Who was that mystery man?

 “A crowd of eagles screamed overhead and I looked up. I only saw two swallows winging softly out to the sea.”

Okay. The days I spent with him at his apartment on the corner of Fountain and Crescent Heights he showed me the book he was writing, his life story, with drawings. That line above was one of his short poems. After writing about him earlier, link, I checked on Amazon and there, 1 copy left, was his autobiography with drawings, in used good condition with drawings. It cost me $20 but I just sprang for it because I've got to know, if the poem I remember with the little drawings of birds flying in the sky is in the book, then that movie star was the man who I was trafficked to at age 19 in Hollywood in 1967. or maybe when I was 18 and 68. anyway I'm posting this here on my blog today as a way to document it. I'm not going to come back and edit this post, and then when I get the book Feb 2-4, I'm going to look and see if it has the poem about the Eagles overhead who turned out to just be seagulls flying softly into the sea. then I will post who the movie star was if it was him. so stay tuned.

“into my mind popped a memory of working in that office on the corner of Bedford and Wilshire where Rogers & Cowan took up one floor in 1984. The weird circularity of my life is that in the office across the hall from me was the son of a famous actor, whose name I'm not going to put here. In the late 1960s when I was a wide eyed blonde in my late teens floating around Hollywood, at one point I met this woman from Australia who kept putting me in situations where I ended up having sex with some man who… 

The elegant Aussie took me to the actor's home without telling me who he was; I ended up alone with him, whose movies keep showing up in black and white on YouTube and other networks, I looked him up on Wikipedia recently and it was during the period that he had just divorced his wife that he was set up with me, and I ended up staying in his Crescent Heights luxurious home for several days, so naive that I thought we were having a relationship. Looking back now I can see the Aussie woman was trafficking me; at age 19 in 1967 I was on my own in LA getting in all kinds of trouble… I survived.”

Follow-up coming when the book gets here

I wonder if this is how people in Iraq felt when the American army came storm trooping through their cities kicking in their doors and taking people out of their homes a while back, just saying ‪Kay Ebeling in Tahoe‬

It's like a compulsion. I will blog until the day I die. I see me in cardiac arrest reaching shakily for my computer to press the key to publish just before I drop dead, any day now

James Hansen became a maverick after pre-trumpian reaction to his 1988 Congressional testimony- DIY Hospice on a Heating Planet blog

From Climate Uncensored on Substack today:

"Freedom of speech was a reality then. An intense period of education about climate policy arose from a failed government attempt to violate my right of free speech"

'NASA Public Affairs told me that I must inform them of every media interview request and allow NASA the option of naming a “more appropriate” spokesperson. After they exercised that option several times, I informed Andy Revkin of the New York Times of this process, described by lawyers as “prior restraint.” Prior restraint is a violation of the Constitutional right of free speech.'

EXCERPT:

The 1980s were difficult for the group of young scientists that I led at the Goddard Institute for Space Studies, as we battled continual attempts to move us to Maryland and refusal of NASA to upgrade our decrepit (1967) computer. Yet we were nourished by our rich environment and the pleasure of finding things out,[6] as we developed our approach at climate analysis based on the combination of paleoclimate data, global modeling, and modern observations. Nevertheless, I was jolted by the reaction of fellow scientists to my congressional testimony in 1988, in which I asserted that a significant effect of humans on global temperature had begun. Skepticism of any assertion is good science, but I was surprised by characterization of my testimony as “Hansen vs. the World.”[7] That reaction seemed to be an almost-angry assertion that I had “jumped the gun.”

In fact, my testimony was well justified, as I will describe in the relevant chapter, but I was not capable or effective in oral debate and I preferred to work on research. Also, the United Nations Environmental Program and the World Meteorological Organization formed an organization, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in 1988 to address climate change and advise the United Nations. Therefore, after my congressional testimony, I declined interviews with the media for more than a decade. That approach worked well, as we resumed the pleasure of finding things out; my colleagues and I wrote many significant papers in the 1990s.[8] IPCC’s third assessment report (TAR), in 2001, made scores of references to our papers.

