Ending the Afghan War is a Great Idea. Thank You, Joe Biden. ---> NOW, Let's Have 15 Years of Peace... Where the USA Does NOT Blow Up Random Countries For No Reason.

Thank YOU for Ending the Afghan War - Biden Harris - Now: 15 Years of Peace

After we Lost the War in Vietnam, We Had 15 Years of Peace Because The US Government Had "Learned Its Lesson." And then Ronald Ray Gun Took Sides in Nicaragua's Civil War... GEE, Does Anyone Remember Who Won? or Who The "Good Guys" Were? Or Where Nicaragua is on The Map?  I Do Remember that the CIA Imported Cocaine by the TON in Order to Finance That War... My Neighborhood Turned into a Crack Crazy Ghetto... 

Do We Get a Peace Dividend? Since the Taxpayers Will NO LONGER Be Spending Billions of Dollars on "The Great Game" What If We Refunded a Few Thousand Dollars PER PERSON To The Taxpayers?  

The Afghan People That Helped the Foreign Invaders (USA) are Traitors. They Fought Against Their Own People... I Support the "Stay in Afghanistan" Policy of the Taliban. All Afghan People Ought to Help Rebuild Their Country... It's a Very Similar Policy to the "Stay in Mexico" of the Trump Era that the SCOTUS Just Validated as a Dang Good Idea! Whatever Happens, I Sure Hope those People Don't Move into MY Neighborhood... Let 'em Go Live in DirkaDirkaStan... or Texas... 

Team America World Police Movie

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RPBX47zSktc

Team America: World Police is a 2004 black comedy action film directed by Trey Parker and written by Parker, Matt Stone and Pam Brady, all of whom are also known for the popular animated television series South Park. Starring Parker, Stone, Kristen Miller, Masasa, Daran Norris, Phil Hendrie, Maurice LaMarche, Chelsea Marguerite, Jeremy Shada and Fred Tatasciore, the film is a satire of big-budget action films and their associated clichés and stereotypes, with particular humorous emphasis on the global implications of the politics of the United States. The title is derived from domestic and international political criticisms that the foreign policy of the United States frequently and unilaterally tries to "police the world".

The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch by Philip K Dick

What a Fantastic Book... I just spent a few hours totally out of contact with reality because I Lie Down, Close My Eyes and Listen... and Quite Often Fall Asleep and Dream... When I Wake Up I Rewind the Story Back to a Place I Remember Hearing... anyway... The Three Stigmata are: a Mechanical Hand, Steel Teeth and Robotic Eyes... If you see Those Things on a Friend, you KNOW That They Have Chewed Chew-Z... Written in 1964...

How Does Bubble Up Economics Work? Raise Wages and People Will Spend the Money at American Businesses. Increasing Profits. Everyone Wins! Raise Social Security Checks TOO!

With a $15.00 an Hour Minimum Wage people will have money to spend on things that they cannot afford to buy now. The Money will BUBBLE UP Through Out the Entire Economy. Corporations will get more sales... More Profits... and they will have to HIRE more employees to handle the increased business. More Stock Clerks, More Cashiers, More Truck Drivers... and those people will spend their paychecks at American Businesses... all boats rise on a tide... Employers Win, Employees Win, Stockholders Win... 

So, what can one person DO to get this Economic Plan Enacted? 
Well, Like and Share this Post... Copy and Paste the images and Ideas... Write your own Blog... Rant on Facebook and Twitter... 

 What we need to do is spread valid ideas in order to counteract the propaganda spewed by Corporate "Think Tanks" like The Cato Institute or The Heritage Foundation... They will make up any story to enrich the Upper Class. 

 They work on the Backwards-World Scientific Principle... Write conclusions first then find "Facts" to support what they want to sell.

 Real Science collects Facts first, then looks at them to find conclusion. The exact opposite to Cato & Heritage...

