The Internet is a Great Benefit to Retired People. Years ago, Men would Retire from Work and Die Quickly... Due to Boredom... Lack of Things to Fill up their time...

It's Possible that the Internet will actually extent the lifespan of Retired People... It keeps the Mind Occupied... Chatting with Friends on Facebook... Writing an Autobiography... Uploading Music Videos and Art... Writing Opinion Articles for a Blog. It appears that about a hundred people a day read my words of wisdom. Even if my words are NOT particularly Wise. It keeps my mind active thinking up what to say... Learning Stuff... Watching Music Videos on Youtube... Looking at Photographs taken by people I know... I especially enjoy Videos of the Children in my Family... 

I remember that My Father used to Watch the News on TV and It would make him angry... So he would yell at the TV... NOT as satisfying as WRITING an opinion article and publishing it on Google's Blogger, Facebook, Tumblr, Ello, Mastodon, Minds and Wordpress... People read My Words and Comment... 

I tried sitting on the back porch and observing the trees... and the creek... It's not that great... 

Just watching TV all day allows Other People to Determine What is Available to Watch... and what IDEAS are Poured into My Brain... They are in business to sell advertising and so they simply show whatever the most number of people with disposable income want to watch... For Example: On my dish we have about ten movie channels and they repeat the top 100 movies again and again... Men in Black, Harry Potter, Ghostbusters and Total Recall are shown about once a week...

However there are a few networks that provide different content. Free Speech TV, Link TV, CSPAN and PBS all have no advertisements and NO CORPORATE MASTERS.

Trump's Approval Rating Hits ALL TIME LOW. Mueller Report CAUSES a 5 Point Decline because Voters are Disgusted by Obvious Obstruction of Justice, Lying and Corruption...

https://www.politico.com/story/2019/04/22/trump-approval-mueller-report-1286386 
Only 39 percent of voters surveyed in the new poll approve of the job Trump is doing as president. That is down from 44 percent last week and ties Trump’s lowest-ever approval rating in POLITICO/Morning Consult polling — a 39 percent rating in mid-August 2017, in the wake of violence in Charlottesville, Va.

Nearly 6 in 10 voters, 57 percent, disapprove of the job Trump is doing.

Why??? Muslims are killing Christians and Christians are killing Muslims... Atheists, Hindus, Buddhists, Taoists and Pastafarians are also NOT Killing anyone... WHY???

Because Muslims and Christians are INSANE!

OK, You give me another Explanation for... 9/11, Sri Lanka Bombing, New Zealand Mosque Mass Shooting, The Crusades, The Spanish Inquisition, Mass Murder at a Synagogue in Pittsburgh... 

Or... simply Convert to Rainbow Spiralism... 

Trump's Main Goal: Make Rich People Richer. Especially Himself... How? Simply Do what Rupert Murdoch Tells Him to Do... Trump's a Member of the Fox News Brainwashing Cult.

Another Corrupt Republican: Rep Duncan Hunter made a FAKE Video of Himself Jumping Over the Wall into Mexico. It was NOT the wall, it was a Vehicle Barrier Nearby... Citizens are Outraged because He Cannot Leave the Country due to his Bail Agreement on Fraud Charges... He's a Total Wanker!

The Video shows him PRETENDING to cross the border into Mexico but ACTUALLY shows him Stepping over a Traffic Barrier... He is heard LYING about how the Border Wall is Not tall enough to prevent people from crossing and he demonstrates how easy it is USING A FAKE WALL...

https://www.cnn.com/2019/04/19/politics/duncan-hunter-border-video-violate-bail-agreement/index.html

Rep. Duncan Hunter posted a video Thursday of himself climbing over a barrier that he erroneously calls "the grand border wall" in a move his Democratic opponent initially claimed violated Hunter's bail agreement.

