I'm a Big Fan of the First Amendment... Free Speech, Right to Assemble... Great Ideas! Headline: Florida Passes "Anti-Riot" Law. Would This Law Have Stopped the 1/6/2021 Riot at the US Capitol? REALLY? They Didn't OBEY LAWS... Did They?

An Often Overlooked Blessing of the First Amendment is The Rainbow Gathering. Every July Fourth 10,000 Hippies Go Backpacking in a National Forest... The Locals always try to Shut Down The Gathering but they always Fail... Because the First Amendment Guarantees the Right to Assemble Peacefully...

What IS the Rainbow Gathering? To me, it is Woodstock with amateur musicians and I’m in the band…


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

Please Let Your Elected Officials Know That You are a Fan of the First Amendment... 



I Said: "I'm in favor of the First Amendment to The Constitution. Today in Florida They Signed a Law That Makes Assembly Illegal. I Believe that This Law is Designed to Be SELECTIVELY Enforced... PRO GOP Groups Allowed and The Rest of Us Arrested... Would This Law Have been of any Value at the RIOT on 1/6/2021 at the US Capitol? NO... Those People Didn't Obey LAWS... The Only People This Would Prevent from Assembling Would Be BLM, Peace Marchers and Anti-Gun Activists. 

Thanks for Doing Such a Great Job as President... 

DON'T LET THEM TAKE AWAY OUR FREEDOM!"

#FRANCE1789 Everyone is Predicting a VIOLET OVERGROW of the US Government on 1/20/2021. Some Call it "The Boogaloo" others "Helter Skelter" WhatEVER... The Revolution WILL BE TELEVISED!

 Here is a Step by Step Plan for Survival:

1. Don't Participate... Young People are All Excited About Joining in the Battle Between the Reds and The Blues... I Plan to Stay Home and Enjoy the Videos of Protesters Clashing... Should Be EPIC! More Entertaining that a Schwarzenegger Movie!

OR...

2. Take a Week Off to Go Camping... What If You Were Backpacking Deep in Big Sur When It All Goes Down? Take a Bunch of Food and Reefer and Relax in the Hot Tub at Sykes Camp... 12 Miles in from Pfeiffer Big Sur Campground... The World Will Do Whatever It Does WITHOUT Your Active Participation... and If We Experience World War Three and The Nuclear Missiles Kill Off All Human Life on Earth... Wouldn't You Want To Spend Your Last Moments Having Fun? 

OR...

and JJ Jim Johnson Posted of Facebook:

I have covid madness. Too much time sitting around thinking. Pondering things that bother me and I can’t seem to reconcile. Today, I am obsessed with racism. If you actually read this lengthy post, please comment.

I have friends of every race, culture and background. Guess what. I like them all. And I don’t understand why anyone wouldn’t also like them. I’ve had students of all sorts of backgrounds and guess what, I really like them too. We’re not the same. Some of their music I don’t really like that much. Some of it I love. But I can say the same of opera, musicals, rock, hip hop, metal, soul, country, pop, gagaku, and many others. There’s sitar music that is absolutely fab.

When I see a black person, I don’t see ugly. When I see a chinese person, I don’t see ugly. Korean, Mexican, Italian, Indian, African and on and on. I don’t see ugly. I don’t have a fear of black, brown, yellow, green blue or white. That stuff doesn’t normally occur to me. In fact, quite the opposite. I see beauty in every race and religion, culture and origin. And I like it.

But today, I ask, what is racism.  What is the difference in a causal conversational reference to race or culture and outright, overt racism? Where does the line cross? Where does being politically correct fail and racism begin?

I totally get the American version of racism, slavery and cannot even understand that thought process, not even a little. I will never understand the point of it, except my recent ramblings on fear based lives…

I know why there were slaves. I know that the systemic racism that exists today is a plague, as bad, maybe worse than covid because it happens every day of ever year for decades, for centuries.  It’s nauseating to me, because I now my non white friends have to deal with this every day. Every damn day. I have never tolerated it. And I will fight. I am adamant if I see that shit going on, someone will be on the ground, begging me not to end them. I suppose I am more violent about this than I should be but I picture it as me, or my daughter or son, mother, father, spouse… If someone did that, they would have to stop and suffer. Yeah, I might get arrested but at least I didn’t tolerate it. I can say without hesitation, if I have been there with George Floyd, I would have stopped that fucking bastard Chauvin with force if necessary. I’ve always been that way.

