Me Singing This Song...

Yuba City by U Utah Phillips
(A Farming Town between Chico and Sacramento on Highway 99 in California...) Based on a True Story...

 A                 E
I came into Yuba as soon as I read
   D                        A
Of all of those twenty-five hobos found dead
  A                       D
I came in to find out if one of the slain
            A           E           A
Could have answered to my brother's name
   A                        E
It might be your brother, I just couldn't say
   D                         A
We hire lots of floaters who work by the day;
    A                    D
Now I see his photo they might be the same
      A         E           A
But I never did ask him his name

           A                   E
Chorus: If I had a list and if I only knew
    E                          A
I'd write down their names and sing them to you
    A                    D
And when I got done, I'd sing them again
         A             E         A
So you'd all know each one had a name
 A                    E
He had a room and ran out on the rent
 D                       A
Hired on a crew, I don't know where he went
   A                  D
If I knew his boss, I might make a claim
      A          E             A
But I never did write down his name

   A                         E
He stopped for a drink every now and again
 D                             A
Didn't look no different than hundreds of men;
    A                          D
You know these old winos, they all look the same
   A         E           A
No reason to ask him his name
   A                         E
It might have been Shorty, a feller I knew
   D                              A
We bunked in the empties when the season was through
    A                         D
You know, I been thinking, it sure is a shame
  A         E           A
I never did ask him his name

   A                  E
We always abandon the old for the new
    D                      A
And second-hand people get thrown away, too;
  A                       D
I know it won't help, but still it explains
    A         E            A
Why no one remembers their names

We visited Yuba City Twice. Once for a Concert at the College by Anoushka Shankar... and the Other Time was Outdoors on a Hot Summer Night... Carlos Santana and The WHO...

and on Wiki - they Have the actual names on a List!

Juan Vallejo Corona (February 7, 1934 – March 4, 2019) was a Mexican serial killer who was convicted of the murders of 25 migrant farm workers found buried in peach orchards along the Feather River in Sutter County, California in 1971.

Trump Supporters: DON'T DO THIS! A Texas woman was arrested for threatening to kill the federal judge overseeing the criminal case against former President Donald Trump.

Abigail Jo Shry of Alvin, Texas, called the federal courthouse in Washington and left the threatening message — using a racist term for U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan — on Aug. 5, court records show. Investigators traced her phone number and she later admitted to making the threatening call, according to a criminal complaint.

Headline: Purported names, photos and addresses of Fulton County grand jurors circulate on far-right internet...

https://www.cnn.com/2023/08/17/politics/fulton-county-grand-jurors-far-right-internet/index.html

When someone is indicted in Fulton County, the indictment includes the names of all the grand jurors who served on the 26-member panel that handed up the charges. However, the indictment, which is a public record that’s available on the court website, does not include their addresses or any other personally identifiable information.
Also, on some forums, users are posting multiple social media profiles of different people who have the same name as some of the grand jurors.
This creates an additional layer of risk, Daniel J. Jones, the president of Advance Democracy, a non-profit organization that conducts public-interest investigations and monitors extremism online, told CNN. The posting of social media profiles and home addresses of people who happen to share the name of a grand juror increases their risk of harassment and other forms of harm, he said.

This letter speaks for me, so I'm adding my name. Thanks, John Wambrodt. (It's a little long, folks, but worth the read. I think you'll feel the same.)

Dear Facebook Friends,

This is where I stand.

I make no apologies to anyone for this. I know some are tired of political postings and rants. But apart from non-committal posts of recipes, meals, flowers, dogs, seashells, balloons, pictures, cats, drama, humor, our own art, and even beautiful expressions of spiritual beliefs, FB is (until it gets taken away) a vehicle to express our outrage at how far our country has currently fallen on the humanitarian scale.

To me, FB is a useful vehicle for my passion and activism. The fevered ego currently occupying our White House, his power hungry cronies taking positions of authority in his Cabinet and administration, and the majority of Republicans & Democrats in Congress are a real and active threat to me, my way of life, and all the people I love. And unless you are worth billions of dollars, they are a threat to you and your life, too. So, I will continue to be a part of the solution by drawing attention to what's happening and encouraging us to all resist. If you can, join in. If you disagree, fine. But, I refuse to "play nice" in the face of what these people are doing. Our country's well-being demands that we stand up and resist.

