Wil called this last week one night. He said the parole board denied his parole. He said the woman who had interviewed him voted Yes but the other two on the board -- a woman named Marian (?) Sanford and some guy named Barrios voted No. Wil said that Marian (?) Sanford voted Yes the last time. He doesn't understand why she voted No.

Wil said something about some website www.capps-mi.org. And how they are doing something to appeal the law in reference to parole and that those prisoners who have a high probability score for parole and no tickets like Wil whose score he says is a plus seven. I have no earthly idea what all that means but he says some woman at that website, Deana Anderson, is involved in trying to get this through the Michigan legislature. He wants me to contact her about his case.

He is currently temporarily at Saginaw while he has his operation to repair his stomach and esophagus which are torn. Isn't it funny that some in the Mass Media in Michigan were ranting and raving about the 'poor treatment' some female prisoners are getting and something better be done about it or else. But there is Wil, having had a congestive heart condition, chained to a hospital bed, passing the amount of 4 big bags of blood through both ends of his body, having to use a portable toilet next to the hospital bed -- they wouldn't even allow him supervised visits to the bathroom. And after that I'm supposed to be 'concerned' about the 'poor treatment' some female prisoners in Michigan supposedly get. Frankly I could give the glutius maximus of a Rattus norvegicus ;-)

Anyway, Wil doesn't know how long he is going to be at Saginaw. They don't let him know that 'for security reasons' (what a joke their system is that they take themselves so 'seriously' -- lol -- security reasons! -- lol). So he won't be able to receive any cards, letters, funds, etc until he gets back to the other place or unless they decide to shuffle him around again to avoid him getting any assistance. I am almost convinced THAT IS the reason they keep moving him. So you might hold off on sending anything until he gets back 'home'. He'll probably call me and let me know when that happens and I'll post it here.

At any rate, Wil did tell me it's calmer and a little nicer where he is now. So maybe we can hope that he gets to stay there a little longer. Whatever consolation that is considering his circumstance. Isn't it ironic that he has to keep his nose clean and be a good little boy to please two women who decide his fate and he has done nothing wrong to begin with and it was in fact an evil woman who put him where he is now. That is just the biggest joke to me especially when I consistently hear in the mass media how powerless women are and how it is still a male-dominated system. Give me a large break, ladies! lol They hold all the cards and they damn well know it and love to rub our noses in it is the real truth. lol

Earlier when he had his parole examination via long distance with that woman in Lansing (forgot her name but he told me) he requested that I request a copy of that for him. He is not allowed to request it himself. So he told me the wording of what to say. So I did that -- a lot of legal gobbledy gook that doesn't mean anything to me and apparently doesn't really mean anything at all anyway. They denied my request and one of the reasons they gave was -- get this (lol) -- because it might jeopardize Wil's right to a fair trial! Is that the biggest joke you ever heard or what?! The State of Michigan wouldn't know what a fair trial was for Wil if one bit them on their collective arses. lol

Anyway, he wants me to try again to get a copy. I saved the letter in the word processor so I just have to reprint it and send it again. I don't think it's going to have any different result than my first attempt. They're going to send that stupid yellow sheet with all of their 'reasons' for denying the request. But I'll do it -- if it makes him happy. I think the primary thing is to try and keep his spirits high and positive at this time. He almost died. They denied his parole. It's Christmas and his family has basically abandoned him. He's in a very bad position and he needs to keep his health up as much as possible.

He was in basic training during the Vietnam War. He got sick and got discharged before he could complete his training or be sent to Vietnam. In a way it's a good thing. It would be a total waste (in retrospect) for him to have gone to fight, kill and possibly die over there in the guise of supporting, protecting and defending a system now obviously controlled by selfish, arrogant women whose primary gripe about the Vietnam War was that THEY were not also allowed to sit on the draft board (like men) to collect the blood money to send young men off to die in Southeast Asia. Now THAT would have been a shame for him to have been one of those blood sacrifices for female dominance. lol

Wil told me about his experience at Lackland and about what happened. How the recruits were used to help look for some officer's granddaughter and her friend. How the recruits were sent out into the woods and other places, looking under objects as if they were looking for bodies of some kind. In the middle of the night out there doing that when they were supposed to be in training. According to what Wil said, the military authorities violated their own regs by taking recruits during war time away from their basic training for some officer's private use. He collapsed afterward and woke up in the hospital with some kind of respiratory infection. He was given a medical discharge and that was the end of his military career. Seems odd to me that once he was well that they didn't just send him back to his unit. He said other guys got sick too but he didn't keep in contact with them. When he told me the story it sounded very much like what Larry Warren described in the book, "Left at East Gate" but Wil thinks he might have come in contact with some kind of toxic substance (like Agent Orange) in one of the dumps that they searched in while looking for those two little girls.

As it turns out, the little girls weren't even far from their home. There was an empty house in base housing. The occupants were away on vacation. They got into the house and locked themselves in a closet. Someone suggested searching in the neighborhood and they found them in that closet -- safe and sound. Sending all those guys out to search all over in ammo dumps and under objects like fallen logs and traipsing around in the woods -- for nothing. For two stupid little rich girls who obviously weren't taught respect for other people's property and went inside someone else's home and got in their personal closet and accidentally locked themselves inside. Tax payers money and those guys' time spent for some officer's private conceipt.

But anyway Wil thinks some of his situation has to do with that incident. That he would talk about what happened and it would open a can of worms about it. I really don't think so unless it was more than just some toxic substance that he was dealing with. At any rate, I haven't said anything about it -- since it is rather controversial. But after they've denied his parole (he has what one more time or was this the last time?) and will max him out in what? 2010? I figured -- screw them. They've screwed his chances for about the last time. Might as well let it out -- it might even be something very innocuous.

But they won't give him a ribbon that he says he is entitled to because they won't release his medical record about it. They only tell him that it was some kind of respiratory infection and that's about it. They won't say what caused it or how that could have happened. So to him it isn't right that they are denying him the right to know what happened to him and denying him his ribbon because of the secrecy around the incident. Which, I would have to admit, if it was no big deal, then why refuse to release the information to him about it? Then again this is the US government we're talking about and we know what idiots they are! lol I spent 3 years at NSA. I DEFINITELY know what idiots they are! lol

Anyway that's the latest from Wil. From Murfreesboro, TN -- Y'all have a Merry Yule ;-)
