He was last seen
On the mezzanine
Of the World Trade Center North,
When the Southern Tower
Let go the power
Stored in ten-plus-a-hundred floors.
And the windows blew
As the blast came through
And blew people across the floor.
And they couldn't hear
Thorough the deafened ears
That had heard that awful roar.
And they couldn't see,
But powdered debris,
That hung thick and choked their air.
But Tim thought he knew,
John would make it through,
As he groped his way out of there.
John Perry was
An active sort,
Who circum-swam Manhattan
Island for sport.
Tall, strong, handsome, and smart,
A fun-loving guy,
Ask the women who knew him,
Or wanted to try.
Five languages,
He fluently spoke.
He'd loan you money,
If you were broke.
Civil Liberties for all,
He sought to provide,
As a policeman,
And from the inside.
To foster awareness,
He sought communion,
Between cops, and the Civil
Liberties Union.
As a CLU lawyer,
And a volunteer,
He defended the rights
That he felt should be clear.
Promoting those rights,
With efforts so hearty,
As part of the town's
Libertarian Party.
Gun rights were important;
He sought to protect them,
Gun rights defenders -
He worked to elect them.
And with rights he sought duties;
Take this as indicia:
His Captaincy,
In New York State's Militia.
Medical Marijuana;
Arrested Rabbi;
It might hurt John's career,
But John did testify.
To ingest what we choose,
A right John respected,
And he did what he could,
To see it protected.
He always had courage,
To try something new.
A job as a lawyer,
He'd try that now too.
Though wrenching to leave,
The job he so cared for;
Representing the injured,
Was what he'd prepared for.
He came to Police Plaza,
He was there to retire,
When the call came: "World Trade Center,
Struck, and on fire."
He and Captain Tim Pearson,
They rushed to the site,
Into that burning building,
To do what they might.
An asthmatic woman
Collapsed. In John's arms,
John went to carry her,
Clear of all harm….
When the Southern Tower
Let go its power
And propelled its dust storm forth.
He was last seen
On the mezzanine
Of the World Trade Center North.

