I make mistakes.
that's why I'm not
a professional
Got a New Idea to
work with though.
Ten percent of musicians
make enough money to live on, right?
What about the other
90%? I think they'd love an outlet for playing, and I have the best forum
that is inclusive of as many instruments as possible.
All percussion is
welcome on all songs as a start.
Just stick to the beat
and any particular dynamics that are BEING UTILIZED FOR THAT
PARTICULAR SONG because the Beat is the Remedy.
Keep in mind, this is rock and roll, not dinner party Kumbaya or strummy strum for Ukelele. Archiving good songs, not trying to be classic rock. Kick it with a raw dance beat. 75 years of songs to choose from, most are underappreciated because SO MUCH music was coming out and we missed it and today classic rock has become hackneyed and a handful of songs are overplayed.

The worst thing about starting a band is
everyone brings bits and pieces of songs they know, among other compatibility
issues. Therefore, I’ve been a guitar hobbyist for 40 years. Satisfied playing
stuff out of my music books. Songs too difficult to play and memorize, but fun
to learn.
However, I’ve spent the
last 5/6 years finding simpler songs to play. The Arthuritis has taken its toll
as it has for many others. Just can't play those 13th chords anymore, and I
make too many mistakes and can’t play fast enough to be a professional and,
worst of all, I’m fussy about what I want to play. EVERYONE
INSISTS I HAVE TO PLAY WHAT PEOPLE WANT TO HEAR. No thank you.
Probably many would like
to have a community combo that they can participate in when they want
to. This is what this is. Tightly managed to avoid the inevitable
disagreements, but freedom to come and go as you want. The BEATRX MUSICAL
SYSTEM allows for maximum musical expression amongst a community and
freedom for musicians. A community's songs.
HERE I
POST AS MUCH OF THE LYRICS THAT I NEED TO HELP MY MEMORY
1 Tabacco Road by the Nashville
Teens. Loudermilk created the
song and David Lee Roth has the best metal cover
Nashville groove
About life in Durhan NC when it was Tabacco Town.
This song can be greatly
expanded with solo verses.
I was
born in a trunk Mama died and my daddy got drunk left me
here to die alone
Let me hear two dying crows 2 grew up in 3 gonna
leave, get a job 4 Bring dynamite and a crane
2 DRINKIN’
GASOLINE 123
1 Well I'm driving down the road in my Cadillac Travelling lies
me b, no road turning black Drinking gasoline is a whole lotta do Drinking
gasoline to get over you
We were doing swell but it sure went from heaven
to hell
2 Well I met you in the
desert at Sabriskey point. out of gasoline oil really
filled my tank you quite tuned me up drinkin gasoline outta your silver cup
3 Well I drove ten thousand miles
away from home
See no trap in jail, but ain't no
desert storm drinkin silver
cup all I do drinkin' silver baby me and you
(solo)4 Engine started smoking and
wings on fire
Big wheels started shaking and I lost a tyre my baby
she exploded drinkin gasoline
repeat 1
3 F ROCKABILLY HALL OF FAME B side Band. The Rockabilly Hall of Fame has yet to embrace this song. Rockabilly Hall of Fame is such a
fun song, but the actual Rockabilly Hall of Fame in Memphis kept deleting it
when I posted it on their facebook page. Plus, I think the RHOF may also be
racists with their exclusion of black people. Bo Diddley and Chuck Berry are
just two prominent examples of rockabilly rockers.
I give it a more
danceable beat 4/4 130
1) We found ourselves
this cool address, In
Nashville….Tennesee no less, that night at the RHOF
Won't believe the folks we saw the moment we walked through that

rhythm grooves, eddie Cochran didn’t stop
2) Posters hung op on the wall. Perkins Vincent …had a ball

fret Robert gordon was red hot.stray cats played those rhythm grooves,
Link wrays ROCKIN didn’t stop and tiny riff should have solos gENE.... Dick
Dales Cordell Jacksons rockin didn’t
stop
3 Marty Robbins made us dance elvis held us
in a trance that night at the
RHOF Wont

RHOF(3X)riff ending
4 BORN TO BE BUSHY 128
out of my range so I have to go down an octave
Im just a hairy boy,
born deep in the hills daddy ran shine mama cooked what she killed
he drank every day till
the jar ran dry she patched up his coat with a look in her eye aint
had no schoolin no man to guide, so I taught myself how to live outside
I built me a lean to
with bark and rope caught fish with my hands and cooked em on oak
learned to boil water when my gut went bad n sleep close to fire
when the night turned mad
I started to notice when
the squirrels got still that somethin’ was
movin beyond the hill
Solo verse solo verse
Sharpen the stone till
it cut just right hung up a snare where the trail
looked tight ah Aint no ghost, just don’t wanna be found Got
a pine cone pillow and a deer hide gown
I leave no tracks and I
speak real low That’s how you last when you’re livin slow
Born to be bushy, I live
off the land cut my own wood and work with my own hands Aint
hidin’ from you I just don’t belong in a world too loud and movin’ too
wrong
5 Jenny Are You
Gay?
130 syncs nice
Recalling the fifties,
this song was originally “Johnny Are You Gay” but it was gender fluid enough to
work when I switched the gender from Johnny to Jenny. This song is
about young people getting married to get out of their childhood homes. “My
ma is a naggy parent, Jenny, won’t you set me free?”
1 Jenny, are you gay? You're so
good looking But something's in the
way When I look in your eyes Oh, Jenny you mean so
much to me I've waited so long for you to set me free And so I ask myself each
day
2 Jenny, are you gay? You've got a real cool
shirt, yeah It's tight black satin Not like the other girls, now
They all wear plaid and corduroy I really
like your style i wanna be your boy So I ask myself each
day, Jenny, are you gay?
(Bm)Shopping malls and station wagons Ain't a lot
for a guy like me
My ma was a naggy parent,So Jenny, won't you set
me
free
Take a look into my eyes, there's lots of love for you
Tell me now, is it wrong To want to get more from you?
3 Jenny, are you gay?
I didn't see you at the ballgame I heard you gone
shopping
Just you and Chesty Morgan All I want is to be close to
you
C'mon, give it a try, I know you'll like it too And so
I ask myself each day...

Fiddle Bango Harp
Beatbox xylophone or whatever. It’s about creating a community band.
Making lots of space for different people to solo.
This is what I'm
talking about.
What I do here is take songs that are fundamentally good but, maybe had
an insipid, uninspired beat back in the day, and I try to liven it up.
Relatively simple chord structures making them easier to remember for
musicians. On the other hand. not looking for the same old, same old comfort
zone of "five songs to learn for parties. "people dependent on
a capo. or playing the overplayed corny folkie stuff. I don't think I want to
be in a band that is capo-dependent. I’d rather know three different ways to
play C#m7 than figure out where to put my capo to play an Am.
Connecting in a simple way with people and creating a better grade of performance because of the eschewing (to spit out in disgust) of overplayed pop music. We need to get live music out to more places than just beer drinking activities and bars. This is a rich new field to plow and we need to think of it as making music instead of a "performance" where you have to entertain. Playing where people gather. Plenty of people out there practicing their instrument or improving their voice that would want to give it a try. Here's my effort, all are welcome. People standing up and joining the band. But in an organized way, people know when their song is coming and we don't take requests.
All percussion is
welcome but please, remember the beat is the remedy. A strong beat not la la la
strummy strum. You got a song to suggest? First ask yourself ‘have I already
heard this 10,000 times on the radio?’ Then, “can I teach others to play it.”
Looking for originality, not applause.
We got a big beat and we
appeal to all sides. If we can agree on music, we can agree on other things.
You see what I mean? There ARE good people on both sides. Think of us
also as Song Archivists and I think there is a huge demographic out there looking
for something original and refreshing to listen to, not hackneyed and
overplayed like classic rock.

Also, the songs stay in the order I have listed for a concept that needs
to be tested. Instead of randomly jumping around to different keys, the songs
progress in an ascending order of keys. Starting in Em then to E then the key
of F then G. People will take a look at the song list and can see a
song to try to sing or solo on, where BEATRX is playing live. And also,
people can tell where they are on the list. “3 more songs and I’m singing “Call
Me the Breeze. Key of A”
The Beatles used many
influences from around the world, but at their core, they were Rockabilly. The
Beatles didn’t do too many covers, but more than half of them were rockabilly
songs. “Honey Don’t” “Roll Over Beetoven” et al. Second generation rockabilly.
They yearned to jam with Carl Perkins not Sophie Tucker.
People with costume fetishes and gimmicks have had their day. This is a
prototype musical configuration that can be used anywhere in the world to bring
communities back together through music. Music is what many feel is the best
healer. Music, not entertainment. People will have had enough of streaming and
AI music, so the need for live music will increase and I think it will be like
this. Community bands playing at non profit events etc.

191 BLUE BOAT HOME by Peter Mayer*
Drone
on the E note I had to switch out my first song. I wanted to start out with Blue Boat
Home. A Unitarian Universalists theme song. They don't discriminate any faith,
and this song is easily embraced by spiritual seekers. But the 6/8 beat still
needs practice and I can't seem to memorize enough of the lyrics. So I made
Drinkin' Gasoline as the first song so I don't stumble out of the gate.
I did want to introduce this idea at the UU Church first. A
community band? If there is a Ukelele Club, surely there can be a Rockabilly
Club so people can rock and roll. SO that is honestly my intention. I want to
try it at church first and we could make Blue Boat Home the opening number with
a little luck. And remember. we would be making music, not preparing for a
performance, yet also not unorganized jam sessions. I was thinking the last
Wednesday of the month at 2:30 and we need to be gone by 4:00. I try to have my
short weeks work done by then.
6/8 TIME BRO
Though below me, I feel no
motion Standing on these mountains and plains
Far away from the rolling ocean Still my dry land heart can say
I’ve been sailing all my life now Never harbor or port have I known
The wide universe is the ocean I travel And the Earth is my blue boat home
Sun my sail and moon my
rudder As I ply the starry sea,
Leaning over the edge in wonder,
Casting questions into the deep.
Drifting here with my ship’s companions,
All we kindred pilgrim souls,
Making our way by the lights of the heavens
In our beautiful blue boat home
I give thanks to the waves
upholding me
Hail the great winds urging me on,
Greet the infinite sea before me,
Sing the sky my sailor’s song:
I was born upon the fathoms,
Never harbor or port have I known.
The wide universe is the ocean I travel,
And the Earth is my blue boat home

Amber called her uncle,
said "We're up here for the holiday,
G C Am D D
Jane and I were having
Solstice, now we need a place to stay."
G C Am D
And her Christ-loving
uncle watched his wife hang Mary on a tree,

He watched his son hang
candy canes all made with red dye number three.
G C Am D
He told his niece,
"It's Christmas Eve, I know our life is not your style,"
G C Am D D
She said,
"Christmas is like Solstice, and we miss you and it's been awhile,"
G C Am D
So the Christians and
the Pagans sat together at the table,

Finding faith and common
ground the best that they were able,

And just before the meal
was served, hands were held and prayers were said,

Sending hope for peace
on earth to all their gods and goddesses.

The food was great, the
tree plugged in, the meal had gone without a hitch,

Till Timmy turned to
Amber and said, "Is it true that you're a witch?"
G C Am D
His mom jumped up and
said, "The pies are burning," and she hit the kitchen,

The IconOclastics. BeatRX. BEATRX
Everyone in bands these days has "personality" and
silly costumes and images to uphold and a “brand” to sell. I want to create,
not perform, to play not but alas, after 40 years of hobby guitar I want to
create an alternative to the same old shit. A performance vehicle for
introverts, a community of artists. Songs are our vocal heritage. Beatrx
featuring Iconoclastics. Iconoclastics.
THE BEATRX MUSICAL SYSTEM.
Fiddle Bango Harp Beatbox xylophone or whatever. It’s about creating a
community band. Or orchestra. This is what I'm talking about. It's
a community thing too, connecting in a simple way with people and creating a
better grade of performance because of the eschewing (to spit out in
disgust) of overplayed pop music, a rich new field to plow. All
the breakup and falling in love pop HITS seems to have caused the plague of
infidelity in this nation. That's what I got so far.
-7-2- US 250
The final
blossoming of the Constitution. The founding revolutionaries could not free
everybody all at once, but left a structure in place that could.
US250 takes aim at
the coercive elements in society, with lessons on how to create a Free America,
and then inspiring a free world.
A workshop
to plan for the next 250.
2026 is
Americas 250th birthday. Take the year to educate all Americans
and celebrate a future without fascism. We have to make a stronger foundation
to block tyranny.
Common sense,
thinking people can own the year. Independents Greens and Progressives will be
running for office and winning.
The first step IS
removing as many harmful elements in our political system. Hate is no longer on
the menu. Many well-spoken veterans are running and will be winning. Military
contractors made off with all the spoils of war, while veterans are forgotten.
We need all that war money here in the United States.
Time to Invalidate
injustice. The Epstein class is a target rich environment.
COVENANT
OF THE 99.
99 things we can
agree on, moving forward. All of us, on both sides. What Liberals don't
get is that Trumpers are animal lovers and environmentalists. That's how we keep the Lemmings from going over the cliff. You never know. Common sense just might work.
They had no real
choice, most went with t***p because he seemed different, but he's as deep
state as the rest of the greedy groups of grandiose thieves that have been
stealing from the middle class these last 70 years.
Greens
Progressives and INDEPENDENTS need to work together to build a new coalition this year. The Common
Sense Coalition, and in 2027, the common sense caucus in congress.
Lastly, a hat tip to Thomas Paine who famously influenced the
American Revolution with his small book, "Common Sense". We need to
reach the undecided with facts and truth.
Most workers pay lip service to the
loudmouth MAGA’s at their workplace, and there are more independent thinkers at
your worksite than anyone realizes, most keep their opinions to themselves, and
aren't into any extreme agenda. Now with this constitutional crisis, people
seemed primed to finally tax the rich: otherwise known as the illegitimately
rich.
250 years old in 2026. We can reclaim The United States for Independent, working class Americans. (That’s you, buh.) We can reject the Project 2025 that imagines the neighborhood seanhannity on the corner of your street. He’s got his A-15 loaded and he's checking ID’s as you leave or enter. “Waitin’ on them robot dogs” to arrive, to help him keep people under observation. This isn't what we want.
This is the last stand for the Constitution as intended by our
Founding Revolutionaries. The Nazi's are at the gate.
COVENANT OF THE 99
I'm in the process of rearranging this list with Gettysburg
on its way. Been slowly working on it the last three years and now an alarming
idiocy has taken hold. The social media battle for Americas momentum is on, and
it's very likely the GOP will be so roundly defeated they will just go home and
wait for General Sherman. Then we are left with lame ass Democrats and a
Democratic leadership that is still doing back room deals. The Berniecrats know
what I'm talking about. Pete got his job as a favor for dropping out. So did Kamala.
People are coming up with many suggestions on how we can recapture raw and wild America and start over. Easy the working class wins and we make a real economy that investigates big business and liberate small business.
Something for the next 250 years.
These
are some suggestions for structural change and perspectives to motivate us to
do what we know needs to be done. The pendulum has swung as far right as it's
going to.
99 things we can discuss and agree on.

28 EXECUTIVE ORDER.
Limit how much lawyers can charge for government work. $100/hr. Lawyer fees
suck up many city county and state budgets. Federal law has to over ridden. I
like this ide a lot. Agreat way to reduce government costs.
We need government to be fixed and lawyers have created a law-
debilitated nightmare of regulation that favors people that give them money or
do favors. (get their kid in college)
29 ban clear
cutting educate about woodlot management. Tariffs on plastic.
30 investigate the rich in DC especially those on the
Epstein list and Panama Papers. Break up the corporate lobbyists. Riot on K
Street.
31 The
Dawn of Civilization. Life has to be more than vanquishing enemies. They
won’t be real victories till we can encode liberty, embed equality,
ostracize criminality , humble the mighty, invalidate injustice and vanquish
cruelty in all the countries in the world. Let’s give ourselves the chance
for a new start, with the rejection of violence and war, and we will usher in,
at long last, The Dawn of Civilization. All of us together in every country:
Out of many, one; Unity without hierarchy. We are ready.

TV, we got the truth

We got hella

They got the bombs

NO WAR BUT CLASS
WAR
Peter Thiel Elon
Musk and other lesser known Techbros. giving bros a bad name. Broholes might be
more relevant. Bill Gates needs to go try and buy farmland in China. See what
they say about your robots feeding the world nonsense.
Tax foreigners at
a higher rate. Doctors from India are very talented but there are many poor
Americans who would be even better doctors than them, but cannot afford the
education. so, see. We are shorting out citizens here while foreigners get all
the infrastructure, organization, culture, freedom, at no extra cost to them.
In a sense they are getting a subsidized education. I'm suggesting a 25% tax on
college admissions of non-Americans and those in the 10% upper bracket.
I GOT YOUR AMERICA
FIRST RIGHT HERE. no war but class war. we want to lift Americans out of
poverty. Countries like India need to work for the good of all and not send
their best and brightest elsewhere. Not Indian people of course. Worked for a
dude who quit Big Tech to dabble in real estate. His whole family was so kind
and gracious and traditional and why we need to have constant immigration from
around the world. Good people and a variety of cultures will spark up a new
America for the next 250 years. But most visas need to end. Our motel is full.
We have enough homeless junkies.
I'm saying, given
the chance, most people in the world would be better neighbors than some of the
ones we have now, but in my lifetime we've gone from 160 million to 350 million
people. That's crazy. Amnesty not travesty. But enough already.

NOMOREWAR
Conference center
a place for all
the good people to share. people in other countries would agree. Europe had to
be rebuilt after WW2 and the Korea and Japan and Vietnam. And the middle east.
FFS. Bombed to rubble again.
enough already, we
gonna start a ban the bomb movement to end all ban the bomb movements in every
country. It starts with the NOMOREWAR Conference Center. Canada would allow it.
33
Dems election
reform. Difficult for third parties to get on the ballot.
34
The homeless and
poor are mischaracterized as lazy. Try being homeless and lazy, it takes a lot
of work to survive every single day and why $500 could help so much.

