Demolition Days, Part 49

Continuing
We can get a number of test shots per hole if I start out light and build until I collapse things. I decide that since we’re trying to acquire data below 30,000 feet, we’ll begin with 2 joints of Seismogel and work out way up.
The tests in the 10-30 meter holes resulted in fairly good, though shallow, data. After plotting the responses, it gave me a good idea what was going to be needed for the deeper holes.
In the first 40 meter test hole, I went with 15 joints of Seismogel.
“Now we’re getting somewhere,” the geophysicists said after collating the data.
I ramped it to 40, then 50, finally 60 kilos. Each time, the data looked more promising, but I had destroyed that test hole in the process.
For the 50 meter test, I said “Screw this” and went with 100 kilos of primary.
We had data coming out of our ears. Added into the vibrator data, run through the processing steps, we were actually getting useable data to around 37,000 feet in depth.
So, a program of 50-meter deep, 100-kilo charged, shot holes was devised.
It took a week to drill all the holes, and I was able to dispatch them in groups of five. I could have done more, but there was just such a mountain of data being returned, we were overloading the computer’s ability to record, much less process, the stuff.
I returned to Houston later that week and was so pleased to be back home again. I got a bone-cracking hug and heartfelt kiss from Esme, a sloppy slurp on the nose from Lady, and was totally ignored by the cat.
Back at the office, Harry waylaid me on my way to the lab.
“Rock, congratulations”, he offered. “I heard of your solution to the Belt data problem. So did the higher-ups. Guess what? You and Esme going to the Bahamas and staying at our company retreat for a week as a bonus. How about that?”
“How about that? Great. A place where my Hawaiian shirts will be really appreciated.” I smiled.
A scant two weeks later, we’re in Business Class winging our way to Nassau. Once there, overland to Cockburn Town and the company retreat.
It was the Oilman’s Club writ large, with a tropical flair. There was gambling on the island, fishing offshore for me, restaurants, tours, horseback riding for Esme, shops, cigars, unusual drinks; the whole megillah. It was a great, relaxing time; especially since it was all on someone else’s nickel.
We returned to Houston refreshed and ready to attack work once again.
About a month later, I return home one Friday, toting a Papasino’s Extra Large Gut-Bomb pizza and a new bottle of Russian-import vodka. It was movie night, and I decided we’re going to try some international Film-Noir over pizza and drinks.
Esme greets me, Lady almost gets a whole pizza to herself after she steamrolls me at the door. The cat ignores everyone.
I see Esme smiling. “Well, that’s good, I’m glad she likes pizza.” I think to myself.
“Rock, sit down. I have some news.” Esme says.
“Yes, dear?”, as I open the pizza box and look longingly at the sausage and peppers and onions and mushrooms. Hey, it’s been a long time since lunch
“Rock? You listening?” Esme asks, slightly louder.
Total attention on her now. “Yes?”
“Rock, we’re pregnant.” Esme smiles.
I knew that tropical weather was invigorating.
Next week, in Dr. Kuracisto’s office, we lay out a detailed game plan. We are going to try everything to avoid a repeat of the last time.
We decide it’s OK for Esme to work, but I’m hiring a driver for her. I don’t want to have her worry over the gonzo Houston traffic nor equally wacky weather. She will continue to work until she feels it necessary to take her maternity sabbatical. Her work readily agrees and that is one less problem with which we have to grapple.
The doctor puts her on a strict diet and prescribes her a special selection of neo-natal vitamins. He also outlines a program of exercise, so later that day, we go to Orshman’s and purchase a treadmill. She doesn’t need to be bucking the Houston humidity at this point in time.
I hire a housekeeper to show up twice weekly. Esme’s is on light duty.
No worries, once our child is born, she’ll be back to putting in the long hours.
Time progresses like it’s walking on eggshells. We are being so ridiculously overcautious, anything to avoid the situation like last time.
I even check if we should find alternate homes for our pets, as I have read that cat boxes and doggy leavings can complicate pregnancies.
Our Doctor says that won’t be necessary. Just make certain that I’m the one dealing with those fun chores.
He sets up an accelerated series of appointments for Esme. Every two weeks, just to be on the safe side.
Two months in and everything’s going as per plan. We’re eating right, I’m smoking less, only outside, and even giving over to soda water in lieu of my usual long hard day at the office drink. It’s to show solidarity.
We still have our Friday movie nights. Except its ever-so-tasty salads, yeesh, instead of delicious gut-bomb pizzas.
I don’t tell anyone at work, I wouldn’t want anything to jinx this. Life proceeds as per plan.
Until the 16th week.
Our second pregnancy spontaneously terminates.
I can’t say if it was harder or easier to accept this cruel turn of affairs.
We have to go through the same procedures as last time.
The heartfelt “I’m sorry’s”.
The stiff upper lips.
The recriminations, the angst, the hatred at whatever was allowing this to transpire.