Ghost Gasses [in the sky]
Ghost Gasses [in the sky]
To tax, to rule, to take their cut,
And other deeds infernal,
The rulers of a people must,
Point to a threat external.
..
For eons war has been their spook,
Sacrifice justifying,
OK, while they were killing gooks,
And poor folks did the dying.
Yippi-i-o! Yippi - i - i !
OK that Poor folks die!
But thermonuclear armed foes,
Are less attractive bad guys.
If only war they could dispose,
They wouldn't seem such mad guys.
Their arrogance, to justify,
Some threat needs to be forming.
"I know! C O Two -- in the sky!
Blame that for global warming!"
Yippi-i-o! Yippi - i - i !
C O 2 in the sky!
The theory goes:
Surrounding Earth,
Just like a hothouse glass is
Carbon Dioxide, holding heat,
And dubbed now:
"Greenhouse Gasses".
As C O two escapes from flues,
Increasing concentration,
It holds more of the planet's warmth,
Like better insulation.
Yippi-i-o! Yippi - i - i !
C O 2 in the sky!
The warmth will melt
Antarctic's cap
Of ice into the oceans,
To flood all coastal cities
Causing horrible commotion.
Each match you burn,
Each step you take,
Each time you fire a neuron,
May cause the very oceans'
rising Up to meet Lake Huron.
Yippi-i-o ! Yippi - i - i !
Oceans will rise sky high!
O' what a theory this will be!
O' what a tyrant's treasure!
Just think and plan
What can be banned;
What Draconian measures!
The scared cities,
they will demand
To ban unneeded burning;
Then scarcity will bring to hand
Authoritarian yearnings.
Yippi-i-o ! Yippi - i - i !
Ban what they oxidize !
For why should yokels drive in giant
V-8 powered pickups?
Just ban their ass,
and premium gas,
And cows, that breathe and hiccup.
So scientists were mustered to,
To prove:
a heat wave's forming;
And CO2 -- the bugaboo,
That's causing global warming.
Yippi-i-o ! Yippi - i - i !
C O 2 in the sky!
They threw vast governmental sums
To make supporting data.
But when the studies had been done,
There was no correlator.
Then satellites took surface scans
Across all Mother Earth there;
But no clear path
'tween heat and gas
Could satellites unearth there.
"Satellites, No!!" "Satellites Fie!"
Darn Data From the Sky!
But some inventor showed them how,
The tropics' desert oceans,
Could bloom and suck up C O two
If given iron potion.
The scientists rose to condemn
His simplistic solution:
"How dare he find an easy way
To obviate pollution!?!"
Too Simple - No! Can’t let that fly !
Won’t tyrants justify !
Then Doctor Sally, up she spoke:
"Look here, right in these tree rings.
There's fourteen-hundred years of data,
Correlating three things:
"When solar output increases,
The Earth responds by heating;
And when the Sun goes cooling off
Earth's temperature's decreasing.
Yippi - i - i ! Yippi-i-o !
Less output will make us Cold!
"And C O Two, that bugaboo,
As cause you would be passing,
Earth's thermal state,
Won't correlate -
There is no greenhouse gassing.
"In fact, in twenty-fifty-one
We'll end this warm and nice age;
When solar cooling has begun
To start a brand new ice age."
Yippi - i - i ! Yippi - i - o !
In Four decades we'll get cold!
Just feel, yourselves, when sun goes down,
How you get cooler quickly,
And when the sun, comes with the dawn,
How you get hot and stickly.
But Doctor Sally, on the toes,
Of her employ'rs was stepping
Her forthright chants
Endangered grants,
They found that most distressing.
NOW SALLY DEAR! Don't blame warming star-ward!
And Don't use the name of Harvard!"
"For academic freedom's fine
And you can be our honey,
But we cannot allow your speech
To cost us federal money."
"Yes, we get paid to seek the grail
Of greenhouse correlation;
Your facts, the train,
they would derail,
toward global legislation."
Yippi - i - i ! Yippi - i - o !
Don't make our money go!
In ‘thirty-seven Henry Ford
Used fuel, CO2 neutral,
To run his cars on hemp oil,
Squeezed from plants, all green and beautiful.
But Big Oil went to Congress
With some money and some lies.
And banned farmers from growing hemp.
Said, "U.S. hemp must die."
Yippi - i - o ! Yippi - i - i !
Some people might get high!
Big bucks we need to spend now,
Congressman Israel said,
To fund a Moon-shot-like effort,
Clean energy instead.
When told of Ford’s hemp oil plan,
He said he wasn’t gonna,
To save the world, allow a plant,
That could make Marijuana.
Yippi - i - o ! Yippi - i - i !
Some people might get high!
From Kyoto* there echo cries
for global legislation,
Which wouldn't pass if folks knew:
Warmth
just comes from insolation.
And still the press promotes as fact
The hoax of global warming,
In hope to justify the New
World Order that is forming.
Yippi - i - o ! Yippi - i - i !
Ghost gasses in the sky!

