There Was Fifteen Years of Peace Following the End of The Vietnam War. WE WOKE UP! Americans Refused to Participate in Bogus Wars for Corporate Profit.

There Was Fifteen Years of Peace Following the End of The Vietnam War. WE WOKE UP! Americans Refused to Participate in Bogus Wars for Corporate Profit.

Since 1945, The US Military Has Never Defended the USA. NOT EVEN ONCE. All of Our Wars have been Marketing to Sell Weapons for the Military Industrial Complex. 

Who REALLY Won the Vietnam War? Dow Chemical and Hughes Aircraft... They Sold Napalm, Agent Orange and Helicopters...

A Brief History of the Vietnam War. 58,000 Americans Died for Nothing... Something They Don't Teach in School Now... "Too Controversial" - During the 1950s Americans went into a Mad Panic about Communists taking over the world.
During the height of this hysteria Vice President Richard Nixon went on Television and explained "the Domino Principle" while pointing to a map of Asia. CRAZY TALK!

Looking Back it's Obvious that the Vietnam War was an Astonishingly Stupid Idea... BUT... At The Time... Many People Thought It was Wonderful... Remember that The CIA Had Perfected Brainwashing and Over Half of the Country was in a Mind Control Twilight Zone... Robots that would Do What They Were Told To Do Without Question... Thankfully, These Anti-War Protest Leaders Helped Americans WAKE THE F*CK UP and Notice Reality... and as we all found out eventually, Being "Woke" is an Excellent Way to Live...

Interesting book: Autobiography of David Gilbert of SDS and The Weather Underground...

It Documents the anti Vietnam War protests from Columbia University to a nationwide movement. Students for a Democratic Society. "You don't need to be a weatherman to know which way the wind blows" Lyric by Bob Dylan. He also explores what they did after the Vietnam War was over. Basically, they took a year off and got jobs... then continued the revolutionary struggle to liberate the peasants... and the proletariat... they were in love with the philosophy of Marx and Lenin. I never was impressed with Karl and Vladimir but was totally impressed with Groucho and John. ALL HAIL MARX-LENNON!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weatherman_(organization)

After resurfacing above ground and having all charges dropped, Gilbert had a child with Kathy Boudin and they were building a family... Then he decided to team up with the Black Liberation Army and work on the problem of racism. The BLA and Gilbert's Weatherman friends robbed a Brink's truck stealing millions of dollars and Killing Four People. This got Gilbert a very long sentence in NY prison.

Hey Farmers! Simply Grow Your Cannabis OUTDOORS IN THE FREE SUNSHINE and There is NO Need for Electric Grow Lights. That Electricity Has To Come from SOMEWHERE... Causing Pollution... Causing Climate Change...

Coal Burning Power Plants, Nukes, Biomass, Natural Gas... And They All Cause Pollution... There Already Exists a Perfect Light Source Designed to Use The Photosynthesis That Evolved in Plants over Billions of Years! USE IT!   https://phys.org/news/2021-03-insatiable-demand-cannabis-giant-carbon.html

HEADLINE: Arcata Bottom mega-grow in the works.

https://madriverunion.com/arcata-bottom-mega-grow-in-the-works/

Arcata Land Company, LLC, an entity controlled by Lane Devries of Sun Valley Floral Farm, is seeking county approval for a 38-acre cannabis cultivation operation on two parcels located between 27th Street and Foster Avenue (see map). 

According to an Initial Study filed with the county, the area is zoned Heavy Industrial with a Qualified Combining Zone, the new project involves only cultivation. Processing of the cannabis would be conducted at an already-approved processing, manufacturing, and distribution facility located to the north.

Cultivation will take place in four areas totaling about 22.9 acres. Some 6.2 acres of existing hoop structures will be converted from flower production to cannabis. About 16.7 acres of new hoop houses will be set up in the northeast and southwest areas of the property.

Yet another one gets cancelled - PepĂ© Le Pew will be no longer - part of the purge of most everything - well just everything as 99% of everything has now become offensive to someone.  Such a shame- I am sure that purple dinosaur of our kids admiration will be soon as well. And most of the muppets as well... 

I Responded: "Everybody" Has Become WHINERS... BOO HOO... "Wah, You Giys are Being So Mean." The Only People It's Safe to Satirize are Straight White Men... all those "Others" are CRYBABIES...

It's Just a Cartoon... What about the Itchy and Scratchy Show? Where is Your Contrived Outrage? HUH? Why Not Censor the SIMPSONS?

