This film coupled with Borderline may have caused the emotional outbreak I had when…

Kay's History Personality: I put my stuff in and took my stuff out of the Greyhound bus terminal lockers several times…updated

…I damaged the property in Becker’s apartment.  I am becoming aware this is someone who has experienced this before me and may have done the same thing only that person I am connected to either saw it or visualized it.

Someone in San Francisco is hypnotized…

I found an apartment last night that had a block out shade in the window.  Today I was trying to hang something in the window and suddenly felt overcome with the need to sleep.  I slept for two hours.  Suddenly my eyes popped open, just like Watson in The Woman in Green.  Nearly instantly I was wide awake and went back to doing what I was doing before I got sleepy.  Earlier in the day I was thinking about Nuneviller and this arm of a dead person I found online.  I think it is the suggestion in Ordeal on Locust Street causing the problem.  The arm triggered the response.

One can disbelieve this to no avail as it is a neurolinguistic suggestion, at least until it is extinguished.  One does not extinguish these things by continuing to fire synapses or triggering a response.  This is where I discovered I differed with Skinner and his ideas on Behaviorism, then it hit me he may have been hypnotized himself and operating under the suggestions Watson had already discovered in his work.  To extinguish does not me to destroy neurons, it means to stop reinforcing their connections which create the same response.  To extinguish a response one would have to inhibit neurons from firing, remove the content from the mind and then one can reprogram the brain.  I would also suggest these ideas of repeated responses may be due to projections, dissociations and everyday entanglements.

These two are the same person and attended my high school in Hyde County…

…someone’s personality was splitting – she is the one I recognize as Dorothy Perly.  She could have been enmeshed in my things when I was losing control of my bladder because of my mother’s epidural when my brother was born.   Perly may be connected to Jean Wallace who was from Massachusetts and who I thought was the one who originally had been molested.

I told her I wasn’t interested in the story about Perly.

…I think Frazier was the homosexual who confessed to being a pedophile, in Oswald’s estimation of his behavior.

Dream about bike…

…my senior year in high school I did snatch the screen door of our house open pulling the latch off.  I slept in my car that night, a green volkswagon.  I think someone was watching a movie about biking and which got enmeshed with my thinking…I did buy a bike about 6 months later, but it was blue, it was a 10-18 speed road bike.

I think this was also one of the hospital problems…

It was formally recognised as an individual entity in 1881, at the International Congress of Medicine in London.[34] In 1914, Alfred Fabian Hess theorised that rubella was caused by a virus, based on work with monkeys.[35] In 1938, Hiro and Tosaka confirmed this by passing the disease to children using filtered nasal washings from acute cases.[32]

I purchased a copy of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s short stories…

At this time she also scored her most successful song, "J'ai deux amours" (1931), and became a muse for contemporary authors, painters, designers and sculptors, including Langston Hughes, Ernest Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Pablo Picasso, and Christian Dior. Under the management of Giuseppe Pepito Abatino — a Sicilian former stonemason who passed himself off as a count — Baker's stage and public persona, as well as her singing voice, were transformed.

convicts and forcibly expatriated to New France.

During the September massacres of 1792, the Salpêtrière was stormed on the night of 3/4 September by a mob from the impoverished working-class district of the Faubourg Saint-Marcel, with the avowed intention of releasing the detained street-girls; 134 of the prostitutes were released; twenty-five madwomen were less fortunate and were dragged, some still in their chains, into the streets and murdered.[2] Madame Roland, a Girondin supporter of the Revolution in its first liberalising stages, recorded in her Memoirs that the Revolution "has been stained by villains and become hideous".[3]

Pitié-Salpêtrière Hospital - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

At Butner Kay was asked if she wanted to wear pajamas or a gown.  She chose the pajamas because the gown made her feel more vulnerable to being assaulted.  The nurse then said, you put on the gown.  Kay refused and was sent to seclusion where she was strapped down.  The orderly crawled all over her strapping her down rather than having another nurse assist.

