LYING: The New GOP CAUSE. They Call it "Freedom of Speech" But They Mean "Freedom to Lie" 2+2=5 Isn't False, It's Alternative Facts!

Did you Ever Notice that the GOP Uses Statements That Everyone Agrees With in order to Promote Minority Viewpoints? For Example: "Make America Great Again" - Everyone Wants THAT but Almost No One Wants to Return to 1848 in the American South... and THAT'S What They Want... In Their Minds, That was When America Was Truly Greatest! We Had Slavery, Women Didn't Vote, Gays Didn't Exist and White People Lived a Work Free Life as Plantation Owners... 

Now "Freedom of Speech" is a CAUSE they are Fighting For so People Will Have the FREEDOM to Speak Hate Speech... "The Jews Will Not Replace Us!" was a Chant at the Nazi Torchlight Parade in Charlottesville... They Stated it AS IF there was a Possibility that the Jews Might Replace Them... What The F*CK? There Is No Possibility!

Seen Those Ads on TV? FIRE launches new national ad campaign highlighting urgency to protect free speech... The campaign, in partnership with ad agency DeVito/Verdi, will launch in the Sunday edition of The New York Times Magazine and will use print and digital ads to stress Americans’ right to speak freely.

https://www.thefire.org/fire-launches-new-national-ad-campaign-highlighting-urgency-to-protect-free-speech/

NEW YORK, Jan. 14, 2022 – In a series of arresting ads that strike at the necessity of preserving and defending free speech rights, the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education will launch its first national advertising campaign this weekend.

Breaking in Sunday’s New York Times Magazine, the initial ad invokes the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s famous “I Have a Dream” speech to bring home to Americans across the political spectrum what would be lost if our nation lacked the right to free speech. The ad coincides with Monday’s national holiday honoring the civil rights leader.

Proclaiming “No Free Speech, No I Have A Dream,” the double-page ad kicks off a print and digital marketing campaign that stresses the need to be able to speak freely and respect our fellow Americans’ right to do so, regardless of their viewpoint. The ad concludes, “It’s because of free speech that we’re all free to share our dreams.” 

AND... WHO EXACTLY IS BEING CENSORED? TRUMP... and His Flying Monkeys... BECAUSE THEY LIE, LIE and LIE AGAIN...

I, myself, have been Censored using FaceBORG and LinkedIn... However, since I posted the Same Words on 15 Different Social Media Platforms... My Banishment was TRIVIAL... The Specific Violation was Called "Encouraging Violence." and it's true! I Suggested "Let's Beat the GOP Like a Pinata in 2022! Grab a Big Stick and Swing Away!"

and That's Obviously Encouraging Violence!
One Good thing about "Freedom of Speech" is it allows the FBI to Find the Crazy Gun Nuts BEFORE They Commit Mass Murder... Just today, 31 Insane TrumpNiks® Were Arrested in Idaho... BEFORE they Did Battle with Gay People having a Parade... Just Lock 'em Up!

and On a Different Subject: Here's Some Absurdist Fiction I Wrote!


How To Be a Lunatic (Moon Worshiper) by Gregory Vanderlaan - a FICTION BOOK

Step #1: Build Your Own Prank UFO
LED UFO Prank
add a Couple of 140dB Personal Alarms
Personal Alarms
and Create Insane Noise Way Up in the Sky.

Freak Out The Public!
Totally Safe and FUN!

~~~~~~ (~);-} ~~~~~~
A bit of Deep Background...
~~~~~~ (~);-} ~~~~~~

I first Embraced Lunacy Long ago when I Noticed That The Moon Looks Like a Solid Dot about the Size of a Quarter Held at Arms Length. AND The Sun Looks Like a Solid Dot about the Size of a Quarter Held at Arms Length. AND The Shadow of the Earth on the Moon is the Same Exact Size! That SIZE Co-incidence is what makes Solar and Lunar Eclipses and Phases of the Moon Possible.

A woman's Menstrual Cycle is the same length of time as the moon's phases... 28 Days. Humans are In Phase with the Moon...   

Our Calendar's Months are Named for the Moon but don't exactly Line Up... 28x13=364 We Could have made the Calendar 13 Months of 28 Days Each but... Somehow We Failed... OOPS! 


and then President Kennedy Gave that 1962 Speech that Totally Changed my Life... The School System Changed dramatically in 1963 in response... Math and Science were the Main Focus. I was in Third Grade and a Part of that Change... I was placed in the "More Capable Learners" Class and we skipped one Grade ahead in both Math and Science all the way thru High School. My Career in Computers was the result of that early Training. 