But today I have a dilemma.

I don’t use the N word. I find it used by the soulless and intended to hurt. But when I hear the word sagging, spelled backwards being said by someone, it bothers me immensely. I wish they wouldn’t but it still is a contemporary cultural slang that has taken hold. But now, what if I hear a white person say it, or an Asian or Mexican or Indian or or or…

How am I supposed to react?

If I say it, am I encouraging racism?

Am I being racist?

Why is it ok for my black bud to say it?

Why is it ok for my back buds to say to me, JJ my nnnnn? BTW, I do not take offense because I look at it the way it was intended, as a term of endearment, and fact is, I appreciate them being comfortable enough around me to say it. I actually love them for it and appreciate that they would. I know, weird but true. And I know I could say it back, but I am hesitant. Because of culture, racism, perception.

So there’s my dilemma. Where does it become racist? Defined, as the systematic and systemic oppression, segregation, categorization and so on. But let me ask this. What about when an Asian says something like that to a Mexican or Indian? Or the opposite? Is that also racist? And what if an Asian says that to a white, or a black says that to a white? I understand that the black experience in American with this shit is so profound and is still so incredibly bad today that there is a predetermined urge to think of racism as white against black. But does it also exist with any other minority? How about male/female or even older/younger?

And finally, this comes to me today because of an experience. Take this example and let me know.

A white person, an absolutely non racist BLM supporting white person gets cautioned about saying “n***a” in the workplace. Not in the context of black person but in referencing a song on the playlist that goes “Bag a Six Figga  N***a”.   A customer hears it and complains. In conversation with other employees about the complaint, mentions the phrase “Bag a Six Figga  N***a” and mentions that they need to fix the playlist because a customer complained.

In another similar case, someone has an artifact of something bad that happened and emblazons BLM on it. Later, someone complains. Who is right? Where does the line exist. BTW, the person complaining in both cases was black.

How do I reconcile this, right wrong what? It’s confusing.

Like I mentioned, I would like your comments on this. I’m serious. It’s bothering me a lot.


and I responded... Yep... I was Raised to Not Be Racist... So I Bought a Condo in a Black Neighborhood because the PRICE WAS 25% Cheaper than the Exact Same Condo in a White Neighborhood and I Preferred to TAKE THE DEEP DISCOUNT. Oxon Hill Maryland... about 3 Miles from South East Washington DC - The Murder Capitol of the USA. Now that Honor Goes to East Palo Alto or the South Side of Chicago... ALL BLACK NEIGHBORHOODS... Facts - Reality - Racism is Accurate.


Almost Everything that Has Been Accomplished Was Done by Great White Men... If you don't recognize any of the people on this list, just Google them... and be glad that Great White Men invented Google, The Internet, Computers and Electricity. https://gvan42.blogspot.com/2017/09/great-white-men-did-you-ever-notice.html

For Starts We've Got To End This Worldwide
And Deadly Nuclear Power Industry!
 
[Email from Jack Nounan]
As a  7.3 earthquake is reported off their shores, as usual Japan tops the week in the news with an announcement for plans to restart 3 more reactors . . . with more protests and new scandals.

 Japanese and US nuclear experts warn that another earthquake
hitting Fukushima could spark a disaster 10 times the scale of Chernobyl, the situation inside Fukushima reactor number four is precarious.

 http://www.abc.net.au/7.30/content/2012/s3532725.htm

 What is it we have become among these severest
of limited industrial and dominant choices
of our personal freedoms?

 In the gloom of this pool, a 1,331 highly radioactive spent nuclear fuel assemblies each containing dozens of rods,  contains 5,000 times more cesium than was released by the Hiroshima bomb and the pool is just hanging there. We don't know when it could collapse, five storeys above the ground next to the reactor, the reactor building looking now like a hydrogen explosion blew it apart. The blast tore off the roof and caused a reinforced wall of the fuel pool to bulge by up to 3.5 centimetres, the hundreds of tonnes of spent fuel, until this month its only protection from the elements by a white plastic sheet. Some nuclear experts warn Japan is literally playing with fire.

 HIROAKI KOIDE: If there's a crack in the pool and water drains out, the fuel rods will be exposed. It will then be impossible to cool the fuel. So if an accident happens, 10 times more cesium than has already been released by the Fukushima meltdown will go into the atmosphere. Depending on which way the wind is blowing, Tokyo could become uninhabitable.

