AFFIRMATION:
First a DAILY AFIRMATION (just missing mirror & Sen.
Franken, SNL) from yours truly, GBF:
(a) As hard as it is today with “It” [explained later], keep a stiff upper lip,
and get smart and don’t get even; (b) Make fun of it all in a humorous and
constructive manner; (c) and Above all, join with your family, friends and
allies, and shout praise, sing, and rejoice to the heavens, and join hands and
dance the Puppet Dance! (Commemorative T-shirts, Caps, Video demo coming soon).
Of course, we have to be realistic about this, because most of us have family
members, relatives, friends, classmates, coworkers, colleagues, etc. that are a
part of the POTUS “It” followers/supporters (and in some cases, part of the
extreme alt-right/nationalist/white supremacist fringe); so recognize that when
you are out there at the City Square or dance hall wearing your “Puppet Dance”
T-shirts and Caps, that latter group may pay you a visit so they can see attire
and the dance first hand; which is a great opportunity for many of us to see
what fellow church members, etc. make up this POTUS “It” RNC/GOP group (read
further and see what exactly RNC/GOP means to some of us who were playing a
spirited game of scrabble.

———————————————————————————————————————
I have many well intentioned causes, which you will hear
about in short order, but my primary, initial, and “seed” cause that started all
of this is:
HOW IT ALL BEGAN WITH
THE “gol darn” Leaky CRIMe Plants
Plain and simple, thousands of leaky CRIMe plants
(Chemically Real Intensive Manufacturing establishments) are out there across
the nation (and world), that exist because nobody has held them accountable over
years, decades and certainly a half of century, and going on a century. In
essence, no one has made them install appropriate environmental safeguards, and
because of this, almost each and every one of these CRIMe plants lacks
these fundamental and necessary (environmental and public health & safety)
safeguards. And because of the latter, these leaky CRIMe plants are insidiously
degrading the quality of our natural water resources, and in particular, our
treasured public water supply sources, like Lake Michigan and the rest of the
Great Lakes. This insidious, gradual, accumulative and “ticking time bomb” degradation
that is occurring needs to be addressed, because the presence of these toxic carcinogenic
chemicals in the raw fresh water supplies feeding our public waterworks
facilities for “safe drinking water” is becoming more and more of a public
health concern and risk, especially
for the more vulnerable, like pregnant women, infants and toddlers. I mean ask yourself: “Have you or one of your
family members or close friends been afflicted with some form of cancer?” You
might say that is “scare tactics”, but what else can I say to draw your
attention? Do you think anyone gets afflicted with cancer from ingesting toxic
(carcinogenic) laden/tainted water that they were drinking that was qualified
by the public waterworks agency as being “safe drinking water”? SURE THEY DO! The
latter is true, because these waterworks use outdated health standards for
carcinogenic toxic chemicals like hexavalent chromium that are recklessly
published by the U.S. EPA or the State for their water quality standards that
are not updated to current scientific studies (e.g., study conducted in CA by a
renowned panel of medical and public health experts). So in the meantime, since
states like Michigan and the U.S. Midwest in general are using outdated water
quality standards, such as for Cr+6, people in this State and Region
are subjected themselves, their unborn, their infants and toddlers to excessive
exposure of Cr+6, based on EPA’s antiquated and inadequate water
quality standards, which more than likely is overexposing this specific
vulnerable demographic, which could very well result in cancer afflictions for
these individuals later in life. And the deniers for the latter situation are
never satisfied with date provided in legitimate and reliable scientific
studies, but instead, they are waiting for absolute proof of the origin and
fate of every single toxic chemical molecule that leaks from these highly
corrosive and cancer causing plants. The deniers on climate change are
virtually asking for the same kind of proof, except in that case, they want you
to chemically finger print the chemicals and plot their path from here to the
heavens and report back to them on how exactly it got there (actual path), and
what incremental kind of climate changes occurred during these course of
events? So I am being preposterous in explaining all this, but suffice to say,
no matter what kind of sound scientific evidence you derived in a peer reviewed
consensus building method among 98% of thousands of the best scientific experts
in the world, they will still come up with some cockamamie argument, that the
data is flawed, which of course all scientific data and empirical/mathematical
and scientific theories and postulations are never 100% exact; but that is not
the point, because that is the nature of science. For example, we could predict
exactly what is going to happen to Rush’s head and body if he takes a swan dive
off an 18-story building in Southeast Florida, but more than likely are
predictions won’t hold true 100%, due to variables and assumptions that may
have slightly deviated when he was flying past the 10th floor. And
that’s the point! He still went splat! But the angle he hit the ground was not
exactly as we expected, and for some reason or other he didn’t hit head first,
so what we expected with the flying couple ounces of grey matter was not even
close to what we anticipated. I guess you see the point, which in this case was
not the top of his head. So now he can tell that story to his children and his
grandchildren and great grandchildren, and some day when those youngsters look
back when they are living somewhere else besides Florida because that State became
kind of a dangerous and unlivable place over the decades because of the high
sea levels and Category 5+ Hurricanes (new rating system to be developed soon),
and they will ask grandpa Rush if he has any more scientific predictions from
his denier buddies? Well, when Rush was asked that he just scratched his head
and other body parts, and told these youngsters now that they were older that
soon we will be able to put little GPS gadgets on every single chemical
molecule so we can plot exactly where all these molecules came from, and follow
the erratic and wild path they take over time, and document in detail how these
molecules may have physically and chemically changed along the way, and determine
exactly what they caused or did not cause in terms of meteorological changes or
other changes in our global system of ocean currents, land and sea ice, etc.
