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

It must be Horrible to Work at a Climate Change Denier Think Tank. Imagine going to work and writing false studies designed to make the world a worse place to live.

Headline: A MAJOR COAL COMPANY WENT BUST. ITS BANKRUPTCY FILING SHOWS THAT IT WAS FUNDING CLIMATE CHANGE DENIALISM. The documents in the court docket show that the coal giant gave contributions to leading think tanks that have attacked the link between the burning of fossil fuels and climate change, as well as to several conservative advocacy groups that have attempted to undermine policies intended to shift the economy toward renewable energy.

On a Totally Different Subject... Here are a Few Paragraphs from My Autobiography... While Looking at some Family Photos Taken at Our Cabin in Tahoe I was Reminded That...

When I went to West Valley Junior College I Took a Class in Architectural Scale Model Building. Before It was Built, I took Blueprints of The Cabin on North Shore, Lake Tahoe and Built an Accurate Scale Model of it. Dad showed it to his friends and clients... Just to explain what he was having Built... Just Like a Real Architect Would DO! I still have that model because Dad liked it and made sure it never got accidentally damaged.

I did Learn How to Draw Mechanical Drawings Used to Make Computers There and Was Instantly Hired after One Year of Classes... at The Legendary System Industries... Owned by Dr. Edwin Zchau... Later He Became a Congressman in the US House of Representatives. On Family Day, Mom and Dad Took a Personal Guided Tour with Dr. Zchau... The Three of Them went Off and Looked at Everything... Including the Disc Drives That were About the Same Size as a Washing Machine... 1976

During the Free time I Had Between Classes I went to the Library and Drew Pictures, Cartoons, Designs... ART... while wearing Headphones... My Favorite Song was 'Whole Lotta Love" by Led Zeppelin... It's Astonishing on Headphones because there is a lot of Left-Right Ping Ponging and Phase-Shifter Effects on the Drums... Drawing White Listening to Music DOES Effect the Sketches... They End Up Being Much More Squiggly!

I remember buying a slice of Redwood Burl at That Store/Gallery on Highway 9 directly across the Street from San Lorenzo High School. My First Wife Jo Ann and I were taking a Stained Glass Window Making Class at West Valley Junior College Night School. I made a Red Rose Framed by that Burl... and it hung in the Window of my Father's House for decades... and... Every Time I Looked At It I noticed the ERROR I made in the construction of that window... and it bugged me for about 10 seconds... I also made a Clock from a slice of Burl... and It hung in the Living Room... The School was right next door to a drive in Movie Theater and at Night we could walk over and see the movies without paying. We Saw "Carrie" there... While Walking on the Railroad Tracks.

I have actually fired a gun. Really! At Camp Campbell [YMCA Summer Camp] in the Santa Cruz Mountains we learned how to shoot targets with a .22 rifle. I enjoyed it. Quite similar to playing Darts or Archery. Another time I fired a large pistol at cans. ONCE. My dad's lawyer owned the pistol. It had a "Helluva Kick" and was really loud and scary. I've never actually owned a gun or had one in the house... Thankfully... as on occasion I have had arguments with Wives and Girlfriends and none became fatal...

Camp Campbell also had a zip line. I got into a swing seat, jumped off the cliff and whoooooosh went down to the ground. At that time we were responsible for our own actions and staying safe. I suppose I could have fallen out of the zip line seat but I made sure I held on tight. BIG FUN.

My whole family rode bicycles on Highway 280 before it was opened for cars. Thousands of people rode in a one day celebration. We started near the Winchester Mystery House and rode towards downtown San Jose. I've always loved 280 as it was a fast and beautiful way to go visit San Francisco. We had friends (The Raas Family) that lived in "The City" and would go visit them often. Steve Raas took me to the Fillmore West in 1969 to go see a band called The Youngbloods and The Chicago Transit Authority. The big song of the night was "Get Together" a classic Hippie Anthem. There were light-shows on the walls of the concert hall. Squishy Water (like the album cover of Iron Butterfly's In a Gadda da Vida Album) and many movie loops and Strobe Slide Projectors. There were blacklights and people were painting each other's bodies with fluorescent paint. Big Fun.

