Let's STOP Paying Israel $4 Billion Dollars a Year... That's an INSANE WASTE OF MONEY (and Lives Too...) REDRUM... REDRUM... REDRUM...

My attention this week has been on the Campus Shutdown at Humboldt State University... When I attended we did not believe any world exited outside of Humboldt County... We certainly did not have any Opinions about what those Crazies were doing beyond the Redwood Curtain... I believe BOTH SIDES are Wrong in the Israel/Gaza War...

Could this War in Israel all be a "Wag the Dog" Distraction to Keep Americans from Noticing the Infrastructure Failure Here at Home? The Mississippi River was CLOSED to Freight Traffic Due to a Cracked Bridge... But Now, Everybody is Talking about Israel Bombing Palestine... https://www.freep.com/story/news/local/michigan/2021/05/18/arab-americans-protest-biden-dearborn/5130943001/

"Wag the Dog" Movie Summary: Two weeks prior to reelection, the United States president lands in the middle of a sex scandal. In need of outside help to quell the situation, presidential adviser Winifred Ames (Anne Heche) enlists the expertise of spin doctor Conrad Brean (Robert De Niro), who decides a distraction is the best course of action. Brean approaches Hollywood producer Stanley Motss (Dustin Hoffman) to help him fabricate a war in Albania -- and once underway, the duo has the media entirely focused on the war.

The Classic "Just Joking" Defense by Rude Julie Anna... It was all "Hyperbolic" - Just Like the Turner Diaries is FICTION! Not a REAL Plan for the Overgrow of the US Government... https://www.cnn.com/2021/05/18/politics/rudy-giuliani-january-6-insurrection-lawsuit/index.html

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...

All Over The World People Are Waking Up. We Have Realized That The Old Ways JUST DON'T WORK. The Era of Old White Men Ruling the World Has Passed.

I Personally AM an Old White Man BUT... I Retired... I No Longer Rule My Little Corner of The World... IT IS REALLY FREEING to No Longer Have to Make Decisions... Now Someone ELSE is In Charge as I Live in an Old Folks Home and the Employees Make Sure I Eat, Shower, Get Prescriptions Filled, Do the Laundry, Take out The Garbage, Mow the Lawn, Invest My Money and Pay My Taxes...

When We Come Back From Trump's Coronavirus... Let's Rebuild The World Using Honesty and Fair Play As Guides... Morality and Sanity... Why Not?

The Entire Concept of Just Making The Rich Richer Makes No Sense... As We All Have Noticed... Corrupt Billionaires Bribe Politicians to Pass Laws That Suck Money From The 99% and Give It To The Super Rich... and They Can't Even Find Things To Spend Their Riches ON... Once You Own Five Private Jet Airplanes... What is the MOTIVATION To Get a Sixth?

For Example: We Spent Vast Sums of Taxpayer Dollars Buying Useless Stuff From The Military Industrial Complex To Fight Bogus Wars... Is There Any MISSION To The Endless War in Afghanistan?  Any GOAL AT ALL? 

No One Needs Apache Helicopters and Yet... Boeing Gets Lucrative Contracts to Build Them... Not Only is It A Waste of Money But People Spend Their Entire Careers Designing Better Ways To Kill... What IF Those Engineers Used their Talents To DO GOOD Instead of DOING EVIL?

The Boeing AH-64 Apache (A Waste Of Money) is an American twin-turboshaft attack helicopter with a tailwheel-type landing gear arrangement and a tandem cockpit for a crew of two. It features a nose-mounted sensor suite for target acquisition and night vision systems. It is armed with a 30 mm (1.18 in) M230 chain gun carried between the main landing gear, under the aircraft's forward fuselage, and four hardpoints mounted on stub-wing pylons for carrying armament and stores, typically a mixture of AGM-114 Hellfire missiles and Hydra 70 rocket pods. The AH-64 has significant systems redundancy to improve combat survivability.

FREE ALL CANNABIS PRISONERS. We Could Save A Fortune of TAXPAYER DOLLARS Currently Wasted On Incarceration. REFUND THAT MONEY TO THE TAXPAYERS...

We could use the empty Jail Cells to Provide Shelter 
for Homeless People... GEE, That Was Easy!

In the Distant Past... Idiot Politicians Declared a "War on Drugs." - Well, THAT PLAN Backfired and Now We Have Vast Quantities of People Incarcerated... at a Cost of $40,000 Per Year Per Prisoner... INSANE! 

We Could USE That Money to Pay for "Medicare for All" that could include Drug Addiction Treatment.

Marijuana Tourism - my trip to Washington State, The Space Needle, The Experience Music Pavilion and then Oregon

As legalization spread across the USA I wanted to experience LEGAL weed as soon as possible. When I retired from work I did a lot of driving around sleeping in the back of my VAN... I was like a turtle with my home on my back.

A rarely noticed Side Effect of the Failed War on Drugs. It Makes most teenagers HATE the POLICE. And that becomes a lifetime of NON-COOPERATION With LAWN FORCEMENT.

Since the majority of people in the USA have smoked Marijuana and since Criminals hate cops therefore the majority of Americans Hate Cops. The term NARC is an insult due to CRAZYLAWS [tm]. Teenagers are not easily fooled. The LAW says that Marijuana is a Schedule ONE Illegal Drug with NO KNOWN Medicinal Value. AND at the same time Medical Marijuana is Legal in Many States... OBVIOUSLY, SOMEONE IS LYING.

