If One Pill Can Kill... My Advice is to Not Eat Fentanyl at All... BUT... For Safety's Sake, Why Not Take Half a Fentanyl and then Wait an Hour before Taking the Other Half... OR Not... Maybe a Half Pill Got You High Enough?

Of Course... If You are High on Fentanyl You Might NOT Be able to Make a Valid Decision about Taking Another Half Pill... The Questions "Am I High Enough" might be Just Too Damn Tricky!
My Advice is to Not Eat Fentanyl at All... One Pill Can Kill.

 Why Not simply Eat Cannabis Cookies and Drink Coffee instead? In Many States in the USA, Cannabis Cookies are Legal and Quality & Dosage is Tested... I found that eating Two Cookies and a Large Cup of Strong Coffee Got me Plenty Stoned...

and then I Rode the Monorail to The Space Needle in Seattle... I Played the Musical Toys at the Experience Music Pavilion... a Tribute to Jimi Hendrix and Kurt Cobain... 

I Remember that in the 1970s We used to Cut our Windowpane LSD Gelatin Squares into Four Pieces and Eat One Quarter... Just to Verify that it was Actually Real... often the "ACID" Sold to Teenagers was a Witches Brew of Compounds that would make you feel strange... NOT ACTUAL LSD... and the Only Way to find out what it was... Was to Eat a Quarter Dose and wait an Hour... Often I would Realize that It WAS Good Quality but That I was ALREADY HIGH ENOUGH... So I'd Give away the rest... 

One Reason I Recommend Against Fentanyl is... I Don't LIKE the Opium High... Yes, I Felt Like the Cheshire Cat in Alice in Wonderland... My Body Vanished and All I Had Left was my Grin... BUT... It made me feel Nauseous... Queasy... You See, "they" Sold Smoke-able Opium in the Parking Lot of The Grateful Dead Concerts... and It was an Excellent Combination with LSD... Because Often LSD Made me feel Anxious... but Opium Calmed me Down... I remember one time I visited the National Art Gallery at the Smithsonian... and totally GROKKED the Paintings... then Went to a Tangerine Dream Concert at the Warner Theater... Excellent!

and then I Read a Question on FaceBorg:
Can lab grown meat replace the real meat?


and I Replied: 
If Corporations can make more money selling lab meat then pretty soon that's all that will be available... I Remember in the Asimov Book Foundation: The Son said "MOM! Not Zymoveal Again! I Hate That!" when they sat down for dinner... 

Isaac Asimov in 1953 described in "The Caves of Steel" feeding the burgeoning world population with a yeast-based food he called "zymoveal"

I Forgive You Even If You Don't Deserve Forgiveness. I Forgive Myself Even If I Don't Deserve Forgiveness. Now, Let's Work Together To Build a Better World.

Obviously, Peace and Love is a Better Plan than Hate and Death and Yet... We Spend Trillions of Dollars on The Pentagon and Their Killing Machines. Let's Cut Defense Spending in HALF and Refund The Money to The Taxpayer. Remember: Since 1945, The US Military Has Never Defended The Country, Not Even Once. There Was a NEED To Defend The Country on 9/11/2001 But The Military Failed Totally. CAN'T WE BUY TOTAL FAILURE AT A LOWER PRICE?

eBook: AMERICA'S BOGUS WARS [Since 1945, The Pentagon Has Never Defended The Country, Not Even Once] by Gregory Vanderlaan

Chapter Zero. Ever since VJ Day (Victory in Japan), All of Our Wars have been Marketing Tools to Sell Weapons for the Military Industrial Complex. One time there was a Need to Defend the Country and The Military Failed Completely. Civilians took down the Airplane in Pennsylvania on 9/11/2001. Frankly Speaking, Can't We Buy Total Failure at a Lower Price?

Think this through with me... Often we choose sides in Someone Else's Civil War, Get Real Excited about Fighting Communism (or whatEVER) and then Lose interest, Retreat, Lose and the Total Effect is ZERO. For Example: Vietnam. After 10 years of fighting, we lost and then The Surrounding Countries DID NOT Fall like Dominos... Believe it or not, There was a "Domino Theory" proposed by Vice President Richard Nixon that Stated that, If we lost in Vietnam, the neighboring Countries would become Communist and then the Entire World would GO Commie and we will have Reds Ruling Mexico! And Attacking the USA! I'm not making this up... There were people that really believed this theory... and were willing to send other people's children to die because they were Fighting Communism. Danger Danger! If we don't beat the Reds in Vietnam they will come right up to our border... ABSURD! For those of you that have never heard of Dominos, it's a game with numbered tiles that you could stack in rows so that if you pushed one over, it would hit the next and that one would hit the next... and on and on and on... and they would all fall down. This was popular before Video Games.

