Stephen's Secure Blog #353
These stories about Stephen began was when he was 10 years old, and
moving to a new part of the country to attend a special school for
gifted students, in the 1950's. This was from a time before computers
would fit on a desk, and when people communicated with friends in other
countries by actual letters sent through the postal service. He wrote
225 of them to a friend. He stopped writing to his penpal, but found he
still wanted to record his life, in case he lost his memory again, and
wrote 30 entries in his first logbook. Then he wrote to an artificial
intelligence called Geenee, in the master computer in his school for
gifted students, which he started attending in 2016. Now it's after
2018, and he's continuing to save his memories in a secure blog.
All characters are fictitious, even if some of them might have names
that belong to some actual people, or act like people we know.
The stories may not be posted in chronological order.
Stephen is 18 in this story, in Spring of year 8 of his special school.
Stephen's Secure Blog #353 "More than a Cure"
START Page
April first, I gave my love to the world as planned and announced. It
went exactly like the previous one, and with the same results. More
addictions were cured, including smoking. I called Bill Maher, and
said, "It's just addictions that are cured. Not voluntary er,
enjoyment." He said "Oh, that's a relief!" We laughed. I said "Did you
get the invite?" He said "Yes, and I'm coming." I said "Oh, so early?"
He laughed hard. I said "I'm going to be on CNN this week, live as
usual. I plan to tweak some noses, in response to some previously er,
fed questions. And don't tell me you don't do that yourself." He said
"Okay, I won't tell you." I said "You're not telling me, is very
informative." More laughter. He said "Will the Pope be there?" I said
"The Dalai Lama is expected, but I don't know about the Pope. The
subject might come up on air." He said "Ha! I'm sure it will." I said
"At the wedding, want the media to see us as good friends?" He said "Oh
yes! I love it!" I said "I'm not too sad about it myself." Chuckles. I
said "I have an idea. I don't know if it will work, but, suppose I
invite some politicians to a live er, discussion about the issues? I
will have ALL the facts, and can and will site sources, and their own
past er, bombastic bilious belches." He laughed really hard, and then
said, "You HAVE to do that! But will they come?" I said "Well, if they
"And the lie detector?" I said "Undecided, if it will be there, and if
there, visible to the camera and not the participants." He said "That
should be VERY interesting!" I said "I'll have to discuss it with CNN.
If they don't want to do it, I might shop it around." He said "I hope
you can do it!" We said our farewells.
I told Don and Len my idea. They were interested, and would get back
to me on that. Then I gave them some questions to ask, which they were
very interested in asking, and even more interested in hearing the
replies. Don Introduced me, and said, "We are here to discuss the
effects of Stephen's most recent love broadcast, and anything else I
can trick him into discussing." The active camera showed my grin. I
said "Do you think you can trick me after telling me you are going to?"
Don said "Actually, I don't think I can trick you in any way. Got your
reaction, though." I said "Point taken." He said "We've been receiving
reports of more cures of addictions to drugs, but this time it involves
smoking." I said "Yes, I felt that. These addiction cures are different
from medical cures, in that there are no withdrawal symptoms, and no
craving, and the bad health effects of the drugs are corrected, too."
He said "The tobacco companies might lose business."
I said "That's great! The only benefit the tobacco industry provides
other than to itself and in taxes, is increased services provided by
the medical and funeral home industries. They know they are poisoning
their deliberately addicted clients, and have known that for years,
even before the public knew. In my opinion, they should all be
prosecuted for attempted and actual murder!" Don said "That's a strong
statement!" I said "Absolutely! And without menthol, or a filter. They
KNOW they are harming and killing people, and are aggressively
marketing their poison in countries which are too poor to defend
themselves. AMERICAN companies are doing this to the people of other
countries! And what do we do to stop this? I don't see it happening. I
think it's disgraceful. We should all be ashamed that American
companies want to hurt Americans and the people of other countries, and
we LET them do it. Oh, I think I might get some disagreement from some
people." Don said "I wouldn't be surprised. From smokers, probably." I
said "Is there any smoker who isn't negatively effecting the health of
another person without their permission? I don't hold them blameless,
and I request that others don't as well. The cures can help to stop
smoking, but won't make those selfish people stop if they don't want
to. I think we should all show them that they should stop." He said "I
see you feel very strongly about this." I said "They HURT people. How
can I not?"