Some people are saying that we should "work together" with Trump because he won the election and he is "everyone's president." This is my response:

I will not forget how badly he and so many others treated President Obama for EIGHT YEARS...BUT, apart from that, this is why I cannot support this president's agenda:

• I will not "work together" to privatize Medicare, cut Social Security and Medicaid. EVER!!! We have paid every single dime into Social Security. It is OURS, not Congress's to spend to court rich donors from Wall Street.

• I will not "work together" to remove civil rights from ANYONE--like the evisceration of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 OR the continued partisan gerrymandering by the GOP.

• I will not "work together" to destroy marriage equality and make it a states right to deny love between two people. Your "religious liberty" does not give you some right to take away my rights. Your faith, no matter how deeply felt, doesn't make our civil laws.

• I will not "work together" to deny health care to people who need it.

• I will not "work together" to increase the profits of the insurance companies. (Notice they rarely, if ever, go bankrupt).

• I will not "work together" to erase or redefine my trans brothers and sisters. I will not subject them to embarrassment in bathrooms.

• I will not "work together" to deny medical coverage to people on the basis of an alleged or actual "pre-existing condition." (At some point, we will ALL have a pre-existing condition if we live long enough).

• I will not "work together" to build a wall. (Walls have never worked, and eventually they all fall.)

• I will not "work together" to persecute Muslims.

• I will not "work together" to shut out refugees from countries where we destabilized their governments, so that we could have something more agreeable to our oligarchy.

• I will not "work together" to lower taxes on the 1%.

• I will not "work together" to increase taxes on the middle class and poor.

• I will not "work together" to help the president to line his pockets and those of his cronies.

• I will not "work together" to weaken and demolish environmental protections.

.

• I will not "work together" to sell American lands, especially National Parks, to companies which then despoil those lands.

• I will not "work together" to enable the killing in any way of whole species of animals just because they are predators, or inconvenient for a few, or because some people want to get their thrills killing them.

• I will not "work together" to waste trillions more on our military when we already have the strongest in the world.

• I will not "work together" to alienate countries that have been our allies for as long as I have been alive, and longer.

• I will not "work together" to slash education funding.

• I will not "work together" to take basic assistance from people who are at the bottom of the socioeconomic ladder.

• I will not "work together" to allow torture and "black op" prison sites.

• I will not "work together" and deny that there is a color imbalance in our criminal justice system. We need to address it.

• I will not "work together" with a mentality that twists peaceful protests into a lack of patriotism. Kneeling is NOT disrespectful to the flag.

• I will not "work together" with a leader who bullies others.

• I will not "work together" to "take their oil."

• I will not "work together" to get rid of common sense regulations on guns.

• I will not "work together" to eliminate the minimum wage.

• I will not "work together" to support so-called "Right To Work" laws, or undermine, weaken or destroy unions in any way.

• I will not "work together" to suppress scientific research, be it on climate change, fracking, or any other issue where a majority of scientists agree that #45 and his supporters are wrong on the facts.

• I will not "work together" to increase the number of nations that have nuclear weapons.

• I will not "work together" to put even more "big money" into politics.

• I will not "work together" to violate the Geneva Convention.

• I will not "work together" to give the Ku Klux Klan, the Nazi Party and white supremacists a seat at the table, or to normalize their hatred.

• I will not "work together" if it means ignoring the fact that a foreign country interfered with our elections while this administration has done nothing about it.

• I will not "work together" or honor a man who is a sexual predator.

• I will not "work together" with politicians who want to criminalize abortion... or regulate it out of existence.

• I will not "work together" to engage in voter suppression.

• I will not "work together" to normalize tyranny.

• I will not “work together” to eliminate or reduce ethical oversite at any level of government.

• I will not "work together" with anyone who is, or admires, tyrants and dictators who murder their opposition.

• I will not "work together" with #45 because I will not allow one man to feed upon the fears of the populace, blaming minorities for their condition or their inability to thrive.

• I will not "work together" to put children in cages.

• I will not "work together" to invite or condone violence against journalists. Or ignore the murder of one!!!

• I will not "work together" to dismiss and demoralize the intelligence community upon whom our national security relies.

This is the line, and I am drawing it. I will stand for honesty, love, respect for all living beings, and for the compassion and humanity that is the center of Life itself.

