A Fighting Chance

I find myself repeating myself about the chances of success with the Electoral College vote. Also, there are several other ideas floating around that people are embracing. I thought it might be best to write a little bit, since I might be able to explain once & for all. You may also comment on my posting here.

First, some history--ancient & more ancient. I came up through the sixties, achieving the age of majority in 1969. But the 18yo vote had not been implemented yet, though it was on its way. I couldn't vote until 1972, George McGovern against the incumbent, Richard Nixon.

Leading up to this decision was arguably the most turbulent time, resulting in the greatest number of death of kids in the history of the United States. The Civil War might have been worse on the fields, but kids my age were being killed for demonstrating on college campuses, peacefully, for screaming and yelling and marching for an end to the war, marching black & white for civil rights, with women for equal pay & abortion rights. Groups who were more proactive were occupying government buildings, planting pipe bombs, Molotov cocktails. Black Panthers were radicalizing a huge percentage of angry young men & women while Muhammad Ali refused induction & Malcolm X called for separatism from the white slavers.

Our leaders were assassinated one after another. John Kennedy in 1963. Malcolm X in 1965. Martin Luther King Junior in 1968. Bobby Kennedy in 1968. These are the Big Four, but they are far from the only casualties. Individual community leaders for civil rights were murdered in the dark.

And in Vietnam, 18-year-old boys were being murdered by the tens of thousands, for no apparent reason. The obscenities of war led to fragged brains. After they came home, tens of thousands more of them committed suicide. Dow Chemical & the American tire companies profited from our interference. Agent Orange and Napalm were created especially for Vietnam, tested out on civilians. The obscenities of Vietnam cannot be understated. I lost so many friends, beginning when I was 17. It was one after another after another after that.

The numbers didn't match with the near-genocide of Jews in WWII. But Vietnam was the first war that was televised. Every night. At dinnertime. What the fuck did people expect us to do, after watching bodies in rigor mortis being tossed atop piles of other bodies, doused with gasoline & set ablaze?

Anyway, back in my little corner of the world, while still in high school, a very Trumplike division of sympathies came down the pecking order. Boys with slightly long hair were ganged up on by mobs of boys with scissors, shorn & beaten & sent home because anything longer than a butch cut threatened our society. Girls were sent home if their skirts were more than 1 inch above their kneecaps. A friend of mine sewed a pair of pants out of an old American flag. She was arrested & expelled from school. Her wealthy father was able to fight for her. It was a 48-star flag & therefore, not a symbol of our 50-star nation, so she won the case in court.

I lived in captivity, in a redneck town with an active branch of the John Birch Society. It wasn't in my power to change that. But in order to work, our boyfriends & husbands had to buy short wigs & wear them over their innocently long hair. In every shop a sign was on the wall over the cash register: "We don't do business with hippies" More pointedly, much like the Texas judge who told the newly minted citizens they should move to another country if they didn't like Trump, the phrase: "America: Love it or Leave It" was developed specifically for the hippies and must have been the hottest bumper sticker of its time. There were attacks, beatings, discriminatory acts & a strong stench of hatred in the world. We had to work in secret to get abortions, or phony up notes from mom to get birth control pills.

In 1970 I was arrested three times on drug-related charges, even though I had already realized drugs & I were a bad fit. My brain was way too fertile for hallucinogenics & pot bored me. It was too hard to get hash & opium, my favorite things, & every acid trip ended up being a bad trip. So I quit, on Valentine's Day 1970. But my friends didn't, so the police who hid in the bushes outside my house & used narcs to report on our travel plans were able to arrest us & put us in jail. Pigs were like Trump, the King of Pigs. I remember a pig telling me he was going to save me for last & strip search me himself. The law, of course, is that females are searched by females. I possessed no drugs, hadn't ingested any & there was no reason for anyone to search me. I was eventually searched by the matron, then put in a cell with a dirty white sheet that seemed to be covered in sand, a grey wool blanket tossed atop it. A friend who knew I was innocent bailed me out in the morning.

To make a long story longer, the late 1960s were filled with unrest, legal dissent, legal demonstrations & then in 1970, the pigs won once & for all: They killed four students on the Kent State Campus who were demonstrating peacefully, more so even than the Sioux at Standing Rock. The National Guard was called in, they leveled their rifles, took aim, & killed the children of four pairs of parents.