I said "I just made decision. It might be a little controversial."
Don said "Not unexpected from you." I said "Good. In one week, at this
time, cocaine and heroin over a trace amount will not cross the border
between the US and Mexico, either way, and that includes in the tunnels
and in the air. Those substances will stop, and anything attached to
them will probably stop with them, except in aircraft, where the drugs
will simply vanish. If it's in somebody's pocket, and they try really
hard to get through, they might leave their pants behind them. If they
swallowed bags of it, their whole body will stop. I'm delaying this one
week, instead of starting it now, so the border guards can be prepared
for the traffic tie-ups this might cause, and so they will know why,
and can more efficiently find and remove the drugs." He said "Wow!" I
said "The drug traffickers might have less polite words for that." He
almost choked. He said "What about other drugs?" I said "Those two
drugs are illegal almost everywhere, and are not used as they are, in
medicine. And they're easy to recognize. I can only do so much at a
time." He said "What if you are sued over this?" I said "Well, they
can't take the money I don't have." He said "What if a court orders you
to stop?" I said "Then law enforcement should look into which drug
cartel is paying them to do that." He said "Wow! Those are strong
words!" I said "Good. They might even work. There are many deaths in
Mexico caused by the drug cartels. This might help to reduce them." He
said "I see. It might."
He said "What if they try to kill you?" I said "That's been tried
before. I can't be killed, or even injured. I will leave my body for my
next existence when it is the right time for me to do that, and not
before." He said "Do you know when that will be?" I said "Within one or
two years of a particular time, yes." He was speechless for a few
seconds, and then said, "Will you tell us when?" I said "No, and please
don't ask that again. That goes for everybody, if they ever want
answers to anything else." He cleared his throat, and said, "We'll
break for a commercial now." Off air, I said, "I wonder why nobody's
asked if homosexuality has been cured in my love broadcast." That got
his attention, and said, "Has it?" I said with a grin, "You know how to
find out." He almost ground his teeth in frustration, and I almost
laughed.
Back on air, he said, "Many things are cured in your love broadcast.
Some think that homosexuality is a disease, either physical or
psychological. Is it among the things being cured?" I said "I know most
of what is being cured through my love broadcasts. I'm not doing it
myself, but I can feel it happening. Homosexuality, or any major sexual
orientation, isn't being cured, because it can't be, because it's not a
disease. It's how God made people, so of course He isn't going to
change that. It isn't a moral or immoral thing, either. Homosexuality
is a feeling which can't be chosen or removed, because sexual
attraction feelings are a basic part of who we all are, of any sexual
orientation, and are generated by the structure of our brains as God
made them. What we physically DO about sexual feelings can be
considered immoral acts by people who feel the need to think that other
people should be prevented from doing what they themselves do as much
and as often as they can. Since God made people of different sexual
orientations, and some animals, too, there must be a good reason for
it. I will NOT oppose His will on that, or on any other issue, as He is
the ultimate in wisdom. I advise that for all who really believe in
God. Why He did that, could be an interesting topic for discussion at a
different time. I have some ideas I could share about it, then."
He cleared his throat, and said "You plan to be married on June 21st.
Will the ceremony be open to the public?" I said "Our wedding will be a
private affair, in modified Navajo tradition, but with a LOT of invited
guests. The media will be there." He said "Yes, I expect to be covering
it. Can you tell us who are some of your guests?" I said "We expect
representatives from many Native American Nations to attend. We will
welcome any Heads of State, and Heads of religions, and we will provide
full security in the accommodations, the event, and in between. At
present, we haven't heard back from most of the invited. The Dalai Lama
has committed to attend." He said "You met with the Pope recently. Is
he coming?" I said "Rose and I asked him in person, and we've sent an
invitation. We haven't had a reply yet. We hope he does come. Well, we
like him."
