Socialism is working great in some places... The Netherlands, Denmark, Finland, Norway, Sweden... and speaking of free cheese...

FOOD STAMPS (SNAP) Benefit Real People... as Jamai said, "Every dollar of food stamps that is spent in the county frees up a dollar that would have been used for food to be spent on shoes, textbooks, weed, gasoline, rent, clothes... It Stimulates the Economy..." (not an exact quote but she said something like that) Clerks, Truck Drivers and Stockers are hired at WINCO to serve the extra customers...

Written in response to a Facebook Meme.
"Mice die in mouse traps because they don’t understand why the cheese is free. It’s the same with socialism."

The US Taboo Against Socialism: America’s Unofficial Religion: the War on an Idea by Abby Martin (Empire Files)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oJzv51pQ904
America’s Unofficial Religion is a documentary about the origin of the American taboo against socialism.

Maybe we should become Allies with Russia. End the Cold War and learn how to do business together.

What if Trump's right? What if all this anti-Russian panic is absurd? Why don't we stop with all the fear and loathing an let Exxon Mobil drill for oil in Siberia? We had a good partnership in World War Two. Then there was decades of bizarre anti-communist panic.

Well, The Russians simply want to make America another subject country bowing down to Putin's every desire. They already have Czar Donald the Puppet dancing on their strings...

I heard that during the 1950s Senator Joe McCarthy and the House In American Activities Committee hassled folksingers like Pete Seeger about whether or not he was a member of the communist party. People in Hollywood had their careers ruined because the government was afraid that they would use the power of films to influence public opinion and allow Commie Ideas to brainwash the masses. Seems absurd now...

Then we fought wars in Korea, Vietnam and Nicaragua to prevent creeping Communism from taking over the World. Well, we found out that even the USSR and China didn't like Communism. Not much danger of that economic system taking over... In the mean time, the USA lost over 50,000 lives and spent trillions of dollars fighting an enemy that was doomed to fail from within.

Why don't we just learn to get along? Sure, their country has problems. For example: they kill newspaper reporters that criticize Putin and they let their "Mafia" steal all the "Worker's Assets". Yes, THEY have troubles but are they not our troubles but THEIRS? Shouldn't we stop trying to "Improve" their government's behavior by imposing Sanctions? Why can't we be friends?

If we stopped believing the Cold War Brainwashing maybe everyone would be better off...

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...
