Chart of Military Deaths in the USA... The Dawning of the Age Of Aquarius ended the Massive Killing of Americans...

Do the Math...
The Killing of American Soldiers
Dramatically Reduced about 1973.

What If We All Had a Couple of Thousand Dollars MORE Every Year? We Could Spend That Money Better Than The Pentagram Does! They just Blow Up Random Countries for No Reason and then... Halliburton and Bechtel Rebuilds Them...

Here Are Some Photographs of Abandoned Airplanes

That were Never Used to Defend the Country...

YOU AND I PAID FOR THEM!

A Brief History of the War In Iraq. OOPS, We Blew Up The Wrong Country. On 9/11 Fourteen (14) SAUDI ARABIAN Hijackers Flew Airplanes into The World Trade Center. Five (5) Were NOT Saudis.

George W. Bush (the Son) felt that He Could NOT go to War with The ACTUAL people that Caused 9/11 so he had the CIA write FALSE Reports so he could start a War Against Iraq. Years Later We Learned that Iraq Had No WMD, Had No ties to Al Qaeda and Had Nothing at all to do with 9/11.

Americans Killed on 9/11 = 3,000
Americans Killed in Response to 9/11 = 6,000

Shaking Hands With Saddam.
Donald Rumsfeld Sold Weapons to Iraq
During President Reagan's Years In Office.

We helped Make Saddam

the President Of Iraq.
Reagan Also Sold Weapons to IRAN...
and then we stepped back and Watched
Them Kill each Other...
and Laughed and Laughed and Laughed.

National Security Archive Electronic Briefing Book No. 82

Edited by Joyce Battle

Colin Powell gave a Press Briefing at the United Nations
where he explained the Reasons for going to War in Iraq.
Traditionally, press briefings are held in front of Picasso's
Painting "Guernica" that depicts death from the sky...
Powell was proposing starting a war that had a lot of
Death from the Sky...
SO HE HAD JANITORS COVER THE PAINTING AND HE SPOKE
IN FRONT OF A WHITE SHEET.
This Image shows what the press conference would have looked like.

Photographs of the Eureka Peace March. END the Iraq War before it Starts... Well, Bush started it anyway and now Iraq is a total disaster... Endless War... For Profit.

Anti War Protest in Laguna Beach

Ending the Afghan War is a Great Idea. Thank You, Joe Biden. ---> NOW, Let's Have 15 Years of Peace... Where the USA Does NOT Blow Up Random Countries For No Reason.

After we Lost the War in Vietnam, We Had 15 Years of Peace Because The US Government Had "Learned Its Lesson." And then Ronald Ray Gun Took Sides in Nicaragua's Civil War... GEE, Does Anyone Remember Who Won? or Who The "Good Guys" Were? Or Where Nicaragua is on The Map? I Do Remember that the CIA Imported Cocaine by the TON in Order to Finance That War... My Neighborhood Turned into a Crack Crazy Ghetto...

Do We Get a Peace Dividend? Since the Taxpayers Will NO LONGER Be Spending Billions of Dollars on "The Great Game" What If We Refunded a Few Thousand Dollars PER PERSON To The Taxpayers?

The Afghan People That Helped the Foreign Invaders (USA) are Traitors. They Fought Against Their Own People... I Support the "Stay in Afghanistan" Policy of the Taliban. All Afghan People Ought to Help Rebuild Their Country... It's a Very Similar Policy to the "Stay in Mexico" of the Trump Era that the SCOTUS Just Validated as a Dang Good Idea! Whatever Happens, I Sure Hope those People Don't Move into MY Neighborhood... Let 'em Go Live in DirkaDirkaStan... or Texas...

Team America: World Police is a 2004 black comedy action film directed by Trey Parker and written by Parker, Matt Stone and Pam Brady, all of whom are also known for the popular animated television series South Park. Starring Parker, Stone, Kristen Miller, Masasa, Daran Norris, Phil Hendrie, Maurice LaMarche, Chelsea Marguerite, Jeremy Shada and Fred Tatasciore, the film is a satire of big-budget action films and their associated clichés and stereotypes, with particular humorous emphasis on the global implications of the politics of the United States. The title is derived from domestic and international political criticisms that the foreign policy of the United States frequently and unilaterally tries to "police the world".

What Would San Francisco Be Like if Japan Had Won World War Two?

That's the Subject of the Science Fiction Book... "The Man in the High Castle" by Philip K Dick...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Vwal-FySkQ <--- Link to the Book Read Out Loud.

In the book, Characters throw the I Ching to help them decide what to do... In the Real World, The Author Actually Threw the I Ching while writing the book... to use the ancient wisdom to help write the plot of the story... How the story ends was absolutely chosen by "The Oracle" because the Author had planned for a different ending...

also... The Author was working at his wife's custom jewelry business during the day... and writing the book at night...

A Character in the Story Makes Custom Jewelry for a Living... and has a great deal of trouble selling it... The Rulers of San Francisco only like to collect "Authentic" Antique American Products... and there is a Huge Business Creating Fakes that look like the "Real" Thing... For Example: Colt 44 Pistols or Mickey Mouse Wristwatches...