37 executive order. golden ballroom turned into the heavy metal
hall of fame.
38 THE COMMONS
how did investors
buy all the spare land? No town should be able to incorporate unless it's saved
significant wildlife. Wild lands for wild nature and a roof for everyone.
39
PROFILE THE RICH
like police in a
sundown town profiling darkies.
assume they are up
to nefarious doings. No longer a suspicion but proof in the files papers photos
and videos.
profile large
government contracts. Honest top to bottom. Tell me how many are getting the
biggest contracts and are they mostly the white nationalists who have been
buying land all across the country. Top 10% owners of total property valuation
get a tiny 1% tax as mentioned. 2% if you piss off the Common Sense Caucus.

illegal for doctors and lawyers. What a cruel way to weed out the poor.
44
ATHEISM
DOUCHEBAG APOCALYPSE*
The separation of
church and state says to me that you can believe what you want at home, but do
not insult my sense of logic with this nonsense in the workplace, or in social
situations. I don’t think people are realizing the rapid rise in atheism this century
is due to children being more logical, and a rising sentiment that Christianity
probably has nothing to do with Christ anymore. They find the concept of god
implausible and prefer to have their own thoughts. Atheists have to stand
boldly alone in many situations because the Christians know they can form a mob
with a calculated scare tactic at a moment’s notice. They’d step over their own
mother to smite an atheist. You can’t have people doubting the existence of
god. It’s everybodys security blanket.
45
ARCTIC WORLD

Part 2 continues with a little more detail and part 3 has the long-winded
details
1 JUDGEMENT
DAY FOR CORPORATIONS. Nullify the cartoonish notion that corporations are
people. Citizens united against citizens united. Time for civic action
to turn that over. " Consent of the governed".
Better look
that up.... and don't come back. 'n tell yer friends they ain't wanted here
neither"
Nature is
not there for them to own. Empathy for people and preserving forests IS
COMMON SENSE, not communism. Time for them to pay for the infrastructure
they've worn down and the millions of small businesses and farms that went out
of business in the eastern part of the country. This is why farms get a $60,000
deduction in the FTI plan.
We are going to build an infrastructure for all the small farms on this
planet, and the illegitimately rich are going to pay for it. (see taking back the commons)
It’s called pulling their charter. FAFO
2 28th AMENDMENT
“ If the national debt exceeds the yearly national budget, a10% tax on
total assets of the wealthiest 10% OF TAXPAYERS will be assessed. Herewith and
most assuredly this will include the value of all stocks, gold, money. A
10% LUXURY TAX TILL THE NATIONAL DEBT IS LESS THAN THE YEARLY BUDGET! The goal
is to reduce the national debt to 7 Trillion dollars by taxing the rich. Make
it simple get the signatures fast and begin taxing by the end of the year.
You don’t overtax yearly income. You tax accumulated wealth.
The illegitimate wealth that has trickled up during the Reagan Era of
Greed. 1984-2024 Duh. The people who created the system to make
billionaires.
Billions and billions and billions. You’re supposed to tax the
people who gamed the system the last 50 years, you ninnies. Techholes and their
lobbyists have been outsmarting the IRS so far. Looks like they
outmaneuvered the christo-fascists too.
We work more productively than ever before, yet they run the world
without our input. We object strongly to the changes wrought to small business
in the United States and we have the fixes.
Our solutions won't come from the boardrooms but in the garages and
she sheds of the United States.
Giant corporations are not the job
creators, they have been the job destroyers and community oriented
economies biggest foe.
Fifty million farms and small, locally important
businesses have been wiped out since WW2.
For what? For the monopolies of the 20 biggest
corporations that are now fixin’ to own everything. They all own each other
already. Making us dependent on them for food and fuel. We been played.
Here’s a quickie 28th amendment
suggestion to get America off to a brand new start. “ If the national debt
exceeds the budget, a10% tax on total assets of the wealthiest 10% OF TAXPAYERS
which will include value of all stocks, gold, money. A 10% LUXURY TAX TILL
THE NATIONAL DEBT IS LESS THAN THE YEARLY BUDGET!
We need 38 states to ratify this? Let’s go! Who but
the obscenely wealthy would object? Everyone else would jump on the bandwagon
because everyone’s else's tax burden can be reduced. Right? Why tax 100 million
people when it would be so much easier to tax a million of the most
illegititmatly wealthy people and corporations.
To Libertarians worldwide. Wouldn't
it be easier to tax 10 billionaires than 100 millionaires? When this
becomes apparent there will be a tide shift. Just need the momentum to get it
going.
THE 28TH AMENDMENT
WORDING
“When
the federal deficit exceeds the yearly budget, the wealthiest 10% of the
population will pay a 10% luxury tax till the deficit is less than the yearly
budget." I like it more every time I hear it.
3 First two agreements try to work
at the mega structure and the slow changes that need to start now.
38 trillion in debt and people are struggling? We're not getting it.
So many are suffering today and how can we all help? Nearly everyone I've
worked with was struggling financially.
Agreement 3 has to be about everyone having water, food and shelter
from the storm. #3 is a UBI that starts at $500. Some say don't do it
and some say 500 is not enough. So we start with that.
Nearly everyone in my working life would have greatly
benefitted from this "inadequate" amount. It would be like $100 in
1968 dollars, which was alot for middle class people back then. Two weeks pay
for dental work would wipe me out frequently. in my twenties.
Everyone working as long and hard as they could, to keep
up. Every job I had we'd share the stories of our struggles.
The middle class has shrunk
dramatically. From 60% to 30% during the Reagan Era of Greed. 1984 to 2024.
With all the gains in
productivity we should have had a 35 or 36 hour workweek by now. We
were promised that at the dawn of the computer age. "no one will
have to work ... robots and tech will do everything" well ...
baloney! Now in 2026, there's the AI Lie. Stop eating their lies, it's gross.
We don't want the Jetsons push button
everything and one job should be enough for us to survive. No one is ever
home.
But the money, the land, the precious metals, the big buildings and 3
story yachts all trickled up, and you enabled it.
Now you have to fix it. Starting with a UBI for those of us not in the
white collar parasite class.
$500 for anyone who signs up with the Flat Tax Initiative FTI
[ see 6 ].
4 Elder care, Child care ... is so expensive for struggling families but the issue has to be dealt
with. People dealing with Alzheimerd parents or a lifetime injury would be
greatly thankful for this help of $500 as a start. Many wonderful people
out there who are helping a relative, friend or co-worker out in some way.
People give, I saw it all the time. People trying to keep a job and care for
people who really need their help.
Help people to tie a knot and hold
on.
Care givers sometimes have to give
up their jobs and there can be a great deal of chaos as a relation or friend
has memory incidents and needs to be watched.
Tens of millions would benefit. My experience
is that people with no money are more likely to be openly caring and
empathetic. So many stories of the poorest sibling taking care of their
declining parents here in Florida. Really, so many. The caring sibling moves to
Florida and spends a lot of time with their parents and the greedy ones up
north swoop in when the parents die. Grab the loot see you later
alligator.
Our sweat blood and taxes built this American
super structure that only benefitted predatory, hyper-capitalism.
Destroying thousands of small town economies.
I look at the list of billionaire hoarders
and feel sickened. Use it or lose it. Tax the rich. They don't
understand why we don't. Our congressional representatives should make sure
every American is safe, fed and has a roof over their head.
All I’ve seen my entire life are hardworking people
that are underpaid. The profits all went into shareholders pockets
or made local people millionaires like the owners of Rock City and
Hirams.
Greedy bastards demanding loyalty and
speed and friendliness for minimum wage. Now they are multi-millionaires and
while hundreds of former employees say "never again."
Many of the homeless would at least
find some, or more decent lodging, even with this (considered small) UBI.
Caretakers can find some relief as they try to keep their charges alive. The
very young and the very old have become vulnerable in this "modern"
tech infested world we are being forced into. Today in 2026 and we see the
horror of a global child trafficking ring. There are slaves. Human rights are
in the toilet. What happened to all of us?
How about we tax churches to subsidize the child care industry and
elder care since they haven't stepped up as they should have?
They could already be doing it, but most of them are busy grifting
and embezzling instead.
5 BAN CLEAR CUTTING.
Encourage Canada to do the same. Regenerate timber and paper in small
business configurations. Place a tariff on plastic not each other. On products,
duh, not countries! Don’t cut down ANY more old trees. Tax plastic such as PVC
. A future microplastics disaster.
Begin the process to make paper and wood recycling viable by putting
a tariff on plastic, making many future jobs possible in the US and waste
reduction much more possible. HOW MANY MICROPLASTICS DO YOU NEED in the cells
of your body?
We have to clean up NOW, so future generations won’t be full of plastic
nits in their naughty bits.
Clear cutting forests for easy profits has left us with destroyed forest
ecosystems. We need these forests and we should make more National Parks, not
close or sell the ones we have. Then there's the ...
snaky jackbags trying to sell national parks for income, when we could
soeasily tax the rich.
Recycling all wood and paper would
create so many jobs and slow down the earth defiling plastic chemicals and
micro bits seeping into everything. If I had my way I'd pull out all the
irrigation PVC before our entire soil profile is forever steeped in degraded
PVC. What a nightmare 50 years from now as PVC pipes begins degrading faster
and long forgotten ones will steadily break down for 200 more years. Plastic
doesn't break down. every molecule remains.
Defining clear cutting as lumbering
more than three trees per acre. See woodlot management elsewhere. "Tree
farms" would be excluded since they are planted crops. What about places
that manage Pine Trees, let's say, by cutting "mature" trees and
letting all the seedlings between them grow up to be future trees to be
harvested? It creates lumber but not habitat but doesn't take much work.
At least let's talk about our trees
and not the Gulf of Mexico.
2026: we bring a whole new message from the empathetic and intelligent
people of the USA.
6 FLAT
TAX INITIATIVE (FTI)
$500/mo UBI for anyone signing up for the flat tax initiative.
CITIZENS ONLY. Make it clear to the maga dinglebags that no
non-citizen gets any. Bad enough they're using up our resources for free. $500
UBI will be the bootstraps many need right now.
Sign up with your social security number. GET a UBI number. Why not? Big
Brother is in your phone. Even if you no longer work, you can sign up for the
500/month if you feel you need it. With DOGE accessing all our info, we are
obligated to build a new system with the FTI as the base. Also critical is the
10% luxury tax mandated by the 28th amendment to reduce our deficit.
When you join the FTI you get access to a nationwide job bank. A job bank
that makes it easy to list and remove jobs. List a job and it's automatically
deleted after a week let's say. So you post your job openings once a week. This
is one way the people get control of AI. We decide how it will be used.
I want to address the callous nature of many brain-harmed individuals who
think people should just "get a job" or "go to night
school," is actually saying they know nothing about most of the lives out
there in working America.
A job service that easily locates nearby employment and volunteering opportunities.
We're going to make it a national effort to give the time to activities if you
have it with the good socially minded organizations or help set up a Community
Exchange.
Everyone pays a ten percent flat tax and there is only one exemption. The
first $20,000 of income is tax exempt. BUT ITS THE ONLY EXEMPTION. NONE FOR
CHILDREN and none for the 6 million tax exemptions in the 4000 page IRS tax
code created by our lawyer lobbyist legislators.
Think of how much simpler a flat tax would be to administer. People got
multiple ways of making money, just lump all your sales together and pay a 10%
flat tax. When you sign up for the FTI -flat tax initiative. PROGRAM.
Me ... I make about 700 a month aside from an inadequate social security.
That's despite 20 years of overtime in the 80's and 90's where a lot of tax got
taken out. $500 more a month for me, would mean living without scarcity.
Giving up all other forms of government assistance such as food stamps
with the $500 UBI. So therefore, we start slimming down the welfare system and
the maddening hurdles poor people have to leap with all the rules and household
income bullshit we all know about.
Thanks Uncle Sammy but we can best figure out ourselves what we need to
do. Cash is great. We need some bootstraps. Even a modest UBI would relieve so
much misery.
500 without scrutiny. Citizens only. How do we pay for it? A national
property tax for the most valuable 10% of properties. Just 1%. Piss us off
2%.
This slowly streamlines government. You get UBI, but other federal
benefits end except like section 8 and other housing subsidies. We'll get a
roof over everyones head in other ways. It's a fucking
mess. A coral colony of paper.
Just give them cash without scrutiny. Anyone who signs up for the Flat
Tax Initiative. It's income. $6,000 but with a 20 thousand dollar deduction. No
taxation yet.
Most people, probably 75 million in the US, would greatly benefit from
this hassle free benefit.
Finally, $500 for helping the homeless and those living
in their cars. You don't need an address, just a bank account. Proof of
citizenship. It could enable the homeless in LA to move on and get something
started. People don't get how difficult being homeless is.
This is the beginning of the end of homelessness. This vile and evil
administration has been rumored to be tossing homeless people into the ocean.
The blessings of liberty
have been stolen and hoarded in offshore accounts.
There is only one exemption. $20,000. This is finally giving a real
helping hand to the working poor. I think this entire program would wipe out a
lot of fraud with the myriad coral colony of agencies. Over time, most would be
subject to the flat tax. (see below details)
FLAT TAX INITIATIVE
10% for income between $20,000 and $200,000
20% for income between $200,000 and $9,999,999
And 30% flat tax for all income over $10,000,000. Remember. One
exemption. No 4000-page tax code here. As time goes on Progressives will
be eliminating subsidies in the tax code.
The business exemption would be $40,000 to presumably pay for supplies
and that and consider a farm exemption of $60,000. Do we want to eat local or
not? #taxchurchesnotfarmers
In 2026, the people who will get elected to Congress, will do the
research and will show how to eliminate tax write offs in the current Internal
Revenue code. A sincere effort, not the traitorous spying done by DOGE.
In fact this FTI and UBI can be made DOGE proof so foreign entities can't
hack us. This is where people oversee the process.
You're still putting into social security and Medicare in your job, but
no tax is being taken out! Pay the tax next year.
The lobbyists have completely taken over our representatives. Think of
the 3 martini lunch that the rich write off on THEIR taxes as an example, while
you're out there trying to finish the roof before the rain comes.
Your flat tax is payable anytime before the end of the next year.
Social Security is worked out elsewhere here.
SOCIAL SECURITY WOULDN'T COUNT AS INCOME BUT UBI WOULD.
SMALL BUSINESS INCOME?
$40,000 exemption
if you sign up with the FTI Business Plan
10% flat tax for income up to $200,000
20% flat tax for income between $200,000 and ten million.
30% for income or sales over ten million. With only the one small
business exemption of $40,000. Remember we are giving the ax to
unfair compensation and tax breaks for the wealthy at the same time. Breaking up the monopolies
and imposing a luxury tax to reduce the deficit. 30% will be enough. With the
accelerated wage concept discussed elsewhere, billion-dollar companies will also be
paying the highest wages.
This deduction finally helps small businesses to start up.
Maybe tax the churches and don't tax the FARMERS! Maybe farmers can
have a third designation that gets you a 60,000 dollar exemption.
#taxchurchesnotfarners
Finally small business gets a break and we get the opportunity to launch
millions of small businesses to recreate communities that the corporate
stranglehole has destroyed.
Slashing loopholes in the tax code eventually gets many to join the FTI
as tax write offs are slashed.
7 Cap Then Reduce
military budget 5% a year. Should be easy at first. Like shooting fish In a barrel. Have the
military explain the pensions that will be going out for the next 50 years. How
much will be needed to pay for this pro-military junket? Our biggest national
net loss of real value is our military. So many nazy initiatives run our
foreign policy. Pentagon can't find where thir budget goes. Trillions
unaccounted for. I would think we could change that.
Close 200 military bases in Japan and Germany and
50 more elsewhere. Tell me why not? Put an end to that type of wasteful
spending. 2026 update. Before they're bombed into uselessness.
Sell 20 ambassador palaces and then create 1000 animal
rescue shelters here in America. Do it directing showing how funds are diverted
and jobs created here in the United States.
Reducing the military budget will enable us to bring
the jobs home and too bad for all those foreign cities that depend on drunken
American sailors keeping their economies afloat.
The working class needs to oversee
the federal budget to start cutting out the waste. #US250 aims to eliminate the
corporate nanny state, and sleazy corporations will #getthespotlight. Since the
GOP seems fine with starving people and making the desperate give up hope, we
should have no hesitation pulling a companies charter and putting them out of
business if they've been influencing governments.
Zuck and FB owe us a book on our activity. Free for
everyone. Executive order. It's our content that made him rich. A book for all
our time on facebook. All of it.
8 CAP THE FEDERAL BUDGET. TILL INFINITY. THATS ALL YOU GET. 7
TRILLION.
9 keep it ethical. Be fair to everyone, Don’t leave shit around.
Dont be an asshole. To anyone.
We want to be trusted, so you have to be honest in every dealing you
have. Americans are portrayed as loudmouth hucksters. Cabinet member calling us
uneducated and unfit for modern jobs. Fuck you. You know that ain’t right. We
don't all want to be tech bros. Tech holes. Bro Holes. Capitalism is circling
the drain. All the good things have been taken.
Being ethical is not about blocking roads, burning cars and threatening
people. It's about being clever instead. We only need the first amendment to
achieve what is necessary, not the second. And don't forget the ninth. anything
not defined in the constitution is ours.
Fix that shitty behavior. Nobody needs it and a true revolution does not
need it either.
10 RURAL HUBS. We pick 250 sites to
symbolize the next 250 years of the United States. We'd be looking for once
thriving areas fallen into disrepair. Keep the local character. At least 10
miles from an interstate. Each site would have ten employees, not a skeleton
crew. People interacting again, not just trashy tech everything. Spaces for
sleeping in the car. Darker with walking security not just cameras. Areas for
food trucks. We're bringing back commerce in these 250 sites.
They
can be used by highway crews as bridges get repaired across the United States.
I've also got an idea to propose about cleaning up properties and roadsides. We
bring all the abandoned old cars there. Car Part experts salvage parts from
rare vehicles no longer drivable. Save bodies of rare or beautiful design. Tech
bros trying to eliminate our past by making old cars irrelevant. I think we
need to save a s much as possible. The US designed many gems that are rusting
away. That old Desoto. gets hauled off to a rural hub. Good parts
stripped A national effort of clean up and avid recycling.
Getting as much plastic as possible in landfills before it fades into the soil.
Roadsides in one part of Georgia had washing machines and hoses and pipes
and chairs and tires on the side of the road in ravines. Roadside trash to pick
up. Washing machines 'n shit need to be recycled.
These
rural hubs start off as work sites. Should try to find run down areas that can
be salvaged or waste areas that can be redone with native plants. Chip drops
there also. We work together. Keep it honest, everybody gets paid well. Roach
Coach Food trucks should be becoming more popular.
Small
home villages can be built post offices and voting booths can be in
the rural hub. A community center instead of the interstate bare minimum
bathrooms and billion dollar corporations selling their food-like products. At
the rural hub you can set up for free. Put a sign on your car. "Mangoes
$5." In the designated area. I'm imagining these hubs to be 500 acres with
an effort to purchase 500 acres of nearby habitat that can be preserved
forever. Trail cams can be set up in the lobby and people squeal when an animal
comes into view. Education about the local ecosystem. I'm seeing long benches.
even a graffiti wall with a 6 sq. ft. limit of expression.
We
respect each other. Accessible for these E-bikes that are finally all the rage.
Where people are sleeping in their cars we respect their privacy and keep the
noise down. When you're eating on the property, you clean up. Workers
respecting workers.
Of
course EV recharging areas. They can be sponsored
"Jack's Maters and Tapers
'ten miles south on old route 100.' SO YOU SEE it's all off the
interstate and into areas abandoned by overdevelopment. There should be some
real good candidates along the old Route 66. In Frostproof Florida there seemed
to be lots of areas for a rural hub. Sparta North Carolina. Bremen
Georgia. We take a good look at the whole country. Caveat emptor and pass at
your own risk. Getting back to the old economy.

THE NEW SQUARE DEAL
a) New
Homestead Act without the corruption of the first one where railroads were
given stolen land. Ranchers ripped off poor farmers and took their homestead
land. Real estate developers bought claims of poor homesteaders for pennies on
the dollar. A bunch of crooked banksters instigated the corruption and lawyers
encoded it. Doing a land office business. It really is time to tax illegitimate
wealth and give poor people land.
b) Build small homes near rural hubs.
c) FORECLOSURE MORATORIUM speaks for itself. With a
non-profit banking system encased in the Post Office, and an ongoing
investigation into usurious loaning practices the last 30 years, foreclosures
can end for two years till it’s all sorted out.
tax churches not farmers
Fine
the banksters.
11 A NEW SQUARE DEAL
A NEW SQUARE DEAL. Not a New Green Deal. People won’t buy
that. Progressives, suburban and rural Leftists want to separate ourselves from
the city slicker virtue signalers that the right wing despises. The obsessive
single issue city slicker liberals. Douchebags and their douche knots.
They ruined
the Green party. Abortion, immigration and gay exuberance are not the hills I
want to die on.
The
workers revolution, stewardship of wild nature and fighting fascism can be our
three legged stool INSTEAD. We supported gay rights for 40 years, we're looking
for some reciprocal assistance. Come on guys. Remember, no world no drama. No
trees, no air.
The conservative three-legged
stool is christian nationalism, anti-communist paranoia, and an authoritarian
worship that could keep the rabble in line. So what we do is, consume the Green
party since they are on the ballot in 47 states. A third party to light a fire
under the ass of the languid liberals and ridiculous right wingers. The
Independent majority needs to be heard.
The Progressive Era 1894 to 1914 reformed a
lot of corruption and questionable business ethics. In the 1912 election all
three presidential candidates called themselves Progressives. Not Liberals or
Marxists that try to take the credit.
The Progressive Era irked the elite to no end. When was all this Oligarch
bashing going to end?
Importantly we need to show the right-wing
worker who has their back. Make them realize Not the bankers, or tech giants
but the Newly reformed Green Progressive Independent party.

