This is Friday August 9,
2019 and the 45th anniversary of when President Nixon resigned. Time flies when you’re not having fun. Yesterday was August 8th and it
was the fiftieth anniversary of the Abbey Road photograph with the Beatles and
the street appeared in the news all day.
It was nearly a year ago when the lead posting in “Skeletons from the
Closet” first appeared. It was about the
twentieth anniversary of whenever- - - when things were better in my life and I
felt younger and had more energy and I wasn’t seeing doctors every other day. Last night the score was 7 to 7 in the pre
season football game between the LA Chargers and the Arizona Cardinals. Then I got distracted and eventually went to
bed. I need to be more goal oriented and
stick with something. Congress is off for
six weeks, as you know. I think talk of
impeachment will be dead when congress starts up again in September. The voters will tell their congressmen “we
just want to think about the election.
We’re tired of wallowing in the past”.
Of course with Trump, an outrage becomes “In the past” a day or two
later, and all we want to do is just forget the previous four years never
happened. Of course Trump won’t let us
forget because there is a new outrage.
Thom Hartman is still a little worried that Trump may not leave office
when his first or second term is expired.
For a guy whom it was rumored didn’t want the job this means fighting awfully
hard to hang on to it. They were
talking about when Adolph Hitler first came to power in Germany. That was on January 30th of
1933. Nothing changed immediately and
the newspaper editorials weren’t concerned.
There were a million things that could happen that would keep Hitler’s
tenure from being one of any length. Of
course with Trump and Hitler what we need to remember is that they are stealth
candidates. There is a lot more beneath
the surface that we don’t see. We could
still have a dictatorship with Trump.
And if that happens people like my brother will still be saying “I think
it’s a shame that the media in this country doesn’t respect our president”. I’d like to know why Paul “respects”
him. What noble deed has Trump done to
earn my brother’s admiration. In the
beginning nobody thought Trump had any future, but it’s as though somewhere
along the line he cast a spell on them.
We hear that with Hitler that the legislature rebuffed Hitler’s “conditions”
many times and each time they said, “Well, that’s the last we’ll hear from that
guy”. But each time Hitler came
back. It’s like he and God knew that he
was destined for world power, or something.
I turned on Democracy Now
at five thirty. We have a Global Warming
crisis for real, you know. Some people
believe it’s already too late to act, as the debate illustrated. Google won’t refer you to left wing sources
or groups. We heard that last week. But Google is not above smearing progressives
if they are paid enough money from the right people, like reps from
Monsanto. As you know Roundup has the
cancer thing, but also it’s a GMO and there legal as well as health
ramifications to this. GMO’s mess with
your immune system and cause organ failure.
Neil Young put out a whole album about the activities of Monsanto, and
they played a song off of it. Maybe I’ll
buy it. Someone was saying maybe it’s OK
if the democrats pick a “corporate” nominee.
I certainly hope not. We don’t want
another president like Bill Clinton, who signed a bill selling out the communications
industry. That’s too corporate for
me. But hey, “Anybody but Trump”. Let’s hope we aren’t that desperate. I hope Joe Biden isn’t owned by some
corporation. I haven’t heard that he
was. They say that the earth’s surface
temperature is rising faster than anticipated and we are already a couple of
degrees above where we should be. We
have to take decisive action on fossil fuels.
Some want us to limit our meat intake because this is inefficient use of
the land. A lot of the changes we’ll
have to make are cultural changes, which take a long time to go into
effect. But we can’t have a president
who believes it’s all “fake science”. We
cannot afford to have a president who doubts the existance of the problem. It was 28 years ago when Al Gore put out “Earth
in the Balance”. Evidence has only
accumulated by the ton in the past 28 years.
One can only wonder what would have happened if Al Gore had been elected
president in 2000.
The big news from Rick
Unger is that Senator Mc Connell is going to allow some gun legislation to be
taken up. It might be a background
check. But more likely it’s instituting
these “red flag” laws like apparently we have here in California. That is- - if a loved one is deemed unfit or
mentally unstable you have the ability to take his gun away from him. The trouble is this won’t cut down on gun
sales because the family already owns the gun.
The way Rick Unger put it, this is “emergency back pocket legislation”. The Republicans knew there would come a day
when there were too many gun mass shootings and the people would rise up and
demand that congress do something, so that they can be re-elected again. The problem is that Trump reversed the
executive order given by Obama that mental patients on SSI like myself be put
on a master list of people not allowed to buy guns. This of course would stimulate gun sales,
which is what the NRA wants. Also Trump
opened the door to gun sales to other countries. Whether any of this will happen is still a
mystery. It may all be just a liberal’s
pipe dream.
I turned on the computer about twenty to six. She talked about Trump and mental illness and
how mental patients are more often victims of violence rather than the
instigator of it. Before this it was
Kashmir. The Federation spells it
“Kashmeir” and they are pro Kashmir autonomy.
It’s the first time the Federation has come out of its shell since
June. My contacts with the Federation
are almost non existant and they picked that issue to do it. Then it was Stephanie. There was a medication line so I didn’t get
my medication till breakfast. They contradicted
the menu and we had sugar frosted flakes for a cereal. After this it was a scrambled egg and cheese
sandwich on an English muffin. I had
just the one cup of coffee. We had tater
tots and catsup.
Ted La Raunt found out the hard way the great truth NEVER BE THERE WHEN NICOLE TAKES OFF HER MASK. Here's a secret. Sometimes when powerful people or even spiritual entities lie to you, they are protecting you from something more ghastly that will happen to you. When they choose to reveal all of their secrets, the end is near. (Selah)