Campaign Song 2018 Chris Garvey for A.G.
To the tune of Old Dan Tucker
Andrew Cuomo was in charge of HUD;
Fifty-billion, lost in ledger mud;
Said his spokesman: "Won't you give me a listen?"
"It's just unaccounted-for, it ain't quite missin'!"
Chorus:
Vote in 'Eighteen, for Christopher Garvey.
Won't rest until - - New Yorkers are free.
Make our freedom more than just ephemeral.
Vote Libertarian Attorney General.
Big Tim Sullivan won nominations.
His thugs removed opponents by defenestration.
His thugs didn’t bother with an honest job.
Instead they had chosen, to steal and rob.
But armed New Yorkers were a bitter pill:
Sullivan’s muggers getting shot and killed.
To keep his robbers from being harmed,
He passed a law to get his victims disarmed.
So now you need a permit, to carry a gun.
And in most places, they won’t give you one.
A shameful legacy of bad old Big-Tim’s:
Protecting robbers, from New York’s victims.
Chorus:
Go vote today, for Christopher Garvey.
Won't rest until - - New Yorkers are free.
Make our freedom more than just ephemeral.
Vote Libertarian Attorney General.
Why? has a citizen, need of a gun?
Cause guns save lives, they're not just for fun.
Tyrants have murdered their disarmed civilians,
Last century: A-hundred-eighty-millions.
Chorus:
Vote in 'Eighteen, for Christopher Garvey.
Won't rest until - - New Yorkers are free.
Make our freedom more than just ephemeral.
Vote Libertarian Attorney General.
Somebody’s poisoning most of the nation,**
With drinking water Fluoridation.
Reckless poison of our brains is a fault,
Garvey would charge as 3rd degree Assault.
Chorus:
Vote in 'Eighteen, for Christopher Garvey.
Won't rest until - - New Yorkers are free.
Make our freedom more than just ephemeral.
Vote Libertarian Attorney General.
Nine-eleven when the towers fell,
Soon thereafter, went our rights - as well.
Stuff- not right- in the explanation.
That's why Garvey wants investigation.
Chorus:
Vote in 'Eighteen, for Christopher Garvey.
Won't rest until - - New Yorkers are free.
Make our freedom more than just ephemeral.
Vote Libertarian Attorney General.
If you're a-hurtin' and have need of drugs,
You're afoul of drug enforcement thugs,
Rules a-plenty must you heed and a-listen,
Still your doctor might wind-up in a prison.
Chorus:
Vote in 'Eighteen, for Christopher Garvey.
Won't rest until - - New Yorkers are free.
Make our freedom more than just ephemeral.
Vote Libertarian Attorney General.
Governments love eminent domain.
They take your land, which you worked hard to gain.
That's just something Garvey can't abide,
In such fights, he'll be upon your side.
Chorus:
Go vote today, for Christopher Garvey.
Won't rest until - - New Yorkers are free.
Make our freedom more than just ephemeral.
Vote Libertarian Attorney General.

*defenestration - Throwing opponents out the windows (of the Democrat club, after beating-them-up.)
**...According to scientific publications in Europe and the United States, it appears that fluoride can cause – in addition to stomach troubles – Down’s syndrome, Alzheimer’s, birth defects, cancers, recurrent rashes, mouth ulcers, headaches and osteoporosis. It presents serious risks for diabetics and may be fatal for people suffering from kidney disjunction. But the real revelation is that it doesn’t really give protection against cavities. https://fluoridealert.org/news/cancer-alzheimers-downs-syndrome-and-mouth-ulcers-warning-fluoride-is-harmful-to-health/
Almost as Helpful as a Placebo
(sung)
I simply remember my favorite things,
and then I don't need:
Zoloft, or Paxil, or Sarafem, or Lexapro;
Almost as helpful as is a placebo,
Celexa, Selective Serotonin Inhibitors,
that were the most common causal contributors,
(spoken)
In 95% of the mass shootings,
Of recent decades.

Red Light Cameras with 3 sec. Yellow lights kill people.
The best way to increase red light compliance is to increase Yellow light times.
But better compliance means fewer tickets and and less cash from Red-Light cameras.
So they shorten Yellow times so more drivers can't stop in time.
And people die in the resulting crashes.
Whoever set 3 sec. Yellow times has committed felony negligent homicide.
The accident videos are not available.
That's tampering with evidence.

See article by Greg Blass
"That leaves us Christopher Garvey, whose campaign website deserves
attention, with his welcome disconnection from this Suffolk rogues’
gallery. The cancer in county law enforcement and the upper echelons of
county government well serves to justify his election. The voters have
no viable alternative. Just as they did in the magnificent result of the
GOP primary of Lawrence Zacarese for sheriff, the voters just might
save the day in the county DA’s election this Nov. 7."

I’ve
known Chris for 35 years and while I have great respect for both
Commissioner Sini and Ray Perini, both come with far more baggage than
this office can afford.
Chris is a breath of fresh air. Not a politician though he runs often on the Libertarian line, He is erudite urbane and brilliant!
Chris will get the focus off victimless crimes and be an able co-prosecutor with the federal authorities. Chris Garvey will root out crime, focus on gang violence and cut off lines of their funds. He has innovative ideas on how to reduce Suffolk’s out of control opioid epidemic that will focus on prevention ad rehabilitation.

Chris Garvey is the only guy I can think of that could lure me into being prosecutor!
I never endorse a District Attorney Candidate, but I am breaking the rule.
I ENDORSE CHRISTOPHER GARVEY for Suffolk County District Attorney!
