FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
December 23, 2008


Space Coast Area Transit Kicks Off New Year with Expanded Service

Effective January 5, 2009, Space Coast Area Transit will be expanding service on their popular Route 1 and providing service to the Mims/Titusville area, with the addition of Route 5.
Route 1, a favorite route for commuters, has been expanded to provide continuous hourly service beginning at 5:50 a.m. Route 1 will now be serviced by four buses, with the route looping from Titusville to the Government Center at Viera to Melbourne International Airport with multiple stops throughout the route.
New Route 5 will provide service to the Mims area and will connect with county-wide Route 1 and Titusville-based Route 2. As part of a financial agreement with Brevard Community College that allows all current BCC students to ride the bus for free, the new Route 5 will include service to BCC’s Titusville campus.
According to Transit Director Jim Liesenfelt, 44% of its riders rely on Space Coast Area Transit to get to their job. “Many of our residents find that the cost of driving alone to get to work takes a huge bite out of their paycheck.”
Space Coast Area Transit has a trip planner on its RideSCAT.com website to assist passengers with their transportation needs. Passengers can access a map and text directions from their front door, to the closest bus stop, to their final destination and back again. For further information, or for maps and schedules, contact Space Coast Area Transit at 321-633-1878 or log on to RideSCAT.com.

Post Partum Blue

Post Partum Blues
A Post Partum depression is usually associated with childbirth. It is a goulash of feelings that come in like winter waves in Hawaii. They flood both males and females with a confusing and deep depression, anger and fatigue. The initial exhilaration deflates like a balloon. Reality is a complicated psychological pudding that contains many arrows, overpasses, gullies and rocky passes. It’s a whole psychological and neurological landscape that comes out of expectations, tension, release, reality and ruckus. It is not unlike baby puke.
Then you change the diapers.
Its ennui and tedium and stink.
That’s what it is.
That’s not to say that having a baby is not a multidimensional gasaroonie. It’s a giggle and a good time. People like having babies. They continue to make them at the darndest times and for the darndest reasons.
I’m just reminding you what post partum depression is.
It happens.
I use to run a therapy group for parents.
It was just prior to getting table zapped by the chemicals that would change my life. I was gaining weight. I had developed a little water drum around my waste where the dark sludgy liquids of toxin began to collect in my gut.
I was teaching a parenting class one night and one of the little girls that sat around the table with her parents heaved a heavy sigh. We met in an open pavilion between buildings at a local church. Everything was painted a mint green. The concrete plaza was under palm trees and behind flame bushes.
The sun was setting.
I noticed the child staring at me.
She was actually staring at my belly.
“I’m six months pregnant” I said to her.
We were talking about post partum depression.
She shook her head sadly.
“Eight” she said.
Post partum depressions are actually a form of PTSD that can follow any major transition or life event. It’s the let down and confusion that follows anticipation and expectation.
In the Latin language it describes life of sorts.
Post Partum means “after birth.”
Birth in this case is defined as that which creates you, impacts you and changes you.
I left Hawaii in 2000 in a Post Partum purple haze. In the year of our Lord, 2000 A.D. after being flooded with toxins, anthrax and EMF I arrived in Florida.
My heart and lungs were slowly filling up with liquid.
I was drowning.
By the time I had my first crisis and ended up in the hospital I could not stand up to do the dishes or lay down to sleep. I had to sleep sitting up, the fluid levels were so painful up to brim.
I went to the hospital thinking I had bronchitis.
This was not unusual. I always got bronchitis when I moved.
It was a somatic post partum.
After the anthrax exposure I never got bronchitis again and my asthma cleared up. That was probably my selegeline prescription doing it’s magic. It cleared my lungs, liver and kidneys.
As I lay in critical care feeling (post partum) mighty pissed off that I was there at all (I had expected a couple of pills and a swat on the butt to send me on my way as usual.)
A guy wandered into the room wearing blue scrubs and carrying a cheese board with my chart it.
He did not identify himself.
I learned that he was my doctor. That’s what the nurse called him.
He looked me over and said, “It’s broke.”
I was already irritated and wanted to leave.
“Your heart” he said. “It’s broken. It can’t be fixed. You need a heart transplant.”
I am reminded of the Lenny Bruce bit where Jesus is hanging on the cross between the two theirs.
“I tell you this” said Jesus, “You will be with me today in my father’s kingdom.”
The thief on the right sobbed. His tears mingled with his blood.
The thief on the left said “What do you mean in your father’s kingdom. I am the good thief. I’m here for checks…..”
Post Partum stress.
“What do you mean heart transplant?” I said. “I’m in for bronchitis.”
“”She’s broke” the doctor said. He turned around and left the room.
I was livid.
I was in critical care surrounded by medical machinery.
The EMF levels were down right painful.
They were not phased for comfort.
They created muscle tension and irritability.
I hated being there.
“This guy is really grouchy” one of the nurses said.
It went into my chart. “Grouchy.”
I was a bad patient.
I had the anthrax vaccine in 1991 or so.
That was about the time of the Gulf War. One of the side effects is sudden rage.
Gulf War Syndrome is like one huge physical post partum.
It’s like trauma.
The body is invaded by God knows what and the symptoms are classically post partum. Your body knows it has been subtly and irrevocable impacted.
Gulf War Syndrome is one big post partum wash.
The after-effects of the anthrax needle are the same way.
I learned to deal with sudden rage by working cognitively with the triggers.
I had never been a particularly angry person. I had never been in a fight. I had never thrown a punch.
I never spoke above a whisper until I was in my thirties.
After the anthrax shot I was suddenly awakened to the sound of my own voice.
The toxins had filled my ears with Cheese Whiz.
I had to yell to be heard sometimes.
At least that’s the way I felt.
So that’s the heavy duty post partum fallout of my last ten years or so.
I am walking post partum.
The life after the birth was going to be a challenge.
A great big challenge.

