Bogus ‘Windmill’ Cancer Claim
Trump, April 2: Hillary wanted to put up wind. Wind. If you have a windmill anywhere near your house, congratulations, your house just went down 75 percent in value. And they say the noise causes cancer, you tell me that one, okay?
There is no evidence that wind turbines cause cancer. The American Cancer Society told us in a statement that it is “unaware of any credible evidence linking the noise from windmills to cancer.” We also searched the biomedical literature for any studies investigating a link, and couldn’t find any.
Most understand the climate is changing before our eyes. Implementing solutions has been slowly occurring, but much more needs to be accomplished.

Kari Lake Fined $122,200 for frivolous Lawsuit... Alan Dershowitz to pay penalties too... SEE? BEHAVE CRAZY AND YOU GET FINED!
Kari Lake’s legal team, including lawyer Alan Dershowitz, must pay $122,200 in sanctions after a federal court in Arizona found that the former Republican gubernatorial candidate’s lawsuit contesting voting methods was “frivolous.”
Lake, a former television news anchor, brought a suit against the state of Arizona in April 2022 demanding the election officials use alternative methods to collect and count ballots, claiming that electronic voting machines are not reliable.
The lawsuit was thrown out and Lake ultimately lost the gubernatorial election to Gov. Katie Hobbs. She then filed another suit after the election alleging widespread fraud. That case was also dismissed, though she continues make baseless claims that the race was stolen from her.

Secretary Rumsfeld Interview with Parade Magazine
October 12, 2001
(Interview with Lyric Wallwork Winik, Parade Magazine)
"Here we're talking about plastic knives and using an American Airlines flight filed with our citizens, and the missile to damage this building and similar (inaudible) that damaged the World Trade Center. The only way to deal with this problem is by taking the battle to the terrorists, wherever they are, and dealing with them."
The Interview Took Place In Rumsfeld's Office... at the Pentagon... So that's the Building he is referring to...

AMERICA'S BOGUS WARS - Since 1945, The US Military Has Never Defended The USA, Not Even Once.
Read a Book - My Favorites |
and then someone of FaceBorg asked:
Often The USA chooses sides in Someone Else's Civil War, Gets Real Excited about Fighting Communism (or whatEVER) and then We Get Bored, Retreat, Lose and the Total Effect is ZERO. For Example: Vietnam. After 10 years of fighting, we lost and then The Surrounding Countries DID NOT Fall like Dominos... Believe it or not, There was a "Domino Theory" proposed by Vice President Richard Nixon that Stated that, If we lost in Vietnam, the neighboring Countries would become Communist and then the Entire World would GO Commie and we will have Reds Ruling Mexico! And Attacking the USA! I'm not making this up... There were people that really believed this theory... and were willing to send other people's children to die because they were Fighting Communism. Danger Danger! If we don't beat the Reds in Vietnam they will come right up to our border... ABSURD! For those of you that have never heard of Dominos, it's a game with numbered tiles that you could stack in rows so that if you pushed one over, it would hit the next and that one would hit the next... and on and on and on... and they would all fall down. This was popular before Video Games.
However, Hughes Aircraft, Dow Chemical and other Defense Contractors MADE A FORTUNE... People that sell Bandages, need Bleeding Soldiers to use them up... and then they make a Sale Restocking the Military. Helicopters, Agent Orange, Napalm, Boots, Boats and Food were all wonderful businesses to be in... Soldier Have to Eat... We can sell more MRE if there is an active war than during peacetime... To Quote Country Joe McDonald: "Come on Wall Street Don't Move Slow, Why Man this War's a Go-Go. There is Plenty Good Money to be Made, Supplying the Army with the Tools of the Trade! Just hope and Pray when they Drop the Bomb, They drop it on the Viet Cong..." Defense Contractors kept the war going for a long as possible. Nixon's Campaign Promise was to End the War but he kept it going an extra FOUR Years. If you think about it, We could have Won that War in ONE DAY. A Hydrogen Bomb on Hanoi would have Ended The War. Totally. We knew HOW to WIN since we we Dropped Atomic Bombs on Japan. BUT, we selected to Lose.
One real effect of that war was: we got a LOT of immigrants. Vietnamese Boat People and Hmong... They came here by the Thousands... and then the Country of Vietnam became a Capitalist Manufacturing Country... Go Figure! They did not like being Commie after all. In general, the refugees were nice people and no one can imagine WHY we would go to war with them...
I don't know much about the Korean War. All I really know is the M*A*S*H TV Show and The Manchurian Candidate Movie. Somehow we fought for a while, quit and those people over there solved their own problems... or not... Hey, It's their country, they should do whatever they do without the USA's Help.

On One Occasion The US Military Did a Fantastic Job in 2011... President Obama commanded a small band of brilliant soldiers to hunt down and kill Osama bin Laden. Mission Accomplished!
One of the Many Reasons Obama is loved as the Best President Ever. Thanks, President O!