It took more months and more being there for each other. I won’t lie and say any of this was easy. It was perhaps the worst part of my life so far.
Esme decided to return to work. I retained the driver for another couple of months; I still didn’t want her to have to deal with tailgaters, lane-sliders, and all the other genera of idiot Houston drivers.
Dr. Kuracisto called us in for a consultation three months later. He had the results of the genetic testing. There was nothing that could be found that was causative to these situations. He offered us nothing but general solace that there was nothing that could be found that said either Esme or I were genetically culpable.
I was relieved, but only in the tiniest fraction. The family history of miscarriages was not evidently passed down along with mitochondrial DNA.
Back to square one, we both threw ourselves into our work. It was a grim time, as it was proving difficult to paste a smile on every day when you were carrying this load of unresolved grief.
Even travel seemed to pale, as it was always our answer to get out and get a fresh perspective. San Antonio and Austin just faded. We stayed home more and engrossed ourselves in our respective time-consuming hobbies.
I had built a fair carpentry shop out in the garage, and Esme knitted like she had a $100/day habit.
I could sense our slow, inexorable drifting apart.
The next week, I booked a trip to Greece. It was time for me to pull out all the stops and do something I had always promised. I contacted Esme’s works and unbeknownst to her, sorted out all the time off and arranged for the trip.
I came home on Friday and had arranged for the pets to be picked up by the local critter jail. I had the tickets in my pocket when I walked into Esme’s knitting room.
“OK”, I said, “Time for you to get packed.” As I handed her the tickets.
“What’s this?” she asked.
“We’re going to Greece. Just like I always promised. Now, hurry up. The car will be here shortly.” I told her.
“Oh, Rock”, she protested, “We can’t go. What about Lady and Nietzsche? What about the house? What about…?”
“What about us?” I sternly replied. “We, you and me, are the most important items in this old house. We are battered and bruised, but not broken. We need a tune-up. So, get packed. Everything’s arranged.”
It finally dawned that this was perhaps what was necessary at this point in time. Eight hours later, we’re on our way to Greece. Three weeks in Athens, Crete, and Santorini.
We’re also going over to Cyprus, where I have ulterior motives. It's home to the Troodos Ophiolite. It represents a Late Cretaceous spreading axis (mid-ocean ridge) that has since been uplifted due to its positioning on the overriding Anatolian plate at the Cyprus arc and subduction to the south of the Eratosthenes Seamount. It’s one of the many things on my geological bucket list.
I had arranged for a two-week stay in Greece along with a week-long cruise. I was trying to be certain I could reset our lives back to what passed for normality.
We had a great time. Esme was particularly enchanted with the ruins and the history just dripping off of everything in the area. I even got to trek a couple of historical volcanoes in the region. But most time was spent together, trying to repair what no one really knew was slightly tattered.
Upon return to Houston, times resumed back to what passed for normal. Esme returned once again to work, I dismissed our driver but kept the housemaid. Lady was miffed at us for a week for having incarcerated her. The cat just ignored me.
Dr. Kuracisto called us in for a consultation two months later. He hadn’t found any sort of evidence of what was causing the pregnancy problems. He wanted to know our intentions and he had some advice to offer.
We still wanted our own family, but it was still a very sore subject. I reminded Esme that if we wanted to continue, we’d best hear what the doctor had to say.
After a lot of talks that I must admit went in one ear and out the other, he suggested we visit his colleague, an endocrinologist, and reproductive therapist.
He said there was no hurry. Take our time, discuss the matter, and then let him know of our answer.
The next few days were bleak, to say the least. It dredged up painful memories we’d tried our damnedest to bury. However, it was Esme in the end, with her risk-benefit analysis that ruled the day.
Two weeks later, we met with Dr. Gormon, Esme’s gynecologist’s endocrinologist colleague.
There was an extensive, exhaustive medical history taken of us both. We had to see if we could source any of our medical records from back home in Baja Canada. That accomplished, we underwent a battery of tests the likes of which I haven’t seen this side of cosmonaut evaluations.
MRIs, CAT-scans, blood work, stress tests, other generally nasty, uncomfortable, and invasive testing procedures, some of which I could do without, quite frankly. Over the span of two months, we were periodically poked, prodded, and probed. No stone, so to speak, was left unturned.
Everything came back right down the line. Thousands upon thousands of dollars of medical testing to determine that I could stand to lose a few pounds.
We were nowhere nearer an explanation that when we started all this.
Esme grew more and more inconsolable.
But one little niggling blip finally showed up on the radar. There was this seemingly insignificant hormone deficiency noted in Esme. If one wasn’t specifically looking for it, it would have never been noticed.
Dr. Gorman felt that this could be the smoking gun.
He felt, after long consultation with his colleagues, that her slight departure from the norm with this hormone could be either the catalyst or contributory cause to our spontaneous pregnancy terminations.
This was both news we wanted to hear but not news Esme wanted.
Now she felt totally and singularly responsible for our quandary.