However, Hughes Aircraft, Dow Chemical and other Defense Contractors MADE A FORTUNE... People that sell Bandages, need Bleeding Soldiers to use them up... and then they make a Sale Restocking the Military. Helicopters, Agent Orange, Napalm, Boots, Boats and Food were all wonderful businesses to be in... Soldier Have to Eat... We can sell more MRE if there is an active war than during peacetime... To Quote Country Joe McDonald: "Come on Wall Street Don't Move Slow, Why Man this War's a Go-Go. There is Plenty Good Money to be Made, Supplying the Army with the Tools of the Trade! Just hope and Pray when they Drop the Bomb, They drop it on the Viet Cong..." Defense Contractors kept the war going for a long as possible. Nixon's Campaign Promise was to End the War but he kept it going an extra FOUR Years. If you think about it, We could have Won that War in ONE DAY. A Hydrogen Bomb on Hanoi would have Ended The War. Totally. We knew HOW to WIN since we we Dropped Atomic Bombs on Japan. BUT, we selected to Lose.

One real effect of that war was: we got a LOT of immigrants. Vietnamese Boat People and Hmong... They came here by the Thousands... and then the Country of Vietnam became a Capitalist Manufacturing Country... Go Figure! They did not like being Commie after all. In general, the refugees were nice people and no one can imagine WHY we would go to war with them...

I don't know much about the Korean War. All I really know is the M*A*S*H TV Show and The Manchurian Candidate Movie. Somehow we fought for a while, quit and those people over there solved their own problems... or not... Hey, It's their country, they should do whatever they do without the USA's Help.

American History: The Humboldt County Timber Wars... A Hostile Takeover of Pacific Lumber Company and The Extreme Logging of Old Growth Redwoods in Northern California. MAXXAM SUXX

In 1985 Charles Hurwitz borrowed money (Junk Bonds) from Michael Milken and bought the company Pacific Lumber, located near Eureka, California. Then Hurwitz increased the rate of logging in the Redwood Forest and cut down all the highly profitable trees. Then he split his corporation MAXXAM into two divisions. One division was used to do actual logging and sawing of boards and the other division was used to hide the profits. When the bill came due on the Junk Bonds, Hurwitz declared bankruptcy and took the money back to Texas. Including the pension funds that paid retirement benefits for employees...

Then the Pacific Lumber Company was purchased at a foreclosure sale by The Fisher Family. They had made a fortune selling clothes at a chain of stores called "The Gap". They reintroduced the business plan called "sustainable logging" where the Lumberjacks would only cut down as many trees as grew during the year. This plan was invented by the original owner of Pacific Lumber, Simon J. Murphy... The concept was to cut 1% of the forest every year and plant new trees so that in a hundred years the new trees would have grown big enough to harvest.

Earth First!

During this time there were many ecology protests in Humboldt County. Including "Tree Sits" where forest protectors would build a treehouse in the upper branches of a giant Redwood in order to prevent Lumberjacks from Chainsawing the tree down. It would be possibly fatal for a tree sitter to be in a tree that was falling and the corporations were not willing to risk actual Human Life for profit. (Bad Publicity)... At the Tree Sit I attended MAXXAM Hired a Local man to "Evict" the Tree Sitters by climbing the tree and wrestling with the people... eventually carrying them to the ground where the Police arrested them.

Others committed "Tree Spiking" where large metal nails were driven into the wood of a tree and then the heads of the nails were clipped off. That way, if a tree was at the sawmill and the blade hit the metal, the blade would explode killing millworkers. Once again the corporation was not willing to risk people's lives and so trees that were spiked, were not cut down. The Forest Protectors spray painted the spiked trees so that the Lumberjacks would be aware of the danger.