By that time, shortcomings of the United Nations political approach to climate change (the Kyoto Protocol) and of the UN’s scientific advisory body (IPCC) were apparent. In a review,[9] I raised two issues. First, IPCC estimated that the Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets would contribute only 5 centimeters (2 inches) to sea level rise by 2100 in their main greenhouse gas scenario, in which atmospheric CO₂ reached 700 ppm[10] by 2100. Such a CO₂ level would dwarf anything that has occurred on Earth in millions of years. IPCC’s sea level estimate was based mainly on GCMs (global climate models). However, paleoclimate data and modern observations suggest that sea level rise is a more serious threat. Second, non-CO₂ climate forcings – methane, ozone, black soot and other air pollutants – may together play a role in climate change almost as great as that of CO₂, so they deserve greater attention.

This was when I began to realize that I was a maverick....

kathryn’s Substack4m

can't wait for the movie version, what a story he has to tell

I wonder who told Kristi Noem to publicize the part of her autobiography where she shot her puppy in the face because it would get her a job on Trump's cabinet like she has now, in charge of a brigade of a drug-like-meth-fueled street thugs funded by Trump's govt shooting Americans in the face on streets of Cities where Democrats live.

My Hospice Care is DIY because, well, Kamala didn't get elected, she had a plan to hire more caregivers with better pay and training; now it's just another program that exists on paper. I can feel myself dying as I get up and do everything it takes to keep my home clean with no help from anyone, getting weaker every day. What really scares me is in this HUD run senior building, they keep finding dead bodies of old people like me who die in their apartments and nobody notices until the smell gets bad. Or EMTs show up and take them to hospital never to be heard from again. I am really scared that that's how I'm going to end up in a few months or years or so. At least by blogging the experience as I have it, someone will eventually know. I have two adult children. Where are they?

What people are doing to Michael Cohen right now is astonishing. if y'all are this easily misled, no wonder Trump is still president

I love Google voice typing -Kay Abilene

As Trump grabs Greenland by the Permafrost, he can’t call climate change a hoax anymore. As Epstein files inure world to child sex traffic, we can face pedophile Catholic priest crimes too. I blogged about both topics past 20 years and now, age 77 slowing down, I feel vindicated https://cityofangels25.blogspot.com/2026/01/epstein-pedophile-trump-greenland-truth.html

Epstein makes saying I'm a pedophile priest survivor okay at same time Trump grabbing Greenland makes climate change so obvious it can’t be a hoax, causing one blogger on both topics to feel vindicated

Finally it's okay to say pedophile out loud thanks to Jeffrey Epstein. And finally, mainstream media is referring to Melting Arctic ice without questioning whether the planet is heating.

For me this is a special experience, because in 2007 I started City of Angels Blog as one of the victims of pedophile priests, and about 5 years later I had the pleasant- sort of- experience of hearing comedians everywhere make jokes about pedophile priests and everyone in the audience getting it. Because it was no longer a question whether it happened or not, people like me telling our stories and getting the information into the mainstream helped to get people past the shock to where they could accept and admit it happened. 

Now As Trump reaches out to grab Greenland by its mushy melting ice, the same thing is happening for me with global warming, 

When I started Heating Planet blog last September, there were still people saying out loud that climate change was a hoax, including the president himself. Now as you read or hear stories about his expansionism into Greenland, the pundits just say things like “where the ice is melting and new sea routes are opening” or “as the Arctic heats, the region is becoming more strategic.”

I swear when I started heating Planet blog four months ago, no one was saying that; they were still questioning out loud that global warming and climate change were real in the mainstream American media last September. And I swear when I first started City of Angels blog in 2007 about the priests, most people didn't believe the victims / survivors as we were coming forward. 

This is very gratifying for me, because I feel like in a small way one little old lady was a laptop blogging was able to push the narrative forward into areas that it wasn't going to go into otherwise. 

I knew the power of a Blog because in the 1970s when I was in college I was a member of the Austin video users council, a futurists club,  and we talked about the upcoming interconnectedness, we didn't know it was going to be called the internet we didn't know it was going to happen with computers. In the 1970s there were lots of headlines saying “in the future you will talk to your TV set” in predictions of the inevitable connectedness that was coming as humans developed telemetry. 

