The 1950s... a Time When a High School Graduate Could get a Job that would Pay for a House, a House Wife, a Car and Kids...

DON'T CUT OFF YOUR NOSE TO SPITE YOUR FACE
A vote for the GOP is a vote
for you, your family,
and everyone you know,
to be enslaved,
to be subjugated,
to be suppressed,
by a ruthless autocracy,
a tyrant,
a dictator.
A vote for GOP,
until the grip of Trumpism (aka Putinism) is lifted from the radical right and they come back from mass delusion,
is a vote
AGAINST
Democracy,
Freedom,
Liberty,
and all our Rights.
A vote for GOP,
because you’re pissed that prices are going up
in a world wide wave of inflation,
caused by PUTIN’s evil war against democracy,
is in fact handing power
over your life
and your freedom
to election deniers
drunk on mass delusions and
fantasy conspiracy theories.
If you can’t be bothered to vote at all,
that is in fact an action in itself,
in support of
a GOP dictatorship,
which may
destroy our democracy,
our freedoms,
and our way of life.
REGRET is a horrible thing.
Don’t risk living the rest of your life with the deep regret that
if only I had voted
against GOP autocrats,
if only I had convinced and supported more democracy-loving friends and family of the urgency to vote this year,
to keep our freedoms,
that we would not have
lost it all.
2020 was the most important vote in our lifetime,
to remove a dictator in the making, while we still had the right to vote,
but even then,
on Jan 6th,
the mass deluded radical right
still tried
and came close
to taking it all away from us.
2022 is the next test of our resolve
to remain Free,
to remain a democracy.
What is your
Freedom and Liberty
worth to you?
VOTE, VOTE, VOTE
VOTE to keep our
freedom and democracy
WHAT WILL YOU DO?