While George Bush The Son LOOKED for Osama bin Laden for YEAR and FAILED... Obama just sent American Soldiers to Do The JOB. Truly a MISSION ACCOMPLISHED...

Inside the Military Industrial Complex. For years, I did Evil for Money. And then I Switched and Got a Job Doing Something Useful With My Life...
Hey, I was Young and Lustful and My Wife Wanted the Extra Cash to Buy a House... So I Took that High Paying Job Doing Evil... During that era (1976 - 1986) I had Doubts about My Own Beliefs... Maybe We Were Wrong in the Sixties! Could BE! It's Possible... So, I quit my Job Designing Computers to Help Doctors Store Medical Records (The Patient's Chart) and started Designing Secure Communications Gear for the US Air Farce... and then The NSA... "No Such Agency"
Twenty Five Years after I stopped Working there, the NSA Declassified Project TEMPEST... They came too believe that the Technology was so obsolete that it was no longer important to keep the details out of "The Enemy's" Hands... We were fighting the Russians in a Cold War then... and Surprise, Surprise we are still fighting that Cold War Now! "Plenty good money to be made, supplying the Army with the tools of the Trade." - Country Joe and the Fish Lyric...
One Day I was at an Anti-War Protest March at the White House and a Woman I was Talking to asked me what I did for a Living. I told her and she said: "OH!... Good, We Need People on the Inside." I felt dirty and ashamed of my career... The NEXT Time I got Laid off, I lucked out and Got a Job in the Engineering Department of the US Postal Service... We were helping Corporations Deliver Junk Mail More Efficiently... at LEAST I was no longer a Part of the Evil War Machine. Many of the Other employees were from different countries because it was a place that you could get a job without a Secret Security Clearance. Quite Fun to Work with So Many People from All Over the World. We Would Go Party on the Weekends and they Took me to places that "White People" were seldom invited... But Hey, My Friends would say to any hostiles... "Leave him alone, He's with Me."
Many People in the Anti-War Movement were Former Insiders that "Saw the Light." One of the Men who lived in Lafayette Park was an Atomic Energy Engineer. He was protecting a Sign Protesting Atomic Energy. At that time (George Bush the Father was President) a person could build a permanent protest sign that was 3 foot by 3 foot and hand out leaflets. If you left the sign, the police would confiscate it... It was called Freedom of Speech and is Protected by the First Amendment... That was then, this is NOW and NO LONGER is Freedom of Speech a Right... Those 3X3 Permanent Signs Have Vanished... Deep Sigh...
and in today's news: Trump is Attempting to Switch Central American Aid Funds to Support the Failed Coup d'Etat in Venezuela... Still trying to interfere in their Elections so our Puppet Can Rule... Hey, this plan worked for the Russians in 2016 and They got a Puppet in the USA... maybe we can LEARN from their Success!

I interviewed a Korean War Veteran for this Book and asked: What was the Korean War All About? Why were we There? and he said...
After the Japanese Surrendered in 1945, there was a Power Vacuum all over Asia. The Japanese HAD conquered Many Asian Countries and then, when they were defeated... NO ONE was in charge of those countries. Many "National Freedom Movements" happened where the People of the conquered countries tried to seize power to control their own destiny...
In Korea, The Soviet Union occupied the North and the USA occupied the South. On 25 June 1950, the North Koreans launched a Surprise Attack... beating the South Koreans and the US Army all the way back to the south-eastern tip of the peninsula... General Douglas MacArthur Beat the North Koreans back BUT a Wave of of Chinese ‘volunteers’ halted the advancing allies and forced them back to the 38th parallel.
After WW2, The USA and The USSR was dividing up the world and we were just Grabbing Power... Like in Germany, with West Berlin and East Berlin... and a WALL between them.
Chapter One: CIA Cocaine Contra - The USA Imported Cocaine by the Ton in order to Fund the War in Nicaragua. John Kerry and Maxine Waters Held Hearings. Gary Webb wrote the Initial Newspaper article that Exposed The US Government. This was at the time that Ronald Reagan [Mr Alzheimer's] Started the Failed War on Drugs... Just Say NO!
Chapter One and a Half:
PANAMA - A Truly Forgotten War. 1989 - George H W Bush (the Father) was President of the USA and Manuel Noriega was President of Panama.
Background. Noriega was a CIA employee making about $100,000 a year helping the USA fight the Sandinistas in Nicaragua. He ALSO was "very helpful" fighting the "War on Drugs" since a lot of Cocaine was shipped from South America through Central America to the USA. Ironically, Noriega was also on the Payroll of the Drug Traffickers as well. Originally, George H W Bush (the Father) hired Manuel Noriega when he was the Director of Central Intelligence Agency... Conveniently, Bush FORGOT ALL ABOUT THAT Later, when the USA invaded Panama.
Reagan and Noriega had a Falling Out when Noriega started assisting the USSR in Central America AND when Noriega's Drug Smuggling Past was exposed to the public [by Seymor Hirsh] during the Iran/Contra Hearings. Therefore... He became our enemy and had "always been" our enemy... Just like in the book 1984...
