The answer to police violence is not 'reform'. It's defunding. Here's why...

'This is Huge': Move to Defund Police Gains Support Nationwide

"In moments of crisis, people want services and resources that go directly to help people rather than police that surveil, brutalize, and kill us."
Remember: The Millions of People Protesting in the Streets About Police Murder of Citizens ARE VOLUNTEERS! NO ONE IS GETTING PAID... Except for FBI Informants. COINTELPRO2020

 and then the Brainwashed TrumpNiks Post Stuff Like This!
THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT IS HAPPENING
Scare people with a virus. Place them in quarantine. Count the number of dead every second of every day in every news headline. Close all businesses. 40,000,000 out of jobs. Peak unemployment. Remove entertainment: parks, gyms, bars, restaurants, sports. No dating. No touching. Mask people. Dehumanize them. Close temples and churches. Create a vacuum. Let depression and anxiety and desperation set in. Then... ignite hatred and civil war. Civil unrest. Empty the prisons because of the virus and fill the streets with criminals. Send in Antifa to vandalize property as if they are freedom fighters. Undermine the law. Loot. Attack law enforcement, but tell government to order a stand-down. We are all being bated by adversarial governments who want to destroy America - China, Iran, Russia. Have the Far Left abuse the racial wars to fuel the fires. And, in an election year, have Democrats blame all of it on the President.
This is what modern warfare looks like.

Flyer advertising for ‘professional anarchists’ is fake.

An image of a flyer claiming the Open Society Foundations, a philanthropic organization funded by billionaire George Soros, will pay people to protest was shared hundreds of times on Facebook and Instagram. The flyer is fake, according to the chairman of the local Democratic Party branch also mentioned in the image, and the foundation denied that it or Soros pays protesters.

Let's Cut the Pentagon Budget In Half and Refund the Money to The Taxpayers. It's an Absurd Waste of People's Lives...

Since 1945, the US Military Has Never Defended the Country. NOT EVEN ONCE. Every War since WW2 Has Been a Marketing Trick Engineered to Increase Sales by The Military Industrial Complex... Dow Chemical, Hughes Aircraft, Lockheed, FMC, Raytheon... 
MEME - Let's Cut the Pentagon Budget In Half and Refund the Money to The Taxpayers - gvan42

 Remember: People Waste Their Entire Working Lives Serving in the Military or Working at a Defense Contractor. IMAGINE what those Engineers Could have Designed if they Had Not Been Creating Weapons... 

 And the Veterans... Many Come back Wounded and with PTSD. I interviewed Hundreds of Homeless Veterans applying for Welfare and they are Angry... at Being Deceived... and They all had had that Horrible Realization That "The Mission" was TOTALLY BOGUS... and They Were Risking Their Lives for Corporate Greed... 

 If we Simply Refunded That Wasted Money To The Taxpayers WE THE PEOPLE Would Spend it at American Businesses... Buying Food for our Children, Healthcare, Shoes, Books, Computers, Bicycles, Cars... USEFUL PRODUCTS THAT MAKE REAL PEOPLE'S LIVES BETTER!

 Just Giving the Super Rich More Money DOES NOTHING for The USA... Remember: REGROOVING is the Cure for Compulsive Hoarding of Money Syndrome...

A rarely noticed Side Effect of the Failed War on Drugs. It Makes most teenagers HATE the POLICE. And that becomes a lifetime of NON-COOPERATION With LAWN FORCEMENT.

Since the majority of people in the USA have smoked Marijuana and since Criminals hate cops therefore the majority of Americans Hate Cops. The term NARC is an insult due to CRAZYLAWS [tm]. Teenagers are not easily fooled. The LAW says that Marijuana is a Schedule ONE Illegal Drug with NO KNOWN Medicinal Value. AND at the same time Medical Marijuana is Legal in Many States... OBVIOUSLY, SOMEONE IS LYING.

 A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE FAILED WAR ON DRUGS. "It seems like, every time we declare a 'war on' something we make the problem worse. I wish we would declare a War On Hot Chicks! We would have them on every street corner, giving themselves away."

In the Beginning, God created the Kind Herb and it was good. Then he created the Opium Poppy and it was NOT so good. and the Coca plant and the Coffee plant and God grew mold on rye and Magic mushrooms and peyote and Mimosa Bark and FREAKING PSYCHEDELIC TOADS! What was God Doing? Creating all this? Well, as Benjamin Franklin said... "BEER IS PROOF THAT GOD LOVES US AND WANTS US TO BE HAPPY."