I told Dr. Gorman to say what was necessary to shift this absurd notion from Es’s mind.
It was not, in fact, Esme’s fault. It was no ones. He explained it could just as well be an internal reaction to my genetic contribution. They had done heroic amounts of genetic testing and found no incompatibility, but one never quite knows for absolute certain in such cases.
“Doctor”, I said, “With this revelation, what is your prognosis for our future viable term-pregnancy?”
Bull by the balls time. If there was the ultimate bad news, better now than later.
“With the new hormone therapy” he continued, “We can augment Esme’s minor deficiency. Now it’s a new treatment, just past experimental. There so far have been no untoward side effects or complications and the results have been very, very promising. It’s quite expensive, though, and I must be frank with you. It’s not a panacea that will be guaranteed to generate positive results.”
Esme and I look at each other.
“Doctor”, I say for the both of us, “Thank you for being clinical. We understand. When can we start?”
“Splendid. Immediately” he notes, “There is a supply of the drug here in the Houston Medical Center. I will arrange for your prescription and dosage if you so desire”
I give Esme a sort of half-smile.
“What do you say, dear? Third times a charm?” I try a little levity.
Esme actually chuckles a bit.
“Like my husband always says: ‘Let’s get after its wild ass.’” She replies, filled with new resolve.
The drug is monstrously expensive, even though Esme is only taking milligrams of the stuff per dosage. She must continue with the program for three months prior to our trying again. There will be weekly visits with Dr. Gorman and more testing to monitor the situation to a gnat’s ass.
It’s going to be a pure bitch, schedule-wise, time-wise, driving-wise. Dr. Gorman is located over on one side of town, we’re on another, and the Medical Center is in another altogether.
But, if it were easy, everybody’d be doing it. We re-arrange our schedules as the Doctor recommends.
The hormone therapy has no internal nor outward effect on Esme. It’s as if she’s not taking a drug that costs in excess of $800 per dose. The drug has to be stored in the fridge, below a certain temperature. If that is exceeded, the drug becomes worthless. But keeping things cool in the car is old hat for this ethanol-fueled carbon-based lifeform. I purchase a plug-in in-car refrigerator for our weekly jaunts to the Med Center.
Finally, three months have elapsed. We’re given the endocrinological green-light. All systems go and all that. I’ve even dropped a couple of stone to see if that would help.
Weeks segues into months, but no results. I need to go to New Orleans, Denver, and Casper over the next few months. More time away, more time slipping, slipping, slipping away into the future.
We take several short trips around Texas and even over to New Mexico over the next months.
We’re near Hobbs, New Mexico on the western Texas/eastern New Mexico state line. Cuba is practically clear over on the other side of the state. We both look at each other and gun the 4-Runner west.
Over Diablo Sandwiches at the Cuba Café, I ask if anyone has seen Sani.
“Sorry, Rock, Esme. Not for the last couple of months. But that’s his way. He could show up tomorrow.” Laqanda the waitress tells us.
We wheel into the Lago de Estrella pump station, quite unannounced. Long John sees us and comes running.
“Rock! Esme! How the hell are you all?” he laughs.
“We’re OK, John. How are you doing?” I ask.
After handshakes and hellos, Esme excuses herself and goes over to visit with Jerry and Betsy.
“So, John, what’s up?” I ask.
“Not much, Rock.” He replies. “You?”
I fill him in on my new title and position.
“Oh, well. Fuck me very much. Doctor Rock? VP? Oh, very nice.” John laughs, rubbing it in.
“Yeah, just don’t tell anyone else. It’s a secret.” I chuckle.
John looks over to our new ride, gives a low whistle, and helps himself to a cigar and cold beer.
“Sorry, Doctor, old habits die hard.” He laughs.
John tells me Ace has been promoted to Diesel Mechanic First Class. He’s running all now 12 huge diesel compressors.
Danny and Beth have departed the company and the state. John has no idea where they landed. They just took off one day, poof, and were gone.
“Not a great loss”, John chuckles.
We sit around and shoot the shit for an hour or so. Just catching up and telling new lies to each other.
I ask him about Sani. He says he hasn’t seen the old coot in months.
“But, with you and Esme here, I’m sure he’ll show,” John says, pointing to the side of his nose and then the sky.
We spend the night at the pump station at Jerry and Betsy’s behest. He whips up a wonderful dinner of fry bread, grilled fish, grilled meat, and his signature incendiary salsa. It was another meal for the books.
I ask if Fred’s still out at the Scavada Trading Post.
“Oh, yeah”, Jerry laughs, “He’s still there, giving everyone fits.”
“How so?” I ask.
“Everyone wants that pitiful little piece of property. It may not look it, but it’s a bloody gold mine. Location. Location. Location. But he won’t sell unless someone ponies up his ridiculous asking price.” Jerry continues.
“We’re going to stop on our way out tomorrow. Es and I want to drop by Javen Spanner’s place as well. How are things with the Spanners?” I ask.