I was also strapped down at NCCIW Prison but they did not crawl all over me to do it.

Saw a recent image of Chaz, wow…

…kinda reminded me of Edward VII too!

Pitié-Salpêtrière Hospital - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 

History[edit source | edit]

The Salpêtrière was originally a gunpowder factory ("salpêtre" being a constituent of gunpowder), but was converted to a dumping ground for the poor of Paris. It served as a prison for prostitutes, and a holding place for the mentally disabled, criminally insane, epileptics, and the poor; it was also notable for its population of rats.

In 1656, Louis XIV charged the architect Libéral Bruant to build a hospital on the location of the factory, founding the Hospice de la Salpêtrière. The building was expanded in 1684.

By the eve of the Revolution, it had become the world's largest hospital, with a capacity of 10,000 patients plus 300 prisoners, largely prostitutes swept from the streets of Paris. From La Salpêtrière they were paired with convicts and forcibly expatriated to New France.

During the September massacres of 1792, the Salpêtrière was stormed on the night of 3/4 September by a mob from the impoverished working-class district of the Faubourg Saint-Marcel, with the avowed intention of releasing the detained street-girls; 134 of the prostitutes were released; twenty-five madwomen were less fortunate and were dragged, some still in their chains, into the streets and murdered.[2] Madame Roland, a Girondin supporter of the Revolution in its first liberalising stages, recorded in her Memoirs that the Revolution "has been stained by villains and become hideous".[3]

Psychiatric Treatment History

1972 Tideland Mental Health – acting out in class which consisted of

Me defending another student, by voluntarily leaving the class

After it was clear she was being made a scapegoat for the rest of the students who were engaging in conversation…there was no violent act or violent confrontation, I simply left the classroom after the instructor threw the other student out for something half the classroom was guilty of at that time. I told him, “he should expel me and half the class from the room”. But I have since realized this was not the sole reason for the school psychologist suggesting that I be seen by someone at the Mental Health clinic. I had written a paper which my US History instructor claimed was an abomination, referring to statements I made about the non-existence of God. I further stated that “one could do anything one wanted to”, but I failed to carry the thought to its logical conclusion, in that I should have stated that, “if you are willing to accept the consequences”. I was NOT confronted about this, by one single instructor nor the counselor I saw at mental health.

It did not become obvious to me until I read Eric Berne’s book, Transactional Analysis and Claude Steiner’s book, Life Scripts, that I realized I had repeatedly been acting out the experience in my childhood when my mother gave me paregoric for various problems, mainly diarrhea. It is also apparent now that I had a complete psychotic break as the result of being given that drug. What does this all mean? Somewhere along the line I was forced into my child state which I acted out repeatedly. I was being abused and I did not realize this because I was and am developmentally retarded because I was not breast fed. I had little knowledge of what was being extracted from my parent and adult states until I began to recognize pieces of my life in books and movies.

Prescription drugs can and do lead to addiction.

I had an IQ of 112 when I was in the 4th grade. My IQ dropped to 103 in 1968.

There was a Fisher who ran the post office in my hometown…

Sara Fisher, a junior studying psychology at Marymount, said.

Kay's History Personality

…she is the one who was working the post office when I mailed my collection of book materials to the copyright office.

While in Pitt Memorial as a patient…

"Much of the staff was drafted during World War II and replaced with nonqualified workers," Sara Fisher, a junior studying psychology at Marymount, said. "Beds were placed in day rooms; infections spread, and there was just one psychologist to care for each 300 patients."

Rockland State Hospital - Asylum Projects

…I resorted to sleeping in the dayroom on the sofa because another patient had smeared her feces all over the wall in her room.  I had been moved to that room but the odor was so bad I couldn’t sleep in there and I just didn’t feel comfortable in that room.  It seemed eerie to me and too vulnerable to intrusions.

