 Middleburgh, July 28. – Word has been received here that Freeman Bloodgood, ninety-two, formerly of Conesville, near Middleburgh, is dead at State College, N. M. Mr. Bloodgood moved to New Mexico in 1881.

 He engaged in teaming and hauled freight between Las Vegas and White Oaks. 

He also hauled the first load of ore out of Kingston in New Mexico, when that place was a mining camp. 

The ore was hauled to Nut station before Deming was founded. 

At Kingston he was a crony of Doheny, the oil magnate. 

He later conducted a ranch in the Mogollones, after which he went into the cattle business near Kingston. He was born in New York state.

     About four years ago he fell and since then had been in poor health, making his home with his son, Dean Bloodgood. The later was a former student in Middleburgh High school before locating in the west. 

Surviving are his wife, who was Ophelia A. Shoemaker, oldest daughter of Abram Shoemaker, formerly of Conesville, at that time called Stone Bridge; two sons, Dean Bloodgood of State College and Ellsworth Bloodgood of Kingston, N. M. 

He was also a brother-in-law of Weidman Shoemaker, eighty-five, of Middleburgh. Dr. Garrison E. Shoemaker of Cobleskill is a nephew. Interment was made in the Masonic cemetery at Las Cruces, N. M.

trump exempts citgo from sanctions

http://thehill.com/policy/energy-environment/348007-trump-exempts-citgo-from-venezuela-sanctions

"President Trump is exempting Citgo Petroleum Corp., owned by Venezuela’s government, from the financial sanctions imposed Friday on the country."

"A subsequent disclosure form shows Citgo paid Avenue Strategies $80,000 through June and that Bennett lobbied the White House, the Energy Department, the Justice Department and the Treasury Department, which houses the unit that ultimately imposes sanctions.

In the first half of the year, Citgo spent $900,000 on lobbying, with the lion’s share going to Democratic operative Manuel Ortiz of VantageKnight, a shop he formed after leaving top K Street firm Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck. Ortiz, who earned $540,000 in the first six months of 2017 from the oil giant, has represented Citgo since 2014, according to federal forms.

Cornerstone Government Affairs is also on retainer, taking in $280,000 from July through June.

A senior administration official said that officials are also watching out for whether Rosneft, Russia’s state oil company, takes a significant stake in Citgo, which Venezuela put up as collateral for a loan from Russia.

Such a transaction, or trading that collateral for an interest in Citgo assets, could trigger new action against the company since Rosneft is already subject to United States sanctions, the official told reporters"

"The Venezuelan national oil company will merge two Oklahoma-born companies "to achieve a stronger position" in the United States refining and marketing industry, company officials disclosed Thursday.

Champlin Refining and Chemicals Inc., based in Irving, Texas, will be combined with Tulsa-based Citgo Petroleum Corp., Petroleos de Venezuela S.A. (PDVSA) spokesman Kent Young said at a Tulsa news conference. The joint headquarters will remain in Tulsa."

slum lord ejects more shit

slumlord gets his jollies by the tongues of eels
zapping his wingnut wallet with electrodes
made of granny's pulled tooth fillings, he has loads of wire
running up his spine into an attic of greed
hoarding toxic trophies of moments recalled in the corporate sense,
filling pillows with shredded insulation and chickenwire
snippings salted sweetly remotely fathoming
doom in a slough shaped black hole of conscience
tarred with the beasts he liquefied
to make the glue of contracts shat in disappearing shit
ejecting from his every movement

odd dad posed the demise of the old datsun

me, with a broken nose and the peacemaker of Kingston
sending the car i learned to drive with off to
the big scrapyard in the sky

time heals to reopen new wounds

Those of us properly learned by the large granite podiums
Recall Xerxes enraged, lashing the waters because
They drowned his gi joe doll collection

And who’ll ever forget the challenger
Ripped to flaming peaces, then pulled up from the ocean
To find sanctuary in an abandoned missile silo

Why just recently a few teens sneaked into the zoo at night
And dared one another to climb in with the polar
Bears, luckily only one child was man enough though
When all was done and burped they
Slaughtered the bears! Today a sample child fell

Off high dive (don’t see how)
And people avoided the board for a long time
But guess what! Soon they were at it again,
Riding the broncos and surfing the watery graves

It is my belief that at night when all the eyes
Were out for the count, bland governmental men dressed in
Black robes came and melted the diving board
Into crucifixes and airplane props,
Exorcised the evil into digital form before driving out
To pay homage at the plutonium parade

yellah (1987)

