Learn from History. OR DON'T! We Are Free to Keep Making the Same Mistakes Again and Again and Again. Remember the AIDS QUILT When Promoting PRIDE Month.

New Pride Flag - Big White Area Celebrating European American Pride!

Did You Know? The Main Way AIDS Was Spread was Gay Men Sex. Women Having Sex With Other Women Was NOT a Major Vector. Later, some Men who Got AIDS From Other Men Spread Their Disease To Women because They Had Sex With Both Men and Women... That's History. Learn... OR DON'T!

Everyone Has The Option of Pretending Reality Does Not Exist but... That FAILS! and Sometimes Beliefs Are Fatal... 

AIDS Quilt

https://www.aidsmemorial.org/quilt-history

The Quilt was conceived in November of 1985 by long-time San Francisco gay rights activist Cleve Jones. Since the 1978 assassinations of gay San Francisco Supervisor Harvey Milk and Mayor George Moscone, Jones had helped organize the annual candlelight march honoring these men. While planning the 1985 march, he learned that over 1,000 San Franciscans had been lost to AIDS. He asked each of his fellow marchers to write on placards the names of friends and loved ones who had died of AIDS. At the end of the march, Jones and others stood on ladders taping these placards to the walls of the San Francisco Federal Building. The wall of names looked like a patchwork quilt.

Headline: San Francisco Banning Public Sex: (4/10/1984)
After more than a year of controversy over homosexual public meeting places that critics say contribute to the spread of AIDS (acquired immune deficiency syndrome), city public health director Mervyn F. Silverman today announced steps to ban sexual activity in homosexual bathhouses, sex clubs and the back rooms of bookstores... 

"If they're going to send some 1984 Orwellian 'Big Brother' goons in there to see what people are doing, that's fine with me, but it's closing me down," said Bill Jones, owner of Sutro Baths, where heterosexuals and homosexuals often gather for anonymous sexual activity...

Makes Me Grateful That We DON'T Live In Those Times... The Government in the Early 1960s Had a LOT of Crazy Ideas... but, We Staged a Revolution in the Late 1960s and Changed the World Forever!


1967: The Summer of Love... San Francisco, Hippies, Flower Power, Peace, The Diggers, Haight Ashbury, LSD and the Grateful Dead. It certainly has been a Long Strange Trip. Congratulations to all those of us who have survived... One thing is for certain...

The culture of the United States was 
radically different After the 1960's... 
LSD Psychedelic Art by Greg Vanderlaan vandergreg gvan42 purple64ets gregvan

The conformism of the 1950's was blown away when LSD became widely available. Owsley made the chemical and made it available at Acid Tests with Ken Kesey and the Grateful Dead. He also gave it to the Beatles for their Magical Mystery Tour. The spirit lives on in a yearly camping trip called The Rainbow Gathering. It's like Woodstock but the performers are not paid and I'm in the Band.

American History: Author Ken Kesey was a Paid test subject in Project MKULTRA, the CIA LSD Experiment to see if Drugs could be used as weapons of war.

 They also tested LSD on Robert Hunter (Lyrics-Grateful Dead) and Stewart Brand (Whole Earth Catalog Author). Ken Kesey Employed the Dead to play at his Acid Tests... so, WAS the Grateful Dead Tour a CIA Experiment to see what would happen if millions of people used LSD? I certainly feel that if the Police WANTED to arrest all the LSD Merchants that worked the Parking Lot, they would have had an easy time... So, maybe they were bought off by the CIA so that the MASSIVE Distribution of LSD could continue... Maybe the Grateful Dead Tour was DEPLOYMENT of MKULTRA because the CIA felt that they were undermining the Anti-War Movement... Radicals that were Protesting took LSD and Dropped Out to go live on Communes in the country, grow some vegetables, chickens, weed and Children...

Mickey Hart and Bob Weir belong to the Bohemian Grove... This all makes sense to me as The Grove was started as a getaway for artists, musicians and journalists who wanted a private place to party outside of San Francisco... So Bob Weir and Mickey Hart would be a great addition to group sing alongs around the campfire...

Timothy Leary was a CIA employee who wrote the "Leary Personality Test" years before he ate Magic Mushrooms and LSD.

and then KPL said on FaceBooB... another Kingdom... 
Let’s say we do what Trump wants and just let everyone get infected with COVID 19 and weed out those that don’t make it through. Okay now let’s say that’s 3% of the US population. That’s 9,930,000 people with the US population being 310,000,000 in 2020. Are you willing to let that many people die or suffer with debilitating complications from the virus? I know I have ethics and morals and I’m not willing to do that. And now the CDC postings can’t even be trusted because Trump has taken control of that agency and their messaging. Wear your damn masks, social distance, wash your hands frequently and use your brain unless you are willing to let that many people die! And now that kids are going back to school and most people are back to work too the flu and colds that can cause bronchitis are going to go up and hospitalizations combined with COVID cases are going to completely overwhelm our hospitals again. What are you going to do when there’s no room at the hospital and you get in a car accident or you start having symptoms of a stroke or heart attack?

PW Replied: 

Exactly why we don't have Medicare4All. It's genocide.

I don't care who anyone is voting for. Seriously I don't. So long as they don't try to vote shame me.


But it's clear the DNC doesn't give a SHIT about people and only maintaining their Corporate COUP agenda. The oligarchy will continue to whip up Trump's rhetoric to make us fall in line.

By continuing to DEMAND #Medicare4All we keep pressure on them until November!

I think this is all just a sick game the uber rich are playing to see what it takes to make us give up with NO concessions on their part! Greedy bastards.

Oh hell no! Biden is starting to tank! Watch Trump get even more scary to make us concede to their agenda!

If the DNC was Sincere about wanting to win
they would offer Medicare4All!

90% Of voters ... Game over! ... but they didn't! Ask yourself why?


and then KPL said: 

I will say that the #1 proposal at the Michigan Democratic Party convention this past weekend was Medicare for All and was adopted as a party priority, at least that how I read it when I was sent a link to the proposals made to the party this last weekend. I’m not saying that it will happen or guaranteeing anything, I’m just telling you it was #1 on issues. And yes, Biden is a POS and so are many dems as well as most all republicans. They all suck.

and then VD on FaceBooB said: 

Excerpts from Robert Harrington's excellent article tonight, Palmer Report:
Whatever choice Trump made, his base was safe. He didn’t need to pander to them, what he needed was to pander to the fence sitters. He could have scooped them up because many of them were still available for the scooping. All he had to do was roll up his sleeves and get ahead of the best that Europe and Asia were doing in response to the pandemic and beat them at their own game. He already had Obama’s 69 page pandemic response playbook. He could have taken credit for its contents, just like he took credit for Obama’s economy.
The murder of George Floyd was even easier. All Trump had to do was condemn his murder, sign a toothless executive order and denounce police violence against people of color. There’s very little actual work involved in that.
Imagine the boasts Trump could have proclaimed had he beat South Korea and Germany and New Zealand and Iceland at their own games. Imagine the endless bragging he could have done at the RNC. Instead, the European Union, with a larger population than the United States, averages 77 deaths a day, while the United States averages over a thousand. Instead, Trump gave a rambling, barely coherent, rancid speech on the final night, replete with his usual boneheaded mispronunciations (Waldorf instead of walled-off, resilience in place of reliance, etc) and a putrid abuse of jingoistic fireworks and songs, one of which that will no doubt have the estate of Leonard Cohen sending cease and desist orders very soon.

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.

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...