FOR NOTHING. FOR FUCKING NOTHING. FOR EXERCISING CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS. THEY SHOT FOUR UNARMED TEENAGERS WITH THEIR LARGE-CALIBER WEAPONS.

The world was never the same after that. The government was a little nervous, since Nixon was secretly sending illegal forces into Cambodia at the time & his little gig at Watergate was being unraveled. Those who didn't leave government service realized they had to figure out ways to appease us. They made it appear as if we still had avenues for protest, but in fact, they just started lying to us bigger & on a regular basis. They shut down every option we had. Now we knew, if we demonstrated, we took a good chance of being beaten or killed.

Maybe we put an end to the Vietnam war, but I have a feeling it was more about the opportunity the Establishment saw coming down the pike: Creating a phony energy crisis & telling us we'd be out of oil by the turn of the century, maybe sooner. So Nixon was out in 1974 & people were in gas lines that stretched on for miles & quietly, the shattered soldiers came home--to nothing. No parades. No Thank Yous. Skimpy benefits. No treatment for Agent Orange. No treatment for PTSD.

How mad did YOU get about that? What did YOU do to help the vets?

They say when you're young & hungry, you're likely to embrace radical democracy or even socialism. But if you manage to get through school, become a doctor or lawyer, put some money aside, invest wisely, get comfortable, have kids, they say you begin to embrace more conservative values. This is, essentially, the evolutionary track of Democrats & Republicans. Of course they cross over. At a cocktail party Kurt Vonnegut said to a Republican friend, "There's nothing a Democrat likes more than a liberal Republican."

While we were pondering all that, the Seventies sort of sneaked by. We got distracted by the Ayatollah & generally feared some sort of world economic collapse that would send us all into bunkers. We didn't have a strong foreign policy. And the USSR was still the USSR. We didn't crouch under our little school desks in school in the 1950s & 1960s for nothin. We were waiting for the Reds to push the button down. We learned the Hustle, went to discos & then there was Star Wars...

The Go-Go Eighties, the Me Generation, was all about mutual funds & making a lot of money really,

really fast. It is truly amazing how money shuts people up. Gordon Gecko was right.

I tell you this because I want you to know that the water hoses turned on the Sioux are the fire-hoses turned on blacks in the south. The rubber bullets are bigger now than the ones used in the UK for crowd control. The concussion grenade is an idea whose time had not come. Tear gas in the old days turned into pepper spray today. Much worse. The more you try to treat it, the hotter it gets.

And the dirty tricks used to get politicians like Nixon in office have turned into enormous gang-bangs of lies & rat-fucking, Swift-Boating, theft, bribery, pay-for-play.

As bad as the Sixties were, they cannot hold a candle to what has happened to our hopes & dreams, our hearts & minds, our bodies & souls since November 9, 2016.

So I want to talk about the Electoral College, the Constitution, The Bill of Rights, your rights, what's real, what's fake, who stands to gain & what the BEST THING IS YOU CAN DO to save us, because we are perched on the brink of the worst moment the ENTIRE WORLD has ever seen. There is an effort by hostile foreign actors to take control of the entire world. What is more desirable than money? POWER.

A FIGHTING CHANCE, PART TWO

2016: A Post-Election Manifesto

I ended part one thusly: 

As bad as the Sixties were, they cannot hold a candle to what has happened to our hopes & dreams, our hearts & minds, our bodies & souls since November 9, 2016.
So I want to talk about the Electoral College, the Constitution, The Bill of Rights, your rights, what's real, what's fake, who stands to gain & what the BEST THING IS YOU CAN DO to save us, because we are perched on the brink of the worst moment the ENTIRE WORLD has ever seen. There is an effort by hostile foreign actors to take control of the entire world. What is more desirable than money? POWER.

HE IS NOT THE PRESIDENT.

Stop referring to Donald J. Trump as President of the United States. It would be best if you didn't refer to him as president-anything, because he is not.

He stole the election by using a combination of dirty tricks, aided by dangerous foreign actors, for his own financial & personal gains. HE IS A FASCIST. He is a traitor to our country. He is colluding with outside forces, assisted by inside forces, to destroy our democratic system & replace it with a sort of monarchy which has no name, as of yet.