Not so long ago yellow meant chicken shit, now
It’s a power color for china toothed execs, canary colored
Ties for banana republic tyrants driving bmws thru
Shuddering morning traffic to get to the golf course where chrome
Bumpered carts await while their children lap-up
Computer generated wet dreams while mom looks like
A million but only pays taxes on 60 thou
While looking like the cat who ate the fiscal coalmine canary
While toting the republic’s banner, their march
Is a synchronized goosestepping thru the flowers of people’s
Park as they once stuffed daisies in soldier’s
Rifles they now feed billions into defense industry trifles,
There’s a chilling draft to these diamond dimpled types
As they draft more efficient ways to avoid taxes
While drafting more efficient ways to imprison while
Drawing-n-quartering the heathen, they have
In fact trashed the mythic american dream by
Enforcing the urine test, spewing out neon radioactive
Clouds, forcing school children to kneel and salute
The cloth, promoting the red scare
And warning the tykes not to take their eyes off the pie

Soon the official color will be apple rot puce
And all will dress officially
While attending state-sanctioned executions and
Abortion clinic blockades, the new order has shed the
Pinstriped gangster suit and invoked the
Fashions of miami vice to cloak
Their savagery in pastels

ain't no jobs (1988)

Ain’t no jobs in Stillsville none in the greasy armpit
Restaurants where the youth roll up their sleeves and plunge
Into the putrid dishwater and choke on the shit eating grin
While cleaning up for the zillionaire rednecks and
Their beehived concubines who snarl for ashtrays and deposit
Their chewing gum under yer apron

Ain’t no work in the convenience store unless ya lop off
Yer hair’s golden plumes and forsake the limbs of
Yer mind to the tree cutters and even if
You get the job it means livin on money stained with the
Feces of satan where bossman hides his piggybank full

Of coke and bribery ain’t no work with the paintbrush
Unless you got her papers certifying your ability to
Mask the seams cause even  if you were to get a shot at
That job you’d probably fall off a ladder with
Paint in your eyes

Ain’t no labor opportunity in the construction sectors because
They’re being hatched prefab in mexico and korea
Out of shredded old growth complete with bedside bible
And ten gauge and even if you lucked into a shift
Here and there you’d see thru the shabbiness of the human condition
And make homes of mud

But there ain’t no positions to fill being a protector of the
Planet tho if I could get this appointment I’d
Take a few looks at our lawnmowers and suburban sprawl and
Family dissolution which would
Be more than an unending job

bohemian egg (1988)

German atheists paint rainbow landscapes and sell
Them on the corner for a cup of coffee or beer.
They eat their manuscripts and burn
Their hair for warmth

Seven moons are reflected in the storm windows of
The testament building, each is pocked

At night they blow lint across the air,
Suspending it like pain
It rests on their furroughed foreheads if they ever sleep

Wallpaper roars in agony. Moon peels
The carbon night away
Leaving divots on the golfballs of hunger they
Clutch and cradle

Two minute eggs
On the fairway course of bohemia

sprouts over the page like a funeral cloak mysteriously unwinding as the zero,

reciting the junkfood of sirens: whoa, that started taking too mush shape,
i need to rewire this beast with goofballs, ride its noxious fuckbluster breath
like a bronco, bottle of exlax in hand, trying to coax out the skittish image
hunched under the fern in the corner---and out one comes as i rattle
its lair, a tornado on fire exploding with purple question marks that all ask
why the edited lady is barbequed on the beach with a baby strugglin
out of the repulsion striding over the hypodermic missles with a
dull black fist branding an x across the scene making us
feel guilty of awareness of bums caught peeing on squawmart making them
pop up like mormons

james brown kisses his self thru the bars aiding in the instruction of
america in some barely knowable way we enjoy, precluding

the faces of children imagined as clouds escaping
unpublishable gusts, no cosmic insight, no nutritional value, no hint of the nature
of hinting no peep into the innards(see them strewn loosely
no nothing save general silliness feigning nothingness just to plead more contest
which is just the point of illumination i accomplished long ago, many

whose Oil? whose Gold? whose Water?

Under earlier Spanish and Mexican rule, California's original native population had precipitously declined, above all, from Eurasian diseases to which the indigenous people of California had not yet developed a natural immunity.[59]

 Under its new American administration, California's harsh governmental policies towards its own indigenous people did not improve. As in other American states, many of the native inhabitants were soon forcibly removed from their lands by incoming American settlers such as miners, ranchers, and farmers.