He said "Do you know where you will be living after the wedding?" I
said with a grin, "I always know where I'm living. How could I not?" He
said "I mean a home." I said "I'm not going to make that public, except
to say that neither I nor my future wife will own any home on Earth we
might have together." He said "Ah! I see. Privacy, and safe from
lawsuits. But, on Earth? Do you have homes on other planets?" I grinned
and said, "I prefer to leave that to the imagination." He said
"Frustrating." I said "Some might think that's what nosey people
deserve. And about us living somewhere, we ask not to be encumbered
with gifts at the wedding. We don't need any other possessions than
what I can make for us, and that will be few." I said into the camera,
"We care about love, much more than things. If some people feel the
need to give something, let it be to charity. In fact, we think the
most precious gift after life, is love. If any want to give us
anything, giving love to other people is what we request. That love can
be in feeling, in giving of your time to those in need, your unneeded
possessions, or money. For most people, their time is the most useful
thing they can give to another. Volunteer. Ask in your community where
you can help. Even an hour a week can make a tremendous positive
difference in the lives of people, and you will be surprised at how
GOOD it will make YOU feel. Loved, too. Bring meals to the home bound.
Visit lonely patients in nursing homes and hospitals. Read to adorable
children in libraries. There are many similar things you can do to
help. If you would honor my wife and I at or for our wedding, please do
this. If you would honor your God, please do this. If you want to honor
YOURSELVES, please do this. Even if you have no money, you can still
give the gift of YOU, and that has a value beyond measure." I bowed.
Don said "We are out of time. Stephen, thank you for your time, and
in answering our questions." I said "You're welcome." We went off the
air. Don said "Much more than I ever expected! Did you plan the border
thing?" I said "No, I didn't. You aren't the only one who's surprised,
and you know Hawk is still laughing his head almost off his shoulders."
He and the arriving Len laughed at that. Len said "That anti-tobacco
tirade was impressive." I said "Yes. I was really smokin!" They
laughed. He said "What of tobacco farmers?" He said "For years, they
could have switched to other crops. Who doesn't know that?" He said "Do
Their expressions were priceless, and I told them that, and they
laughed. I said "He isn't entirely in complete control of the Vatican.
If enough Cardinals, and other kinds of fowl creatures, don't want him
to, he won't be able to. Well, somebody has to arrange transportation
and things." Don said "You can port him." I grinned and said, "It might
come to that, if he wants to thumb his nose at those who would prevent
it. Or use a longer finger. But then, he wouldn't be the first Pope to
die under mysterious circumstances." Their expressions were interesting
in their changes, as they digested that. Len said, "But I know you. You
won't let him be killed." I said "He doesn't know that yet, and he
won't unless he needs to."
I said "I think you forget one thing. I don't think death is a bad
thing. A suffering death is bad, and taking the choice of life and
death away from that person, and away from fate or God, is bad, but we
can't really die. Our spirits or souls live on. I've died a LOT! I
know. Speaking about that, I've been wondering why nobody has asked me
what I think about abortion." They looked surprised. Then Don said,
"I'll bite; what do you think about abortion?" I said "Sorry, you bit
only air. You can ask me in another interview if you like. Well, your
expressions in response to my answers are priceless, and should be
shared with all." Don was very embarrassed, while Len was laughing his
head almost off.
Back at home, Pete was with us, trying to be heard above the laughing
Hawk saying something about a longer finger, and fowl creatures. Pete
said "The drug interdiction. How are you going to manage that?" I said
"Buried boxes. I'll watch for the first few weeks to see how it all
works, and maybe tweak it a little if necessary. I'll give you the
locations and instructions after I set everything up." He said "Thanks.
I think it's great that you had to come out in the open. We can all do
things and blame them on you, to keep us out of the public's notice.
Good things. Necessary things, but carefully done, like this anti drug
action. I like it a lot." I said "Part of that is to prevent more
addictions after they are cured. That gave me the idea. Then I made the
connection to the deaths in Mexico. Well, it's partially the fault of
the US. They wouldn't be providing the drugs if we didn't provide the
demand. We owe them." Chad hugged me with love, and said, "Yes. I have
to agree." Hawk said, "Not so fast. Border patrol is sure to ask for a
delay, no matter how much time you give them." I said "Yes. I expect to
grant a reasonable delay. Once!" Rose said "But not extending beyond
our wedding. I want that as a gift." I said "I expected that. Thank you
for being you." We all shared love.