• I will use my voice and my hands, to reach out to the uninformed, and to anyone who will LISTEN for what's really so dangerous about #45, his friends and the Big Lie they spin to the world: to wit, that "winning,""being great again,""rich,""beautiful," or even "white" is anything more than nothing when others are sacrificed to glorify its existence.

Consider this an opportunity to make a declaration of commitment, in becoming part of The Resistance."

Yours in solidarity.

US Army VX Nerve Gas Accident Killed 6,249 Sheep near Dugway Proving Ground in Utah. Rancher Paid $376,685 for His Loss. [US History They Don't Teach in School]

The Dugway sheep incident of March 1968 made visible the military’s covert attempts to test and stockpile millions of dollars worth of chemical weapons...

https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/how-death-6000-sheep-spurred-american-debate-chemical-weapons-cold-war-180968717/

As more sheep sickened and died, spokespeople for the Dugway facility denied testing any weapons in the days before the die-off. But on March 21, U.S. Senator Frank Moss, a Democrat representing Utah, released a Pentagon document that proved otherwise: On March 13, the day before Sherriff Gilette came across the macabre scene, a high-speed jet had sprayed 320 gallons of nerve gas VX across the Dugway grounds in a weapons test. The odorless, tasteless chemical is so deadly that less than 10 milligrams is enough to kill a human by asphyxiation, via paralysis of the respiratory muscles.

Although the Army never released a full, detailed report, they paid $376,685 to rancher Alvin Hatch, whose sheep accounted for 90 percent of those afflicted. The military also lent bulldozers for the mass burial of the dead sheep, and initiated a review of the safety protocol at Dugway.

After World War I, in which every major power deployed chemical weapons—resulting in 1 million casualties and more than 90,000 deaths

Western nations signed the 1925 Geneva Protocol. The agreement prohibited the use of chemical and biological weapons, and for a time it seemed as if it would be obeyed.

But the United States never signed the agreement. Between 1961 and 1969 alone, the U.S. military spent $2 billion on its chemical weapons stockpile, writes science historian Simone Müller in Historical Social Research. Over that same period, the military dumped hundreds of thousands of tons of old chemical weapons directly into the ocean, without bothering to keep records of precisely where or how many weapons were disposed of. The military also discovered multiple instances of chemicals leaking out of their containers, including 21,000 leaky bomb clusters discovered in the Rocky Mountain Arsenal in Denver.

Yet the American public was almost entirely unaware of any of the stockpiles, or the danger of testing, storing and transporting them.

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

There were at least 1,100 other chemical tests at Dugway during the time period of the Dugway sheep incident (see below). In total, almost 500,000 lb (230,000 kg) of nerve agent were dispersed during open-air tests.[15] There were also tests at Dugway involving other weapons of mass destruction, including 328 open-air tests of biological weapons, 74 dirty bomb tests, and eight furnace heatings of nuclear material under open-air conditions to simulate the dispersal of fallout in the case of meltdown of aeronautic nuclear reactors.[15]

In March 1968, 6,249 sheep died in Skull Valley, an area nearly thirty miles from Dugway's testing sites. When examined, the sheep were found to have been poisoned by an organophosphate chemical. The sickening of the sheep, known as the Dugway sheep incident, coincided with several open-air tests of the nerve agent VX at Dugway. Local attention focused on the Army, which initially denied that VX had caused the deaths, instead blaming the local use of organophosphate pesticides on crops. Necropsies conducted on the dead sheep later definitively identified the presence of VX. The Army never admitted liability, but did pay the ranchers for their losses. On the official record, the claim was for 4,372 "disabled" sheep, of which about 2,150 were either killed outright by the VX exposure or were so critically injured that they needed to be euthanized on-site by veterinarians. Another 1,877 sheep were "temporarily" injured, or showed no signs of injury but ultimately were not marketable due to their potential exposure. All of the exposed sheep that survived the initial exposure were eventually euthanized by the ranchers, since even the potential for exposure had rendered the sheep permanently unsalable for either meat or wool.

The incident, coinciding with the birth of the environmental movement and anti-Vietnam War protests, created an uproar in Utah and the international community.^[17] The incident also starkly underscored the inherent unpredictability of air-dispersal of chemical warfare agents, as well as the extreme lethality of next-generation persistent nerve agents at even extremely low concentrations.