Still others went to the Offices of Political Leaders and staged "Sit-Ins" where they would handcuff themselves to each other and chant/sing songs while being filmed by TV Cameras... At one of these events the local police used pepper spray on the protestors who were young women. The young women screamed loudly... and it was filmed by TV Stations. When this was broadcast on the TV News it outrages the citizens of California... There is a biological reaction to young women being harmed... This Media Event lead to a massive protest Statewide and the California Legislature Bought a Large Tract of Land and created the Headwaters Forest Park... The park protecting a stand of Old Growth Redwoods near Fortuna, California. It is a pretty park with a paved trail that is popular with people that have wheeled vehicles like bicycles, wheelchairs, skateboards and baby buggies. The hike from the parking lot to the Giant Redwood Trees is about five miles and simply too far for most people to walk but it's easy for people on wheels.

Another technique used to stop the logging was Scientific Ecology Studies that concluded that the Spotted Owl was losing it's habitat and it was in danger of going extinct. See Illustration below...

Two members of the Ecology Group Earth First! were bombed by the FBI in Oakland. There was a Trial and the FBI agreed to award the Survivor a large cash settlement but denied doing anything wrong. Judi Beri died and  Darryl Cherney Survived. He has retired from Activism but still performs as the leader of a musical group. They sing satire protest songs...

Great Books: "1984", "Siddhartha" and "The Teachings of Don Juan" 

Nineteen Eighty-Four centers on the consequences of government over-reach, totalitarianism, mass surveillance, and repressive regimentation of all persons and behaviors within society. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nineteen_Eighty-Four





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

Siddhartha is a novel by Hermann Hesse that deals with the spiritual journey of self-discovery of a man named Siddhartha during the time of the Gautama Buddha. 

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

The Teachings of Don Juan: A Yaqui Way of Knowledge was published by the University of California Press in 1968 as a work of anthropology, though many critics contend that it is a work of fiction.[1] It was written by Carlos Castaneda and submitted as his Master's thesis in the school of Anthropology. It purports to document the events that took place during an apprenticeship with a self-proclaimed Yaqui Indian Sorcerer, don Juan Matus from Sonora, Mexico between 1960 and 1965.

'This is Huge': Move to Defund Police Gains Support Nationwide

Remember: The Millions of People Protesting in the Streets About Police Murder of Citizens ARE VOLUNTEERS! NO ONE IS GETTING PAID... Except for FBI Informants. COINTELPRO2020

and then the Brainwashed TrumpNiks Post Stuff Like This!
THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT IS HAPPENING
Scare people with a virus. Place them in quarantine. Count the number of dead every second of every day in every news headline. Close all businesses. 40,000,000 out of jobs. Peak unemployment. Remove entertainment: parks, gyms, bars, restaurants, sports. No dating. No touching. Mask people. Dehumanize them. Close temples and churches. Create a vacuum. Let depression and anxiety and desperation set in. Then... ignite hatred and civil war. Civil unrest. Empty the prisons because of the virus and fill the streets with criminals. Send in Antifa to vandalize property as if they are freedom fighters. Undermine the law. Loot. Attack law enforcement, but tell government to order a stand-down. We are all being bated by adversarial governments who want to destroy America - China, Iran, Russia. Have the Far Left abuse the racial wars to fuel the fires. And, in an election year, have Democrats blame all of it on the President.
This is what modern warfare looks like.

Flyer advertising for ‘professional anarchists’ is fake.

An image of a flyer claiming the Open Society Foundations, a philanthropic organization funded by billionaire George Soros, will pay people to protest was shared hundreds of times on Facebook and Instagram. The flyer is fake, according to the chairman of the local Democratic Party branch also mentioned in the image, and the foundation denied that it or Soros pays protesters.

 



HALF of All Americans Are Living in Poverty Due To Trump's Failed Economy. They Don't Tell You That on The TV News... Their Corporate Masters Want You To Keep On Believing that Capitalism is Wonderful... and Keep On Consuming! Use Your Credit Card! You Get 1% Back!

ALL the TV News Stations Say: "The Democrats Acknowledge That Trump's Economy is Booming." BUT THAT'S NOT TRUE! 

Only People Who Already Rich are Making Money on the Stock Market. Most Americans Live Off Paychecks or Social Security and WE THE PEOPLE ARE IN A WORLD OF HURT. 

The Rent is Going UP and Wages are NOT... If You Are Already Rich, You Are COLLECTING More Rent These Days and Everything's Rosy... If You Are PAYING RENT, The Economy SUCKS! Talk to Real People... You Know It's True... 

It's Essential That We Throw Trump OUT. #Impeach, 25th Amendment or Defeat Him In the 2020 Election. We Were All Better Off When Obama Was President. I Remember Those Days... We Can RETAKE AMERICA FROM THE GREED FREAKS!