Those kids are so lucky to have Rush, and so are we. Just to conclude this
topic, here is something we do know scientifically, and there isn’t much
argument about it: The IQ ranges for a moron, imbecile and an idiot are 51 to
70, 26 to 50 and 0 to 25, respectively.
So getting back to the leaky CRIMe plants – Unlike chemicals
associated with climate change, the nasty chemicals leaked from these plants
can be easily identified and tracked just by sampling and testing soil,
groundwater and surface water around these plants. And there is essentially a
chemical finger print associated with these plants, because the chemicals they
use in their manufacturing processes are something that is known. Okay, that
was simple wasn’t it? Regardless, Rush and his FOX and other talking head
buddies will come up with another cockamamie way to deny this simple fact. This
is not to say, that hydrogeological modeling of chemical transport in the
groundwater is a simpleton process, but it is pretty well established and
reliable, but you still have to deal with the CRIMe plant’s denial or
concealing or deceiving about what chemicals they use in their processes, but
lies like this don’t carry much water nowadays (no pun intended) in today’s
information world, because all their processes are out there on the internet in
black and white, and usually their past employees are eager to give out
information on their polluter employer.
So if this leaky CRIMe problem is so straight forward as
described here, then why isn’t this problem out in the open and being
addressed, corrected and remediated (and prosecuted) already? Well your first thoughts
on this are probably that our elected and appointed public officials certainly
must be on top of this in the interest of the “general welfare and health &
safety of the public” right? Well, my answer to that would be “don’t look to
the government officials/politicians on this because they, for the most part, are
in cahoots with Big Business and their very successful lobbyists who all chant
in unison that “it just ain’t so [=LIES!]”. If they have their way, as they
have so successfully done in the past, they will just let this continue on for several
more decades, and tell us it would be best if government just stayed out of
corporate business and just let those corporate business geniuses/leaders do
their own ISO14001 self-regulating and environmental pollution control “as they
see fit” based on their superior ability to control the bottom line capital
expenditures and operating costs in a manner that maximizes profits for the
good of all (= themselves = 1%) while at the same time protecting the
environment and public health in a reasonable fashion (= inadequate and “BS”;
the latter term to be defined later). ISO14001 is an International
Environmental Management Systems (EMS) Standard often used as a guise/façade by
CRIMe plants, especially now that some states have sanctioned these EMS’s as a
substitute for regular regulatory inspections, and more or less have agreed to a
“hands off approach” by state environmental regulatory agencies (= MI), who are
delighted and accepting of this approach because they are constantly cutting staff
and their overall budgets for environmental regulatory functions per the wishes
and desires of the corporate community who preach “less government” and
“privatization of everything” in favor of corporate “self regulation”, which is
absolutely preposterous and another “bamboozling of the public” once again.
REAP/PACATO ASSISTANCE
TO THOSE IMPACTED BY LEAKY CRIMe PLANTS
REAP (Reality Environmental Action Proponents) under “youREAPwhatyousow.org”
is pursuing the crackdown on the CRIMe plants relentlessly, and plans to
facilitate, and hopefully eventually help fund, the formation of community
watchdog groups under “PACATO.org” (Principled American Citizens and Allies
[from near and afar]
Together to Orchestrate) to sample and test soils and
groundwater around these plants to identify contamination in their community
and demand that these companies be held accountable.
FOCUS ON Grand Rapids
Metro, W MI, Michigan and Midwest/Great Lakes Region
Having greatest familiarity with West Michigan, Grand Rapids
Metro Area, U.S. Midwest/Great Lakes Region, REAP has chosen to focus on that
area of the country as it relates to the leaky CRIMe plant issue (Call them the
CRIMe plant “Poster” community, state and region). Fortunately, California has
demonstrated environmental leadership and stewardship and is on the right track
on addressing this problem in their state to stop, control and remediate the chemical
releases from CRIMe plants. For example, they have required that these plants
first of all have no buried tanks or pipes on the industrial site (common
problem with the older plants, especially in the Rust Belt region) carrying
hazardous wastewater (HWW). The requirements, further demand that all the tanks
and plumbing must be clearly visible by operators, and inspected hourly 24/7,
with all leaks and spillage reported and addressed immediately to state
regulatory authorities. Besides requiring that they have secondary containment
for HWW conveyance, storage and treatment systems (tank in a tank, pipe in a
pipe), they require these plants to have monitor wells around the perimeter of
the site also, to serve as an early alert/notification system to promptly identify
if chemical contamination has occurred and is about to migrate to adjacent
properties. In lieu of the hourly inspections previously mentioned, these
facilities may instead have automated leak detection systems, and automated
pipe pressure and liquid level monitoring systems, coupled with automated
alarms and shutoff systems for the purpose of preventing chemical
overflows/spills and tank/pipe leaks (inordinate drops in pressure or liquid
levels = leak). By requiring that all the CRIMe plants do the aforementioned,
CA has drastically reduced what is called RCRA Class I Hazardous Waste
environmental releases (as defined in the 1986 Resource Conservation &
Recovery Act).
“REAP” LEAKY CRIMe
PLANT: “POSTER Community, State and U.S. Region”
REAP has chosen the Grand Rapids Metro area of MI, the State of Michigan and the U.S.
