  • ALCOHOLICS AND HARD DRUG USERS
  • THOSE WITH HIV OR AIDS
  • SEX WORKERS, PORN INDUSTRY WORKERS, AND CLIENTS OF SEX WORKERS

Dear Ones,

I took a look at the Centers for Disease Control’s proposed rollout for the COVID-19 vaccines … https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/recommendations.html … and saw that their Tier 2 for Phase 1c is …

“People aged 16—64 years with underlying medical conditions which increase the risk of serious, life-threatening complications from COVID-19.”

Then I searched out who is eligible for the COVID-19 vaccines in Los Angeles County, California … http://www.publichealth.lacounty.gov/media/coronavirus/vaccine/index.htm … and saw a roughly equivalent Tier 1b including people with serious medical conditions for whom vaccines are now available …  http://publichealth.lacounty.gov/acd/ncorona2019/vaccine/hcwsignup/?level_1=step-1-eligibility&level_2=elig-health-conditions

From the latter webpage, I see that starting 15 March 2021, COVID-19 vaccinations are available in Los Angeles County for those who are 16 to 64 years of age and who have high risk health conditions and disabilities such as …

  • Cancer, current with weakened immune system
  • Chronic kidney disease, stage 4 or above
  • Chronic pulmonary disease, oxygen dependent
  • Down syndrome
  • Solid organ transplant, leading to a weakened immune system
  • Pregnancy
  • Sickle cell disease
  • Heart conditions, such as heart failure, coronary artery disease, or cardiomyopathies (but not hypertension)
  • Severe obesity (Body Mass Index of 40 or greater, CDC BMI Calculator)
  • Type 2 diabetes mellitus with hemoglobin A1c level greater than 7.5%
  • People who, as a result of a developmental or other significant high-risk disability, meet one or more of the following criteria:
    • A COVID-19 infection is likely to result in severe life-threatening illness or death; OR
    • Acquiring COVID-19 will limit the individual’s ability to receive ongoing care or services vital to their well-being and survival; OR
    • Providing adequate and timely COVID care will be particularly challenging as a result of the individual’s disability.
    • The three criteria above include people with a range of physical and behavioral disabilities including
      • Individuals with severe behavioral health issues and substance use disorders …”

ALCOHOLICS AND HARD DRUG USERS

At the bottom of the list, I have bolded the directive that people with substance use disorders are able to get the vaccine now. That might include alcoholics and people who have a habit of using hard drugs, but that information might not yet be widely available as it is not bolded in the list. I feel it might be good to give it more emphasis on the Los Angeles County web page.

THOSE WITH HIV OR AIDS

Below that on the Los Angeles County list I see that enrolled customers of Medi-Cal HIV/AIDS Waiver can get the vaccines. As I read the description of the waiver, that would include a sector of people severely ill with HIV/AIDS, which would be good to include among those for whom the vaccine is available, of course, since HIV/AIDS infection lowers the immune response. 

  • I feel it would also be good to include all those over 15 years of age who have HIV or AIDS in the bolded list of health conditions and disabilities.

SEX WORKERS, PORN INDUSTRY WORKERS, AND CLIENTS OF SEX WORKERS

I see this list of Phase 1b occupations now eligible for COVID-19 vaccination in Los Angeles County …

  • Education and Childcare
  • Emergency Services
  • Food and Agriculture
  • People with Serious Health Conditions/Disabilities
  • People Who Live or Work in Congregate Living Spaces
  • Janitorial, Custodial, and Maintenance Services
  • Transportation and Logistics

It seems to me that since sex workers’ income depends on coming into close physical contact with clients, it is likely that sex work might be a nexus for COVID-19 transmission.

I read online that making pornographic films is legal in California (and also in New Hampshire). It seems to me likely that this is among the occupations that could be bulleted in the above list of eligible occupations. Possibly it might fall under the category “People Who Live or Work in Congregate Living Spaces,” but it seems to me documentation might be lacking because of concern for social opprobrium, especially for those engaged in that industry as a sideline to more mainstream occupations.

Thus I feel it would be good to include sex workers and porn industry workers in the list of high risk occupations. 

