When I Was a Kid... We Had The "Weather Underground" Anti-War Protesters... Why Don't We Have People Like That Today?

While Many People Protested against the Vietnam War... One extreme group felt that "Bringing the War Home" was a good plan... Bombing locations in the USA where Evil was Being Done... At the time, I thought it was a bad idea. But maybe I was wrong...

The Weather Underground was an American militant organization active from 1969 until 1977. It was. a faction of the Students for a Democratic Society (SDS).The group's express political goal was to create a revolutionary party to overthrow the United States government...

The Weatherman exploded bombs at the Pentagon and Defense Contractors Offices on college campuses... In order to give them the message that what they were doing was Evil... And we're not going to take it anymore... 

They kept on bombing the buildings of evil people until one of their bombs blew up their own home... Where they made the bombs... 

I understand the basic concept because if you look at it... Monsanto made a fortune selling Napalm and Agent Orange... And Bell Helicopter sold a lot of Huey's - also known as Puff the Magic Dragon...

They took their name of the organization from the Bob Dylan song lyric... "You don't need to be a weatherman to know which way the wind blows."

Weatherman—the Weather Underground Organization—was the most famous group of young people committed to revolutionary violence to emerge out of the late 1960s. In protest of American racism and the Vietnam War, they detonated more than two dozen dynamite bombs between 1970 and 1975, and hit some spectacular targets, including the Pentagon, the State Department, and the U.S. Capitol Building. For years, leaders of the group such as Bill Ayers, Bernardine Dorhn, and Mark Rudd appeared on FBI wanted posters in every post office in the country. The charges that the federal government brought against Weatherman carried scores of years in prison as penalties. Weatherman’s outlaw legend has endured to this day—surfacing, for instance, in a 2002 documentary that was nominated for an Academy Award, and in the 2012 feature The Company You Keep, starring Robert Redford as a Weatherman veteran haunted by his past and Julie Christie as a Weatherman veteran still committed to revolution...

Firefighters battle large blaze at Chevron refinery in Southern California... 

Was it ARSON? ECO-TERRORISM?

https://abcnews.go.com/US/large-fire-erupts-chevron-refinery-southern-california/story?id=126171692

When I'm seated at the computer, I observe this crepe myrtle tree out the window... 

If you pay attention to TV news, apparently, people far away from here are behaving crazy and their lives suck because of their insane behavior... Here in California's Central Valley... Life is pretty good... 

The people next door had a new fence built to replace the old falling down fence... And we had long soaking rain in the morning... So I looked at the Cal Fire map and the only places that are burning in California are up in the Trinity Alps between Eureka and Redding... If you know your geography, that's about 20 miles from our home in Eureka... So while those wildfires are bad for Bigfoot... And bad for the Indians on the Hoopa reservation.... Victoria is not affected... 

https://www.fire.ca.gov/incidents

And I read on the Cal Fire map page that... While the federal government is shut down, the state of California is still funding Cal Fire... In case we need to rescue the citizens of California... 

and SE Said:
Great photos of the Wild Mouse! I remember it from when I was a kid. Some time in the 70s its name changed to the Jet Star, and that's what it was called throughout the 80s, and I rode it countless times. Nowadays it's a whole new ride with a whole new name, and I've been hesitant to ride it because it looks a bit scary, and I'm not as adventurous as I was when I was younger when it comes to rides. But maybe next time I'm at the Boardwalk, I'll get up the nerve to ride it.

and I Replied:
My father and I rode the wild mouse when I was a child. After that ride he said: " I'm never riding a roller coaster ever again. Next time you get another kid to go along with you to feel the other seat." and in fact, he never did write a roller coaster ever again!

Now that I'm 71 years of age... I don't think I would ever ride a roller coaster ever again... It's just not fun... I remember one of the first times I smoked marijuana... I rode the giant Dipper... And that was an outrageous experience... Glad I did it but damn!

"The Vietnam War by Ken Burns" - TV Show - 18 hours! Since It was The Major Event of my childhood... It was quite important to learn the accurate history... Starting in 1850 with the country of France invading Vietnam and making it a colony... I LOVE PBS

I donated $100 and that unlocked "My Passport" so I can watch any PBS show at any time...

I did not go to Vietnam. Since I turned 18 in 1972 I was required to register for the draft but was NOT called to serve... Very lucky for me... 

There's a lot of film of President Kennedy, Johnson and Nixon... One little known fact is that Kennedy planned to end the war entirely in 1965. And he signed a Presidential Directive... Of course, since he was assassinated... That plan did not happen... It makes me wonder about the motive for the Kennedy assassination... Dow Chemical made a fortune selling Napalm and Agent Orange to the US Military and so if Kennedy ended the war they would lose a lot of business... Possible motive... 

There was no mention in this documentary of the burning of the Bank of America in Isla Vista near the University of California Santa Barbara... An event that happened when my brother was a student there... 






But I am "in" the documentary... I went to "The Moratorium" and marched in San Francisco and eventually ended up at the polo fields... We chartered a bus from Los Gatos High School, cut class, and then protested... The next day we were all called into the principal's office... And he told us that there would be no punishment for cutting class... And that we should think about why...

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

 

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.

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.

Vile an impious evil man..who has poison many people's lives with his network of hateful bigotry and his bullshit belief of an ethnic white supremacy. Another ignor**nt brainwashed Australian immigrant, who calls other immigrants illegal while living in native American stolen land.

Trump is not a Baby Boomer... He's from an earlier generation... We grew up listening to The Beatles, the Grateful Dead And The Beach Boys and his generation loved Elvis...

The baby boom generation started when American soldiers came back from World War II, got married and had children... but Trump's family never participated in World War II... not even fighting for the Germans! Trump's from that generation of men whose fathers stayed safely at home and took advantage of the lonely women whose boyfriends went to war...

When Trump says "Make America Great Again", the "Again" part of that slogan is referring referring to the 1950s as the era when America was greatest... and he wants to take us back to the 1950s... 

I think America was greatest in 1969... We walked on the moon, we danced at Woodstock and we rioted at Stonewall... Trump wants to take us back to a Time before civil rights, before women's lib,  before gay rights and before hippies... But he has not invented a magical time machine... it's all lies... there's no possibility then he will actually take us back in time to when he was a young man...

and his father could get him out of any trouble he got into... Fred, his father, would just show up with suitcases full of $100 bills and magically fix All of Donald's problems... Well, none of that's going to happen... Fred's dead... And Donald's going to have to face up to all of his problems... after he loses this election he's going to go to trial and get sentenced to prison and then spend the rest of his life crying in a jail cell... unless he flees to Venezuela!

It's obvious that Trump had never taken psychedelic drugs... Just look at his outlook on life, his fundamental beliefs... Obviously he comes from a Time before the Psychedelic experience... The Dark Ages...
