Charles Koch, George Soros Help Fund Think Tank Opposed To 'Endless War' - Wonderful - I want to work there.

America “goes not abroad in search of monsters to destroy.” — Said John Quincy Adams, sixth president of the United States and namesake for new think tank. 

The Boston Globe reports the "astonishing turn" that organizations created by libertarian billionaire Charles Koch and progressive billionaire George Soros are helping to fund a new think tank, the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft. The new group is committed to promoting "ideas that move U.S. foreign policy away from endless war and toward vigorous diplomacy in the pursuit of international peace."

Massive Anti-Trump Protest on July 4th in Washington DC. Trump is Planning a Campaign Rally at the Lincoln Memorial with A Foaming at the Mouth Hate Filled Rant.

NOTE: THIS EVENT HAS ALREADY HAPPENED... THE NEXT EVENT IS YET TO BE ANNOUNCED... PLEASE CONTACT ME WITH AN INVITATION AND I'LL POST A LINK HERE! gregvan@yahoo.com


A perfect time for a Half a Million people to surround Trump and Scream... 

This seems like a perfect opportunity for Civil Disobedience... 
A Patriot Could Bring a Personal Alarm and when Trump Speaks, pull the cord and make a 130 dB Noise! 

DO NOT BRING Firecrackers, M-80s or Cherry bombs to Trump's Speech on July 4th... The Secret Service will arrest you... Massive explosions sound too much like gunfire... DO NOT BRING THEM TO THE LINCOLN MEMORIAL... Bring Personal Alarms...

The Traditional Fireworks will be moved over to Potomac Park...  far away from the Mall... So, we will just have to bring our own Fireworks... Especially the Rockets that Fly Up into the Air and Explode! A person can buy all varieties of explosives at South of the Border in South Carolina... Often people just drive south and bring back many varieties of things that go BOOM! M-80 Firecrackers would drive the Secret Service INSANE! and Trump would Duck and Cover... 

COST TO TAXPAYERS $2.5 MILLION DOLLARS

Headline: Trump Hijacks Washington, DC July 4th Celebrations To Put Himself at the Center... 

President Donald Trump has taken over the organizational plans for the nation’s annual July 4th celebrations in Washington, DC, according to the Washington Post. He has moved the fireworks display from the Mall, where it has been held for more than 50 years, to a spot closer to the Potomac River. He has also inserted himself into the program, promising to address the nation from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, turning the usual non-partisan celebration of the nation’s independence into what will amount to a campaign rally. Officials did not have a price tag on the changes, but the Post reported that the firework display on the Mall has been orchestrated for more than half a century.

A better Idea... Instead of bringing Firecrackers to DISRUPT Trump's July Fourth Celebration... Bring a Personal Alarm! and make a 130dB Screaming Noise! You can tell the Police "Hey, I Felt Threatened... That's Why I Pulled the Alarm..." and It's TRUE... Trump's Speeches ARE THREATENING!

Where is all that BURNT DEBRIS (Homes in Paradise, California) Going TO? Disposal by CalRecycle... Dump Trucks Seen going to Beale AFB... One person's observation...

A Person that Chooses to Remain Anonymous said: 

We were close to Chico/Paradise area today. There was a constant stream of dump trucks traveling North & South. We wondered where they Paradise debris was being dumped. WELL, they all turned at the Beale Air Force Base road. Empty (uncovered) were headed back North towards Paradise. A strong suspicion, it's being loaded on huge cargo planes - to what country? An expose' we saw a few years ago, outdated computer monitors, etc., including heavy metals, were dumped in 3rd world countries to be disassembled in open junk yards. More "stuff" no one talks about because it's deplorable.

Very Interesting... Speaking of PG&E... I remember many years ago... PG&E had a massive need for shredding their documents and the Retarded People who work shredding near the Silver Dollar Fairground got the contract... This was exactly at the same time as the ENRON Scandal and Governor Grey made insane deals to buy power at extremely high prices... and the we got Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger to replace Grey... American History Repeats Itself... 