Meanwhile... A Mad Dog decided to Declare a War on Drugs! Harry Anslinger convinced the Elected officials that Marijuana was the Devil's Weed and REEFER MADNESS was born.

Trump's Deregulation of the Banking Industry sets us up for ANOTHER DISASTER like the Stock Market Crash of 2008 and the Taxpayer Bailout of Wall Street.

MEME - gvan42 - Trump Deregulation of Banking Industry sets us up for another crash like 2008
tRUMP pretends that Deregulation Will
Make America Great Again.
NOT TRUE !
It Will only Let Rich People Get More Money
While Destroying the Environment...
and People's Health...

WAKE UP AMERICA!
Every Move He Makes Harms the 99%

https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/voices/2018/09/14/trump-republicans-inviting-new-wall-street-crash-lehman-anniversary-column/1292862002/
Headline: Wall Street firms reward people for risky behavior. I know because I was there. We need rules, not the deregulation pushed by Trump and Republicans.

 Lehman Bros., one of the largest investment banks in the USA, filed for bankruptcy protection a decade ago Saturday and triggered the worst financial crisis in modern American history. In the aftermath of the financial system’s collapse, as the excesses of Wall Street were revealed to the American public, people were shocked that banks had been allowed to make such reckless bets with their money. It seemed absurd that there were no rules in place to prevent these bankers from playing roulette with the U.S. economy on the line.

 Ten years later, many of the rules and regulations put in place to prevent such a crisis from happening again are under attack. It would have been unthinkable as recently as a few years ago, but in the past year we’ve actually seen banking deregulation legislation pass Congress. In an effort to inflate profits for big banks, the Trump administration and Congress are setting us up for another crash.

 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Financial_crisis_of_2007%E2%80%932008
Massive bail-outs of financial institutions were employed to prevent a possible collapse of the world financial system. In total, $623 billion in taxpayer money was dispersed via bailouts...

 https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2013/may/28/bank-bailout-cost-taxpayers
Last week, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) released a report (pdf) with what seemed like good news: the bailout of 2008 – which fronted $700bn in taxpayer funds to prop up the financial institutions that brought the economy to the brink – ended up cheaper than expected. The price tag was revised down to $21bn from $24bn.

 The picture was even rosier once you looked past how much it cost to bailout General Motors and insurance giant AIG. The cost of the bank bailout alone is, in fact, projected to be "almost nothing", as Politico's Morning Money blog put it. So insignificant was the harm done to taxpayers that Politico put "bailout" in quotation marks.

 So, the hullabaloo was apparently for nothing. Far from being victims robbed of their tax dollars, the American public is essentially a winner in the bank rescue scheme – a shrewd investor who (involuntarily) played her cards right.

 This is the line the banks and the US Treasury would like us to swallow. It is, of course, totally false. The bailout cost us plenty, and continues to do so. Sadly, it is the gift that keeps on giving to the very banks that drove our economy over a cliff – and took trillions in housing wealth, retirement funds and millions of jobs with it.

 First of all, $21bn is no bargain. It's a hefty sum for a government we're constantly told is broke – and needs to cut everything from air traffic controllers to Medicare, and from meals for needy seniors to public defenders and housing aid. Broke – but somehow able to front $700bn for reckless, wildly mismanaged banks.

NSA CyberWeapon "EternalBlueScreen" escaped the Agency and has wreaked Havoc as Malware... Your Tax Dollars at Work. Also Know as "EternalBlue" Ransomware.