"We choose to go to the Moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard; because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one we intend to win, and the others, too."

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

Author's Note: Most of these Ideas are Dangerous and Illegal... at Best, they lead to Arrest and Incarceration... at worst you might blow your legs off and have to ride around in a wheelchair for the rest of your life... Remember the "Weathermen" anti-war protesters during the Vietnam war? They Blew up their Own Townhouse and everyone inside died... then the people who were not inside the townhouse went on the run and lived "underground" for a decade until they just got tired of that life and turned themselves into the Police... served a few years... got out and Started Living a Real Life Again... DON'T DO THAT!

Compulsive Hoarding of Money Syndrome - meme - gvan42 - purple64ets


and I read on FaceBORG:
Don't be like Wal-Mart. Don't use lobbyist to bribe politicians so you can let taxpayers supplement the wages you should be paying your workers, then spend more money so mass media will convince the taxpayers the employee is the bad guy when he needs to use a food card to feed his family. Then pay some more money to lobbyist so your multi-billion dollar record breaking profit corporation can evade paying taxes that would help America! The six owners of Geed-Mart make about ($200,000 a day each). Yes really. You pay extra taxes to help them pay their workers. Did you know you also pay extra taxes to supplement CEO bonuses? BTW you think you are saving money when you shop at Greed-Mart. Your not. As well this is not just Wal-Mart. It is hundreds of multi-billion dollar record breaking profit corporations doing the exact same thing to us America.

Be Aware of Propaganda: "The Bottom Line with Boris" - Trump's "Real" News. Sinclair Broadcasting is lying to you.

Sinclair Broadcasting forces their Stations to play Boris. Sinclair is a giant media conglomerate and they own 70% of the local TV Stations. They engage in Brainwashing so "Conservative" Candidates will be elected and appointed. Recently the FCC re-wrote rules about corporate monopolies to allow Sinclair to take over the airways. Frankly, I prefer to get my news from Free Speech TV, Link TV and Google. However, the uneducated white people that make up Trump's "Base" often watch broadcast TV and FOX...

Pro-Trump outlet Sinclair is turning local news into Trump TV. Here's what it looks like.  https://www.mediamatters.org/blog/2017/08/03/pro-trump-outlet-sinclair-turning-local-news-trump-tv-heres-what-it-looks/217482

MEME - gvan42 - Bubble Up Economics
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3kSBGRM3d2s

What is Bubble Up Economics?

How Does it Work? Simply Raise the Minimum Wage to Fifteen Dollars an Hour. Then all Those people will spend the extra money in their paychecks at American Businesses. Increasing Profits. Making Stockholders Happy! Then those businesses will have to hire more people to handle the extra Customers. Decreasing Unemployment Insurance Payments. Everybody WINS! With EMPLOYMENT AT A JOB becoming a Viable Alternative to Selling Drugs for a Street Gang, Some teenagers will choose Employment... Reducing CRIME... Reducing Costs for Prisons... Reducing Costs for Law Enforcement... People will buy more food for their Children. Causing Better Health and Smarter Kids... Starvation is Not Good for Children's Brains... Farmers will sell More. Truckers will move more merchandise to stores. Increased Competition for Workers will cause Everybody's Wages to Go Up. All those Workers will pay more in Income Taxes... That would make the Government happy... Right NOW, we are having a National Debt Ceiling Crisis because the Government is Spending More that it Takes in with Taxes... Bubble UP Economics would reverse that trend... The Money Bubbles UP Through Every Layer of Society... With a rising tide, every boat floats! We Tried Ronald Reagan's "Voodoo" Economics and It Has Failed... "People" Say That Bubble UP! Economics WILL MAKE Employers LAY OFF Workers... However... Employers HAVE ALREADY LAID OFF EVERYONE THEY POSSIBLY CAN... Have you Ever Seen a Business where People Work There but Have Nothing To DO? Never! Who Could Possibly be Opposed to the JOY of Bubble UP! Economics? Well, there are people in this world that have COMPULSIVE HOARDING OF MONEY SYNDROME. It's a Mental Health Disease just Like The Crazy Cat Lady

