What Has Killed More Americans Than World War One, Vietnam, 9/11 and Charles Manson Combined? - tRUMPs Coronavirus - DO THE MATH!

What Has Killed More Americans Than World War One, Vietnam, 9/11 and Charles Manson Combined? - tRUMPs Coronavirus - DO THE MATH!
DO THE MATH!

FREE JULIAN ASSANGE: He was arrested for REPORTING about the US Military Murdering Civilians in Iraq. The people that ACTUALLY COMMITTED THE MURDERS have NOT been arrested. That's Backwards!

 And now the US Government has dusted off "Espionage Act" Laws [over a Hundred Years Old] to Charge him. The Espionage Act was written to force Americans to go Fight in World War One. At that time most Americans did not want to go all the way over to EUROPE to fight in SOMEONE ELSE'S WAR... Most Americans lived on Farms and Young Men were needed to do work and harvest the crops. No time or enthusiasm to go Halfway around the world to die. 

Why do American Laws Apply to Julian Assange at all? Wikileaks started in ICELAND and has Offices in Sweden... SO... How do USA Laws Apply? FREE JULIAN ASSANGE... FREEDOM OF THE PRESS IS IMPORTANT.


WikiLeaks is an international non-profit organisation that publishes news leaks,[5] and classified media provided by anonymous sources.[6] Its website, initiated in 2006 in Iceland by the organisation Sunshine Press,[7] claimed in 2016 to have released online 10 million documents in its first 10 years.[8] Julian Assange, an Australian Internet activist, is generally described as its founder and director.[9] Since September 2018, Kristinn Hrafnsson has served as its editor-in-chief.[10][11]

I'm reading a Historical Novel about World War One... a subject I know very little about. "To The Last Man" by Jeff Shaara...

One thing I DO know about WW1 is that the US Government started "The Draft" in order to get Americans to participate... At that time, most people worked on Family Farms and Teenage Men were needed to survive as a farm family... Most people had no interest in what was happening in Europe... and certainly, no way were they going to have their Men dying for no reason... So the US Government FORCED Men into the Army... with The Draft... and we drafted Soldiers all the way up until the end of the Vietnam War... 

WW1 had an effect in Russia as the Successful Revolution happened right after the end of the war...1917... 

I just saw the Movie about the 1905 Revolution that did not succeed... Battleship Potemkin... with Abstract Russian music and the Staircase Mass Murder in Odessa... Classic Silent Film... 



https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battleship_Potemkin  Three symphonies from Dmitri Shostakovich have been used, with No. 5, beginning and ending the film, being the most prominent. and this is some REALLY BIZARRE MUSIC... Like Frank Zappa...




Great Book: A People's History of the United States by Howard Zinn. Labor Union Strugglers - Class War - IWW

Since its original landmark publication in 1980, A People's History of the United States has been chronicling American history from the bottom up, throwing out the official version of history taught in schools—with its emphasis on great men in high places—to focus on the street, the home, and the, workplace.

Known for its lively, clear prose as well as its scholarly research, A People's History of the United States is the only volume to tell America's story from the point of view of—and in the words of—America's women, factory workers, African-Americans, Native Americans, the working poor, and immigrant laborers. As historian Howard Zinn shows, many of our country's greatest battles—the fights for a fair wage, an eight-hour workday, child-labor laws, health and safety standards, universal suffrage, women's rights, racial equality—were carried out at the grassroots level, against bloody resistance.

Covering Christopher Columbus's arrival through President Clinton's first term, A People's History of the United States, which was nominated for the American Book Award in 1981, features insightful analysis of the most important events in our history.

Casualties of American Soldiers reduced dramatically during my lifetime. War is simply not fashionable anymore.

When the US Government tells you to go fight pointless wars, Decline. Be Disobedient, It Might Save Your Life.
US War Casualties

Revolution=25,000
Civil War=750,000,
WW1=116,000,
WW2=405,000,
Korea=36,000,
Vietnam 58,000

about 7,000 total in all the recent wars:
Panama, Nicaragua, Gulf War, Iraq and Afghanistan.

Not Shown is the Unknown Quantity of Soldier Suicides.

