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!

Trump Says: DEI is Racist Discrimination Against White Men. DEI is the Exact Opposite of Dr Martin Luther King Jr's Dream... He Dreamt of a Nation where people are judged by their character, not by the color of their skin.

What if the National Basketball Association had a quota that said you had to hire short people? Everyone can tell that's absurd! 

But then you hire a woman for the head of the Secret Service and she does a horrible job and everybody's like... Surprise! Surprise! No one could have seen that coming...

What Year WAS America Great? When they say Make America Great AGAIN that supposes that there was a time in the past when America Was Truly Great! 1969? 1954? 1854? 1776? 1620? 1492? 1000 BC? What Year Does tRUMP Want To Go Back To?

Each Year Has it's Own Cultural Meaning... My Favorite Year was 1969... We Walked on the Moon, Danced at Woodstock and Rioted at the Stonewall Bar in NYC... 

tRUMP has a Fantasy Desire to Return to 1954... Back Before The Women's Liberation Movement, The Civil Rights Movement, The Gay Rights Movement and Hippies... He's Confused the TV Show "Happy Days" with Reality... and in the Fifties, His Father Could Buy Donald Out of Trouble... Not True Now...

Should Women Simply Do What They're Told to Do? Is that the best plan for everyone? Does Father Actually Know Best?

2025 Will be the Year of the White Man. For Decades We Tried "Women's Liberation", "Gay Pride", "Civil Liberties", "Eastern Religion" and "DEI" --- Did those Concepts Actually Work? YES! YES THEY DID!

All those movements did make life better for the vast majority of people... Because the majority of people in the United States of America are Not White Men... DUH!

and on a slightly different subject...

Let's Stop Funding CrazyWars® - Currently we are Spending Billions of Dollars Every Year on Pointless Wars in Ukraine and Israel.  What if we bought Firefighting Helicopters Instead? Or school lunches? Or fund Social Security? Why are we wasting our money on insanity?

I believe that both of those Wars would be over within a month if we just stop giving those countries money... The land currently called Ukraine would become part of Russia... And that would make no difference at all to me... The land that is currently called Israel... Could vanish... Or Not! Again, that makes no difference at all to me...  

Wildfires currently burning in the United States 

September 16th, 2024

We could spend our taxpayer dollars on something that makes the quality of life in the United States Better... 

Why not purchase a thousand firefighting helicopters so we could put out the wildfires that are burning people's houses in the Western United States? 

Instead of bombing Gaza... We could do something that makes some sense... We could totally fund Social Security and Medicare if we just stopped the bombing! We could buy lunch for every child in school... Really!

They won't know what you think 

unless you tell them.

If we bought firefighting helicopters, Not only would we put out the forest fires but we would provide employment for pilots and mechanics... Many of those people that were employed as soldiers in Afghanistan would love to fly... And do something useful with their lives...

Lawyers for Rudy Giuliani -- who exhorted Trump supporters in Washington on the day of the Capitol riot to "have trial by combat" -- are now arguing that he wasn't literally advocating for an insurrection over the 2020 election results.

The assertion comes in Giuliani's response to a lawsuit filed by Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell seeking to hold Giuliani, former President Donald Trump and others accountable for inciting the violent siege on January 6 at the US Capitol.

In a court filing Monday, Giuliani wrote that his words to Trump supporters were "hyperbolic." AND ALL THE MATH GENIUSES IN QANON KNOW ALL ABOUT HYPERBOLA...

Trump Visits Waco, Texas Just Like the Oklahoma City Bomber Did - Timothy McVeigh Celebrated the Anniversary of Waco by Blowing Up a Government Building... Killing 168 People...

The Oklahoma City bombing was a domestic terrorist truck bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, United States, on April 19, 1995. Perpetrated by two anti-government extremists and White Supremacists, Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols... They expressed anger at the federal government's handling of the 1992 Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) standoff with Randy Weaver at Ruby Ridge, as well as the Waco siege, a 51-day standoff in 1993 between the FBI and Branch Davidian members that began with a botched Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF) attempt to execute a search warrant. There was a firefight and ultimately a siege of the compound, resulting in the burning and shooting deaths of David Koresh and 75 others.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oklahoma_City_bombing

Timothy McVeigh targeted the Murrah building largely because it was full of U.S. government workers like Barry Black’s wife. Fourteen federal agencies had offices there, and 98 of the victims worked for the federal government.

McVeigh, a decorated Army veteran, believed the government was attacking Americans’ personal rights and freedoms. His anger hardened on April 19, 1993, when 76 men, women, and children died in a fire during an armed standoff with federal agents in Waco, Texas. Many mistakenly believed that federal officers had set the fire. McVeigh, who visited Waco during the standoff, said that the government had declared war against the American people. He planned to fire the first shot in a new American revolution.

On 9/11/2001 I was at Work at The WREX Plastics Factory when a co-worker drove up and said: "They Bombed the Pentagon"... and I said... "Good" ---> Read More:

In my opinion the Pentagon has done a great deal of EVIL in my lifetime and so... if someone has bombed it, GREAT!

We went to work and the quality control guy came around my station once an hour with updates about the World Trade Center and Airplanes... My co-workers liked to listen to the radio playing rock music as we worked and none of them was interested enough in the news to change the station...

