Trump was Right. Being a Draft Dodger was a Smart Move. Getting a Doctor to say he had "Bone Spurs" might Have saved His Life... Much Better than Actually GOING to Vietnam and Killing People for No Reason.

 

Bone spurs deferment flag

Trump Quote: "We Should Execute Spies and Traitors"


Trump was right. Hiring a Fake doctor to give a "medical" deferment was a better idea than going to Vietnam... to Kill people for No Reason... my friends that went are still angry about being drafted.

If you had money... you could go to college for four years and get a 2S deferment... THAT'S Motivation to get good grades... If you flunked out... you went to Vietnam... 58,000 Americans died for nothing!

Was the Entire POINT of the Vietnam War Marketing to sell Hughes Helicopters and DOW Chemical Napalm & Agent Orange?

I wish I Had Gone to MORE Anti-War Protest Marches... I'm Glad I Protested against the Vietnam war and I Protested Against the Idiot Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan too. Eventually the US Government Stopped Killing People for no reason... Because of Millions of Us Marching in the Streets!



Back in the late 1990’s Julia Hill climbed a 1500-year-old redwood tree named Luna and she didn’t come down for another 738 days.

From December 1997 to December 1999, she lived in the canopy of a giant 1500 year old redwood tree named Luna. She ended her revolutionary action when an agreement was made with Pacific Lumber Company to spare the tree and a 200 foot buffer zone surrounding the tree.

Once up the tree, she vowed not to come down until she had made a difference. Clinging to her mattress through violent storms, supported with food and necessities by a ground crew, she stayed two years and eight days.

Matt Gaetz Blowing up the Government cartoon


It's a tactic taken straight from the dictator's guide to overthrowing territories. All of this chaos was planned. All of it. They're a bunch of arrogant narcissists so the theater is over the top, but it was all planned. Convince the people government doesn't work. They reduce the size of the government and the dictator reigns supreme.
If government didn't work it would happen when the Democrats were in power. It didn't happen. Democrats get things done because government can and does work when those who govern care about the country and are intelligent, educated and experienced.

Daniel Ellsberg Movie - cover

People that DO EVIL Hate it When Their 
Deeds are Published on the Front Page 
of the Newspaper!
Lyndon Johnson and Richard Nixon.

I Remember Seeing Daniel Ellsberg at an Anti-War Protest March at the White House in 1991. 

George Bush the Father was President and He was Leading the War Called "Operation Desert Storm" Defending Kuwait from an Invasion by Saddam Hussein and Iraq. 

During this war the USA First Deployed Lockheed's Stealth Bombers... They were totally invisible to Iraq's RADAR and They successfully Bombed Baghdad... while Losing ZERO Airplanes.  The Iraqi Military could not see the Airplanes to aim their Anti-Aircraft Rockets SO... They Just fired ALL THE ROCKETS Randomly... because they knew SOMETHING was up there SOMEWHERE because The City of Baghdad kept on Blowing UP!

It's an interesting Scene in the Film... 

Secrets in the Sky: The Untold Story of Skunk Works


Operation Desert Storm Baghdad Anti Aircraft Fire... Failed to Shoot Down Stealth Bombers

Photo of Anti Aircraft Fire over the Skies of Baghdad during The First Gulf War...

I applied for Work at Lockheed Once... Sadly, Not Hired... I was at a Job Fair in Santa Clara and The Guy at the Lockheed Booth said My Work Experience as a CADAM Designer would be a Perfect Fit for their Company... So I went to Lockheed the Next Day and... NO ONE WAS THERE at the Human Resources Building... Just an In Box to put Your Resume... It turned out that at that time Lockheed was Laying Off People and The Booth at the Job Fair was There to Give the Illusion That Lockheed was "Doing Great"

~~~~~~ (~);-} ~~~~~~ 

One side effect of the First Gulf War was that the USA Built an Air Force Base in Saudi Arabia... and That Angered Osama bin Laden... So He decided to Teach America a Lesson on 9/11 at the World Trade Center... This is Called "BLOWBACK" Unexpected Consequences of Actions... Who could have Possibly Have thought that Osama would be Unhappy with the USA building an Air Force Base in Saudi Arabia?