In the video, Hunter claimed to be attempting to cross the border to show how easy it would be. However, the barrier that Hunter crossed was just a vehicle barrier approximately 75-100 feet from the border, according to Border Patrol spokesman Vincent Dulesky, as relayed by the Times of San Diego.

Trump Told Lewandowski to Do His Dirty Work, Thwart Mueller Probe... BUT Corey Refused to Deliver the message... Put the "Future Crimes Only" plan in his personal safe at home... AND He Didn't Fire Sessions...

http://nymag.com/intelligencer/2019/04/trump-told-lewandowski-to-do-his-dirty-work-thwart-mueller.html

In the summer of 2017, President Trump told Corey Lewandowski, his former campaign manager, to have then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions thwart Robert Mueller’s investigation, according to the special counsel’s report. Trump also told Lewandowski to fire Sessions if he refused a meeting to talk about the issue, the report says.

The report details a meeting between Trump and Lewandowski, which came just two days after Trump met with former White House counsel Don McGahn and asked him to have Mueller removed. In the meeting, Trump “brought up Sessions and criticized his recusal from the Russia investigation,” the report says.

He then asked Lewandowski to deliver a message to Sessions. The attorney general, Trump told Lewandowski, should give a speech saying the following:

I know that I recused myself from certain things having to do with specific areas. But our POTUS … is being treated very unfairly. He shouldn’t have a Special Prosecutor/Counsel b/c he hasn’t done anything wrong. I was on the campaign w/ him for nine months, there were no Russians involved with him. I know it for a fact b/c I was there. He didn’t do anything wrong except he ran the greatest campaign in American history.

Trump then wanted Sessions to say that he would limit the special counsel’s investigation to future election interference. All this, despite Sessions’s recusal from the investigation.

Lewandowski was careful about getting this message to Sessions, according to the report. He didn’t want to do it over the phone or in person at the Justice Department. So he set up a meeting with Sessions, but it never happened.

Roughly a month later, Lewandowski was back in the Oval Office. Trump asked him about getting the message to Sessions and Lewandowski told him it would happen soon. Lewandowski had set up a meeting between Sessions and Rick Dearborn, the former White House deputy chief of staff, whom Lewandowski was entrusting with passing along Trump’s message.

In that meeting, Lewandowski remembers Trump telling him that he should tell Sessions he’d be fired if Sessions did not agree to meet with him. After the meeting, Lewandowski ran into Dearborn and gave him the message that was meant to be delivered to Sessions. But Dearborn didn’t like what he saw on the typed note. He would later tell Lewandowski “that he had handled the situation,” though the message was never actually delivered.

Erik Prince CAUGHT Lying to Congress by The Mueller Report. [Blackwater Private Military Founder] Is he Going To Jail?

https://www.thedailybeast.com/mueller-exposes-erik-princes-lies-about-his-seychelles-rendezvous-with-top-russian-kirill-dmitriev

Headline: Erik Prince, the Trumpworld associate and founder of the private military firm Blackwater, told Congress all sorts of things about his rendezvous with a powerful Moscow financial titan.  

Many of those things weren’t true, Special Counsel Robert Mueller confirmed in his report, released on Thursday.

Prince said he didn’t know who he was meeting on his trip to a remote Indian Ocean island in January 2017, just days before the inauguration of President Trump. Not true.

Prince said the meeting with Kirill Dmitriev, the head of one of Russia’s sovereign wealth funds, the Russian Direct Investment Fund, was a chance encounter. Not true.

Prince said they talked mostly about minerals and energy. Not true.

Prince denied he was acting as a Trumpworld emissary when he met with Dmitriev. Mueller’s report seems to indicate that is also not true.

Oh, and Dmitriev’s representatives claimed in a Kremlin propaganda outlet that The Daily Beast’s reporting on his participation in the Seychelles and his conversations with Prince was some kind of “smear campaign.” The reporting matched Mueller’s report. It was true.

How this impacts Prince’s future is unclear. Prince was interviewed by the Special Counsel under a proffer agreement, according to the Mueller report. The terms of that agreement have not been made public. 

