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.

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.

**...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.

"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.

As Attorney General, I will not prosecute people for owning, possessing, nor carrying any type of knife.
This came in my email 10/25/17. What's wrong with our criminal Governor Cuomo?
In a shocking move, Governor Andrew Cuomo has vetoed A.5667-A, a bill that would have dramatically reformed the laws on knives in New York.
The current statutes are so murky and unclear that the New York City Police Department has interpreted it to mean an effective ban on almost all knives.
Thousands of people have been prosecuted for basic folding knives that can be bought in any hardware or sporting goods store. And most of those arrested have come from minority and low income backgrounds.
This legislation was passed by a 136-1 majority in the New York State Assembly and a 61-1 majority in the New York State Senate.
It was supported by a broad coalition of groups including the AFL-CIO, the NAACP, the New York Times, Knife Rights, and FPC.
Governor Cuomo vetoed it anyway, citing concerns over a recent rise in knife attacks in New York City.
Why he didn’t consider the fact that current NY law leaves victims defenseless to these attacks is unknown to us.
Unfortunately, the insanity remains in New York.
Minority and low-income residents in New York City still face harassment, arrest, and prosecution for the simple crime of owning a common knife.
But we are still fighting in New York!firearmspolicy.org

Greg Blass: The fix is in: Party bosses, not voters, decide who will be Suffolk County’s next district attorney and sheriff
"Suffolk County’s political party bosses are busy at work selecting
our next sheriff and district attorney. Their diabolical goal: these two
county-wide races will again be uncontested – meaning no choice for the
voters, only for the bosses. Nothing new – we haven’t had a choice in a
DA or county sheriff election for 14 years. Why is that?
First of all, in the DA’s office, over 400 assistant district attorneys and other staff are hired at the DA’s discretion. They prosecute all criminal cases in all the courts of Suffolk, including in our justice courts on the East End. No doubt these jobs will be divided among Democratic and Republican leaders, with handouts as well to the Conservative and Independence Party leaders, as with chips in a cynical game of cards."

2017 Libertarians nominate Chris Garvey for Suffolk DA again
Sat. 6/17/2017 The Annual Convention of the Libertarian Party of Suffolk County, in NY again nominated Chris Garvey for Suffolk District Attorney, as it did in 2013 and 2009.
The
District Attorney is not a mere adversary. His first task is to NOT
prosecute the innocent. If a prosecutor has reasonable doubts, he should
not prosecute.
As a Libertarian, my priorities would be to prosecute crimes where force, threat of force, or fraud were used against persons or property. That would include such crimes by government officials.
Poisoning of your air or water is an initiation of force which I would prosecute.
I would not enforce a law that violates the Bill of Rights. The Second Amendment is an important part of the US Constitution. Some NY Laws violate the Second Amendment. GarveyFacts
Voluntary drug use by adults generally does not harm others.
Cannabis has been used mostly harmlessly for thousands of years. It can suppress pain, seizures, and brain damage from trauma or stroke.* There is no link between cannabis use and motor vehicle trauma.**
The main problem with opioid drugs is they are illegal. So users must rely on criminals to obtain drugs. Criminals tend to use fraud and force as business tactics. So users can't rely on consistent product. Hence, the opioid overdoses. I would prosecute dealers who use fraud or force.
Endogenous opioids = Opioid-peptides that are produced in the body include:
Endorphins
Enkephalins
Dynorphins
Endomorphins (Wikipedia)
Although pain is important for sensing injury and avoiding further injury, you don’t need to be distracted by pain for the entire healing duration.
So your body makes Endogenous opioids as natural pain suppressors, that make less noticeable many of the day’s routine discomforts.
If you bash your thumb with a hammer, and your opioid production is good, you can feel the opioid warmth of pain killer infusing your entire arm. Enough pain might also make you drunk, as the endogenous opioids spread to other nerves and brain cells, causing slurred speech. But the pain has done its job of discouraging another hit with the hammer.
Alcohol irritates your nerves, and thereby triggers your opioid production. There is no shortage of endogenous opioids, so there are no physical withdrawal pains.*** Spicy-hot foods similarly trigger opioid production.
When a person takes outside opioids (opiates, drugs derived from opium, Laudanum, morphine and semi-synthetic and synthetic drugs such as hydrocodone, oxycodone and fentanyl), his body senses that he has more opioids than needed for normal pain suppression. Endogenous opioid production is reduced to compensate for the opiates taken, reducing the opiate effect of the outside drug and its high. Hence the increasing dependence on taking opiates. If you keep increasing your dosage to compensate for lower endorphin production, all your opiates come from outside drugs.
When the outside opiate supply is interrupted, the body takes 24-48 hours to ramp up endogenous opioid production to normal levels. Pain becomes more noticeable. “The withdrawal symptoms for opiates may include severe dysphoria, craving for another opiate dose, irritability, sweating, nausea, rhinorrea, tremor, vomiting and myalgia.” Wikipedia
An important therapy for opioid addiction is ibogaine. Make Ibogaine legal for opiate addicts
I would not prosecute ibogaine use or treatment.