  As soon as possible, those fuel rods should be removed. Earthquakes are striking almost every day around the Fukushima plant...This warning is echoed by international nuclear safety experts, among them, Robert Alvarez, a former advisor to the US Secretary of Energy.

 ROBERT ALVAREZ: You have a very, very large concentration of radioactivity where the only thing that keeps that radioactivity from being released through a catastrophic fire is a pool of water. That pool is 100 feet off the ground in a structurally damaged building in a high-risk earthquake zone. I mean, what more you can be worried about?
MARK WILLACY: Ever since the meltdowns, TEPCO has maintained a veil of secrecy over what's happening at Fukushima. But one man has managed to penetrate it. Tomohiko Suzuki is a rarity in Japanese journalism: a reporter prepared to put his health on the line to get to the truth.
TOMOHIKO SUZUKI, JOURNALIST (voiceover translation): When I went undercover as a worker at the Fukushima plant, I wore protection gear, but over my sleeve I wore this watch, which has a secret camera inside.

 It's about new purpose arising out of seeing through
 our fixes of fettered, severely controlling and contrived
gov/corp. social, economic political vises!

 MARK WILLACY: With his secret camera watch and other hidden devices, Suzuki recorded life inside the Fukushima plant. Working next to the reactor four building, he was shocked by what he was told about the fuel pool 30 metres above him.
TOMOHIKO SUZUKI (voiceover translation): I spoke to a worker who helped reinforce the reactor four building. He said the spent fuel pool has vast amounts of heavy water in it and that the steel support frames were damaged, but he told me that the reinforcement of the pool was jerry-rigged, so if a typhoon or a tornado hits, it will be dangerous.
Meanwhile TEPCO says the fuel pool can withstand the next big earthquake, but I can't believe this.

 LONDON REPORT: A new report by tax researchers estimates the amount of black money deposited by 'global super-rich elite' in offshore accounts is as much as 13 trillion pounds -
 equivalent of the combined GDP of the US and Japan.

  According to Henry's calculations, 6.3 trillion pounds of assets is owned by only 0.001 per cent of the world's population - a tiny class of the mega-rich.

 This reveals a staggering inequality, far worse than official statistics show, as politicians still rely on trickle-down to transfer wealth to poorer people. Nonsense!  It's incorrigible and works only for the greedy!

         Fuku Kids Unwitting Radioactive Guinea Pigs

  Fukushima - Local Children Unwitting (and Unwilling) Radioactive Guinea Pigs
by John C.K. Daly l Oil Price.com
Seventeen months after the earthquake and tsunami that destroyed the Tokyo Electric Power Company's six-reactor complex at its Fukushima Daiichi, discussions continue about the possible effects of the radiation "dusting" the prefecture's inhabitants received, and their consequences.

 Far outside most media coverage, 2012 is shaping up to be the media battleground between the massed proponents of the ongoing 'safety' of nuclear power, as opposed to a motley coalition of environmentalists, renegade nuclear scientists and anti-nuclear opponents, largely bereft of media contact.
The 11 March 2011 earthquake and tsunami double punch that effectively destroyed Tokyo Electric Power Company's power plant complex has effectively become the newest "ground zero" in the debate over nuclear power. Advocates pro and con debate the implications of everything from the amount of damage to the release of radionuclides to the long term health effects on the Japanese population.

 All sides in the debate are playing for massive stakes, with the Japanese government and the nuclear industry broadly indicating the issue is under control. Accordingly, every issue from the amount of radiation released to the long term health consequences of the Fukushima disaster are subject to acrimonious debate.

 What is it we have become among these severest
of limited industrial and dominant choices?

 Quite aside from Japan's multi-billion dollar investment
in civilian nuclear energy, dating back to the 1960s,
 there remains the issues of Fukushima's radioactive debris
of  polluting their neighbors.
That said, there is an involuntary irradiated "test" Fukushima group monitored since March 2011 displaying disturbing health abnormalities that may ultimately decide the debate, should the global media report it, forcing governments to debate its consequences.

 The issue of nuclear radiation on human health cites besides Fukushima the August 1945 U.S nuclear bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and the April 1986 explosion of the Chernobyl reactor complex in Ukraine, but in reality, there are no comparisons to evaluate Fukushima.
In contrast, Fukushima Daiichi has been like a suppurating wound,
 leaching radionuclides into the environment since March 2011,
and since then furious arguments have swirled about
not only how much radiation Fukushima released,
 but the potential long term health consequences.

