Interview with Sam Brannon of Fluoride-Free San Marcos
I conducted an interview with Sam Brannon of Fluoride-Free San Marcos on April 19th, 2016. This is the first interview in a series of interviews I plan on conducting for this research project on the new water fluoridation policy adopted by the City of San Marcos as a result of Proposition 1. The purpose of the interview was to obtain pertinent information in relation to my on-going public policy research which will be titled; "Fluorosis Neurosis: Describing the Attitudes of the citizens
of San Marcos on Water Fluoridation." This research is scheduled to be completed at the end of the Spring 2017 semester after it undergoes an academic review by a panel of Texas State University professors.

Port of Sport III: Jerry Sandusky Edition
Editor's Note: For anyone who may read this, I urge you to read the two previous posts for context; none of this will make sense without the first two installments.
Jerry
Sandusky was born on January 26th, 1944 in Washington, Pennsylvania.
Jerry’s father Arthur Sandusky served as a youth program director at Brownson
House in Washington, Pennsylvania for over 30 years. Arthur Sandusky was
inducted into the Pennsylvania sports Hall of Fame in 1989.[1]
Sandusky grew up and attended Washington High School where he was a standout
athlete excelling in baseball, basketball, and football. He graduated from
Washington in 1961 and went to Penn State where he started at defensive end
from 1963-1965.[2]
Sandusky became a graduate assistant for Joe Paterno in 1966; then bounced
around to a few different schools with Juanita College in 1967 as a basketball
coach and track coach; then Sandusky went to Boston University in 1968 as the
Offensive Line Coach.
Jerry Sandusky rejoined Joe Paterno in 1969 as the
Defensive Line coach and would stay there until his retirement in 1999.[3] In
1977 Jerry Sandusky was promoted to Defensive Coordinator and would hold that
same position until his retirement in 1999. It was also in 1977 that Sandusky
founded his “charity” called The Second Mile which was supposedly designed to
help under-privileged children. Specifically children (mostly boys) who came
from broken homes, most often boys without father figures; Sandusky was widely
praised in the media for his supposed helping children, including a special
recognition from President George H.W. Bush as a “shining example” of
charitable work in 1990.
Behind
the scenes it was much less cheery than the unquestioning media would lead one
to believe. It has now been widely acknowledged that the leadership of Penn
State University including head coach Joe Paterno were aware of the
investigation into Sandusky’s escapades in 1998. This led Penn State to
essentially force Sandusky into retirement but was still awarded with “"both
an unusual compensation package and a special designation of 'emeritus' rank
that carried special privileges, including access to the university’s
recreational facilities."[4] Sandusky
had an office on campus, his face on a mural, his autobiography “Touched: The
Jerry Sandusky Story” in the schools book store, and keys to access the same
locker rooms and showers where he was eventually convicted of raping children
until the whole story blew wide open in 2011.
The
question that must be asked is obvious and unfortunately to this day remains
shrouded in layers of an immense cover-up. The question is how did Jerry
Sandusky get away with these crimes for such a prolonged period of time? Well,
Joe Paterno’s dead; Graham Spanier who was the President of Penn State was not
indicted and actually landed a comfy job as an advisor for a top-secret project
for the U.S. Government relating to national security; according to his lawyer.[5] So
really any conclusion we might be able to come up with would be speculation.
However, what is not speculation is pointing out connections between Sandusky
and some very powerful people.
In
1988, Jerry Sandusky gave a nominating speech for George H. W. Bush at the
Republican National Convention. At that same Convention there was a man named
Lawrence E. King who sang the National Anthem. Lawrence King in a few short
months would find himself as the key figure in a Congressional Investigation
led by Senator John DeCamp concerning King’s laundering of money as the General
Manager of a Credit Union in Omaha, Nebraska.[6]
DeCamp quickly found that the money was just the tip of the iceberg concerning
King’s escapades; when DeCamp dug into it he found King was connected to a town
called Boy’s Town and all of the sudden had multiple children coming to him
saying they had been taken by King to Washington D.C. multiple times and had
taken midnight “tours” of the White House and were involved in depraved sex
parties among other horrific things.[7] It
just so happens the Washington Times reported on the front page of their June
29th, 1989 newspaper that there was evidence of a homosexual
prostitution ring which was being given late night access to the White House.[8]
The
next year Lawrence King was sent to prison, for money laundering; and President
George H. W. Bush was publicly praising The Second Mile as a “shining example
of charitable work.” In 2001, after Sandusky’s retirement he wrote his
autobiography; in the book he specifically addressed the recognition from
George H. W. Bush by saying “It’s about time George! This is long overdue.” [9]
After Sandusky had finally been brought to justice in 2011, his Second Mile
Foundation transferred all of their $2.6 million in assets to an organization
called the Arrow Child & Family Ministries in Spring, Texas. At the time of
this assets transfer; two of the directors for the Arrow Child & Family
Ministries were Maria Bush the daughter-in-law of George H. W. Bush, and Susie
Peake who had worked for George H. W. Bush in various capacities for over 10
years.[10]
Another
very strange thing to point out is that the District Attorney in Centre County,
Pennsylvania (which oversees the Happy Valley area) who would have been the
person in charge of bringing Jerry Sandusky to justice, Ray Gicar, just
happened to go missing without a trace on April 15th, 2005. Months
later on August 2nd, 2005 Gicar’s county issued laptop was found by
fishermen in the Susquehanna River; the laptop was conspicuously missing its
hard drive.[11]
Gicar was pronounced legally dead July 25th, 2011 just a few months
before the Sandusky story was finally disclosed to the public after literally
decades of cover-up and lies. Undoubtedly, there is much more to know about the
whole situation that was blamed on Sandusky and made to look like one rotten
apple instead of exposing the whole rotten bunch.