It might also be good if the health news websites were to publish the health measures they feel would help prevent infection for regular clients of sex workers.

In love, light and joy,
I Am of the Stars

Dear Ones,

PHYSICAL AND SEXUAL ABUSE OF CHILDREN DOMESTICALLY DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC

Last month the major United States news agencies came out with articles on the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department shutting down four major crime units as a result of the Defund the Police movement …

Link: “The County Continues to Defund Law Enforcement,” by Sheriff Alex Villanueva, 1 October 2020 … https://lasd.org/county-continues-to-defund-law-enforcement/ ..

One of the units to be shut down has to do with sexual abuse, including sexual and physical abuse of children. I gather that the COVID-19 pandemic may have something to do with this, as, from a pragmatic point of view, COVID restrictions prevent child abusers from seeking sexual relief amongst the children of families other than their own.

Rather, I feel it must be true that the ‘safer at home’ regulation may have caused an increase of sexual and physical abuse of children within the home. It must be that the function of society with regard to domestic violence is less one of criminal trial and more one of counseling, the intent being to keep the family together. Thus it may be difficult for law enforcement to take a firm line with regard to physical and sexual abuse of children while the children are ‘safe at home’ during the COVID-19 pandemic.

TAKEN TOGETHER, COVID-19 AND AIDS ARE RESULTING IN INCREASED MORTALITY FOR BOTH ADULTS AND CHILDREN

The COVID-19 pandemic is resulting in mortality mainly amongst adults, especially seniors and those with serious medical conditions. It seems that young children are much less likely to die of COVID.

On the other hand, the concomitant AIDS epidemic results in greater mortality amongst the young. Adults with AIDS who are on Western medications are said to be able to live till their 70s, albeit they are unlikely to parent children who are born AIDS-free.

It seems to me that the gravity of the AIDS infected parent’s immune system impairment may be making it more difficult for them to survive AIDS infection. In addition, I feel it may be life-threatening for AIDS infected mothers to bear children to term. Thus the situation of preserving the life of AIDS infected parents is of concern.

HOW IS A LIGHTWORKER TO HOLD THE TRIBULATIONS THAT MANIFEST ON EARTH?

We Lightworkers are very opposed to savage treatment of children. We believe in human rights, and in human kindness, one to another. We feel that to walk in Christ’s footsteps is to bring the Light of Christ Consciousness to our planet, and that this spiritual practice will help uplift our Earth.

Yet so many people here on Earth are enmired in Darkness, in the very social ills that the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department until now has helped to prevent, it can be a challenge to maintain a positive outlook despite the way things appear to be, from a 3D and 4D perspective.

In addition, as a Lightworker and a medical editor, I have found it a challenge to reconcile my understanding of the grave effects of these two pandemics with my understanding of Christ’s consciousness and the Ascension process here on Earth.

This is, I feel, on the one hand a time of Great Tribulation. On the other hand, we may envision this time as the Second Coming, and of the upliftment of the world to New Life on New Earth. Yet how may we hold these great sorrows visited upon humankind … these two pandemics, the one laying low, as it does, the sick and the elderly; and the other laying low our hope of tomorrow, the cherished children of our bosom?

HOW THE AIDS PANDEMIC MAY AFFECT SOCIAL VALUES ON NEW EARTH

It came to me this evening that the AIDS pandemic may be held by those of faith in a way quite different from the norm. In a certain Light, it may be discerned to be a gift from God to humankind, which will select for the survival of the New Human on New Earth. The New Humans, I feel, will respect their children and never sexually molest them. There will be no child trafficking. Young people will be chaste, and likely remain faithful to one partner, selected at puberty, for life.

Many of the social issues currently plaguing humankind will vanish from Earth because those who practice sexual molestation of or incest with their children will see the death of their children before child-bearing age. Thus their family lines will end, and the family lines that remain will be those that sexually respect their children.

As children become more scarce, parents will most likely be keeping a careful eye on their children … even more so than they do today … to prevent their children from being snatched up by child traffickers, in whose hands they will surely die of AIDS before childbearing age.