The Author was using vast quantities of amphetamines... That allowed him to work day and night...

and eventually it killed him... a stroke and then a heart attack... but first he wrote a LOT of Paranoid Fiction...

and there is a Book within a Book in this story...

"The Grasshopper Lies Heavy" - is a Speculative Fiction about What San Francisco would have been like if America Had Won WW2...

The Author of that book Lived in a Castle High in the Rocky Mountains near Denver, Colorado... a Fortress that could be Easily Defended... But he got too Paranoid about Taking the Tram up there because he thought the Tram Might NOT Stop at His Home but would continue all the way to Heaven... or The Stars...

My Father and Uncle Were WW2 Veterans. Neither Were "SUCKERS" or "LOSERS" like tRUMP Said. - I Guess World War Two Was Viewed DIFFERENTLY in the Drumpf Home. We Thought Hitler Was The Enemy.

None of Trump's Relatives Fought in WW2... I Guess Dodging the Draft is a Family Tradition.

Did Trump have relatives fight in World War Two? Nope.

Looking at the Trump family, none of Trump’s parents, uncles, or first cousin seem to have served in World War II on the American side. Trump has second cousins on his German side living in Kallstadt who likely fought for Germany in World War II. https://www.quora.com/Did-Trump-have-relatives-fight-in-World-War-Two

My Dad was a WW2 Veteran. He Worked as a Typist in the War Crimes Trials about The Bataan Death March in Manila, the Phillipines - General Homma was Convicted and Executed for Crimes Against Humanity

Dad was given a test when drafted and he proved that he could type fast on a typewriter... so he was stationed in an office in Manila. Often students would interview dad on veterans day and write newspaper articles about him.

The History of the Baatan Death March is Clear... General Homma Deserved to Die for War Crimes... One Day he decided the American Prisoners should Move from One Prison to Another One... The Australian Army offered to Use Their Trucks to Move the Prisoners from one Prison to The Other. General Homma said NO... The Prisoners MUST WALK... and Hundreds of Soldiers Died Walking in the Intense Heat...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bataan_Death_March

War crimes trial

In September 1945, General Masaharu Homma was arrested by Allied troops and indicted for war crimes.^[36] Homma was charged with 43 different counts of crimes against humanity.^[37] Homma was found guilty of permitting members of his command to commit "brutal atrocities and other high crimes".^[38] The general, who had been absorbed in his efforts to capture Corregidor after the fall of Bataan, claimed in his defense that he remained ignorant of the high death toll of the death march until two months after the event.^[39] Homma's verdict was predicated on respondeat superior, but with an added liability standard, since the latter could not be rebutted.^[40] On February 26, 1946, he was sentenced to death by firing squad, and was executed on April 3, 1946, outside Manila.^[36]

On Facebook, my friends Posted:

HWP: My dad served in the Philippines as well.

MW: my dad too, he was in a pow camp. for 3 1/2 years

HWP: Oh Michael, how horrible for him! God bless those men who fought for our freedom that we tend to take for granted!

KD: Greg, my dad was in the Philippines too during WW2. He never did anything as interesting as your dad. He was too young. He did get to go to Japan when the war was over.

CR: My Dad was a paratrooper with the 101st "Screaming Eagles" he didn't talk about it much he jumped behind the lines in the Battle of the Bulge.

HWP: My dad was a civil engineer and was in the Seebees. I think that's how you spell it. He told some stories to my brother and sister and me, but it wasn't until he got Alzheimer's disease he started remembering the horrors of what he had seen. I had never seen my father cry until then. He was tormented with the memories he had stuffed way down and had bubbled to the surface.

PRM: A friend of my folks was part of the Bataan Death March. He died at age 59, his health was severely compromised as result.

HWP: I too knew a man who had been forced to walk on the Bataan Death March.

KOK: My grandfather was shot in France, but he made a full recovery. And not by a German soldier either, but by a French fascist guerrilla, weeks after the Germans had already surrendered in France.

JVD: So sorry Pam. In gratitude for his service, may he rest in peace .

DSW: My dad flew a P47 fighter. He was shot down in Jan.'45. They told his parents and my mom he was presumed dead. He was actually in a German prison camp that was eventually liberated by Patton. Got home June 14, 1945.

CR: I've read several books on the Bataan Death march. It's heart breaking to learn what our soldiers endured. I can never do enough to thank them.

JT: My 4 year old father and his family was shipped to a relocated camp in the desert for being of Japanese heritage by the US govt. Bless our veterans for fighting for our freedom, but we civilians have to do our part to ensure we don't allow government to take away those freedoms.

HWP: John, I'm sorry about your family's experience. I absolutely agree with you that we should never allow that to happen again in our country!

My Dad also brought back dried Moths. 4 inch wingspan. It's incredible to imagine what they would be like fluttering around... especially in swarms of a hundred or more.

I was born in San Jose Hospital in 1954. Lived on Hedding Street in the flight path for the Airport. When I was six, they started landing Jet Airplanes and all the people had to leave our neighborhood. We moved to Los Gatos and we moved the House my grandpa built to Almaden. They just picked it up and put it on a truck...