~~~~~~ (~);-} ~~~~~~

My participation in the 1991 Anti-War Protest March at the White House... The Organizers had a Parade Permit to March from the White House to the Lincoln Memorial in the Streets of Washington DC... and That Parade Permit EXPIRED at 4 PM... anyone Still in the Street would be arrested... So... We all walked over to the Lincoln Memorial and MADE A DECISION... Should We Sit down in the middle of the Street and Get arrested OR Stand on the Side Walk NOT Get Arrested... The Police had Busses ready to take Protesters to Jail... and "Jack Booted Thugs" standing in the street facing the sidewalk... so Everyone Knew Exactly what the Choice was... Daniel Ellsberg and a Hundred other People Sat Down Right in the Middle of the Street BUT I DID NOT... I Chose to Remain on the Sidewalk... and NOT Get Arrested... I was High on LSD at that Time and I chose to NOT spend my Acid Trip in the DC Jail... One thing about LSD is it Amplifies Emotions... That Decision Seemed EPIC... 

I went to Many Anti-War Protests in Lafayette Park that week... and One time I Got to Play the Big Bass Drum in a Drum Circle... There was a Man who brought a Marching Band Bass Drum to the Protest but got tired of Holding it up while playing... so he asked me to take over so he could take a break... It took me a moment or two but eventually I got in the groove with all the other drummers and Banged it Really Loud! The Goal was to Remind George Bush The Father That We Were There and we were Protesting Against His War... and Disturbing His Sleep!

on another afternoon I played the drums with some Buddhist Monks... They Loaned me a Paddle Drum and taught he THEIR BEAT... It was a Very ODD and Complex Beat... I asked WHY and they said... You are required to FOCUS YOUR ATTENTION in order to Play this Beat, and Focus of Attention is The technique used by this Meditative Practice... 

Quite a Different to The Classic American Practice of Taking a few BONG HITS and Banging on the Drum for Hours...

~~~~~~ (~);-} ~~~~~~

In retrospect, The Vast Majority of Americans were Delighted with that War "Operation Desert Storm" mainly because WE WON! ...and we protected the OIL... and It Looked Great on TV News... "Rocket's Red Glare and Bombs Bursting in Air" LIVE! - and It Proved that American Technology could Beat Primitive Sand People wearing Towels on their Heard and Riding Camels... 

I've always questioned the wisdom of The USA Helping Saddam Hussein Become the President of Iraq... "Our Man in Baghdad" turned out to be a bad Choice... 
Donald Rumsfeld shaking Hands with Saddam Hussein
Photo of Donald Rumsfeld Shaking Hands with Saddam Hussein... Donald was arranging weapons to be sold to Iraq... Including Anthrax... Ronald Reagan was president and We were selling Weapons to BOTH Iraq and Iran and they were Killing Each Other... 

Here's an Interesting History Study...
Shaking Hands with Saddam Hussein:
The U.S. Tilts toward Iraq, 1980-1984
https://nsarchive2.gwu.edu/NSAEBB/NSAEBB82/

According to a 1994 Senate report, private American suppliers, licensed by the U.S. Department of Commerce, exported a witch's brew of biological and chemical materials to Iraq from 1985 through 1989. Among the biological materials, which often produce slow, agonizing death, were:
* Bacillus Anthracis, cause of anthrax.
The American company that provided the most biological materials to Iraq in the 1980s was American Type Culture Collection of Maryland and Virginia, which made seventy shipments of the anthrax-causing germ and other pathogenic agents, according to a 1996 Newsday story.

While it is Obviously Insane to Sell Anthrax to Saddam Hussein... The US Government Approved the Sale! WHY?  

~~~~~~ (~);-} ~~~~~~

My Father and I Disagreed about the 2003 War in Iraq that was Lead by George Bush the Son... Dad Said That When Someone Else Spills a Glass of Milk, you should clean it up... In this Case: Ronald Reagan and Donald Rumsfeld Helped Saddam Hussein become President of Iraq... That was a Mistake... However, George Bush the Son had a Duty to FIX That Mistake... Of Course, Ronald Reagan was DEEPLY into his Alzheimer's Disease at that time and GUNG HO Marines like Oliver North were Actually Running the Country... 

and Here we are in 2023... I have come to Appreciate my Father's Opinion... and One Other Factor has Emerged... We Now have EIGHT BILLION People Alive on Planet Earth... and Our Use of Depleted Uranium Bullets in Iraq caused an Increase of Miscarriages... and FEWER PEOPLE in the Middle East... a Classic Example of Genocide... People that Have THOSE GENES will not be Having Children for Thousands of Years... and... That's Wonderful! 

Not Only did We Help Reduce the Population Those People Over There but We Found an Excellent Place to Dispose of Atomic Waste Created in Nuclear Power Plants... Make DU Bullets and Shells and Spread 'em all over Foreign Countries!
Here's an EPA Article about the SUPERFUND Cleanup Site of Nuclear Metals... near Concord Mass...

I wrote on that Wiki Article: For some reason BOTH of His Anti-War Protests at the White House were Not Listed. 