I certainly identify with this Plath quote…

I saw the days of the year stretching ahead like a series of bright, white boxes, and separating one box from another was sleep, like a black shade. Only for me, the long perspective of shades that set off one box from the next had suddenly snapped up, and I could see day after day after day glaring ahead of me like a white, broad, infinitely desolate avenue.

Sylvia Plath

I think this is from the prison – Dartmoor or Holloway or even the London Asylum…I think maybe certain species go for periods without sleep and then rest for long periods like bears.

Notes 2004…

The plaintiff did seduce me, got me intoxicated on Everclear grain alcohol, then got me into AA…

The statement I made, "I could kill you for that", was not unlike similar statements I had made in previous situations with others and even with my sister which I never took seriously.

Kay's History Personality

10 years later I learned alcohol damages brain cells and I grew angry at what was done to me.

Oedipus Complex, denial…updated

It is clear blaming someone else for what one has done diverts the aggression from the self onto another who then becomes the target for aggression from the victim and others. 

Reading it is re-creating it in the mind, little more than that can be stated…

Kay's History Personality: More issues…

…I do know I was entangled with the Psyche Department at ECU and UNC via Dr, Calvin Hall and maybe Dr. Susan Hall.  I also know my father was entangled with Dr. Hall during his experiments.

Posted October 21, 2004…

…this was before I found and purchased the book, Sense of the Sixties

more on crime...

Like I posted above, the heart of changing any system, I think, begins with educating the masses, not just a select group of people like the establishment who can exploit those who do not have the same knowledge they do.

In 1994, I was arrested for making a benign statement in a phone conversation, communicating a threat. The plaintiff embellished her story to the magistrate, to include false imprisonment by use of a handgun that I did not own and do not possess, after I had asked her if she would drop me off at the International House of Pancakes, as I had not eaten much for several days and I was hungry, I was walking and it ws hot. She had agreed to do that. On the way I asked her if she had time to stop and let me show her some sketches I had done which I had pawned at a pawn shop. She claimed she was in a hurry but did drop me off at the IHOP. She tried to detain me in her truck in order to continue the conversation we were having. I told her I was hungry and invited her in to eat with me. She refused, we said goodbye and I got out of the truck. After I had dinner, I took the bus from the IHOP to my hotel room and 4 hours later the police were knocking on the door. The plaintiff's obvious guilt and paranoia regarding our history and the things she had done of which I had intimate knowledge, caused her to exaggerate her story in order that I be incarcerated, at which time I did spend 6 months in a jail. Having had a previous record, and without counsel, I was convicted of both charges, after I had been deliberately detained for the length of the sentence, 6 months, before even being tried.

My point is this, not having ever been involved with the legal system in my past in this way, aside from a conviction 4 years earlier, I had no conscious knowledge that communicating a threat was a crime, punishable by law. Had I known that and had I known her state of mind, I certainly would not have verbalized it to her. The statement I made, "I could kill you for that", was not unlike similar statements I had made in previous situations with others and even with my sister which I never took seriously. I was not enraged or even mildly angry, although the plaintiff attempted to make it seem as though I was. I had spent the week prior to our encounter, sleeping on the grounds of the Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church, and various other places. I was too exhausted from lack of sleep to even think about killing anyone and I was not contemplating killing even myself under those dire circumstances, yet the plaintiff was smoking profusely, a habit she had when I first met her in 1979 and a habit I had relinquished 4 years earlier. The plaintiff and I had attended AA meetings together, but obviously she had not practiced many of the steps nor sought to resolve her own spiritual disease.

This is what I mean David when I say we need to educate. Anyone can fabricate a story and have someone incarcerated, just to get back at them. I have to wonder how many of the 2 million people in prison and jail in this country are there as the result of similar reasons?

And you know, the system really puts you in a double bind, damned if you do, damned if you don't situation. A therapist wants you to express your feelings, catharsis I believe they call it, and the plaintiff must have known about this as her father was a minister and counseled many people, but I guess if you say it to the wrong person, you get persecuted and prosecuted.
