American History: Vice President Spiro Agnew was Arrested and Resigned in Disgrace... Then Nixon Appointed Gerald Ford... WHAT If tRUMP and Pence BOTH Have to Resign because they are Sick with Coronavirus?

and It Was Essential that they Pretended there was No Quid Pro Quo... No No, Ford NEVER promised a Pardon to Nixon at the Job Interview... NOPE, Not ME! SO... If tRUMP and Pence BOTH Have to Resign because they are Sick with Coronavirus... In their Last Moment before the 25th Amendment Kicks in... They Appoint Devin Nunes' COW! or Gay Jim Jordan... or Maybe Captain Kangaroo Matt Gaetz!

AWAKEN!
REJECT YOUR BRAINWASHING!
FC said: Depending upon interpretation, if they leave without naming a successor (can you imagine tRump doing that?) then either an "officer of the administration" or the Speaker of the House. I do not want Pompeo snagging that post.


The Very Real Problem of Both Trump and Pence Getting COVID-19 at the Same Time... 



~~~~~~ (~);-} ~~~~~~

Fact Check. Coronavirus Cases Exist. Testing or Not Testing DOES NOT CHANGE REALITY... THEY EXIST... Testing does Not CAUSE Cases. Testing Simply Reveals Facts...  tRUMP Thinks That KNOWING about Cases is BAD... and It Is... For His Re-election... It shows How Incompetent He is...

AA 12 Step Service... I remember Hauling 20 gallons of water to Cohasset, CA. (Near Chico) - I was the Man with the Van and my Friend's Tenant needed it.

Automatically doing what needs to be done when it needs to be done... is a great way to live. 

The tenant was an old lady... The water was for drinking and bathing. and since I Could do The Work... I Did... EASY!

We met through AA and I did the "Service" and felt happy to be able to serve.

Bob Law was the Landlord.

I owned a Ford Windstar Cargo Van...


my van in Bidwell Park, Chico, California

with a free mattress in the back. I became a Turtle with my home on my back... And I travelled from California thru Nevada to Utah...

Then I drove to Oregon and Washington State... where the van's transmission died... and then the engine caught fire... on Highway 5 near Centralia, Washington... I had to take Amtrak Home. The van got smashed at the junkyard recycling center in Vancouver Washington...

Numbers have cultural meanings... For Example 5150 meaning is Danger to self and others. 1,4,9 is the shape of the TMA in the movie 2001... The Big Black Box. This is my list of every number I can think of and what they mean...
https://gvan42.blogspot.com/p/for-example-and-its-one-two-three-what.html


a small sample of the list...  0: number invented by Indian Mathematicians.  Brought to the middle east and then Europe by an Arabian named Al Khwarizmi. (Algebra). Handy for expressing BIG numbers like, 1 followed by a hundred zeros – a googol.  A googolplex is 1 followed by a googol zeros. Spelled differently than google.

007: James Bond, a secret agent for her Majesty in England. A Character played in the movies by Sean Connery... and a gazillion other wanna-bees.

half pipe: a skateboard word referring to a part of the skate park made out of a concrete pipe sawed in half... a big concave area remains.

¾ waltz time… 4/4 rock music and folk… 5/4 Dave Brubeck’s “Take Five”

1: The traditional beginning number used when counting. For Example: One for the Money, Two for the show, Three to get ready, now GO CAT GO! But don’t you, step on my Blue Suede Shoes. also: And it's 1, 2, 3, what are we fighting for? Country Joe and the Fish.

1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34… Fibonacci sequence… add together any two consecutive numbers to calculate the next term.

1/20/09 date Obama moved into the White House.

1.44 - Size in Megabytes of a Floppy Disk. According to Larry Niven - Science Fiction Author it's the minimum size needed for a Neutron Star.  1.44 times as large as the Sun. "The Chandrasekhar limit ." The currently accepted value of the limit is about 1.39...

1.618 Phi the golden ratio - found often in art and nature

I remember dumpster diving in Chico, California... We grabbed a Mattress and I put it in the back of my Ford Windstar Cargo Van... Then I magically became a "TURTLE" because wherever I drove, I had my home on my back...

I was waiting for an AA Meeting to start and met a kid who said he could show me where to buy Marijuana. We went to the Dealer's Apartment, Bought a Bag of Weed and... Found a Dumpster with a LOT of free stuff... The College kids often abandon their possessions after the School closes for the Summer...

I remember parking in an Oak Forest near Red Bluff in a high wind and all night the Acorns fell on the roof of the Van...Scary, like a gunshot sound... another time I was driving home from Crater Lake, Oregon and I felt really tired so I pulled off at a Campground on Highway 101 just North of Eureka... It looked Just like the Movie Jurassic Park. That's because the Movie WAS filmed there...

Trump's "Booming Economy" is a Fraud. Dressbarn to close all 650 stores, shutter entire business. Ford Lays off 7,000 People.

Prices are Higher, Wages are Lower... 99% of Americans are Doing Worse Under Trump's Presidency.

