I ALWAYS Turn off the Sound on TV Commercials but... Out in the Living Room of My Group House THEY DON'T... and So... On Rare Occasions I Actually HEAR those Horrible Noises...

When I was a Teenager "Mad Magazine" Published How to Build a TV Sound Mute Switch Plans... TO SILENCE TV ADS... and I Opened Up My Parents TV and Added the Button... Without Electrocuting Myself or Breaking the TV! 

This Was The High Point of My Entire Electronics Career...

Now ALL TV Remotes Have a Mute Button... Mad Magazine Was Just Ahead of It's Time... (Well, DUH)

Now, I Can't Find an Image for The Mad Magazine Article about How To Build That Switch... I Tried Google Image Search but... NO JOY! If You Have a Copy of that Issue, Please Photograph the Drawings and EMAIL Them to me... gregvan(at)yahoo(dot)com...

I Really Object to TV Ads Showing Pictures of UGLY People... There are Advertisements for a Wrinkle Remover That Shows Before and After Pictures... I Have Learned to Recognize That Ad and Close My Eyes BEFORE the Offensive Images Are Shown... With the Sound Off and My Eyes Closed... That's a Great Time for Prayer and Meditation!

Have You ever LISTENED to The Side Effect Warnings?

How to prevent America and the world from falling into fascism
Eleven suggestions for the next 118 days
ROBERT REICH
JUL 09, 2024

Friends,

Some of us have families and live in communities that agree with us about the profound danger of another Trump presidency. But some of you have close relatives — a parent, child, sibling, even a spouse — who supports Trump. You feel dismayed by what has happened to them.

Others of you live in a town or city where there are many Trump supporters, or in a red state, or in a neighborhood where you see lots of Trump lawn signs and bumper stickers. You feel isolated and fearful.

Some of you are confused about whether Biden is the strongest candidate to take on Trump, and you’re worried about what Biden and the Democrats will decide.

I can’t sugarcoat this. It is dismaying, frightening, and worrying. We have already endured four years of Trump, and another term could tip America and the world into full-throated fascism. Trump has become even more unhinged and vindictive, and more knowledgeable about how to get horrendous things done.

Here are 11 suggestions for what you can do in the 118 days before Election Day:

Try not to allow issues such as whether Biden should resign, or his degree of responsibility for Gaza, to get in the way of your determination not to let Trump back into the White House. Regardless of our differences over these issues, they pale compared to the threat Trump poses.

For the same reason, please don’t decide to leave the top of the ticket blank or to vote for a third party or not to vote at all. All make it easier for Trump to win. Instead, make sure you and everyone you know and trust is registered to vote, and votes for Joe Biden or whomever is the Democratic candidate for president.

Don’t become so upset with politics that you drop out, stop reading the news, or give up on activism. The stakes are just too high. Even if you cannot take much time out of your normal life, you need to help organize, mobilize, and energize others.

Focus your time and energies on convincing people who still have open minds, to oppose Trump. Mobilize those who don’t normally vote, to vote. Organize get-out-the-vote efforts in your community. Get young people involved.

Counter lies with truth. When you hear someone repeating a Trump Republican lie, correct it.

Do not tolerate bigotry and hate. Call it out. Stand up to it. Denounce it. Demand that others denounce it, too.

Do not resort to violence, name-calling, bullying, or any of the other tactics that Trump followers may be using.

Be compassionate toward hardcore followers of Trump, but be firm in your opposition. Understand why someone may decide to support Trump, but don’t waste time and energy trying to convert them.

Don’t waste your time and energy commiserating with people who already agree with you, or criticizing Democrats for failing to communicate more effectively. None of this will get you anything except an upset stomach.

Demonstrate, but don’t confuse demonstrating with political action. You may find it gratifying to stand on a corner in Berkeley with a sign asking drivers to “honk if you hate fascism” that elicit lots of honks, but it’s as politically effectual as taking a warm shower.