EVERYBODY BOYCOTT The Second Longest Running Show on TV... Gunsmoke had 635 Episodes - It's #1... a Show Glorifying Violence using GUNS! 

and Then "Someone" Posted: Gregory simmer down snowflake.

And I Replied: Don't Insult me with Your Hate Speech... "I'm Mad as Hell and I'm Not Gonna Take It Anymore." I Recommend They Censor "Gone With The Wind" because Butterfly McQueen "Miss Scarlet, I Don't Know Nothing bout Birthing Babies." - Is Insulting... So Authentic... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qy90YiCon3M

If we are Going to Cancel Bad Roll Models... What about The Movie "The Rock" with Sean Connery, Nicholas Cage and Ed Harris... Vietnam Vets Suffering because of No Pensions for Black Ops... It Glorifies Violence as a Way to Solve Problems... and It Makes a Criminal Look Like a Hero... and Sean Connery was NOT a Great Father!

Interesting Documentary. "ANGRY PLANET - BURNING AUSTRALIA" People are BUILDING HOUSES UNDERGROUND TO AVOID THE HEAT AND WILDFIRES... Smart!

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4581210/

Will climate change make Australia uninhabitable? What About The Rest of the World? We Are Already Experiencing Wildfires in ALL of the Western USA...

In this movie... they Follow storm chaser George Kourounis as he explores the now brutal Australian summer and imbeds with the firefighters battling one of the biggest bushfires in recent years.

We Need A LOT MORE Fire Fighting Helicopters and Airplanes. Simply Bring them Home From Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria. Behave SMART, Government!

We need to defend the USA from Wildfires. Every Year there will be fires in Colorado, Oregon, Washington and California... the entire West is Burning... and our Soldiers are Wasting their Time fighting a war that cannot be won for people that do not want us there. Bring 'em Home. I feel certain that the Soldiers would rather be home fighting fires that threaten their families and friends...

Imagine if we had a Thousand Helicopters dipping water from Oroville Lake and dumping it on Paradise. That would have saved lives and houses.
CDF Helicopter Dipping Water For Fighting Forest Fire

Adobe Houses are Very Energy Efficient and Quiet. Thick Mud Walls stay Cool in the Summer, Warm in the Winter. AND THEY RESIST FOREST FIRES...

When we rebuild Paradise and Santa Rosa, California it might be an Opportunity to Use Smart Design Ideas. I remember going inside the Mission Santa Clara on a Hot Summer Day... Built over 200 years ago, it has withstood Earthquakes.

Solar Powered Street Lights Would Save a LOT of Electricity Currently Being Generated in Coal, Natural Gas and Atomic Power Plants and Distributed Using the Grid. WASTEFUL and DANGEROUS... POWER LINES CAUSE FOREST FIRES.

Nothing NEW Needs to Be Invented... We Ought to Simply Replace the Millions of Old Style Street Lights... With Solar Cells and LED Lamps... The Concept of Generating Power in One Central Location and Distributing it to the User is Quite Wasteful... Some Electricity JUST VANISHES over the Long Distance... and DANGEROUS because the Wires Start Forest Fires... PG&E Power Company Just Burned the Entire Town Of Paradise, CA... and It Caused the Company to Go Bankrupt. Distributing Power From a Central Generator is an Obsolete Idea. What if Every House had Solar Panels on the Roof That Provided Enough Electricity to UNPLUG FROM THE GRID...

Commercial Solar LED Street Lighting: THERE ARE MANY MANUFACTURERS...   HERE IS ONE...

and Here are another DOZEN...

Lighting for Streets and Roadways Provided by Sustainable Solar Power... SEPCO’s solar powered street lighting systems are an efficient means to provide lighting without the need for standard utility power. Every system provides cost savings by eliminating the need to trench standard electric wires for installation and providing no electric bill for the life of the system. Solar street lights have been installed on highways, freeways, neighborhood streets, rural roads, etc. and provide security, sustainability and an overall green image.

Mr. Natural Says: "HI... Thank God for people like You!! The Few Humans with Intellectual Curiosity...

The Few who Aspire after High Ideals! I'm filled with Gratitude that You Exist! ... Because, as you well know, We are a Thinly Scattered, Tiny Minority, Surrounded by Hordes of Gross Barbarians! Ours is the Path Less Travelled, and so I say to YOU, Dear Friend, Keep Up the Struggle for Truth and Greater Awareness!" -Robert Crumb