DEMOCRATIC POLICIES QUITE POPULAR, GOP NARROWMINDEDNESS, GREED APPALL MOST AMERICANS: SO LET'S KEEP THE FOCUS ON THE ISSUES
By HEATHER COX RICHARDSON
October 18, 2022 (Tuesday)
In their year and a half in power, Democrats have put in place policies that are widely popular—indeed, the infrastructure projects provided for under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Act are so popular that Republicans who voted against the law are nonetheless taking credit for them. Voters have long called for Medicare to be able to negotiate drug prices with pharmaceutical companies (83% in favor), now made possible by the Inflation Reduction Act, which also caps certain drug expenses, including the cost of insulin. Between 80 and 90% of Americans want basic gun control laws—the Democrats just passed the first one in decades—and a majority want funding for action against climate change (65%) and relief for educational debt (55%).
Support for supplying Ukraine against Russia stands at 73%, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll taken in early October. Support for Ukraine was a bipartisan commitment that changed only after Trump had the 2016 Republican platform, which had expressed support for Ukraine, watered down.
What has not been popular in the past year and a half, in fact, what has been quite unpopular, is the Supreme Court decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health, overturning the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision legalizing abortion. About 62% of Americans believe abortion should be legal in all or most cases, while only 8% believe it should be illegal in all cases, and 28% believe it should be illegal in most cases.
Since June, when the Supreme Court handed down the Dobbs decision, the news has reported multiple cases of raped children unable to obtain abortions in their home states, girls and women unable to obtain medications to treat long-term illnesses because those drugs can also induce abortion, women diagnosed with cancer who cannot get treatment, women whose fetuses have conditions incompatible with life and who cannot terminate the pregnancy, and women whose health is at risk as they are unable to obtain the healthcare they need as they are miscarrying—all of this just as abortion rights advocates warned would happen if the court overturned Roe v. Wade. Since the Dobbs decision, Democrats have outperformed expectations in four special House elections and one state referendum.
The popularity of the Democrats’ agenda and the unpopularity of their own appear to have pushed the Republicans to go for broke, courting their base by demanding the utter destruction of Democrats’ policies and the reinstatement of their own.
Since the 1980s, Republican leaders have embraced the idea that cutting taxes and concentrating wealth at the top of the economy will spark economic growth, although “supply side” economics has never produced as promised. They insist the programs Biden and the Democrats back are “socialism,” and their base agrees. Their base also hates abortion rights.
To sidestep the gulf between their base and the majority of voters, Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) declined to announce any sort of an agenda before the midterm elections, telling donors that party leaders would just attack the Democrats.
There have been signs, though, of what the Republicans will do if they regain control of one or both of the houses of Congress, and top of the list was cutting the programs at the heart of our social welfare system: Social Security and Medicare. Senator Rick Scott (R-FL) called for sunsetting all laws every five years and repassing them; Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI) called for making Social Security and Medicare part of the discretionary budget, meaning their funding would have to be reapproved every year.
Republicans have also said they would pass a law to make the 2017 Trump tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations permanent, a move economists say would increase inflation. “The trick is to put the president in a position of either getting defeated in 2024 or signing your stuff into law,” former House speaker Newt Gingrich told Jeff Stein of the Washington Post. “Republicans will make it a priority to continue the Trump tax cuts, because it puts the Democrats in a position of being for tax increases and against economic growth.”
Recently, though, Republicans have been much clearer, warning that they will refuse to raise the debt ceiling in order to force Biden to agree to their demands to “reform” Social Security and Medicare by raising the age of eligibility and means testing. (Democrats have said they would stabilize the programs with higher taxes on the wealthy.)
This is a huge deal. While Trump has urged MAGA Republicans in the past to use the threat of the debt ceiling to get concessions, responsible Republicans have refused to play chicken with the global financial markets and with our own financial future, for defaulting even for a matter of hours will wash away our financial might. Raising the debt ceiling is not a future blank check, it enables the U.S. to meet bills it has already incurred, and refusing to do so will throw the U.S. into a catastrophic default. Congress has raised the debt ceiling repeatedly in the past forty years, but Republicans have apparently come around to Trump’s position that playing to their base is worth taking the U.S. hostage.
Republicans are also signaling a change in U.S. support for Ukraine. Although current Republican leaders have supported aid to Ukraine, House minority leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) suggested today that if the Republicans regain the majority thanks to more MAGA candidates, they will oppose giving more aid to Ukraine in the war with Russia. Putin has just launched the largest wave of airstrikes against Ukraine since the early days of the war, hitting civilian areas with the plan to cut off gas and electricity before the winter.
And, of course, after the Supreme Court justified striking down Roe v. Wade by saying abortion should be a state decision, Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) introduced a bill to ban abortion nationally. (Today, Biden pledged to push a law protecting abortion rights if voters return the few more lawmakers Democrats need to accomplish that.)
Republicans have sold their unpopular program in part by maintaining a narrative vision of the world that tells MAGA supporters what they want to hear. Since the beginning of Trump’s term, a key part of that narrative has been that the FBI investigation of the ties between the 2016 Trump campaign and Russian operatives was a witch hunt. In April 2019, Trump's attorney general William Barr tapped U.S. attorney John Durham to discredit that investigation.
Journalist and professor Bill Grueskin collected the headlines from the Wall Street Journal’s editorial page for the past year. They read: “Durham Cracks the Russia Case,” “Durham Delivers on Russiagate,” “John Durham Shows How the FBI Lets Its Informants Mislead It,” and so on.
But that’s not how it panned out. Durham ultimately indicted three men. One pleaded guilty to altering an email in a different case; he got probation. Durham accused another of lying to the FBI; a jury acquitted him. Durham indicted a third, Igor Danchenko, for lying to the FBI; today a jury acquitted him as well. Durham used the trial to rail against the FBI, but his inability to win a conviction after more than three years of work undermines the MAGA narrative that Durham was going to find the goods to pin a witch hunt on bad FBI agents and acquit Trump once and for all.
A new audiobook from veteran journalist Bob Woodward tore down another MAGA story today when it revealed an audiotape of Trump calling the letters he wrote to North Korean leader Kim Jong Un “top secret” in January 2021. Clearly, he knew they were classified, despite his claims now that he didn’t take anything special. Further, he let Woodward see and transcribe the classified documents.
Will the puncturing of these narratives matter? At some level, no; they are about mythmaking and social identity. Today, Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) celebrated her visit to the Wilder Monument at the Chickamauga (she misspelled it) battlefield in Georgia. She identified the monument as honoring Confederate soldiers and boasted that she “will always defend our nation’s history.” But, in fact, the Wilder Brigade, also known as the Lightning Brigade, was not Confederate; it was from the United States.
The point, though, was likely not accuracy: it was to “own” the “Libs” by celebrating the Confederacy.
Will reinforcing that identity for the Republican base be enough for the party to win the midterms? It’s anyone’s guess. But today, the first day of early voting in Georgia smashed the state’s previous record for first-day votes cast in a midterm election. In 2018 the first day of voting brought in 71,000 voters. Today that number hit more than 130,000.

