Learn from History. OR DON'T! We Are Free to Keep Making the Same Mistakes Again and Again and Again. Remember the AIDS QUILT When Promoting PRIDE Month.

New Pride Flag - Big White Area Celebrating European American Pride!

Did You Know? The Main Way AIDS Was Spread was Gay Men Sex. Women Having Sex With Other Women Was NOT a Major Vector. Later, some Men who Got AIDS From Other Men Spread Their Disease To Women because They Had Sex With Both Men and Women... That's History. Learn... OR DON'T!

Everyone Has The Option of Pretending Reality Does Not Exist but... That FAILS! and Sometimes Beliefs Are Fatal... 

AIDS Quilt

https://www.aidsmemorial.org/quilt-history

The Quilt was conceived in November of 1985 by long-time San Francisco gay rights activist Cleve Jones. Since the 1978 assassinations of gay San Francisco Supervisor Harvey Milk and Mayor George Moscone, Jones had helped organize the annual candlelight march honoring these men. While planning the 1985 march, he learned that over 1,000 San Franciscans had been lost to AIDS. He asked each of his fellow marchers to write on placards the names of friends and loved ones who had died of AIDS. At the end of the march, Jones and others stood on ladders taping these placards to the walls of the San Francisco Federal Building. The wall of names looked like a patchwork quilt.

Headline: San Francisco Banning Public Sex: (4/10/1984)
After more than a year of controversy over homosexual public meeting places that critics say contribute to the spread of AIDS (acquired immune deficiency syndrome), city public health director Mervyn F. Silverman today announced steps to ban sexual activity in homosexual bathhouses, sex clubs and the back rooms of bookstores... 

"If they're going to send some 1984 Orwellian 'Big Brother' goons in there to see what people are doing, that's fine with me, but it's closing me down," said Bill Jones, owner of Sutro Baths, where heterosexuals and homosexuals often gather for anonymous sexual activity...

Makes Me Grateful That We DON'T Live In Those Times... The Government in the Early 1960s Had a LOT of Crazy Ideas... but, We Staged a Revolution in the Late 1960s and Changed the World Forever!


1967: The Summer of Love... San Francisco, Hippies, Flower Power, Peace, The Diggers, Haight Ashbury, LSD and the Grateful Dead. It certainly has been a Long Strange Trip. Congratulations to all those of us who have survived... One thing is for certain...

The culture of the United States was 
radically different After the 1960's...

The conformism of the 1950's was blown away when LSD became widely available. Owsley made the chemical and made it available at Acid Tests with Ken Kesey and the Grateful Dead. He also gave it to the Beatles for their Magical Mystery Tour. The spirit lives on in a yearly camping trip called The Rainbow Gathering. It's like Woodstock but the performers are not paid and I'm in the Band.

American History: Author Ken Kesey was a Paid test subject in Project MKULTRA, the CIA LSD Experiment to see if Drugs could be used as weapons of war.

 They also tested LSD on Robert Hunter (Lyrics-Grateful Dead) and Stewart Brand (Whole Earth Catalog Author). Ken Kesey Employed the Dead to play at his Acid Tests... so, WAS the Grateful Dead Tour a CIA Experiment to see what would happen if millions of people used LSD? I certainly feel that if the Police WANTED to arrest all the LSD Merchants that worked the Parking Lot, they would have had an easy time... So, maybe they were bought off by the CIA so that the MASSIVE Distribution of LSD could continue... Maybe the Grateful Dead Tour was DEPLOYMENT of MKULTRA because the CIA felt that they were undermining the Anti-War Movement... Radicals that were Protesting took LSD and Dropped Out to go live on Communes in the country, grow some vegetables, chickens, weed and Children...

Mickey Hart and Bob Weir belong to the Bohemian Grove... This all makes sense to me as The Grove was started as a getaway for artists, musicians and journalists who wanted a private place to party outside of San Francisco... So Bob Weir and Mickey Hart would be a great addition to group sing alongs around the campfire...

Timothy Leary was a CIA employee who wrote the "Leary Personality Test" years before he ate Magic Mushrooms and LSD.

I wonder WHY Christianity is So Unpopular? ONE out of SEVEN people Worldwide are followers of Jesus. A Billion Muslims, A Billion Hindus, A Billion Chinese, A Billion Africans, A Billion Buddhists... Confucius Say: We Reject Your Book.

Jesus is VERY Popular in Mexico and Central America. The Catholic Religion denies Birth Control to the Faithful. Starving Babies is one reason Immigrants want to leave there and come here... They Simply BREED More than They Can FEED.

I challenge that whole "Forgiveness" thing. Makes Jesus a Perfect God for the Mafia. Kill Someone, ask for forgiveness, Kill Someone, Ask For Forgiveness, Sell Heroin to School Children, Ask For Forgiveness... Hey, Don't Worry... The ONLY Requirement To Go To  Heaven is to Accept Jesus Christ as Your Savior. No Mention of DOING EVIL WHILE ALIVE... That's Forgiven... Hey, We All Sin... Even Child Molesting Catholic Priests SIN... They are GUARANTEED a Seat At The Right Hand of God When they Die.

No wonder Christianity is REJECTED WORLDWIDE.

Trump fires all members of Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Another disaster for Americans... Help for the Super Rich!

Since the goal of the CFPB is to protect Consumers from Banks... Closing the Bureau helps Banks do evil... The CFPB was created after the economy meltdown in 2008... when bankers gambled away all our money and had to be bailed out by the Federal Government. Dodd-Frank law was passed to prevent Banks from gambling with people's money... Now that law is being repealed setting up the Economy of the USA for disaster again!

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...