Trump Expresses Shock at Homelessness, ‘a Phenomenon That Started Two Years Ago’ - EXACTLY WHEN HE TOOK OFFICE THE PROBLEMS BEGAN - according to Interview Between Trump and a Rainbow Unicorn Butterfly Kitty...

Trump-0-Nomics is an Obvious Disaster... that's why there are so many Homeless People... "Voodoo Economics" Has Harmed the VAST MAJORITY of Americans... The Super Rich are Making More Money with Trump BUT You and Me and the Guy Living in his Van down by the river are NOT WINNING a Lot of Money on the Stock Market... 

"Voodoo Economics" is what George Bush the Father Called Reagan's "Trickle Down Economics." BUBBLE UP ECONOMICS IS A WINNER FOR ALL... Raise the Minimum Wage to $15 per Hour and Workers will Spend that extra money in American Businesses... BUBBLING UP through the Entire USA!

https://www.nytimes.com/2019/07/02/us/politics/trump-homeless.html

In a puzzling series of comments during an interview over the weekend, Mr. Trump professed his concern about people living on the streets in America’s biggest cities, declaring that it is “a phenomenon that started two years ago.”

It did not. But in an interview for “Tucker Carlson Tonight” broadcast on Fox News on Monday night, the president seemed to be unaware of decades of struggles by governments, churches and nonprofit organizations to combat homelessness, especially in high-rent places like New York City, San Francisco and Los Angeles.

Mr. Carlson prompted the discussion by telling Mr. Trump that those three cities have “a major problem with filth.” The president agreed, calling it “sad” and saying, “We never had this in our lives before in this country.”

COPYCAT - Both "Drain the Swamp" & "Make America Great Again" were Slogans of Ronald Reagan... Trump just PLAGIARIZED Reagan because he can't think of a slogan for himself.

The phrase first became popular in 1983 when President Ronald Reagan said he was in Washington "to drain the swamp," a reference to limiting the reach and growth of government.

Reagan had Buttons printed with the Slogan "Let's Make America Great Again" and we are STILL WAITING FOR THAT TO HAPPEN!

I liked camping at the "Welcome Home" Kitchen... They provided Hot Coffee, Clean Drinking Water and Vegetable Soup... PLUS, it was the first place We got to from the parking lot so MANY people walked thru... and Many accepted our invitation to sit a spell... I had the blessing of working there as a FIRE TENDER when the other guys went off to trade a large thermos of hot coffee for Pizza... Someone had to be the responsible adult and watch the fire... and I volunteered... Then I walked over to the Big Shady Spot at Main Meadow... In UTAH, the elevation requires that you pay attention to SUNBURN and Sitting in the Shade is a Blessing...

FOREST ROAD 412:
Some good advice for when you are just arriving at the Site of the Rainbow Gathering itself:
The final road, Forest Road 412 is a ONE WAY road. When you see cars parked along the road, on the right hand side, pull off, making sure that all four of your wheels are off the roadway. Get your gear and begin to hike to the trail head. If you see a better parking spot, leave a friend there to hold it for you, and go back and bring your vehicle forward.

If you start driving the road hoping for an open spot, and there is NOT one, you will need to do a full 30 minute drive around the loop to come back down the one-way road again.

The Rainbow Family of Living Light chose to hold its 2019 annual gathering on the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest on the Washburn Ranger District. The unauthorized gathering site will be located near Canthook Lake off of Forest Service Road 412 near the town of Delta,  about 20 minutes from Iron River, Wisconsin. The gathering is expected to last through the July 4 weekend.  After that, several Rainbow Family members stay on site for several weeks to work on clean-up and rehabilitation.

Get and use Permethrin for ticks, Lyme big issue this year!