I really enjoyed working at the factory in Chico. It was simple mindless work that I excelled at. Since I was willing to put a tiny amount of effort into making great parts I was dramatically better at the job than the vast majority of the other workers... The boss was glad to have me... We made a lot of plastic parts for a COKE vending machine. To this day, whenever I see a machine I remember making every part with fondness. We also made brake shoes for a wheelchair and I kept one of those on my keychain as a reminder of why I didn't want to work at the Factory all my life...

I was promoted to part time office manager and had to learn how to use the computer system that tracked production. I guess that's what made me become interested in learning computer science and lead to my attending Humboldt State University in Arcata.

Chico has a very hot climate in the summer and Arcata is cool and rainy... My wife challenged me to find some way to escape the heat and I took Student loans from the Department of Education... and we moved.

Secretary Rumsfeld Interview with Parade Magazine

Presenter: Secretary of Defense Donald H. Rumsfeld
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... 

Originally Published on DEFENSE.GOV

I spent 6 Years working for the US Government Designing Computers That BLOCKED RADIO WAVES FROM ESCAPING from the Equipment. Project TEMPEST. The Goal was to Prevent The Russians from Eavesdropping on Our Military Computers and reading secret messages. The Basic Idea was to make the BOX that thee Computer Circuit Cards were housed in out of Metal... with small holes for LEDs and Switches on the front panel. This is Specialized Knowledge that I ASSUMED everyone knew because I Knew... OOPS...

TEMPEST (Telecommunications Electronics Materials Protected from Emanating Spurious Transmissions)[1] is a U.S. National Security Agency specification and a NATO certification[2][3] referring to spying on information systems through leaking emanations, including unintentional radio or electrical signals, sounds, and vibrations.[4][5] TEMPEST covers both methods to spy upon others and how to shield equipment against such spying. The protection efforts are also known as emission security (EMSEC), which is a subset of communications security (COMSEC).[6] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tempest_(codename)

This Image Shows What Colin Powell's 2003 UN Press Conference Would Have Looked Like. He Was Promoting the Insane Bombing of Civilians in Iraq... Just Like Pablo Picasso's Guernica Painting... That was COVERED BY SHEETS so it would Not be Visible During the Press Conference...

Colin Powell gave a Press Briefing at the United Nations

where he explained the Reasons for going to War in Iraq.

Press Briefings are always held in front of Picasso's Painting "Guernica" that depicts Insane death from the sky.

Powell was proposing starting a war that would have a lot of

SO HE HAD JANITORS COVER THE PAINTING AND HE SPOKE IN FRONT OF A WHITE SHEET...

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.

George W. Bush (the Son) felt that He Could NOT go to War with The ACTUAL people that Caused 9/11 so he had the CIA write FALSE Reports so he could start a War Against Iraq. Years Later We Learned that Iraq Had No WMD, Had No ties to Al Qaeda and Had Nothing at all to do with 9/11.

PAINTING BY RON ENGLISH

R U SYRIA? (The Syrian Civil War): The USA Joined in this VERY COMPLEX battle in 2014 and is still there today, in 2019. There are about NINE (9) different sides all fighting each other.

It was Started in 2011 as part of the Arab Spring Uprising. Supposedly the USA is fighting to defeat ISIS also known as ISIL. It appears that this war will continue until the end of eternity. Two major Combatants are SUNNI and SHIITE sects of the Islamic Religion. They have been fighting since Mohammad Died about 600 AD. 

The USA mostly deploys Drone Aircraft to Bomb Targets. Very few Boots on the ground and very few American Casualties.
Trump has ordered the troops home but then decided some should stay... 

CLEARLY, This is a Bogus War with no real mission, no USA interest in who wins, and no end in sight. 

It is difficult to take this war seriously as it seems to be a sick joke. R U SYRIA? sounds like a bumper sticker slogan... We are fighting for the KURDS... totally ignoring the WHEY...  and of course, ISIS is an ancient Egyptian Goddess... The Wife of Osiris. 

Often the USA Ships Weapons to the Middle East and then those weapons "ACCIDENTALLY" end up in Islamic Terrorist's Hands. The entire organization ISIS was enabled by the theft of US Weapons from Local Police who... reasonably... totally lost interest in fighting after the Iraq War Ended... HEY, Why would they care? The Infidels were defeated and they no longer had to pretend to be fighting on the USA side... So they gave trucks to ISIS... and Machine guns too... WHEE!

Great Book: "Bring the War Home: The White Power Movement and Paramilitary America" - KKK to Charlottesville - The Turner Diaries - WACO, Ruby Ridge and Oklahoma City Bombing.

https://www.amazon.com/Bring-War-Home-Movement-Paramilitary/dp/0674286073

The white power movement in America wants a revolution. Its soldiers are not lone wolves but highly organized cadres motivated by a coherent and deeply troubling worldview made up of white supremacy, virulent anticommunism, and apocalyptic faith. In Bring the War Home, Kathleen Belew gives us the history of a movement that consolidated in the 1970s and 1980s around a potent sense of betrayal in the Vietnam War and made tragic headlines in Waco and Ruby Ridge and with the Oklahoma City bombing and is resurgent under President Trump.

I oppose the US war against the Philippine Islands. Bombing people causes the survivors to join anti US groups.

Why don't we just let those people over there solve their own problems? We don't need to help ISIS with their recruiting drive... DUH.

It reminds me of Endless War in George Orwell's book 1984. We already have Endless War in Afghanistan already, why start another futile bombing crusade? It's all just a marketing trick to help defense contractors sell useless stuff to the Pentagon. That's why we armed ISIS in the first place. OOPS, it was an accident. Now we can bomb people in the name of Freedom. What a racket.
