Intellectual Property Law and the

1986

London Tube Card

Read this like a diary entry:  December 28, 1985.  I met the BUNAC deadline.  I left Atlanta last night and I have arrived in London today in the same year that I have graduated college, so the $72 BUNAC work visa has been activated by the Home Office.   I will spend a good bit more time here than I did in Greece this past summer.  Like with Greece last June, the terror network is making news as I have arrive in Europe again this year.  Yesterday, both Rome and Vienna airports were attacked.  Combined, more than 15 dead, and more than 100 injured.  London seems OK.  I have to start looking for a flat, and a job tomorrow.  I am at a BUNAC recommended hotel right now, paying only 17 quid/ nite.  Our house lady told us that before they were famous, she operated the hotel that the Beatles stayed at every time they had a gig in London.  Met several people here.  We're planning to go to Trafalgar Square on New Year's Eve to see MADNESS in concert.  That's more fun than watching Ben Kingsley as Ghandi on the BBC.  Among my first purchases is the London Transport Card (the Tube Pass).  I have to buy a paper pass card weekly to keep with this tube card.   

Above:  London permit stamp of December 28, 1985.  Permit was extended in March.  According to wiki, December 28, 1985 is also the day that Sly Fox entered the Billboard chart with their new release that month titled Let's Go All the Way.  

"...cartoon capers, happen in reality..." - lyric from Sly Fox's hit Let's Go All the Way.

I was hoping that I would find a job in London and earn enough funds to backpack across Europe when my work visa expired.  I did.  The Let's Go Europe book here is nearly identical to the 1986 edition I carried across 15 countries in July, Aug., Sept '86.  Let's Go all the Way (12/1985) video features two small boys with a shopping cart full of weapons and war planes.  This scene in the video reminded me of my shopping experience in East Germany in July 1986 after going through Checkpoint Charlie.  Shopping carts from pre-war Europe, dingy floors, floor fridges that were caked with ice (since they were not frost free), and bottles of room temp milk that had to be shaken before consumed.  It's December 28, 1985 when Sly Fox reaches the Billboard charts, and it's also the same day that I purchased the London Tube pass you see below.  "...cartoon capers, happen in reality..."  

All of that happened that day, December 28, 1985.  So, not to give all of the plots away...  it's gonna happen again on my very last full day in Europe, which was 9-5-1986.  You can get to that tab later by clicking on the "PAA73" icon at the bottom of my HOME page.  Anyway, with my extensive travel experience today, I knoe to tell you that the first thing to do when you're new in the foreign city is to check the WORD SEARCH puzzles in their local paper, and see if they think of you as a 'player.'  The t-shirt above from the KENLO clothing line helps you assess the dynamics of where we go with that subject.  LOL.  Also, read a newspaper each day to see what's up.  For example, is the face of an old professor, a relative, a neighbor, etc.,  from back home published in the Herald?  Do the anagrams of the subjects that the newspaper article is about.  If the mixed terrier named Fido is up for adoption in the city's newspaper, and OMG, you use to own a dog named Fido; that's too coincidental, and you are probably considered a player.  The third task is to see if a number you've been assigned from somewhere at your new location will provide you a clue to your position in the new city, but that takes a good bit of research, and you'll probably have to wait until you're back home.  This tab starts there, and is about doing your homework on Intellectual Property Law:   The tube pass number you see on the card above is "7239."  And how do you use that number?  You only use the number if there is a date version associated with it, then you visit the old stories and the old photographs in newspaper microfiche archives at a library.  Here is how it works:  The American date version of the tube pass number here is July 2, 1939.  The European date version of the same number is February 7, 1939.  You can also check the number backwards, which is more work but, fair play.   In the microfiche, you review the pages of "the day of," "the day before," and "the day after."  An attorney will confirm for you that the subject matter in this paragraph falls under INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY LAW.  Here I have put the short and simple yield from July 2, 1939 only.  It all makes sense and you get their message.  You'll need a desktop computer for these articles:  

The cross-eyed post office guy from the Atlanta paper, dated 7-2-39.   Did you get his anagram?:  "SO N-NOT L-LIVING."  The implication from the tube pass number is that the post office people may not see things very good. The post office guy also reminded me of June 14, 1985, which was six months before I have my London tube pass.  June 14, 1985 was the day TWA847 was hijacked, and also the day that the Abigail Adams (anagram:  " GA. MAIL IS A BAD.") stamp was issued.  Let's digress a moment and check out the FIRST ISSUE stamp below:  

And from the New York Times below, also dated 7-2-39, an appropriate headline for out subject here of Intellectual Property Law.  I've put the page here large enough to read on a big screen computer.