We also went to The Exploratorium. That museum allowed the visitors to play with the exhibits. My favorite was the custom built musical jam session where a half a dozen people played synthesizers that were designed to never play a wrong note... with strangely shaped keyboards... that way visitors that had no musical training could experience the joy of playing without the pain of making a noise that was not pleasant. They also had a virtual reality experience where I was flying thru a tunnel and my spaceship traveled in the direction that I looked. It was a game where the goal was to crash into floating cubes that moved randomly. The cubes had people's faces on them and one was Jerry Garcia. This was long before VR games became available to the general public.

We visited the Winchester Mystery House when I was a child. I was not very impressed as I was expecting something more like Disneyland. In retrospect, I admire the giant house and appreciate the story of Sarah Winchester being haunted by the ghosts of all the men that died from gunshot wounds caused by her husband's rifle. She employed carpenters to work around the clock so that their sounds would keep the ghosts away. And if she did have any nightmares, she had strong men to protect her.

Mom, Dad and I went to the Vorpal Gallery in San Francisco to see the prints by MC ESCHER. It is a private gallery with a locked door. You buzzed the buzzer and they made a decision if you were worthy or not... We were allowed in and saw many actual prints including Metamorphose... That one is VERY wide and a lot more interesting in person than it is in a book. We did not buy any prints. OOPS, That would have been a good investment but... we missed that opportunity.

In 1971, a friend of mine went to San Francisco and went to a Rock Concert at the Fillmore West and came back to our high school and said... LET'S BUILD OUR OWN using the old mill in the center of town. We formed an organization called "Youth Unlimited" and got the Town to Sponsor Us with $1 per year rent for Forbes Mill.

That was the beginning of The Forbes Mill Teen Club in Los Gatos California... We had a light show and electric rock music every weekend... On Wednesday nights we performed folk music. I was the head of security and did advertising posters. I used the mimeograph machine at the High School to print the posters for upcoming shows...

"Youth Unlimited" first held a concert in the Rec Room of the Presbyterian Church next to Old Town on University Ave. There was a live rock band that featured a saxophone player with an electric sax. We also formed a drum circle outside with me playing harmonica and a couple of guitar players.

Since we had Town sponsorship of our "Teen Club" thru the organization Youth Unlimited, we had to make sure no laws were being broken at Forbes Mill or the police would shut us down. Certainly no drinking or illegal drug use or housing of runaways. My take on law enforcement was to direct potential lawbreakers to the nearby hole in the fence that lead to the wooded area next to the freeway. I admit that a lot of laws were broken on State of California property, but that was NOT MY CONCERN. I was responsible for making sure that OUR property was crime free.

The light show was created by using four slide projectors and two spinning wheels with variable speed motors that blocked the light from reaching the white wall behind the bandstand. Each cardboard wheel had holes cut into it so that the slides would be projected in a stroboscopic manner. Some slides were abstract art created by "crystal craze" paint and others were photographs.

We also owned a strobe light and I learned to not point it at the electric organ player because the blinking light made it impossible to see which keys were black and which were white...

"Youth Unlimited" also built a crisis center called Fre-Ba-ZAK House. It was in an old wooden home on North Santa Cruz Ave. The idea was to have a place for runaways to have a safe location to negotiate with their parents. Kids that had nowhere else to go could go there ... My friend Richard Bergholdt worked there as a counselor. I used to go there because it was a fun place to go talk with other classmates... I remember drinking coffee and discussing weighty subjects late at night. One time I went there because I couldn't go home. I had gone to the Ike and Tina Turner concert at the San Jose Convention Center and took a Large Dose of LSD. I had to wait until my parents went to sleep before going home. It was a great concert and I remember that MANY of the students at LGHS went. I also remember listening to the FM radio there. Talks by Alan Watts about Buddhism... and the story "The Cave" by Plato. There were some totally free radio stations then. They had the freedom of selecting what to play and when to play it. I heard "Space Hymn" by Lothar and the Hand People at Fre-Ba-ZAK House.