A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE FAILED WAR ON DRUGS. "It seems like, every time we declare a 'war on' something we make the problem worse. I wish we would declare a War On Hot Chicks! We would have them on every street corner, giving themselves away."

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.

What is the Millennium Challenge Corporation? Sounds to me like a TOTALLY BOGUS PIT TO THROW MONEY INTO and hire Insiders to get FAT PAYCHECKS while doing nothing...

This is really weird... https://www.mcc.gov/ 
There is a Taxpayer Funded Government Corporation called Millennial Challenge Corporation... Foreign Aid... 
 "The Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) is an innovative and independent U.S. foreign assistance agency that is helping lead the fight against global poverty.

Created by the U.S. Congress in January 2004 with strong bipartisan support, MCC has changed the conversation on how best to deliver smart U.S. foreign assistance by focusing on good policies, country ownership, and results. MCC provides time-limited grants promoting economic growth, reducing poverty, and strengthening institutions. These investments not only support stability and prosperity in partner countries but also enhance American interests. With cost-effective projects, a lean staff, and an evidence-base

NSA CyberWeapon "EternalBlueScreen" escaped the Agency and has wreaked Havoc as Malware... Your Tax Dollars at Work. Also Know as "EternalBlue" Ransomware.

The NSA designed this CyberWeapon to exploit a Flaw in Microsoft Software... Instead of REPORTING this flaw to Microsoft so they could fix it, the NSA built Malware... An absurd waste of Taxpayer Dollars and COMMON SENSE. There is a formal tip line that allows anyone to report bugs... by the NSA FAILED TO REPORT THIS... and It has caused a Billion Dollars of Damage Worldwide...

Headline: In Baltimore and Beyond, a Stolen N.S.A. Tool Wreaks Havoc... For nearly three weeks, Baltimore has struggled with a cyberattack by digital extortionists that has frozen thousands of computers, shut down email and disrupted real estate sales, water bills, health alerts and many other services.

But here is what frustrated city employees and residents do not know: A key component of the malware that cybercriminals used in the attack was developed at taxpayer expense a short drive down the Baltimore-Washington Parkway at the National Security Agency, according to security experts briefed on the case.

Since 2017, when the N.S.A. lost control of the tool, EternalBlue, it has been picked up by state hackers in North Korea, Russia and, more recently, China, to cut a path of destruction around the world, leaving billions of dollars in damage. But over the past year, the cyberweapon has boomeranged back and is now showing up in the N.S.A.’s own backyard.

N.S.A. Denies Its Cyberweapon Was Used in Baltimore Attack, Congressman Says... BALTIMORE — A Maryland congressman said on Friday that the National Security Agency had denied that one of its hacking tools, stolen in 2017, was used in a ransomware attack on Baltimore’s government that had disrupted city services for more than three weeks.

The statement, made by Representative C.A. Dutch Ruppersberger, came in response to an article in The New York Times last weekend. The Times was told by people directly involved in the investigation in Baltimore that the N.S.A. tool, EternalBlue, was found in the city’s network by all four contractors hired to study the attack and restore computer services.

Investigators are still trying to determine the exact chronology of the attack. The leading theory is that hackers broke in through an open server in Baltimore’s network, installed a back door and then used EternalBlue to move across the city’s computers searching for valuable servers to infect, said the people involved in the investigation.

This week, the contractors discovered an additional software tool, called a web shell, on Baltimore’s networks. They believe the web shell may have been used in conjunction with EternalBlue and another hacking technique known as “pass-the-hash,” which uses stolen credentials, to spread the ransomware.

Great Book: "Trumpocracy: The Corruption of the American Republic" by David Frum - How Trump is looting America in order to steal more money for himself.

Bestselling author, former White House speechwriter, and Atlantic columnist and media commentator David Frum explains why President Trump has undermined our most important institutions in ways even the most critical media has missed, in this thoughtful and hard-hitting book that is a warning for democracy and America’s future.

"From Russia to South Africa, from Turkey to the Philippines, from Venezuela to Hungary, authoritarian leaders have smashed restraints on their power. Media freedom and judicial independence have eroded. The right to vote remains, but the right to have one’s vote counted fairly may not. Until the US presidential election of 2016, the global decline of democracy seemed a concern for other peoples in other lands. . . . That complacent optimism has been upended by the political rise of Donald Trump. The crisis is upon Americans, here and now."

Quietly, steadily, Trump and his administration are damaging the tenets and accepted practices of American democracy, perhaps irrevocably. As he and his family enrich themselves, the presidency itself falls into the hands of the generals and financiers who surround him.

While much of the country has been focused on Russia, David Frum has been collecting the lies, obfuscations, and flagrant disregard for the traditional limits placed on the office of the presidency. In Trumpocracy, he documents how Trump and his administration are steadily damaging the tenets and accepted practices of American democracy. During his own White House tenure as George W. Bush’s speechwriter, Frum witnessed the ways the presidency is limited not by law but by tradition, propriety, and public outcry, all now weakened. Whether the Trump presidency lasts two, four, or eight more years, he has changed the nature of the office for the worse, and likely for decades.

In this powerful and eye-opening book, Frum makes clear that the hard work of recovery starts at home. Trumpocracy outlines how Trump could push America toward illiberalism, what the consequences could be for our nation and our everyday lives, and what we can do to prevent it.
