UNION YES - Did you know that There is a Massive Increase in Labor Union Membership Nationwide. WE Fight Back Against The Super Rich... They Are Destroying Our Country...
Here is An Interesting video by Professor Richard Wolff. All about the coming down fall of the United States and the end of our Empire... His solution to our problems is more labor unions...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XedaCaRbw6A"It's no accident that 71% of Americans have a favorable view of unions - the highest since 1965, while just 36% hold a favorable view of corporations - the lowest since Wall Street crashed the economy in 2008. The American people are sick and tired of corporate greed." - Bernie Sanders
(CNN)Between strikes by nurses, teachers and maybe railroad workers, and new union efforts gaining steam at Starbucks, Amazon, Apple and elsewhere, big labor is having a big moment.

Amazon, Starbucks, and other mega-corporations wouldn’t be deploying massive union-busting campaigns if they weren’t terrified of union power. When workers fight back, they win. Solidarity!
The American public is back in love with
labor unions, so why aren’t workers?
https://www.cnbc.com/2022/08/31/why-
soaring-public-support-for-labor-doesnt-
mean-unions-are-winning.html
KEY POINTS:
1. Many top U.S. brands from Apple to Chipotle,
Starbucks and Amazon are facing an increased
effort among front-line and retail employees to unionize.
2. The American public has the workers’ backs, with a
new Gallup poll finding that support for unions has
reached its highest level since 1965.
3. But the Gallup data also shows how difficult it will be to
turn general support into widespread organizing activity,
as the majority of nonunion workers tell Gallup they
have little interest in joining the labor movement.

I remember going to Montalvo - a Fantastic Mansion/Park in Saratoga, CA. We went there often because there was a beautiful lawn and many hippies congregated there and played guitar... etc, etc, etc...
One time a Classmate (who shall remain nameless) and I ate LSD and then hitchhiked to Montalvo. We were relaxing and enjoying the beautiful gardens and the Gazebo that looked like a Grecian Temple when... up drove my Parents! Disaster! Panic! They drove my friend to his home and then we went to our home and ate lunch (I had no appetite because I was Tripping... and MOM Noticed... Danger-Danger...) and then we all saw a Woody Allen Movie (Take the Money and Run) at Century 21. That would qualify as a Bad Trip...
Another time Mom, Dad and I went to a Hypnosis Seminar. The man used the sound of tinkling keys as a trigger. I don't recall actually getting Hypnotized. I have had a lifelong Desire to learn Self Hypnosis but have had absolutely no success. and no success with Prayer, Meditation or Lucid Dreaming. NOTHING! Supposedly there is some benefit to those practices but I have been totally disappointed... One Out of Body Experience I have had was Playing the drums in a Circle of Friends. I took a Drumming Class at Adult Education in Paradise, CA. We met at night at an abandoned Chinese Restaurant and Played the drums for Hours. Sometimes I thought I saw Ghosts. Actually, Those classes were a High Point of My Life. I attended with a VERY Beautiful Woman who was NOT my wife... Exciting to be with her but TOTALLY off limits... SIGH...
There is a Very Long trail up the Mountain behind the Mansion. I don't know how long it goes or where it leads...
At Montalvo, I took piano Lessons for a very brief time. In my youth I took Piano Lessons at Home and Hated it. However, I did learn to play... Decades later I had countless hours of fun playing Piano and Synthesizer with friends. We all owned those Analog Machines made by Roland, Korg and Yamaha... and drum machines... Those machines allowed up to create "Outer Space" fifties Science Fiction Soundtrack "Music" - or more accurately described, Noise... a lot of Whoosh Whoosh and space ships taking off sounds. Big fun with a home made Laser Lightshow and a bag of weed. I inherited my Family Piano and had it moved to my home in Eureka. It's an Upright with Excellent sound. Often I would take the front off the piano so I was exposed to the strings and... improvise while holding the pedal down... eventually, all the strings vibrated simultaneously... quite an astonishing sound to listen to while smoking grass. After I retired from work, the State of Oregon Legalized Marijuana and I drove there every two weeks and bought an Ounce. One entire winter in Eureka. Then in the Spring, I decided to take a Driving Vacation to the Deserts of Nevada and SoCal... I left the weed at home because whenever I go camping in my Van I meet the Police and at that time Marijuana was Illegal in California and Nevada... anyway, I remained Stoned for A Month! Without Smoking at ALL... I went to the Hospital for an Infected Blister on my foot and they said I tested Positive for THC... a MONTH after Stopping Smoking!
I took my Wife to a Folk Singer Concert at Montalvo. In the Back yard behind the Mansion there is a Stage and amphitheater seating. We saw Janis Ian and 8 other Greenwich Village Type Folk Singers. I can't remember any names and they were all boring... EXCEPT Janis Ian! She was great! She sang her hit song (At 17) but most of the time she played abstract Jazz using Digital Footpedals for Echo, Sampling and Reverb. Quite a talented performer... It especially blew my mind because I owned the Exact same equipment but She really made magic with those machines! We parked the Car at West Valley Junior College and rode a special shuttle bus to Montalvo. Overall, it was just another one of those Husband Events... She really liked Folksingers and I... EH!
When I was Growing Up, Drinking Alcohol was Considered Socially Unacceptable. Peer Pressure said "Don't be a Juicer."
It wasn't until the Late 1990s that I started Drinking, quickly became an Out Of Control Alcoholic, Joined AA and Quit. I still like going to AA Meetings... I spent about Five Years drinking and only suffered the Brain Damage for a Short Time. When we were Teenagers we had Marijuana and LSD and Drinking was something from my Parent's Generation... Not Cool.
Ironically, when Marijuana became Legal, I quit. My brother got Lung Cancer and that REALLY SCARED ME so I quit smoking Tobacco and Marijuana... Now I Enjoy Deep Breathing Meditation... Breathe Rapidly and Deeply and MORE OXYGEN GOES TO MY BRAIN... I still like Coffee and Sugar... I'm High on Those Two Drugs Right Now and They Cause me to Think Up Ideas to Say...
I became bored with LSD... It Seems to Me That There Has to Be SOMETHING BEYOND ACID...