I'm one of the 100,000 people who came forward in the early 2000s that we were molested by a Catholic priest decades ago, and since I'm a journalist and I could see how the media and Justice departments and everyone in religion management was going along with covering up these crimes to save the church, I felt like God told me to start City of Angels blog back in 2007 where I ended up covering the 660 cases against the LA Archdiocese. Then I had that weird experience that I wrote about in my online book, USA sided with pedophile priests and soon after the nation fell, where every time I told somebody I was a pedophile Priest Victim and as a journalist I was writing about the crimes, they would remove me from their Auto dial they would block me on facebook, they would come right up to me in person and say that never happened. Honest in 2012, a guy in the building where I lived in Lancaster before moving to Tahoe came right out and said to me “That never happened” when I mentioned I was writing about the pedophile priest crimes. My online book that needs to be made into a true crime series is about how- 

At the same time people were starting to believe in right wing media and Donald Trump they were also siding with Catholic  Bishops thinking the pedophile priest victims were just out to destroy the church which is ridiculous I don't give a fuck about the church. 

So I went silent. I didn't tell people I was a pedophile priest victim anymore, and I didn't tell new friends about my blogs at City of Angels 3 to 12 where many of those crimes are documented. I became ashamed of my own work because whenever I brought it up with someone, I would have this strange experience. 

I got bullied out of the building where I was living outside Chicago in 2011 once people knew I was filing a lawsuit against their archdiocese. And I got bullied in South Lake Tahoe in 2018 when I told one neighbor about my blog, and the entire population of the building where I live turned on me, it was horrible. 

I don't think that would happen anymore now that Jeffrey Epstein's crimes have been in the news for so long so in a weird way I'm grateful for that.

Thanks to all this media coverage of Epstein, people have become inured to the word pedophile and the horrible imagery it brings into your head- enough so they can actually grok and accept that the crime really does happen. 

It's pretty much the same population who watch Fox News and vote for Donald Trump who thought that the pedophile priest victims were making up their stories so we could file lawsuits, and the WHOLE WORLD needs them to Snap Out Of Their Trance; and yes I did file a lawsuit in Illinois, my final check was 11,000 and change. I filed so that my perpetrator priest Thomas Barry Horne would end up in the database that was all I wanted and all I got.

Thanks to Jeffrey Epstein, people aren't shocked at the idea anymore; all of a sudden I can say yes I'm a pedophile Priest Victim and not have to move to escape the repercussions. And thanks to Trump grabbing Greenland by the Permafrost, no one can call climate change a hoax anymore.

multiple autoimmune disease, tendinopathy, HUD senior housing and me this AM

It's ironic because when I started Heating Planet blog in September, I had this wonderful experience of several hours a day of no pain while I was blogging. I was engaging my mind and so I didn't notice the pain which is how the Lamaze childbirth technique is supposed to work. However, just like every drug I've taken since 1996 when I first got sick with this, after a while it stopped working and left me feeling worse. I have multiple autoimmune diseases and one of them is tendinopathy which, as I was copy and pasting and sitting up at the computer all those hours, apparently spread into my rib cage and my arms, and now I can barely even reach up I can't use my arms; I’m more crippled. The worst part about it is no one knows. I'm living in HUD senior housing and in the past 3 years I've gone from dancing around the building to walking with canes to walking on a walker to now barely even being able to do that, and no one has ever asked me what's wrong do you need help, not a neighbor or a staff person. I'm more angry about the staff people ignoring me because they're being paid a salary and most my neighbors are dealing with their own catastrophes in their life that cause them to end up being broke and alone in subsidized Senior housing, most of us female by the way which is a whole nother topic.

I HAD TO STOP WORKING SO HARD

It's too bad also because it was engaging my mind on Heating Planet posts for several hours a day that kept the pain down. Also, I'm pretty sure engaging my mind like that also helps prevent Alzheimer's and other memory issues that so many of my neighbors have. so I'm going to keep blogging even though I'm not really saying much of anything these days.

Today I have to take my trash out. I have to wait until I've had three doses of Tylenol and CBD gel cap which is all the painkiller I have these days.