Midwest/Great Lakes Region as the “Poster Community”, “Poster State” and
“Poster U.S. Region” to take the lead to address this issue, and to once and
for all forbid CRIMe plants to operate in these areas in a negligent manner by
carelessly and recklessly interpreting the RCRA CWA (Clean Water Act) domestic
sewage exclusion/exemption (often per environmental attorneys’ interpretation/recommendations)
incorrectly as a legitimate excuse for these leaky CRIMe plants not having the
appropriate environmental safeguards as just discussed. As discussed earlier,
REAP and its followers, have no intention of waiting around any longer for
government (local, state and federal) and the three branches of government
(executive, legislative, and judicial) to come to the rescue to citizens in
harm’s way (“REALITY” has finally set in), but rather through PACATO and their
formed alliances of neighborhoods and homeowners associations, etc., they will
be pursuing this matter on their own by gathering the appropriate information (sampling
& testing: YES, they can do that!) that will then be brought forward to the
governmental bodies having jurisdiction in their area, and demand that they
address the problem in accordance with environmental and public health &
safety laws, or otherwise be held liable themselves and be prosecuted for clear
“breach of public duty” (= CRIME) as they have sworn to uphold. REAP’s and
PACATO’s goal and desire is to first of all identity these numerous suspected
leaky CRIMe plants, and then secondly, to have regulatory agencies proceed with
enforcement and demand that these CRIMe plants take corrective action, such as retrofitting/upgrading
their HWW systems to have proper environmental safeguards, coupled with
remediating the pollution they have caused for so many years.
To let these plants continue as they have for more decades
and perhaps another half century, is a pure travesty and “environmental
injustice” (= “civil law suit”) to the surrounding environment and community;
and even if there is centralized public water in these neighborhoods
surrounding these CRIMe plants, that is simply no excuse for what they have
been doing, nor a reason not to correct it. Even with a public potable water
system, the CRIMe plants are still causing environmental harm and are putting
the community, and for that matter, the State and the Region at public risk
associated with the health & safety impacts these leaking carcinogenic
chemicals pose to children playing in the neighborhood in contaminated soils, creeks,
ditches and ponds, or perhaps even contacting these often poisonous and
cancerous chemicals in their home basements and foundations as these toxins are
oozing through cracks in the concrete, etc., and entering their domiciles that
they have always viewed (unfortunately in this case, incorrectly) as a safe and
protective haven for their loved ones. The public health & safety and
environmental harm associated with these leaky CRIMe plants goes on and on; contaminating
the creeks, rivers and lakes where people fish and eat the fish they catch; and
as mentioned earlier, those toxic chemicals, even though they move ever so
surely and slowly via the soils/groundwater below, they have been doing so for a
half a century or more, and it involves many leaky CRIMe plants in an area working
in unison over an expansive area, with the end result being that these toxic chemicals
eventually find their way hydrogeologically (through soils, groundwater,
streams and lakes) and into those precious public water supply sources, we call
the Great Lakes. If this is not a problem, why do these communities and their
public waterworks agencies keep putting their public water supply intake structures
further and further upstream/up-lake, and far away from
urbanized/industrialized areas?
GRAND RAPIDS METRO
UNLEASH DAMS & RIVER TOXINS DOWNSTREAM
Grand Rapids Metro area (CRIMe plants located in Grand
Rapids and Kentwood and elsewhere) is a prime candidate for the REAP “Poster
Community” because a whistleblower disclosure was made there in the spring of the
year 2000 (MI Governor Engler, MI AG Grandholm & MDEQ Director Harding) that
was totally ignored (meet & greet meeting held, and that’s all!); and the
community is planning a river restoration/recreational/commercial economic development
project that will be removing several dams on the Grand River that have been
there for over a hundred years, that unbeknownst to the poor “soon to be impacted”
folks downstream, will surely result in a BIG SLUG of toxic carcinogenic
chemicals being released from this industrial sludge and sediment that has laid
dormant on the river bottom for over a century, in a town that has always had a
heavy concentration of CRIMe plants, especially electroplaters/metal finishers,
but also leather tanneries, and other CRIMe type plants. And incidentally, the
Grand River empties out a mere 35 miles west from the City Grand Rapids at the
mouth of the river on the east shoreline of highly treasured Lake Michigan
where there are multiple (at least four) public water supply intake structures
close to shore and the river’s mouth where there is a highly visible dark
cloudy colored pollution plume. These
intakes operated by three different public waterworks agencies, serve a huge
population center that includes several West Michigan cities and counties.
PFAS & HEXAVALENT
CHROMIUM TOXINS IN REAP “POSTER” AREA
So far we have just been talking mostly about the
detrimental environmental and public health & safety risks to humans
(including men/women/the unborn/infants/children, etc.), but this also has
detrimental effects on our earthly animal (land and aquatic) and plant friends/species.
For your information, examples of CRIMe plants include trivalent chromium
plating, chromium anodizing, decorative chromium plating, hard chromium
plating, various other kinds of metal finishing/electroplating (besides
chromium, like zinc, nickel, copper, etc.), leather tanneries, paper/pulp
mills, stainless steel manufacturing, etc. It should be noted, that the Grand
Rapids Metro Area, West Michigan, the State of Michigan and many parts of the
Midwest/Great Lakes Region have had some real serious problems in the last few
years with identified toxic chemical contamination from leather tanneries and
chromium electroplaters, especially as it relates to a highly carcinogenic
chemical (at very low parts per trillion concentration levels), called “PFAS”
(poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances). There hasn’t been much indication in the
news yet about the presence of hexavalent (Cr+6) in these
contaminated areas caused by chromium electroplating and leather tannery
operations (both these industries use PFAS and Cr+6), but levels of
Cr+6 are present in Lake Michigan as evidenced by a EWG
(Environmental Work Group) Tap Water Study published in recent years. Like
PFAS, hexavalent chromium is also highly toxic and carcinogenic at very low
concentrations – e.g., for the W MI water supply intakes on the east shore of
Lake Michigan, the Cr+6 concentrations are 10 to 15 times a health
risk advisory standard developed in the State of CA by a panel of medical and
public health experts, which was established at a level that would be protective of the most vulnerable
population, such as pregnant women, infants and toddlers.
