"Page 57"

"Where the affinity level is hate, the reality is solid matter, and the communication... bullets".   –  L. Ron Hubbard in "Scientology: Fundamentals of Thought"* Id at 57

    Truer words were never spoken by man. The "affinity" referred to here, is the "degree of liking" or attraction between two or more people. The "reality" is simply what can be agreed upon to be true, or agreed upon as common between those people. When people can only agree on what is empirically evident, they tend to communicate with violence, disrespect, or by exploiting each other... often, as with all wars, they communicate with bullets.

    These are the first few articles in a planned series of articles. The first of the essays was an article on the exploitation of incarcerated veterans in an upstate New York prison, by an individual who used to work for the Canandaigua Veteran's Administration and the prison staff. I have posted reproductions of the documents related to this article on this web site.

    I coined the phrase "Page 57" because the above quote is the only complete sentence on page 57* of the cited volume, and it should have been bold-faced and set in 72-point type. "Let's go to Page 57" is a phrase that means that the only way to communicate with a person is to "bust my gun", because there is no reasoning with that person (or organization). We have a lot of that (bustin' of guns) going around today. When people's rights are violated; when their freedoms are being taken away; when they are robbed blind and enslaved by a puppet government that's gotten out of hand, the Second Amendment applies – that's why The Merchants of Chaos are working so hard to repeal it, or pretend to themselves, and try to convince the rest of us, that it was put there so that you and I could go duck hunting. This is also why a growing number of government employees are being placed above the law by the courts – they are immune from criminal prosecution and civil lawsuits – and that simply cannot be tolerated any longer. "We The People" have the right to petition the government for redress of grievances and to be compensated for our injuries. The courts have stolen our right of petition.