So, Panama declared war on the USA and The USA started "Operation Just Cause" and hunted down Noriega. He was hiding in The Vatican Mission and the USA felt restricted by Protocol and would not go in to arrest Noriega. SO... In a Bizarre plot twist... "Operation Nifty Package" - The USA Set up loudspeakers outside the Mission and played LOUD Heavy Metal Rock Music 24 Hours a Day in order to drive Noriega Mad and have him Surrender... And it worked! "Stop! STOP! No More Black Sabbath! Please STOP! Noriega was arrested, brought to trial in the USA, convicted and... GEE, I Don't know whatever happened to "PINEAPPLE FACE" - Part of "Operation Nifty Package" was Propaganda to drum up support in the American Public... Noriega had bad acne as a teenager and ended up with lifelong scars on his face - His Face looked like a Pineapple.
Insulting names is still a part of the Republicrime Playbook... in 2019, King Donald the First calls everyone he hates bad names... Just like a Third Grader... "Sleepy" Joe Biden, "Pocahontas" Elizabeth Warren and on and on and on... Everybody is "Low Intelligence", "Crazy", "Flipper", "Little Rocket Man" or SOMEthing... The #BillionDollarLoser gains a LOT of Political advantage with his Followers by insulting opponents.
Chapter Two:
A Brief History of the War In Iraq. OOPS, We Blew Up The Wrong Country. On 9/11 Fourteen (14) SAUDI ARABIAN Hijackers Flew Airplanes into The World Trade Center. Five (5) Were NOT Saudis.
American Rock Group GREEN DAY Album "AMERICAN IDIOT" is an Anti Iraq War Anthem... Thanks!
Americans Killed on 9/11 = 3,000 Americans Killed in Response to 9/11 = 6,000 |
Shaking Hands With Saddam. Donald Rumsfeld Sold Weapons to Iraq During President Reagan's Years In Office. |
Colin Powell gave a Press Briefing at the United Nations where he explained the Reasons for going to War in Iraq. Traditionally, press briefings are held in front of Picasso's Painting "Guernica" that depicts death from the sky... Powell was proposing starting a war that had a lot of Death from the Sky... SO HE HAD JANITORS COVER THE PAINTING AND HE SPOKE IN FRONT OF A WHITE SHEET. This Image shows what the press conference would have looked like. |
Do the Math... The Killing of American Soldiers Dramatically Reduced about 1973.
A Brief History of the Vietnam War. 58,000 American Soldiers Died for Nothing...
During the 1950s Americans went into a 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 that one by one those countries over there would turn Commie and soon they would take over Mexico and threaten the American Way of Life. Soon, President Eisenhower and Kennedy sent advisors to help the South Vietnamese soldiers fight the North Vietnamese soldiers. Then President Johnson sent even More American Soldiers to fight the Viet Cong. Then President Nixon continued the War for another 5 years before eventually he decided to allow the South Vietnamese to fight their own war and we left. Quickly the South lost and thousands of Boat People fled South Vietnam because they thought they would be killed. As it turned out, The Domino Principle was false. Communism did not take over the world. The entire war was a waste of lives and money.
The main reason we ended the Vietnam War was the huge protest movement against the war. Lead by Abbie Hoffman and Jerry Rubin of the Yippies, The Students for a Democratic Society and The Weatherman staged immense protest marches expressing the desire of the American People to end the war. Eventually the US government got the message...
Ho Chi Minh was the heroic leader of North Vietnam. He successfully threw out the French Colonialists and The Americans. He reunited his country and Vietnamese people ruled Vietnam.
The Vietnam War inspired many anti-war protest songs. Country Joe and the Fish's "Fixing to Die Rag", Arlo Guthrie's "Alice's Restaurant, The Door's "Unknown Soldier and "Where Have all the Flowers Gone" and "Big Muddy" by Pete Seeger...
Then the Draft (forcing people to go fight in wars) ended and we were at Peace for Ten Years...
Many corporations profited from the War in Vietnam including Dow Chemical, Monsanto and Hughes Aircraft. The Government bought a lot of Napalm, Agent Orange and Helicopters.
Some say that corporations had President Kennedy Assassinated because he was going to end the war and they wouldn't reap the profits...
President Lyndon Johnson was the main promoter of the Vietnam War. He is the one that changed from sending advisors to sending combat troops. Even after it became obvious that we could not win he continued to send more combat troops because he did not want to be the first President to lose a war. Robert McNamara was the Secretary of Defense at the beginning of the war and then he quit because all his experts said that we could not win. At one point, Barry Goldwater (The Republican Candidate for President) recommended dropping Atomic Bombs on Hanoi but he lost the Election to LBJ and we never dropped any. We did drop an astonishing amount of traditional bombs, Napalm
(jellied gasoline) and Agent Orange (a defoliant). That killed about two million Vietnamese people. Since they were fighting in defense of their own country they were able to outlast the Americans because they were interested in winning. The American public became opposed to the war in such numbers that eventually Richard Nixon ended the war. At one point, Nixon was so afraid of the protesters that he encircled the White House with Buses parked end to end so that people could not jump over the fence and attack. One protest march walked from the Lincoln Memorial in DC to the Pentagon in Virginia and encircled it. The plan was to hold hands, sing and chant until the Pentagon levitated into the air vibrated and collapsed into a pile of rubble. This march was documented in the Norman Mailer book "Armies of the Night".