BOYCOTT THE MEDIA

Of course you need to know about current events, but they'll find you. You can't avoid it in this world. You might listen to your radio in your car or at home. The television might be on in your house or in a public place where you happen to be. You may walk by newspaper stands & see headlines. You could get emails with breaking news. A friend or family member might phone you to call your attention to something. You might see headlines on your phone.

The truth is, we consume TOO MUCH NEWS & opinion because we each have some need to do so. The reasons are different for each person, but suffice it to say: If something has your attention, you can't PAY attention to your own ideas & solutions.

Media is fond of saying something has "captured the imagination" of people Do you want your imagination to be captured? Do you want someone or something to have that much control over your very thoughts? This is a horrible thing to envision. I see a crowd of people staring at a huge screen with political icons & a totalitarian speaker in the center of it.

Since the election, every major media source has begun to refer to Agent Orange as President Trump. They have made statements like "that he will be our next president is a certainty" and "we need to accept that the next four years are going to be a challenge." BULLSHIT! This is irresponsible reporting by hacks, not journalists. We have precious few journalists. We have lost most of them to death & the ones who exist usually succumb to the big dollars paid to pundits & talking heads eventually. Right now we have Kurt Eichenwald & David Fahrenthold & JoyAnn Reid & a few others I'm not mentioning, but only because of time considerations. Let me tell you why these people are different.

A reporter, hack, pundit, talking head, etc. has marching orders. These can be tacit or blatant. Probably the worst of these are former speechwriters or other campaign or administration operatives like Chris Matthews & David Brooks. They make great efforts to sound like they're reporting actual news when in truth, they are giving you their opinion. The closest they get to TELLING the truth is INTERPRETING the truth. You must not allow someone to form your opinion, but unless you cut the cord, that's what you're doing.

So why does Kurt Eichenwald, who works for a for-profit commercial magazine & expresses strong opinions about Orange in his stories in Newsweek & on Twitter, stand out as a journalist? Because his opinions are based in FACT. A journalist is not supposed to tour Auschwitz in 1944 & deny what's happening there. He's not supposed to phrase his comments neutrally. He's not supposed to equivocate the extermination of Jews with the allied bombing of Dresden, as if they were the same crime against humanity.

A journalist is our window on the world. He points his lens at what is actually happening. He doesn't tell you it's something it's not. He affirms that what he is showing you is exactly what you think it is. You both have eyes. You both see murder or abuse or beauty or horror. He would not be a journalist if he tried to put a gloss on it to make it look better, or melodramatically claimed it was a disaster (Orange's favorite word) when it was nothing of the sort.

The fact that the Fourth Estate upon which we rely for facts & truth is jumping on the same bandwagon makes it as complicit in the rigging of this election as Putin, Assange & Bannon. STOP LISTENING TO THEM.

IT'S CALLED BRAINWASHING, DUMMY

Every time you allow a buzzword like "disaster" to plant itself in your consciousness, you are contributing to a buildup of concepts that affirm the "disaster." Like, don't think of an elephant. What happened? You thought of an elephant. Don't think of Donald Trump. See? Your mind was filled up with Donald Trump. WORDS HAVE POWER. That's why they are used to control people, to create bias in the media, to incite riots & wars. 

The most important thing you can do right now is change the way you think. If you contribute to the cultural obedience Trump sees in America, WE WILL LOSE.

IT'S NOT A POPULARITY CONTEST

People like me, who are committed to righting the wrong we were astonished to see happening right in front of our eyes are not "Hillary bitches." We do not all think the same or have the same goals. I share many of Donald Trumps beliefs. I disagree with several important planks in Hillary Clinton's platform. I sympathize with the stoners who thought Gary Johnson would legalize pot, dude, because, yeah. And I understand the appeal of the Green Party, which, if it had a platform, would be the only choice a person of conscience could make in the age of Global Warming.

But making a choice about hiring an executive, a CEO, for a trillion-dollar company, especially when that choice can make the difference between living normally & being blown to smithereens in a nuclear strike is SERIOUS business. Most presidents in the last 100 years have been under-qualified for this job. In political science, it's been shown that perceptions of a person are more powerful than actual fact. 