“Not so good. Javen’s gone rather infirm. Eunice is having a devil of a time looking after him.” Bets replies.
“Well, maybe we shouldn’t drop by…” Es says.
“No, I think it’d do the old boy some good. I’ll ring them tomorrow morning and let them know you’re coming” Jerry says.
“That'd be great”, I say.
“That’s OK. Anything for Doctor Rocknocker.” He laughs.
I’ll never live this down.
We visit the Spanner Ranch. Javen is indeed rather unwell, but glad to see us; as is Eunice.
We don’t overstay our welcome and an hour later, we’re headed out to see Fred.
We wheel into the exact same, totally unchanged, Scavada Trading Post parking lot and hit the horn; just to annoy Fred.
“God damn it, now what…” Fred gripes as he walks out of the trading post.
He sees the black truck, he sees me wave, and then he sees Es.
He launches himself across the hood of our truck, slides to a dusty stop, and says:
“Hi, there!” Welcome back!”
Fred never has nor ever will change.
Over beers and cigars in the trading post, Fred brings us up to speed with all the reservation news and goings-on.
We tell him of our adventures and he has to give me the rub over the Doctor thing. We leave out the bits about trying to become parents.
Esme is poring over the dead pawn collection and Fred and I are swapping lies, as usual.
The door chimes and Sani walks in.
“Sani! Yáʼátʼééh. Haʼátʼíísh baa naniná?” I ask him as we shake hands in the Indian manner.
“I am well ‘Kǫʼ dził-hastiin.” He turns to address Esme, “Yáʼátʼééh Hweʼesdzáán dził Kǫʼhastiin. I hope you are well.”
Esme greets him with a womanly hug, sniffs a bit, but says nothing.
“Sani was told you are here and seek him. I am here” he says.
“I see you, Sani. Yep, can’t deny the reservation grapevine.” I chuckle.
“This I was told by the old ones. You are both troubled. Sit. We must talk.” Sani seriously says.
Fred excuses himself and busies himself elsewhere out of earshot.
“Yes, Sani. We seek guidance.” I say. Esme agrees.
“This I know, have been told. You have been through much. Much pain, much loss. I grieve for thee.” Sani says.
“Ahéheeʼ” I thank him, as I remember, “You have our gratitude.”
“There have been many changes. It is there for all to see.” Sani says.
“Yes. Many. Esme and I have married. I’ve received my Doctorate, I taught at university of a while. We have moved to Houston after many long trips. We are trying for a family.” I say. Esme stiffens.
“In many things, you have happiness. In others, much pain. Your pain is greater.” Sani says.
“Yes, we have to agree.” Es and I concur. Esme wells up.
“You will remain. I will return.” Sani says, and with that, saddles up and departs.
Fred walks in with a cold beer for me and an orange Fanta for Esme.
“Don’t try and figure it out. It’s just his way.” Fred says.
We spend the next couple of hours chatting about things past and present. We scrupulously avoid the future.
Sani walks in and we all greet each other.
Fred disappears into the woodwork again. For a big guy, he can sure be stealthy.
“I will speak with you as the old ones have spoken with me,” Sani says.
“Your pain will fade. This will take time. Do not blame each other. There is no blame.” Sani tells us.
Esme is a bit contrary, “Thanks for the platitudes. But I still don’t see how this helps.”
“Hweʼesdzáán dził Kǫʼhastiin.” Sani says, “This has been so much pain for you. More than many could bear. You can. You will. You are strong. You have Kǫʼ dził-hastiin. Together all will be as it was foretold. All as it was foreseen.”
We think back to the Squaw Dance. Is Sani referring to that?
“Thank you, Sani” I say. Esme is deep in thought. I do not disturb her.
“Now is not time for grief. Not time for pain. Time for friendship. This you have, here now. You will have what you desire in time. Do not despair. So it has been told, so it will be.” Sani says.
End of discussion.
I buy Sani and Fred a few beers and we chat for an hour’s discussion. After relieving me of a couple of my cigars, Sani rises to excuse himself.
“Hágoónee', Sani. I hope we meet again. Thank you for your words.” I say. Esme agrees.
“Hágoónee', Kǫʼdził-hastiin. Hágoónee' Hweʼesdzáán dził Kǫʼhastiin. I will leave you now. Remember.” Sani says.
Esme hugs him and I shake his hand.
“Will we meet again?” I ask.
“If it is deemed needed.” Sani says and departs.
Esme and I bid Fred a fond farewell. We need to get back to Houston and real-life once again.
We return to Houston and retrieve the animals. Lady goes nuts for the rawhide toys we found out west. The cat still ignores me.
We continue with Esme’s drug therapy and keep hoping for the best.
Time passes. Nothing of note happens. It’s hard to concentrate on some things when you’re consumed with others.
One Monday, I get a call.
“Rock here,” I say.
“Daddy Rock?” Esme asks.