Legalize Marijuana Nationwide, Tax It and Free All the Cannabis Prisoners

A Dramatic Savings of Government Spending CURRENTLY WASTED On Law Enforcement and Incarceration and a MASSIVE INCREASE IN VOLUNTARY TAXES! Everybody Wins! We Could Use the Extra Money to Pay for Education and Healthcare for All.

If you don’t smoke you wouldn’t pay a cent. It’s a Win-Win situation. More money going into the Treasury and Less going out.  In addition, states that have legal medical marijuana have fewer deaths due to opioid addiction. Some people simply choose the safer drug… DUH…

Join the Cult of Moral Greyness! Now Accepting GNU Members... Anti-Heroes, Misunderstood Victims and those who Embrace Immorality! BIG FUN!

I found this Paragraph in a Debate in Facebook about the Electoral College. Is it a Good Idea or Totally BOGUS? The Author is Dr. Victor Koman. 

 He said: "Strange... I remember when it was the Left that accused the Right of being moralistic and uptight for not merely believing in right and wrong, but believing in reflecting morality in law and culture. The intellectual/artistic Left reacted by promoting the cult of moral grayness, creating TV and movies and novels with "anti-heroes", making villains from literature and history into "misunderstood" victims or even heroes in their own way. Pornography was defended and celebrated and immorality was embraced."

 https://gvan42.blogspot.com/2019/06/is-electoral-college-best-way-to-select.html

 I believe it is important to understand the difference between fiction and reality. While there are "anti-heroes" in books, TV and movies, they are much less significant than real life mass murderers. Compare the CHARACTER played by Peter Fonda in "Easy Rider" with George W Bush the Son. I have spoken to actual people that were Iraq War Veterans suffering from PTSD. I worked at the Welfare Department in Eureka, California and my job was to interview real people who were applying for Food Stamps, MediCal, MediCare, General Relief and Social Security Disability benefits. Many of our Clients were Homeless Veterans. Every single one of them believed that the US Government was Totally Wrong about Going to War in Iraq and Afghanistan. Some believed that George W Bush the son was DEMONICALLY POSSESSED... They felt that SATAN was running the US Military. That's the opinion of people who served, and then couldn't take care of themselves when they got back home. The Experience of Committing Murder for Corporate Profit drove those men Mad. We did offer free rent and food stamps... a bed in a room with roommates in a big old Victorian House and about enough Food Stamps to eat for Two Weeks a Month. We also pointed out the location of the free meals... BUT, they had to quit drinking and smoking weed, meth & heroin. Many did not want to stop their addictions... Many found relief from the nightmares by smoking weed and drinking booze... It's a Fact of life that Booze and Drugs Ease the pain... Especially PTSD... The Vietnam Veterans Organization offered Housing and Food every day but many Veterans ridiculed that offer. They said, "If I wanted Free Food and a Home in the Barracks, I'd Just Re-UP and they would also give me a Paycheck." 

 In Contrast, None of my Homeless Clients Blamed CHARACTERS in a Movie for their troubles... "reflecting morality in law and culture" is a TOTALLY BIZARRO WORLD concern and has NOTHING AT ALL TO DO WITH REALITY. Obviously, "The Right" has totally lost touch with the concept of Right and Wrong.Recently, President Trump has approved the sale of weapons to Saudi Arabia to be used to kill people in Yemen... The US Congress voted to block this sale but they did not get ENOUGH Republicriminals to make it a VETO PROOF VOTE. Somehow those people feel that killing People in Yemen is a Good Idea! INSANE! 