We also know people have a tendency to follow the herd. We don't want to make a decision, or we don't know how. We look to others for guidance. We have been & are a nation of sheep, a term coined by William J. Lederer back in 1961.

And more recently, we've begun to admit that our choices can be influenced by attractiveness, either physical or ethical. Bill Clinton, John Kennedy, Barack Obama, all went a long way on their looks, in addition to their actual skills. Richard Nixon lost to Kennedy because of 5 o'clock shadow & a scowl. Candidates who had fewer skills ran on their looks anyway--Gary Hart, John Edwards, Dan Quayle--& their detractors had to find a way to take them down in spite of it. Jimmy Carter flogged his honesty, saying, "If I ever lie to you, I don't want you to vote for me." 

Regardless of facts, presidential candidates get a lot of mileage with persona & personality. George W. Bush, it is said, was a guy you wanted to have a beer with. Donald Trump had a popular television show which apparently made him seem goofy & harmless & successful.

And Hillary Clinton? Well, who hasn't taken a shot at her wardrobe or her tendency to yell at a microphone? These picayune details were eventually accepted as a cover for the misogyny that her detractors packed into a bombshell & dropped on her. 

And yet, she is almost universally regarded as the most qualified, most experienced person for the job of President of the United States. Her salary wasn't even DOE! We were going to get her for the same price we paid for Gerald Ford & W. & Reagan, who slept through his 8 years in office.

The media spent countless hours referring to Clinton as "unlikeable," putting that thought into the electorate's collective head, without ever exploring the origin of that myth or questioning people who would say things on the street like, "I don't know why, I just don't like her." The media promulgated that the two major party candidates comprised the most unpopular opponents in the history of our nation. Of course, they had no way of knowing this, but it made for a hell of a soundbite. 

IT'S NOT REALITY TV, EITHER

And yet, that's what it feels like. Just as "reality tv" bears no resemblance to reality, this stolen election is something we never thought could happen here. Just like reality tv, this entire production was manipulated by bad writers & unethical producers. 

Brought to you by Trump-TV, the 2016 General Election was sponsored by Russia, China, ISIS, InfoWars, FOX-NEWS & CNN and paid for by Viewers Like You.

As we watched early in 2016, the impossibly obnoxious Trump knocked out every contender with a punch even cameras couldn't replay in slo-mo. We were stunned as he "debated" his way to the nomination, but we never really believed it. By then, ISIS was attacking Paris. We didn't think the story to lead off the evening newscast would be Donald Trump clinching the Republican nomination for president.

But it happened. then came the Tweets, bigly, or as he actually said, "big league." The tweet parade led to revelations. Michael Auselo in Florida was reporting the bribery of Pam Bondi, the state's Attorney General. Trump gave her a $25,000 "campaign donation" & she suddenly abandoned her office's plan to investigate Trump University. Then Bondi & Trump got VERY cozy. Trump was fined $2500 for making this illegal donation, but according to him, it was

chump change.

David Fahrenthold took a No. 2 pencil & a pad of paper & wrote out 13 pages of names--the charities to which Donald Trump claimed to have donated via the Trump Foundation. In the meantime, of course, Trump & Co. were trying to turn Clinton into a criminal for using a private email service when she was Secretary of State. Fahrenthold could find nary a charity who'd ever received a penny from Trump--though it did appear as though Trump used the foundation to pay the annual Boy Scout dues for one of his sons.

Kurt Eichenwald discovered that Trump had paid $86,000 to operatives so he could investigate opening a casino in Cuba, while the country was still under U.S. embargo. Might seem like a small amount of money, relatively speaking, but it was Anti-American, treasonous & criminally actionable. Then Eichenwald exposed an ongoing relationship between Donald Trump & Vladimir Putin that just kept getting bigger & bigger as the men lied about it, got sloppy with WikiLeaks & made YUGE public mistakes. 

Video dropped of Trump admitting to being a sexual predator. Lawsuits ebbed & flowed between Trump and a child he raped when she was 12. An additional 14 women came forward to testify that Trump had sexually assaulted them. Accusations of white slavery from the days when Trump provided underaged models to business colleagues abounded. 

In fact, there are too many offenses committed by Trump, both legal & criminal & unbearable, for me to list. But these are the things we need to keep in our mind when we think about him.

