                   Dr. Sydney Croft - Psychologist

 

The above discussion took place at the DOJ building in New Washington, DF, on 3 November.  Mooney opened by reading a statement from Superintendent Buhlesson, authorizing discussion in response to that meeting held on 9 August, (see Transcript 28, copy attached) 6.  It was the Superintendent's conclusion that the private sector must not be invited back until jurisdictional disputes between various governmental bodies are settled.  He described meeting with President Bob, back on the evening of February 3rd, at which time, the President was watching an pre-k'ball rerun of "The F.B.I." in the private screening room of the Black House and reminiscing about an occasion in which he played a terrorist on "Threat Matrix".  "The television policemen always get their man," the President declared.  "I want them in on this job."

 

Agent Norlin thanked the President, in absentia, and described the options and limitations of the EABI commitment, recommending that the task force focus on the so-called white areas of outright consumer fraud and leave the matter of the government slush funds for so-called "black operations... including, but not limited to... remote subsidies of provocateur lifestyle-criminality subcultures... open to future discussions before decision (not to be made without at least token input from Budget).

 

He stated that he had conferred with Irene Villalobos, whose recommendation is a high-visibility attack with enough arrests to create an ambience of fear and vicarious anticipation, coinciding with critical local legislative elections taking place on Tuesday.

 

Dr. Croft agreed on this strategy as most effective from the short-term political perspective.  "Most people don't study the issues," she stated.  "They see politics as a sort of fog - in which fraud, money, testing and violence are nebulously gathered into a package that can be aimed in the proper direction by our friends on the Hill, and made to produce rain."  She had suggested the appearance of and capture of another Mr. Big - a foreigner, preferably, wickedly photogenic, possibly (given the anticipated difficulties with enforcing the Family Defense Act) a woman... "a dragon-lady sort, if you know what I mean?  That would facilitate a tie-in to the plague…"

 

Uberkommissioner Gauss, understandably, disagreed with the assimilation of the foreign menace into the fraudulent specimen trade.  He observed that six of the last eight publicized narcotics kingpins have been various Americans, and suggested that the European Community might respond to another xenophobic fiction by slackening their own efforts in the War on Substance.  He implied retaliation might take the form of an increasing discovery and detention of American nationals suspected of substance abuse, to which Norlin replied, "...and what's wrong with that?"

 

Gauss was also particularly critical of Dr. Ozawa's handling of the Papal incident in May, in which Pope Jerzy's specimen was hijacked outside of Roanoke en route to the ACDC (which incident was undertaken by foreign criminals on behalf of a corporate consortium and resulted in summary excommunication of the entire Catholic population of EastAmerica).  Criticizing a lack of access granted Interpol in cross-border specimen trading (and a decision, by New Washington, to retain a 50% "commission" when the Papal sample was recovered and returned to the Vatican States), the Uberkommissioner warned that further such incidents could negatively impact international cooperation in the war on substance abuse.

 

Dr. Ozawa assured Gauss that the EastAmerican Secret Service, not ACDC, was at fault for the hijacking and subsequent controversy.  He advised that his facility has remained tamper-proof, inasmuch as specimens would be worthless without provenances supplied... for a fee... by one of perhaps twenty worldwide authorizing bodies (in which fraternity, ACDC remains a member in good standing).  This statement was questioned by Mooney, with reference made to Dr. Vickers' renegade experiments with nuclear chromatography at Stanford Cyclotron in WestAmerica and the ongoing [expletive deleted - Blinky ] at the Household Research Institute in Jatesland.  Ozawa responded that his was the majority opinion that Stanford had not recovered its pre-k'ball reputation, and that Vickers was a crank, if not a crook.  He assured Gauss that the FexMarket, the specimen community and the law enforcement community remained committed to the Drug Wars, and that President Bob had taken possession of the Papal specimen in the interests of EastAmerica, and not for his own financial gain.  (As to HRI, he simply threw up his hands and replied "Barataria!")

 

Adrienne Callinan suggested that, following the line of least resistance, a massive dragnet of tobacco users from the Lorillard and Cubanito databanks be undertaken.  She further advised that a contingent of actors, provocateurs and plants be seeded to advocate resistance, then provide grist for show trials - further suggesting a meeting be held between herself, Dr. Croft and Irene Villalobos to formulate a strategy for publicizing this initiative.