 Although California had entered the American union as a free state, the "loitering or orphaned Indians" were de facto enslaved by their new Anglo-American masters under the 1853 Act for the Government and Protection of Indians.[60]

 There were also massacres in which hundreds of indigenous people were killed.

Between 1850 and 1860, the California state government paid around 1.5 million dollars (some 250,000 of which was reimbursed by the federal government)[61] to hire militias whose purpose was to protect settlers from the indigenous populations.

In later decades, the native population was placed in reservations and rancherias, which were often small and isolated and without enough natural resources or funding from the government to sustain the populations living on them.[60]

As a result, the rise of California was a calamity for the native inhabitants. Several scholars and Native American activists, including Benjamin Madley and Ed Castillo, have described the actions of the California government as a genocide.

The name California is surmised by some writers to have derived from the fictional paradise peopled by Black Amazons and ruled by Queen Calafia,[25][26] who fought alongside Muslims and whose name was chosen to echo the title of a Muslim leader, the Caliph, fictionally implying that California was the Caliphate.[27]

 The story of Calafia is recorded in a 1510 work The Adventures of Esplandián, written as a sequel to Amadis de Gaula by Spanish adventure writer Garci Rodríguez de Montalvo.[28][29][30] The kingdom of Queen Calafia, according to Montalvo, was said to be a remote land

 inhabited by griffins and other strange beasts, and rich in gold.

'Know ye that at the right hand of the Indies there is an island called California, very close to that part of the Terrestrial Paradise, which was inhabited by black women without a single man among them, and they lived in the manner of Amazons.

They were robust of body with strong passionate hearts and great virtue. The island itself is one of the wildest in the world on account of the bold and craggy rocks.'

— Chapter CLVII of The Adventures of Esplandián[31]

"More than nine billion barrels of oil have been produced in the Los Angeles area. There are still more than 30,000 active wells pumping around 230 million barrels of oil a year,

When struggling prospector Edward L. Doheny and his mining partner Charles A. Canfield decided to dig a well in 1892, they wisely chose a site with “tar seeps” – where natural asphalt bubbled to the surface.

Local lore says Doheny was downtown when he noticed a cart with a black substance on its wheels. He asked the driver where he had come from.

On April 20, 1892, they struck oil near present-day Dodger Stadium – and revealed the Los Angeles City oil field, which still produces tar seeps, notably at the La Brea “tar pits.”

uber portland 2014, bloggod prepped the home for 8 months

 In 2014-2015, Uber used the services of David Plouffe,[167]

An Uber executive is said to have advocated hiring investigators to "dig up dirt" on journalists who criticize them.[265] Portland, Oregon's transportation commissioner called Uber management "a bunch of thugs".[266]

Uber developed an internal tool called Greyball which uses data collected from the Uber app and by other means to avoid giving rides to certain individuals. The tool was used starting in 2014. By showing "ghost cars" driven by fake drivers to the targeted individuals in the Uber app, and by giving real drivers a means to cancel rides requested by those individuals, Uber can avoid operations by known law enforcement officers in areas where its service is illegal.

 An investigative report by The New York Times published on March 3, 2017, described Uber's use of Greyball in 2014 to evade city code enforcement officials in Portland, Oregon, Australia, South Korea, and China.

Kalanick received a letter, dated November 19, 2014, from U.S. Senator Al Franken, Chairman of the United States Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Privacy, Technology and the Law, over user privacy. In addition to a list of 10 questions, Franken stated that the company had a "troubling disregard for customer privacy" and that he was "especially troubled because there appears to be evidence of practices inconsistent with the policy [Uber spokesperson] Ms. Hourajian articulated" and that "it appears that on prior occasions your company [Uber] has condoned use of customers' data for questionable purposes."

Franken concluded his letter by asking for a response by December 15, 2014


Another data breach was revealed in November 2017. Occurring in 2016, this breach disclosed personal information on about 600,000 drivers (including license information); and names, email addresses, and phone numbers for 57 million customers. Uber paid a $100,000 ransom to the hackers on the promise they would delete the stolen data.
______________

"This kind of behavior is underhanded and, if deemed illegal, should not go unpunished. Portland's Bureau of Transportation is scouring Uber data to see whether the company has used the software, called Greyball, since 2014. 