In the 1960s I made tie dyed shirts using rubber bands and boiling the dye... one color... RIT brand named dye... Mom sewed a shirt with bell sleeves and a Nehru collar... I wore it with a bell around my neck. Like, totally "mod" like the fashion that was popular with the teenagers in England...

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

66 Million Dead Trees pose a Fire Hazard in California. Fortunately, we have Many BIOMASS Power Plants that are able to Use the Dead Wood to Create Electricity...

A Letter to the Editor of the Mad River Union Newspaper...

Surplus population:

I started reading a newspaper every day when I was 8 years old. I came from a family of workers who read the events of the day each morning. Our lives were surrounded by lively discussions, opinions and consensus of action.

I read a newspaper every day until newspapers became nothing more than a collection of AP headlines. I like in-depth reporting and truth of events. Now all we have is talking heads on 24-hour “news channels.”

That being said, I, like many of you, have watched in horror as the political leaders of our country have spewed such vitriol against ordinary working Americans as has never been seen. And all I do is rage.

I have known, since I was 8, that the Republican Party has never ever cared about the well being of the American People. Dwight Eisenhower, in his final public address, warned of the power of the Military-Industrial Complex, a complex that he and his party had allowed to flourish.

But then it got worse. Every Republican Administration since 1970 has worked to dismantle unions, dismantle every corner of the New Deal, relegate women to second class citizenship and encourage the formation of a class system in a classless society.

And now comes something that attacks everyone. You would think that it would kill everyone at the same pace, but those who have great medical care and a sanctuary, are not dying.

Now the demand is that WE sacrifice more. American People, especially those that receive Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and food assistance are being asked to “die” so the economy can get back to normal.

An early notion from POTUS that the stay-home orders were worse than dying, the call from truly whacko Republican governors and senators that many of us should be willing to sacrifice our lives for the all mighty dollar and finally the ungenuine organized and political protests are truly mind boggling.

I came to the conclusion early that if SWP wanted to go to church, go ahead, but do not be surprised when you come out of your church, if a wall has been erected to keep you out of society.

If the south wants to open, fine. The surrounding states should send the national guard to the borders of these states and quarantine the whole lot of them, which looks eerily like the Confederate States of America.

I am always reminded of a line from A Christmas Carol “If they would rather die, said Scrooge “they had better do it, and decrease the surplus population.”

We have become the surplus population. What the overlords have failed to remember is that without our industry and commerce, no business will be done.

We will not go out. Even if we get our stimulus checks (way too little, way too late) we will not spend them. We are in it for the long hall. Maybe if the rich and powerful start to die in droves, we will get some help.

Please remember to keep your distance and wear your masks in public. If people think you are sick, they stay away.

Thank you for listening

Jan Phelps

BELIEVING Trump's Lies makes his Propaganda Effective. Recommended Action--->Think for Yourself and Question Authority. <---

“People just make stuff up. They just make stuff up. We see it in the growth of state-sponsored propaganda. We see it in internet fabrications. We see it in the blurring of lines between news and entertainment,” Obama said. “We see the utter loss of shame among political leaders where they’re caught in a lie and they just double down and they lie some more. It used to be that if you caught them lying, they’d be like, ‘Oh, man’— now they just keep on lying.”

Trump CAUGHT Lying Again... He stated that The Electoral College Favors Democratic Candidates. That's simply FALSE. Hillary Got More Votes but Electoral College Elected Trump.

The Electoral College also elected the Loser when Al Gore got more votes but George Bush the Son became President... and a True "American Idiot!"

The Electoral College was designed to allow RICH WHITE MEN to choose who would be the President. The Founding fathers worried that working class citizens would choose candidates that would make decisions that BENEFITED THE PEOPLE instead of BENEFITTING THE ELITE.

https://www.nationalpopularvote.com/

The National Popular Vote bill would guarantee the Presidency to the candidate who receives the most popular votes in all 50 states and the District of Columbia.

