ON 9/11/2001, at the National Reconnaissance Office, a Fire Drill was Being Conducted. In a Simulated Event, an Aircraft would Crash into one of the Towers of the Agency's Headquarters.

"It was just an incredible coincidence that this happened to involve an aircraft crashing into our facility, as soon as the real world events began, we canceled the exercise." - According to NRO spokesman Art Haubold: The NRO is the branch of the Department of Defense in charge of spy satellites. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_government_operations_and_exercises_on_September_11,_2001

This is a letter to the editor from Humboldt State University Education Department Chair Eric Van Duzer, Ph.D.

"As I reflect back on nearly 30 years at Humboldt State University, first as a student and then for the past 20 years as a faculty member, I wanted to share some of the thoughts that I have about HSU’s current situation and where the campus might go from here.  

As a student I experienced a remarkable education where faculty were fully invested in my intellectual and personal development. There were so many opportunities to explore areas of interest and develop new ones. I have spent many hours trying to encapsulate the nature of the schooling I experienced in a way that would really represent the experience. 

The best analogy I have been able to come up with was that HSU offered a graduate education to undergraduates. The small classes typical of graduate school encouraged faculty to fully invest in their student’s growth. The university, set so far from the oversight of CSU headquarters in Long Beach, offered a great deal of flexibility to shape our experiences." 

- and he continues on and on and on... for MANY Paragraphs...

Here is My Comment... Response...

I Spent 4 Years at HSU and Graduated With a BS in Computer Science and then Instantly Got Hired at a Great Job. I Also Had Fantastic Teachers That Paid Attention TO ME and what I wanted to Learn... I Did Notice That CEO Rollin Richmond Seemed to Have His Priorities Backwards... and the TOWN and CULTURE of Arcata is a Unique Blessing... So I Remained in Humboldt County for 20 Years... I See on TV That Those People Over There are Behaving Crazy and Suffering... So I Change the Channel... HERE, NOW, Behind the Redwood Curtain, We Have a Wonderful World... It is Often Difficult to Believe That the Outside World Really Exists... Well, I Guess I'll Go for a Hike in the Forest... or Go Wading at the Beach...

My Comment on a Newspaper Article:

‘You Have to Disobey’: Protesters Gather to Defy Stay-at-Home Orders...

I'm Glad that "Conservative" People are Gathering in Large Groups and Infecting Each Other... Hopefully They Will Die and NOT have Children... Darwin Called it Survival of the Fittest and PEOPLE THAT ARE BRAINWASHED BY TALK RADIO are not WORTHY of Having their DNA Passed on Future Generations...

Jane Fonda Hosts Fire Drill Fridays - Ecology Action - at the US Capital Building - Teach In - Watch This Video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_FAOonBBcNg#action=share

As Greta Thunberg said, “This is a crisis. We have to act like our house is on fire, because it is.” She’s right, just like the young people from Standing Rock, the kids on the islands disappearing under the Pacific and in Houston and Flint and Kern County and so many other places. They’re all right. This is an urgent, major crisis. And they’re asking our help. That’s why Jane Fonda has moved to Washington, DC. Every Friday for the next 4 months at 11 am ET in front of the US Capitol, Jane will be joined by scientists, movement leaders, experts, activists, Indigenous leaders, and community members to answer the alarm sounded by young people and demand that action by our political leaders be taken to address the climate emergency.