I leave work and slowly drive home; unwilling to tempt fate. I pick up a bouquet of yellow roses on the way.
They’re Esme’s favorites. They represent hope.
We have a small, subdued celebration. We are cautious as field mice in a roomful of alley cats.
We want nothing to plague this pregnancy like the last two.
Now, we have doctor visits bi-weekly. With Dr. Kuracisto to monitor Esme’s progression, and Dr. Gorman to make sure her chemicals stay balanced.
It’s walking on eggshells time again. But every day, every week, every month, we grow slightly more enthusiastic that this will be the one. After all, third time’s a charm. Right?
We mark each passing milestone with subdued excitement. Five weeks, ten weeks, twenty weeks pass without incident. We feel like this is the one.
Esme feels great, her chemicals are doing what they should be doing, and as far as Dr. Kuracisto can tell, the pregnancy is progressing along with textbook normality.
Tuesday of week twenty one greets us with a disaster. We awake to find the bed swamped with blood.
The third pregnancy, after all our hopes, dreams, preparations, desires and medical science; has just been dashed to oblivion.
No, it doesn’t get any easier.
We both spiral into a deep depression.
Esme wants to give up. I don’t know if I have the words to change her mind, nor if I really want to.
After a few weeks of moping around the house, going through the motions at work, and generally not giving a damn about anything, I decide that enough is enough.
On Friday, I bring dinner and a bottle of Esme’s favorite wine.
“Es, I will speak with you.” I say.
“Yeah. What?” she replies.
“Risk-benefits analysis,” I say. “We have our health, we both have good jobs…”I spin off into the pros and cons of the last year or so.
Esme is sniffling now. Lady comes up and sets her huge head in Es’s lap, staring at her with those big, brown eyes. That dog is positively psychic. The cat still ignores us.
“OK” I say, “We cannot and will not continue like this. Let me ask you a direct question: do you still want a family?”
“Of course.” She sniffs.
“OK”, I reply, “I do as well. So we set a time. We give up all the magical lotions, notions, and potions. We let nature take its course. If by the end of said time, we’ve not had success, we abandon that route and go to Option B, adoption. What I do know is that we stop, right now, this self-destructive behavior. We get on with our lives. We do not despair. So it has been told, so it will be.”
Esme looks at me, looks at Lady, and sniffs a bit.
“OK, Rock, you’re right. We choose life. Let’s give it a year.” Es says.
Life returned to some semblance of normality. Esme excelled at work and I returned with renewed vigor to the Lab. We both remembered how to laugh, and how to take a slightly skewed view of life.
It was like a re-birth if I can employ the painful metaphor.
We visited Canada later that year, as I had to go do some investigations into the Athabascan Oil sands. We made it to Alaska, as I went to the North Slope and Es went shopping in Anchorage. We went to Galveston and Corpus Christi several times for weekenders.
Time marched on and we both forgot about our year contract. We were living again, it was like we were courting again.
I had been offered a new position in exploration. I was now Senior Manager of the company’s International Exploration endeavors. Esme was doing well at work, too. She was progressing up the domestic ladder.
We were more active and swam almost daily. Lady liked to help out on our laps sometimes, but typically stayed out of the pool and ran alongside barking as we did our laps. I foolishly dallied with golf. Esme took up squash and played against others in the neighborhood.
I spent a lot of money on clubs and balls. With some guys from work, I went out on weekends and gave golf balls their high-velocity freedom.
After returning from another round of losing balls, I drop my clubs in the garage and grumble my way into the house.
“Bloody stupid game.” I groused.
I see Esme sitting at the table, she had just made a fresh pot of coffee. She bade me to sit.
“Hi, hon”, She asks, “How’d it go this time?”
“I’m getting better.” I replied, “I only lost eight balls this time. Better than the twelve the time before.”
“That’s good.” She smiles, inscrutably.
“What?” I ask.
“Remember our agreement?” Es smiles.
“Yes…?” I cautiously reply.
“Well, forget it. I’m pregnant.” She smiles.
I hug the stuffing out of her, but only figuratively.
“Now, Rock. I’m no China doll.” She reminds me, “We’re going to be as careful as we can, but no chemistry, no endocrinology, no voodoo. Just Dr. Kuracisto’s normal prenatal visits and let nature take its course.”
I hug her harder.
“So it has been told, so it will be.” I remind her.
The weeks turned into months. Time trickled, sped, and tootled along of its own volition.
Esme took her maternity leave early. No need to force the issue.
I traveled to Denver, New Orleans, and Casper several times. Life proceeded to get on with getting on.
Upon returning from Corpus or Dallas, I forget which, I come home, dropped into my leather chair, and give a huge sigh. Home again, naturally.
As far as things were proceeding. So far, so good. Esme was indisposed in the euphemism at the time, so I switched on the ball game.
A few minutes later, Esme walks in and asks me if the car’s gassed up.
Thick as two short planks, I reply, “Yes, Why?”