 

Agent Norlin agreed, on the condition that the EastAmerica Bureau of Investigation be the co-ordinating agency... as per the policies of President Bob... and that Miss Callinan's place be taken by Jason Interberg or a male replacement from Justice to avoid the appearance of conflict with the FDA and to assure continuity upon removal of women from all law-enforcement professions, as mandated by January 1st, 2025.

 

With no further discussion, nor opposition, this recommendation was approved, and forwarded to the appropriate channels for execution.

                             PARTICIPANTS:

 

Dan Buhlesson - Homeland Security, Deputy Staff Superintendent

James Ditmar - Congressman, 8th District, West Carolina

"Vinnie" - HS technician (heard over loudspeaker)

 

 

DB: ...we recording?  (tapping noise)  This is Dan Buhlesson of Homeland Security, and I am debriefing Congressman Jimmy Ditmar, Democrat from West Carolina, Chairman of the joint House-Senate Committee on Cloture, regarding Motion 5194-V made yesterday, Thursday 13 November.  Congressman, would you identify yourself...

 

 JD:  (coughing)  James Gilooly Ditmar, sir.

 

 DB: Alright, Jimmy, would you begin with a brief personal background material.

 

JD: I... uh... yes, sir.  I joined the National Security Agency of what was then the United States in April, 2009 and, after service during and following the Cannonball Earthquake, participated in operations that, I believe, remain classified... you can check the National Archives on that.  With the breakup and cessation of troubles, I was appointed to the Reform Congress of EastAmerica in April, 2022, and elected to a full term eight months later.  My district, it runs from Asheville south to Greenville, did not suffer as much earthquake damage as did the western states of EastAmerica and eastern states of WestAmerica, nor was it impacted by the flooding that covered much of what is now East Carolina, but we're plagued by a stubborn lifestyle criminal subculture.  This would include former tobacco industry workers, some of whom went underground to join with the marijuana growers, methamphetamine and synthetic opiod-smugglers and neo-moonshiners.  Many learned their criminal trade from grandparents or even great-grandparents who practiced in the 20th century, or earlier.  As a devout Jatesian, I have made the fight against substance-abuse a top priority, and now sit on the House Rules, Defense and Appropriations Committees in addition to my duties at Cloture.

 

DB: OK, Jimmy... to your knowledge, are there other Congresspeople who are current or former operatives for any agency involved with national security?

 

JD: Well, if there are, I hope that would be classified (laughter).  On the other hand, I can think of at least a dozen who came over from what was left of the NSA and CIA... that is combined... besides those from what then was the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the uniformed services or who came out of state or local law enforcement.  Most were either appointed in 2018 or during the purges of 2021; there is a sort of tendency to trust the police and military in difficult times...

 

 DB: Understandably.  We are speaking of both houses of Congress...

 

JD: On the EastAmerican side... I suspect there was much of the same going on in West America, CanAmerica and Barataria.  Perhaps less so up in CanAmerica...

 

DB: Well, that's helpful, Jimmy.  Now I want you... in your own words... to describe Senator Dennehy's actions in the Senate Judiciary Committee last session...

 

JD: He's a [ expletive deleted - Blinky ]… pardon the French... of course, you realize I did not attend all of the hearings, only a few... I had business of my own to transact, other legislation.  Most of the particulars... what went on behind the scenes, I mean... I heard from others...

 

 DB: Trustworthy others?

 

JD: To a degree.  Dennehy was on the floor for thirteen days, sir... he started with all that pro-drug, civil liberties and Constitution fex... someone reminded him that the old United States didn't exist anymore, but he just rambled on.  And then wallowed into this sort of history... this weird stuff I... you know...

 

 DB: It's alright, you can tell me...

 

JD: Well, it was all about piss, and pissing, sir, very technical.  There was a lot of scientific stuff... old fex from before the k'ball, some tall tales and other... filthy...

 

 DB: Give me an example...

 

 JD:  Well, he was reading this... he had notes from what looked like a medical journal...

 

- CONFIDENTIAL (2:14 min.) CLASSIFIED BY SECURITY - BLINKY

 

 DB: That's fine.  Now, Jimmy, do you recognize this document?

 

 JD:  It's a Congressional transcript, sure!

 

DB: And this article in the New Washington Post?  Are they identical... the long one, Jimmy, it says "Text of Senator Dennehy's Address"?

 

 JD:  I think so, without reading all of it...

 

 DB: Can you identify these comments?