That's when Erich England, a city code inspector, unsuccessfully tried to hail an Uber car using Uber's app during the weeks the company was operating without the city's approval.:


Mark Weiner, a former political consultant to both Hales and Saltzman, was a paid lobbyist for Uber and, from the dining room of his Eastmoreland home in 2014, aided in brokering Uber's hurry-up deal with the city. 

That is not to suggest Saltzman would soft-glove any review of potentially unethical or government-thwarting behavior by Uber. But it is to say that any probe of Uber's practices must measure Uber's data collection and use against consumer fraud laws or unlawful interference with Portland's regulatory authority.


City Commissioner Nick Fish, along with Commissioner Amanda Fritz, had voted against allowing Uber to operate in Portland. In an interview last week with The Oregonian/OregonLive Editorial Board, Fish repeatedly used the term "brazen" to characterize Uber's behavior. And he told Njus, following the Times' report: "This is not just bad behavior. This is an attack on our ability as a local community to enforce community standards."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palantir_Technologies

In 2010 Hunton & Williams LLP allegedly asked Berico Technologies, Palantir, and HBGary Federal to draft a response plan to “the WikiLeaks Threat.” In early 2011 Anonymous publicly released HBGary-internal documents, including the plan.

The plan proposed Palantir software would “serve as the foundation for all the data collection, integration, analysis, and production efforts.”[46] The plan also included slides, allegedly authored by HBGary CEO Aaron Barr, which suggested “[spreading] disinformation” and “disrupting” Glenn Greenwald’s support for WikiLeaks.

__________

On September 26, 2016, the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs of the U.S. Department of Labor filed a lawsuit against Palantir alleging that the company discriminated against Asian job applicants on the basis of their race.[48]

According to the lawsuit, the company "routinely eliminated" Asian applicants during the hiring process, even when they were "as qualified as white applicants" for the same jobs.[49] Palantir settled the suit in April 2017 for $1.7 million while not admitting wrongdoing

http://www.kansascity.com/entertainment/ent-columns-blogs/back-to-rockville/article7776264.html

"“He had a couple of rules, and one of them was less is more,” Locke said. “If you have just as much space in a song as there is music, all the dynamics will be so much bigger. It’s the truth. So we kept it on the rhythm and blues side with plenty of punk in there and lots of space.”

He started the Disciples in 1986 with Byrom, Dave Olds and Paul Estapar, and the band’s furious live shows almost instantly became legend. "

"By late 1993, Locke had started Tenderloin with former members of the Lawrence band the Homestead Grays. But after Tenderloin’s debut, “Let It Leak,” recorded with producer Ed Rose, was picked up by Qwest Records (Quincy Jones’ imprimatur on Warner Bros. records), the other members of Tenderloin quit."

the trail of money sloppery slippy
over squirrels working to gather minimum wage Nuts
for slum lord's denture pie
of orphan guts held together with his white male jerk collection
of Playboys from an era of segregation of which
his pride did flourish,
rancid on the sills of peeped tenants,
over floor joists rotting from his terminal sap of infamy
that the City
collects in their bucket of phone calls wrapped in favors
only slick yuppies tolerate, as per
a club of landowning derelicts too greedy to breathe
without poisoning the entire region
for their pleasure and sadist wont
jingling keys
locks reject out of sheer habit, like a crow barfing up a dead vulture's
eyes that saw too many seeds
working in the pit
unable to hear anything but the bounce of a check off the cosmos
his mother warmed in the oven
and said get in little come, your new heat is here
new crap hearted worm slum lord give thanks
only a barn will splinter less gracefully teetering over the notes
a rancid man leases to fellow humans,
pretending relationships are his forte as he disappears,
meat on a plate for cops of Time

did lightning source himself from sheer air
or her whispered moans thundering
i ask the thor burn running counter quantum wise
to greet many suns in varied foliage
making mulch of aspen cottonwood oak and yew
and lyre strings silver best worn for shoelaces
keeping herme's wings from overheating
there in the volcano's grape bower of Life
with tornados of ice off her distant retreat into the future
shimmering in orgasms
bearing children stronger hung than basic math
against velvet pleases
and acres of whale expanse dotted with memories

henbane aeon swirl

born on boughs covering stone harmony hearths
wodan again grins
shakes silver reindeer rattle
cattle mill about stout doors
baby has no use for
as  per powerful wont godan giveth thrice
willful in measure to cub size
weaned on mead and teethed on henbane spoons oak
strangling wyrm oz was easy pleased
throwing new scales to sky
his placenta ygdrasill three roots
world tree limbs four stags forage
no den no zen woe then zeus when
eagle-tested one
won another heart riven where thunder fears
unborn strewn for raven mockery assimilation
wolf swallowed good son goddown
born deep browed
chisled soul stone seer
cutting time for hearth food