POTUS AND “IT”
Again, getting back to our DAILY AFIRMATION (per our beloved
former Senator Al Franken, SNL), first
and foremost, this about the announcement and introduction to the “Puppet Dance”
as so named and celebrated in honor of our 45th U.S. President, hereinafter called
“It” (be sure to “capitalize”) because the writer herein cannot get himself to
say out loud or write the POTUS’s name; and, by all indications, writer is not
obligated to do so by law. After all, this is not a monarchy (although it is
already authoritarian and may soon be a dictatorship), and we are not “Its”
subjects. And on the dictatorship matter, “It” is certainly an aspiring
dictator as we all well know, as “It” has proclaimed his proclivity towards
such a title/position numerous times, which is exactly what “It” is hoping for
so “It” will have all the power to squash out all “Its” adversaries, even for
such minor infractions such as making a funny or dirty look at “It”, or
accidentally putting a U.S. Flag Forever USPS postage stamp upside down on an
envelope.
POTUS’s/”Its”
DICTATOR/AUTHORITARIAN CLUB
As mentioned, by all indications, day in and day out, “It” already
considers “Itself” an authoritarian figure and we already know he is “card
carrying” member of the “dictator/authoritarian club” that includes “Its” close
allied buddies in:
Russia
(Under their presidential leadership, Russia has been poisoning their
adversaries and former government employees all over the place, especially
there in Russia, but now also including Great Britain, where a woman and a man
were poisoned by a nerve agent, and the woman, in her early 40s, and a mother
of three children, died – the health of the surviving man, also in his early
40s, is questionable, and certainly degraded now and for the remainder of that
human being’s life);
Saudi
Arabia (Under Saudi Arabia’s governmental leadership, they sent out a
strongman message to the world by torturing/bone sawing a highly respected,
decent human being and USA patriot and Washington Post journalist);
Philippines
(Under their presidential leadership, the Philippines has slaughtered several
thousand of individuals in a so called “drug crackdown”, including individuals
struggling with drug addiction problems, and certainly many innocent bystanders
caught in the crossfire, perhaps even those who innocently may have just uttered
the word “drug”):
Turkey
(Turkey has been pleading to the USA to deport a former Turkey political leader
who is currently residing in PA to be deported back to their authoritarian
leader where he almost certainly is expected to be imprisoned for the remainder
of his life, and punished harshly like the Turkey President has done with all
his other rivals in one fashion or another);
North
Korea (“It”, in a Reality TV celebrity fashion, acted (emphasis on
“act”) real tough around this leader at first shortly after “Its” highly
overfunded [what happened to all that $$ and where did it come from??]
inauguration [most highly attended/NOT event of its kind in U.S. history]. Now
all “It” does is praise this leader for his authoritarian prowess, as he does
of the China leader [saying at the same time, that “It” looks forward to the
day that the U.S. puts POTUS at this same authoritarian level someday soon].
And then “It” defends NK leader, and takes his word over the family’s word who
are suing NK for the death of their college aged son who was imprisoned in the
NK for 17 months in a gulag style prison reminiscent of the Nazi
imprisonment/death camps, and later dies in the U.S. in recent weeks due to
health effects suffered during his imprisonment. “It” defended the Russia
leader for the poisoning of the Brits, by saying that if the country’s leader
said this wasn’t so [i.e., they had nothing to do with these deaths/poisonings]
and he nor his country had anything to do with this person’s death, and
therefore “It” took these respectful and honorable/adored leaders at their WORD
(what a joke!) because “It” just cannot understand why these honest and sincere
gentlemen would lie [puke, puke, puke…]. To top it off, this “It” admired NK
leader recently announced that they intended to kill the NK Olympic team by a firing
squad sometime soon. Recent evidence of “It” chumming up to this dictator was
the pulling back of economic sanctions by “It” just as the U.S. Treasury
Department was about to impose planned and scheduled economic sanctions against
this country for its nuclear proliferation activities. This was reminiscent of
the same kind of “buddying up” or advocating for other authoritarian leaders
like the Russian leader, as evident by It” lobbying for the backing off of
planned U.S. economic sanctions against Russia for their strategic land grab of
Crimea and other aggressive actions they have been taking against Ukraine for a
number of years.
Egypt
and China (plenty can be said about the latter two, but I dare not; and
I have already said enough to get some bone sawing myself – hopefully not, either
by “It” if “It” can arrange it, or by one of “Its” dictator/authoritarian
buddies).
Nationalists,
White Supremacists, Ku Klux Klan, and neo Nazis (And this is a very
sensitive issue in the U.S. due to the present and past day raciest tendencies
of a significant part of the population, and it really shouldn’t be ignored presently
because what POTUS “It” says is almost always very inflammatory, and is
consistently, and repeatedly is stoking the racial divide in the U.S. and
world, at a time in history with the information age and the global economy
more and more struggling to move towards greater openness to diversity (race,
gender, religion, etc.) as nations (esp. democratic ones/emerging) recognize
the colossal challenges we face as a planet due to climate change and many
other gigantic issues, like reducing and holding accountable leaky CRIMe plants,
etc. As Special U.S. Prosecutor Mueller gets closer to issuing a report on
possible Russian Collusion by the Trump presidential campaign and other
nefarious activities by POTUS “It”, including obstruction of justice, etc.,
POTUS “It” just sent out a warning he plans to issue a call to arms (perhaps
just fists, not guns) for this hard core Alt-Right buddies, including bikers,
KKK, Neo-Nazi’s, Nationalists and White Supremacists, to get ready to more or
less take to the streets and make their presence known in favor of POTUS “It’.