So I Added The word BOTH and A Sentence and a Link to a Washington Post Article Verifying the Truth of My Statement.  

Activism against both US-led wars against Iraq. 
He Protested at the White House Against the 1991 Iraq War Called Operation Desert Storm. George H W Bush was President. [40]

I referenced this Washington Post Article:

Headline: 
PRO- AND ANTI-WAR FEELING EXPRESSED ACROSS NATION
By Paul TaylorJanuary 18, 1991

"Here in Washington, signs such as "Bush is Now the Butcher of Baghdad" filled Lafayette Square at the evening anti-war rally sponsored by a broad coalition of clergy, civil rights and peace activists, environmentalists and nuclear-freeze proponents.

"I stand here in solidarity with millions of people around the world who deplore the action taken yesterday by President Bush," Molly Yard, the president of the National Organization for Women, told the cheering crowd.

Longtime peace activist Daniel Ellsberg, speaking in a voice hushed by a sore throat, also implored the crowd to continue their protests. "We must be here in streets across the country," said Ellsberg, who was joined at the speaker's lectern by the president of the environmental group Greenpeace, the anti-nuclear group Sane Freeze and the co-chairman of the African American Network Against U.S. Intervention in the Gulf."


Proof of tRUMP's FAILED ECONOMY... JC Penny Goes Bankrupt... Dang! Wasn't He Going to Make America Great Again?

JC Penney, the more than 100-year old US department store chain, filed for bankruptcy on Friday, making it the latest business to hit bottom amid the coronavirus pandemic.

The chain, known for selling family apparel, cosmetics and jewelry, is the latest in a series of victims of the pandemic-induced economic downturn. With its 850 stores and almost 90,000 workers, it is also reportedly the largest retail casualty so far. https://www.theguardian.com/business/2020/may/15/jc-penney-bankruptcy-retail-business-us-economy

You Don't Need to Be A Weatherman to Know Which Way the Wind Blows... American History: SDS - Weather Underground - Anti Vietnam War Protests

https://www.pbs.org/independentlens/weatherunderground/movement.html

Initially formed as a splinter group of the Students for a Democratic Society which believed that peaceful protests were ineffective, the Weathermen were widely criticized for their use of violence as a means of social and political change. Some accused the group of terrorism, while others accused it of giving all activists, both militant and more mainstream, a bad name.
Firefighters struggle to hose down the smoldering remains of a New York brownstone after bombing.
But for the Weathermen, violent action was nothing short of necessary in a time of crisis, a last-ditch effort to grab the country’s attention. And grab attention they did—in March 1970, just days after Bernardine Dohrn publicly announced a “declaration of war.” When an accidentally detonated bomb killed three Weathermen in the basement of a Manhattan townhouse, the group suddenly became the target of an FBI manhunt, and members were forced to go into hiding. The bomb had been intended to be set off at a dance at a local Army base.
How did the Weathermen arrive at this point? Some of the group’s former members, interviewed in THE WEATHER UNDERGROUND, cite the murder of Black Panthers Fred Hampton and Mark Clark in a December 1969 Chicago police raid as a turning point. What many believed to be a government-sanctioned killing in an effort to wipe out militant groups such as the Panthers was, for the Weathermen, the final straw.
In 1960, nearly 50 percent of America’s population was under 18 years of age. This surplus of youth set the stage for a widespread revolt against the status quo: against previously upheld structures of racism, sexism and classism, against the violence of the Vietnam War and America’s interventions abroad. At college campuses throughout the country, anger against “the Establishment’s” practices turned to protest, both peaceful and violent.
As the decade continued, the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, an organization founded by Martin Luther King, Jr. in order to promote nonviolent protest, grew increasingly militant—as did the mostly white, middle-class “New Left,” which took cues from the civil rights movement, protested policies both home and abroad, and sparked factions like the Weathermen. By the late 1960s, activist movements had also mobilized among Asian Americans, Native Americans, Chicanos and Puerto Ricans, as well as a second wave of activism among women, gay and lesbians and the disabled.

1973: Cease-fire accord in Vietnam.
1977: Weathermen Mark Rudd and Cathy Wilkerson emerge from years of hiding and surrender to the police, receiving two years of probation and three years in prison, respectively.
1980: Bernardine Dohrn and Bill Ayers resurface from the underground, pleading guilty to bail-jumping charges from a 1969 anti-war protest. Dohrn is fined $1,500 and given three years’ probation.
1981: The unofficial end of the Weather Underground occurs when Kathy Boudin resurfaces to participate in an armed robbery in Nanuet, New York, which results in the shooting deaths of three men. Boudin is sentenced to 22 years in prison, and is released in 2003.

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...
