RE: Yankton Incident Investigation
PAGES, INCLUDING COVER: 37
NOTES:
Jay-
Have a look at what just turned up here in Stull. The whole thing's going back to survey HQ, of course, but I kind of think some of this is more relevant to the Yankton investigation than anything else. How'd a guy like this get past the EPA hiring process, anyway?

Never in my life did I think I'd say this, but today I'm glad for Federal prison service guidelines regarding religious materials. The books got through after all. I had been worried about that. I don't know how much time I'm going to have to myself in the next few months but I certainly don't intend to spend any of it idle.
Today's accomplishments: said nothing when that smug son of a bitch from Monsanto bragged about how easy it was to outsmart the EPA.
Today's failures: spent too much time picturing how long he'd last on Level D, lost my crack at some isolated library time.
Improvements to be made: Plan, don't fantasize. Imagination doesn't change things. Plotting does.
November 14, 2006
Oh, you've got to be kidding me. Astral projection? Past lives? All right, I suppose I have to swallow that kind of utter bilge if I'm going to learn how to use this stuff properly, but this feels like the kind of nonsense that only hippies and people from California believe.
Today's accomplishments: survived five minutes of isometric exercises to improve endurance without having to go into the gym with the violent offenders.
Today's failures: did not survive ten.
Improvements to be made: concentrate on how much it's going to be worth it when I beat those four idiots at their own blasted games.

I'm supposed to summon a WHAT?
November 24, 2006
This is bilge. I need to place a new order the next time my lawyer asks me what I need from the outside world. Preferably something that doesn't involve discovering my inner animal spirit or summoning something that a demented maniac wrote about in cheap, badly edited science fiction magazines as part of my self-defensive process. Something sensible, if such a thing can be said to exist in this particular field.
Today's accomplishments: Have acquired enough of a reputation to get other inmates out of my way in the exercise yard by just looking at them and asking Very Nicely.
Today's failures: Overheard one of the others talking about what supposedly happened in New York City this past Halloween and started ranting at him. As much as I want to see those bastards humiliated in public I can't afford to tip my hand right now.
Improvements to be made: Get newspaper articles from New York City newspapers as of November 1st. Read them repeatedly until eyelid no longer twitches. (This may take a very long time.)

"One must find out for oneself, and make sure beyond doubt, "who" one is, "what" one is, "why" one is...Being thus conscious of the proper course to pursue, the next thing is to understand the conditions necessary to following it out. After that, one must eliminate from oneself every element alien or hostile to success, and develop those parts of oneself which are specially needed to control the aforesaid conditions."
I think I can deal with this Thelema stuff. I'm going to need more books like this.