“Rock, it’s time.” She ridiculously calmly says.
Instant panic.
We were on the road to the hospital scant minutes later. I forced myself to drive carefully, no matter how much I wanted to impersonate Big Daddy Don Garlits.
Besides, isn’t that the way? Get pulled over by a cop on the way to the hospital? Then you can chew his ass and get a free police escort?
We arrive at the hospital maternity ward and I run in to grab a nurse, doctor, orderly, janitor, anyone.
“My wife’s ready to give birth!” I yell, “We need a gurney, STAT!”
It was all for naught.
A full 36 hours and one Cesarean Section later, our daughter, Ms. Christine Steindóttir Rocknocker made her debut.
9 pounds, 14 ounces, and entirely perfect. Highest Apgar scoring marks. She actually turned herself over on the scale once I trotted her to neo-natal. Not bad for a 2-minute old.
The end of one chapter and the beginning of another. I hope the next few have slightly less drama.

Jack Johnson. The Original BMF [long]

I meant to post this sooner but life has been kicking my ass lately. The UFC recently had a special event celebrating the sport's “baddest motherfucker" I thought it would be a good opportunity to talk about the (one time) most infamous figure in combat sports. The original bad motherfucker. I hope you enjoy the brief history. If not? Well fuck your opinion; I wrote it on my phone at work.
Jack Johnson
Nature versus nurture; Is a person born great or is greatness something that is believed, conceived, then achieved? Is greatness defined by birth, death, or the period in between? John Arthur Johnson was born the child of former slaves, their third of nine. He was a man of little formal education, a luxury while there was work to be done; there was always work. By the age of sixteen he was providing for himself. A poor colored boy from Galveston, Texas in reconstruction era USA. Many would tell you that the person described above would never become a person bequeathed the title “Great". Those people never asked John Johnson. ”Gentleman Jack” Johnson was a man of many hats; the boxer, the husband, the socialite, and for the majority of his life a somewhat unwilling champion of change.
To know Jack Johnson you must first know the night. The early twentieth century was a very vibrant time in American history. A time of gambling, brothels, and nightclubs. America was home to fixers, grifters, bookies, cowboys, and “good sports". If a person had a good time in mind, they were likely to find themselves in their company. If a person was accepted by this colorful group, they would likely find themselves in the company of Jack Johnson. And here was a man that was hard to miss. listed between everywhere between 6' and 6'4; he towered over the crowd. He had a smile ready for any willing to accept one; to show off his gold-capped teeth (another accessory he popularized) as much as to be amicable. He wore the nicest clothing, drove the fastest cars, and always had a dollar ready for young servers that cross his path. In 1920 he opened “Club Deluxe” a racially inclusive nightclub in downtown Chicago; the first of it’s kind. Well read, easy going, and quick witted; even the most staunch bigot had trouble disliking him after a few drinks with the man .
He took to the nightlife like he was born with a drink in his hand and a woman on his arm but the truth was he was worlds away from his humble beginnings. A young Johnson told half of Galveston that he was going to become a great man. He didn’t know how or when, but he was destined for it. At sixteen he decided on boxing. He had his first bout while working as a longshoremen, he was paid one dollar and fifty cents. Following that; he would fight around the country, relying on the brawling style he claimed to have developed in “battle royals" a Jim Crowe era spectacle where young colored boys were blindfolded and made to fight until one remained.
His wild style served him well until he met Joe Choynski; the first true boxer Johnson would fight. Choynski knocked Johnson out in the third round, and both were promptly arrested as boxing was illegal in Texas at the time. They spent twenty three days in a cell together; in that time Choynski would turn Johnson into the greatest boxer of his era. Bobs, weaves, jabs, feints, stutter-steps, and tie-ups; we’ll never know how much he learned from the veteran, but its safe to say that Johnson left that cell a new boxer.
He would tear through anyone put before him and make them look silly for the effort. In 1903 He won the unofficial “colored" heavyweight championship. He was known by all that followed the pugilistic arts, and many that didn't. The year before he won the unofficial title he fought and embarrassed Jack Jeffries; younger brother of the true heavyweight champion, Jim Jeffries. Forced to address him. “This fellow Johnson is a fair fighter; but he is a black… the title will never go to a black man if I can help it. ” Jeffries was heard to say. This was a tradition that continued after his retirement. Several champions refused to fight Johnson and he wouldn't get his chance to fight for the title until 1908. Johnson followed the champion, Tommy Burns, around the world. Calling for a title bout in New York, London, and Paris. He would be granted his shotband win the title in Australia to the dismay of mainstream society.
The media began to call for a “Great white hope" someone who would return the title to the right hands. Johnson defeated them all. Jim Jeffries himself returned to the ring after a five year layoff; after being offered one hundred and ten thousand dollars and movie rights, over a million dollars (modern day equivalent). The bout was to take place on America’s day; The fourth of July. This fight was unlike any other; gaining attention from the federal government, it was hotly debated as to if it should take place at all. The discontent forced a move from San Francisco CA, to Reno, Nevada two weeks before it was to take place. When the dust settled Johnson remained; the undisputed lineal heavyweight champion of the world. Anywhere the fight film played soon erupted in race riots and lynch mobs.