Going back earlier in time during POTUS “Its” term, “It” showed “Its” true
colors, first by declaring a broad international Muslim ban impacting several
countries followed by “Its” whipsawing type reaction to deadly street riots
that occurred in Virginia. The latter mentioned riots occurred in the streets in
Charlottesville, VA where there was deadly violence (one women dies after being
run over by an avowed White Supremacist) in August, 2017, involving an
organized protest by a group made up of Ku Klux Klan, neo Nazis, Nationalists
and White Supremacists, who were protesting the tearing down of the
Confederate, Robert E Lee statue at the City Square. At first, POTUS “It”
condemned those latter mentioned groups, and then shortly thereafter, POTUS
“It” reversed “Its” decision as “It” drew upon what was termed the “moral equivalency”
of the “Alt-Right” extremists (Breitbart News editorial opinion), the group of
organizations previously mentioned. And those citizens that were just gathering
in a public space as the City government was in the midst of shortly
implementing the decision of the municipal commission to exercise the right of
the local government consisting of elected officials (serving their
constituents) to implement the removal of the Robert Lee statue that is very
offensive to many citizens whose ancestry suffered the cruelty and ravages of
legalized slavery, and the U.S. Civil War that ensued as the Confederates
refused to give up their self-declared rights to own, sell and use and abuse slaves
as they saw fit. “It” amazingly, criticized what “It” called the
“Alt-Left”/innocent citizens in the City Square, describing them as “very, very
violent” “alt-left” who “It” said sought to confront the white nationalists,
and neo-Nazi’s groups that had gathered in Charlottesville; which is one of
over a 100,000 BIG “It” LIES, because these groups clearly charged into the
City Square with torches, sticks and clubs and screaming racists’ chants as
they came full steam at the citizens in the City Square like it was a battle
between the Confederates and the Union soldiers. And this isn’t the only
incident where “It” defended the indefensible hate groups – he just made
comments in recent days (March 2019) after some 50+ individuals (and 30+
injured) were gunned down at a Mosque in New Zeeland, by a nationalist
extremist type – Amazingly, instead of
immediately offering some conciliatory condolences for the grieving families of
the murdered and injured, “It” finds a need to mention that “It” doesn’t think
this kind of nationalist extremist behavior is a problem in the U.S. or the
world – in other words, this was just a fluke occurrence, which is contrary to
what “hate” crime studies are showing).
Dictators/Strongmen from the Past (And “It” also praises
past dictators/strongmen on how they massacred and obliterated their
adversaries, such as Mussolini, Saddam Hussein, and Kaddafi (he hasn’t
mentioned Hitler yet, but I feel certain that is coming soon); and he casually makes
pronouncements that we should think about invading Venezuela because “they have
all that oil and they are right in our backyard” [“easy pickings” you might say];
and “It” criticizes the past GOP administrations for not going in and taking
over all the oil fields as a primary objective in Iraq as soon as the U.S. invaded
them under the George W Bush Administration; and said more of less, the same
thing about the prior Iraqi war orchestrated by his father, the late George H.W.
Bush.
INTRODUCTION/ANNOUNCEMENT
OF THE “PUPPET DANCE”
Getting back to how GoPP.global, REAP, PEWHASOP, and in
particular, how PACATO plans to bring alliances together to rejoice, sing,
shout and dance the “Puppet Dance” as we celebrate our purpose and unity to
work diligently as a diverse conglomerate of many people, all working in
concert (orchestrating) for the Common Good of Humanity and the Planet, and the
general welfare, and health & safety of the public. Public officials/politicians,
who refuse to go after CRIMe plants, surely cannot care much about the latter;
so I doubt they will be celebrating with us. And remember, and keep telling
yourself, by doing all the aforementioned, which is certainly not against the
law – not ever a scintilla; you are exercising your civil rights, or for that
matter, your basis human rights, which are virtually honored in all decent
civilized societies across the globe, which is merely expressing yourself and
your strong emotional feelings – IT IS TOTALLY HARMLESS, and it is a good
release of the stress and frustration many of you are having, just like me, with
“this, that and especially with ‘It’”.
We at REAP, PACATO, People’s Party, and PEWHASOP will always
be peaceful and law abiding regardless of what we face, and considerate of our
fellow human beings across the nation and the world, especially with our
current democratic allies and the emerging democratic societies. We will not be
UGLY, like that described in UGLY.network. Hopefully, individuals and groups
will learn from the latter that being as described in UGLY.network just “ain’t
too pretty [whatever ‘pretty’ happens to be? – as so defined by ‘It’]”.
The initial idea of the Puppet Dance came out of PACATO
because this organization emphasizes the “the joining and coming together with
our allies from near and afar” for the principled purpose of working for the “Common
Good” (CG). The latter includes allied neighborhoods and groups, and allied
local, state/provincial, national and international governmental and nongovernmental
organizations – NGOs. So the dance, which is performed by two dancers joining
their hands over their heads to dance in whatever fashion or style they so
choose (rock, country, jazz, rap, bluegrass, etc.), is to represent unified
principled people showing love, kindness and compassion towards one another,
regardless of their fellow man’s origin, religion, race, gender, sexual
orientation, age, income/financial assets, education, etc., etc. Generally
speaking, to honor “It”, one of the two dancing partners is supposed to be
“bully-like” and dominant (the “puppeteer”), and take control over the other the
dancer (the “puppet”), more or less, over the other dance partner in a playful
manner (even though “It” probably wouldn’t be that playful). So in essence, one
dancing partner is “loosie-goosie” and lets the other dance partner who is in
control, kind of flop them around (at least their hands, arms and the whole
upper appendages, including shoulders), in rhythm to whatever music is being
played – when you first do it, I guarantee you will be chuckling with delight!