MY SHORT BIO and non profit banking
AFFF
anarchist for fucking forever.
My short bio. 1974. I
was fetching my laundry and halfway there, I was stopped by a hooded stranger
in the Connecticut Packing Company parking lot on Blue Hills Avenue. The
Libertarian Party had just formed, primarily by anarchists.
Was this person a young
man or woman? I honestly couldn’t tell, and why would it matter? It’s what’s in
our heads and hearts that count, right? Right?
It was probably the most interesting conversation I
ever had, and we talked about many things. Bad leadership in government and
drudgery in the workplace along with the indoctrination of the school
system. “Authority is derived by the free consent of the people”, I
said quoting The Fundamental Orders. That person said, "anarchy is the
absence of coercion." That quote stuck with me since. I still have the
business card to prove the story.
And that means for all of us. US 250 is finally about all of us. As
citizens, voters, workers and children. 80% of us are just trying to get
by or get ahead. Never exchanging names, The Anarchy Exchange.
I voted for the
candidate they were advocating and have tried to avoid coercive elements in my
life since then.
Simple as that and the
meaning of life is this. Create abundance.
NON
PROFIT BANKING. the post Office
has AI run a prgram for one kind of loan.
$100.000 for 20 years
people payoff current usurious home loan
the houseless can get a loan and builders can
specialize in $100,000 homes. Places where land is cheaper. Lightly subsidized,
Federally approved housing plans 250 to choose from that can legally bypass
local inspections. There is a federal inspection at the end. Except for maybe
foundation and initial plumbing.
Cuts interest payment s to the bone.
13 CITIZEN LEGISLATORS AND VOTING REFORM
2026 #US250 the people who will win elections will be the
ones that propose cutting benefits to the rich in our tax code among other
revenue producing initiatives. Speak for those who have no voice such as those
living in their cars and animals trying to survive excessive development.
There were many good candidates out there running for
the US congress that were authentically going to work for the people in 2024 if
elected. Solid Progressives.
Working people coming up short in these races, but
finally, people are sincerely ready for the idea of citizen legislators.
2026 is going to be different with angry fired government workers running for
office. Pissed off veterans.
Democrats were not supportive. Call up the good ones
and tell them to join the Green Party. Get celebrities like Jesse Ventura and
Jon Stewart Chelsea Handler to join and encourage others. Loudly display how
the Dems and Pubs have unnecessary rules to hinder third parties. Loudly
illustrate how the two parties block opposition.
A third party with authentic working people. 20 in
Congress and 5 in the senate is the goal.
Jill Stein was never serious. This will be
serious.
Candidates will be independent without any
oppressive ideology and should reflect and represent their local areas.
14
SENIOR CARE
EVERYONE ON Social Security getting less than $2000 a
month. needs that boost of $500. All that overtime I did for two decades and I
still get less than a thousand. Broke my back to make my daily bread.
A big problem is Alzheimers. On one job we planted a
womans pots around the pool and she told us her husband was violently Alzy and
he’s been thrown out of 3 places already. She didn’t feel safe and this is a
person with lots of money. This problem is everywhere.
Good care is not easy to find and this is where all
lives matter. Even the rich get in binds that are difficult to survive and need
particular social services. You can't buy everything sometimes. How bout we tax
the
millionaire churches and fund facilities for senior
care? And child care… Hey wait a minute! Is that the common sense of
SOCIALISM.! Oh No.!
Closed shopping centers. My old grammar school became
low income housing for seniors.
The workers from 1945 to 2025 built this country. In
one way or another. Built the buildings, fed the workers. Laid out the phone
lines, built a gigantic interstate hiway system, painted the houses and manned
the gas stations. CNAs taking care of the elderly. We need to remember 80% of
existing buildings have been built since 1946.
THESE people NEED TO BE TAKEN CARE OF. All of us. How
did the investors get everything good? We were allowed to survive is the
billionaires view. You better know the people know this now. A million seniors
RIGHT NOW, contemplating living out of their car or RV. We need to get on this
now!
There should be facilities for anyone over 85 to go and
live for free. 95 year old people listening to the 110 MPH hurricane outside
wonder why society has forgotten them. That means care, that means training
which many people have. Americans DO get the training for all these new fangled
jobs. Don’t let the parasite class call us parasites. People selling
expensive machines to Medicare made fortunes with their overpriced goods.

GREEN PARTY PLATFORM ANALYSIS
What do we keep and what
do we discard?
5. Decentralization
Centralization of wealth and power
contributes to social and economic injustice, environmental destruction, and
militarization. We seek a restructuring of social, political and economic
institutions away from a system controlled by and mostly benefiting the
powerful few, to a democratic, less bureaucratic system. Decision-making
should, as much as possible, remain at the individual and local level, while
assuring that civil rights are protected for all.
This is about the best one. The Green
Party are the conservatives now. The actual freedom fighting conservatives.
Does the Green Party address the needs of workers? Or are the ten
key values just white collar virtue signaling issues?
Democrats becoming multi-millionaires with their shares
in weapon and jet manufacturers, as the 16 year Afghanistan and 13 year Iraqi
War dragged on.
The
runaway waste of the military was encouraged by Democrats who now
love guns more than butter. Limousine Liberals absolutely do not represent
the working class in any form anymore, and they have taken over the Democratic
National Committee.
City
slicker virtue signalers do not have a clue about the rural life many of us
value. And it’s not even the rural life in many ways. 25% are
Democrats and 25% of the voting population Republicans, this means independent
voters are now 50% of the voting age citizens. The maths are in your face. We
don't need another election where our choices are all lesser evils.
We have a viable third party already in place, but the Green Party is
like a fish flopping on the dock. The city slicker liberals, the virtue
signalers, and professional college students have neutralized the power this
strong third party could have.
These
people have languished in wealth and privilege and are completely out of touch
with the people that have done and who continue to do the actual work in our
country. Then there's the single-issue city people. They think their
causes are so important, but class war is what is now.
6 figure functionaries and college town professors dominate the ranks of
the Green Party, not the people who have built the infrastructure of our
country the last 80 years. Get what I'm saying Vern?
I'm
suggesting Independents knock aside these dinner party Liberals and make the
Green Party a Workers Party. No more divisive race issues, we're all workers.
Pride Fatigue is what you're feeling, so remember, we're all workers. First and
foremost.
Many
suburbs we grew up in started out as forest or farm towns. The cancerous growth
of development has dismayed the working people when everything gets developed.
The
Democrats have failed SPECTACULARLY to oppose the encroaching fascism and
absolute loony toons of the Proud Boi's, Oath keepers, 3%ers and Gravy Seals,
who I believe create a grave threat to our safety. Especially those 3%'ers.
People
have had enough of these
lawyer lobbyist legislators and the law debilitated paralysis
both of these parties created.
The high
speed clown car of crony capitalism has managed to marginalize the essential
workers, (remember them?) while filling the pockets of their white collar
friends and stockholder enablers.
They
continue to create an international death star type of military that is
completely larded up with corruption and waste from top to bottom. Is there
even time to investigate the full extent of it?
One
third of our legislators in congress are lawyers and as the least empathetic
demographic in this country, I feel it's time to 'clean out the barn' as Ross
Perot used to say. Where are the scientists, the engineers, the teachers;
asks Neal deGrasse Tyson, concerning our elected representatives?
My
intention is for Progressives to influence the Green Party platform committee
and challenge all candidates to get off the same old same old acquiescence to
the dinner party liberals. Spark up as big a debate as I can about the issues
that are being ignored. Child care and senior care.
Green
Party needs to embrace Progressives, Farmers, Truck Drivers. Then there are the
Independents. Many tens of millions of people unable to feel like part of
something.
The Democratic party chairman wants to dismantle the Greens. We can’t be
stuck with these two pork-lardered corrupt parties any longer.
Time to stand up and fight. I just read GOP frootloons have collapsed the
Libertarian Party. The only other viable third party. Maybe time to revive it
as the anarchist vision it originally was. At least get behind the Green Party
to light a fire under the ass to this clotted nothingness of the two big
lawyer/lobbyist parties in the United States.
Crime and greed are normalized and legal with the banking system and
stock manipulations.
With Progressives and Independents aboard we’ll be equal thirds.
Progressives register Green, instead of independent.
Green Party will have primaries in 2028. Please … not Jill Stein again.
Primaries will draw attention to the oligarchic leaning Dems and Pubs. One
party will have all the good candidates. Us. I'll back the candidates willing
to implement US250.
We can make a lot of noise without spending a lot of money.
Have a bunch of candidates running. Martha Stewart, Ice Cube, Jon
Stewart, Chris Hedges environmental activists all being supportive of
independents running. T***p victim, Vindmann, is
currently running for a seat.
If there is a rush to join the Green Party the media will light up with
stories. Voting issues. Closing polling places in poor neighborhoods will be
high lighted. Out of control jerrymandering will be fixed by AI redrawing all
the congressional districts.
The difficulties to run as a third party candidate will be
featured. We are free to say whatever we want since we are beholden to no
one.
MOST IMPORTANTLY
Be about the message, not getting money for commercials. Green
Party registered since 1994.
16 1% Federal Property tax on all properties
valued over 10 million dollars. All properties listed. Bill O'Reilly, the
vulture, bought 86 houses or something during the housing crisis.
Land hoarding by the gluttonously wealthy continues without
opposition. Tax them enough so they sell off their land so we can preserve and
selectively log it.
In 1933 there were 3 times more
hiking trails in forests than logging roads and in 50 short years this
statistic was reversed. Government sponsorship of building roads is a good
issue for the Green Party to get behind. Let the forests mature.
Fair trade practices and the promotion of sustainability by indigenous
people should be actively promoted by the Greens. much of the land acquisition
in this country has been illegitimate. Railroads claiming land within 50 miles
of their tracks during western invasion. Cattle barons buying a million acres
at a time and on and on and all astride the genocide of the indigenous people.
The land calls for accountability.
My proposal is a 1% Federal Property tax on all
properties valued over 10 million dollars to go along with no more clear
cutting of older forests. Helping the natural landscape to recover.
Money can go to recycling and clean up efforts.
You want to hold on to a lot of
land for speculation or to cut trees in the future, you pay the
price. Sacrificing forest life for your wealth, be prepared to pay the
price.
17 BAN 20 million guns. The worst of the worst. This is where I lose everybody.
People are begging for a reasonable solution. We are not safe with weapons of
war in the hands of people who intend to use them on their fellow citizens.
If guns had to have insurance, the insurance companies would clean
up sloppy practices. This is also part of the strategy to get corporations (gun
manufactuers)fight each other instead of the government.
“Lock and load” “bloodbath” are incendiary words spewed by right wing gob
smackers. When people tell you who they are believe them. Ask them: who will
you be shooting?
You will still have 380 million guns, you knuckleheads,
even if all the AR-15’s are melted down into tree planting shovels.
I have had to hear these paranoid whiny
republicans fearing their guns will be taken my entire life and I’m weary of
it. Most people would like guns to be insured also, another issue.

~QUESTIONS FOR YOUR CONGRESSIONAL REP
We tries to fix the income disparity and bring comfort and survival to
millions. Having said that, we remember that with freedom comes responsibility.
Voting is a basic first thing and second would be our connection to our
representatives. We have to text and send letters. No excuse because you can do
your part sitting on the couch. We have to get involved. We get in their
face With questions. Lots of questions.
250
will put pressure on all these professional politicians, the lawyer lobbyists
that have allowed the corporatization of the US and created a law debilitated
paralysis in our judicial system.
Mook Dysodiapolis “the city of stench” in Greek. That's
my guy. His real name is, um, I forgot. Turnip has taught us name calling is
fine, so its like “Dear Mook, I have noted your recent votes on important
environmental issues…. …..”Mike. Mike something. Oh yeah Haridopolis, not
dysidiapolis. Here are some sample questions for your magawacky representative.
Everyone has a sign they raise as needed. "Answer the question Mook."
.1 what does t***p mean
when he says American blood is tainted by foreigners?
2 2 Do you think cutting social security helps the federal budget?
At this point everyone in
the audience holds up a sign "stick to the question Mike."
3 3 Should military pensions be extended to 30 years
instead of the current 20
4 4 Can the F-35 program be eliminated? Make more warthogs
if you must.
5 5 The Constitution calls for “a common defence”
With that in mind,
a can we close
200 bases in Japan and Germany?
6
large corporations have been buying seed to control markets. Can heirloom seeds
get some sort of protection here? The genetic inheritance of the Indian River
Lagoon means nothing to you?
7
Which is more important to deal with—the child care crisis or the border
crisis?
8 do you agree with Nit Romney that corporations are
people?
9 Why are lawyers 30% of Congress? Everyone writing laws
to help friends make money with sweetheart deals. Con man celebrity
circle jerk where they all give man of the year awards to each other?
Why is congress 30 % lawyers?
10 Do you think Pagans follow Lucifer?
11 Do you think too many bad politicians are lawyers?
Should we have more middle class people (while there are still some left)
representing us?
12 Would you like to see an investigation into military
spending or would that jeopardize the free lunch at Patrick Air Force base?
Have the military explain how much will be spent on pensions in the future as
was done by the GOP to the Post Office.
QUESTION 13 Workers at enterprises such as Hirams and Rock
City Nurseries were severely underpaid so a handful of people got rich and
workers basically struggled with the abysmal pay. What can you do to make
employers consider their employees more valuable than minimum wage?
The American Dream was to be a boss and make people
work harder than they should and pay them less than they deserve. That
was the simple secret. Then when computers made businesses run more
productively let money trickle up to an unholy bunch of mindless greedmeisters.
Do you agree?
19 gerrymandered congressional districts
redrawn
Here’s a great way to
start the citizens use of AI. Citizens committee to redraw congressional
districts (CCRCD). Have AI create a list of suggested polling sites that are
needed so everyone cann vote. I'm not crazy about this mail in voting. We
should have a longer voting period Polls to open 6am on the first Firiday of
November and ending Saturday at 6pm.
So many states are
still Jim Crow about shit and that needs to end. Districts redrawn by all of us
for the convenience of voters so as many people as possible can vote.
20
Universal health care. Excising all the greed in the system and getting
more care to more people.
21
FEDERAL
BUS PROGRAM WOULD RUN AS GOOD AS ANYTHING ELSE. To pay for it, I want to eliminate the departments of
energy and education. BEST WAY TO ELIMINATE OIL AND GAS? Interstate free bus
system.
Stops at all the rural hubs.
ALSO … Connect east and west coast with a shipping rail
across the entire middle of the country to reduce interstate truck travel.
Wildlife corridors all the way across. Easier to elevate rail and less width
needed in remote mountainous areas. Cut down of truck traffic and diesel
exhaust. major Depots at either end. Like Pueblo Colorado to Nashville.
22
Department of Peace. Make CIA
budget public and have an oversight committee of 20 citizens. Our goal is peace
and it will be no secret. We would encourage the youth of China Russia and the
United States to band together to end weapon production and take all
these world ending weapons away from these lunatic autocrats.
24
ACCELERATED MINIMUM WAGE
A $17 minimum is the death knell for small business.
One of the few things Bernie Sanders is wrong about. Make $13.50 the minimum
for any businesses grossing less than a million $16 for most business and $19
for big billion dollar businesses
25
WORLD PARK IN THE ARTIC CIRCLE
Another issue is these countries think they have the
right to pillage the Arctic as the ice melts. People in the three countries can
unite and declare the ocean open to all individuals AND not to profit. It’s
needed for the future. we have to learn to live with less or people a hundred
years from now will have no precious metals left. to make shit with. How
do we make people realize we are stealing from the future? Putting their
survival at risk with a world stripped of resources and farmland that has lost 75%
of it’s fertility through erosion and straight up shitty ignorant farming, on
large farms. Make the Arctic
a World Park with no mining.
Trump Putin Mao, and another issue is these
countries think they have the right to pillage the Arctic as the ice melts.
What's your view?
26 Build an infrastructure for every small farm
in the world to utilize and make the rich pay for it. They
pollute, they hire goons to threaten others, they cheat on taxes, they unfairly
accumulate land and launder money. So yesm I’m suggesting double taxation.
10% luxury tax on accumulated asests and a 1% national property tax for
the top 10% of landowners.
27 GO PRO MONDAY
hopefully we will have a wave of independents and Green Party elected to
Congress and the Senate in 2026.
We
have to marginalize these two lame ass parties so they can never have a
majority. We need 5 Independents in the Senate and 20 in Congress. No new
lawyers either in 2026. Get working people in office. What did Thomas Jefferson
call that concept? Citizen legislators. A continual changing face of
representation.
So
here’s the deal. Those gaining office that year will wear Go-Pro cameras every
Monday. Go Pro Monday. It should be made easy to live stream your own
representative. Piece of cake folks, we need strategy. Show the life of DC.
Lobbyists ducking out of sight. Polluters scheduling meetings on Tuesday.
Unpaid interns. Another dirty way to marginalize the poor.
People back in their districts can observe the gladhanders, crooks and
influence peddlers that our elected representatives have to deal with every
day. The
actual swamp. Who they talk to as they wait to vote.
Clyde
the plumber who won on his motto. "Time to Unclog the Shit" was
reading notes for an upcoming bill while the greedy lobbyist paces in the
hallway. "You still out there?" asked Clyde. You need to be roto
rootered? Git, ya varmint.
No
private meetings, but everything right out in the open. Not everything can be
national security. Tuesday we wear our work clothes from back home. In
fact we wont wear suits so we know who the bought off crooks are.
Asking
your congressional representative if they would participate in this effort to
make it easier for a third party. I got Mike Haridopolouse in Congressional
District 8 as my representative. RiK Scott and Marco Rubio as my senators. I’m
going to follow their voting and object as I see fit. The GOP has that mean
streak.
28 There
is a trucking crisis.
It’s real. How many truck drivers
tired and over worked today? Way too many, even after regulations to help them.
We need to hear their stories. Farmers trucks and localstores. Who would be a
good transportation Secretary?
Surely, he articulates workers
dissatisfaction better than someone whose initiatives for truckers was
about vaccines. No vaccines. Wah wah.
What
about unpaid drivers sitting around waiting for the next ride? Drivers making
less than some states minimum wage because of all the expenses they incur as
“private contractors?”
I get
worried on the interstate, when these drivers are three feet behind me, then
they zoom past me with their blade encrusted hubcaps.
Okay? Does the Green Party address the needs of workers, or just
the whiny, virtue signaling issues of the big city? For every covenant
issue, I’m going to have the more detail down below in section 3.
29 Demand an
executive order.
Limit lawyers who
work on government cases to have a cap of $100 an hour. This is when the
American public finds out how roaches have been hiding in the walls.
Putting ethics back the
economic order.
From
Thomas Paines "Common Sense" that spurred on the revolution of
1776.
A SONG,
WRITTEN EARLY IN THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION
Tune-The
gods of Greece.
IN a
chariot of light, from the regions of day,
The
Goddess of Liberty came,
Ten
thousand celestials directed her way,
And
hither conducted the dame.
A fair
budding branch from the gardens above,
Where
millions with millions agree,
She
brought in her hand as a pledge of her love,
And the
plant she named Liberty Tree.
The
celestial exotic stuck deep in the ground,
Like a
native it flourished and bore;
The
fame of its fruit drew the nations around,
To seek
out this peaceable shore.
How all
the tyrannical powers,
Kings,
Commons, and Lords, are uniting amain
To cut
down this guardian of ours.
From
the East to the West blow the trumpet to arms,
Thro’
the land let the sound of it flee :
Let
them unite with a cheer,
In
defense of our Liberty Tree.
The final blossoming of the Constitution. The founding
revolutionaries could not free everybody all at once, but left a structure in
place that could.
30
JOIN THE GREEN PARTY
I suggest Progressives join the Green Party that has done the work to get
on the ballots of most states, but otherwise politically, is a fish flopping on
the dock.
Let the Democrats have all the dinner party, city slicker rich
Libruls they want. Conservative conspiracy theorists rarely have any true
insights and offer very little for community cohesiveness and nothing to
improve the blessings of liberty for many people. But I have found that most
people don't care either way with politics and would support a small business
revival. t***p voters are generally nature enthusiasts and pet lovers,
and we can help the ones that have regained their common sense. They will vote
for independents. half of us are independents and would find many areas of
agreement. Todays Liberals and Conservatives are out of touch.
Like I said most dont care about either "side". These are
regular folks; these are the people that can be lured away from the GOP by a
common-sense third-party agenda.
People see Democrats now as men who want to be women, and women that act
like men. Do nothing Democrats have stigmatized themselves. Pretty messed up
and an inaccurate analysis of an important demographic. #independentmajorityparty
Xian nationalists consider the America we know as a secular mistake. It’s
supposed to be Gods country! Christian Conspiracy theorists show aerial
diagrams of Washington DC to be laid out in a pentagram! (Actually, a Goddess
temple complex nyuk nyuk.). The want to invalidate the Founding Revolutionaries
ideals and make it a booga booga bible belt bamboozle.
Lady Liberty is an evil, demonic goddess. Did you know that? That's
right, the statue of Liberty. They are clearly out of their minds and #250 can
be our foundation in reality.
But that's what Liberals do. It
can be called enlightened despotism, and its their intention that they are
doing things for your own good.
This is how
Democrats absorb every good radical impetus into it's managed maw. Calm down
radicals, we got this, say the Democrats, but they have been feckless,
ineffectual do nothings who can't stand up to Neo-con bullying.
Over two decades of feel good, gauzy
nothingness. The Democrats couldn't counter the GOP "Contract on
America" in 1995 or the Tea Party buffoons in 2010 and have been mute
since, steadily losing governorships and state legislatures. Both major parties
are broken down ships unfit for sailing into the future. Like two teams no one
likes in the Super Bowl.
This is why it has to be third party or bust

We're all Britons, and I am your king.

Dennis: Well, that's what it's
all about! If only people would--
King Arthur: Please,
please, good people, I am in haste. Who lives in that castle?
Peasant Woman: No one lives there.
King Arthur: Then who is your lord?
Peasant Woman: We don't have a lord.

- -7-3- THE INDEPENDENT MAJORITY
THE INDEPENDENT MAJORITY PARTY
“If
you are stuck in an ideological rut, (Liberal or Conservative), the
incendiary rhetoric contained herein may greatly increase blood pressure.
Please be advised that in the emerging marketplace of ideas, the independent
viewpoint needs to be heard.” Excerpts from the zine, “Conservative
Conservationist” (1995) and 2021 updates.
This chapter goes to the
core of workers dignity and personal Liberty, and seeks economic and
environmental justice.