I took down the ads. I saw a news report about the CEO gazing out over a field of AI induced electronic stuff that is destroying Farmland in many parts of the country, I looked at my payment schedule from Google and realized I was never going to make a dime, and I took down the ads.

My blog has a new name: DIY Hospice on a Heating Planet

Autoimmune disease did not exist until the late 1800s right around the same time humans started burning lots more fossil fuels. I'm dying right now of a syndrome called multiple autoimmune disease or MAD hahaha, and I wish someone would research how much our inhaling of CO2 on a daily basis since the late 1800s has created multiple autoimmune diseases, which are making me live a very painful life as I die slowly. I'm not complaining, I'm just saying what's happening. Kind of looking forward to segueing into wherever I go next hope it’s less painful.

*****I asked Google

These are results for what happens if inhale CO2?

AI Overview

Breathing in carbon dioxide (CO2) causes effects ranging from mild headaches and dizziness at lower levels to severe confusion, rapid heart rate, muscle twitching, and unconsciousness, eventually leading to coma and death at high concentrations, primarily because it displaces essential oxygen and disrupts the body's pH balance. Even slightly elevated indoor levels can impair thinking, while very high levels (over 7-10%) can cause rapid unconsciousness and suffocation, acting as a simple asphyxiant by reducing oxygen availability.*****

Think about it. For 150 years now humans have been inhaling little by little- or if you live in places like Houston or L.A. a lot- of co2 and now as a species we are poisoned.

It makes sense.The same thing that's heating the planet is also poisoning the humans on the planet and probably every other life form that relies on oxygen. 

CO2 brain damage may explain the mental diffusion that got Americans to vote for Donald Trump.

I don't know how to get humans to stop burning fossil fuels, at this point I'm just riding out and watching till the end. -ke

I'm done. Going into hospice. Segueing out of my human body soon, too crippled to even copy & paste let alone type anymore. I can however voice type, so in coming months will be writing about my weird life. Glad I was able to make one last splash with Heating Planet blog before I pass. Anything I write from here will still have that name, Heating Planet, as it can apply to more than global warming. Like, for example, auto immune disease, inflammation. For now, the pain is bad and spreading and I can sense time running out, so want to spend next months enjoying the beauty around me and a comfortable chair with a movie. Earth really is special so for now I'm going to relish in her, in DIY Hospice in Tahoe. NOTE: Will still be posting, journaling- as USA dies along with me...

TRANSCRIPT

Welcome to Future Scope, where imagination meets innovation. 

Step into tomorrow today.

By the year 2070, Earth crossed a critical line. Global temperatures rose by 3 1/2° and half the planet went underwater. The old highways are reefs now. Skyscrapers have become islands.

Climate change didn't arrive suddenly. It accelerated faster than humanity could adapt. As coastlines disappeared, the largest human migration in history began. To survive rising oceans, humans learn to live on water instead of fighting it. Floating cities anchored offshore harvest the sun, the wind, and the waves to keep entire-

Food production had to evolve as traditional farming collapsed. From vertical stacks glowing under protective domes to AI guided irrigation arms tracing perfect arcs across the sand.

In the hottest regions, survival meant going underground. Below the furnace of the desert, entire cities were carved from stone, cooled by flowing air and powered by captured sunlight.

Life fresh water became the most valuable resource on Earth. So, we learned to pull it from the sea, move it across deserts, and share it with every community. Artificial intelligence became humanity's early warning system. It watched the oceans, the rivers, and the forests, predicting disaster before the first siren sounded. And cities were redesigned to survive constant environmental threats. Fireproof materials shield every surface. Automated drones hold the flames at bay, keeping life inside the walls safe.

Climate collapse didn't end humanity. But it forced humanity to change forever. Floating cities, underground havens, desert oases, now home to the next generation, learning.

As sea levels rise, cities don't disappear, they transform. Towers become islands. Streets turn to waterways. Life adapts, floating with the tide.

[KE: remember this is fiction]

Migration becomes survival as millions search for higher ground. Humanity fights back by reshaping the edge of the planet. The food production moves upward when land is lost forever; when the surface burns, life continues below.

Families gather in warmth. Cities breathe through stone and light and we keep moving forward. Growing technology becomes the shield between humanity and chaos.