It truly is fun and hilarious! You now know everything you need to know to do
the Puppet Dance; and think about “It” when you are doing it, because, after
all, this dance was named in “Its” honor.
CHANTING TO RELIEVE
STRESS FROM HEARING POTUS “Its” NONSENSE 24/7
There are many societies from the past, and still plenty
today (e.g., Native Americans of various tribal nations across the U.S. and the
Americas and elsewhere) that gather in a circle with their kinship and friends
and chant together as they are individually and jointly thinking of vastness of
the universe, and praising the Creator of the blessed earthlings of many
persuasions and the blessed earth for its magnificence and many wonders and all
its creatures and species, both flora and fauna, and the heavenly skies of the
expansive universe with its enumerable planets, stars, and galaxies as we all
reside here together on one tiny little spot as a microscopic particle of the
vast Godly whole. The substance of the chant varies with the seasons, and more
broadly with Earth’s orbital changes, which have influenced climate and life
forms for more than 200 million years. This is a complicated field of study
left to the Astrophysicists, but archeologists have shown many times over how
civilizations have been so heavily influenced by these cycles. But for now,
with all that is going on in the U.S. and elsewhere in the world, we can
simplify our songs and dances (i.e., the Puppet Dance) and chanting to
something that resonates deep within us based on current events and the
circumstances and situation we find ourselves in during these very troublesome
and disturbing times. So here are some chants you can try as you sit in a
circle with your kinship and friends (longtime friends as well as new friends –
it is a time when we especially need kinship and friendship in our communities
to comfort and sooth one another):
HEEHA LIGHER, HEEHA LIGHER, HEEHA LIGHER, HEEHA LIGHER
(repeat many times)
ITTA LIGHER, ITTA LIGHER, ITTA LIGHER, ITTA LIGHER (repeat,
and repeat)
DICK TAE TORR, DICK TAE TORR, DICK TAE TORR, DICK TAE TORR
(repeat)
IMM PEECHA ITTA NOWA, IMM PEECHA ITTA NOWA (repeat)

ACTT TORR,
ITTA MISS SODGE EE NIST, ITTA MISS SODGE EE NIST, etc.
ITTA ZEENO FOBE, ITTA ZEENO PHOBE, ITTA ZEENO FOBE, etc.
NOTE: Of course you don’t have to be a Native American to come up with these chants, but rather it is something you can create on your own, just by reaching down deep into your inner feelings as each passes during POTUS “Its” term in office (check out the RNC/GOP scrabble game to get some more ideas).
PEWHASOP: Protecting
Environment & general Welfare & Health And Safety
Of Public
Now getting back to the purpose-driven serious stuff. In
addition to, and in conjunction with working for the “Common Good (CG)”, we (all
of us) are a multi-purpose organization (remember, we are multi-taskers too) further
principled in “PEWHASOP.org”, which puts the code of ethics right “out in the
open” that many professionals (including government officials by the way, who
are mostly attorneys) solemnly vow that they will always abide by (engineers,
attorneys, doctors, architects, etc.) the sacred principle of working “to
Protect the Environment and general Welfare & Health And Safety Of the
Public” (= PEWHASOP). We like to say PEWHASOP, because it reminds us that an
organization called PEW Research Center which is a nonpartisan fact tank (not
like those so called “GOP/RNC Contortionists’ Think Tanks) that informs the
public about the issues, attitudes and trends shaping the world – it oftentimes
can be a good resource for politicians and political parties to get a sense of
the public’s current concerns about government and its leaders, and the
everyday issues concerning citizens over a period of time. PEW collects a lot
of data on current public sentiment regarding the government, including POTUS.
The “has” in PEWHASOP, reminds us what “has”
been the fundamental basis for the centralized governmental structure of the
United States since it first declared our it in the U.S. Constitution. The short version of the latter is:
”WE THE PEOPLE SHALL HAVE A GOVERNMENT OF THE PEOPLE, BY THE PEOPLE, AND FOR THE PEOPLE…”
PEOPLE’S PARTY
(GoPP.global)
Which leads me to now to further introduce the recently
formed “People’s Party” (GoPP.global), which is an organization that intends to
put all of the aforementioned agenda, and more (let’s just say, “a lot of
ideas”), altogether under one umbrella and go forth and expect to be heard/listened
to by those out there who may be interested in what we think and say, like the
various matters that have been presented thus far on CRIMe plant, etc.; similar
to what is regularly given in the PEW Research data, except “PP” can formulate
some of their own questions to pose to its subscribers/readers.
GOP/RNC SCRABBLE GAME
So why am I telling you all of this? Partly I am doing so
you will understand the relationship of the newly established websites being
introduced here and how they evolved with one spawning the growth/development
of the other. The order that they evolved was:
youREAPwhatyousow.org, PACATO.org, GoPP.global,
PEWHASOP.org, and lastly, although not discussed yet, UGLY.network.
The latter all started during a Scrabble game I was
participating in. We all agreed to put out on the table as a starting point:
Game #1 (GOP), followed by Game #2: (RNC). It was tricky, because then you had
to associate all the words that popped into your head, which generally speaking
for the participants in the game, was very difficult. Just like I told you
about “It”, it was painfully impossible for any of us to spell out or say what
these acronyms commonly stood for, which I cannot even say here. So what
follows are the words that sprung forth, in a highly spirited game of Scrabble:
GOP: “Greedy Olde Partisans” – that was the general consensus,
followed by a close second to
GOP = “Greedy Oligarchy Proponents”.
RNC: “Russian Nefarious Collusion” (that latter was unanimous
– no question about “It”).