* United States Patent 6,630,507 Cannabinoids as antioxidants and neuroprotectants
Hampson , et al. issued October 7, 2003 claims benefit of No. 60/082,589 filed Apr. 21, 1998
Assignee: The United States of America as represented by the Department of Health and Human Services (Washington, DC)
Abstract
Cannabinoids have been found to have antioxidant properties, unrelated to NMDA receptor antagonism. This new found property makes cannabinoids useful in the treatment and prophylaxis of wide variety of oxidation associated diseases, such as ischemic, age-related, inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. The cannabinoids are found to have particular application as neuroprotectants, for example in limiting neurological damage following ischemic insults, such as stroke and trauma, or in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease and HIV dementia. Non-psychoactive cannabinoids, such as cannabidoil, are particularly advantageous to use because they avoid toxicity that is encountered with psychoactive cannabinoids at high doses useful in the method of the present invention. A particular disclosed class of cannabinoids useful as neuroprotective antioxidants is formula (I) wherein the R group is independently selected from the group consisting of H, CH.sub.3, and COCH.sub.3. ##ST

Voluntary drug use by adults generally does not harm others.
Cannabis has been used mostly harmlessly for thousands of years. It can suppress pain, seizures, and brain damage from trauma or stroke.* There is no link between cannabis use and motor vehicle trauma.**
The main problem with opioid drugs is they are illegal. So users must rely on criminals to obtain drugs. Criminals tend to use fraud and force as business tactics. So users can't rely on consistent product. Hence, the opioid overdoses. I would prosecute dealers who use fraud or force.
Endogenous opioids = Opioid-peptides that are produced in the body include:
Endorphins
Enkephalins
Dynorphins
Endomorphins (Wikipedia)
Although pain is important for sensing injury and avoiding further injury, you don’t need to be distracted by pain for the entire healing duration.
So your body makes Endogenous opioids as natural pain suppressors, that make less noticeable many of the day’s routine discomforts.
If you bash your thumb with a hammer, and your opioid production is good, you can feel the opioid warmth of pain killer infusing your entire arm. Enough pain might also make you drunk, as the endogenous opioids spread to other nerves and brain cells, causing slurred speech. But the pain has done its job of discouraging another hit with the hammer.
Alcohol irritates your nerves, and thereby triggers your opioid production. There is no shortage of endogenous opioids, so there are no physical withdrawal pains.*** Spicy-hot foods similarly trigger opioid production.
When a person takes outside opioids (opiates, drugs derived from opium, Laudanum, morphine and semi-synthetic and synthetic drugs such as hydrocodone, oxycodone and fentanyl), his body senses that he has more opioids than needed for normal pain suppression. Endogenous opioid production is reduced to compensate for the opiates taken, reducing the opiate effect of the outside drug and its high. Hence the increasing dependence on taking opiates. If you keep increasing your dosage to compensate for lower endorphin production, all your opiates come from outside drugs.
When the outside opiate supply is interrupted, the body takes 24-48 hours to ramp up endogenous opioid production to normal levels. Pain becomes more noticeable. “The withdrawal symptoms for opiates may include severe dysphoria, craving for another opiate dose, irritability, sweating, nausea, rhinorrea, tremor, vomiting and myalgia.” Wikipedia
An important therapy for opioid addiction is ibogaine. Make Ibogaine legal for opiate addicts
I would not prosecute ibogaine use or treatment.

Cannabinoids have been found to have antioxidant properties, unrelated to NMDA receptor antagonism. This new found property makes cannabinoids useful in the treatment and prophylaxis of wide variety of oxidation associated diseases, such as ischemic, age-related, inflammatory and autoimmune diseases.

Non-psychoactive cannabinoids, such as cannabidoil, are particularly advantageous to use because they avoid toxicity that is encountered with psychoactive cannabinoids at high doses useful in the method of the present invention.

In fact, you can write-in anyone you want. It's not as though the ballot presents you with a lesser-of-two-evils. All five of the major parties have placed the same incumbents on the ballot, in this Stalinist Election.
There were There were 648 write-in votes, .38%, for District Attorney.

The NY Ballot Access Laws are designed to protect the Party Bosses from competition.
The Bi-partisan Board of Elections is:
If you sue the Board, the Judge who will decide your case is nominated & cross-endorsed every 7 years by the same Party Bosses.
To get on the ballot, you must collect as many as 15,000 valid signatures for some offices.
Thousands of signatures must be collected in just six weeks.
To better your odds of surviving an objection, you should try to double the number of signatures.
In Nassau, the local board refused, for weeks of the brief petition period, to advise candidates what the minimum number was.
Signatures are subject to disqualification for any of many picayune "problems", that have nothing to do with forgery.
Signatures are invalidated by, among other things:
In two elections, local government officials have declared the long-existing apartments of Libertarian candidates to be illegal, within days of petitions being filed.
Any voter in your election can object your petitions, so you don't know who is really behind the objection.
If the Board of Elections decides on Tuesday that the Objection is valid, they advise you with a one-page letter, mailed first-class Tuesday night. Details of their decision are not included.
You have till Friday (that's 3 days from when they make that decision, which might be days before you actually receive the decision) to:
If your Judge can find a procedural reason to dismiss your case, he doesn't need to review the hundreds or thousands of signatures in question.
NY Election Law wastes more court time, on election cases, than does any other state.
NJ only requires payment of a small fee to get on the ballot. NJ doesn't have a "crowded" or "confusing" ballot. But, the NY Boards of Election often design deliberately confusing ballots to disadvantage opponents of the incumbents.
When a system often results in one-candidate elections, it has overshot it's stated goal of avoiding "confusing" ballots, and is being used to effectively eliminate democracy.
As a result of NY’s Ballot Access laws, in 2013, as in 2009, there are three County elections in Suffolk that have only one candidate on the ballot.
NY Election Law is really designed to eliminate the voters’ choices, and to thereby protect the Party Bosses, and their anointed candidates, from competition by better candidates. Eliminating voter choice is the real purpose of NY Election Laws, and is the actual result.

- your county in New York City,

Our opponents sued to overturn their term limits -- term limits that the voters enacted by referendum.
As in 2009, our opponents intend to be re-anointed by the major parties [Republican, Democrat, Conservative, Independence, Working Families], without any voter choice.