Port of Spore: Part II
In my first paper I defined sport in a way that is sure
to raise some eyebrows and ruffle a few feathers. Yet from a logical standpoint
my definition is firmly rooted in deductive reasoning by use of etymology; and
as a reminder my definition of sport was and still is that sports are ritual
offerings to the female fertility goddess Gaia Spore of the ancient Roman
societies.[1] In
this paper I will explain these rituals in greater detail which will lead me to
point out the real underlying ethical issue I have with sports.
Ethical issues in sports can take many shapes and forms;
usually one would think of ethical issues that actually take place during the
practice of the sport such as the ethics of using performance enhancing drugs,
or betting on sports. My ethical issue with sports can be seen in isolation of
sports and is not necessarily tied to the practice of these sports. Also this
issue is much grander than sports in general and also ties into other social
structures like religion and politics. But as I will demonstrate sports in our
modern society is extremely closely tied to my ethical issue and fundamental to
the continuance of this reprehensible issue.
The issue at hand follows logically from the definition
set forth in the first paper that is; sports of all kinds are sex magic rituals,
which is why just about every sport under the sun has some form of pole and
ball(s). Just to be clear though I have no issue with full-grown consenting adults
partaking of sex magic rituals, I believe they should be informed of the nature
of their sport of choice but that is an educational issue and not an ethical
issue. The ethical issue here is that these sex magic rituals always
incorporated children into the ritual, 100% of the time. As a matter of fact,
sex with children is intimately intertwined with the entire myth of Gaia Spore.
According to the myths it was Gaia who gave a
virgin birth to her first child Uranus, Gaia then had sex with her first born
child to give birth to the Titans; which of course is a myth specifically
designed to incorporate and glorify pedophilia.[2]
The last born of the Titans was Cronus who is the personification of Saturn.
Cronus was the orneriest of the children of Uranus and Gaia and eventually
overthrew his father Uranus by castrating then murdering him with the scythe.[3]
Again, we see why Nike uses the symbol of the slash to symbolize the ritual
castration and murder associated with Cronus who is linked to Nike and thus the
link to sports rituals. But Cronus did
not stop with just murdering his father Uranus, he was also highly insecure
about bearing children because he saw it as a threat to his power, so Cronus
ate his children upon birth. This myth served to glorify ritual sacrifice of
“young virgins” which of course is the politically correct way to say the
sacrifice of children.
But
by now you’re likely wondering how does any of this have to do with sport,
where is the connection between sports and Cronus? We will use football again,
specifically the National Football League (NFL) to draw these connections. The
whole practice of football is designed to mirror the virgin birth of Uranus;
each play the center snaps the ball to the quarterback and thus it is a live
ball situation, or the ball is alive. That is why the quarterback lines-up
right behind the center in a position that looks an awful lot like the
“doggy-style” sexual position. The quarterback then makes his calls at the line
using words and terms that mean nothing to the average person, symbolizing the
sex magic incantation before initiation of the ritual. The quarterback then
sticks his hands between the legs of the center as he gives birth to the live
ball situation. When the referee blows
the whistle the play is over and they say it is a dead ball situation. In
football any given play usually last between five to twenty seconds, and
remember it symbolizes the birth of a child; therefore each play is symbolic of
Cronus eating his children within moments of their birth, because of course
after Cronus ate his children they were dead, just like the ball.
