Great Documentary Movie: Climbing Redwood Giants - Life in the sky... National Geographic. About The Old Growth Redwood Forest in Northern California. The World's Tallest Trees! Featuring Steve Sillett HSU teacher... Humboldt State University...

Clip of the Winner of the International Forest Film Festival They are living giants, one of Earth's largest and oldest trees. Some tower more than 350 feet high, taller than the Statue of Liberty; some may have been seedlings when Jesus was born. Yet, these natural legends still shroud centuries-old secrets. In a major National Geographic cross-platform event, which includes the October, 2009 cover story for the magazine, we reveal the little-explored environment of the redwoods using high-tech aerial laser surveys and breathtaking imagery.

The best-selling book The Wild Trees made Steve Sillett a legend among tall-tree climbers. Now, as National Geographic magazine features his work in a cover story and documentary, Humboldt State’s skywalking professor launches a groundbreaking study into the effects of climate change on redwoods.

Interesting Movie: Who Bombed Judi Bari? 
https://www.imdb.com/video/vi742497305?ref_=tt_pv_vi_aiv_1

Judi Bari and Darryl Cherney were falsely arrested for car-bombing themselves on May 24, 1990 while on an Earth First! musical organizing tour for Redwood Summer. They sued the FBI for violations of the First Amendment, claiming the FBI knew they were innocent but arrested them to try to silence them. Having survived the bomb but now stricken by cancer, Judi Bari, a leader of the movement to save California's old growth redwoods, gives her on-camera, deathbed testimony about the attempt on her life and her colorful organizing history with the radical environmental movement Earth First!

YANA LUDWIG is running for US SENATE in Wyoming... an Ecology Activist... against Liz Cheney, the Vice President's Daughter...

WHO IS YANA LUDWIG?

Mayana (Yana) Katherine Ludwig is a 49 year old Laramie resident who was born in Bemidji, MN, having missed the excitement of the 1960’s by a mere 5 weeks. She is a bisexual woman married to Matt Stannard, the former debate coach at the University of Wyoming and a UW Law school graduate. Matt is a writer, producer, and teacher on cooperative economics and debate. Between them they have 7 kids, 4 of whom are students in Wyoming’s public school system.

Yana has long history of social justice and ecological activism, starting as a kid following her ecologist dad around the Great Lakes as he did toxicology research on bird populations, and land reclamation work on former mining sites.

YANA LUDWIG'S PLATFORM

MARIJUANA

I favor the full legalization and decriminalization of marijuana, including releasing people who are serving sentences for marijuana-related charges, and wiping the records of all people with marijuana convictions. There should also be recognition of the uneven impact marijuana conviction have had on communities of color and poor communities, and legal corrections for those past harms.

CLIMATE DISRUPTION

The Green New Deal sets goals (which are great), but not specific policies. The policies need to include green infrastructure, transportation and energy, and focus on economic health for “fossil fuel states” like Wyoming. I favor the bipartisan Carbon Fee and Dividend bill promoted by Citizens Climate Lobby. This would provide monthly dividends to all people, rising over time. We must further use safe, proven technology to capture carbon. The most tried and true method for this is trees. My Billion Tree Initiative would draw labor from two places: states that rely most heavily on fossil fuels currently for their economic vibrancy, and a massive reallocation of military personnel away from overseas war-making, which is disastrous ecologically and leaves vets with high levels of PTSD and depression that is inadequately treated when they come home.

Addiction to Money: Paul Manafort is Just the Latest of a Long Line of Greed Freaks that have Gone to Prison... Martha Stewart, Ken Lay, Jeffrey Schilling, Ivan Boesky, Michael Milken, Charles Hurwitz...

I remember that a Narcotics Agent offered Alexander Shulgin a Million Dollars if he would create a Pound of LSD... Shulgin declined repeatedly because he ALREADY HAD EVERYTHING HE WANTED. "What would I DO with a Million Dollars? " Said Shulgin...

Think about this... Shulgin was working as a Chemistry Professor at Stanford University... Teaching the Best and Brightest Students in the World... Shulgin also invented about 230 new psychedelic drugs and wrote two books about that research... and he ate each new drug, just to see what they were like... his wife also ate the new psychedelic drugs...

Contract that Lifestyle with Paul Manafort who broke the law in order to buy an Ostrich Jacket... Imagine someone so stupid that they would WANT a Jacket made out of the skin of a giant bird... PATHETIC!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_Shulgin

Alexander Theodore Shulgin (June 17, 1925 – June 2, 2014) was an American medicinal chemist, biochemist, organic chemist, pharmacologist, psychopharmacologist, and author. He is credited with introducing MDMA ("ecstasy", "mandy" or "molly") to psychologists in the late 1970s for psychopharmaceutical use and for the discovery, synthesis and personal bioassay of over 230 psychoactive compounds for their psychedelic and entactogenic potential.

In 1991 and 1997, he and his wife Ann Shulgin authored the books PIHKAL and TIHKAL (standing for Phenethylamines and Tryptamines I Have Known And Loved), which extensively described their work and personal experiences with these two classes of psychoactive drugs. Shulgin performed seminal work into the descriptive synthesis of many of these compounds. Some of Shulgin's noteworthy discoveries include compounds of the 2C* family (such as 2C-B) and compounds of the DOx family (such as DOM).

Due in part to Shulgin's extensive work in the field of psychedelic research and the rational drug design of psychedelic drugs, he has since been dubbed the "godfather of psychedelics".^[2]
