Brea tar pits.

The Saber tooth tigers out of grrr…l cruelty had no musical memory. “Rose Marie, I love you” beyond their Alley Op and Denny the Dinosaur range of Bach preludes Haydn symphonies Mozart melodies and Beethoven’s odes of Joy in his Ninth...

Ah Horatio

“Ah Horatio, do our fears of the Ebola virus smother whatever virtues we once had.

“ Love thy neighbor” dismissed and “dissed” by the sound and fury in neighboring Staten Island, the virus’s venomous rattle snake cobra poison, pitching neighbor against neighbor.

III

Ideals giving way to the fear of dying, the gang lynching andfear of the unknown. The calm voice of Henry Fonda pleading to the crowd.. Not able to shake the Staten Island natives in their erupting hostility toward the imported Liberians from West Africa ages ago.

Atrocities and indifference bereft the 20th century norm: Yellow badges laid the foundation for emasculating Love thy neighbor .The soulful nature of a “Doctor Zhivago”fear of being branded an outsider by the majority …. power to snake bite the “love thy neighbor” into an apparition of the Magna Carte…..Marie Antoinette’s “If they want bread, let them eat cake”

Here on Staten Island, the once proud importation of Liberians from West Africa gives rise to panic and fear, the majority taunting the minority. Bullying and teasing the former natives of Liberia, a nation modeled on the values and Democratic virtues of our own Republic.

Capacious fear of the unknown permeates the network, doesn’t it? Survival of the fittest taunts the virus, whether it exists in the in the quarantined protocols, the patient’s fever is the staging area for the Emergency rooms across Staten Island’s teaching hospital or Bellevue across the Verrazano Narrows Bridge into the Big Apple.

For all the talk of protocols and the good sense, the capricious virtue still has the snake bite to undermine Love thy neighbor. The strength of character, its profound “maintain” in face of abdicating flesh and body.

All Staten Islanders are vulnerable. But to label fears of the natives against their original neighbors from West Africa is to compound the virus’s deadliness, the human’s survival , the origin being across two oceans and land a Continent asunder.

The imported neighbors don not have to justify their existence. The Salem, Massachusetts witch hunt trial, the defendantwearing her guilt on her sleeve, is not a farfetched as Arthur Miller’s “Crucible”, yet is seems to be a mirror image of the Staten Island majority, maligning the Liberians.

Surely the virus isn’t the poison ivy of our East Flatbush origins. The blood transfusions when no penicillin was lacking in I the emergency rooms of that time, the fated protocol in these days of the Staten Island “Tempest”

“Hold back the dawn, Horatio”

“To hot to handle”

“To hot to handle” seems to emasculate wasting the natives ofSierra Leone, Liberia and Guinea outbreak of the West Africa disease to the Northern Hemisphere and the States. Particularly Texas. . The emboli virus has infected the nurse who selflessly tried to save the life of the first infected human who died some forty days go. In his apartment, the nurse exposed to the viruswhile attending him..

Protocols, for the embolus the virus? The calibration of the emboli virus across the nation takes medical aggression..Antibody the Center for Disease Control. Protective “armory”, a higher state re of consciousness, relating back to 1942 where “Emile Zola” Dr. Erlich’s Magic Bullet”

“Where is Florence Nightingale? To rethink the protocols for destroying the virus before it metamorphoses into its death dealing anti bodies ,attacking the immune system, blood antibodies hopefully inculcating an attack on the vrus..

III

Surely the medical leadership in the Big Apple contained “Typhoid Mary”. Why couldn’t Paul de Kruef and his in hisattack on microbes”……..the actor Robert Montgomery’ attack on malaria….yellow fever in the tropics?

Paul De Kruef, the University of Michigan microbe hunter; he post graduate aggression into medicine was concomitant with Sinclair Lewis’s “Arrow smith”

Earler Madame Curie and her husband Pierre Radium and thorium a consequential discovery by the Polish chemist and scientist, along with her husband won the Nobel Prize A blood plasma?.

Although it demands a rethinking about actor Robert Montgomery, his first medical role on the silver Hollywoodscene .

The actor wore his identification (“Night must fall) with theDoctor, who relentlessly attacked the malaria virus…

Where the virus was characterized as the malaria transmission inthe Tropics? The dramatization of the invisible.. Emile Zola attack on infectious diseases: high fever, sweats…..the urgency for rethinking the “To hot to handle”

Time is the essence before our minor planet is threatened by thecontagious tropical killer.

Sierra Leone, Guinea and Liberia….

A cyber space fire wall…”Hold back the dawn”’

Octob er 14, 2014….The City that nev sleeps. The search for“Doctor Erlich’s“ Magic Bullet”” ….