 

JD: Sure can.  He'd been talking on and on about piss for three days running, then he sorta went dry, so to speak... heh heh... and I say Jimmy this is it, he can't go on, we win.  And then he pulls this big ol' book out of his briefcase...

 

DB: Alright.  I direct you, now, to the first paragraph of the article.  The text.  Can you read it back to me?

 

 JD:  Sure can.  He'd... I have...

 

- CONFIDENTIAL (57 sec.) CLASSIFIED BY SECURITY - BLINKY        

 

…Control.  Then the AAA Marble and Granite Contractor.  They make tombstones, I believe.  And you know the consequences of drug-addicted gravestone cutters...

 

 DB: That will be enough.  And this continued...

 

 JD:  Ten days, sir.  Ten working days... thirteen calendar days...

 

DB: Now, Jimmy, is it your opinion that Senator Dennehy continued his filibuster over thirteen days, by resorting to illegal substances...

 

JD: Well, everybody's seen that little flask of what it is he puts into his coffee... or did, up until Lattimer took effect, he's been sly this last month.  And now that the Surgeon General is working with Ames, Gregg and Lattimer to get coffee on the list of illegal substances, well... I reckon Dennehy will be up a creek.  They tested 'em during the filibuster... twice, as Joe Foreman recalls, tested 'em all, but Dennehy didn't ring up positive on anything except those vitamin shots the Capitol doctors give us down in the sub-basement, and the kebbin' government would shut down without those.  Now there are pills, you know, the diabetics I think... they make you pee, my grandmother used to take them before she passed away.  So it is possible... and I am not a medical doctor... that there exist pills that would be anti-diabetic so you could, you know, hold it in.  Then again, he might just have been using a bottle under the desk; I've known judges back home who would do that...

 

 DB: And how did the Subcommittee take this?

 

JD: Not too well.  Oh, there was a little smiling on the first day, but that was done might quickly.  They were staring at him for a few hours, and some were sleeping.  Senator Connors, I remember, most of the time... and, after a while, there was a lot of coming and going with radios crackling.  Most of the press left too, after the third day.

 

 DB: And were there motions to close debate?

 

JD: Yes, sir!  Five.  On the 26th, three on the 27th, and the last on November 8th.  All failed the two-thirds rule, of course, one vote every time.  Same ol' fex.

 

 DB: What happened on the 27th?

 

JD: Oh, 'bout noon, this fellow in a suit comes in and gives this envelope to Orelton - they don't exchange words, Senator Joe Foreman says.  Orelton comes back from lunch looking like fex warmed over, so Foreman figured he might've changed, so he brings up the first motion for cloture.  Orelton votes no, but looks bad, so he tried again, an hour later.  'Bout fifteen minutes before closin' time, he goes out to the little boy's room and doesn't come back, so Joe calls for another vote, but Dennehy's on the radio and they practically carry Orelton back in, couple of kebbin' drug-addict Capitol police, if you ask me.  Soon as the session ends, next Friday... that would be the 10th... Orelton goes back down to St. Augustine, puts a shotgun in his mouth and eats lead.  Governor appoints Ken Smaller over the weekend and his first vote on the day we get back Monday is to cut off the debate. Motion 5194-V, passes six - two.  Dennehy just sits there, looking hotter than a jack o'lantern.  Next day, Richie introduces those impeachment papers on him 'n the other keb... meanwhile Lattimer's on its way to approval, signature and passage.

 

 DB: Congressman, do you think Senator Dennehy abused his office?

 

  JD: What?  Oh... sure!  Sure, I do!  Substantially!  There is no question that libertinous conduct such as his…          not only substance abuse but sexual perversion, the inadequate disciplining of women and children and the presence of so many… you know… in positions of authority – well, God just threw his hands up and said,    “Alright, if that’s how my people choose to behave, they’ve got to be taught a lesson.”

 

 DB: And you will vote for impeachment?

 

  JD: Hell yeah!

 

DB: Thank you Jimmy, for a job well done.  Of course, this meeting is to be kept confidential.  We may require you to testify...

 

JD: You're gonna put that keb in jail?  I'd go along with that... just tell me what you want to say...

 

 DB: Uh, that's great, thank you... Vinnie, can you run the tape back and cut out that last?

 

   V:  (as over loudspeaker from another room)  Sure thing, Super...      

 

  JD: ...and when we need you, Congressman, someone from Homeland might...