The NSA designed this CyberWeapon to exploit a Flaw in Microsoft Software... Instead of REPORTING this flaw to Microsoft so they could fix it, the NSA built Malware... An absurd waste of Taxpayer Dollars and COMMON SENSE. There is a formal tip line that allows anyone to report bugs... by the NSA FAILED TO REPORT THIS... and It has caused a Billion Dollars of Damage Worldwide... 
~~~~~ (~);-} ~~~~~

 Headline: In Baltimore and Beyond, a Stolen N.S.A. Tool Wreaks Havoc... For nearly three weeks, Baltimore has struggled with a cyberattack by digital extortionists that has frozen thousands of computers, shut down email and disrupted real estate sales, water bills, health alerts and many other services.

 But here is what frustrated city employees and residents do not know: A key component of the malware that cybercriminals used in the attack was developed at taxpayer expense a short drive down the Baltimore-Washington Parkway at the National Security Agency, according to security experts briefed on the case.

 Since 2017, when the N.S.A. lost control of the tool, EternalBlue, it has been picked up by state hackers in North Korea, Russia and, more recently, China, to cut a path of destruction around the world, leaving billions of dollars in damage. But over the past year, the cyberweapon has boomeranged back and is now showing up in the N.S.A.’s own backyard. 

 https://www.nytimes.com/2019/05/25/us/nsa-hacking-tool-baltimore.html

 N.S.A. Denies Its Cyberweapon Was Used in Baltimore Attack, Congressman Says... BALTIMORE — A Maryland congressman said on Friday that the National Security Agency had denied that one of its hacking tools, stolen in 2017, was used in a ransomware attack on Baltimore’s government that had disrupted city services for more than three weeks.

 The statement, made by Representative C.A. Dutch Ruppersberger, came in response to an article in The New York Times last weekend. The Times was told by people directly involved in the investigation in Baltimore that the N.S.A. tool, EternalBlue, was found in the city’s network by all four contractors hired to study the attack and restore computer services.

 Investigators are still trying to determine the exact chronology of the attack. The leading theory is that hackers broke in through an open server in Baltimore’s network, installed a back door and then used EternalBlue to move across the city’s computers searching for valuable servers to infect, said the people involved in the investigation.

 This week, the contractors discovered an additional software tool, called a web shell, on Baltimore’s networks. They believe the web shell may have been used in conjunction with EternalBlue and another hacking technique known as “pass-the-hash,” which uses stolen credentials, to spread the ransomware.

Show US Trump's Tax Returns! It's the LAW... In Fact, "We the People" want to find out if Trump is a CROOK.

 The law invoked last week by House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Richard Neal, D-Mass., empowers Congress to obtain the returns of any taxpayer directly from the Internal Revenue Service.

Great Book: "Trumpocracy: The Corruption of the American Republic" by David Frum - How Trump is looting America in order to steal more money for himself.

Bestselling author, former White House speechwriter, and Atlantic columnist and media commentator David Frum explains why President Trump has undermined our most important institutions in ways even the most critical media has missed, in this thoughtful and hard-hitting book that is a warning for democracy and America’s future.

"From Russia to South Africa, from Turkey to the Philippines, from Venezuela to Hungary, authoritarian leaders have smashed restraints on their power. Media freedom and judicial independence have eroded. The right to vote remains, but the right to have one’s vote counted fairly may not. Until the US presidential election of 2016, the global decline of democracy seemed a concern for other peoples in other lands. . . . That complacent optimism has been upended by the political rise of Donald Trump. The crisis is upon Americans, here and now."

Quietly, steadily, Trump and his administration are damaging the tenets and accepted practices of American democracy, perhaps irrevocably. As he and his family enrich themselves, the presidency itself falls into the hands of the generals and financiers who surround him.

While much of the country has been focused on Russia, David Frum has been collecting the lies, obfuscations, and flagrant disregard for the traditional limits placed on the office of the presidency. In Trumpocracy, he documents how Trump and his administration are steadily damaging the tenets and accepted practices of American democracy. During his own White House tenure as George W. Bush’s speechwriter, Frum witnessed the ways the presidency is limited not by law but by tradition, propriety, and public outcry, all now weakened. Whether the Trump presidency lasts two, four, or eight more years, he has changed the nature of the office for the worse, and likely for decades.

In this powerful and eye-opening book, Frum makes clear that the hard work of recovery starts at home. Trumpocracy outlines how Trump could push America toward illiberalism, what the consequences could be for our nation and our everyday lives, and what we can do to prevent it.

I oppose building "The Wall" prototypes near San Diego wasting $20 Million. The People of the USA will NEVER fund building the Mexico Wall ever.

We will be left with walls to nowhere. Permanent structures of Absurdist Sculpture that future generations can point to and laugh at how crazy we were. These prototypes will be the only structures built ever and a lasting insult to sanity.

Prototypes of what new sections of a wall on the Mexican border might look like should be completed by late summer, a Department of Homeland Security official said Tuesday.
Ronald Vitiello, acting deputy commissioner of Customs and Border Protection, said up to eight prototypes will be up by September so that DHS can decide which design is best for building hundreds of miles of new barrier along the border, as called for by President Trump.

You can avoid that dreadful feeling the morning after
drinking alcohol by simply switching to Marijuana.

Schedule I drugs are: heroin, lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD), marijuana (cannabis), 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (ecstasy), methaqualone, and peyote. Odd list... Peyote is on it but Mescaline is not... that makes no sense... Mescaline and Peyote are the same... Just refined... What about Magic Mushrooms? If they have LSD and Peyote doesn't Psilocibin fit into the same category?
This List was obviously written by people that were uneducated...
We can explain reality to our elected representatives, It's a good thing to do.