Finally, don’t let any sensationalized news of the day divert your eyes from the goal: protecting American democracy during one of the greatest stress tests it has had to endure, fueled by one of the worst demagogues in American history.

I cannot overstate how critical the outcome of the next 118 days will be to everything you and I want for America and the world.

Be well and be strong.

Compulsive Hoarding of Money Syndrome

The Trouble here in the USA is that the Super Rich have Purchased the US Congress and Every State's "Elected" Officials as well... All of those Puppets Keep on Passing Laws that Remove Money from The So-Called "Middle Class" and Redistribute our Tax Money to the Super Rich... Using Subsidies for Oil and Gas... and Pentagon Spending on Pointless Wars... Endless Purchasing of Lockheed Airplanes and Missiles... General Atomic Drones... and Trump's Tax Cuts for the Rich Law... 

Everybody Knows This but... Rarely are there any SOLUTIONS Posted online or on TV... Plenty of "Guillotine" Jokes... but I believe that a Lot of that CrazyTalk® is FBI Agents Searching for Right Wing Nuts to Arrest... Online Entrapment...  CoIntelPro2021  - anyway... I Don't Know Where Anyone from the 1% Lives... and They Probably have Private Armies Protecting them From assassination - SO... I do not Plan on Taking any Action Like That! I'm Happy as Long as I Keep On Winning Money on the Stock Market... 


The News Media Predicts Global Economic Collapse to Happen October 18th 2021... and It's all #MoscowMitch McConnell's Fault...

I Have Noticed that IN GENERAL, People Who Have Had The Psychedelic Experience are NICE People... and HAPPY, HEALTHY PEOPLE... 

What IF We Had People Who "Turn On" The Ruling Class... Currently We Have Doctors Doing Research into the Medicinal Value of LSD, Magic Mushrooms, Peyote, DMT and MDMA... 

Does That Mean that we will soon Have SUPER PURE LSD Available to the General Public? Quality We Have Not Seen Since the Early 1960s when SANDOZ Laboratories made LSD-25? 

Psychedelic RE-Grooving Could be a way to Teach the Ruling Class That There ARE ALTERNATIVE HOBBIES to Getting More, More, More Money! For Example: Dance, Paint a Picture, Play a Musical Instrument, Go Surfing, Swim, Write Poetry, Go Backpacking, Grow Organic Vegetables, Look Deep Inside and Contemplate the Meaning of Life... The Possibilities are ENDLESS!

The Paid Puppets of the Super Rich STILL ACTUALLY RUN THINGS? This "Clown" Manchin from West-Freaking-Virginia is Running the Country... He's an OBVIOUS Employee of OIL, Gas and COAL... and Yet...

Bubble Up Economics Meme - golf course bubbles
The Basics of Bubble UP Economics: With a $15.00 an Hour Minimum Wage and a 15% increase in Social Security people will have money to spend on things that they cannot afford to buy now. The Money will BUBBLE UP Through Out the Entire Economy. Corporations will get more sales... More Profits... and they will have to HIRE more employees to handle the increased business. More Stock Clerks, More Cashiers, More Truck Drivers... and those people will spend their paychecks at American Businesses... all boats rise on a tide... Employers Win, Employees Win, Stockholders Win... 

Bubble Up Economics Meme

So, what can one person DO to get this Economic Plan Enacted? 
Well, Like and Share this Post... Copy and Paste the images and Ideas... Write your own Blog... Rant on Facebook and Twitter... 

What we need to do is spread valid ideas in order to counteract the propaganda spewed by Corporate "Think Tanks" like The Cato Institute or The Heritage Foundation... They will make up any story to enrich the Upper Class. 

They work on the Backwards-World Scientific Principle... Write conclusions first then find "Facts" to support what they want to sell.

Real Science collects Facts first, then looks at them to find conclusion. The exact opposite to Cato & Heritage...