Anyway, enough here to make the point about the 'numbers racket.'  But was there anything that was triggered by facial recognition technology?  Good luck in finding that.  Mostly impossible, but it can happen.  Maybe you're at your TV set at the hotel and see a game show contestant that looks just like you.  That qualifies as suspicious.  But with this tube card, I noticed the face was similar to Leo Frank.  I've put the two faces side by side below.  Not the first time that happened with Leo Frank.  I looked a bit like him in one of his childhood photos too.  And strangely enough, Leo Frank was pardoned in 1986 on the same day that I was at the Royal Albert Hall for a fashion show that was organized with Boomtown Rats singer Bob Geldof (I don't like Mondays) :     

Me, circa 1978, and Leo

The art thief is credited with the catchphrase "iconography is a dangerous knowledge," but we mostly enjoy it anyway.  On the subject, I Don't Like Mondays opens in the same fashion as Jefferson Starship's We Built this City, which was nicked from the famous Van Gough painting, Starry Night.  At the end of the video, the Boomtown Rats are in a museum staring at moving 'starry night' image on the wall.  I Don't Like Mondays was released in the UK just 7 months after Brenda Spencer's January 1979 shooting on Grover Cleveland Elementary School from her house across the street.  At the time, "I don't like Mondays" was her only excuse for the shooting.  Two teachers were killed, and eight children hit.  Spencer later revealed that she targeted the children dressed in her favorite color, blue, and that she chose those wearing goose down jackets, because she liked to "see the feathers fly" as the bullets hit them.  And below:  Cover from sponsor Bob Geldof's 1986 UK Fashion Awards brochure.  The event was held the same day that Leo Frank was pardoned in Georgia USA .

In 1915, Leo Frank was trying to get his conviction overturned when a Georgia mob abducted him from prison, and lynched him at a tree in Marietta, GA.  Today, I'm told the BIG CHICKEN (1963) is the site of that lynching.  Numerous books, articles, movies, etc. have been produced about this case.   I was at a fashion show at the Royal Albert Hall in London the same day that Leo Frank was pardoned.  The pardon made international news.  The victim, little Mary Phagan (as the poem put it), lived in East Point GA, and is on the same 1910 Census Report (page 58 of 87 pages) as my great grandparents, Christ and Eula (page 11).  The enumerator wrote the name of the streets in the left column of the entire report, which is no supposed to be done.  From this though, we know that the Phagans lived on Washington St., and the Timms lived on Ware Avenue.  Click on the book below, AND THE DEAD SHALL RISE to view the Timms on the 1910 East Point GA Census Report.  No joke.  The enumeration of my great granddad 'Christ' is on the page this book clicks you to.  Did I just dangle a participle?   

Seen above is The Dead Shall Rise Again by the author Steve Oney, whose anagram is "YE SEE ON T.V."  The relevance of that anagram is in one word:  Dopplegangers.  The face of Leo Frank is not a new one, and it is one that's used over and over.  Remember that the London Tube card number is the main point of the tab you are at here.  It was issued to me on my first day in London on December 28, 1985.  

Leo Frank, Mary Phagan, and

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY LAW.

Under Construction

Actress Madge Blake (anagram: "MAKE GA BLED.") was born 5-31-1899, the day before Mary Phagan.  She's shown here with June Clever as Margaret Mondello (anagram: "TELL GA MEN A DR. ROOM.") in TV's Leave it to Beaver.    

Tom Watson, critic of Leo Frank, GA publisher;  The Jeffersonian and Watson's Magazine, and look-a-like actor Paul Fix, 'Micah' from The Rifleman.  

Days before the murder, the Atlanta Constitution ran an article about police cracking down on 'lovers in the park.'  In court, Frank was accused of being in the park with a woman who was not his wife.  It looks a bit like Leo Frank on this antique  postcard postmarked just months after the murder.

The links below will navigate you through much of the web page here.  ROYAL ANAGRAMS virtually validates all of the work and research you find here.  You will believe everything read and implied when you know the ROYAL ANAGRAMS, plus you are more likely to remember most of it too.  Some stories here started long before the birth of Prince Charles in 1948.  Visit ROYAL ANAGRAMS first, so that you understand the points made at other pages.  From ROYAL ANAGRAMS, visit the HOME page, and read the goals of the LAYORLIAR website.  As you read at the HOME page, one goal is to prove that Alexei Romanov is under the RTH, Sr. grave marker seen below. -- In the HOME icon, Alexei is pictured in striped swim trunks like the 1959 1st edition Barbie.  The guitarist with Cheap Trick wears a similar top in the 1982 hit She's Tight.  I recommend the  Intellectual Property Law (IPL) tab next, which includes the Andy Warhol painting of the newspaper that was published the day I was born.  Plus the book titled Fourth of June from 1962 (my day and year of birth), along with more movie clips and doppelgangers.  After IPL go anywhere. ---- Click the Robert Thomas Hollis (anagram:  "OL' BIRTH SHAMS TO ROLE.") grave marker to read about HR493, which the Genetics Information Non-Discrimination Act, which went into effect on the 100th birthday of RTS, Sr. The DOPPELGANGERS icon is a small introduction of family photos and the look-a-like royals, models, celebs, etc. ---- There is more of that at the TWILIGHT ZONE tab.  Remember what happened to Dan Hollis at Anthony Freemont's birthday party?  The Twilight Zone is peppered with WORD SEARCH puzzles, and information on a few episodes which have already been identified as your favorites. DUGOUT WITH WEIRD SCIENCE is as macabre as TWILIGHT ZONE. From there, tour the pages of TWA847, PAN AM FLIGHT 103,  and ON MY LAST FULL DAY IN EUROPE (PAA73) for airplane drama.  SPY GAMES LEO and RKH tabs are meant to entertain you mostly, but will also assist you in 'decrypting' secret 'babble' planted in movies, tv shows, books, puzzles, etc.  And finally, McDONALD'S BRICK explains the purpose of jots.  Save that tab for the end of your tour of the LAYORLIAR webpage.