Many thanks to all who protested the war as we saved countless lives. Including my own.
At Kent State University in Ohio 4 Students were murdered by the National Guard during an anti-war demonstration. This caused widespread outrage among the people of the USA. After all, when a species starts killing it's children extinction is not far away. Why these 4 deaths caused more of a backlash than the thousands of soldiers dying in Vietnam is a mystery. Maybe it's because of the Freedom of Speech guarantee of the First Amendment to the Constitution. The Night before the murder students burned down the ROTC building. (Reserve Officers Training Corps) That arson was used as the excuse for the National Guard to arm it's men with real bullets. Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young wrote a great song documenting the murder called "Ohio."
At UC Santa Barbara students burned down the Bank of America building. That building was selected because the BofA was making a profit off the war.
The revolutionary organization "The Weathermen" blew up over 100 buildings in an attempt to "Bring the War Home". The Idea was that if the horrors of war were happening in the USA, the public would quickly grow tired of the war and ask our leaders to end it. Eventually, that is exactly what happened. "The Weathermen" selected organizations that were enabling the war for bombing targets. No people were ever hurt by the bombings only buildings. Including the US Capitol building in Washington DC.
Muhammed Ali refused to go to war and was arrested and convicted of draft dodging. At the time he was the most famous man in the world. He was a boxer. He said: "No Vietnamese ever called me nigger". Martin Luther King also opposed the war. So did Dr Benjamin Spock the author of the book "Baby and Child Care" which was the most popular book about how to raise children among the parents of the Baby Boom generation. Jane Fonda went to North Vietnam to visit the Army there and took many famous photographs that were printed in the newspapers worldwide. She was protesting Against the war and using her Fame as a Hollywood Movie Star to get attention to her views. Those photographs enraged people in favor of the war.
The draft had a tendency to select people who were poor. Anyone who was attending college got a student deferment. That meant that people who were too poor to afford going to college were drafted while students were excused from the war. Practically speaking, soldiers had a tendency to be Black, Hispanic or Native American. Rich people could also get a doctor to write a letter stating that their patient had medical reasons that made serving in the military impossible. For Example: Donald Trump was excused from service due to "Bone Spurs"... a medical condition that made it impossible for him to march... It's very likely that this medical condition was totally phony and was just an excuse... A friend of mine got a deferment for having surf bumps on his feet. He couldn't wear Army Boots...
William F Buckley was TOTALLY WRONG about the Vietnam War. He had a popular TV talk show where he would debate liberals. He was supposed to be a brilliant conservative thinker however, he was actually clueless about the war. At the time his show was on TV there were only 3 TV networks and his show was watched by millions of Americans. His opinions influenced the thinking of many "Right-Wing" Republicans. He was sort of like Rush Limbaugh or Fox TV News. A voice of the government. He believed that people should simply do what they are told. He was a skilled debater and could make seemingly believable arguments. Then these concepts were
repeated by millions of Americans... He put words in the mouth of parents that were worried that their children were running away to live in Hippie Communes and smoking Marijuana... Could it be that William F Buckley was a paid stooge of corporations that were making a profit on the war?
Walter Cronkite spoke up against the war. He was a TV News Anchorman and one of the most beloved people in America. He was regarded as a trustworthy father figure. When he came out against the war it was a sign that the people of the USA had had enough. He influenced public opinion greatly.
The "Gulf of Tonkin Incident" was fake. It was used as a reason for our involvement in Vietnam's Civil War. It was an event that did not happen.
Barry Goldwater ran for President against Lyndon Johnson and lost. Barry believed that we could win the war by dropping Atomic Bombs on Hanoi, the capital of North Vietnam. The American people thought nuking Vietnam was a bad idea. So Johnson Won.
The Chicago Riots at the Democratic Convention: Abbie Hoffman and Jerry Rubin of the YIPPIES! (Youth International Party) asked for a million protesters to assemble in a park in Chicago during the Convention. The Police attacked the protesters with billy clubs and the riot was televised. Chanting "The Whole World is Watching" protesters fought with police. Later there was a trial of "The Chicago 7" and they were all convicted of inciting a riot. Later on appeal they were all found
innocent and the Judge (Julius Hoffmann) of the first trial was convicted of obstruction of justice. One of the people of trial (Bobby Seal) was bound and gagged so he would not talk during the trial. A Great song (Chicago) by Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young documents these events. It was also covered in Abbie Hoffman's Books "Woodstock Nation" and "Revolution for the Hell of It". Another great book of his was called "Steal This Book" a guide to how to live as a revolutionary in America by getting everything for free so a person did not have to work at a job for money.
