I am glad I met you... If Trump starts World War lll and we all die this year, I must say THAT, while we're still alive...

[The Secret Trick is Not to Read This But to Write Your Own! - Use Your Mind to Inspect History]

We had some amazing times together... Hiking to the Top of Yosemite, Nevada & Vernal Falls ; the Boat Ride at Niagara Falls; Tripping at Grateful Dead concerts; swimming in Chico Creek, Butte Creek, the Pacific Ocean at Santa Cruz and at the AAU Far Western swim meet at Foothill Junior College; soaking at the hot tub in Big Sur; cross country skiing at Lake Tahoe; Marching In anti-war protest marches at the White House & Eureka & Los Gatos & Laguna Beach; riding the Giant Dipper roller coaster at the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk; chanting OM at the Rainbow Gathering, playing the guitar and singing in public; Meeting "Mescalita" and Performing my Peyote Song with her for the entire tribe; Working as a Fire Tender at the Welcome Home Kitchen at the Rainbow Gathering - I was responsible for keeping the fire burning all night long and not smoking/annoying the campers and offering any new arrivals coffee or water or to just sit down and rest; Sailing in a sailboat on the Chesapeake Bay during a storm; Riding a bicycle on Highway 280  at the Grand Opening celebration; playing the Analog Synthesizer in an outer space Jazz improv band for 8 hours on a Saturday night every weekend for years; Playing the piano in the history room at the Cal Neva Lodge Lake Tahoe - the same piano that Marilyn Monroe sat on; Making over 100 YouTube music videos of me singing and playing the guitar; Going to the Exploratorium in San Francisco during the 1960s; Skin diving in Florida; EPCOT; Fireworks on the 4th of July; Whitewater rafting down the Shenandoah River; Going on a hike with the Save the Redwoods League at the "Grand Closing" of the Mill Creek property... It was to become a human free zone; Going to the Smithsonian Institute about 25 times; Joining Alcoholics Anonymous and quitting drinking; Winning money at a Casino in Nevada; Dancing with a Half a Million people at a Beach Boys concert on July 4th at the Washington Monument; Visiting Bumpus Hell bubbling mud pots at Mount Lassen Park; Rode a Bicycle from New Your City to Washington DC with My Wife; Dancing at a disco where the floor lit up with blinking lights; Designed computer equipment for the United States Air Force. The job required I have a Secret Clearance. To this day I can't talk about what we did; Operated a laserium machine at a show; Surfing in Hawaii; Sex, Drugs, Rock and Roll; Driving around the Western United States in a Van with a bed in the back; Living life as a turtle! Bringing my home with me wherever I went; I built an online business and I'm selling original art and slogans printed on t-shirts and hats and buttons; I spend a lot of time at the computer science laboratory at Humboldt State University when I was going to college there... It's quite an experience to be working with 20 other geniuses designing programs and websites... And when I got stuck... I just asked the person sitting next to me for help and they often could do it; Sweating in an American Indian sweat lodge at the Rainbow Gathering; Piloting an open cockpit airplane; Riding a zipline at summer camp;

What a time to be alive! I've actually been to Paradise (California) and played the drums...

Maybe we'll be reincarnated as dairy cows and get to spend a lifetime together in the Eel River Valley... An ideal place to live if you're a cow... Or a hippie... Or a redneck...

I have a couple of regrets... 

Somebody asked me if I wanted to go soak in the hot springs at Tasahara in Big Sur... He said that after midnight you could go for free... And I said no thanks... Big mistake... 

I had the opportunity to chat with Ram Dass... But I couldn't think of anything that I wanted to say...

Every Trump Accusation is Really a Confession. For Example: Trump falsely claims that Kamala Harris crowds are AI fakes. ---> AND <---Trump posts fake AI images of Taylor Swift and Swifties, falsely suggesting he has the singer’s support.


Taylor Swift has yet to endorse any presidential candidate this election cycle. But former President Donald Trump says he accepts the superstar’s non-existent endorsement.
Trump posted “I accept!” on his Truth Social account, along with a carousel of (Swift) images – at least some of which appear to be AI-generated.

One of the AI-manipulated photos depicts Swift as Uncle Sam with the text, “Taylor wants you to vote for Donald Trump.” The other photos depict fans of Swift wearing “Swifties for Trump” T-shirts.