Only two months ago TEPCO stated that the Fukushima debacle may have released twice as much radioactivity than Japan's government initially estimated.

 That said, scientists do have a well defined test group - the population of Fukushima Prefecture surrounding the stricken NPP.

 And the sixth report of the Fukushima Prefecture Health Management Survey, which was released in April, revealed after the survey examined 38,114 local children that 36 percent of Fukushima children have abnormal thyroid growths.
The Fukushima Prefecture Health Management Survey revealed
that 13,460 children, or 35.3 percent, had thyroid cysts or nodules
 up to 0.197 inches long growing on their thyroids and 0.5 percent
of the children had growths larger than 0.197 inches.

  According to the American Thyroid Association (ATA), thyroid problems from nuclear events occur when radioactive iodine is leaked into the atmosphere and thyroid cells that absorb too much of this radioactive iodine may become cancerous, with children being particularly susceptible.
 Who cares about such an arcane issue? Well, the National Institute of Radiological Sciences conclusions refute the government's assertion that Japanese children in effect received zero thyroid radiation doses from Fukushima.

 Re Fukushima children's health, the news just gets better. Two months ago Tokyo Shinbum reported that 60 percent of Fukushima children under 12 have tested positive for diabetes, according to Dr. Miura, the director of Iwase's general hospital.

 Because the Strontium-90 radioactive isotope quickly decays to become Yttrium-90, which can concentrate in the pancreas, causing pancreatic cancer or diabetes.

 It might do worse than to follow the advice of Australian pediatrician Dr. Helen Caldicott, who after observing that; "It is extremely rare to find cysts and thyroid nodules in children," and added that "you would not expect abnormalities to appear so early - within the first year or so - therefore one can assume that they must have received a high dose of (radiation)" before concluding, "it is impossible to know, from what (Japanese officials) are saying, what these lesions are."

 Calidcott also noted that Japanese officials are not sharing the ultrasound results with foremost experts of thyroid nodules in children before noting, "The data should be made available. And they should be consulting with international experts ASAP. And the lesions on the ultrasounds should all be biopsied and they're not being biopsied. And if they're not being biopsied then that's ultimate medical irresponsibility. Because if some of these children have cancer and they're not treated they're going to die."
What is it we have become among these despicable
and limited industrial and dominant choices?

 Incoming Reports:

 Only touching upon a few of the major stories being released!

 * Iraq:    The war that were told Obama ended! Last week, it suffered in one day 29 bombing attacks in 19 cities, killing 111 civilian and wounding another 235. The war is over?!  The same day, Syria's bloodbath consumed about the same number of innocents. But Iraq was "down the page" from Syria, buried "below the fold", as we journalists say; because, of course we gave freedom to Iraq....

 http://www.independent.co.uk/opinion/commentators/fisk/robert-fisk-syrian-war-of-lies-and-hypocrisy-7985012.html

 * MARIKANA, South Africa (AP)    - Thousands of angry South African workers met Tuesday on a rocky cliff within sight of their platinum mine shuttered by violent protests, shouting demands for more pay, the rage involves longtime struggles and low pay faced by miners an ages long tragedy of human deprivation and corporate greed, a nation whose economy depends on cheap labor pulling precious minerals from the ground.  Police, working with the industry have already killed up to ten. t

 * SANTIAGO, Chile:    Hundreds of students occupied high schools and blocked traffic in Chile's capital on Tuesday to demand education reform. Police in riot gear evicted students from several schools but at least seven remained occupied. Changes demanded would fundamentally overhaul a school system privatized since the 1973-90 dictatorship of Gen. Augusto Pinochet.

 Mass demonstrations initially raised expectations over poor quality public schools, expensive private universities, unprepared teachers and bank education loans at high interest rates most Chileans can't afford.

 *  Europe's Economic Suicide:   Saturday The Times reported a growing phenomenon in Europe: "suicide by economic crisis," people taking their own lives in despair over unemployment and business failure, a heartbreaking story, much about the apparent determination of European leaders to commit economic suicide for the Continent as a whole,
European leaders  failed policies and ideas. It's getting harder and harder to believe that anything will get them to change course.

 Consider Spain, now the epicenter of the crisis. Never mind talk of recession, it's a full-on depression, with the overall unemployment rate at 23.6 percent, comparable to America at the depths of the Great Depression, and the youth unemployment rate over 50 percent. This can't go on .
