The proper lens to understand Trump has never been legal or political, but psychiatric. Psychologist John Gartner describes Trump's diagnosis - malignant narcissistic personality disorder - and its dangerous symptoms.

BTW - we nailed this diagnosis in 2017 - www.streetroots.org/news/2017/10...

Viewing - MAN IN THE MIDDLE, made in 1964 by future Bond style-maker Guy Hamilton, a well-filmed military court drama with stiff and boring Robert Mitchum in front but Trevor Howard, his face full of gestures, steals the film in three scenes, the last a short pithy condemnation; an actor's actor.

Stunning documentary THE PERFECT NEIGHBOR, just released by Geeta Gandbhir, is the end-all argument for mobile crisis services with mediation with follow-up built-in to the design. Police did nothing wrong, but they did not have the right tools.

Rock Against Racism was formed in response to Eric Clapton's support for racist UK pol Enoch Powell and the fascist National Front.

Tonite's view - WHITE RIOT, 2019 by Rubika Shah documents how the kids and punks pushed fascists and racists out of UK politics for a generation.

Wear a whistle.

Tonight - Fabulous Baron Munchausen, 1961 by Karel Zeman, a Czech light romantic fantasy combining actors and animation to tell of either the greatest liar - or the greatest adventurer of all time. An homage to Méliès's version from 1911.

Tonight - BIRDMAN OF ALCATRAZ, made in 1964 by a perfect match of John Frankenheimer & magnetic Burt Lancaster. A romanticized telling of the life of Robert Stroud, it was released at the pinnacle of American filmmaking and social idealism. A moment where we were brave enough to consider anything.

As of 9:14 PM PT 10/14/2025 Oriana Korol is still in the Clark County jail with no charges and no bail.
October 15, 2025 at 4:16 AM
Tonight - HIROSHIMA, 1953 by Hideo Sekigawa. Controversial, searing, a docudrama using hibakusha actors to show rather than tell of the suffering of 140,000 humans killed by an arrogant emperor and a cruel president on the the other side of the world.

Still nothing burned, nothing ravaged, but excellent carmel corn if you know where to find it.

Parallel to the Immergut ruling, the US DOJ Civil Rights Division seeks to mis-direct and weaponize the settlement of US DOJ v City of Portland (about use of force against people with mental illness).

Here's the city's boss response - www.mentalhealthalliance.org/wp-content/u...

Immergut wraps up her TRO w/ Madison, & a path to tyranny.

www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

"A standing military force, with an overgrown Executive will not long be safe companions to liberty. The means of defence against foreign danger, have been always the instruments of tyranny at home."

Here's the letter the Mental Health Alliance received today from US DOJ CRD accusing Portland police of "viewpoint discrimination."

Dhillon is trying to leverage the decade-old settlement agreement (which is about use of force against people with mental illness) for her political masters.
