Sara Nelson, President of the Flight Attendants Union, called for a General Strike during Trump's Government Shutdown. She has some brilliant Ideas about how to FIX America.

MORE Labor Unions fighting for Increased Wages, Better Working Conditions, Healthcare, Childcare, Retirement, Full Time Jobs, Profit Sharing Safety...

Corporations have reaped a massive windfall from Trump's Tax Cut for the Rich Law BUT... WORKERS have gotten Nothing... NOTHING... All that money has been used for "Stock Buybacks" (putting more money in Rich People's Pockets) instead of Raising Wages, bringing Factories back to the USA or Making Equipment Better, Safer...

The Workers Have Increased Productivity over the Last Few Decades but ALL THAT increased Wealth has been Pocketed by The Rich. Jobs these days are mostly - Low Pay, No Benefits, TEMP, UBER-Like (sub contractors with No Benefits, ALL the risk) or Part Time... Gone are the Jobs that enabled a Man to Raise a Family using His Paycheck from ONE JOB.

Her Slogan is: "ONE JOB SHOULD BE ENOUGH!" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sara_Nelson_(union_leader)

I saw her on the Rick Smith Show on Free Speech TV. a show devoted to Pro Labor Union interviews...

Free Speech TV is Viewer Financed so they have the freedom to publish Ideas that are NOT blessed by Corporate Masters. Link TV, PBS and RT ( Russian Television) are Pllaces that broadcast Shows Forbidden by Advertisers... It becomes obvious when I Compare their NEWS Shows with CNN, FOX, and MSNBC. They just show what will attract the MOST VIEWERS so they can sell Advertising Time... They Repeat the same subjects again and again and again because that's the best way to get high ratings... NO Concern with Informing The Public, it's all INFOTAINMENT... Consider that they typically show One Minute of News and then Five Minutes of Talking Heads telling You What to Think. and Yowsa, Yousa some of those Talking Heads are Stunningly Beautiful Women! What they say seems so Significant! and the Some Talking Heads play a Character... (Symone Sanders as the Angry Black Lady) but she's gone! She went to work for her Father, Bernie Sanders and is rarely seen on TV... Deep Sigh... Talking Heads are a proven formula for attracting an audience...

I enjoy Democracy NOW!... I enjoy Pirate Television... I enjoy ACT OUT!... I enjoy Economic Update... I enjoy The Keiser Report... I enjoy The World according to Jesse... I enjoy Bioneers... I enjoy Redacted Tonight... I enjoy BOOM BUST...

In order to distract attention from The Failed Pompeo/Bolton COUP in Venezuela, they pretended that there was a DANGER-DANGER in IRAN...

and now the US Government has Arrested People OCCUPYING the Venezuelan Embassy in Washington DC... an Embassy is supposed to be PART OF THE FOREIGN COUNTRY and they are supposed to be able to do whatever they want inside the Embassy... but not this time...

Code Pink Protests - Hands off Venezuela!

Headline: US Police Evict Protesters From Venezuelan Embassy in Washington... Pro Nicolas Maduro supporter Adrienne Pine is arrested, during the eviction of Maduro's supporters from the Venezuelan Embassy in Washington on May 16, 2019.

The purge is here. Facebook, Twitter and the silencing of anything that goes against the state. Next up, women's health and rights are under attack. A backwards, theocratic reworking of Title X threatens women's already dwindling rights over our bodies and our life choices. Finally, the Women's March on the Pentagon – challenging militarization at home and abroad.

The Koch brothers released a sharply worded statement supporting states' rights with regard to legal marijuana.

As their statement reads, “citizens have spoken on marijuana” and the government shouldn’t interfere.

I suffered an adverse reaction to Lithium when I was in a mental hospital. It increased my Paranoia and I became suspicious of my Doctor.

The chemical made my emotions more intense. For Example: A scary movie on TV became unendurable and I had to flee the room. I believed that the social workers were NOT on my side but were trying to keep me in the hospital (even though there was nothing wrong with me) just so they would have a large quantity of patients. As if they were commissioned salesmen paid by the head... That could be true but it's unlikely. Yes, it is true that they justify their paychecks because they have enough patients to treat. Yes, it is true that there is no incentive to cure a patient. However, I have faith that mental health professionals in general are trying to help people. Under the influence of Lithium they all exhibited suspicious behavior. I felt that in order to be released from the hospital I ought to follow orders and do what I was told to do by the Doctors no matter what the side effects were. I imagined that they were all like Nurse Ratchet from "One Flew Over the Cookoo's Nest". After 15 days I was released because (surprise, surprise) I did not have any mental health problems.

If you find yourself being prescribed Lithium, I recommend that you question if it is appropriate for you. It's unlikely that the Doctor will continue to prescribe a medicine that is causing damage to the patient. Yes, it is true that some Doctors are evil but I believe that the majority are attempting to do good.

Under the influence of Lithium every song on the radio seemed to be written for specifically for me and the lyrics showed unbelievable insight into my life. I would burst into tears over classic rock songs and get all choked up. Yes, it is true that some of those ballads ARE filled with meaning but... I felt like I was experiencing the same level of emotional revelations that one does reading Haiku on LSD. You know that AHA! feeling... Hey, maybe Lithium is good for you but... Think for Yourself and Question Authority...

The reason I was committed "5150" was that I was experiencing a Cannabis Psychosis. The effects of the marijuana wore off when I stopped smoking it. The entire trip to the hospital was an error. A member of my family thought it was a good idea to have me introduced to the Butte County Mental Health Department but it was not.

Word is out "on the street" that if you are having mental health problems, the LAST place you want to go is Butte County Mental Health in Chico, California.