Guile on Display

D The
High Thread count in the Fabric of Freedom
To find peace in this chaos is to be
enlightened. The clotted nothingness of liberalism and the venomous
spewing of most conservatives, represent only small slices of the American
Pie; unfortunately, the only two that have a voice in the mainstream media.
What about the independent viewpoint? Independents have no
steadfast, limiting ideology and we develop our own unique viewpoints and
philosophies. We are tired of coercive governments and corrupt, polluting
corporations and reclaiming the Commons is going to be one of our
strategies. We anticipate the logjam of the
Liberal-Conservative debate to break soon and new ideas, independent ideas,
will burst onto the media.
Many people are beginning to
recognize the emptiness of the consumer culture and are striving to put
communication back in our communities, although it seems that a vast majority
seems more concerned with appearances and acquisitions. In the past, many
Independents have voted reluctantly or not at all. Over many years I have
heard “there’s no one to vote for. I don’t like either if them.” The truth
is that we don’t need term limits; we need easier ballot access for third party
candidates and Independents. There is not much choice between the
embattled attorney at Law Tweedle Dee or embittered lawyer Tweedle Dum.
The Democranks and Republicants have
our opinions properly stifled. The next wave of activism will be a
Progressive initiative to reform capitalism into a system that the world can
work with forever. At first, I thought of Democratic Capitalism.
Concerned with the general welfare of the populace, Democratic Socialists such
as Bernie Sanders are looking to take our current revenue and arrange that
money to go where it is needed. However, for the long
term, I settled on Market Socialism. A refinement of Democratic
Socialism. Market Socialism immediately goes to the core of America: where we
get supplies. Who cares about our war machine really and what the War Hawks
want? I don’t remember voting for perpetual war. Slash that budget
in half and let the whiny white people leave the salty stains of their
tears on the Statue of Liberty.
Every day we must have supplies on
hand but the corporate stranglehold leaves us dependent on them. Pandemics and
Hurricanes showed us that. The threats of terrorism and communism
seem unimportant in retrospect. A New Square Deal is what we will call getting
back the money the 1% has stolen from the working people in the last fifty
years.
Progressives have been around a long
time and here is the theme of the current Progressive Party, “We of The
American Progressive Party seek government accountability, an end to wars of
aggression, a vibrant economy, including living wage jobs, sustainable
environments, social justice and constitutional rights for
all.” I would like to add from my own box of sayings, “encode
liberty, embed equality, ostracize criminality and vanquish
cruelty.” This can be achieved in any country in the
world. If we have a global economy, we will certainly need global
unions and global morality. We all can fight for each other and most know the
apropos phrase is “an injury to one is an injury to all.”
The
Independent Majority is about the many millions of unique, free-thinking people
around the world; a majority of people that crosses all class, gender and race
barriers. Independents are not brainwashed into religious or cultural extremes,
and comprise the bulk of what we call ‘regular folks’.
In
a collapsing society or in a Depression, or when the dollar is no longer the
go-to world currency; how many pension funds, guaranteed by the government, can
be paid? How much money deposited in banks can be
insured? Tea Party enthusiasts don’t realize they are one government guaranteed
pension fund away from dumpster diving, and the government is backing far more
than it could possibly support in a large market crash. This is why
Wall Street was bailed out in 2008. The government didn't have the
trillions to pay depositors and investors.
A new
culture and economic system have begun to rise up and its healthy greenery will
grow a canopy over the dying, destructive, death dealing, war loving culture of
Manifest Destiny. This final, demented phase of Capitalism that
wasn’t imagined, even by Milton Friedman and the Chicago School of Oligarchy,
with their rose-colored greed glasses. In their world, the rich
should own everything, for our own good of course.
a)
MALICIOUS GUILE ON
DISPLAY
The
star of the Progressive Era was Teddy Roosevelt, a Progressive
Conservative, who was often at odds with big
business. A true conservative historically has been mistrustful of
the Bigs. Big banks, big companies, and big religions.
Theodore
Roosevelt was one of the few in power who were brave enough to confront Big
Business and the predatory monopolies head on. He saw what grappling
beasts the giant corporations could be, and how the Mom and Pop, Market
Capitalism, and our traditional rural culture were suffering from
corporate bullying in the market place. He was also enough of a conservationist
to have started the National Parks system AND the National Estuary
Program.
Je suis Teddy.
Sadly, even if government taxes and interference were reduced, as the
conservatives want, greedy corporations would quickly jump in and
increase their chewing and sucking of our lifeblood, as parasites are inclined
to do. This is why we have to reduce the influence of corporations AND
government equally. Most regulation has only stifled the very small business
entrepreneurs, not vulture capitalists investors like Stupid Bigly. The goal of
reformers will be to knock aside the corporate apologists and
entrenched bureaucracy. while the real battle ahead for authentic conservatives
and practical Liberals, will be in defense of small business.
Barry Goldwater was an advocate of
small business and a smaller government, and his advice over 60 years ago
regarding budget cuts was to, “put the ax in the right places.” However, these
days (1995) there have been a lot of misguided chopping. Mean spirited
Republicans eagerly axing small programs that funded community improvements in
1995. Programs that often organized (liberal) volunteers to help assist paid
employees were dramatically slashed for no reason other than spite. It doesn't
matter how clever the program, if there is one whiff of Liberalism; these empty
hearted Republicans go after it. A 2022 update: they are worse than ever.
The
Master Gardener program, within the Agriculture Department, harnesses 10 times
more volunteer labor than the total paid labor hours of the program. I know
because I went through the program three times in two states. It is
one of the best government-subsidized programs going and for how much, the cost
of a dozen patriot missiles. That’s ten volunteers or Interns or
apprentices for every paid employee. You won’t find any conservative
based programs that can do the same. What other organization does that? Hmmm?
Meals on Wheels, that’s who! For god’s sake, how can you stop feeding the
hungry and send an army of volunteers packing as the administration of the
Orange Menace got into gear? It’s the most shortsighted budget cuts ever, nothing
but malicious guile on display.
The
Master Gardeners are helpful educating the public. I know because I
volunteered 175 hours with them, and every year there were budget cuts in the
Agriculture Department, slashing ten or twenty thousand dollars on this good
program every year or two so everyone involved sacrifices a little to work and
volunteer for the Extension Service. Meanwhile the Congress in the
last 15 years can’t write a check fast enough to buy bombs or increase their
own pay and benefits.
Service
in America has gone to shit with the tight-fisted corporations who spend
lavishly on themselves but pay peanuts to the employees. Servers working too
many tables, part timers covering too many departments in a store, and many
other degradations of the once, service-oriented America. Sales oriented Sears
may or may not survive as one example. They didn’t at our local
mall.
Another
example of shortsighted Republican budget cuts in 1995 was the 2.5 million
dollars cut in the department that releases formerly classified
documents. You know, like the documents that exposed the names of
soldiers who were used as nuclear guinea pigs in the 50’s during atomic weapon
testing or the files of black men that were given diseases to see what
happened. We’ve read the news and compartmentalized the torture and
people say, “Aw that’s a shame, thankfully it’s in the past”. Well it’s not.
The right wing reprehensibles would light witches and gays on fire in the
center of town if they could.
b) ENVIRONMENTAL
JUSTICE
Seventy
five years ago, there were three times as many hiking trail miles as there were
logging road miles. Currently the opposite is true and there are now three
times as many linear miles of logging roads, compared to hiking trails. It’s
cheaper to develop hiking trails, isn’t it? Keep the trees, where
they are, we can recycle for our paper needs. We can grow Hemp and Kenaf and
others to make many wood and paper products. We are quite ready to
leave the trees where they are and let forests become wild again. We are eager
to give hemp crops a chance to revitalize small farms.
You see, those scurvy Republicans are
poised to launch more forays into our ancient forests. Moreover, in 2022,
republicans are ready to sell naming rights of our National Parks to
corporations, if not outright sell the parks to mining companies and other
polluters. It’s not about global warming in my mind, it’s
about the pollution of our air and water and the nearly complete destruction of
the world’s ecosystems. It’s about planning for 1,000 generations from now
despite Capitalisms goal to liquidate it all. They will need the earth too.
Please, sell some military bases around the world to balance the budget.
Computerize the Pentagon and have bake sales to buy that next jet.
I
found some old forestry magazines from the thirties and took a look. Many
articles warned about the foolishness of clear cutting. The last of the old time,
original conservationists of the Teddy Roosevelt Progressive Era had passed on
by the 1930's. Logging companies were slogged for being greedy instead of being
steward of our wild lands. The Forest Service lost sight of their mission and
became a toady to large corporate interests by the end of the Second World
War. Forests became primarily for the corporations: bribes and
politics and all that. Money doesn’t grow on trees, it is trees.
Millions
of acres were clear-cut for the population explosion and cheap paper products
fueled a big chunk of the prosperity of the 50’s and 60’s oblivious to that
were, in many cases, hundreds of years old. Destroyed also were the micro
niches in ancient forest ecosystems that are now lost.
With
logging lobbyists rewriting forestry laws, the last ten percent of the Americas
ancient forests are in peril, in the name of cheap paper and wood products that
have been priced far below what they should have been since the end of WW2. Why
did the greatest generation figure the rapacious plundering of the forests
would last forever? I thought they were good at math? Clear cutting until they
were clear cutting second growth, and forest devastation was finally curtailed
during the seventies.
Didn't their parents dunk their heads
in ice water to punish them if they got bad grades? Allowing nuclear
waste and encouraging the use of poisonous chemicals while they hacked away at
America’s natural resources and pocketing the profits for themselves was wrong
it’s too late to dunk their heads in a galvanized basin filled with ice
water. The people, who have been asleep since WW2 ended, are too old
now for that, and they need young people to lead as the love generation boomers
were nearly as bad. The Love Generation found out what they actually loved was
money, luxury, and retirement security and they were nearly as bad as the
greatest generation when it came to the foresight needed for the future. They
invested in the war machine pretending it was “the space program.”
Why
have conservationists been assaulted in the media during this never-ending
Reagan Era of Greed? The concerns of conservationists over the last 50 years have
been to save what is worth saving, while every hurdle possible is thrown out in
front of them. Corporations throwing teams of avaricious attorneys at private
civic groups fighting for their land and safety. The conservers of nature
battle with conservatives who have sold as much of the natural world as they
possibly could, not comprehending what they are doing to God’s treasures.
What
is wrong with saving a 500-year-old tree? What is so right about making
toothpicks or cheap tissue paper out of it? Hang tough, it’s no crime to have a
little foresight, and saving the Creators wilderness is important. I may or may
not believe in a creator, I am pandering here to believers, but they need to
realize we need trees, god or no god. Trees are real; they make air,
while religion hot air from the pulpits of hate.
Can’t
we make toothpicks from recycled material? Of course, we can. Logging
companies still clear cut because it is cheaper to cut down a 200-foot tree
than it is to recycle old pallets and wooden construction waste and
the forest service needs to be gutted and re]aced by the protectors of the
forests. That’s a real shame and an indictment on capitalisms excess and
waste. If clear cutting were banned for 10 years, woodlot
management and recycling would finally become viable. No more
than four trees an acre every ten years is my guide to define what clear
cutting is. Inflation yes, but we need a good dose of inflation so
prices can float up to where they should be for resources and essential labor. You
might not know this, but, with inflation, your home will have more value with
an inflationary spiral and many fewer of us would be underwater with our
mortgages. The Country Club doesn’t want you to know that because
they make money from usurious loans, and so by the end of a twenty year loan,
inflation has eaten away some of their profit.
How many
Independents in the House and Senate? One? Two? It’s a joke and we know
it. (I was thinking of Bernie Sanders and his brave solo struggle
when I wrote most of this in 1995.) Independents are not middle of the
road, yet we are weary of two extremes. A constant hum of moralistic
rantings and non-stop ravings by the moral high ground hypocrites and the
immoral, depraved criminal class cheating their way through life. They are
there lurking in the shadows of the honest workers.
Independents
are tired of the preachers and tired of the perverts and weary of do nothing
politicians, so I’m asking, who speaks for us? We are weary of the
con men and the dishonest hucksters everywhere in America.
We
nearly woke up during the GATT “debate,” but they slipped
it by us and now it’s another layer of bureaucracy to peel off. The public
outcry did not convince Congress that GATT wasn’t what we
wanted. Are you kidding? A world trade bureaucracy? Telling me how
much I sell my organic peaches for!
I
don’t think so; no to GATT and no to the New World Order. Say NO to a two-tier
global structure of struggling peasants who have lost their land and rich elite
parasites and polluters that are buying it up and destroying it along with the
local ecosystem.
c) ECONOMIC
JUSTICE
How
much longer will the 20 cent an hour worker in third world countries remain
silent, docile and obedient? They struggle every day with the knowledge that, in
their heart, they know something is deeply wrong when they work so fucking hard
under such horribly difficult conditions, while a select few are clipping fat
cigars at the country club.
These
workers need a match to set them off, and I’m eager for the day when that will
happen. If the workers of the world unionized and protected themselves, they’d
be off to a good start in this rat race. Our placid, over consumptive lifestyle
will be badly shaken if 20 cent an hour workers were to start making two
dollars an hour but it would create a good deal of income
equality. Not sure if you stockholders will agree. Your stock broker
said space program but your investment went to incinerating wedding parties.
Asian
sweatshops that make our clothing a would have to pay workers a livable wage,
then voila, Instead of being on the verge of starvation workers would have
money in their pockets. American made clothing becomes more competitive in that
case when slave labor gets paid a living wage. I can’t emphasize it
enough so I’ll say it again, the more workers make in all the other
countries of the world, the more competitive American exports become. Furniture
and many other products, whose manufacture has left our shores, would return if
workers around the world were paid a living and thriving wage.
Their
product costs more but workers have more to spend. It’s a win win,
ya know and as Will Rogers said, “it all trickles back up to them anyways.” You
are told of the down side of inflation by economists and Wall Street who only
care about their investments that will lose their value with inflation and they
repeat the lie in a thousand different ways that inflation is a terrible
thing.
People have been brainwashed to
accept a minimum wage that creeps up while insurances and many
services increase their costs at a far greater rate than the
inflation rate would indicate. 80% of us struggle with the cost of this modern
life that has been forced on us by the violent and wasteful paradigm of
Capitalism.
The war economy and nature destroying
economy. Paltry pay affects too many families, but raising the pay of the
lowest paid of the world would be good for all in that lifting up of all boats
kind of way. Call it float up economics as opposed to trickle down. Some say
the only way forward is to smash capitalism, but I am inclined to think
that we create a new economy for workers instead and let capitalism
collapse.
( #bernwallstreetbern
) All American products become more competitive when wages go up in
the poorest parts of the world, and conversely, these same people
will be able to afford American products with better wages. You
know, like movies and music that doesn’t need super tankers to ship it. Float
up Economics, let wages go up and create inflation. We can’t lose. Tax the funny
money of the wealthy and turn their fake paper profits into housing and food
for people.
Promote
good pay and safe working conditions around the world and a new economy will
emerge and a more competitive market for our exports. Imagine better
wages for all when CEO pay and shareholder benefits are reined in as a result
of higher wages and safer working conditions and a 35-hour week which will give
people more time to spend with their families.
What I’m saying is that many people
have become rich by providing goods for unnaturally low prices and call it
prosperity. This makes it appear that Industrial Predatory Capitalism has
really worked great with so much prosperity but an inevitable Predatory
Capitalist system collapse will be discussed in terms of trillions of dollars.
We are living under an Illusion of Prosperity, and the curtain of deceit is
being pulled back exposing the swindles of them gold hoarding bastards.
10% on all accumulated wealth over 10
million dollars. A luxury tax a la Monopoly until the national debt
is paid, how about that as a budget balancer? It would pit bankers against the
rest of the rich. The rich will pay off the six billion in interest on the
national debt with this tax and a laser hot focus will be put on this
ridiculous price gouging of the banksters. The rich can also put the
money back in social security that they used for two ridiculous wars and Ronnie
Ray guns military buildup, which initially ballooned the deficit into the
stratosphere.
It’s
a living hell for many in this world, and I want to know, where is the joy the
Creator presumably wants us to have? On the other hand, is life supposed to be
brutal with no universal consequences? Maybe god is an asshole who
hates people. You never know; that boss who screws us at work--is it any
different than the cheetah biting and tearing the neck of the Impala? It’s just
a slower death, a death of the spirit. A concussion of the heart.
Who
best to lead the vanguard of economic justice? Who has the simple
concepts we can follow while reducing the ridiculous bureaucracy we have now?
Brave enough to expose the parasite economy? forward thinking enough to
abandon the steam age economics of Narxists. The answer you’re looking for is
modern 21st century Progressives.
My favorite concept is called the
Escalating Minimum Wage. I’d raise the minimum wage to 10 dollars an hour for
small business, and 12 dollars an hour for businesses that have sales or income
of a million dollars or more the next year. Then the following year, 16 dollars
an hour minimum wage for billion-dollar corporations An
across the board 15 dollars an hour will not work and will be the final nail in
the coffin for small business here in America.
Republicans lying out their ass about
this tax reform nonsense they passed that Democrats will have to repeal.
Corporations such as McDonalds and Walmart depended on minimum wage workers to
build their empires and fortunes and put all local small business, OUT OF
BUSINESS. Teen workers forced to go home if the worksite wasn’t
busy. Workers with no transportation and workers having to arrange baby-sitting
are frustrated to tears with this arrangement.
Imagine all the workers
that would have more disposable income with a more equitable worldwide minimum
wage. Money to catch up on bills and go out, have some fun occasionally, and
maintain sturdy, time saving appliances for their homes. We are not
looking for Jaguars with mink umbrella holders. People are weary of suffering.
Our culture would diversify with even more variety and freedom of expression if
more people had time to recreate and relax and having some jingle jangle in their
pocket to do things would be a great relief to the people who have kept America
running the last fifty years.
Use
minor league baseball as an example, and local bands and singers and musicians
as another. Fans and audiences would better be able to pay for more entertainment
with better pay. Part time musicians and minor league ball players
would all make more with a prosperous middle class, and consequently spend
more. People would be going out to listen to live music and watch
minor league ballgames with a little more money to burn. This floating up of
poor people’s incomes would benefit many, but the Wall Street “experts” will
say inflation is a bad, dangerous thing. Wall Street doesn’t want
you to know that inflation due to increased wages would increase house values,
but provide no benefits for banks whose profits would diminish as the value of
their loan decreases.
Restaurants and Historic
sites would see an upswing in visitors when incomes increase and vacations
expand. People would vacation more with better pay, no shit.
Corporate kingpins such as the Walton’s that own Walmart would find their 175
billion dollar nest egg start to shrink and it would be a good thing, as
millions had more to spend. People just want a vacation and a little
vacation ,oney to spend but Sam Walton was a ruthless parasite. Soon a circle
of prosperity would develop among the working poor, we don’t need luxuries, we
need to pay the bills. Extremely profitable business should pay the
best.
People growing and selling food
as capitalisms waste and excess is sent to the showers. Food trucks are going
to get a larger share of the restaurant market. Picture this: Non-GMO corn from
Mexico made into tortillas filled with locally grown beans and tomatoes. For
meat eaters there’s a certified humanely grown beef market to expand. Small
Farm agriculture as it used to be known. Voila! A taco truck on every corner
sounds like a good idea with people growing, buying and selling locally. A
ravioli truck and a Hummus truck too.
Many
recognize what has been lost and it is not a social decay as much as the loss
of the vibrant small businesses that had always been the
backbone of the United States. The Klondike Capitalism of the early 1800’s and
the Mom and Pop Capitalism up to World War 2 were vibrant, alive and diverse,
and this is what has been destroyed by predatory capitalism.
Big
Business (Wall Street) has sucked the life out of Main Street and I think the
whole Predatory Capitalist system is dysfunctional, anti-family and anti-liberty. Do
we revolt or reform? No, our answer to paracidicidal price gouging and usury is
to take on second or third jobs. Too busy, too busy, and there is no time for
spiritual renewal or healing. No time to slow down the destruction of the
planet.
There are the lawyers, the bankers,
and insurance industry profit pigs and health care price gougers. Not to
mention bureaucrats and criminals: the parasites of the workers. All
paracidicidal industries I’ve mentioned, do they make food or fuel? Do they actually
produce something of value? Like vultures on our shoulders, their job is to
wait for a dollar to fall out of our pocket so they can take it. Then Wall
Street finds many different ways to funnel your money their way. The
final bamboozling is yet to come and upper middle class savings are the next
target.
Economies
need to be based on workers protection and the easy movement of unions where
they are needed, like, everywhere. Escalating Minimum Wage….hmmmm…...business
experts would say that as wages rise, so would inflation. The Federal Reserve,
a private corporation, wouldn’t like this either, but we need a good
dose of inflation right now to take some pressure off some artificially low
prices, and to raise some long stagnated wages.
Governments
and corporate elites have an economic system tailored to their greed and
cruelty. Seriously, would you personally have 500 workers making 20
cents an hour in your factory? Cold blooded CEO’s fire you if you cannot
inspect and test a circuit board in less than 73 seconds---all day long, one
after another. Human robots standing on an assembly line 16 hours a day so the
workers children can have something to eat. These companies need to
feel the sting of the workers anger and frustration. Never mind having a family
life in these conditions. Go home and sleep, go back to work. The
workers revolution is inevitable. The “owners of this country” are too blind to
understand what they are doing to the spirit of people.
In
this country, lawyers have created a law debilitated justice system along with
a grossly disproportionate representation in congress. Our constitutionally guaranteed
rights cost over a hundred dollars an hour and predatory capitalists use the
judicial system to bully anyone that bothers them. They tie them up
in court or bankrupt them with lawyer’s fees and there are literal armies of
lawyers out there fighting against the public.
d) THE HIGH THREAD COUNT IN THE FABRIC
OF SOCIAL JUSTICE
Where
are the liberty seeking patriots? They aren’t the ones in those militias all
fired up to fight a war with the government. They are not those big business
sycophants who are holding up the crumbling façade of Manifest Destiny. The
real patriots are the Independents and the Progressives and the
Greens. The activism and street protests are going to increase until
the obvious inequalities in our societies are finally changed. Tired of the
Republican Stupid, people are ready for action and I’m feeling energy. There is
magic in the air and we need to pull it down. Anticipating an activist spring,
an educational year to de-program those who have been indoctrinated.
The
spirit of 1776 has been crushed. We have replaced independence and
small business with interdependence and convenience and what Noam Chomsky calls
manufactured demand. We have replaced Liberty and Justice for all with the
culture of the warrior elite. Bloodthirsty foreign actions with
drones and jets dropping bombs on numerous wedding parties in
Middle Eastern countries and trillion-dollar wars encouraged by misguided
people. They are the War Culture. The tree cutting
culture. We are not a christian nation, we are an asshole nation.
Veterans have bought into all this
flag worship and my country right or wrong nonsense, and feel they are patriots
because they risked their lives in Europe and Asia and wherever
else. George Washington might not agree with the patriotism angle,
and would find that bomb bomb bombing Iraq or Vietnam isn‘t the same kind of
effort he made at Valley Forge.
Who will pay for all the fake wars of
the future? Pension costs and toxic cleanup sites of military bases is going to
bust the budget in the future. Can you see the headline in the year 2081? ARMY
PENSIONER DIES AT 108. COLLECTED PENSION FOR RECORD 65 YEARS. Yes,
they can collect a full pension after twenty years of service. The military has
become the prime example of socialist overkill. There is tremendous
waste and virtually no citizen oversight and lots of money to spread around. Of
course, injured and traumatized veterans earned their free health care and
deserve what they get and more for rehabilitation, but this type of socialism
will soon be costing us 100 billion a year in benefits for former
soldiers. This is why I think the military should cap its budget at
500 billion, and as the Post Office had to, the Military should also show how
much is being set aside for pensions.
I
know a dude that spent 18 years in the commissary selling shoes and he started
collecting a full pension at the age of 45. Needless to say, a
Rush Limpaw addict and Obama hater and ironically a great complainer of
moochers. What I mean to point out is that, to support the Conservative world
totalitarian conquest, great incentives had to be given to people serving in
the military so they would be gung-ho hoes disguised as heroes and unapologetic
flag wavers. You can bet that Mr. Sunshine, the shoe sales
clerk, loves playing golf and going to the Tiki bar on your dime.
First
thing they do to a soldier is unconstitutionally strip you down mentally and
physically during boot camp. Today we have a nation of hyper
patriotic, roided up alo=hiccup=coholic retirees. Maybe we should shift the
pension to start after 30 years served, instead of 20? Everyone is
tightening his or her belts---except the military. Many today that are
biding their time and milking it, so to speak, so they can get that 20 year
pension. You see them at the Tiki Bar, spending freely and drinking
bigly. Later, they wobble towards their flag bedecked Cadillac. Let these
leeches retire, then start phasing out all this gravy. Then there are the paper
tigers in the Pentagon, the pencil pushing pensioners with plush
payments. So much can be cut from the military budget!
The older generation had been
brainwashed to worship all coercive authority. The boomers work ceaselessly to
keep their heads above water or are deeply into the greed machine. The youth
are looking ahead but don’t understand some of the old American traditions like
blue-collar solidarity.
We don‘t want militias or Unabomber’s.
Did Mahatma Gandhi belong to a political party? Billions of us have been
transcending generation, race, gender, and class barriers to discuss the taboos
of peace, love and rock and roll, and are aware of our right to speak out.
Fight for your right to party, if you know what I mean.
Was
America great when forests were clear-cut to ignite the housing boom of the
50's and there was the cheap electricity from government-subsidized nuclear
power? The rich were taxed 90% and the biggest middle class the
world had ever known were born. Weapon manufacturing jobs gave people great
pay, but now we have a trillion dollar cleanup at military bases and weapon
manufacturing
sites.
People
got cheap electricity in the 50’s and 60’s but left the problem of storing
nuclear waste to generations unborn. There will be 10,000 years’
of storage problems in the future, another face palm moment because of the bass
ackwards ‘greatest generation’. The agenda of the Predatory
Industrialists was to make a lot of money and creating nuclear weapons from the
spent fuel. It was all about the bombs not the integrity of the workers lives.
The
profits of previous decades has given us the weapon-saturated world owe have
today. When weapons are captured from Daesh (Isil), they are usually from America
is the opinion I have heard. Along with toxic military
sites, there will also be a multi-billion dollar effort to decommission these
nuclear power plants that created temporary cheap electricity in the 50's 60's
and 70's. It will cost 40 billion dollars per plant to break it down
and decontaminate it and then leave it to future taxpayers to bury monitor
radioactive concrete for 1,000 years. This illusion of prosperity created by
the misnamed ‘greatest generation’ of the 50’s and 60’s who didn’t
give much thought to the consequences, or worry about the world they were
poisoning as proxies to the Industrialists.
Individuals
may have free speech, but when many are united in the associations and
organizations we belong to, it gives us citizens /voters/workers a weapon to
use against coercive authority. The big boat is starting to change its course,
so be prepared and look over the next rouge wave. Help is on the way. Be
prepared to snap out of our national coma and be prepared to burn the ticks,
fleas, leeches and parasites off our wallets and/or pocketbooks. Get
independent, get in the majority.
Who has got the money, time AND
temerity to be independent and face down the Democrat-Republican monopoly? Our
constitution demands that we protect our liberty…how will we do it? This has to
be the time Independent Progressives and Greens and Libertarians and others can
create an umbrella third party. I suggest calling it the Independent Majority
Party. IMP. #independentmajorityparty. The Independent majority Party would
gain ballot access everywhere to allow Independents to emerge from the shadows.
Our
life will be a cakewalk compared to what union organizers in the third world
will face. The worldwide revolt of the 20 cent an hour worker is inevitable.
Entirely new principals of thrifty and fair, war-free governments will be
developed. The totalitarian capitalist despots and socialist coral
colony do-nothings will be on the run. Independents need to stand up
and be counted.
Imagine
extraneous laws wiped off the books. A future where
lawyers make 1,600 dollars a week instead of 160 dollars an
hour. We will all be able to afford fair representation in our justice
system as our constitution demands? Maybe if enough laws are eliminated,
people could get a law degree at like, a community college or something. Cool.
A
cleaning of the barn doesn’t say it any better. Ross Perot drove to the heart
of our dissatisfaction with that statement. Paradise has been lost to the parasites.
They exploit the hard-working people of the world and we act like faithful
dogs, lemmings and sheep. We bleat furiously but realize we are already fenced
in, “for our own good.” Push aside the liberals and conservatives. America
waits for her sons and daughters to react. The Independent Majority has
arrived. Focus…wake up….get involved.