California Gov. Gavin Newsom announced plans to ban hydraulic fracturing by 2024 as part of a longer-term aim to end all oil extraction in the state. The governor has ordered the state's top oil regulator to implement regulation to stop issuing new fracking permits by 2024. He has also directed the state's air resources agency to look at ways to phase out oil extraction completely by 2045. "The climate crisis is real, and we continue to see the signs every day," Newsom said in a Friday press release. "As we move to swiftly decarbonize our transportation sector and create a healthier future for our children, I've made it clear I don't see a role for fracking in that future and, similarly, believe that California needs to move beyond oil." https://www.npr.org/2021/04/23/990368418/california-governor-moves-to-ban-fracking-by-2024?ft=nprml&f=

The Mirrored Ball at Winterland - a Visual Mantra - gvan42

SE Posted of Facebook: At an apartment where I lived briefly before this one, I had several nicknames for my neighbors. The building had paper-thin walls, so you could hear everything. There was "the crazy lady," because she walked around the courtyard talking to herself and sometimes looking up and talking loudly to God. Above me was "the mad cougher," because he would randomly cough loudly, and since the walls were paper-thin, it sounded like he was coughing right in the room with me. There was also "the sweeping lady," because she would get out her broom and sweep the staircase wearing high heels. She slowly made her way down the stairs, sweeping each one along the way, then she did the same thing on the way back up. 

At my current apartment, I have had ongoing issues with noise from the apartment below me. (Paper-thin walls again - bleh.) There is a man who doesn't live there full time, but when he visits the apartment below me, it sounds like his voice is being amplified into my apartment through a club sound system. I refer to him as "Sir Booming Voice."

I Replied: I live in a Six Person Group Home for the Elderly... and One Lady always complains about the Food at every Meal... and She says She wants to get out of Here... "I Hate it, Hate It, Hate It Living Here." However, When her Daughter Visits she ALWAYS FORGETS about how much she Hates Living Here... Her Daughter Pays the Rent and COULD TAKE ACTION to Move Her to a Different Place... Or Move Her to Live at her Daughters House... SO... She is the Endless Complainer... I Guess that the Joy of Seeing her Daughter Erases all memory of How Much She Hates Living Here...

In the Ram Dass Facebook Group: What are some interesting spiritual experiences you’ve had?

I Said: I Accidentally slipped into the Tuolumne river upstream from a Giant Waterfall at Hetch Hetchy while High on LSD, Marijuana and Peyote... The Current Was Vastly Stronger than I was and I was swept to the bottom of the pool... then I Accepted Death... Relaxed and Somehow Bubbled Up to a Place I could Crawl out of the Water... Every Day since then Has Been a GIFT. That Day We Climbed up a Granite Chimney... Never Before or Since Have I Been Able to Do That Feat of Freeclimbing... I Had a LOT of Energy and Lack of Fear due to The LSD...

In Retrospect...  I'm Extremely Lucky to Have Taken Two LSD Trips in Yosemite... and I Survived, So... It's all Good!

One of Yosemite's oldest historic trails (built 1873 to 1877), the Yosemite Falls Trail leads to the top of North America’s tallest waterfall, which rises 2,425 feet (739 m) above the Valley floor. This trail starts near Camp 4, along the Valley Loop Trail, and immediately begins its climb, switchback after switchback, through oak woodland. You will begin to climb above some trees and into exposed plateaus that offer you a glimpse of what's to come: great views of Yosemite Valley and its many iconic landforms. Do not stray off of the maintained path, as you will find steep drops adjacent to the trail.

https://www.nps.gov/yose/planyourvisit/yosemitefallstrail.htm

Hidden in Yosemite National Park’s peaceful northwest corner, Hetch Hetchy Valley is a treasure worth visiting in all seasons. Located at 3,900 feet, Hetch Hetchy boasts one of the longest hiking seasons in the park and is an ideal place for thundering spring waterfalls and wildflower displays. High temperatures prevail in summer months, but that is a small price to pay for the reward of vast wilderness filled with stunning peaks, hidden canyons, and remote lakes.

Hetch Hetchy is on the main stem of the Tuolumne River and is part of the Tuolumne watershed. The Tuolumne River originates in the peaks above Tuolumne Meadows and is the major drainage system for the northern part of Yosemite. The Tuolumne River continues through Tuolumne Meadows and the associated park developments at an elevation of 8,600 feet. It then cascades on its westward descent through the Grand Canyon of the Tuolumne, and enters the eastern end of Hetch Hetchy Reservoir. Hetch Hetchy is dammed by the 430-foot-tall O’Shaughnessy Dam and has a storage capacity of 360,360 acre-feet. It is the primary water source for about 2.5 million residents of the San Francisco Bay Area.

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.