Microbe Hunter Paul de Kruef

Microbe Hunter Paul de Kruef, Doctor Arrow Smith of Sinclair Lewis’s creation, Emile Zola of Devil’s Island fame, DoctorErlich of the “Magic Bullet”, Madame Curie and her husband Pierre, in the laboratory, testing antibodies into the immune system.

Florence Nightingale where are you, when the planet desperately needs you?

A quantum leap back to a typhoid fever coma of 30 days, the final rites for the asking, when a blood transfusion turned the death rattle, the patient’s eyes opening.

The chief nurse in her operative protective gear, Only slits for eyes, the quarantined gear covering her, protective from infectious diseases…tThe constancy shift I n the contagious stream of consciousness, a revision in the protocols

Here then is the crucible. The high stakes of crunching survival A breathtaking emboli virus infection, sweeping from one Continent to North America..

I sign my name in your book

“Just because I sign my name in your book of relativity doesn’t mean you’re obliged to read it. “William Faulkner wrote in HerrDoctor Einstein’s book, the two men, living around the corner, in Princeton, New Jersey, post World War 2, the Vietnam LBJ –McNamara struggle playing out beyond our shores.

Adlai Stevenson on the campaign trail for the White House,speaking across the street that nigh at Princeton University . “I’ m ready for my close up, Mister White House.”

Therefore hence thus began our collection of some 38 letters addressed to our father.. the Name Detective (FM radio, downtown Brooklyn) prior to World War 2 and
Winston Churchill’s debut as Prime Minister across the pond at 10 Downing Street, London, his mother born in Brooklyn Heights a stone’s throw from the radio studio.

Hence therefore this our cache of 38 letters and one document (the Public Television Act of 1967)begins our recapitulation, if not resurrection, of our “What’s in a name?” historical letters from the White House of President Harry S. Truman and hisCongressional confidants, among his Five Star Generals (Marshall, Eisenhower, and Omar Bradley ( his roles at the Veterans Administration, Bulova Watch, and the WarDepartment.

Our family’s “longest day” constitutes publishing 38e originalletters the old fashioned 20th Century way, into the origin of United State Senators, Congressmen, Big Apple civic leaders and a legal eagle who n to discarded his Wall Street civies forkhakis in France, heading up the CIA, World War2.

Therefore hence thus “What’s in a name?” established a postcyber space Microsoft D Day, at President Truman’s library in Independence, Missouri.

Inasmuch as your character is your fate, FDR’s one timerunning mate, distinguished his S. in Harry S. Truman on his surname’s origin, while sharing his sleepless nights (the nuclearattack on Hiroshima and Nakaski. General Curt Lemay…Colonel Doolittle in their own commanding pilots state of mind.

Remembering Churchill’s mother was born in Brooklyn Heights, a recapitulation of the Fuhrer’s dementia…. Adolph Hitler in that Berlin bunker, 1945..,

Senator Saltonstall of Massachusetts, JFK’s predecessor,navigated his lineage to the Magna Carta of1215, the Royals signing in and henceforth serfs were no longer trapped by the Royals, the Magna Carta liberating them from slave labor forever.. an aftermath of William the Conqueror, laying the foundation in 1066, his revolution sweeping the Continent..

The proof of the prowess of General Marshall and his legendary role in selecting “Ike” to led the Normandy invasion an head up the Marshall plan, rehabilitating Europe’s ravages….Ike becoming President of Columbia, the visibility prompting the forces to be, in his to run for the Truman White House,. theaforementioned General Omar Bradley, his divine presencecontinuing on the planet at the V.A..

Between the letters of Senators Estes Kefauver and Coffee “coffee” The coon cap, the Adlai Stevenson counterpoint of the Democratic ticket, claimed his aunt living on the Big Apple’s Wes Side was the authority into the Kefauver heritage..

Meanwhile Senator Cofee stipulated his Gaelic Irish genealogical origins…..”Coffee tea or milk” the theme of the stewardesses, the post world war moved into the “hurry up,we’ll be late” jet age…with a small degree of pot in the overhead compartment.

Perhaps the Name Detective’s “What’s in a name?” transcended Cecil B. DeMille’s Biblical epics, ”I’m ready for my close up, Mister Name Detective”, yet the correspondence is what peopletake for granted, in piloting their living testaments through theCenturies. Their surnames!.

“I’m ready for my close up.”

Senator Gerry of Massachusetts wrote January 18, 1945 that his father pioneered the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, ”the first of its kin d in the world” , a foreshadowing of Justice Brandeis finding that Oregon violated child labor laws. Oregon v Muller.