Chris Hogan wrote:

Hey everyone. This gathering is literally in my backyard. Like I can walk to it through woods. I know this place real well. You need to bring permethrin for your clothes and a old cotton sheet that you can tie to a stick like a flag and sweep grasses around tent and on paths for tics they cling to cotton then kill them. This is deer tic heaven and lymes is probably your biggest concern In these woods. They are everywhere. Tic check daily do not miss a day. Always be watching everyone else too. It is very serious. I’ve lived most of my life here and haven’t contracted it yet but have treated for it a few times just in case. I just had one imbedded this morning from 5 minutes in the woods yesterday. If they remain on you for 30 hours you need to go get a dose of antibiotics antibiotics are effective within first two weeks after infection. If you wait they become ineffective quickly. So many people around here have lymes disease.
You can buy pemethrin anywhere but if you go to an agricultural store they have it in concentrate and ten bucks worth will make ten gallons of spray and it last a month on the clothes you treat and it works they die when they get on your clothes. Also do not wear clothing til it has dried after spraying it causes nerve problems. This tic and mosquito repellant is made from marigold plants. They haven’t been to bad yet this year. This was my first one this year. But that means the hatch has started. I tell you this because I love you! 💕

Trump is in favor of killing people in Yemen... Lockheed's profits are more important that schoolchildren... what a sick person...

What, didn't his MOTHER teach him the difference between good and evil?

What ever happened to Moses and the Ten Commandments?

Thou Shalt Not Kill... was that a Mistake?

PROUD BOYS get the date wrong for 4th of July Celebration... UH, we thought it was the Sixth... you know, give the people a little extra time to get to the Washington DC Protest March...

Massive Riot Planned! Movie deal up for grabs... "This is what Democracy Looks Like 2.0" is coming soon to a theater near YOU! 

I believe the SECOND CIVIL WAR will be interesting to watch on TV but NOT FUN to actually participate in. GUN NUTS keep on saying that IF Trump Loses the election in 2020 there will be GUNFIRE Nationwide. Especially in Washington DC when the Police try to enter the White House to drag Trump out in Handcuffs. PLAN TO BE FAR AWAY! Like a Vacation in Australia or East OOGA BOOGA.

YANA LUDWIG is running for US SENATE in Wyoming... an Ecology Activist... against Liz Cheney, the Vice President's Daughter...

https://www.yana4wyo.com/

WHO IS YANA LUDWIG?

Mayana (Yana) Katherine Ludwig is a 49 year old Laramie resident who was born in Bemidji, MN, having missed the excitement of the 1960’s by a mere 5 weeks. She is a bisexual woman married to Matt Stannard, the former debate coach at the University of Wyoming and a UW Law school graduate. Matt is a writer, producer, and teacher on cooperative economics and debate. Between them they have 7 kids, 4 of whom are students in Wyoming’s public school system.

Yana has long history of social justice and ecological activism, starting as a kid following her ecologist dad around the Great Lakes as he did toxicology research on bird populations, and land reclamation work on former mining sites.

YANA LUDWIG'S PLATFORM

https://www.yana4wyo.com/platform

MARIJUANA

I favor the full legalization and decriminalization of marijuana, including releasing people who are serving sentences for marijuana-related charges, and wiping the records of all people with marijuana convictions. There should also be recognition of the uneven impact marijuana conviction have had on communities of color and poor communities, and legal corrections for those past harms.

CLIMATE DISRUPTION

The Green New Deal sets goals (which are great), but not specific policies. The policies need to include green infrastructure, transportation and energy, and focus on economic health for “fossil fuel states” like Wyoming. I favor the bipartisan Carbon Fee and Dividend bill promoted by Citizens Climate Lobby. This would provide monthly dividends to all people, rising over time. We must further use safe, proven technology to capture carbon. The most tried and true method for this is trees. My Billion Tree Initiative would draw labor from two places: states that rely most heavily on fossil fuels currently for their economic vibrancy, and a massive reallocation of military personnel away from overseas war-making, which is disastrous ecologically and leaves vets with high levels of PTSD and depression that is inadequately treated when they come home.

Note that my 2017 book, Together Resilient: Building Community in the Age of Climate Disruption, has a full platform related to climate.
