The Deaths in 2013 lists under October 27th:
Before I continue you need to understand a bit about our family. Cathy and I have been "same sex" partners for over 21 years, and during that time we raised three children. When we first met, Cathy's son was 11, my daughter 12 and son 13 years of age. It wasn't easy for any of us at that time, butt with that said there were rewards, the most important being to watch our children grow up with healthy open minds... minds that were fully aware of hateful prejudices and ignorance of so many in society, and because of this they learned to choose their circle of friends wisely.
Cathy's son Gillman has temporarily returned to live with us in Prospect, with his partner and step daughter remaining in Alberta since the research position he has just taken on at nearby Dalhousie University, is only temporary. Gillman has a Doctorate in Philosophy of Math and Science, and so whenever he's around, the conversation is always... well how can I put it... "electric". He's a wealth of information, butt since he and I are similar in personality... and being both opinionated, we sometimes lock horns, butt we have come to understand and respect each other over the years and for the most part, I deeply admire the fine young adult that Gill has become... as I do my own children.
So, while at the supper table, the conversation began with a topic on rational and irrational behavior (from the Philosopher perspective), to which I then bring up Giordano Bruno and Galileo -- both having defended controversial discoveries during their time (mid 1500's), with the exception being that Bruno didn't recant and so was burned at the stake, whereas Galileo recanted and simply got house arrest. So my question to Gillman and Cath: was Bruno irrational?! Gillman responded by saying... well, Bruno didn't recant... and so was killed, whereas Galileo recanted ... was put under house arrest and went on to write another book. So, Bruno was irrational because he didn't recant and given the circumstances. It's a hard pill to swallow, butt I understand Gillman's point. One would think that the truth will prevail, and it seems to in the long run, however society is often nott open to the truth at the moment it occurs like a slap in the face... and society has a vicious desire to protect it's soft underbelly and so often reacts before rethinking and reevaluating their preconceived notions and beliefs in light of new discovery. Fear and Pride is the order of our day even today as countless controversial truths have washed under the bridge and are now widely accepted by society... that is as long as society feels secure and has no need for a scape goat (such as persecuting/robbing the wealthy Jews of Hitler's Germany). The bullies of the world are always looking for ways to fill their coiffures if they're getting low.
The dinner conversation then turned to the "gay issue", with Gillman informing us that two of his friends have "crossed over"-- as in meaning they have changed their sex from male to female, and somewhere during this conversation, I raised the question of the "gay Maffia", to which Gillman responded with... yes it does exist, it's called the "Velvet Mafia". The conversation ended with my relating a particular lesbians response to the issue of "coming out", saying -- I would never come out to the general public... even though it "seems" acceptable, because I don't trust that the tables wouldn't turn-- the Hitler's of the world simply encouraging us out in the open for the purpose of having a "visible" minority that they can then prey on. Like Hitler, certain powers that be have money to fuel the propaganda hate machine, that can easily reignite old feelings of prejudice and hate whenever they feel the need... for the purpose of exploitation. Keep in mind that Jews were a wealthy segment of the German population and so removing them freed up wealth that could then be distributed to others ... namely the Nazi coiffures.
The irony of the comment from our lesbian friend, is that she's the most masculine looking woman I have ever met... she has a 5 o'clock shadow for cripes sake... so who is she kidding?! If ruthless "Powers that Bee" want to target a minority group, they know how to sniff them out... every one!!
So now getting back to the "Velvet Mafia" that cropped up in our dinner conversation, what are the chances of just a couple of days later, Lou Reed, the person who wrote the song "The Velvet Underground", passing away?! This is no coincidence!! The question then is, why would the inner twin lead us down this road... why did Reed's inner twin influence their "timely" conjoined death?!
Note this section from Reed's wiki page:
Lou Reed, 71, American rock musician (The Velvet Underground) and songwriter ("Walk on the Wild Side"), liver disease.[7]Even though his surname is an addition to the earlier "Reed/Read/Reid/Red..." pattern-cluster, what stands out even more is "The Velvet Underground". Believe it or nott, the topic of the "Velvet Maffia" came up at our dinner table a couple nights before Lou Reed's passing.

Note this section from Reed's wiki page:
Having learned to play the guitar from the radio, he developed an early interest in rock and roll and rhythm and blues, and during high school played in a number of bands.[13] His first recording was as a member of a doo wop-style group called The Jades. In 1956, Reed, who was bisexual,[14] received electroconvulsive therapy as a teenager, which was intended to cure his bisexuality; he wrote about the experience in his 1974 song, "Kill Your Sons."[15][16]In an interview, Reed said of the experience:
We have a long hard way to go in our world... a long hard rocky way. If and when the inner twin world decide to come out and communicate to us in a "profoundly obvious" way (other than under the radar/gaydar as they are doing now), then the new way they point out will be exceedingly shorter and much less rock. I expect that their intention is to bring our outer world to the point where the greater world comes to understand the futility of our present situation, to which they will come forward with their much shorter and easier way... at which time our outer world will then bee so very thankful... and not so quick to go to arms at the new truth that would otherwise appear so threatening to the prejudice and ignorant lot that our outer world tends to be."They put the thing down your throat so you don't swallow your tongue, and they put electrodes on your head. That's what was recommended in Rockland County to discourage homosexual feelings. The effect is that you lose your memory and become a vegetable. You can't read a book because you get to page 17 and have to go right back to page one again."