In
the last paper I mentioned that the Super Bowl Half-Time Show is a hot spot for
driving home these sex magic rituals to the subconscious mind; and I gave
examples of Janet Jackson’s boob, the Red Hot Chili Peppers singing their hit
single “Give It Away” off their album “Blood Sugar Sex Magik”[4]
and really I could go on and on. But now it is important to show how they
incorporate children into these rituals and not only children but the themes of
death and children.
At
the 2013 Super Bowl before Jennifer Hudson sang the National Anthem, the NFL
decided it was in good taste to parade survivors of the Sandy Hook school
shooting out to sing “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” (which for anyone familiar
with mind-control techniques would know that song selection was not by chance,
but I digress). The death and children themes really could not be any more
obvious; and of course to top it all off the graphic shown on the screen to
identify the children said “Sandy Hook School Chorus” (see ex. 1), interesting
that they chose the word chorus instead of choir. They chose the word chorus
because it encodes both the name Horus and Cronus; Horus is the same
personification as Cronus just from the earlier Egyptian society; like Cronus,
Horus murdered his father Osiris to take the throne, and had sex with his
mother Isis (where have I heard that name recently?). It is also worth noting
that the term chorus has its’ origins as a term used in Greek tragedies for
those who commented on the action of the play.[5]
Example 1 |
As
a furtherlink between death, sex, and children at the Super Bowl, I have to ask
who were the teams that played in Super Bowl XLVII (of course they use Roman numerals)? Oh, it was the San
Francisco 49ers against the Baltimore Ravens[6];
well let’s think about this, San Francisco is widely regarded as the gay
capitol of the world, and remember the term gay comes from the same root word
as game, guy, and sport. Then the Raven is almost always associated with death,
because they tend to gather on battlefields to feast upon the dead. Many
Christians believe a Raven to be a symbol of Satan[7],
jeez what a coincidence the term Satan (pronounced in Latin Sat-han) comes from
the same root word as Saturn whom Cronus personifies. (For those who doubt this
connection between the Raven and Cronus/Saturn, I reference this Old Spice
Swagger commercial featuring the most famous Raven of them all and a man who
himself was once accused of murder[8],
Ray(ven) Lewis.)[9]
The final and most damning evidence I will
provide for this unethical link between children, sex magic, and death is
really the worst kept secret in the NFL. That secret is that every year, without
exception, the Super Bowl weekend is the biggest human sex trafficking weekend
of the year. So much so that in 2011 when the Super Bowl was to be played in
Dallas, Texas; it prompted then-Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott to comment that
“The Super Bowl is the greatest show on Earth, but it also has an ugly
underbelly, it's commonly known as the single largest human trafficking
incident in the United States.”[10] I
agree with that sentiment, but would add that the Super Bowl is the greatest
magik show on Earth, as in sex magik. Throughout the rest of the article Abbott
tries to explain away the link as simply a large influx of people, mostly men,
looking for sex; and that can explain part of it but Abbott fails to address
the elephant in the room being that massive sporting events like the Super Bowl
and sex magic are two peas in a pod.
Hundreds
of thousands of children go missing without a trace and to never be found again,
every year in the United States.[11] I
would suggest very strongly that many of them end up at the Super Bowl which is
fitting given that those who win the Super Bowl are always asked the same
question: “(Name here), you just won the Super Bowl! What are you going to do
next?” To which they answer: “I’m going to Disneyworld!” Disney being one of
the greatest sorcerers concerning the themes of sex magik and children (see ex.
2); which leads me to ask the question “Young child, you were just kidnapped
and sold into sex slavery, what are you going to do next?” Unfortunately many
of those children would answer ironically with “I’m going to the Super Bowl...”.
Example 2 |
In the ancient Roman times it was well known among the
ruling class that they only needed to provide two things to the masses to keep
them under control; those two provisions were bread, and circus.[12]
Meaning, if you feed them and entertain them, they will go along with anything;
and those tactics are still being used today just in a more high-tech
sophisticated manner. However, the rituals and sacrifices pretty much stay the
same, it is just they do not explicitly tell you or educate you on these
practices so as to hide their deeds in plain sight.
With the next and final installment of what I have dubbed
the “Port of Spore Trilogy” I will introduce a nefarious character by the name
of Jerry Sandusky. In this next installment, I will provide links between Mr.
Sandusky and some of the most prominent men and organizations over the last
century in American society to prove that sex magik is fundamental in the
practice of sport and the overarching power structure of modern society; which
will further imply why sports, football especially, have been promoted as
symbols of manliness, and why so much of the world society will literally go to
their place of worship to pray for their sports team. In the meantime, I will
be praying for humanity to awaken from their sports induced coma to see what is
hidden in plain sight. I love a good sporting event as much as the next person;
but at what cost?