 I have heard of a Movie influencing a person's behavior... A Young Couple in the South took LSD and then watched the Movie "Natural Born Killers" and they they took a road trip and killed people... REALLY! ...and then... There was The Manson Family... OFTEN pointed to as an example of "Hippie Debauchery" and a LOSS of Family Values... (for sake of argument, let's ignore the influence of Charlie spending over half of his life in Jail) ...and... The Altamont Rock Concert where a member of The Hell's Angels Motorcycle Gang Murdered a person... All of these events are part of American History and I Believe they Really Happened. AND We got that Great TV Show "Charlie's Angels" about a Mysterious Powerful Man who got women to do things For Him... Just Like The REAL Charlie who did not actually kill anyone, he got "The Angels" to kill for him. Of Course, when they submitted the plot to the TV Show production gurus, they switched from a BAD CHARLIE to a GOOD CHARLIE... Hey, better ratings, larger demographic, get kids to watch it too... and we can sell DOLLS if we hare Beautiful Women to play the parts. One fact of life is that Charles Manson's Girls tried to earn a living as Topless Dancers in LA but they were NOT HIRED... 

 For those of you Keeping Score, The Manson Family KILLED Seven People, The Natural Born Killers Movie Fans Killed Two people and Altamont had One Fatality... A Grand Total of TEN People. DO THE MATH! I George Bush the Son caused over 6,000 fatalities in his wars in Iraq and Afghanistan... does that mean he is A THOUSAND TIMES AS BAD AS CHARLES MANSON? Yes, It Does!

 "Reflecting Morality in Law." What the Fuct! Is this supposed to imply that Republicriminals WROTE LAWS that Reflected Morality? The Patriot ACT is a perfect example... Authorizing Spying on Americans.. Very similar to the ANTI-HERO of George Orwell's 1984... Big Brother is Watching You.

 I often hear the excuse "But Mommy, all the Other Kids are doing it, Why Can't I?" For example: some Right Wing Whack Jobs state that Democratic Presidents were Mass Murderers also and that makes the INSANITY of Nixon, Reagan, Bush the Father, Bush the Son and Trump all Forgiven... It's True that Lyndon Johnson Continued the Vietnam War that Kennedy Started... and in the end 58,000 Americans Died for Nothing. Well, LBJ went back to his ranch and DRANK HIMSELF TO DEATH. Instant Karma Gonna Get You! said John Lennon. Libertarians recommends that we take the power to start a war away from the President. Fine Idea until we actually get attacked... and then that idealistic and naive plan fails. We actually have experienced ATTACKS ON THE USA and It was Really Wonderful that Our President was Commander in Chief of the Military. World War Two and 9/11 are perfect examples of why we need to keep the chain of command exactly as it is now. Libertarian Ideas just Make No Sense. Unless you are a CHARACTER in a Book, Like The Fountainhead, Atlas Shrugged or The Turner Diaries... True, after 9/11 we blew up the wrong country but... that was all George Tenet's Fault... supposedly... at least that's what Evil Dick Cheney says NOW... What ever happened to Donald Rumsfeld? I never hear anything about him. Condi Rice is teaching College at Stanford. Cheney is Campaigning for his Daughter to be Senator from Wyoming. Colin Powell is sometimes seen as a Talking Head on TV News Shows like CNN and MSNBC... Infotainment shows... 30 seconds of news and five minutes of commentary teaching you what to think. 

 I look forward to joining another "Cult of Moral Greyness." Presided over by the Nattering Nabobs of Negativity... Did you ever see Rachael Maddow's TV Show about Spiro Agnew the Vice President under Richard Nixon... for a while... until he had to resign in disgrace for taking bribes and getting CAUGHT! Then Nixon appointed Gerald Ford to be Vice President and Later, Ford repaid the favor by Pardoning Nixon... Quid Pro Quo? OH NO! I'm Shocked, Shocked to find Gambling Going on in this Casino! - Casablanca.

 I actually have some practical Life experience with Cults... And The WERE Morally Grey! First, I attended 39 Grateful Dead Concerts and ate LSD often. Second, I Joined Alcoholics Anonymous... Often described by outsiders as a Brainwashing Sex Cult. I Have to agree that it's Actually True BUT THAT'S BETTER THAN DRINKING.

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.