Massive Anti-Trump Protest on July 4th in Washington DC. Trump is Planning a Campaign Rally at the Lincoln Memorial with A Foaming at the Mouth Hate Filled Rant.
NOTE: THIS EVENT HAS ALREADY HAPPENED... THE NEXT EVENT IS YET TO BE ANNOUNCED... PLEASE CONTACT ME WITH AN INVITATION AND I'LL POST A LINK HERE! gregvan@yahoo.com
A perfect time for a Half a Million people to surround Trump and Scream...
This seems like a perfect opportunity for Civil Disobedience...
A Patriot Could Bring a Personal Alarm and when Trump Speaks, pull the cord and make a 130 dB Noise!
DO NOT BRING Firecrackers, M-80s or Cherry bombs to Trump's Speech on July 4th... The Secret Service will arrest you... Massive explosions sound too much like gunfire... DO NOT BRING THEM TO THE LINCOLN MEMORIAL... Bring Personal Alarms...
The Traditional Fireworks will be moved over to Potomac Park... far away from the Mall... So, we will just have to bring our own Fireworks... Especially the Rockets that Fly Up into the Air and Explode! A person can buy all varieties of explosives at South of the Border in South Carolina... Often people just drive south and bring back many varieties of things that go BOOM! M-80 Firecrackers would drive the Secret Service INSANE! and Trump would Duck and Cover...
COST TO TAXPAYERS $2.5 MILLION DOLLARS
Headline: Trump Hijacks Washington, DC July 4th Celebrations To Put Himself at the Center...
President Donald Trump has taken over the organizational plans for the nation’s annual July 4th celebrations in Washington, DC, according to the Washington Post. He has moved the fireworks display from the Mall, where it has been held for more than 50 years, to a spot closer to the Potomac River. He has also inserted himself into the program, promising to address the nation from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, turning the usual non-partisan celebration of the nation’s independence into what will amount to a campaign rally. Officials did not have a price tag on the changes, but the Post reported that the firework display on the Mall has been orchestrated for more than half a century.

A better Idea... Instead of bringing Firecrackers to DISRUPT Trump's July Fourth Celebration... Bring a Personal Alarm! and make a 130dB Screaming Noise! You can tell the Police "Hey, I Felt Threatened... That's Why I Pulled the Alarm..." and It's TRUE... Trump's Speeches ARE THREATENING!

Are You Facing Death? Explore The Trip Treatment. An article by Michael Pollan about Research done at NYU into Psychedelics and Cancer Treatment...
The Trip Treatment
Research into psychedelics, shut down for decades, is now yielding exciting results.
By Michael Pollan
By 2010, the cancer had spread to Patrick’s lungs and he was buckling under the weight of a debilitating chemotherapy regimen and the growing fear that he might not survive. The article, headlined “hallucinogens have doctors tuning in again,” mentioned clinical trials at several universities, including N.Y.U., in which psilocybin—the active ingredient in so-called magic mushrooms—was being administered to cancer patients in an effort to relieve their anxiety and “existential distress.”