LIAR, LIAR, PANTS ON FIRE. Trump CLAIMS the Economy is the Greatest in History but a FACT CHECK says FALSE.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2018/09/07/president-trumps-repeated-claim-greatest-economy-history-our-country/

If you've been noticing more going-out-of-business sales, there's a reason: Dressbarn, CVS, Pier 1, Gap and other chains have announced more store closings in 2019 than we saw during all of 2018. https://moneywise.com/a/retailers-closing-stores-in-2019

Mt. Shasta Lore

            Indigenous people from Northern California and Southern Oregon are primarily the Pit River Indians, Modocs, Wintu, Karuk, Hupa, Shasta and Yurok tribes.

Mt. Shasta’s peak has been used as a spiritual and geographical locator.  At 14,179 ft. elevation and an active volcano, Mt. Shasta towers above all other surrounding mountains.  Native people do not reside on Mt. Shasta because it is considered so powerful.  Spiritual ceremony is conducted in areas below the timberline and when finished, the surroundings are returned to nature, with nothing left behind.  Medicine men and shamans are often taken to Mt. Shasta for training.  There is much Native lore telling how the mountain has healed through prayer, songs, dancing, doctoring and through nature.  The mountain yields a sacred spring and areas for collecting plants and herbs for ceremony and healing.  The mountain is called ‘grandfather’ as it represents the paternal grandparents of the Pit River Tribe.  Their powerful spirit called Mis Misa is said to live inside the mountain and serves to keep the universe in balance.  They consider Mt. Shasta the beginning of all life and the end of all life, where one can ascend into the sky along the Milky Way to the beyond.

The Native peoples report many tunnels within Mt. Shasta.  The Wintu say the mountain generates sound that provides information and guidance.  The Wintu lore says another realm exists inside the mountain and access might come through doorways, such as vents in caves.  Mt. Shasta must be approached with great care and respect as it is guarded by certain spirits.  Mt. Shasta is so powerful that only short visits are appropriate.  It is said that “It has it all”.  During ceremony, the Wintu frequently hear and know the presence of the “little people”, called the Mountain Boys, who live deep within the mountain.  A shaman can communicate with the little people.  The shaman also uses the bubbling brook on the mountain to gain spiritual information. 

When visiting the mountain, silence is important for meditation and fasting. The mountain spirits command respect.


METAPHYSICAL LORE


As early as the 1880s, writers began their association of the lost continent of Lemuria with Mt. Shasta.  Even though these theories cannot be proved, the power of the mountain remains supreme.  People worldwide visit Mt. Shasta to be close to its spiritual energy, to meditate, to communicate with the spirit world and to be healed.  The concept of Lemurians living within the mountain has become widely popular and anyone visiting Mt. Shasta will be amazed by the abundance of literature on the topic as well as practitioners working within the vortex of an important spiritual community.

Great Documentary Movie: "All the President's Men Revisited" about Watergate, Nixon and the Making of the Movie - Woodward, Bernstein, Mark Felt and John Dean...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lD3ESH7x5cU

Combining Real film shot of the actual people with scenes from the Robert Redford/Dustin Hoffman Movie "All the President's Men". John Dean Testifying before Congress... and Interviews with everyone explaining what happened and what we learned and can apply today. Including Nixon on the David Frost TV Show years Later... He still would not admit guilt...

G Gordon Liddy is missing from this film. His Book "Will" is out of print... He was discarded to the Dustbin of History... Once a "Heroic" Anti-Hero, now a "WHO?"

My Autobiography: Growing Up in Los Gatos, California in the 1960s by Gregory Vanderlaan - and Living in San Jose, Washington DC, Chico, Eureka and Orangevale, CA.

I Was Born in 1954. We lived Near the San Jose Airport until they Started Landing Jet Airplanes and We had to move... We went to Los Gatos in 1960. I lived there until graduation from Los Gatos High School in 1972... an Ideal Childhood... FYI: Los Gatos is about 50 miles South of San Francisco on the edge of the mountains between San Jose and Santa Cruz.

I Went to West Valley Jr. College, learned electronics drafting and got a job at System Industries in Santa Clara... I feel blessed that not only did I grow up in a great location but I also grew up at a great time. I missed the Vietnam War by ONE Year and Silicon Valley Was Hiring Like Crazy When I Needed a Job.

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. We built thousands of Nuclear Missiles and Fallout Shelters. The US Congress had witch hunts (Joe McCarthy-HUAC) to expose "Commies" who worked in The Hollywood Movie business and blacklisted folksingers that were leading our young people astray with Labor Union Organizing songs.


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. His theory was...