The Anti-War movement caused President Lyndon Johnson to decide to Not run for re-election. He was discouraged by constantly being blamed for the USA losing the war. Often protesters encircled the White House and chanted "Hey, Hey, LBJ. How Many Kids Did You Kill Today?" this constant noise disrupted his sleep and he decided to go home to Texas instead of running for a Second Term. When he go home he drank himself to death. It took years but he eventually died.
University of California at Berkeley was an early start of the anti-war protest movement. Mario Savio and Mark Rudd spoke at free speech rallies on campus and organized blockades of the nearby Oakland Army Recruiting facility. The rock band Country Joe and the Fish got their start playing at rallies. Joe McDonald's parents were pro-communist sympathizers and named him after "Country" Joe Stalin. "The Fish" was a referral to the Mao Tse Tung quote: "A revolutionary swims
thru the people like a fish swims thru the sea." They are most famous for the "Fixing to Die Rag" song shown in the movie "Woodstock."
The invention of Television helped end the Vietnam War. For the first time people saw the horrors of war every day in their own homes. Reporters on location showed pictures of the war and the human suffering caused by bombing, napalm and agent orange. Pictures of burning civilians made even
the most Brainwashed of Conservatives Question Authority. TV revealed the lies of the government about how we were supposedly "winning" the war and that there was a "light at the end of the tunnel" and how it would all be over soon. Johnson and Nixon had a more and more difficult job of selling the War to Americans whose children were dying. Awakening Was Happening Nationwide.
I participated in "The Moratorium" anti-Vietnam War protest march in San Francisco. We had protest marches that day in every city in the USA. At my high school we chartered a bus and many students rode from Los Gatos, California to San Francisco. The march ended at the Polo Fields in Golden Gate Park.There was a vast sea of people and The Beatles song "Come Together" was playing on the public address system when I walked over the hill leading to the field. I felt a feeling of "Oneness" with the crowd. It's emotionally valid to be in favor of good and opposed to evil. The Vietnam War was pure evil. We cut school to participate in this protest march but the principal of our High School did not assign any punishment for our missing class. He told us to figure out for ourselves the meaning of not getting assigned detention. (he was proud of us for risking punishment in support of our beliefs.)
I participated in a Candlelight March down Main Street in Los Gatos with my parents. I also collected signatures on an Anti-War petition from passers-by in front of the Post Office in Los Gatos. One man who was in favor of the war gave my father a book for me. "You can Trust the Communists" was the title and it's contents explained the justification for the war.
The Movie "The Russians are Coming, The Russians are Coming" documents in a humorous way the PANIC Attack of the USA about Global Communism and the threat to our way of life. ALSO, "Doctor Strangelove" ridiculed the Pro War people... Both movies are worth watching. "Team America: World Police" is a more recent mockery.
Ironically, during the 1960s most Americans were in favor of the war because they believed in obedience. The concept was that if the government told them to do something that people should simply do what they are told. During the late 1960s there was a global awakening and people started
to think for themselves and question authority.
I protested against the war in Vietnam not only because it was pure evil but also to save my own life. I turned 18 in 1972 and registered for the draft but was NOT asked to go to war. I missed the war by exactly ONE year. Thanks to Jane Fonda, Joan Baez, Peter Paul and Mary, John Lennon and the millions of other people who protested the war.

American History: The Humboldt County Timber Wars... A Hostile Takeover of Pacific Lumber and Extreme Logging of Old Growth Redwoods in Northern California.
Then the Pacific Lumber Company was purchased at a foreclosure sale by The Fisher Family. They had made a fortune selling clothes at a chain of stores called "The Gap". They reintroduced the business plan called "sustainable logging" where the Lumberjacks would only cut down as many trees as grew during the year. This plan was invented by the original owner of Pacific Lumber, Simon J. Murphy... The concept was to cut 1% of the forest every year and plant new trees so that in a hundred years the new trees would have grown big enough to harvest.
Earth First!
During this time there were many ecology protests in Humboldt County. Including "Tree Sits" where forest protectors would build a treehouse in the upper branches of a giant Redwood in order to prevent Lumberjacks from Chainsawing the tree down. It would be possibly fatal for a tree sitter to be in a tree that was falling and the corporations were not willing to risk actual Human Life for profit. (Bad Publicity)... At the Tree Sit I attended MAXXAM Hired a Local man to "Evict" the Tree Sitters by climbing the tree and wrestling with the people... eventually carrying them to the ground where the Police arrested them.
Others committed "Tree Spiking" where large metal nails were driven into the wood of a tree and then the heads of the nails were clipped off. That way, if a tree was at the sawmill and the blade hit the metal, the blade would explode killing millworkers. Once again the corporation was not willing to risk people's lives and so trees that were spiked, were not cut down. The Forest Protectors spray painted the spiked trees so that the Lumberjacks would be aware of the danger.