Congress would use this as its primary cause to ban the distribution of fight film in 1912. Not long after the ban was passed Johnson would be one of the first, and most famous, victims of the newly passed MANN act. A look law passed banning the trafficking of white women for “immoral purposes”. Apparently marriage to a black man was deemed immoral. To the dismay of her family and parts of the country; his wife refused to cooperate and the case was thrown out. He was immediately brought up on new charges, this time for his relationship with a prostitutes spanning from 1909 to 1910. A relationship that concluded before the MANN act was made into law; Johnson responded fleeing the country in 1913.
Johnson would continue to defend the belt until April fifth 1915. He lost the belt to Jesse Willard in a bout boxing historians question to this day. It's correlation with his negotiations for return to the U.S. leaves many questions unanswered. He would reach a deal in 1920 and return to serve his one year sentence. He would not be pardoned until 2018, one hundred and 5 years after his wrongful sentencing. Sadly it took the election of a president with a love combat sports to right this wrong. Jack Johnson was not always a good man; in fact there were several times in his life that he crossed the line going the other direction. He was accused of abusing several women linked to him throughout his life, “fixing" fights (the practice of illegally predetermining a bout’s victor), and perhaps most damning was his own use of color to deny worthy contenders of his own race.
We can all guess as to the contents of his character but Johnson put it best when speaking to an unknown reporter. “[Whatever you write about me, remember I was a man.]” it was a humble moment from a man known to have few; legacy was secondary to him. He was a man obsessed with living life as he saw fit in a world obsessed with his color. His flashy lifestyle put him at odds with leaders of the black community namely Booker T. Washington, the United States government, and even his family. His commitment to being himself has paved the way for competitors and personalities such as Floyd “money” Mayweather, Jon Jones, Conor McGregor, Roy Jones Junior, and any number of fighters unnamed . The most famous boxer of all time, Cassius Clay otherwise known as Muhammad Ali, cites him as a childhood hero. Jack Johnson changed America’s policy and views on race permanently; inside and outside of the boxing ring. Jack Johnson was America’s first celebrity martyr in its own brand of apartheid. Jack Johnson became it’s most famous rebel when he chose to flee the country instead of bowing to oppression. Jack Johnson was the king of the boxing ring for two decades. Jack Johnson was a man.

One of the most profitable states is in Texas because it is along the Mexican border. Corrupt Texas authorities claim that the Dallas crime family is inactive however this is not the case. Even with the weakening of the Dallas crime family other mafia associates would take over this prosperous territory and they have. Joseph Civello was the top boss until the 1970’s of the Dallas Mafia sharing a similar name with the Civella crime family of Kansas City. It is the House of Torlonia that are the Princes of Civetella-Cesi similar to the name Civella which ran the Kansas City crime family. The Torlonia family own the Kansas City crime family and have part ownership over the criminal operations in Austin and Dallas. The Torlonia family are intermarried with the Spanish House of Bourbon with Princess Beatriz of Spain and Don Marco Torlonia the 6th Prince of Civitella-Cesi who died in 2014. The Bourbon family are the primary owners of the Mexican drug cartels. Don Marco’s son Prince Giovanni Torlonia is the current head of the Torlonia family along with his brother Prince Marino Torlonia. The Torlonia family’s connection with Spain is important because the Spanish House of Bourbon are the primary owners of the Mexican drug cartels and the Mexican Mafia. The Torlonia family share ownership over some criminal enterprises like the Juarez Cartel. The Italian Mafia and cartels use proxies gangs to do their dirty work like the Mexican Mafia, Aryan Brotherhood of Texas, and street gangs like MS13. Count Alessandro Lecquio-Torlonia has connections with both Spain and Italy and he is also a top member of the House of Torlonia. About a thousand years ago the Conti di Segni family settled a branch in Conty, France which merged with the Bourbons and married in with the French Savoy family branch and La Tremoille family that were the Princes of Taranto. This family moved back to Italy as the Torlonia’s becoming the Vatican’s bankers. The Conti and Contini families had ruling families in Venice as well. The Torlonia family represent the ancient Conti di Segni family and they are owners of various mafias and drug cartels and Texas and Vegas is part of their territory. Count Alessandro Lecquio- Torlonia is the primary owner of their Texan mafia operations and owner of the Juarez Cartel.