3.25

A new generation learns about a planet they never knew. Water becomes the most valuable currency on Earth. The sun fuels survival in a world pushed to its limits. It's turned barren sand into oceans of power and pours its light into giant hearts of stored energy. For the first time, humanity fights climate collapse as one. Together, we are turning the tide.

Extreme heat becomes the new global enemy. Across continents, survival now depends on clouds of artificial rain and the will to endure a world set alight. Cities evolve to withstand a planet on fire. Behind walls that drink the heat, life flourishes, learning to live with the flames, not flee them. Even damaged ecosystems can be revived with time and care.

Healthcare adapts to a world without stable ground. Borders shift when survival replaces politics. Digital gates sort each arrival and whole communities move as one, guided by data, not maps.

Abandoned nature returns where humans step back. New roots lift forgotten roads. Animals wander streets once filled with engines. Rooftops turn to meadows. Rivers to wetlands and cleaning the atmosphere becomes humanity's greatest mission.

Towers rise above the skylines, drawing pollution from the air and sealing it safely and silently. Economies shift to value survival over profit. New climate currencies replace old money. Digital tokens tied to water, energy, and carbon balance. Defense and restoration become one. Across these shores, concrete cradles coral, mangroves anchor the tides, and communities breathe new life into the water's edge.

5.30

For the first time, the planet begins to cool. Cities survive by sealing themselves from a hostile planet. As land disappears, humanity learns to live on water. Cities drift, sails drinking the sun, farms hang in the sky, and boats thread the streets where roads once ran.

Human bodies evolve with technology to endure extreme temperatures. As the world around us burns, we learn to cool from within. Each step forward is a testament to adaptation to resilience. Life moves underground to escape the collapsing surface. Here, warmth and light are carved from stone. Streets glow, children learn, gardens flourish, and communities thrive.

Water becomes the most valuable resource on Earth. Technology fights back against a broken climate system. Towers of metal and light bend the fury of a hurricane, steering it away from the people on its path. Humanity learns not to stop nature but to guide its destruction away from life.

6.50

Migration becomes the defining story of humanity. Nature is redesigned to help heal the planet. After collapse, humanity chooses adaptation over extinction.

And in the quiet light of a new day, the world begins to grow with us again. Survival forces nations to cooperate like never before. Now together, we watch the planet heal. The oceans become humanity's last reliable source of fresh water. And several designs start flowing and intake in the city.

Food survives by evolving faster than the climate. Roots that glow with resilience. Farmers rewriting genes in real time. Harvesting a future that adapts. Cleaning the air becomes a global emergency mission.

Education shifts from history to survival. In these floating schools and labs, the next generation studies the planet not as a memory, but as a mission. They learn from our mistakes and design the future-

Machines become the first responders of a collapsing world. Old borders vanish beneath rising seas. Cities once anchored to the coast drift in memory. While nations gather on higher ground, building anew, [editing glitch] no longer permanent. Adaptation is.

They roll across tundra. They float when the land drowns. They rise above fire and carry life with them. Prediction becomes the strongest form of protection. Repair begins where destruction once ruled. Protective fields cradle fragile growth and color returns to stone. Life remembers and builds again.

Survival reshapes humanity's relationship with the planet. Humanity begins to regain control by understanding the planet again. Rebuilding starts where destruction once ended. From shattered blocks to solar rooftops. From empty lots to gardens in bloom, people come together. Power-

9.50

The next generation is trained not to repeat our mistakes. Nature is given space to heal and it responds. Forests surge back across scarred ground. Animals return, sculpting the land anew. Life flows outward, wilder every day. Old systems fade as cleaner futures take their place. Their power comes not from smoke, but from the endless turning of wind and the quiet harvest of light. Old systems fade as cleaner futures take their place. Survival teaches unity faster than politics ever could.

Across borders, leaders share the same screens, scientists share the same data, and communities share the same hope. The oceans retreat. Not completely, but enough. Enough to breathe, to build, to try again. And we step carefully back to the shore. A new balance emerges between progress and preservation. This recovery is slow, but it is real. After collapse came understanding. After loss came responsibility. This is not the end of humanity's story, but the moment it finally learned how to survive.