Still others went to the Offices of Political Leaders and staged "Sit-Ins" where they would handcuff themselves to each other and chant/sing songs while being filmed by TV Cameras... At one of these events the local police used pepper spray on the protestors who were young women. The young women screamed loudly... and it was filmed by TV Stations. When this was broadcast on the TV News it outrages the citizens of California... There is a biological reaction to young women being harmed... This Media Event lead to a massive protest Statewide and the California Legislature Bought a Large Tract of Land and created the Headwaters Forest Park... The park protecting a stand of Old Growth Redwoods near Fortuna, California. It is a pretty park with a paved trail that is popular with people that have wheeled vehicles like bicycles, wheelchairs, skateboards and baby buggies. The hike from the parking lot to the Giant Redwood Trees is about five miles and simply too far for most people to walk but it's easy for people on wheels.
Another technique used to stop the logging was Scientific Ecology Studies that concluded that the Spotted Owl was losing it's habitat and it was in danger of going extinct. See Illustration below...
Two members of the Ecology Group Earth First! were bombed by the FBI in Oakland. There was a Trial and the FBI agreed to award the Survivor a large cash settlement but denied doing anything wrong. Judi Beri died and Darryl Cherney Survived. He has retired from Activism but still performs as the leader of a musical group. They sing satire protest songs...

Chapter Six and a Half: The "Secret" War at the Border with Mexico... Started by Bill Clinton in 1994... REALLY!
We Need Immigrants to Do the Jobs Americans Refuse. We Need Care Givers to Work at Old Folks Homes. We Simply Did Not Have Enough Children to Take Care of the Aging Baby Boomers. We Need Servants... Maids, Gardeners, Carpenters, Farm Workers, Drivers and...
John Carlos Frey book: "Sand and Blood" is about the history of building the wall during the Clinton Presidency. Douglas Hunter (Congressman from San Diego) was a big proponent of Building the Wall. Construction the Wall near Tijuana caused increase of deaths in the desert East of San Diego... Hunter's Brother felt guilty about his action and now places gallons of water in the desert in order to save lives of people walking across the Desert.

Carmalita Torres is the "Rosa Parks" of Mexican Immigration. She Walked across the border every day to work as a maid in Texas. Then the Border Guards started mandatory DE-LOUSING. People were stripped naked and washed with kerosene. EVERY DAY. Carmalita Refused and started a Protest that Closed the Border for a Day. The final effect was that people no longer lived in Mexico and worked in the USA. NOW, once they get over the border, they stay permanently... and their children are Born in the USA... Just like Bruce Springsteen... and are Automatically Citizens.
John Carlos's Mother was arrested and deported because she did not have her Green Card on her when she was stopped by The Border Patrol. The next day, her husband went to the Tijuana Jail with the Green Card and she was released. All this happened while her young children were watching. "Bad Man Taking Mommy Away." It was a traumatic experience for a child to witness his mother being Kidnapped.
Corporations are making a vast profit housing children in Concentration Camps near the border. $750.00 a Day per child... The Businessmen want more immigrants so they can make more profit. John Kelly (the former White House Chief of Staff) is now on the Board of Directors of a Florida Concentration Camp.

Chapter Seven: The War on Drugs!
Who could Possibly be in Favor of keeping Cannabis Illegal? Corporations that are in the business of incarceration.
and... all these people depend on Prohibition for their Paycheck...
Judges, lawyers, police, bail bondsmen, prison guards, construction workers that build prisons, social workers that talk to the families left behind, involuntary rehab clinics, fertilizer salesman, grow-light salesman, realtors that rent abandoned houses to be used as farms... There is a huge industry that will have sales reduced if Marijuana is legalized...
also...
Criminals depend on Marijuana being Illegal to Protect their Profits. With Legal Marijuana, the Mexican Mafia would be in deep trouble... Are they bribing Senators and Congressmen? We do not know because that money is in cash and not traceable...

Also... Corporations that make products that compete with hemp. Let's suppose the corporation makes paper, rope, cloth or medicine... Those businesses would lose sales to hemp. Who makes these products? The Koch Brothers. Paper Towels... Oil... Polymers... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koch_Industries
and who makes Nylon Rope? Dupont. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DuPont
and who makes Cotton Clothes? www.cottoninc.com/ and www.uscotton.com/ if farmers made cloth from hemp... the cotton business would have increased competition...
and... Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Corporations. Imagine if a patient grew their own medicine? No profit for the pill makers... Some medicines are extremely addictive and dangerous to the health of the patients... All the makers of opium based medicines would face increased competition from the medical marijuana industry. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_pharmaceutical_companies
and... Recreational Drug Manufacturers... Beer, Wine and Whiskey... If there was FREEDOM OF CHOICE, many people would leave the booze on the shelf. No Cirrhosis, No Hangovers, No Traffic Fatalities...
and... The DEA seizes property...
and... The ATF sells guns to Mexican Drug Gangs. Operation Fast and Furious... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ATF_gunwalking_scandal
That's who is in favor of keeping Cannabis Illegal. Follow the Money...