The Torlonia family are also the owners of the Pittsburgh crime family or LaRocca crime family. Their Jewish white collar criminal billionaire front man is Mark Cuban who is from Pittsburgh and he moved to Dallas and became the owner of the Dallas Mavericks. Mark Cuban is involved in ordering games to be rigged for the mafia’s fixed bets. Sports are rigged for the mafia’s bets. The Pittsburgh crime family is headed up by Thomas Ciancutti today who may have some command over the Kansas City faction. Gregorio Conti founded the Pittsburgh crime family and the Torlonia family are partly a continuation of the Conti di Segni family. Pope Innocent III or Lotario dei Conti di Segni authorized the Roman Catholic Franciscan Order and it was the Franciscan Priest Garcia de San Francisco that founded Juarez, Mexico and established the first European settlement there which is where the Juarez Cartel originated from and operates from today. Junipero Serra was also a Franciscan priest who helped establish settlements in Tijuana where the Tijuana Cartel operates from. The House of Torlonia launder their criminal profits from their American crime families and Mexican drug cartels in Las Vegas casinos. The word casino is an Italian term derived from the noble families running gambling events out of their casas or houses. The Torlonia family are owners of the Franciscan Order and Juarez is their territory since their Franciscans founded its first European settlement. The Torlonia family are part owners of the Juarez Cartel and their fascist La Linea death squads. The Boncompagni-Ludovisi family of Rome are also part owners in the mafia’s Texas operations specifically in Austin and the Dallas crime family is still in operation managed by Civella associates and other various crime families. The Boncompagni family own the Bonanno crime family which were allied with the Cerrito crime family and I believe they covertly moved to Austin, Texas. Bon-Compagni means Good Fellows a term for made men in the mafia. Prince Nicolo Boncompagni of Rome is the head of this princely family and is married to Rita Jenrette of Texas. The Sforza-Cesarini family has married with the Velasco noble family of Spain with Don Guillermo Maria Miguel Fernandez of Velasco and Balfe married to Princess Carolina Sforza-Cesarini. Velasco, Texas is named after a Mexican General and relative of the Velasco family which ruled as Dukes in Spain. Luis de Velasco was the Viceroy of New Spain ruling from Mexico City. The Fertittas with Tilman Fertitta who is worth over 4 billion own the Houston Rockets. James Harden plays for the Rockets and is a mafia agent of Tilman Fertitta who runs a large gang of violent stalkers. Tilman Fertitta and James Harden are ruthlessly evil.
Las Vegas is a Spanish word and means “the meadows.” Vegas was Spanish-Mexican territory before it became part of the United States and was likely named in honor of the Vega family of Spain represented today by Inigo of Arteaga and Martin the XXVIII Lord of the House of La Vega. I believe Caesars’ Palace hotel and casino in Vegas is named in honor of the Sforza-Cesarini family. The mafias are involved in most casinos in the United States and use them for money laundering and gambling rackets using fixed bets and rigged slot machines. The Jesuit Xavier University educated James Zenni Jr. is a founder and owner of Z Capital Group which owns Affinity Gaming with casinos in Vegas including Silver Sevens Casino. The Black Nobility and Ferrari family have the Eldorado Resorts owned by their Carano family agents which also own Ferrari-Carano vineyards and winery. Eldorado Resorts owns various casinos through out the United States including the Isle of Capri in Kansas City. Gary Carano is the head of this family with his sister Cindy Carano and wife Dana Carano. The owners of mafias use their influence to prop up businessmen who then covertly work with and enable mafias. MGM was established by the Pallavicini front man Kirk Kerkorian who also built Caesars Palace. MGM is headed up by CEO James Murren who received a Trinity College grant for Cesare Barbieri Center to conduct research in Rome, Italy. The Melzi family are the Dukes of Lodi today and they possessed the Villa Melzi d’Eril in Bellagio, Italy currently owned by the Gallarati Scotti family through their marriage with the Melzi d’Eril family. Bellagio, Italy gives the name to the Bellagio hotel and casino in Vegas. Don Pedro Enriquez d’Azevedo and Toledo of Spain was Governor of Milan and appointed Luigi Melzi as Lieutenant Royal and granted them a fiefdom in Magenta, Italy. Duke Benigno Melzi d’Eril is the current head of this family. Excalibur Hotel and Casino is owned by MGM and takes its name from the Legend of Arthur in British mythology. The Wellesley family are British peers and were also granted titles of Dukes of Ciudad Rodrigo, Spain for fighting against the French for the Spanish Crown. Arthur Charles Valerian Wellesley, 9th Duke of Wellington and his son Arthur Wellesley, Earl of Mornington are the heads of this family and both taking the name Arthur like the King Arthur who wielded the sword Excalibur. Oscar Goodman is a mafia lawyer that defended Meyer Lansky, Nicky Scarfo, and Frank Rosenthal. Oscar Goodman was also the former mayor of Las Vegas from 1999 to 2011. Meyer Lansky III is the grandson of Lansky and he operates in Vegas today as a top Jewish mobster in the US. Oscar Goodman's wife Carolyn Goodman is the current mayor of Las Vegas. The Goodmans are criminal associates of Cosa Nostra and have been governing Las Vegas from 1999 up till today.