KEVIN THE TURKEY Kevin the Turkey Kevin the Turkey is
attempting to take back the land of his ancestors. He was a polarizing figure
in Wethersfield Connecticut and had a large following on Facebook. He gave me
an idea for the germ of an article regarding wildlife returning to populated
areas that were once their genetically encoded forage areas. KEVIN THE
TURKEY===Birds have large areas they forage in and Kevin was brave enough to
mix with the human population.
I would certainly hope no one is feeding him but on the
other hand he needs to stay away from people who want him to be safe. This is
such a teaching moment. We hold our breath fearing the day when we read that
Kevin got hit by a truck, but conveniently forget the millions of animals whose
habitat was destroyed as Wethersfield went from farms, forests and wetlands, to
suburbs stores and sprawl.
Baby bunnies buried as the foundation of your house was
being poured. Muskrats starving and hiding when their wetland was filled in
during the silent slaughter created by "civilization".
Everything wild about America was tamed and Kevin the
Wethersfield Turkey is the symbol of what we once were, and there are many ways
to integrate wild life back into our life. Plant trees that have nuts that wild
turkeys like, and grow native grasses so turkeys can harvest the seeds. Prune
up the canopies of the numerous beautiful trees in Olde Wethersfield so Kevin
can fly low like turkeys do.
Kevin reclaiming the ancient hunting grounds and America is
finally ready to stop running over wild life. The cavalier attitude towards
animal suffering in the 50’s has been put to the test as a social norm these
last 50 years and has failed. He symbolizes the wildness we have lost and don't
let the Quilting Club knit sweaters for him.
We hold our breath fearing the day when
we read that Kevin got hit by a truck, but conveniently forget the millions of
animals whose habitat was destroyed as Wethersfield went from farms, forests
and wetlands, to suburbs stores and sprawl.[JA1]
What happened to Kevin? Some government
agency unceremoniously caught him, then took him out to a state forest about 40
miles away. They didn’t tell anyone the location either.

JOHNNY HUCKSTER
ROAD CAKE recipes &
More
From
the Druddité Ranger cookbook. The Greencake philosophy. The #1 Roadcake
recipe.
It’s the Apocalypse, right? You're rummaging through someone's kitchen in
order to find ingredients to make Greencakes. "Got no milk" the
citizen states to Johnnys first question. "Got sour cream and plain
yogurt, though."
Johnny
Huckster found a large bowl and fork. He grabbed the sour cream, yogurt and a
pint of fancy Italian Egg Whites. Normally, someone has some eggs, always seems
to be layin' hens somewhere. This wasn't the case. "Snap to it old man,
whatcha got for flour?"
"Well,
ma wife got that there organic oatmeal flour.” He said nervously pulling it out
from behind the cereal. “I got some newfangled mix from ma daughter for
Father's Day. Here it is, Dancing Deer Baking Company Pumpkin Spice mix.”
Johnny grabbed some sea salt and began mixing it all together.
“Don’t
mean to be harsh pops, but there’s a crowd building outside.” Grandpa Gallup
pulled back the kitchen curtains and saw a small crowd gathering around Johnny
Hucksters truck.
"Here
Pops, you stir, we need to adjust the mix, ya got any sugar?" said Johnny
rifling through the cabinets pulling out grapefruit fiber, brewers yeast and
very green vegetable protein powder. "Got any liquid sugar" the mix
was getting a little thick.
"Got
nothin' sweet there, lad. Don't got the urge no more." Johnny was getting
on his nerves. " I hope that is not a menacing look young man. You better
not be glowering at me."
"You
want to eat, you will help, instead of hinder. You have sugar somewhere, you
must!" The old man walked to the empty cookie jar and from behind it
pulled out a pint of maple syrup that he had survived on the last 5 days.
"Maple
Pumpkin Greencakes, virtually unsweetened." Johnny added. "I just
sold all my grease to the Biofuel Center, what have you got", he said
gruffly.
"Only
olive oil, my wife read in Readers Digest that……….. " Johnny
grabbed the bottle and went back outside and over to the grill in his
truck. He placed it all on a table he had set up and spooned out 30 pancakes.
On high to get it going, let's say 300 degrees and then keep it at 250 and with
this low temp you can attend to chores as you cook. A series of
frightening tornadoes destroyed power grids in the entire area and it had been
three weeks since stoves and refrigerators have worked in this particular
location. Grandpa Gallup had a freezing unit he was able to keep going with
self-generated fuel. People had reverted to ice boxes of different sorts to
keep food viable. Hence the sour cream and plain yogurt and foods that tend not
to spoil were still available. The Greencakes he was cooking should
survive sealed for three weeks.
The
old man had finally gotten to the truck. More people had smelled the cooking
and came over. "God bless you, Johnny Huckster" said the old man as
he bit into a Greencake. The last solid food he had was 5 days ago.
"Oatmeal flakes don't fill ya up, ya know?"
"Eat
'em as they are folks, barely sweetened Pumpkin Maple Greencakes." He said
as he began making another 30. Then he remembered the other ingredients to put
in his recipe diary. Originally, he soaked sunflower seeds and oatmeal in water
before adding to the mix he noted on the laptop. His solar truck had charged
batteries in reserve that were converted for minor electrical use.
As
the next 30 greencakes came off, someone had brought milk and sugar and another
person had organic pancake mix and he whipped up another bowl and was soon
sloppin' that on the griddle he ran off a solar charged battery. After three
weeks, many were waiting for a delivery of propane for their emergency
generators. The rumor was that the whole country is experiencing a fuel
shortage. Republican budget cuts have cut FEMA and other sources. The Red Cross
is overwhelmed with victims of the volcano and is not available to help.
In
2027 the Johnny Huxter concept was launched. That was the name all the drivers
used and the commercial catch phrase was, 'MOM! Johnny Huxter is here' . H is
The Fruit Man, the Shaklee salesman and the organic veggie dog vendor all
rolled into one. Setting up wherever they wanted to without permits, they would
point to a poster on the inside of the truck that said, "The First
Amendment is my permit!", if confronted by Johnny
Law.
RECIPE #2 biscuit grave
Johnny drives off after
feeding as many people as possible then he was off to the next abandoned home
or neighborhood. Nothing was to be bought. He found a home that
wasn’t destroyed in the 250 MPH tornadic winds of Hurricane Joey and found a way
in. With the electric off for three weeks, most of what they left in
the fridge wasn’t very good. He found a large Publix biscuit and an unopened
container of half and half in the freezer that didn’t smell bad. The bacon
grease seemed fine and there was about a half cup of sprouted wheat flour left
in a bag so he took the ingredients to his huckstermobile and turned on the
stove. Heat bacon grease gently and stir in flour and stir in as much flour as
needed. Add water, place on low and go check the cabinets. Bragg herbs and the
Seminole seasoning was a classy selection. cans galore. Mushroom soup he hates
mushrooms but would seem to add bulk to the biscuits and
gravy. Back at the truck he strained the mushrooms out of the soup and added to
the gravy then he soaked the biscuit in the mess and ate it. He added stuffing
mess to the gravy for a bulky snack for later. other ingredients were Alligator
Jacks alligator jerky that was only one year expired. Then add leftover
stuffing peas and corn.
RECIPE #3
PROTEIN CUPCAKES
built for survival
I enjoy making a shit
ton of pancakes and using them for food at work for a week. Now I want to make
something out of Protein Flour and Peanut Flour and Cocoa. Need to be firm for
travel but soft to eat. Got some almond milk so the only dairy I’ll use is
eggs. Avoiding sugar, I don’t need Twinkies, more like the survival cakes I’ve
made before. I got some dried citrus peels and Google says they are packed with
Vitamin C so let me get some soaking in something (1).
Soaking in a couple
tablespoons of cold coffee and Oatmilk. Time to add the eggs and sugar.
RECIPE # 4
THANKSGIVING EVENING MEAL
Like, fast all day, ya
know.
Except for the cook who
has to sample everything.
Have 20 tasting spoons
ready
First, we cut up an
onion. Oh did I tell you the circumstance?
On the run from
radiation, I’ve found a recently abandoned home site.
As soon as the winds
shifted, the family took off. They left the front door unlocked, presumably for
officials checking on the where abouts of citizens. So anyways, there was still
another two or three days that the radioactive cloud MIGHT head this way. This
house was just out of view.
So of course, there were
onions and two cast iron pans. Cut up a large white onion. The
electric was still on in this part of the county so I checked the fridge. There
was like, shortening but it had a lump of I cant believe its not butter in it.
So got the onions going with that.
There are some
olives, so we can run with that. Checked the pantry out in the garage.
Some Food Bank spaghetti had all crusty white and brown things on it so I threw
it out. There were only three boxes to use altogether out of 8 boxes. Shit can
get into a spaghetti box. It looked like it came from an airborne fungus or
something.
I like to cook spaghetti
in herbs. Just pour on the dried herbs. I used two or three a lot, you’ll be
draining it later so who cares. It hydrates the herbs some and some of it
sticks to spaghetti. Lots of Italian seasoning, gavonne. “AHHHH. WHAT
ARE THESE LITTLE BLACK THINGS!!! Oh yeh, fergot.
Meanwhile I added some
orange sauce to the onions. Love orange sauce so glad they have some. Looking
at the olives there was half a jar of whole green ones and two thirds a jar of
diced ones with the pimentos. A whole unopened can in the kitchen
pantry!
So I drained the
spaghetti, always save some of the water because I will continue to heat the
spaghetti. Any added water boils off leaving only flavor. Two half
jars of expensive tomato sauce, I don’t recognize the name. Pour the
tomato sauce out and then I add a little water to what’s left of the tomato
sauce and shake the remaining contents with the water and all. And remember the
spaghetti is always as close to al dente as possible. You have to watch
spaghetti. 7 minutes, not 14.
There was a large packet
of taco sauce I added needing a bit more tomato sauce. It was barely enough. I
had to add some more orange sauce and of course this is why we cook the onions
in lard and a lot of “Shake Tasty” salty herb seasoning mix. Still a lot of goo
so we scoop out about two thirds of the onions leaving behind the goo and the
last third. Cut the second onion up and throw it in the goo with the
translucent flavorful older ones. The second onion gets cooked till they are
just barely crunchy, THEN add some of this second onion to the spaghetti.
Did I forget an
ingredient? Probably. lets get a sample and see what it tastes like. One half
jar of sauce was marinara the other was a half can or roasted garlic. At the
very end I add the Green and Black Olives (love that) and shut it off allowing
moisture to seep into the Olives.. Most of the Busghetti was broken into two to
three inch pieces so it’s much easier to eat I think.
Oh, look at this.
Someone hid some Irish Butter in the back of the fridge! This inspires me to
get the frozen loaf of Sourdough bread and put it in the toaster. Delightful. I
like the toast. Mmmm, something to make me hungry.
The taste test reveals
wow.,. flavor galore. A tiny sting as an after taste. You see, I found a packet
that said seasoning. Something that someone didn’t use the package was open
already and I poured it out when I started the onions. Then I took a sample and
realized I made a mistake. It seemed to be hotter than I liked. So I got a
large spoon and scooped 80% of it out. Reminds me to check
everything completely before going in.
When you’re pulling
leftovers together for a recycled thanksgiving or you be making breakfast on
the run, you still have to check every step of the way. Salt is another one
that can ruin a meal. After a big dose of busghetti, go out side and do some
manly activity or another. Lay some pavers or something.
For second breakfast
I’ll be preparing hot dogs and beans. I found three cooked hot dogs with grill
marks on them from a special cast iron pan. So I gently warm up the skillet and
cut the hot dogs into the size I like them. Add orange sauce on top
of the dogs and add some greasy onion mix that is still cooking in the other
cast iron pan.
Let the dogs singe a
bit. I wanted to add Black Beans which is my fave, but they had two
kinds. Red Kidneys and some other one I didn’t look at the label
close. Actually, there was one pull tab can of black beans so I
stowed it in my supply bag. The other beans turned out to be refried
beans. So, what would refried beans do to a Hot Dog and Beans recipe? Make it
saucier, that’s what. Just two giant scoops, I’ll leave the rest of the
refried contents for something else.
Second breakfast can be
the most important meal of the day. Hot Dogs and beans and onions got you
going. Take out the snowmobile and raise hell somewhere while I slow cook
lunch. The last third of the onions and a good deal of the original grease in
the round cast iron was turned on again. I added some liquid I don’t remember
now. Just water? Put some baby carrots in with the onions and got
some liquid out of the can of Garbanzos zi opened du crème. This takes a while.
I just cook it on low low as possible, so I can go outside and throw axes or
something.
Oh, and whenever I can,
I add some Key Lime Juice in many of these spontaneous meals. What a lucky
find. I keeps some in a cool bag … which reminds me… get my blue ice
in the freezer while I can. I like to add Key Lime Juice to water and voila! No
scurvy. Zoot alors!
Is it high fat I dwell
on, not exactly low calorie Orange Sauce? I haven’t added any butter
since the beginning with the onions. I used watered down tomato sauce to
slow-cook all the flavors together. I only used the Irish Butter for the opening
toast. The hunger maker. I used kidney bean sauce that was pretty
thick as the watery stretcher. Use the whole can. Pour out watery bean stuff in
a can and keep the creamy stuff. All helps with the added flavor of slow
cooking. Hot dog and beans cooked over an hour on very low. Carrots and
Garbanzos cooked for two hours on very low. Even the busghetti was slowly kept
warm for half an hour to let the flavors mingle.
So as the lumberjacks
stroll in for lunch, I cook some cauliflower noodles or some shit. Someone
pretending to eat healthy, I guess but it’s just pasta. Some food bank tuna I
found in the garage is still good. So mac salad with tuna and some Dukes Mayonnaise
of course cools it down. Maybe add a smidge of Irish Butter. The Garbs and rots
and yuns was already cooled off so we add them altogether.
Garbazos Carrots
Macaroni Walnut Oil Shake Tasty Herb Mix Greasy Onions and Dukes Mayonnaise.
Oh, and the diced Olives. There. Now you have a whole meal in a big bowl. A big
lunch means a long hike to burn off some calories and some cannabis for the
walk back. Yoga in the mid afternoon. It’s Thanksgiving, a
traditional day for anarchists to use leftovers and
So we have busghetti,
carrots from the garbanzo mix and beans and dogs in a three section sealable
container and that gets saved for later. Could be four or five days before I
have to evacuate again. That is going to make a hearty meal to go in
a rush. The wind is going to change direction one of these days but meanwhile
hope you had a good Thanksgiving.