In addition to “Russian”, which was overwhelmingly the
number one choice for “R”, besides “Reckless” and “Ruthless”, other alternatives
included (some words we cannot include because they are slang/swear words,
which we just can’t do right here and now):

“THE DAY THE EARTH
STOOD STILL”
Ever watch the movie (or maybe it was an
episode of a TV series?) “The Day the Earth Stood Still”? In this movie, a group
of individuals step outside their home to discover that everything is “still”
or fixed and not moving and they hear very little sound if any. The question is
asked among themselves: “What has happened?”; “What’s going on?”; “How did this
happen and when will this nightmare end?” I don’t know about you, but those are
the exact questions I ask myself every day when I hear preposterous hourly news
about what “It” is up or down (or sideways) to, and what is going on at the not
so white, White House/helm of the nation and the world? I am sorry, but I can’t
call POTUS anything except “It” because it is such an anomaly and should never have
happened, if it were not for the GOP and RNC (“Greedy Olde Partisans” and
“Russian Nefarious Collusion”). Maybe this is catching you off guard and you
are asking yourself how could anyone (such as PACATO, REAP, People’s Party and
PEWHASOP) question “It” such as I am doing here, and why don’t I show more
respect to POTUS? Granted, the office of the U.S. Presidency alone is due respect,
and that I will give; but I am sorry, “It” does not deserve the same; not one
scintilla.
UGLY.network
(UGLY RIGHT DOWN TO THE BONE!)
That is why I started UGLY.network so
people like you and I can voice our opinions in a collective way on what we
think is truly “UGLY” in our communities, states, nation and the world. And why
shouldn’t we express these feelings? After all, why shouldn’t those in charge
of communities (cities, counties, and neighborhoods), states/provinces, and
nations hear what we both like and dislike; but also, in some cases, hear what
we despise and consider downright despicable and pure UGLY. This of course is
not a physical UGLY I am talking about, which there should be no such thing!
Whether someone is considered UGLY physically, which is highly important to
some individuals (like “It” who calls people dogs and horses, and makes fun of
the disabled, etc.) is unimportant to most human beings, including me and most
likely you also, because we recognize that the true definition of UGLY goes
much deeper that that – you might say, UGLY, in the sense being discussed here,
which is really the only one that counts, goes “right down to the bone”. Sadly,
and ironically, those human beings who think they are so “pretty and beautiful”
in everyone else’s eyes, use that expression which says that “beauty is only skin
deep and UGLY is right down to the bone”. Do you think “It” has said that expression
many times in the past?? I would guess yes! And he will probably call me UGLY
as a “something or other”, and a moron, like “It” has been called by some of
his now fired appointees (although, at least one of them called “It” an idiot,
which actually is the lowest end of the IQ scale for moron, imbecile, idiot, buffoon,
etc.). And after all of this, which I hope gets published a zillion times over
across the globe (and by the way, YOU ALL HAVE MY FULL APPROVAL TO DO SO), “It”
will probably send “Its” goons after me (i.e., such as the justice department
that he has taken over from the nation), or “It” will recruit some of his
buddies in the “dictator/authoritarian club” to come after me and do some bone
sawing or something ghastly, which by the way, is one of the “G” choices in the
GOP/RNC Scrabble game I mentioned earlier.
Think of it this way: was Elephant Man (go see
the movie) UGLY? He sure looked different than most of us, but he was truly a
beautiful man for his short life. One example of the true UGLY in the sense that
I am referring to, would be “taking children away from their parents” as part
of a pronounced and announced (by US AG) national policy and strategy to
discourage suffering asylum seekers from seeking asylum in the U.S. due to the
hardships and persecution they are experiencing in their native country. Let me
ask you this, if you have children do you want your children to use “It” as a
role model to follow and pattern their lives after through their developmental
years? There are churches and institutions that offer character school classes (Character
101), and you would be far better off if you sent your child to that class
rather than have them look to “It” as their role model.
FTF (FOX-TWITTER-FACEBOOK) AND NEWS MEDIA
ON “IT” & GOP/RNC
FOX sure portrays him as great role model
and someone we should all adore and admire, but then on the other hand, if you believe
that FOX is an honest & legitimate news media source and not the “right arm
propaganda machine” for the factual-lacking POTUS and the GOP/RNC and “Its” “alt-right”
followers, you are sadly mistaken. Some of you I am sure are saying “why do you
have to associate the GOP/RNC with ‘It’, alt-right, and FOX/propaganda?” Well I
am sorry to say, it was your party and your process that nominated “It” and all
the baggage that goes along with “It”. So you own “It” and you are identified
now and forever with “It” and everything about “It”. And why not just admit it:
nominating and electing “It” was just the naturally evolution of the GOP/RNC, and
it is still deeply rooted in what you are all about. Look at it this way, you
got your big tax reduction package and everything else he is throwing at the
feet of BIG BUSINESS and all of you, and I am sure there will be more. So don’t
tell us you are going to convert, and you are going to admit yourself in a
treatment center to undo your brainwashing, because once a GOP/RNC, always a
GOP/RNC; and those of us who oppose the latter and everything they stand for,
need to keep telling ourselves, if someone is tainted with GOP/RNC, stay away
from them, and keep them out of your organizations and political party, because
over time they will infiltrate and corrupt it because it is in their blood. It
would be nice if we could inject them with a microchip so we can detect when
they are around us (although we, being decent human beings, wouldn’t ever do
something like that, which is exactly the kind of tactics they would use
against us if they were able to and get away with it).