For post-pubertic youth with multiple sexual partners there will be a great number of schools with 100% AIDS children. As I understand it, AIDS is a disease so serious that it poses too great a risk for a woman to have a child. That the child would most likely have AIDS at birth, and then only live a few years, or at most only till just before puberty, means that teens with AIDS will not have children.

The same would apply to young women and men with AIDS and who are sex workers.

That is why I feel the New Human will have cultural values of respect for their children, strict prevention of child trafficking, chastity in teens, absence of sex work, and fidelity to one lifelong spouse. It is the childbearing ability and family lines of those who have different cultural values will be cut off, and their genes eliminated from the human gene pool.

AIDS AND AND CHANGING SOCIAL VALUES IN GEOGRAPHICALLY ISOLATED CULTURES AROUND THE GLOBE

I feel there will be geographically isolated cultures that may continue these social practices for some while because AIDS infection does not reach those areas. After the time lag caused by their geographical isolation, in a matter of a generation or so, the chance HIV infection will occur, and the more isolated regions will, I feel, begin to undergo the process of social value change outlined above.

That would be, in a way, similar to the course of COVID-19 infection in the United States, where we saw much more incidence in large urban areas nationwide, and what seemed to be the less populated states in the north central part of the United States were spared severe infection till the winter of 2020. But with AIDS, I feel, for very isolated cultures, the time lag might be as much as 20 or 25 years.

INVASIVE WESTERN MEDICAL PRACTICES MAY FALL OUT OF FAVOR AS PATIENTS SEEK TO AVOID INFECTION BY AIDS-BEARING SURGEONS

As well, I feel that there will be a turning away from invasive Western medical practices, to holistic and alternative medicine as a means to prevent transmission of AIDS from doctor to patient.

As more and more Western medical practitioners are infected with AIDS, I feel it likely patients will intuitively begin to avoid potential blood mingling Western medical practices such as inoculation by needle and surgery, as the possibility of their getting AIDS from the Western medical practitioners will begin to be perceived. Thus I feel it possible that, for the next 100 years, much progress will be made in noninvasive, holistic, alternative medical applications as alternatives to invasive Western medical practices.

THE OUTLOOK FOR AIDS RESILIENCE BY THE YEAR 2120

I hope that, in the long run, humankind may become more able to be healthy, sexually reproductive, and long-lived despite infection with AIDS. That may take perhaps a century, I feel.

In the meantime, as noted above, there may be a global shift to more compassionate and heart-centered sexual practices, and less invasive medical practices, in the interests of survival of family groups during the four or five childbearing generations that must likely take place before humankind adapts to AIDS as a virus easily tolerated by those of us in good health.

LIGHTWORKERS AND HEALERS CAN HOLD THE AIDS PANDEMIC IN A NEW LIGHT OF COMPASSION AND FAITH

We have before us a Soul learning experience of unprecedented magnitude. For those that are teachers of humankind, let us embrace this experience wholeheartedly. Let us offer solace as we may to those who are suffering, but stand in our own neutral, healing Light, knowing that, despite the suffering all around us, in a deeper sense, all is well.

God is love, is He not? How can it be that He offers us aught but what will uplift and inspire us, were we to see the passing show with His eyes, feel it with His heart, and know it with His wisdom?

For the Lightworker, for instance, this is a wonderful opportunity to rise beyond the aggressor-victim paradigm so oft enacted in 3D and 4D, and to begin to welcome the thought that God does all … even that which we perceive as Tribulation … for the benefit of our own Soul Wisdom.

When we feel dismay, let us say with confidence to ourselves: I will let God take care of everything! God will take care of everything!

In love, light and joy,
I Am of the Stars

Richmond Attacker . a drawing by Alice B. Clagett

Imaged and published on 23 October 2020

Dear Ones,

Here is a drawing I made of a man in a nightmare I had on a Sunday afternoon a few weeks ago. I have described the nightmare in the caption.

Later I thought I must have seen a full-head Halloween mask, maybe even one on a man of another race … maybe even a Caucasian of similar build and with, say, very similar Soul wounding. I have not had found such a full-head Halloween mask for sale online yet; have not had time to take a look.

If such an event had actually occurred, I could see where a full-head mask might be very misleading.