In the Beginning, God created the Kind Herb and it was good. Then he created the Opium Poppy and it was NOT so good. and the Coca plant and the Coffee plant and God grew mold on rye and Magic mushrooms and peyote and Mimosa Bark and FREAKING PSYCHEDELIC TOADS! What was God Doing? Creating all this? Well, as Benjamin Franklin said... "BEER IS PROOF THAT GOD LOVES US AND WANTS US TO BE HAPPY."
Meanwhile... A Mad Dog decided to Declare a War on Drugs! Harry Anslinger convinced the Elected officials that Marijuana was the Devil's Weed and REEFER MADNESS was born. Migrant Mexican American farm workers smoked Marihuana [the word is Spanish... note that the letter "J" is pronounced like the English letter "H:" - Just like Jose...] and Harry frightened the PUBLIC with a Hispanic Panic! Laws soon followed... and Both HEMP and Marihuana were made Illegal. HEMP was used to make CANVAS SAILS for Boats and the discovery of America by Christopher Columbus wouldn't have happened without CANNABIS... the WORD Canvas is derived from the word Cannabis... Anyway... During World War Two the Government declared "Hemp for Victory" as Ropes, tents and duffle bags needed for the war effort were made out of HEMP. Thankfully, in 2019 Hemp is legal and grown in the USA. It's also used to make soap. Most Famously, Dr. Bronner's Magic Soap... a Popular item with hippies in the Sixties... In a law that defies sanity, at one time in the evil past, it was legal to Import Hemp from Canada by the Ton but Illegal to grow it in the USA. So the actual plant was NOT found harmful BUT THE ACT OF FARMING WAS... Canadian Hemp=Good, American Hemp=Bad. I wrote to my Senator Diane Feinstein asking her to help legalize hemp and she wrote back stating... Hemp is illegal because people can refine the plant to make THC, a drug... I had pointed out in my letter that people were IMPORTING HEMP from Canada but I guess she only actually read the subject line... OBVIOUS RETARD. No one actually grows HEMP to make drugs, they Grow Marijuana! It can contain 40% THC while Hemp is about 3%... Why would anyone bother growing hemp for drugs? Diane didn't grasp this concept... Not too smart.
Ironically, during Alcohol Prohibition, Marijuana was Legal. Jazz clubs had "cigarette girls" that sold pre-rolled cigarettes to customers... I do not know if they were really selling REEFER as well as Tobacco... I do know that there were many 1920s Jazz music Songs like "Reefer Man" and "The Viper" that show that the Golden Age of Jazz was Stoned! Lyrics to The Viper Song: "Dream about a Reefer, Five foot long, a little bit hot but not too strong... You're high but not for long If You're a VIPER.When your throat gets dry you know you're high, everything's dan-dan-dandy... walk on down to the Candy store, bust your little mouth on Peppermint Candy!"
Global Warming is threatening the COFFEE CROP. Evidently, the plant does not grow well with increased temperatures and drought/floods... The Locations that currently produce COFFEE are experiencing reduced yields. OH NO! Billions of people drink Coffee Every day! Danger-Danger! My favorite addictive drug becoming scarce and more expensive? Now this Climate Change stuff is getting serious. FIX the Freaking Problem!
I did a "Scientific" study of drugs and their effect on my ability to pay chess. I owned a Chess computer that allowed me to set different difficulty levels. The Computer could be programmed to play smarter... or not! At level one, I won all the time. At level seven I lost all the time. SO, it took drugs and played the computer. On Coffee I played at a Higher level. I was smarter on that drug. On Marijuana, I played at a Lower Level... Dumber... on Alcohol, Lower Level... on LSD, I couldn't play at all because the game seemed trivial... HEY, I was talking directly to GOD and Games People Pay simply was not significant. My experience with Marijuana is that I enjoy events more. Dancing at a Rock concert is MORE FUN STONED. I went to an Allman Brothers Concert during a time when there was no marijuana available and I found that the Music was too loud and the guitar solos were too long and seemed pointless. YES, I experienced reality and reality was not much fun! Sex is More Fun and My girlfriend enjoyed my enhanced virility. She would go steal marijuana from her father and give it to me and not smoke it herself. She risked BEATINGS from her ENRAGED Father but... it was worth taking that chance... because my performance was better... I bet they don't teach you THAT in High School Drug Abuse Class! I have also found that FOOD Tastes better. I remember at a party a girl dipped a chip into standard WINCO onion Dip and WENT "Berzerker" describing how that dip was the most wonderful thing she had ever eaten! In Reality, it was just standard onion dip. I Can make a better dip than that! Simply buy a package od Lipton Onion Soup Mix and a Pint of sour cream, mix well and serve... POW! That's a flavor! And it's crunchy! On another occasion I lost a hundred pound of weight due to massive marijuana use. As a matter of Fact, I'm not hungry during the First Hour after smoking. Kinda Nauseous... Well, one winter I smoked constantly for seven months. Smoking about once every hour all day every day from waking until sleep. Therefore, I was not hungry very often and I ended up eating Taco Bell Burritos and Soft Tacos and drinking Coke once a day just before bedtime... That diet worked! as Traditionally I am a fat man. One blessing is that I enjoyed running and playing soccer... I was light on my feet!