Aeon dust swirling
in grey gazes bent

ice boom from space

"3200 Phaethon (/ˈfeɪ.əθɒn/ FAY-ə-thon, sometimes incorrectly spelled Phaeton), provisional designation 1983 TB, is an Apollo asteroid with an unusual orbit that brings it closer to the Sun than any other named asteroid (though there are several unnamed asteroids, including three numbered ones, with smaller perihelia, e.g. (137924) 2000 BD19).[2]

 For this reason, it was named after the Greek myth of Phaëton, son of the sun god Helios.

It is 5.1 ± 0.2 km (3.17 ± 0.12 mi) in mean diameter.

Phaethon is classified as a potentially hazardous asteroid (PHA)

Shortly after its discovery, Fred Whipple observed that the "orbital elements of 1983 TB shown on IAUC 3879 are virtually coincident with the mean orbital elements of 19 Geminid meteors photographed with the super-Schmidt meteor cameras".

In other words, Phaethon is the long-sought parent body of the Geminids meteor shower of mid-December."

Asked if there was any age limit in who he might go after, Trump said,

“No, I have no age — I mean, I have age limit. I don’t want to be like Congressman Foley, with, you know, 12-year-olds.”

"In addition to the Petropiar joint venture with Chevron, PDVSA has this year taken oil for its domestic refineries from its Petrocedeno project with Total SA (TOTF.PA) and Statoil (STL.OL)."

"Ruffin Companies' web site states that the company owns 61 convenience stores leased to Total and operated by Diamond Shamrock over a three-state area.

Ruffin is a longtime friend and business partner of Donald Trump, who was the best man at Ruffin's wedding in 2008.[12]

 According to Trump, Ruffin accompanied him to Russia in 2013 during the former's ownership of the Miss Universe pageant [13].

 In 2015, Trump also mentioned Ruffin as a person that he would send as an envoy to China if elected president; Ruffin said later that the remark was a joke.[12] Ruffin loaned Trump his personal 737 BBJ jet to fly to Mexico City to meet with Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto on August 31, 2016.

"In the case of the Citgo arrests, Saab said his office had uncovered a $4 billion planned deal with foreign firms that would have seen Citgo "unfairly" indebt itself and even be offered as guarantee for the loan."

____________

Citgo was founded as an American company more than 100 years ago but has operated as a PDVSA subsidiary for three decades. The company employs about 4,000 worker and contractors in the United States, including more than 800 in Houston. Citgo has about 160 branded gas stations in the Houston area, and about 5,500 stations nationwide. Citgo also owns oil refineries in Corpus Christi; Lake Charles, La.; and Illinois.


Saab accused the men of acting as spies for North American interests in exchange for a few dollars.

"Of the additional reimbursements, it appears that $25,000 relates to a payment that the Trump Foundation made in 2013 to a Florida political committee called “And Justice For All.” The committee supported state Attorney General Pam Bondi (R).

Charities are not allowed to give to political committees.

After The Post reported the gift to Bondi’s group last year, Trump repaid the money and paid a $2,500 penalty tax to the IRS."

"Astrologers believe Geminis have a volatile temperament,
 that their strength however is their versatility,
 and that their versatility allows them to learn a little about everything
 and develop skills in many areas. Geminis are considered
 to hold mysteriously unique artistic and creative abilities
unlike other signs. Often considered to be very intelligent
individuals, they have a wide appreciation for the arts, philosophy,
 history and the natural sciences.

 They do not like boring people

 or routine procedures and therefore struggle
 to deal with authoritative figures. They are enlightened to talk
 about any subject which they find interesting and where they can
 stimulate their naturally intellectual personalities. Geminis are noted
 to be drastic and hasty yet very responsible and disciplined.
They are considered to be the most misunderstood of all signs

due to their dual personality expressed by the twins of their sign.
Because of this, don't be surprised to often find Geminis
 in different moods and therefore mood swings can occur
 often for Geminis because of their high degree of mental processing
and thinking. This makes them quite philosophical people.
Geminis are sensitive as well but use their high intelligence

 to counter anything that upsets them"