-7-6- EXTINCTION
EVENT Here
comes artificial intelligence(AI) like a comet headed for earth. The white
collar world is worried because they are supposed to be the specialists when it
comes to derivative content and AI is going to supplant them.
The great inventions of this country came out
of the garages and workshops of Americans, not the board rooms of corporations
where the destruction of American small business was planned.
. So here’s a chance for gardeners to
shine. Bring people back to what is real. Grow for real. Not just for color and
design. Now people are posting plants they think are real but they are
photoshops.
I mean, I saw Arnold Schwarzenegger singing “Somewhere Over the Rainbow”
from the Wizard of Oz on a reel. Slightly out of tune, it’s a comedy bit with
Arnolds face seamlessly replacing Judy Garlands. The future will be about
discerning what is real and what is not. You’ll see. Plants are real and people
getting back to nature and this will start to draw people away from excesses of
tech.
I was the dude who didn’t want to own a microwave and so I get my chance
to use the AI chatbot or whatever it’s called. I was thinking maybe I should
boycott this AI stuff but there is no avoiding it.
What do you want to find out about I
was asked?
I asked the robot that will soon take over the
world,
“write me a essay on weeds, wildflowers and soil health for
the central florida ecosystem.”
Then badda bing, there it was. Like I told my
friend it would have taken me a week to create and edit something like this. I
thought the robot answer was rather concise with a nuanced compassion for
nature. Here it is. I use triple quotation marks to denote it is derivative
content conjured up by AI.
“””The Central
Florida ecosystem is home to a diverse range of plant and animal species, with
weeds and wildflowers playing a crucial role in the health of the soil and the
overall ecosystem.
Weeds, often thought of as nuisances,
actually have important ecological functions. They help to prevent soil
erosion, control pests, and provide habitat for beneficial insects and other
organisms. Weeds also have deep root systems that help to break up compacted
soil and increase water infiltration, which can be especially important in
Florida's sandy soils that are prone to erosion and water runoff.
Wildflowers, on the other hand, are
not only beautiful to look at, but they also provide important habitat for
pollinators such as bees and butterflies. Pollinators play a crucial role in
maintaining the health of ecosystems by helping to pollinate plants and ensure
the production of fruits and seeds. Without pollinators, the entire food chain
would be disrupted, affecting everything from birds to humans who rely on
pollinated crops for food.
In addition to providing habitat for
pollinators, wildflowers also help to improve soil health. Their deep root
systems help to hold soil in place, prevent erosion, and improve soil
structure, allowing for better water retention and nutrient uptake by plants.
They also help to increase biodiversity by providing food and habitat for a
variety of insects, birds, and other wildlife.
Soil health is critical for the
overall health of the ecosystem. Healthy soil is essential for plant growth and
can help to mitigate climate change by storing carbon. By promoting the growth
of weeds and wildflowers, we can help to improve soil health and create a more
resilient and sustainable ecosystem in Central Florida.
However, it's important to note that
not all weeds and wildflowers are beneficial. Invasive species, such as
Brazilian pepper and cogon grass, can have devastating effects on the ecosystem
by outcompeting native plants and disrupting the food chain. It's important to
properly identify and manage these invasive species to prevent their spread and
minimize their impact on the ecosystem.
In conclusion, weeds and wildflowers
play a critical role in the health of the soil and the overall ecosystem in
Central Florida. By promoting the growth of these plants, we can improve soil
health, provide habitat for pollinators, and increase biodiversity. However,
it's important to properly manage invasive species to prevent their negative
impact on the ecosystem. By working together to promote a healthy and
sustainable ecosystem, we can ensure a bright future for Central Florida's
unique and valuable natural resources.”””

-7-6- DR KURTZ 2559
Back in 1970, I began writing as a hobby after a
short-lived movie career (I was Gronk in
"Return of the Snorf". )
With my good friend Pete, we had an underground newspaper he
cleverly NAMED, The Truffle. There were
also many belly laughs while we were making up skits with Steve as we did our
paper routes or walked to school. Kevin
my next door neighbor, collaborated with me on reel to reel tape. The most
memorable of which was when we pretended that we were co-anchors for the
Chicago Convention of 68, with many goofy interviews and bizarre
characters. We ended up erasing over it
for new material. Regret on that one.
So many running jokes, smoky cellars, sidecars
and 411's with Tom and Fitz. In recent
years, I want to thank Jack and Jane for their helpful advice as I conclude my
stealth acknowledgements on page 198. In high school, a dude named Kurt
Griffith and I had a gag we did in study hall, with a character called Dr.
Kurts. Dr. Kurts was the rudest scientist ever, and I had a couple pages in the
archives. A drunken, irresponsible 70 +, with expert opinions on any scientific
topic, he rises again like a zombie.
THE MIDKNIGHT SHOW 2083
"Mommy, does Dr Kurtz really control the
weather?"
Dr Kurts has always been
politically, culturally, and philosophically incorrect, and for decades,
children have been mesmerized by his magnetic personality and insulting manner
on his local TV and and national radio shows.
In 1970, shortly after the moon landing, Science was eagerly looking
forward to the time when genes could be manipulated to "benefit
mankind". Most of us however, were skeptical.
Kurt Griffith and I wrote this in 11th grade study hall in 1971.
Let's go forward to the year is
2074 and there are all kinds of hybrid mutants running loose in the
countryside, living side effects and escapees of genetic experiments.
Our story begins as the Smith family was coming back from a month long
stay at a lake in New Jersey, near Brickton Township. The Smiths had been on
the highway for more than 10 hours, headed for their home in North Wilburville,
Maine. The three young children were yelping and a long afternoon nap had their
energy level high.
"When are we gonna get home?" cried little Enard Smith in
horrific despair.
"We seem to be lost kids, but don't worry, we'll get home." Dad
Smith said wearily. They had crossed the Maine border and Dad tried a shortcut
he knew, and was now lost. Leaving at
8:30 a.m., they hoped to be in their home by 9:00 at night and now it was
nearly midnight.
Dale Smith angrily told her husband, "You're a real jerk, you know
that, for getting us lost, "she said as she fidgeted frightfully. They
were distracted by a dark circular object that caught their attention and Mrs.
Smith said, "slow down….something in the road." Was it a shopping
bag? Maybe something fell off a truck and had bounced into their lane. Mother
Smith pushed her kids back into their seats and yelped to her husband,
"……you're going to hit it. It's a mutant,
the Flying Duck Billed Platypus !
Brakes…You idiot!"
Dad Smith slowed down and said, "Watch this." He then pushed
the accelerator roughly to the floor. THUMP THUMP was all they heard.
The children jumped for joy because they knew that irresponsible gene
splicing had produced mutants, scary creatures that escaped from labs and it
was good form to kill them before they started breeding. There was now a bounty on all GMM's
(Genetically Modified Monsters) and everyone was hunting them.
The family shared a robust laugh and Mrs. Smith smiled and said,
"You're too much." She sighed, greatly relieved. They'd get home
sooner or later, and they needed a laugh to lighten up the angry atmosphere
created by their impatience and longing for home.
"Hey!" Dad interjected and interrupted. "It's 12 midnight.
The MidKnight Show is on and guess who is one of the guests? That crazy old
dude, Dr. Kurtz, the local kids show host that lives downtown. He is tonights
guest. Turn on that radio!"
The show was just starting and after a quick opening monologue, Jerry
Schmucox went into his first segment and Dad pointed to a sign. "There it
is. Wilburville in 30 miles, we're almost home."
They all listened to the show and Jerry Schmucox began, "Yesterday a
milestone in genetic history was reached. Dr. Kurts has successfully mated the
rutabaga and a bagel. Our reporter obtained this interview earlier in the
day."
“The first genetically engineered vegetable and bakery product to
come alive in a test tube was created in Dr. Kurts's secret laboratory, at 455
Main St. on the fifth floor; third door down on the right. The one with the
real loose door handle.”
"Hi Jerry, I'm here talking to Dr. Bowell J. Kurts to ask the
question on everybodys mind. Sir, why
did you do it?"
"Well, ah had a friend who liked ta eat rutabagers and bagels at the
same time, but of course you know that's impossible. Ayah. So ah set out to
find the answer…that was 39 years ago on my 37th birthday. Or was that 37 years
ago on my 39th birthday?"
"How did you mate them Dr. Kurts?"
Well, ah put a rutabager and a bagel in a test tube and they really went
at it. Why, they broke hunnerd test tubes before I had them mate in a steel
pipe. Finally, I walked home and let them stay overnight in the lab."
He continued," Soooo, the next day, I opened the door and all kinds
of these new hybrids came a-runnin' after me, even flying at me. They was jumpin' up and down and playin' all
kind'sa games I never seen before.
They was shoutin' obscenities and watchin' mah color TV; drinkin' all mah beer
and smokin' all mah ceegars."
"This behavior was fine and I like a good party like anyone else,
but when they started eatin' ma equipment I became enraged. 'Git in Yer Cages' I yelled as loud as I
could, but they jumped out the winders instead; and three flights down is a
killer for a vegetable and bread product based genetic hybrid. All that was
left of my experiment was rutabager mash. Ho Ho. Ayah."
"But Dr. Kurts, we're on the 5th floor here in your secret
lab."
"Son, I'm good at equations and theories not mere numbers."
"Professor Kurts, what are you going to do now?"
"Goin' back doin' what I do best.; planning tomorrows weather."
The Smiths all laughed at Dr. Kurts usual madness and Mrs. Smith
announced, "The weather WAS very
nice today," she said winking at Mr. Smith. It was a gag parents had with
little children kind of like Santa Claus, " if you're not a good boy, I'll
have Dr Kurts rain on your birthday party." A mythical figure with super
powers.
"Mommy…… does Dr Kurts really control the weather?" Enard asked again from the back seat. She
shushed the children so they could hear the show.
They drove down the road feeling lighthearted and at ease when little
Abelard Smith spotted something out the window.
He poked his sister and pointed.
"It won't be much longer and the children would be sleeping in
their beds" she whispered to her husband when they went by the Wilburville
20 miles sign.
"Quiet, quiet, "said Mrs. Smith when the show came back from
commercial, and the announcer was saying, "Dr. Kurts Nature Corner for
Children. Today, Dr. Kurts is having a Q&A at the Atlanta Seaquarium. Take
it away, Professor."
"Today we are going to discuss the Sea Aardvark. First are there any
questions?"
"Dr. Kurts, where does a Sea
Aardvark come from?"
"You dumb little twerp!
Everyone knows they come from aquatic cabbage leaves. Okay any other
moronic questions?"
Editor: remember this was 1971 and Cabbage Patch dolls had yet to make
their appearance.
The kids all laughed because they know that yelling at children is one of
Dr. Kurtz's gags and they loved it. The
next question was, "Do Sea Aardvarks make any sounds?"
Dr. Kurts gave the child a milk curdling stare and yelled, "You
grungy little sea slime; don't any of you know anything?" he said as he
looked around the area in front of the Sea Aardvark tank. "Of course they
can't talk. Can you talk underwater? Sheeesh."
Another child piped up, "But scientists say whales and dolphins
communicate?" she countered as the Sea Aardvark floated menacingly behind
Dr Kurtz.
"Well I don't think that's any of our business, and don't you listen
to any of those crackpot scientists. There ain't many of us worth our
salt these days."
"Yes, next question. Any subject, any topic. You! Go ahead. Challenge me, I can answer any
question."
Competing hands were raised but he had pointed to one child who asked,
"Not long ago, I saw a bird with 4 foot orange wings, two of them coming
out of his tail. Three beaks, seven heads and plants growing out of its face.
What kind of bird was it?"
He gave a serious look to the audience and strategically gave this
answer. "According to your description, it may be one of two species.
Perhaps it was the Mountain Neck Bluebeak;
I would really have to see a picture or video or something to truly
know. However, I am more inclined to
think it was a Goggle-eyed Goggle Google. Either way, I advise you to run like
Hell next time and leave scientific observations to the scientists."
When they went to a commercial
Mommy Smith looked in the back seat to figure out what the commotion was,
"Enard and Abelard! Git yer heads back in the car. What is in your hand
outside the window?"
"Nuthin'"
In the next instant, a Flying Duck billed Platypus was frantically
flapping in the back seat. "Roy! Pull over…one of the mutants is in the
back seat!" In less than another
second, Daddy Smith rolled down the
window and then grabbed the mutant platypus
as Mrs. Smith grabbed the wheel and drove.
After flinging it out the window he calmly asked, "Geez, you guys.
You didn't have enough fun at the cabin?" The kids, always eager for
mischief, shrugged their shoulders. Up ahead a ground level flock of the GMM
Flying Duck Bills was sloppily flying just above the car. In their own mindless
way, these creatures were trying not to get hit, yet oddly attracted to moving
vehicles like Love Bugs. Bink! One hit
the side of the car HARD.
The parents conferred quietly, "I'm a little worried about this
Dale," Dad said as he got out his handgun and flipped the safety with his
thumb.
"Don't let the kids see you sweat," she whispered, and then
pointed in the road at five things standing there. Dad slowed the car to a crawl and aimed.
Just as they stopped, Daddy Smith said, "hey kids, look at your old
dad. Left handed!" BLAM BLAM BLAM. "Kill 5 birds with 3 stones, not
bad. Or… a bird in the hand is….Hey! Dad has a request, I just remembered
something." They drove around the
bodies then got back up to a normal speed.
"My favorite Dr. Kurts episode.
I want to hear the Dr. Kurts episode about the KIKI Birds. Someone do a
search, would ya." He loved his 2029
F-250, and every seat had its own screen and online access.
In seconds it was playing on the screen. "
Welcome to Vanishing! Species! Geopathic! featuring esteemed professor and
scientist, Dr. Bowell J Kurts. Today he discusses the immortal, or seemingly
so,…the amazing … the inimitable, Kiki Bird; a rare species that is only found
in central Quebec Canada near the St James Bay."
The camera cut away to Dr. Kurts. "The Kiki bird is, of course, the
unfortunate genetic hybrid of a Kiwi bird and an ostrich and a Penguin. The, uh. Kiki Bird has thick feathers and is
able to live in sub zero temperatures."
"These feathers are not used for flying, but to protect themselves
from the tribe of Amerioque Hosers that go up there to feast and gorge
themselves on the delicious Kiki during the summer. Those ugly and disgusting, post-apocalyptic,
snot gobbling, feather ripping humans, completely gorge on the Kiki." Pausing
briefly he continued, “Luckily for the Kiki bird, there is only a short hunting
season at the end of July. Unlike most
GMM's, the Kiki's meat is prized. Far better than chicken and weighing 300 pounds,
this is one of the few species taken out of the crosshairs of eradication and
into the kitchens of international chefs."
Dr Kurtz continued saying, "The young Kiki is hatched from a five
foot egg and we presume that this is also why there are so few of them left in
the wild, and very very few females left in the wild. After an exhausting birth, the female passes
out temporarily and the male covers the egg with snow and dead hosers. In 3
months a deranged, but otherwise healthy KIKI emerges."
Then the camera did a close up on his face as he sincerely pleaded to the
audience, "Help me, would you, " Dr Kurtz's plaintive glazed gaze
stared out of the screen, " Help me
save them marvelous creatures…won't you? Our Save A KIKI Fund may be the tether that keeps them from
extinction." He paused dramatically, " Or it may be the window that
we watch them disappear. "
Every age spot filled the screen
with an extreme close-up. He had poked
his eye off camera to get a tear rolling down. "Please don't let them go
extinct," and the tear cascaded down his face.
"Send fifty dollars a week to the address you see on your screen.
For the visually impaired, here is the address. I'll wait till you get a
pencil. It's Dr. Kurts care of (c/o) Joes Bar & Grill 33, 33rd Street.
Postal Zone 3. North Wilburville Maine. "
The moderator said, "Dr Kurts will send you a picture of your
underprivileged KIKI along with a colorful progress chart." Then they cut to a commercial.`
The Smiths were on the highway just outside of town where the swamps were
reported to be haunted. Almost there! More Flying Duck Bills were visible in
the brighter street lights as they approached Wilburville. Then the dark cloud came into view and Mrs.
Smith said, "there's thousands of them!" and it became very dark that
moon lit night.
The cloud approached, a few fly by and then began furiously splattering
against the windshield. Soon, out of every window, the snarling monsters could
be seen. Abelard the oldest, rolled down his window and grabbed one and beat it
on the back of the front seat as they all shared a good belly laugh. As they
were roaring with laughter Dad Smith said loudly, "If were gonna die, at
least we'll go down laughing!!!""
Then the car stalled and the windows began breaking and a vicious attack
commenced.
Dr Kurtz was one way we could discuss some of the dangers of genetic
manipulation, and you may have noticed the entire chapter is concerned with
genetic engineering, and what we imagined for the future. Now with GMO's, we
have become too close to this becoming a reality.

SOME SAY
My only
worry is that the aliens will be republicans. They will feel no remorse dumping
all their waste from their 10 year flight directly into our oceans.
The aliens will tell us, "China does it too so what
the heck and Japan has radiated the Pacific from the leaking Fukushima Nuclear
Plant. " Aliens will pop the top of every “capped” underwater well and let
the oil leak out in order to kill the oceans and all watersheds eventually.
These
alien republicans will package us, E coli anti depressants and all, as
wholesome wholesale human meat to the ET sausage company back on the home
planet. “Fresh from Earth! Anus-free boneless liberal nuggets.!”
They
will line their ships with all the worlds gold and silver and tell us, “It’s
not about working hard, but working smart.”
Human
mothers will all be crowded together in giant warehouses to produce milk for
the home planet, while babies will live in a small cages and be grown like
veal.
The old
and feeble will be pushed off cliffs. Enforced submission will be called
“respect”. The Pagan statue known as the statue of Liberty will be blown up and
the District of Columbia will be called the District of Walmart. All media will
be illegal except copies of the Alien Overlords book and movie called, “How we
created everything and we hear your every thought.”
All
tractors will be destroyed and earthlings will only be allowed to eat insects,
unless of course, we are being fattened up to be anus-free, boneless liberal
nuggets.