 Hillary Clinton, on the other hand, did nothing even remotely scandalous. But her husband's indiscretions were downloaded onto her as if she did. The woman who showed every troubled marriage that it could be saved, with dignity, was obscenely insulted & persecuted by Trump and all his minions.

Taken as a whole, adding in the 100 other offenses that occurred after that graphic was made, there is no way in hell Trump could be elected president. A bunch of things happened that we didn't really pay a lot of attention to. Twitter & several other major Internet institution were hacked & went down for hours. The Russians were blamed. They'd been blamed for other Twitter hacking in previous years, all documented in the media. Then in October, they were accused of being behind the statewide hack of Florida's voter database. This, along with several other stories, didn't seem to ruffle a single feather in America.

But then we saw it. Trump told us for weeks that the election was rigged & on Election Day, by about 9pm Pacific Time, the weirdest, most impossible "results" were being reported on the mainstream media. By the dawn's early light on November 9th, commercial media was declaring Donald Trump the winner of the United States' Presidency.

BULLSHIT.

We now know it was what he said--a rigged election, courtesy Vladimir Putin. The way it happened is being investigated. But more importantly than actually finishing an audit or recount, or taking apart voting machines or reading code that shows where the malware made everything goes sideways, there is, at last, a saving grace: COMMON SENSE.

In his pamphlet of the same name, patriot Thomas Paine advocated independence of the 13 Colonies from England. Never since that day has the term made more perfect sense than at this time. People all over the world are shaking off disbelief & embracing the truth. The United States of America got robbed. Russia got the better of us. They sent out a jester/juggler to distract us while they did their work. Now they are going to take over our country. We are about to become subjects of Vladimir Putin. 

We've been heading toward a feudal state ever since this commercial for Apple broke records at the SuperBowl. The conceit of the 1984 ad is that people who are blind worshipers & followers of IBM will be liberated by the Macintosh computer. In reality, an old addiction was simply swapped for a new one.

THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE IS YOUR FRIEND

Just as voting for Stein or Johnson or Bernie in protest would be a very wrong thing to do in the face of the clear & present danger Donald Trump presented, bitching about the REAL reason the Electoral College exists would be suicide right now.

Don't you think the Republican Electors in the Red Battleground States, who have NOT voted for a President yet, whose votes are required to certify the election, are as scared shitless as you are? Being a Republican does not automatically lower a person's IQ, no matter how snarky devoted Democrats want to be about it. America has an opportunity to experience a new unity by urging the EC to vote for Clinton and dumping Trump.

A vote for Trump is a vote for Putin. Considering Trump's fantasy cabinet picks, it looks like he'd like to raze buildings & forests & build new real estate which he can own, built by people he'll never pay. Kinda like the Pyramids. 

W E HAVE CONSTITUTIONAL PROTECTIONS

We can burn flags. We can say whatever we want to about our President. We can make dirty movies & write dirty books. We can take drugs & drink alcohol. We can protest anything we think is unfair or wrong. And we can kick any treasonous asshole out of the White House for dozens of reasons.

The one thing we do NOT want to do, however, is impeach. Impeachment means we are allowing this traitor to take the oath of office & assume the Presidency. When he is impeached, his Vice President steps up to take his place. Mike Pence may be even worse than Trump. But whether or not he is, Putin will be president. 

Donald Trump must never assume office. He must be stopped, legally, peacefully & eternally, by the citizens of America. We love our country, the UNITED States of America. We are patriots not only to ourselves, but to our countrymen & women. If anyone just rolls over & goes to sleep for four years, they will not only wake up dead, they will be betraying everyone else in America.

DEMOCRACY IS HARD, BUT IT'S WORTH IT

It's really not that complicated to make Trump go away. But it requires commitment. It requires being a real patriot. Do you remember how you felt on 9/11? Like the entire world had gone insane, like you were watching the destruction of America right before your eyes? Is that how you feel now?

Did you want to go to war, have homicidal feelings for Osama Bin Laden, weep endlessly for the families who lost loved ones, or whose loved ones were never even found? 

Do you remember a time when you were proud to be an American, recently or long ago? Do you remember a time when you were ashamed of the actions of some of your countrymen, in any decade of the 20th century, or in the last few years?

YOU ARE NOT ALONE.

Just remember a few things. 