In addition, in the vision, the white ‘slaver’ looked put-on, like a paste of confectioner’s sugar powder with a little water added, for instance …

Image: “Richmond Attacker, Sunday, 11 October 2020,” by Alice B. Clagett, 23 October 2020, CC BY-SA 4.0 … DESCRIPTION: I am not completely sure I got the date right. I know it was on a Sunday afternoon, most likely 11 October 2020, that I had this nightmare. A man approached from behind a woman walking on a street in Richmond, Virginia. Moving quickly, he stuck a poisoned prison ‘shiv’ into the outside of her right upper arm. She looked at her arm and saw a piece of metal stuck into it. She could only see the outside of the metal; that was circular and looked about as big as the end of a bullet about 9/16 inch in diameter; there was no marking on it. The end of the weapon pressed the skin around it in a little; there was just a tiny circlet of dark blood outlining the edge of the weapon where it pierced the skin. I intuited that the weapon was thin and hand-shaped, tapering to a very sharp point inside the arm. The woman said: “Oh, look what M— D— did,” and tried to get the weapon out. She said: “I can’t get it out.” Then she fell down face up at the edge of a median curb in the street. Another woman walked quickly up and exclaimed: “I told you to wait right there till I came back. What have you done?” and leaned down to try to help her. The injured woman struggled to breathe; her breaths came faintly. On the psychic plane I said: “Make sure her chin is up to clear the airway.” The second woman did that, then said: “Now it is better.” Then she used her cell phone to dial 9-1-1. When she dialed that number I had the vision of the attacker, which I attempted to portray in this image. There was thick white ‘slaver’ coming out of his mouth. The ‘slaver’ obscured his lower lip. His skin was black; blue-black beneath the eyes, which looked oriental. His face was expressionless.

Don’t Be Roast ‘Pigeon’ for a Crime Gang!

Dear Ones,

Here is a law enforcement ‘what if’ for grassroots neighborhood watch nationwide, and also for law enforcement in our towns and cities …

Let’s say a crime gang … such as one of the United States ‘mobs’ or mafias, or a street gang, or an outlaw gang, or a flimflam group of confidence men … were to be in the habit of cultivating patsies (fat ‘pigeons’ they could pluck).

You may have heard of ‘keeping double books’? This next move is a little like that, but instead they might keep ‘double organizations’.

Here would be the move: They might put up a socially suave ‘yuppie’ front, named ‘such-and-such’. This would be a respect-worthy non-profit organization, a 501(c), and lure the mark into the front organization.

At the same time they might put up a ‘back’ corporation by the same name. The advantage of the ‘back’ corporation might be that it would be harder to track who has the money. For instance, the members of the ‘back’ organization, might be corporate entities rather than people, and so the ‘back’ corporation might represent a tax ‘maze’ for the IRS. Thus it might be a money laundering vehicle, I feel. The idea might be to grab some of the mark’s money as a ‘donation’ to a nonprofit, then launder it through the ‘shell’ corporations which operate a little like the famous flimflam ‘shell games’. That way they might avoid taxation by the IRS.

Then the crime gang spends time gaining the confidence of their ‘pigeon’.

Let’s say the gang has a favored ‘take-down’, that has been working like clockwork for years. For instance, they might have on tap …

  • a consigliere (a mob lawyer),
  • a medical doctor, a medical therapist ‘angel of death’, a psychiatrist and a psychologist,
  • and a law enforcement officer,
  • all working under a mob boss posing as or having ‘under his finger’ a financial advisor.

The MO (modus operandi) might be to first to capture the pigeon’s finances through the financial adviser, then misdiagnose the pigeon with a terminal physical illness or a mental illness, then when the pigeon is in a health care facility, to send in the medical therapist ‘angel of death’ for the kill.

Put yourself in the shoes of the ‘pigeon’: A take-down has just been attempted. By God’s grace (and His alone) you have escaped unscathed. The mob has your number, and they know you know their game.

What will they do, you wonder? They will pursue you and kill you, so as to prevent knowledge of their crime gang and their MO (modus operandi) from leaking out to law enforcement and the AARP Bulletin’s crime prevention column. They will do what it takes to silence you for good.