Fake Animation of a UFO Flying out of the Water
at Trinidad, California

What I really like is watching many episodes in a row... It puts me in a Hypnotic Trance... So Far I have not contacted any Aliens Myself but... one time I was driving home from work in Northern Virginia and I saw TWO Lights in the Sky at Sunset... I chased the lights and when I got near , I got out of the car and... Heard the motorcycle engine... so disappointing... someone had installed a propeller and an engine to a hang glider and what I saw was two automobile headlights.

One of my co-workers' Father saw a UFO. He worked as a pilot and reported an unidentifiable object in the sky... he filed a report with the FAA and they filed the report... and... nothing happened. I assume that there are thousands of reports... but... what can anyone really do about them?

On the TV News I saw a real ufo as viewed on the cockpit display and... millions of people saw that report... but... once again, nothing really happened... no mass panic...

Science Fiction Themes in Rock Music Lyrics: Wooden Ships, After the Gold Rush, Longer Boats are coming.

It is very difficult to write a song about UFOs or a Post Apocalypse Techno Industrial Wasteland but Cat Stevens, Neil Young, Bowie and Paul Kantner have done it well.

What are those songs about anyway? Some lyrics have been debated for decades... here is my interpretation.

Wooden Ships tells the story of two people from opposite sides of a war that become friends and survive due to cooperation. After an Atomic War, food is often radioactive... so the sharing of purple berries makes the difference... the survival of the human race. Lucky for us, this song was recorded by BOTH the Jefferson Airplane and Crosby Stills and Nash. Done during the time they all worked in the Mansion on Fulton Street. The house had a recording studio in the basement... and was THE SCENE.

After the Gold Rush is about putting people on ships to colonize space. Still a worthy goal.

So is Longer Boats. (UFOs).

MKULTRA: was a CIA Mind Control Project in the USA during the 1950's and 1960's. They were looking for a way to use drugs as weapons of war. For example: LSD as a truth serum to aid in interrogation or as a way to simply get the "enemy" to lay down their arms, voluntarily... like, too stoned to fight...

The project conducted tests on college students at Stanford University. Ken Kesey and Robert Hunter both volunteered to eat LSD and other mind control drugs and report on the effects. Later, Ken started having "ACID TEST" parties where the participants took LSD and danced to the Music of the Grateful Dead. Robert Hunter wrote lyrics for the Dead.

Just co-incidence?
      or were "the sixties"
             a CIA experiment to just see what happens if MILLIONS of people took LSD?

HEADLINE: The true story of Michel Foucault's LSD trip that changed history.

So taken was he by the atmosphere of liberation in San Francisco that he contemplated emigrating and becoming a Californian. It seems then that Foucault fell in love with California. It was there that the austere anti-humanist thinker of the 1960s, who had proclaimed the "death of man" in open hostility to Jean-Paul Sartre's philosophy of freedom, would experiment during the final decade of his life with new forms of relating to others and inventing oneself in the S/M clubs of San Francisco.

It was there also that he might be said to have become the "last man" to take LSD.

He had been preceded by Timothy Leary, Aldous Huxley, R.D. Laing, Allen Ginsberg, The Beatles and many others. Dropping acid was a headline experience of the youth counter-culture of the late '60s in California. Between 1964 and 1966, the writer Ken Kesey and his gang of "Merry Pranksters" travelled across the United States on a psychedelic bus, stopping regularly to throw LSD parties. These "acid tests" would be one pathway from the Beat Generation to the hippie movement in the years to come. No doubt LSD and other "psychedelic" drugs would continue to be used, with varying and sometimes greater prevalence, but never again would LSD, and the experience it afforded, come to define culture, art, fashion and style in general as it did in the late 1960s. https://www.salon.com/2021/03/13/the-true-story-of-michel-foucaults-lsd-trip-that-changed-history/