• Donald Trump is not the president.
• Hillary Clinton won the popular vote and deserves to win the Electoral Vote
• The only reason Trump has more "Electoral Votes" is because the media says he does.
• We will not survive a Trump presidency.
• Trump is in league with Putin, Assange & the Chinese, as well as every dictator he admires
• Do not refer to Agent Orange as President Trump
• Feel free to talk about President Hillary Clinton
• Keep the truth in your conscious thoughts all day long. 
• Don't give up.
• Say the Pledge of Allegiance. 
• Sing the Star Spangled Banner or America all day long
• Imagine having a skilled CEO in office who can fix what's broken
• Think of your neighbors, our troops, the children who are no longer safe. Protect them.

POST-ELECTION RUSSIAN MANIPULATION

Russia's Cozy Bear operation hacks US Think Tanks within hours of election, Reuters, November 10, 2016

Time for a reality check.

So, here's the deal...

Trump has not been elected. We watched as the MSM, with no hard numbers, declared state after state as wins for The Orange Satan. Hours earlier, every single pollster & media outlet had Hillary winning with significant margins of victory. They seemed shocked as numbers that were climbing for Hillary suddenly started going Trump's way. They weren't in on the fix.

Hillary won the election. In any vote we ever take in this democracy, we abide by “majority rules,” or in the case of +2 multiples, plurality rules. The Electoral College is supposed to reflect the popular vote, not negate it. Therefore, it's logical to believe that Hillary will be our 45^th President when they've cast their votes on December 19.

Don't blame Democrats, uneducated white males, conservative white women or anyone else. They didn't do it. These evil forces from Russia, aided by Assange & abetted by Trump, stole the election. Trump told us it was rigged. We just didn't realize he was telling the truth for once. They wanted us pointing fingers at each other, fighting, blaming, instead of believing the far-fetched idea that a worldwide conspiracy of brilliant hackers & one dim-witted inbred idiot who wants to screw his daughter could accomplish this. WAKE UP, PEOPLE. It happened. Yes, there are conspiracies. Go here, scroll down & READ.

Take action near the top, read news stories near the bottom

Trump, Putin, Assange & accomplices infiltrated our government. Then they began influencing actions & public statements to suit themselves and slander Hillary. We don't know how this worked yet, but you can bet someone will squeal eventually & all the pieces will fall into place. And in this case, I'm only talking about what happened before the election.

Russian hackers are living in our Internet neighborhood. With assistance from thieves like Assange & brazen fools like Trump, Vladimir Putin, dictator of Russia, murderer, former KGB agent, who in fact, stole the presidential seat in Russia, attacked us & fixed the election. Putin was responsible for Twitter going down when he invaded a major hosting company. He hacked Florida's voter database prior to the election. While everyone was unable to imagine how he could get to every voting machine in America, he was busy doing it.

We were warned. Russians have been at these dirty tricks for ages, with obvious exposures since 2014. They shut Twitter down a week before the election. Journalists & tv personalities, writers, radio broadcasters, & politicians all picked up on what was happening. They told us it was happening. WE DID NOTHING.

America is slacktive, not active. This is the secret weapon Putin used against us. Young people who didn't experience history don't know history. They were not educated about politics and civics. They studied to work with technology, science, medicine. But they're not alone. Up & down the age spectrum people have dismissed history. We have been dumbed down. The majority of people you see every day is texting, plugged into phones & devices, creating or using applications, talking about hundreds of television shows that are no more than regurgitated pap. People are more concerned with individuality & prosperity than they are with being united & equal. So many of these people didn't vote. They think they fix things by signing a petition. They talk about global warming but refuse to reduce their carbon footprints. They cannot be bothered to DO what others are doing: fighting for freedom.

THIS IS A CALL TO ACTION. Now is the time for all good people to come to the aid of their country. We must be inconvenienced for a while or lose everything. Anything Trump is doing now is opening the door to Russia to take us over from within. You will lose every right they do not want you to have. They will tear our laws apart & it will take decades to put them back together. Right now you still have power. It's not too late, but SOON IT WILL BE. Please make a commitment to put everything aside for a day, or two days or a week. Then join with Americans who are working to stop what is happening, taking our country away from the enemies Trump has allowed in.

Make your voice heard with Red State Electors. They don't want Trump either.