=7=8-= NON-PROFIT
BANKING
With the exception of
Alexander Hamilton, the American Founding Revolutionaries greatly feared a
central banking system.
Imagine
all the work involved in building a house with all the different contractors;
and compare this to a banker who makes the same amount of money with
a click of a mouse. They make as much money as the builder and all the
contractors PUT TOGETHER!
Amazingly,
I hear no one trying to reform this system.
It's all pure profit for the Banksters, since they don’t need tools or trucks
to move and install their product, like roofers, electricians or landscapers.
They don't even need stagecoaches anymore like they did when banking was
dangerous. It’s the elephant in the room that everyone is intensely trained to
avoid. Well; we rationalize, we signed a contract and nothing could get done
without the money involved in a loan, right? People tell me this and I
think “what servile chumps they must be not to call out this gangsterish . It’s
part of our gritty reality, that banks can make these outrageous, engorged and
fully ripened profits, and too bad for families and homeowners, who pay at
least five times more interest than they should. Did we forget, "Authority
is derived from the free consent of the people"? I'm outraged that people
retreat with their tails between their legs against these bankster crooks who
make the Mafia look like bumbling amateurs.
The tea party protestors don’t seem to notice this robbery out in broad
daylight, and Faux news doesn’t see it either because they are too busy
inspiring brave individuals who are urinating on Islamic prayer rugs and
telling everyone else they are going to Hell.
Was
it President Andrew Jackson that said bankers were
nothing but a den of vipers, or was that Jesus? In the 1830’s Andrew Jackson
managed to eliminate the National Debt while calling the entire banking system,
‘A pit of vipers’. Or was it Jesus that called the bankers, "a Den of
Vipers", I can't recall. Andrew Jackson was determined to get these
parasitical leeches off the life blood of the country. With the exception of
Alexander Hamilton, the founding fathers greatly feared a central banking system
that would feed upon the healthy commerce of an emerging nation.
I have an idea for a
new kind of banking company that would charge a true 10 percent, and it would
break even. This new bank would loan you 100,000 dollars, and you pay back
110,000. It's as simple as that, and the question is, how much would the paperwork
cost with nonprofit banking? Every loan Banking executive would make less
money in this system, because it would be a slimmed down operation that would
handle this loan. HERE’S YOUR NEW SQAURE DEAL!
And happy people
with refinanced mortgages, interest deleted from college loans or car loans for
cars over ten years old. Someone has been paying off that car loan. Along with
payments for everything else from laptops to refrigerators, would be reduced 10
to 60 percent. A stimulus program the government
doesn’t have to pay for. Non-profit banking would
reconfigure all the loans to 10% of the remaining balance, and bill
accordingly. It's not that people can't afford the items they get on
credit, it's the interest paid, that weighs down consumers. They
don’t have to charge that kind of interest. Period. Give these fucks some
non-profit competition.
The basis of the common 30 year Home loan is the institutionalized price
gouging, the front loading of ten years of interest right at the start, so
capital doesn’t get paid down for a long time. With this non-profit 10% system
I am suggesting, it becomes a 20 year loan instead of 30 with a house. There
has been a smash and grab robbery of the middle class by the banking class
system and its why people won’t feel guilty about taxing wealth. Once people
understand. A hundred thousand dollar loan to most people ends up as 200,000
dollars of total payments when you add in the accumulated interest and ten
extra years of payments.
Another horror of this anachronistic system to me is the fact that the interest
is almost all front loaded, so people refinancing with lower rates end up
paying for the principal twice. I fell for that scheme.
This is really a crime, and we have allowed it. Legalized theft, I don't see
what else you can call it. They penalize us like law enforcement with
these late fees, LIKE WE ARE SPEEDING OR RUNNING A RED LIGHT. They have these
supernatural rights beyond any individual and they get bailed out, to
boot. This is the corrupt white-collar class robbing you in broad
daylight and Glenn Beck wants to talk about restoring honor to America. Wake
the fuck up conservatives.
One day a child is born and a father puts a couple of hundred dollars into a
savings account for the child and years later, when he goes to move the money
to a CD, he finds the account empty due to “inactivity fees.” The population
has been screwed in many ways like this. 50 billion dollars in overdrawn
charges in 2013. If I was in Congress I would propose a ten dollar limit to all
fees, everywhere. Banking is rich in corruption and are the true drag on the
economy but the billionaires have managed to brainwash people thinking that the
poor hold us poor.
So clear, so plain, and
these reasonably priced loans I suggest, could be such a stimulus package for
50 million struggling American home owners---why is no one discussing this?
Nonprofit loans could be very popular. In my case, I could pay off my house loan
and save 75,000 dollars in interest payments if I could get a loan like this.
Many millions can feel closer to owning their
home.
Very importantly, the evil
Bankers use these gouged profits to buy up and accumulate land and buildings
and assets as tax write offs, while investing in companies that pollute our
waterways and contaminate the groundwater. Mother Nature loses with
every turn of the wheel. When we’re ready to rise up, it will be sweet to see.
Bankers financed the
brutal western expansion of the United States, and therefore sponsored the
silent slaughter of most of North Americas precious fauna. Beavers and mink
turned into fur. Wolves extirpated in state after state to raise sheep. Rivers
dammed and streams gutted and lakes polluted, as America was recklessly
bulldozing nature. Money doesn't grow on trees, it is trees. The cheap homes of
the 50's and 60's that the Greatest Generation sold for 10 times as much during
real estate booms, led to the demise of southern forests.
Americas Corporate legacy
will not age well in the history books. AS toxic sites are cleaned up, I see
activists archiving the corporate activity that led to cases of toxic
pollution. Time to stop polluting and let's break down all these toxic wastes.
Chemicals combining underground even create a new substance. Dioxin is
frequently created by 2 bad chemicals mixed together. This toxic brew needs to
be cleaned up, not encouraged.
What’s the reality here? You are trained to not be aware of rapacious,
gangrenous, oozing greed as it haunts your life with payments that are far
higher than necessary. It seems wrong, but don't think about it! You are raised
with the double brush brainwashing of worshiping authority and shaped by the
greatest generations' mantra, "you can't stop progress". Seniors look
in dismay at their CD, and see a .083% interest, and remember the time in their
youth when they got 5% with their savings accounts. Even to them, it is
apparent the banksters have found many schemes for accumulating their fortunes
but they are resigned to make a token objection now and then. Today we
have arbitrary late charges that are really not earned, but more like civil
fines, than business between two adults.
To hear Andrew
Jackson put it, “If the people only understood the rank injustice of our money
and banking system, there would be a revolution by the morning.” Shame on all
you people, worried about the ‘ground zero mosque’, and gay marriage.
You were right Jesus, bankers are evil, and thanks Andrew Jackson, for the
worthy effort you made during your presidency, eliminating the federal debt
owed to bankers. I know he is despised for being a genocidal maniac but we are
talking about corrupt banking here,
Here is how non profit
banking would work. A Non-profit banking company, loans your hard working
family 100 thousand dollars with 10 percent interest. A real ten percent, a
non-usurious 10 %, an authentic, stripped down, no bullshit loan. 100,000 is
lent and 110,000 is paid back. How much paperwork is needed in this computer
streamlined world? For Gods sake, give these lending institutions some
competition.
Non-profit
banking is not socialism. It's common sense.
New England Rainbow
-7-9- RIVER RAT
Here are some of my Connecticut job
experiences.
Looking for a New Englandy place to
live in 1984, after living in Tucson for six years, I went to the Boston area
first. I got pulled over by a cop trying to find my way around a tight little
neighborhood in Boston in my search for a home and the only way out was going
the wrong way on a one way street… and there’s a cop. I talked my way out of it
and went on for a quieter town between there and Salem.
Then I realized that maybe Vermont,
New Hampshire and Massachusetts were far from the people we knew, and Enfield
Connecticut was quite New Englandy in its own way with its old houses and farm
stands. At the end of April I had been at Norms for two weeks. They spent a
month or something in Cape Cod and I was house sitting which, all in all, was a
pretty cool transition to New England. Taking care of Freddy the dog and
shepherding the arrival of Dickens and Rocky, our cats.
I applied at Tarnow
Nursery which was down the road about a half a mile and got a job. Minimum wage
had risen to $3.35 an hour and despite a pretty good horticultural resume by
this point, I started at $3.50. Owner John was a well-known skinflint as I
found out from his nieces Nancy and Susan who had set up the nursery the
previous fall and ran the place. He barely paid them 4 an hour to run the
place, and they were kin.
There’s that pattern emerging that
most guys wanted to be millionaires. The nursery owner probably became a
millionaire eventually, on the backs of 100, mostly dedicated young people of
course. As did Tom Collins in later years with lots of turnover and probably
1000 employees at Captain Hirams. As did the owners of Rock City leaving 500
disgruntled employees in their wake at least.
Joe from Springfield came along at
Tarnow Nursery and he was a young, but old looking, college grad and he became
the boss and Susan and Nancy went back to the main store to work, except
weekends when Joe was off, and they were the bosses. We spent a lot of time
talking on the weekends and there was quite a bunch of interesting kids that
came through that summer. That was a good crew.
At 32, I was the oldest at the jobsite
and should have been well on my way to a capitalist career and accumulating
assets and investing for retirement, but I wasn’t buying into this system. I
had learned quite a bit about plants the previous four years with the mall and
caretaker job, and I quickly learned about Connecticuts favorite plants.
I thought I had quite a good sales
approach and we were taught to handle two customers and go between them while,
you know, keeping the elbows and ankles flying when Joe was there. I started by
being a loader and met many of the Enfield people who frequented the store who
lauded the variety of the plants. This was no vegetable stand with plants, it
was a slick professionalism that people like, and Tarnows quickly became
Enfields favorite nursery.
The end of the summer came, and it was
pumpkins and fall decorations and selling the fall planting concept. The kids
went back to college and I became the main sales person (except when that lazy
guinea schlub from the Main store worked there). He was lazy as fuck and
immediately had an effect on productivity. By November, Michelle ran the
Christmas shop and I was the everything else person. She was sharp and knew how
to please the little old ladies buying Christmas fluff.
So my first winter since 1977-8 was
set to arrive. We came back to experience the seasons, right? My partner and I
had moved to the Thompsonville section of Enfield, and it was like a slice of
Boston, a dose of “Southy” that had dropped down in the Connecticut River
Valley.
There was Ragnos where they served the
food I had missed out in Arizona. A little further away was the best Polish
Deli I had ever hoid. Our daughter was born and then baptized at the ancient
gothy church down the street. A little further down the street, a Norman
Rockwell Christmas emerged at Freshwater Pond when the ice froze.
It was exciting and I realized at this
point that I had truly created my own path. My peers were buying houses and
working in cubicles, but I decided to carve my own path. I was creating my own
horticultural college experience in a pull up your bootstraps way.
There was Tiny’s Little criminal
enterprise next door in a pool hall and a host of characters living in 8
rentals in two large houses. Add loose soap opera here.
I bought some choice little evergreens
and had planted them on the side of the house. Rocky and Dickens would run up
the steps to come in because the back steps were missing. I was planting in
this grey dust they called soil and people were digging it. “Looks good” said
local murderer Wilmer Paradise.
My partner was working downtown, and I
went to the local employment agency to find another job when I got laid off
after Christmas. When you make peanuts, the unemployment was very minimal and a
couple weeks before Valentines day I got a job with a wholesale Greenhouse.
Former Ball Seed Vice President Peter
Stanley was one of the most manic people I’d ever met. He had reconstructed two
440 foot greenhouses and was striking out on his own with his patented concept
called Jet Plugs. Instead of the usual 75 cent plugs these were much smaller
and only about 35 cents if I recall, so that was 40 cents a plant profit. I
learned the long road from producer to purchaser.
One day running between greenhouses I
caught the top of my head on a round eyehook. Shouldn’t have torn my head open
since it wasn’t sharp in any way, but that was a trip to the emergency clinic
and 13 stitches. My nickname was Zipperhead for a while.
So there I was off to a new job in
early February with the temperature around 10 degrees and a dry wicked wind was
blowing so it felt like it was well below zero and I was reminded of one of the
reasons I moved to Arizona. It was COLD! Everything was frozen and the loading
dock area looked to be abandoned with 4’x4’ flattened boxes blowing around and
other litter was being blown around. I was looking for a job here? It looked
like a disaster area.
Peter was short on employees and this
was his problem. So he hired me on at $4.25 an hour which was 25% more than I
was making at Tarnow Nursery. An employee was walkie talkied to come and give
me an orientation. She was one of those tall Nordic women who cursed very
fluently. We got on pretty good, I was always monogamous, so there was never
sexual tension with the female co-workers.
In the world of
capitalism, men are sheltered from the minorities and they were the bosses of
the women and this is why so much sexism remains. You treat a woman like a
dude, and they respond in kind. At the mall I also talked with dozens of the
employees from every demographic. I reject the notion that I “don’t know how to
communicate”. At Tarnow Nursery I met practically everyone in town who came to
check out the place. I had the gift of gab when I was younger. I spent the
entirety of the 80's meeting people. 9 different jobs 9 different
experiences.
I don’t remember the flaxen haired
Valkyries name but she walked me to the first Greenhouse and it was a moment
like no other. People with glasses know how they fog up in changing conditions.
Ten below zero with a wicked wind chill and it was like Dorothy opening the
door to the colors of Oz.
Tropical plants as far as the eye
could see and a temperature to match. Plants poised for the Valentines Day
sales. Here was a new experience to jump into, fer sure. Many tales I will
relate later and just one to keep the flow. Bosses such as Jim the asshole came
along and White Knight Dwight from out of state was a hired gun and a
spectacular dude. No college for him either and he was older than me and had a
wide variety of job experiences. He and his friend from Pittsburgh completely
refurbished the existing greenhouses and brought another one into service.
When all was said and done, our little
family moved to the field office of Consolidated Cigar that Dwight and Marian
had p reviouslylived in. There was always a boss over me, and they all got
fired or quit and I was a constant for Stanley Greenhouses and now lived across
the street in the cutest little white house you ever saw.
Summer of 86 with my first biological
child who was a fun little baby and it was an exciting time. I believe the wife
quit her job to be a mommy since I was putting in 60 hours a week and making
enough. A typical day would have me at 7:00 walking over to begin venting
around 15,000 sq. ft. of greenhouse.
By then the Weather Channel had become
the bomb, and I would vent accordingly, depending on that days conditions.
Rolling carts waited on the very large loading dock and sometimes I took a
smaller truck and loaded from the greenhouse. Then I would drive and deliver
for ten hours going to Mattapan or Poughkeepsie or over Mt Adams with a ton of
wet plants. I’d come back and close the vents to keep the greenhouses at 75
degrees, then walk home after a 13-hour day. But it was interesting, you know.
I set up plant displays at BJ’s Wholesale and delivered to every Paperama in
southern New England out to the Hudson in New York.
Work hard and be rewarded was the
message of my youth but then I learned from a friend that I had to work smart.
That made sense. But did it mean conniving to scratch and claw my way above
other employees? Yes, it did. The secret to the American Dream, if you wanted
financial security you needed to be the boss. To be able to manipulate
people to work harder than they should. Squeezing productivity from
underpaid employees was never a lure to me.
The boss at Walmart making sure no one
talks to each other. The warehouse manager not caring about workers injuries.
The head nurse that all the CNA’s hate. My philosophy is that I don’t like being bossed and I
don’t like BEING the boss.
So here I was with caretaking
experience, a difficult mall gardening job that included irrigation work, and
then some electrical work. A nursery job and greenhouse experience. I was
training myself in Horticulture. So, by 1987 Peter ratcheted down his business
because his mercurial bossmanship just wasn’t making the money he expected,
although of course he blamed the employees.
He even had me set up a retail shop
the spring after Dwight left and people recognized me from Tarnows. Then there
were the BJ Wholesale sites where I set up the indoor displays and returned
weekly to replace plants in ‘86. I even drove to Syracuse a couple of times.
I reckon it was the summer of 87 and I
decided I needed indoor plant experience on my resume. The good thing about
interior plantwork was that it was a way to work through a New England winter.
I spent nine months at Plantations who had some very professional training. I
forgot how I left that job.
Then there was the Plantscape job
where I was the only dude. When they went big on a pink and black theme with
uniforms and stickers and what all else, I found it amusing and they found a
way to frame and fire me.
In spring of ’88 I got a job with
probably one of the best crews ever. There was the boss, another Lori with an
I, who was a dairy farmers daughter. She had grown up with machines and
tractors and got the notion to start a landscaping business. Dwarf Evergreens
were trending and the plant selection was minty and the boss was calm and
organized.
There was Bob the biker. A big bear of
a guy with a big beard that the boss described as more a Teddy Bear than a
Grizzly. There was Randy the Redneck and there were many interesting
discussions altogether between all of us. A big gun enthusiast and one of the
first Preppers I ever met. He had enough food for a year at least and even an
underground gasoline tank. Randy and his Super Swampers were such a caricature.
Armageddon happens and people are
hungry roaming the land for food and shelter We asked him what he would do if
dozens of hungry people and their children were walking up his driveway looking
for assistance. His answer was that he would “mow them down like zombies.” Then
there was Mike Two Hawks, who said he was derided as “only” a quarter blood
Mohawk by his peers, but who seemed to be fully authentic. He taught me
ceremony and quite a bit else though he was younger.
There was Dat Shenoy and his
family. He was a tech dude who quit the biz and wanted to be a landlord. He
would be buying houses and I would renovate the landscaping and help him clean
and paint the indoors. I’ve liked Painting ever since.
I don’t know what years those were
with Dat and his lovely family and where they fit in with all those other
Connecticut jobs I had, but it was certain that no one could cite my lack
of hustle. A 50 hour week was quite normal for me in the 80’s. I had packed in
quite a bit of training in horticulture and with Lori I had the classic
experience of driving a 1949 Ford tractor down the state road creating a
traffic jam.
With my previous greenhouse
experience, I stayed on with the landscaper when it got too cold to plant
Junipers in the frozen ground. There was Joe Gidvelas with his mafioso persona.
He cursed all the time and was very gruff, except when he was planting tissue
culture jet plugs and he treated those like newborn babies.
In ’89 we got an offer to come to
Florida to be manipulated by my in-laws. My dad drove my rusted Datsun
King Cab pickup, and I drove a Hertz rental truck like the ones I drove
for Stanley. Without cell phones and global positioning satellites, we
always had a place where we would meet if we got separated. This was important
going on the six lane I-295 around Washington DC.
Susan and Nancy
Probably more
administrative skill than all the men in the Tarnow organization. A song called
“The Warrior” brought me back to that time. And really it all just brings
me back to when I started getting into the groove with a career in
horticulture, botany, hydrology, being in on the beginning of tissue culture
and all the rest.
My first notion is
that the Green Industry is about the least green of them all. All the pollution
required to make plastic and then there’s the toxic particles when it
burns.
First there is the
immense tracts of irrigation pipes at Park Mall where I worked in ’81/2. 528
sprinkler heads in an area so vast I had to use a bicycle to reach the further
ends of it. Today they have an easy, remote thingy that lets you to change
to different irrigation zones without having to go back to the time clock.
I started to point
out the hypocrisy of using a lot of mulch for environmental reasons when the
plastic bags for one job created more plastic garbage than ten families could
make in a week! I really noticed it after I moved to Connecticut and worked at
Tarnow nursery as a loader. All day long loading “green” products in thousands
of plastic bags. Brian and I had to wind down with some California bud and
Motley Crues “Shout at the Devil" after loading many tons of bags.
Stanley Greenhouse was a joke in the waste
department. Thousands of hanging baskets. Thousands of holiday plants. It was
about the profit. I went back to Tarnow for another interesting
spring but Stanley wanted me and I got another paltry raise to $4.75.
I went and did 18
months with two interior plant companies in the third largest indoor plant
market at the time, Hartford Connecticut.
After I told
Mike Two Hawks about my Indian sweet corn project, we began talking how the
natives here, The Podunks among others, lived cleanly and simply on the east
side of the Connecticut River.
I told him about the
Charter Oak and how it was also the ceremonial Oak. When the oak leaves were
the size of mouse ears, it was time to plant the corn. Later the “Fundamental
Orders of 1639” were hidden in the tree.
So I learned
ceremony at the start of the work day. It was the cusp of the dwarf
evergreeen trend and we planted many yards during the year and a half I worked
there. The same crew; a redneck - a biker -an Indian- a farm girl who loved
tractors, -a foul mouthed fat guy and me the heirloom organic dude.
Orchid
Island; invasive plants A1A and Jungle Trail and cutting the
pepper at Stickneys.
I made TWO habitat
reports and talked to two property managers and if nothing else showed them up
to be hypocrites. Headline proclaiming how they gave $3726 to the Environmental
Learning Center. A greenwashing of the corporate sort. A showy gift of charity
(probably some costume fetish ball) but not able to comprehend how the 600 acre
community should be managed. No outdoor stewardship, it was about selling
memberships and empty million dollar lots. No fucks given for the sake of
migrating animals and enhancing nature. No one to notice the disappearing
stands of native plants on site.
I saw an opportunity
for me to create a job with habitat at this place but these richy rich clubs
have their richy rich wanna be millionaire employees (bag boys / shop girls /
wait staff / department heads /real estate parasites) all stabbing each other in
the back as they kick and claw their way to the top of the Torwest corporate
organization.
Finally, I started my own business The Garden Green. A humble,
small company as there ever was. 2001 to 2021. Now I’m off to start something
new.
Diversions. 2022.
-7-10- Paintball and the Economy Part 1
I
spent a weekend two months ago at the psychic center of Florida, Cassadega. I
didn't go for the readings but to see what I could pick up earthwise. There's
supposed to be a powerful geophysical feature there underground: kind of like
the ley lines in England near
Stonehenge.
At the beginning of December it seemed as if the economy was really on
the verge of messing it's pants. Sure there was some positive momentum thinking
good hearted reformers were going to Washington to replace the entrenched
trickle down lobbyists. Doubts clouded my outlook ---this could be like some
people say, it could take decades to restore an equilibrium. I know too
that when there are earthquakes and volcanoes the next few years the insurance
companies will be going bankrupt and pension funds are going to disapear into a
black hole somewhere in the SOL Galaxy.
Is
there any hope? Is it 'the end of all hope'? As I drove away from Cassadega
much relaxed and recreated with some nice experiences under my belt, I took
Rt.44 back to I-95. Alot of large properties to see, cows and that, and then I
drove by Petes Paintball Range and I realized that here it is. Here is
the New Economy. The last 50 years has seen Americans pursuit of
happiness expand into previously uncharted territory. There
are so many clubs and sports and organizations and volunteer groups I wish
people could comprehend the massive variety we now have. Who could have
imagined 50 years ago that paintball would be a popular sport, growing quickly
I might add. 50 years ago people were still emotionally dead from 2 World Wars
and you'd be insane if you make up a sport like that.
What paintball is actually, is a giant evolutionary step. So many generations
of men being brainwashed that war is inevitable and you must go and kill and
maybe you're never quite the same when you get back. War is even considered an
honor. Well, no thanks, we can stop killing each other now. It is deeply
engrained in our genes to be warriors. In this modern world, warfare seems
completely uncivilized and out of synch with our future. If men can load up 50
paint bullets and set off into the woods in search of their foe this warrior
urge can finally evolve into the next level. From battle junkies hewing heads
off with their sword as it was done for many hundreds of years, opponents
can have some good laughs, get some exercise and keep life
interesting and diverse.
Pete's Paintball
range could very well survive this recession as will other clever
entrepeneurs. Red paint is the future, red blood spurting from an enemy in
battle will become passe. My point is that there is so much diversity and pent
up innovation that we are going to invent our way right out of this mess.
First, a quick review of tax reform that might leave you scratching your head.
10 percent flat tax on all income. Individuals and businesses. It doesn't sound
like enough---then a 10 per cent state sales tax as the federal government
closes many departments and states can more efficiently monitor programs and
this goes along with states rights and a decentralization of Federal control.
So here we are destroying the coral colony of the federal government and since
the 10% f lat tax is only concerned with sales and income, thousands of CPA's
will be looking for work as the 4,000 page tax code is reduced to 10 pages. No
more exemptions and deductions and write offs; send in ten percent of all
income. Period, no questions, no capital expenses. I remember when Ross Perot
ran for President his income had been taxed at 6% with all the fancy bookeeping
footwork that probably cost him $250,000 with the luxurious pay we give our
bean counters
Next reform is social security. At the end of the year everyone pays 5% into
it. Not enough..... how about taking the cap off that social security limit of
$106,000 ? This would mean that when Michael Eisner made 180
million dollars one year with Disney it would be taxed completely. 5%
would be 9 million dollars, some nice jingle jangle in our food stamp
program,eh? Or that social security needs to be filled up before the more serious
problems occur. Then as a coup de grace there would be a 1% Property tax on all
properties worth over a million dollars. American citizen or not, you own
something worth a million dollars or more. Be thankful and appreciative, this
is not a transfer of wealth and this income will be used to fund whatever is
left in the budget.
Catch that little code word I slipped past you, Nocapitalexpenses. This would
completely undercut this current dying form of capitalism where companies need
to be bailed out and are 'too big to fail.' "How can I grow my
business without spending millions of dollars for equipment." Ya grow it
slower ya moron. Ten per cent of your income. Period end of story
-7-11-INDIAN RIVEr BIOREGION Next I want
to lay out how a small business economy can survive. We don’t really need the
corporate masters as you will see as I build a virtual business world. With
Americas inventive spirit we could be as prosperous as China. We have many
precepts, conventions, and precedents to show how markets work and that with
our cultural traditions that rely on constitutional freedoms, small business
America can virtually run itself as soon as all of us good hearted progressives
really get to work and accomplish this. We need a truly extraordinary idea to
unleash innovation with our needs of the future. I propose a small business
flat tax of 10%. No exemptions or deductions. All sales or income is duly
recorded and a 10% tax paid. Imagine all the small business operators spending
more time working and less time trying to figure out the morass of laws and
regulations and tax complications. Something this simple would work. If forests
were no longer clear cut wood and paper recycling would become viable instead
of marginally existing as it does today.
Here’s
how predatory capitalism works. Clear cut 1,000 acres of trees in Canada’s
boreal forest. Loggers make some income but most goes to executives of these
corpulent corporations and stockholders see big checks. Grind up the trees and
sell tissue paper for it. People use this tissue paper for crying as they are
foreclosed on because they can’t find work. Permaculture and Bioregions will be
words the mean spirited neo-cons will attempt to demonize. Unity without
hierarchy, we can build a capitalist system that divides the world into
bioregions and everybody works on self sustaining economies. I live in the
Indian River bioregion. A 155 mile waterway between fragile coastal strands and
sand ridge protected swamp lands. We are not Palm Beach and we are not Orlando
or Daytona. Encompassing Cocoa Beach to Jupiter and out twenty five miles or so
from the beach, this is the basic framework of my bioregion. The St Johns
bioregion would be our neighbor to the west and northwest, and Miami Tropics
our southern neighbor. Palm Beach to Key West. A bioregion simply works with
the reality of our natural systems, not for profit but productivity.
Let’s build our virtual business community. Al comes in and he’s a real
animated artist and entrepeneur who loves to network and rents a building for
his workout club but also starts the Drudd Truck Farm Union,(I’ll explain
later) DTFU, and uses space in the building for offices. Betty moves over to
from the west coast of Florida and she cleans pools- and shops organic and is
the second to join and sets up the union website. Carol, retired, goes to the
gambling arcade and sell quilts. Dave is an electrician and has what it takes
for most of the union members electrical needs. He has a gym membership and
also shops local organic. Ernie sells sheds, who would have known, he had such
a promising career as a butcher.
Flossie
owns a small nursery and starts many plants from seed using old fashioned open
pollinated, genetically untainted , varieties of vegetables and fruits. Many
local people get their starters from her and soon organic produce becomes the
bioregions star player. She ships from Sebastian out to Cocoa beach and down to
Pit St.Lucie in the small truck fleet owned by Henry, Isaac and Joey. They have
vegetable oil run bio-diesel vehicles they converted from money they had made
with a successful solar installation company. They sell- buy organic and Dave
does electrical work at their warehouse. Henry Isaac and Joey all go to Al
workout club and joins the union. Let me add here a new phrase I heard today.
It’s co-operative capitalism and it’s about networking and people helping each
other with their small businesses. Call it what you like: enlightened
capitalism, cooperative capitalism or natural capitalism and my phrase,
‘sustainable capitalism’. This socialist fear mongering is so much hot air and
fog that our vision becomes clouded. America is not going to be based on
socialism …ever. Capitalism is energetic and innovative like the American
people but it has become so embedded in the culture that greed is good. Greed
is the true evil in the world and we see it everywhere but are too lame to
change. Giselle is a ballet teacher and her ballets are famous for the metal music
her ballerinas dance to and they are highly creative artistically. Somehow the
metal blends with ballet so well and she appeals to people who like their music
sugar free, and then there’s Pete. He owns a paintball range and his prices are
very reasonable. He also does a great deal of trade with EBAY which takes over
shopping as years go by. Louise joins the union, she is a dermatologist. She has
her own small practice and will show you references and photos anytime. On the
weekends she imports antique furniture and uses newly renewed train facilities
to do her shipping along the east coast with gas prices going up and spurs
being built near the FEC. (Florida East Coast Railway loading docks are called
spurs).
Henry calls a friend of his he knew back when they did aquaculture with
tomatoes and basil, ‘Hey we got a small business union, wanna join?”. Arthur
the Aquatic guy can achieve a balance in your swale or retention pond like
nobody else can and becomes an enthusiastic member of the union. Like most of
the others, his business is on the union web site that is growing every day.
Everyone in the union shares equipment and uses each others services. Bunny is
a famous beekeeper round these parts and has Tori Amos plays at her club. The
Biergadden of the Black Forest. Joey’s been there, loves it. Then there’s
Corinne that sells biofuel to a lot of companies. Even trucks it in with diesel
trucks that run on biofuel. Claire is a photographer and has a gym membership
and 2 daughters that take lessons from Giselle.
Darryl
is a pontoon boat operator that he sells and rents and Friday to Sunday he’s a
ships captain (every Thursday is talk like pirate Thursday). Monday is his
weekend and he works his ass off. Next door his friend Eddie has his own
florist shop at his home that union members like to frequent with flowers he
buys locally instead of shipped from South America. He takes suggestions and
has quite a flair for design and keeping the product fresh and he hires 3
people as business becomes way successful. Kevin is the owner of the senior
gambling arcade and makes sure everyone has a good time. Once a month he rents
a pontoon boat and takes his best customers on a cruise of the Indian River.
It’s his community, a rich community where we need each other and trade with
each other, protect each other and watch out for each other and criminal
activity is more easily detected. With national health care we are in this
together to save money wherever we can while providing a lessening of misery
wherever possible and a reduction of grandiose gluttonous gorging gourmandizing
profits.
Let’s
see what we have so far. Many products but not all the products the box stores
provides, but we are building a small business community from the ground up. A
sustainable community that will create jobs and be innovators for many years to
come. Instead of the economy we had before. A housing BOOM and lots of jobs,
then, the housing bust with foreclosures, disappointment, family stress and
anger. There is an organic fruit co-op for all union members who become smarter
fruit shoppers and healthier eaters of local fruits and vegetables. Another
star player, 50 fruits become common in the Indian River Bioregion and not just
the 20 we are used to. You can see the diversification lately with the rapid
expansion of pomegranate and blueberries and mangos nationwide. Melissa is a
water purification expert and is a lawyer that takes citizen unions into court
to represent them in lawsuits for victims of pollution or toxic waste. Their
safety must not be the taxpayers expense she insists but man up and pay for your
mistakes of toxic by products.
Nancy
is an expert at freeze wrap and freezes the local bounty and sells them to the
wholesale produce club. She is also a Reiki master and Yogaerobics instructor.
Oliver is a small business bookkeeper and notary public and his brother Paul
has 10 vehicles as a taxi service, some old used hybrids he often takes to
Pauls garage. Where are the corporations? Toothbrushes- no human can make
toothbrushes as well as a machine so there is a store that is called a
non-sustainable store with items that decrease value of the earths living
systems. Propane tanks and car parts are some of the things that can’t be made
but are sold at a local box box store. How about baby powder? Quinn has come up
with a product even better than Tom’s and can make it cheaper. Quinns wife has
developed a recyclable diaper service. His friend developed an extract from
willow trees, an old formula for headaches that seems to work. Something
organic that people can trust. So we have frozen food and shippers and store
owners and medical experts and construction expertise and Caveat emptor,
everyone has to be a smart shopper. Have you seen any businesses yet that
are too big to fail? So far no one with a business bigger
than ten people. Mel and Susan own horses on a large property and has become
the site of the monthly union meetings. Also people cooperate to co-own horses.
Roger the sheep herder comes to the meeting (Druddmoot) with a new goats cheese
he brings in with a cooler and recyclable plates. Scott the computer guy will
reconstruct and update your computer in less than two hours. Trish has a bakery
that everyone has been going to and there soon becomes three Trish’s Donuts
with it’s sudden success. You never quite know what will work and what won’t.
This is raw Klondike Kapitalism stripped of the institutional
greed of the parasiticidal white collar class. This is capitalism in it’s
purest form, don’t let the word union scare you away. It’s 1890 again and the
Progressives are just beginning to wake up to change the system. The cream
rises to the top with Sustainable Capitalism as I’ve shown the examples with
Trish and Flossie and Eddie. With the law of caveat emptor in effect, and
decades of safety being job 1 we are so much more aware of most of the products
we buy and the food we eat. Union member s have been choosing to go to an
office with 5 nurse practitioners and 2 Physicians Assistants who will fix your
severe cut for 125 dollars instead of the usual 800 dollar emergency room
visit. What kind of saving is this? 85%? They become the local doctors.
A
lumber yard was built was built and created in the nearby St. Johns River
Bioregion where sustainable woodlot management is turning pulp into paper. A
lot of individuals selling trees from their yards sustainably to bring in more
income. Forests saved such as the Amazon and Boreal and Taiga and gazillions of
birds and other animals She calls it Ure Paper and makes a lot of deliveries to
the Indian River Bioregion using local office supplies companies such as
Sebastian Office Supply in Sebastian who sell many paper products. Nationally a
1% property tax was put into law and clear cutting has been banned and hundreds
of thousands of jobs have been created recycling waste wood and paper. All this
innovation and economic activity is traced back to the 10% Bank. Where the tea
baggers are misguided is the corporatism-the corporate fascism they support is
not going to help the future of America. The rich make jobs say the braying
sycophant dittoheads, but the wrong kind of low paying, minimal craftsmanship
focused work. Much cheaper medical care, local food, locally grown and ground
hamburgers being sold fresh and frozen. Florida has a lot of grasslands and
cattle needs to be taken out of semi-arid prairie states that can have the
wolves and buffalo come back. Where is that truck from California? With a local
trucking union, less miles are driven, bridges get worn out slower. (Pssst. Hey
tea baggers. This lowers taxes--get it? Tony moves in from New Jersey, got any
jobs? He posts on the union web site. There are five openings right now, does
he live close to any and what is the pay? Then move this whole sustainable
capitalist structure into many other regions of this country. Into this world.
Creeping capitalism is what is going to work. Progressive forward looking
people are who we need to lead now, not people that glue tea bags to their
head.
Spare parts? Automotive appliance electronic? Norbert will find it on the
web and get it shipped to a union lodge. Vince vacationed here and never left.
Good weather, thriving small business economy, the union members have a lot of
fun and the gloves are off at Petes Paintball range. Violet has her reputable
house cleaning business and she helped Al with the start of the union venture
and ended up marrying Dave the Electrician. Do I need to tell you about the
alpaca farm or Xerxes the horseradish farmer? Anarchic criminal activity is
monitored in the region much better since everyone is interconnected in this
bioregion and all losses affect prices. Can’t discuss it, the internal security
geeks are allied with the enforcers, a combination of people with law
enforcement experience AND unemployed, intimidating looking biker dudes All get
employed to help this new atmosphere of small business and our unions that help
us unite….without hierarchy.
Do you see how it works then? Many products grown locally, frozen locally
and sold locally and exported to other bioregions. Where is that lawyer
lobbyist trying to get tax exemptions or that warehouse CEO who always seems to
be on vacation and all those accountants and investment firms? In my capitalist
sustainable bioregionally based system they are not needed. Neither are
businesses too big to fail. Local Bank No 1 makes one kind of loan… 100,000
dollars at 10 percent and many people are able to pay off their usurious loans.
Members have their usurious loans paid off and are also guaranteed not be
suffer foreclosure. Over the life of a 20 year loan there will be bumps in the
road--for anyone. If you haven’t paid off the loan in 20 years THEN the penalties
begin, now uploaded up front in our modern banking system that has
institutionalized greed.
DTFU savings support the congenial loaning system. Agnes is almost 94 and
take the biofuel bus to the library two times a week still, but the income just
isn’t there anymore. In the old avaricious predatory capitalist days she would
be in foreclosure in two months. I mean really, over the immense time of a 30
year loan, you are going to have bumps in the road. Why lose your home? With
the DTFU Union members volunteer for a car wash for her and earn 6 more months
of mortgage. She is not worried because she knows as a union member she will
NEVER be foreclosed on.
Socialism is passé, fascism and fundamentalism too brutal and the capitalist
system in need of reform. There is not one type of capitalism and one form of
socialism. The Republicans Socialist fear mongering will not stop, wiccan cages
will be for real and not an internet joke. These idiots have shown they would
allow wiretapping of people but not have the President address schoolchildren.
They’ll believe a sheep herders story about the son of god born from a virgin
2,000 years ago but won’t believe the State of Hawaii’s birth certificate for
Barack Obamao.
-7-12 - ECONOMICS 2101
This is a story comparing the Predatory
Capitalism of today with the mom and pop capitalism of 100 years ago. Let’s welcome Willard Suggins, a chicken farmer, a self sufficient
farmer, from 1908. Also Presenting CEO of Big Chicken Corporation, Melvin Pinholster the Third representing 2008. Go
back now to 1908 when there was still a lot of independent farms and
gigantic forests, and most of the Goddesses original brooks and streams were
still intact and yet to be demolished by progress. Willard Suggins is a young man with a small herd of
chickens and a modest dream. Willard’s hard working youth netted him enough
savings to buy a small 50 acre farm. Standing in his driveway one day he was
watching the chickens. Like his Mom and Dad he likes the way they run around
the yard being mischievous and being useful by eating insects. They had a fun
life till they needed to be eaten and went through a humane death unlike todays factory production style of meat and
its subsequent animal torture.
Shortly
before Willard’s first winter on his new farm, his dad brought over some nicely
seasoned firewood for smoking meat and keeping the house warm. There was so
much to do with the harvest Willard didn’t
have enough time to do this. His father was glad to help. They quietly knew
that some day Willard would be helping his parents. His initial 30 chickens had
gotten bigger and by the end of ’09 he expanded to about 80 birds. Making coops
was worth the time and effort. In 2008 Melvin Pinholsters
55,000 chickens also live on about 50 acres, its attendant stench
sometimes drifting in the air as the chickens squawk and cackle in the one
square foot cage they spend their lives in and then yowling in pain as their
beaks are cut off. Even to a greedmeister
like Pinholster, whose only concern is
profits, the stench and overcrowded conditions seem extreme. But the boss of
the “farm” Toby Dogdrag assures him that
this is how everyone does it. Toby found some really cheap 3rd rate
feed to save money. He jokingly calls it Cannibal Kibbles because it has chopped up chicken parts in the feed. He’s not even sure of
the legality of it because he knows that cows are no longer allowed to eat
chopped up cow parts because of the fear of mad cow disease.
I
don’t know what you remember, but, Kentucky Fried Chicken tasted much better 30
years ago unlike today’s tough veiny
unhappy meat. Factory farming is only about profits. The chickens are nothing
more than bolts or boxes or packaging. The incredibly small area they live in
is something Americans don’t want to think about.
“Chickens are not supposed to be healthy, my bank account is supposed to be healthy. In fact I hate chickens”, said Marvin Pinholster
the Third. Willard Suggins has a growing
list of customers. People visit on carts or horses. There are a couple
automobiles out this way but none at the farm yet till finally one day someone
drove in and it didn’t seem to bother
the chickens, despite the noise. Some approached the man as he stepped out of
the car. “Hi Willard!, I got a barbeque
tonight, how about a couple frisky ones.”
Local
butchers visit and head chefs from downtown become customers. To keep cash flow
going with his young business he also does chores and repairs for people. One
day he fixed ‘widder’ Gladys water pump
and the three dollars came in handy. He was able to buy nails he needed to
finish another coop for next years expansion.
TWO
years go by in each time period and both businesses are doing well financially,
in fact Melvin’s tax shelter, a failing egg operation has ………turned a profit.
Uh oh, he flies out to California to look at a new tax loss, a citrus grove.
When offered an orange from his new grove he refuses to take it. A trip to the
chemical storage shed nearly made him sick. He reminds himself to have the maid
buy more organic vegetables.
. Back to
1910 and Willard was now selling 20 dozen eggs a week and his eatin’ chickens are known as the plumpest and
juiciest around. By age 35 he eclipsed his dad’s success and his dad could not
be prouder. In 2010 Melvin goes national when he gets the Entenmanns Bakery contract for eggs and it’s
only 800 miles from “the farm” to the Entenmanns
warehouse. His old buddy from the fraternity owns 200 supermarkets and all the
local producers are kicked out: to make room for Melvins Frozen Wonders. Melvin and Willard are
both successful. The question for all of us is which style of capitalism do we
prefer for our world in 2101? Not sure? Pride in the product and service? Or
profits of the product? Cheaper imported sneakers for us and grinding poverty for the people
that make them? We accept this as the American Way? We build for
the future, and our futures future. Economics 2101