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/us/politics/2024/08/11/ai-fake-crowd-donald-trump-kamala-harris-air-force-two/





Could Trump’s AI-generated Taylor Swift endorsement be illegal?
On Sunday, former President Donald Trump posted a collection of memes on Truth Social — the platform owned by his media company — that make it seem like Taylor Swift and her fans are coming out in support of his candidacy. But as new legislation takes effect, these images could have deeper implications about the use of AI-generated images in political campaigns, especially when those images misrepresent a celebrity’s likeness.

https://www.afge.org/article/project-2025-seeks-to-dismantle-agencies-terminate-up-to-1-million-federal-workers



DETAILS of Project 2025:

(ONE) Eliminate up to a million federal jobs

Because of the proposed deep budget cuts, elimination and privatization of agencies and programs, hiring freezes, caps on the number of personnel, and other anti-government policies, some have estimated that there would be a loss of up to a million federal jobs if Project 2025 is implemented.


(TWO) Declare public unions illegal and take away union rights

Seeking to end collective bargaining for public-sector workers, they would encourage Congress to “consider whether public-sector unions are appropriate in the first place.”

In the meantime, hundreds of thousands of employees working for TSA, DOJ, USCIS, and FEMA would have their union rights stripped away by executive action on national security grounds. For other agencies that still have contracts in place, they would reinstate Trump’s executive orders busting unions and directing agencies to renegotiate contracts to obtain the strongest possible management rights.

They would reinstate Schedule F, which seeks to reclassify any career federal employee whose job is in any way connected to federal policy. This new classification politicizes the civil service, allowing the administration to hire and fire for political reasons. More than 500,000 employees could be affected and lose their work protections as they intend to use authority that’s already in the law to target jobs they say are “of a confidential, policy-determining, policymaking or policy-advocating character”. There are 508,000 Grade 13-15 jobs in the federal government, and the number they will convert is unknown.


(THREE) Gut federal workers’ pay and benefits

They would replace the General Schedule and Wage Grade systems with a pay system that would decide raises based on occupation and how well employees carry out orders, whether legal or not. Describing federal retirement programs as overly generous, they would reduce retirement benefits to match “the market”, noting that half of private sector firms do not offer any retirement benefits. They also want to cut Social Security benefits by raising the retirement age.


(FOUR) Make it easier to discriminate against people of color, women, and LGBTQIA+ people

They would restore either IQ tests or aptitude tests or both as requirements for federal hiring, despite the fact those tests have been found to be discriminatory. They identify the absence of these tests as the “root cause” of the poor performance of federal employees generally and say no merit system can exist without these tests.

They also propose abolishing so-called “disparate impact” – adverse impact of a facially neutral requirement or process – as grounds for challenging the legitimacy of the new civil service exams.

They would prohibit DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion) efforts in most agencies including VA and at the Department of Labor. They would end data collection that showed differences by race and ethnicity and rescind regulations prohibiting discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity. They would also use the Department of Justice to police federal hiring government-wide to ensure that race, religion, and sex are not considered.


(FIVE) Dismantle and privatize federal agencies

Under Project 2025, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) would be eliminated, and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) would be privatized. DHS and TSA were created in response to the 9/11 terrorist attacks to coordinate our national security efforts, facilitate intelligence sharing, and prevent another terrorist attack. Both agencies have done an amazing job protecting our homeland. Bringing our country back to the pre-9/11 era is not only irresponsible but also puts all of us at risk.

The Department of Education would be eliminated and oversight of education and federal funding for education will be handed over to the states. Also being gutted are regulations prohibiting sex-based discrimination in schools and discrimination based on gender identity and sexual orientation.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) would be eliminated and moved to the Department of Interior or the Department of Transportation if combined with the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA). The costs of disaster preparedness and response would be shifted to states and local governments.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)’s many regional labs and entire offices of enforcement and compliance and scientific integrity and risk information would be eliminated. This will endanger public health by giving corporations and big businesses a greenlight to pollute the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the food we eat.

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is to “privatize as much as possible” and close many hospitals and clinics. This will hurt veterans who rely on the VA’s expertise on illnesses unique to veterans. Veterans will also be talking to robots or chat bots instead of a live person when much of the Veterans Benefits Administration is automated.

The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) would be taken apart and send much of its work to states and other agencies – bad news for low income and working-class families who rely on its meagre assistance.

The Department of Justice (DOJ) would lose its independence and be under control of the President. They believe that DOJ decisions should “always be consistent with the President’s policy agenda and the rule of law.”

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) would be drastically reduced and split into two entities: one gathering scientific data and one making public health recommendations and policies. Breaking up the CDC could hinder its ability to prevent and mitigate an outbreak. The CDC would also privatize all test development and laboratory functions and focus on providing guidance in these areas instead of “competing with the private sector.” They would move CDC’s data infrastructure and management to a public-private partnership, causing the government to lose ownership and control of the data.