Recognizing the deck is stacked and the odds are not in your favor, you the ‘pigeon’ make a run for it back to your home town.

But they know where you live! Through their carefully picked false authorities, and through weight of numbers and collusionary agreement amongst themselves, they present a fraudulent report to your local law enforcement agency to the effect that you have committed the very crimes that are the bread-and-butter of their own crime gang.

An example might be like this: The mob consigliere or his local law enforcement ‘bird in the hand’ tips your local law enforcement precinct that you are a drug trafficker with a drug habit and a street walker.

So your local law enforcement, at considerable expense, stakes out your home to discern your activities. Weeks go by. Your own precinct figures it must have gotten a false lead, and puts a mental question mark by the name of the consigliere or sheriff who provided the false lead.

But they still have a question mark by your own name. So when you go down to your precinct to explain about the crime gang, and offer what you can in the way of names and photos, they decline to accept what you have to offer.

Let’s say your precinct suggests you the ‘pigeon’ go to the FBI. That would make sense for a multi-state crime gang. Our local law enforcement agencies, I feel, are set up to preserve law and order in our local communities, not fight crime nationwide.

I note that the FBI has an online form to report crime tips. Let’s say you go online and make a lengthy report about the crime family … names and addresses, photos, whatever you may have.

Weeks go by. You begin to wonder … Maybe the FBI is swamped with crime reports. Maybe they are understaffed, and can only work on the most ‘in your face’ instances of crime nationwide. Or maybe they just do not believe you. Let’s say … whatever the cause … you the ‘pigeon on the run’ do not hear back from the FBI. And you notice there is no way to contact them personally about it, what with COVID and all.

The crime gang is still hot on the tail of you, their mark who escaped the take-down. You have exhausted the usual crime prevention resources. What to do?

To preserve one’s own life is, I feel, a noteworthy accomplishment when the odds are this stacked. Here is my suggestion: Why not ‘Yelp’ what you have? Put it online, send copies to family, friends, and your Neighborhood Watch, and to any interested lawyers, free of charge. Make sure the crime family knows you have broadcast this information.

The more people who know what you know, the less important it will be to the crime family to end your life.

It seems to me possible that the low-down on crime gangs nationwide is at hand, and just under our noses. We the people of the United States can help mitigate the damage done by crime gangs in America.

Even if our local law enforcement’s hands are tied, even if the FBI does not respond to our plea, we can act on our own behalf, and for the sake of crime prevention in our local communities.

The means at hand, I feel, is grassroots communication. After all, knowledge is power. The pen is mightier than the sword. Let us take up our handhelds and provide that knowledge of the nefarious endeavors of crime mobs to everyone with an ear to hear it.

God bless each of you with courage to soldier on in these stressful times. May we stand together, in communities large and small, against crime and for peaceful, prosperous endeavor.

In love, light and joy,
I Am of the Stars

SUMMARY OF THE VIDEO

“The Gatorade Kid”
A Poem by Alice B. Clagett
25 October 2019
Soundtrack and Words

 

There was a kid
who lived outside
He lived right behind
The Iron Horse Inn

When the snows came
He would beg those within
for a chance to stay warm
from dusk to dawn.

The rent he paid was
a goofy grin
and if they required it –
a night’s love-in

One day I heard
a car drive by
I heard, offhand:
Would you like a ride?

and the kid said: Sure!

They stopped just offroad
in an evergreen aisle.
The man at the wheel
said with a smile:

Kid, wanna go the mile?
I can make it worth your while!

and the kid said: Sure!

Then I saw the boy’s face
contorted in pain
Oh! Why does it feel so strange?

He fell down bleeding by a back tire
On the ground down snow
‘Twixt the car and the lane

Two men guffawed
and drove away

The next day I walked out
my motel door
hoping to see
the boy’s face once more

I saw his Gatorade lying there
in a snowdrift
by a new guest’s door

It was tipped sideways.
It was half full –
the liquid bright blue
on the shoveled snow

Next day I walked out
with a flutter of hope
like a blue bird tangled
up in my heart

I saw the Gatorade
sunk in the snow
and my heart checked out
of the Iron Horse Inn.

. . . . .

In love, light and joy,
I Am of the Stars