PELICAN BOOK FOR LYRICS
27 MARY LOU
My roommate Don Francois grew up on a farm.. I grew up without a single pet, cat or dog. So one day I mentioned it might be fun to have a cat and he said the barn cat just had some kittens. We went to his parents farm and here wee 5 kittens just over a month old. Some ordinary colored cats and this guy. Distinctly different than the others I said I'd be willing to adopt this one but it was the one Dons mother wanted to keep. An aggresive player, we were drawn to each other and his mother relented. "Boy or girl?" and I was told "pretty sure it's a male." I named him Roger after my favorite ball player, Roger Maris. In the hallway of the flophouse Don and I were living at, I would throw a small bouncy ball Roger would chase as it ricocheted in every direction. I couldn't have asked for a more loving playful pet. I would take her to friends' house when I visited. Finally it came time to get Roger fixed and the vet said that he had transitioned to female.. So rough and tumble Roger became the ferocious, razor-clawed Mary Lou. At two years old we moved from Connecticut to Arizona. I walked her on a leash at an RV park in Indiana and we walked around a small pond at a rest stop in Kansas and nearly lost her in a cornfield in Nebraska. Our most memorable moment was spending the afternoon at Shiprock New Mexico. Unleashed there were no plants and I could see her easily. Then we packed in in and headed for Tucson. I lived at a friends for a couple weeks waiting for my roommates to arrive. Mary Lou had gotten a case of mange and had to fight with other cats while living under a Pontiac Tempest not to mention a totally insane neighbor dog that would get loose occasionally. Finally we settled in at 5801 Swinging A on the far west side and she became desert kitty