There is a LOT of Disinformation, Misinformation and outright LIES told by the RULING CLASS and their Puppets, The Government. They want you to OBEY, CONSUME, Fight in their wars, work like a slave in their factories and office buildings and mostly, let them remain in control of the Corporations and Government. "Think For Yourself and Question Authority" said Dr Timothy Leary. That's NOT the quote rebroadcast endlessly by the Corporate Media. They always say "Turn On, Tune In, Drop Out!" and they always forget the REST OF THE QUOTE! Check it out, do research on the internet... the LAST part of that quote is "Drop In, Take Over!" OH! That's a Totally Different Message. What Happened in the World was... The Children of the Obedient Corporate Working Man of the 1950s evolved into the Flower Child of the Sixties. YIPPIE! The Flower Children REFUSED TO OBEY our Corporate Masters. I remember talking to my Uncle about the Korean War. He said: "When the Government said go fight, you went." Well, My Generation Said: "Hell NO! We Wont GO! - Hippies became interested in Ecology and Feminism and Civil Rights and Communal Farming in Rural Locations and Writing Lyrics and Playing the Guitar and Dancing and Macrame and Tie Dye Clothes and Fine Art Painting and Travelling on a Magic Bus and Camping and Mystic Crystal Revelations and The Minds True Liberation and the Dawning of the Age of Aquarius... and NONE of that made the Ruling Class Happy. You can't sell many Haircuts to a Long Hair. You can't sell a war to a draft dodger. That home in the Suburbs with a White Picket fence an 2.3 Children and a Corporate-Corporate JOB... well, that's not very appealing after you have STOOD ON THE TOP OF YOUR OWN MOUNT SINAI AND SPOKEN TO YOUR OWN BURNING BUSH. I remember sitting in a field watching the sunrise and EXPERIENCING Exactly what Buddha said he did... The Ruling Class FEARS Enlightenment Simulator Drugs like LSD, Peyote and Psilocibin... People just don't conform after "Bathing at Baxters."
WAR ON TERROR: Domestic Madmen... Unabomber, Oklahoma City, Waco, Ruby Ridge, World Trade Center BASEMENT BOMBING - Lead by the Blind Imam from Queens, Las Vegas 58 Dead Shooting at Outdoor Concert, Endless School Shootings - Columbine - Parkland - Sandy Hook, Boston Marathon Bomber,

The Altamont Concert - Hell's Angel Beat a Dancer to Death with a Pool Cue, but there was NO POOL TABLE for miles around... #MAGABomber, The Neo-Nazi car driver who killed a woman at the Tiki Torch March in Charlottesville, Virginia. The Synagog Shooter. The Trump supporter that Shot up a Newspaper Office and Killed many "Enemy of the People" Reporters in Annapolis Maryland. "Going Postal" a fired Post office Employee came back and killed other Post Office Workers... The Mad Bomber - George Matetzki - Satirized as a Character in Mad Magazine's Don Martin's Cartoons.
Al Capone and the Saint Valentines Day Massacre. We Outlawed the Thompson Machine Gun because of this event. We also have outlawed Hand Grenades and Bazookas. Assault rifles were outlawed for a few years and the murder rate went down but then the law magically expired and the murder rate went up. NRA is a Mysterious Organization that has switched it's goals to be all about donating money to politicians that support laws favorable to gun manufacturers. Recently, one of their Puppets proposed that we ought to ARM School Teachers so they could kill Students that are Murdering their Classmates. That would have been a Massive sale paid for by the Government. This plan did not happen because it was rejected universally by everyone who had a brain... Unless you have been bought off by the Gun Lobby, it sounds like a bad idea. The most obvious problem is that teenage students can easily overpower teachers and steal the gun, then use it to commit mass murder. Think about that for a minute, A High School Boy wrestling a Lady Teacher... OR... maybe the Teacher would hide the weapon in her desk... and After school a kid with a crowbar stolen from his dad's car forces the desk open... Hell, I would do that just to steal the gun which I can sell to a local drug dealer!
Anthrax Mail Killer - an inside job. He was a Scientist that made an Anthrax Cure and he wanted to Drum up some Business. Really. His plan worked because after a few people died, sales went up and THAT'S what lead the FBI to the Killer.
MKULTRA victim Frank Olson "Given LSD by the CIA and driven MAD, Then Thrown out a Hotel Window to his death" - So states the Conspiracy Theory that Later was proven to be TRUE/FALSE we just don't know. - Dick Cheney was involved in the cover-up. One of Dick's first jobs at the White House was to arrange the PAYOFF of the Widow Olson. $75,000 and an apology from President Gerald Ford.

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...
AMERICA'S BOGUS WARS - Since 1945, The US Military Has Never Defended The USA, Not Even Once.
Ever since Victory in Japan, All of Our Wars have been Marketing to Sell Weapons for the Military Industrial Complex.