PTSD And Rape Trauma Syndrome Show Up In The Brain

PTSD and Rape Crisis Syndrome
Show Up In The Brain As Damage
**I attended a workshop last week on Hospice services for former members of the military and wrote an article about what was presented. The article will be out this week in the Viera Voice Newspaper. It is about working with people with PTSD in a hospice environment.

I sat straight up and spit out my gum.
It was one of those exciting moments when you knew progress was being made.
After I chopped the gum out of the hair of the social worker sitting in front of me with a nail clipper and chopsticks I was able to better focus and take a few notes on one of the most exciting developments in PTSD diagnosis and treatment I’ve seen in quite awhile.
“The brain is about the consistency of butter” said moderator Charlie Antoni.
I raised my pencil.
“Yes?”
“Salted or Unsalted?” I asked.
“What?” he asked.
“The brain” I said. “The brain and the butter-like consistency of the spread in the head.”
He promised to get back to me with an answer on that.
I always thought the brain was more like jelly.
It turns out as the lights went out and the slides hit the screen that through a new imaging process you can actually see the PTSD in brain. In a Kirlian-like photograph the areas impacted by trauma are plainly visible. In this particular slide they were lurid red flower petals laid out in the frontal and rear lobes.
These photos were made possible by full spectrum imagery.
The machines are already on the market and in use.
There is a machine in Brevard County.
This opens the possibility of PTSD and Rape Trauma Syndrome being reclassified as a medical condition that is both compostable and much easier to classify as a disability.

It is also forensic evidence that something traumatic happened in any given space in time.

This is amazing stuff.

Although the events depicted in this blog entry may have been gonzoed up to better portray my elevated brain chemistry at the news, the information about the brain scans and PTSD is accurate. The events may or may not have happened as depicted in other words, but seemed to occur as I looked for my pencil.

As I said, the information on the brain scans is accurate. We’ve know for quite a while that any trauma changes neural pathways and the body biophysically. To date I’ve never seen a piece documenting what exactly is effected in the body or seen a picture of it.
We’ve always talked about reopening blocked neurology in therapy and rechanneling nerve impulses to impact behavior. These were lofty ideas based on practical work in dance therapy and hard core talk therapy. I had my own experiences to work with as well which include Electrical Cranial Stimulation, Binaural Sound, Meditation and Yoga.
These things worked for me and others and may continue to play a role in a medical situation. It also presents the possibility that there may eventually be better medicines to deal with flashback and other behavior loops.

There has been another serious advancement this week for people who love cats, but not for dinner:

China protest decries custom of eating cats
Animal lovers in Beijing urge southern Chinese province to stop eating cats - AP


This is another gum-spitter in a solid month of craziness.