Since 1975 war has changed... many wars, few Americans Die...
Now with DRONES... we can commit genocide from an office in the USA.

Here is a Revelation told to me by a Vietnam Veteran friend. It was not his fault that his men died in combat. It was JFK and LBJ that put them in harm's way. If we had not gone halfway around the world to fight someone else's civil war, those men would be alive. This understanding helped with my friend's PTSD.

One thing I learned from the book "Will" by Gordon Liddy. He states that we could have won the Vietnam War if we had simply ATTEMPTED to win. Gordon was shy about stating exactly what it would mean to Attempted to win but... I believe what he was hinting at was... an Atomic Bomb on Hanoi... we had the technology and we knew exactly what worked... Hiroshima and Nagasaki... but we did not actually try to win. Many believe that the Vietnam War was really the USA vs China... and the Vietnamese may not have surrendered after Nuking Hanoi... so If we REALLY wanted to win we would have also had to Nuke Beijing. However, the Mission was to sell a lot of weapons to the pentagon. Corporate Profit. Monsanto and Dow Chemical sold a lot of Agent Orange... and Hughes Aircraft sold Helicopters... as he sang... "There's plenty good money to be made, supplying the Army with the Tools of the Trade" - Country Joe McDonald.

I'm Reading a sequel to 'Ender's Game' by Orson Scott Card. This book is Great! 'Ender in Exile' ... Two (2) predictions of his that came true already.
1. We would Fight War by Remote Control... like a Video Game... like DRONES... 2. Ender's brother and sister publish thoughtful essays on the 'net' as 'Locke' and 'Demosthenes' and influence public opinion and therefore political policy... kinda like Huffington Post, anonymous, online Cannabis Activists or Cop Block... self appointed sages online... Me too...


"Never has so much Military, Economic and Diplomatic Power been Used so ineffectively as in Vietnam. If after all of this time and all of this sacrifice and all of this support there is still no end in sight, then I say the time has come for the American People to turn to new leadership, not tied to the policies and mistakes of the past. I pledge to you we will have an honorable end to the War in Vietnam." - Richard Nixon Television Advertisement

We have to thank President Nixon for ending the Vietnam War. He Campaigned on Ending the war and KEPT HIS PROMISE!

Nixon's Idea was Vietnamization of the War. Simply put, Let those people over there fight their own civil war... It's really none of our business.

Our DNA is evolving every generation... Not Just Physically but also Spiritually... By studying the mistakes my parents and grandparents made, I can recognise them and not repeat them... And this is not just me... 
Everyone Worldwide is Moving Forward to a Bright Future... 

Think Back to The Dark Days of the Past...
My Uncle, A Korean War Veteran Said: "In My Day, When the Government Told You to Go to War, You Just Went." Well, those Days are Gone. Since Vietnam, No One is Told to Go Fight Wars Anywhere... It's All Volunteers... 

Once Upon a time, "The Numbers Games" were Illegal Gambling... 
And The Mafia ran it...
Now we have the Lottery, Run by the State 
and the Crime of Illegal Gambling Magically Vanished.
Zero Tax Dollars are Spent on Enforcing 
The Laws Prohibiting The Illegal "Numbers Games".

Once Upon a Time, Homosexuality Was Illegal.
And there was a Lot of Tax Dollars Spent
Enforcing The Laws... Police would
send undercover agents to hang around
men's bathrooms to catch Gay Men...  
Really! They were called the Vice Squad.

A Hobby of Mine... Distributing Truth on Facebook...

Fact: JFK and LBJ have the blood of Vietnam on their hands... It was Nixon that ended the war. His policy of "Vietnamization" makes so much sense... Those people over there ought to fight their own civil war... It's none of our Business.

VK: OK, who hacked into Greg's FB and is writing like a revisionist Republican? Are you saying my first teenage vote to re-elect Nixon was the historically correct action? NROTC boy done good?

Greg Vanderlaan: I read a lot of history books, VK and while Richard Nixon campaigned against the war in Vietnam in 1968 he didn't actually end it until 1973... so he had 5 years of blood on his hands too... When we got to vote in 1972, both candidates were against the war... An insightful book is 'Will' by G. Gordon Liddy... and ALL of Bob Woodward's Books.