We had a lot of Optimism growing up in the Sixties. There was Hope for the Future. President Kennedy Challenged us to Land a Man on the Moon and the school systems started training us all to become engineers, rocket scientists.

In the late sixties Millions of people ate LSD and that opened up an entirely new way to look at life. Maybe we could build a better world... Sadly, some people did not "Drink the Kool Aid."

Corporate Greed Freaks took over most businesses in the USA and used their Wealth to Buy Politicians who would do what they were told to do. Bribery became Totally Legal... Laws were passed to help the Super Rich Get More Money. More, More, More... More, More, More... More, More, More... Insanity... It's Called the Compulsive Hoarding of Money Syndrome.

I see that the rate of Americans having Children has gone down recently. I understand. Why would anyone want to curse a child with the type of world we are going to experience in the coming years. It's pretty obvious that we will have MORE forest fires, MORE Hurricanes, MORE Tornadoes and MORE FLOODS and DROUGHTS... More plastics Polluting the Ocean, More Toxic Waste in our water and air... More Poverty, Starvation and more Billionaires... There will come a point when JUST TURNING UP THE AIR CONDITIONER WILL NOT SOLVE GLOBAL WARMING. Sure, everyone can Move to Canada, Alaska and Siberia but... that plan only works for about twenty years.

Currently New York City is building DIKES all around Lower Manhattan to prevent the Ocean from Flooding Wall Street... The Big "U" goes from Harlem to Battery Park... But that does nothing for Queens, The Bronx or Brooklyn... Or New Jersey... Even the Super Rich were "Inconvenienced" when Hurricane Sandy flooded the Subways and the Underground Telephone lines... Computers could not communicate and that REALLY screwed up the Stock Market. You can't be "Limo Man" on a Flooded Street...

New Orleans is Flooded again... 5/17/2019 It's Underwater because it rained really hard in the Middle of the USA. The Mississippi drains land a Thousand Miles Wide and Two thousand Miles Tall.

Yep, it looks pretty bleak for people living in the future. Thankfully, I'm 65 years old and will be dead soon. There is NO real effort to stop driving cars all over everywhere polluting the air. What will life be like after a few billion people starve to death? We already see thousands of People fleeing Central America and Walking North... and Boat people crossing the Mediterranian... and Migration North from Iran and Syria...

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

and then a friend posted this rant on Facebook.

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

I’m sorry but the following has turned into a rant (and was a reply I made to another post from a Facebook friend), “but hey, this is America”.....
I remember in high school and coming of age in the 60’s and 70’s, the feeling that the United States was progressively overcoming inherit problems like the lack of equal rights, the rights of all minorities, the rights of workers, the rights of women, the rights of all Americans and the hard working middle class realizing the dream of economic freedom. The rising of the American middle class was the awakening of free people everywhere.
There were no handouts!
We Americans earned this freedom and progressed, through our taxes, the retirement benefits of Social Security and Medicare and, through a joint commitment of our whole society, realized the benefits of these and other programs that inspired other free democratic peoples to enact similar programs & in many cases surpass them in their own countries. The problem in this country was we didn’t keep going, we didn’t keep working on problems that still existed, that we can always keep improving.
I am so disillusioned at our present state in this country. I have grandkids that will soon have to learn how to handle shootings in their own schools, a place of refuge & hope and learning for Christ’s sake!
Our Founding Fathers created a system that would enable future members of our society to always progress further to take on future problems and to become even more free while maintaining a strong vibrant country. Who the hell wants to return to some imaginary paradise time span? What would that be the 50’s, the 60’s, 1812, 1920, 1944 ad nauseum....
I’m sorry, but Newt Gingrich FU, Mitch McConnell FU, Paul Ryan FU, Donald Trump FU, people like you FU....
The American people are inherently good people, the polls on almost every issue show that Americans want to keep progressing to more equality, that we value diversity, that we want the best for each and every one of us, that we are compassionate towards our fellow Americans and people of other countries, that we value the natural beauty and wonder of the world we live in. It’s time we got back to the dreams of our Founders and continue to realize our potential!

Whew, sorry for the rant, “but hey, this is America”!!