 We were Enslaved to Saudi Arabia because we buy their OIL. If We Stopped Buying, Gas Prices would Double, The Cost of Transporting Food (and everything else) to Grocery Stores would Skyrocket and We would Experience Economic Collapse.

 However, Bush Knew that Iraq Had NO Atomic Weapons so they were an Easy Target ( they couldn't fight back by Nuking the USA)... Most Americans can't tell the Difference between One Arabian Person and Another so... We invaded...  and it was VERY EXCITING to watch on TV. The News Networks Showed Green Night Vision Films of Bombs Exploding... I Remember that it LOOKED Like a Video Game.

 Before the War Started there were MASS Protests Against The War WORLDWIDE. I participated in a March in the City of Eureka, California where about 10% of the Entire Population Was In the Streets... Chanting, Playing the Drums and Waving Protest Signs. We WERE NOT FOOLED by the Fake CIA Reports.

 We Protested Every Year At Least Once a Year Until Barack Obama was Elected on a Promise to End the War. Yes, Eventually Everyone WOKE UP. 

 The USA Used Depleted Uranium Bullets and Shells In The Iraq War... The Metal Uranium is Much Heavier than Steel and is forms an ARMOR PIERCING Bullet. What Happens is that the Uranium Catches of Fire and Burns a Hole thru the Steel Plates of Tanks, Cars and Trucks. Therefore we left a Vast Quantity of Radioactive Waste in Iraq and That has Caused an Increase in Miscarriages... A Classic Example of Genocide. Those People Over Their Will Not Be Having as Many Children and THEIR GENES Will Not Be Represented in The Future. The Uranium will be Radioactive and Poisonous for thousands of YEARS. AND... At No Extra Cost... We Found a Place to Store the Atomic Waste From Our Nuclear Power Industry. 

American Rock Group GREEN DAY Album "AMERICAN IDIOT" is an Anti Iraq War Anthem... Thanks!

National Security Archive Electronic Briefing Book No. 82

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 Insane death from the sky...
Powell was proposing starting a war that would have a lot of
Insane 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.

 It Should be Noted that the Evil Triangle consisted of George W Bush, Donald Rumsfeld and Dick Cheney. Other people who were accomplices to Mass Murder were Condoleezza Rice, Colin Powell and The Director of Central Intelligence...George Tenet. 
Do the Math... The Killing of American Soldiers Dramatically Reduced about 1973.

 Believe it or not Cheney and Rumsfeld have been at the CENTER of Washington DC Political Power for over 20 years. Cheney worked for President Ford... He was Hired by Rumsfeld... 

 The First thing Dick Cheney did for Ford was Participate in the Cover Up of the Supposed Suicide of Dr Frank Olson of MKULTRA. He arranged for the Widow to receive a large Cash Payment... 

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

 There were TWO Wars in Iraq. The First One was Commanded by George H W Bush (The Father). He just passed away... 

 Rest In Peace George Herbert Walker Bush... 

 "He was a very Competitive Athlete. Especially in HORSESHOES." - said Colin Powell. 

 He lived in Houston Texas. So, even if You are The Former President of the United States, HURRICANES AND FLOODING rain on you too... 

 He was a Fantastic Commander in Chief during the First Gulf War. We had a Specific Mission and When It Was Accomplished, We Left... EXCEPT for the Base in Saudi Arabia that provided Support for Our Combat Troops. We Stayed There For Years... That Base REALLY ANGERED OSAMA BIN LADEN... And That was the REASON Osama Destroyed the World Trade Center in New York City on 9/11/2001... 