Repost: The Little House

Entry for March 19, 2008 The Little House of Horrors

The Eye-Balled News at 360.yahoo.com/michael_zangari

Of Tachyons, Time Travel
And Heightened Cognition
“You are being deleted. There will be no trace of you left. All publications, photographs and stories about you will be eliminated. There will be no medical or financial or Government records of you. It will be as if you never existed…”
-Repeated statement of intention 1998-2008
Unknown hackers and harassers
There is nothing going on that hasn’t been going on for eleven years.
The recent vandalism of the Web-sites has been extensive. The journalism Web-site is back up, though not complete. The blog remains picked over with entire entries missing. I will try and get a copy of the entry on Yvonne’s little house in Makaha. It’s important to the overall affidavit I am trying to construct in the Zblog It is also extremely import to me.
That was the entry in which I talked about Nicoli Tesla’s work for the crown and plantation owners in Hawaii. The wildly advanced electrical genius, who many considered an alien, lit the palace of the royals in Hawaii long before the White House in the United States was lit. He devised a system of punishment and reward for the plantation owners. By changing intensity and frequency of the electricity used in the workers homes, he could produce anxiety, rage and sexual aggression. He could also produce sexual ecstasy.
I talked about a technique pioneered by organized crime for intimidation and extortion by use of force, what is known as strong arming. I call this technique “hot- boxing” an environment. By crossing circuits you can create the same effect as the plantation owners produced on laborers. In the two thousand the technology has improved and the technique is more insidious. It is still used, unfortunately by landlords trying to get people to move, for example.
I also talked about the rosary that hung from a hook in the corner of her bedroom where a woman who was very isolated was reputed to have hung herself. In talking with the police department, I know the body was hung after she had actually died. The house was pleasant enough, but it was a cage. It was set up with bars on the inside of the windows. That is opposite of what it should be. The bars were set up to keep someone in, not someone out. Needless to say Yvonne got herself out of that house as soon as possible. It was part of a quadrangle where a gambling and prostitution ring was under surveillance.
The levels of electricity in that house were greater than any single place I’ve ever been, and peaked at levels that bristled the spine with its powers.
In short, my current situation is similar.
In 1998 I was electronically contained using these methods. The results were heavy fatigue (on top of the fatigue from toxic damage) dulled cognition (with large amounts of brain fluid) and confusion. I managed to write a lot anyway. I authored my lawsuit at this time, with great difficulty. I had multiple break-ins and a lot of computers destroyed. I was poisoned several times.
As is widely documented, I am a big fan of a treated silica disc know as Tachyon. When I first began using it in 1998 as a filter on my fuse box to reduce harmful layers of EMF I thought to myself that these discs could change America because of the way they sensitized cognition to energy.
People use Tachyon dots on their cell phones.
It is important to note here that Tachyon (in my case usually purchased from Advanced Tachyon Technologies on the internet) is a product name, not the elusive electrical particles that underlay the atoms and molecules that morp into our world. Tachyons, the particle are considered the key to time travel, as well as some advanced physics’ effects that are fun to talk about. They are widely used in health care and wellness practices.
The product is a lot like obsidian, the volcanic glass which pours from volcanoes and dries in layers. It’s like a series of lenses that condenses and filters energy into a purity that is hard to describe. It filters out harmful frequencies and emphasized positive ones. This sound like gobbledy-gook unless you have experienced it.
At one time the world had no artificial electricity. As such the energy between things was pure. The force field we take as normal today, thrown by a world driven by electricity was not present. There was a cleared channel between objects and entities, such as animals and plants. The energies blended and combined for a greater harmony. For example we regard the energy that shoots up our spines as vertical. A tachyonized person will often open bio-electricity horizontally. The chakras will open, the spine relaxes from everyday hyperextension and you become sensitized to the environment and all things. Read the bogs at the Tachyon site for some very interesting and consistent discussions.
If used inappropriately Tachyon produces polyps and dulls cognition considerably. There is a negative side and a positive side of the actual discs, like heads and tails on a quarter. How you place the discs effects how you are impacted, as does the quantity of the discs. I’ve used them for a long time. I know them very well.
I have no Tachyon discs up at the moment. Someone in the building is using the discs in a huge quantity to cover (I assume) a large amount of electricity. This person is one of the team stalking me.
I have been sluggish and dumb as of late, though the overall situation is improving. I have a job interview on Thursday and am publishing in two journals.
Threats, as always are terrifying and debilitating.
I am home a lot more than I’d like to be, and I am less active.
That’s the day blog.
More narratives later, and hopefully I will republish the piece on the little house of horrors in Makaha.