“Prince acknowledged that it was fair to think that he would pass information on to the Transition Team, the report added. Prince has previously denied that he acted as a Trump representative while in the Seychelles.”

Headline: Blackwater founder Erik Prince helped fund effort tied to obtaining Clinton's emails.

Blackwater founder Erik Prince was involved in funding an effort to verify if a cache of stolen emails purporting to be from former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's private email server were legitimate, according to special counsel Robert Mueller's report.

Prince in 2016 was approached by Barbara Ledeen, an aide to Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), and agreed to fund the hiring of a tech expert to verify if the emails were from Clinton's server, which was the subject of a 2016 FBI investigation.

"Ledeen claimed to have obtained a trove of emails (from what she described as the 'dark web') that purported to be the deleted Clinton emails. Ledeen wanted to authenticate the emails and solicited contributions to fund that effort. Erik Prince provided funding to hire a tech advisor to ascertain the authenticity of the emails," reads a section of the Mueller report, which was released Thursday.

"According to Prince, the tech advisor determined that the emails were not authentic," the report continues.

Prince, who advised the Trump campaign throughout 2016, admitted last month to have also been involved in a key meeting at Trump Tower during the campaign. At that meeting, businessman George Nader told top members of the campaign that the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia were interested in supporting President Trump's bid for the White House.

Prince, the brother of Education Secretary Betsy DeVos, previously testified before Congress that he only had an "unofficial" role with the Trump campaign, limited to placing yard signs and attending fundraisers. But in March he told Al Jazeera he had discussed Iran policy with top members of the campaign.


Prince and Nader have both been asked to cooperate in the House Judiciary Committee's ongoing investigation into the president and his advisers.

Great Movie: "Planetary" Documentary - Astronauts speak of One World Interconnected. GAIA. Tribal Elders, Ecology People and Philosophers...

https://www.outerplaces.com/science/item/8369-planetary-documentary-features-nasa-imagery-and-earthly-sights-to-be-released-on-earth-day 

Features NASA Imagery and Earthly Sights,.. This Earth Day, filmmakers Guy Reid and Steve Kennedy will celebrate our planet by releasing their new documentary, Planetary, which contains all the Earth porn you'll ever need in service of a larger environmental and spiritual message.

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3462896/

As seen in the trailer, the film will juxtapose images of Earth from NASA missions with everyday scenes from Earthly life, at Buddhist monasteries in the Himalayas and in downtown Tokyo and Manhattan. It will also feature interviews with many experts who will speak to their perspective on our planet, including astronauts Mae Jemison and Ron Garan, cosmologist Brian Swimme, National Geographic explorer Elizabeth Lindsey, and physicist Peter Russell, as well as poets, authors, philosophers, environmentalists, doctors, Buddhist scholars, and more. 

We are in the midst of a global crisis of perspective. We have forgotten the undeniable truth that everything is connected. PLANETARY is a provocative and breathtaking wakeup call, a cross continental, cinematic journey, that explores our cosmic origins and our future as a species. PLANETARY is a poetic and humbling reminder that it's time to shift our perspective. PLANETARY asks us to rethink who we really are, to reconsider our relationship with ourselves, each other and the world around us - to remember that: we are PLANETARY. In a stunning visual exploration, the film interweaves imagery from NASA Apollo missions with visions of the Milky Way, Buddhist monasteries in the Himalayas, and the cacophonous sounds of downtown Tokyo and Manhattan, with intimate interviews from renowned experts including astronauts Ron Garan and Mae Jemison (the first African American woman in space), celebrated environmentalist Bill McKibben, National Book Award winner Barry Lopez, anthropologist Wade Davis, to National Geographic Explorer Elizabeth Lindsey, and Head of the Tibetan Buddhist Kagyu school, the 17th Karmapa. They shed new light on the ways our worldview is profoundly affecting life on our planet.