Protest Marches at the White House against the War in Iraq by George Bush the Father. I was on TV... on LSD...
During the Gulf War I went to many protest marches at Lafayette Park across the street from the White House. We played the drums in order to annoy George the Father and disturb his sleep. One day we all walked to the Lincoln Memorial. I had taken an acid trip with my next door neighbors the night before and during the protest I was still tripping. The parade permit was for a certain time period and it expired while I was there. Many people sat down in the middle of the street... to make a point... the protesters that were in the street got arrested and were hauled away in buses to jail. Those of us who were on the sidewalk were not arrested. I was faced with a choice... to stand in the street or stay on the sidewalk... LSD makes events and decisions much more significant. The police were dressed in StormTrooper outfits and Big Black Boots... Like the Blue Meanies in Yellow Submarine... Anyway, I selected to NOT get arrested... Many sat down in the street... but not me. I stand by that decision today. Daniel Ellsberg DID get arrested.

When we were in front of the White House I was interviewed by the TV News. A couple of days later another neighbor of mine said that she saw me "Make a Jackass of Myself" on TV. I told her thank you, because if you thought I was a Jackass, I was doing the right thing...

On another day I played the drums with some Buddhist Monks. They were playing paddle drums in a very odd rhythm. I asked them why they played that odd rhythm and they said it focused the attention... They had to focus so they would be able to play it and THAT freed the mind to go into a meditative trance...

I also met Dick Gregory walking down the street in DC during those protests. I noticed that all the other people on the street were looking at this Old Black Man... Heads were turning... I Said: "I feel like something is terribly wrong in this country, but I'm not sure what." He said. "Thank You for your Opinion." In retrospect, I didn't say the most brilliant thing but... that's what I said.

We were the minority of people in the country... Most people thought that war was a good idea. Iraq had invaded Kuwait...

Years later a different War in Iraq was waged by George Bush the Son. That was a total disaster and eventually lead to Obama being Elected President... He promised to end the War. I went to MANY anti-war protests in Eureka about that War.

Even Now when Everyone Agrees that the War In Iraq was Astonishingly Stupid Idea... Candidates are criticized for Protesting Against The War.

Neocon Taking Head now hired to censor Facebook. The Weekly Standard Magazine is to determine What is Fake and What is Real on Facebook. 

Bill Kristol, a frequent Talking Head on MSNBC, is an EDITOR and Author for the Weekly Standard. Most Famous for being wrong about the Iraq War, he is a commentator stating is opinions as if he was a "Wiseman Pundit." While in fact he is "not very bright."


While Millions of people protested against the War in Iraq BEFORE IT STARTED... The Weekly Standard Editor was totally fooled into Actually Supporting the War and Going on TV to Beat The Drums. 

Supposed "Wiseman Pundit" is actually an Idiot who Believed all the False Propaganda published by George W Bush, Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld.  "Aw Shucks, I Didn't Know They Were Lying to Me... I'm Just A Simple Country Bumpkin and Don't Know Much About Things Like That." - Quotations Of Billy (The Kid) CrystalMeth.

Since August 15th 1945 the US Military has NEVER defended the country. Not once...
That day was VJ Day. Victory over Japan in World War Two... To the Veterans that fought in WW2, Thanks... That was an important Victory against a real enemy. Since Then we have invaded many countries for no valid reason.

There was a need to defend the country on 9/11/2001 but the military failed completely. Civilians brought down the airplane in Pennsylvania... 

Read History, Learn.

Ever since VJ DAY all the wars have been marketing tools to sell weapons. Why not cut the defense budget in half... Refund the Wasted money to the Taxpayers... We keep on going to other countries and choosing sides it THEIR civil wars. Why not let foreigners figure out solutions to their Own problems... OR... NOT figure out solutions to their own problems... I couldn't care less what they do over there. It's THEIR country...

Since 1973 all soldiers have been Volunteers... Why would anyone Volunteer to go Kill People for Corporate Profit?

We are STILL in Afghanistan and Iraq... Why? What possible Mission could there be?

Imagine if we had spent that money on something useful?

The Punk Rock Band that played at the end of the protest march called for a moment of silence for the Soldiers that lost their lives in the Iraq War...

Then they asked for a MOMENT OF NOISE for those same soldiers...
and played random angry sounds!

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.
