Interesting Travel TV Show: Rick Steves Europe: Iran, Yesterday and Today. He visits Pretty Mosques and Interviews People on the Street... They Seem Friendly...

This Show made me realize that the US Government Propaganda is NOT Showing an Accurate View of Iranian People... I QUESTION WHY our Government is So Filled With Hate?

I Realize that our Puppet Dictator, The Shaw, was overthrown in a Revolution by People from the Church and our Government Lost Power... BUT... Isn't That Their Own Business and None of Ours?

American History: Republican President Ronald Reagan Sold Weapons to Terrorists in Iran and then Used the Profits to Fund an Illegal War in Nicaragua.

But he had the perfect excuse... He had Alzheimer's Disease and had NO IDEA AT ALL what was happening in the White House. This scandal was EVERYBODY ELSES FAULT.

Ronnie also Sold Weapons to Saddam Hussein In Iraq... Including Anthrax... using his salesman Donald Rumsfeld. Who Later became Secretary of Defense...

Actually, It was a clever Plan:  Sell weapons to BOTH Iraq and Iran, have them fight a war and laugh like crazy when a million civilians die... NYAH HA HA HA... and it turned out, the War in Nicaragua was pointless and it made no difference to the USA who won... Most People Nowadays don't even know that the USA was at War with Nicaragua at all...

Ronald Reagan's efforts to eradicate Communism spanned the globe, but the insurgent Contras' cause in Nicaragua was particularly dear to him... Read More AT:

Shaking Hands: Iraqi President Saddam Hussein greets Donald Rumsfeld, then special envoy of President Ronald Reagan, in Baghdad on December 20, 1983

The Iran-Iraq war (1980-1988) was one of a series of crises during an era of upheaval in the Middle East: revolution in Iran, occupation of the U.S. embassy in Tehran by militant students, invasion of the Great Mosque in Mecca by anti-royalist Islamacists, the Soviet Union's occupation of Afghanistan, and internecine fighting among Syrians, Israelis, and Palestinians in Lebanon. The war followed months of rising tension between the Iranian Islamic republic and secular nationalist Iraq. In mid-September 1980 Iraq attacked, in the mistaken belief that Iranian political disarray would guarantee a quick victory.

RUSSIA IS 'LAUGHING' AT TRUMP, FORMER AMBASSADOR TO EX-SOVIET UNION SAYS... 

https://www.newsweek.com/russia-laughing-trump-says-former-ambassador-ex-soviet-union-890272

"By and large, other governments don’t know whether to laugh or cry at all this," he added. "But in Russia, laughter is getting the upper hand."

I Oppose the War in Syria... and the ENDLESS Wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, Niger, Yemen, Saudi Arabia and DirkaDirkaStan.

Those countries ought to learn to fix their own problems... or... NOT fix their own problems... I don't care. We should Bring the Troops back home. As we learned in Vietnam and Nicaragua... Choosing a side in someone else's civil war is pointless.

Now, the Russians have learned how to JAM our Drones... The drones communicate with Radio Waves and a Jammer is easy to build! Now we will have to use Pilots in our bombers... and... AMERICAN LIVES should not be lost!


Trump's Muslim Ban has started. Preventing Terrorists from entering the USA... or something like that. Maybe... Maybe not...

It seems unlikely that Trump's Muslim Ban will accomplish anything... Because...

Trump's Muslim ban does not go far enough. He still will allow people from Saudi Arabia to travel here freely. Remember that 14 out of 19 hijackers on 9/11/2001 were from Saudi Arabia. Osama bin Laden was a Saudi. If he is going to have an effective Muslim Ban he should remember to ban the main home of the terrorists. DUH. He should also ban people from Iraq. Since we blew up their country and committed mass murder they should have a desire for "Payback"... Or... Maybe... we should simply stop hating foreigners... Almost all people in the USA were foreigners when they came here. Fear is not the answer.

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.

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...
