4th of July Tip: Many Veterans Hate Surprise Firecrackers. They Think That The Enemy is Shooting at Them. SO... If You are at a Party With Veterans... Don't Blow Things UP!

and DOGS Don't Like Firecrackers Either...

Remembering Veterans:
Vietnam Veterans - The Wall That Heals - a Traveling Wall for People That Can't Travel to Washington DC
Vietnam Veterans - "The Wall That Heals"
a Traveling Wall for People That Can't
Travel to Washington DC

in Loleta, California... at the Bear River Casino...

I heard a flock of Motorcycles Drive by my house on Highway 101, then followed them to the exhibit.

The Bikers were escorting this Traveling Wall That Heals all around the country...

I Believe in Reality... I Plan to Avoid Crowds for a Long Time... Many People Believe This is All a FAKE Disease Spread by the  Mainstream Media to Make a Profit... Somehow... and Corporations... but... I Disagree... I Think That More People Have Died from Trump's Coronavirus Than in World War 1 + 9/11 + The Vietnam War + The Manson Family AND Jim Jones... DO THE MATH! 

If You Want to Behave Stupid, Get Sick and Die. GO RIGHT AHEAD... I'll Dance on Your Grave... and IF Unable To Dance I Will Crawl across it...

Brain Training - PTSD Memory Erasing Technique - Instead of Remembering the Bad Memory "X" Substitute a Wonderful Memory "Y" - Might Work!

I'm working on Forgetting a Bad Memory of My Own... SO... Instead of Remembering __________ Whenever I See a Turtle, I'm Going to Remember The Time I Heard The Song "Terrapin Station" Played Live in Concert at the Capitol Center in Beautiful Largo, Maryland with My First Wife... SEE? I'm Thinking About How Much Fun It was to Dance with Her... and Then They Played "Sugar Magnolia" and Every Word Was True...

What We Can Do to Convince TrumpNiks to #Runaway from The Donald? Just Saying that They Are Stupid WILL NOT WORK. It's a Brainwashing Cult and...

The Same Techniques That are used with Scientology or Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh should be employed with Followers of Our Glorious Leader. The Basic Plan for Trumpers is: "When You Make a Mistake, Do Not Repeat the Same Mistake Again." I Personally Did Not Vote for Hillary. I Couldn't Stand Her... I just Did Not Vote at All because the Democratic Primary Was Rigged. I campaigned for Bernie Sanders but Wall Street Stole the Nomination. 

Understand that Many of the people who voted for tRUMP are in Desperate Situations... Layoffs at the Factory Caused by Trump's Trade War... Failed Family Farms... Closing Coal Mines... Veterans Suffering From PTSD who Realize that the Wars In Iraq and Afghanistan Actually INCREASED THE QUANTITY OF TERRORISTS... Middle Aged White Men are in Direct Competition with Illegal Aliens for Unskilled Labor Jobs... Low Wages, High Prices... 

THAT'S why Life Expectancy has gone down in the Last Two Years. People are Dying Younger Due to Donald Trump Being President. Alcoholism, Drug Overdoses and Suicide have caused the Death of so many Middle Aged White Men Without a College Degree that the ENTIRE COUNTRY now has a Shorter Average Life. People Lived Longer When Obama Was President.

Overcoming the charisma of cult leaders, such as Jim Jones or Donald Trump, is not an easy task.


Deprogramming is the more drastic of the two approaches because it usually involves an initial kidnapping to get the cult member away from the cult. For this reason, deprogramming is a very expensive service. It can cost in the tens of thousands of dollars. After the forced removal, deprogramming mostly involves hours and hours of intense "debriefing," during which a team of deprogrammers hold the cult member against his will and use ethical psychological techniques to try to counter the unethical psychological techniques used by the cult. The goal is to get the cult member to think for himself and re-evaluate his situation. Debriefing methods can include:
  • educating the cult member on thought-reform techniques and helping him to recognize those methods in his own cult experience
  • asking questions that encourage the cult member to think in a critical, independent way, helping him to recognize that type of thinking and praising him for it
  • attempting to produce an emotional connection to his former life by introducing objects from his past and having family members share their memories of his pre-cult existence

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.

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...