And if you believe it is best to rely on
Facebook, Twitter and FOX (FTF) to educate and inform yourself before you cast
your ballots on election day, you are sadly doing yourself, your family and
your community a disservice, because those sources are propaganda infected. Unfortunately,
you all need to go to a treatment center to undo the brainwashing of the latter.
You have a little more hope than the GOP/RNC (who has none), but for most of
you, especially for those who still rely on this garbage for news, especially
those queens and kings of Facebook, who everyone (friends and relatives) flaunt
over, are probably a lost cause because you have been engulfed by the propaganda
machine and you don’t even know it. Think about it hard because you and your
children and your children’s children, etc., will have to live with the
consequences of the choices you make for reliable news media coverage and ultimately
on the choice you make at the ballot box. Even the main stream media is a lot
better than FTF (Facebook, Twitter & FOX), although there are others out
there that are better and more factual in my opinion, for the primary reason
that they are independent/nonprofit orgs/NGOs that aren’t fed by Big Business
advertising dollars (colossal OEM and entertainment companies, etc.) and are
not paired up with the entertainment industry (entertainment = news, and vice
versa, “just ain’t a good thing for society!!”).
“THE DAY THE EARTH
STOOD CRAZY”
I am not expecting you or someone else to take over for the mammoth
project I have decided to spearhead (not too many want this job, but someone
has to do it), but I am expecting you to be a participant in the process and
offer ideas/suggestions, and pray, rejoice, shout, sing, dance (Puppet Dance) and
celebrate PACATO with your allies to show your support and our unity in purpose
to end “the Day the Earth Stood Crazy”! And, believe it or not, the
nation (as the world leader) and world, was and is, on the brink of disaster; as
evidenced by “It” continually condoning and advancing isolationism and supporting
and advocating for authoritarian oligarchic dictatorships and the military and
financial takeover of the world by “It” and the “dictator/authoritarian club”.
Could this happen? Sure it could. Do you think “It” would like to see this
happen? Sure “It” would. On the path we are going on right now, we will soon be
led by “It” as an authoritarian/dictator who now has the justice department and
military in “Its” pocket, and you can start seeing signs that “It” recognizes
that, and “It” is such a skilled “It” at conning people, organizations,
legislative bodies, states, nations, corporations, employees, appointees, etc.,
that all indications by “Its” mannerisms, is that “It” knows and feels strongly
that “It” “has got it in the bag”, and is ready for blastoff soon. I guess I
should be capitalizing the U.S. justice department and military, secretary of
state, and all that now, but now that “It” has all that in the bag now, it is
all “It”, “It”, “It”, etc. This is very serious stuff, as we all know that “It”
has huge executive powers, and “It” is the commander in chief of the military
by statute, which is a very, very scary thought, which relies on the slim hope
and happenstance that the generals will not go along with “Its” crazy orders to
attack some country, etc., following a tantrum or misunderstanding, etc. by
“It” because of something someone said to “It” or maybe just gave “It” a funny
look that sent “It” into a tirade, and a Twitter attack, followed by some
serious military aerial attacks with real dangerous bombs and large size ammo, like
what the second amendment rights group would love to get their grimy mitts on,
or at least have their almighty leader “It” do it for them.
WHY START REAP,
PACATO, PP (People’s Party), PEWHASOP AND UGLY?
You may wonder why I (Giacomo) am starting all these websites
and eventually, probably one or more 501c3 or a c4 of some other kind of organizations
or whatever? And why not just have one rather than four of five? Well here is
my answer:
I started out with REAP, Reality Environmental Action
Proponents, under the website “youREAPwhatyousow.org”. As I told you earlier, I
did this because I know that these thousands of leaky CRIMe plants out there need
to be dealt with, we all have to take it on our own because those in
government, including elected and appointed officials, just aren’t doing their
job to protect the environment and the general welfare and health & safety
of the public. Because of the latter and other things that are going on that
affect us all and those and what (e.g., earth) we cherish and love now and in
the future, we have this real and broad and expansive need for coordination and
organizing to deal with all of this. For example, REAP plans to coordinate with
neighborhood watchdog groups in contracting with consulting engineers and
analytic laboratories to sample and test around the CRIMe plants, and may
eventually even help these watchdog groups with the funding of these chemical
contamination investigations studies.
Fortunately, I have the advantage of helping the
aforementioned process along because I have done that kind of work during my
career as a professional civil/environmental engineer (P.E., BS & MS
degrees). Let it be known, that at one time in my career, I worked for several
of these leaky CRIMe (Chemically Real Intensive Manufacturing establishments)
plants and I was a Whistle Blower because I recognized that these plants were
leaking like sieves. It is a long story, and if you want to know more about it,
just go to youREAPwhatyousow.org. In short, nothing was done about this disclosure
when I reported it back in the year 2000 to the Michigan Attorney General’s
office, the Michigan Governor and the Michigan Department of Environmental
Quality (MDEQ); and nothing has been done since. It is not just a problem at
these plants I worked at (was and is), but it is a problem with thousands of
these CRIMe plants across the nation and worldwide. As mentioned previously, there
are environmental regulatory loopholes (exclusions/exemptions) that
surprisingly let these CRIMe plants operate without having the proper
environmental safeguards; but regardless, they were and are responsible for any
chemical releases they cause now or in the past, and this exclusion I mentioned
did not give them a “license to pollute”. Nobody pays much attention to this
(government, news media, etc.) because the leaky CRIMe plants are connected to
the world largest corporations/OEMs (original equipment manufacturers –
automotive, etc.), who have this massive supply chain of CRIMe plants, that if
discovered and held accountable would create substantial disruption in the
supply chain and financial demands on the companies to remediate the pollution
they caused and retrofit their manufacturing plants so they wouldn’t be leaking
like sieves anymore. And there is simply
no reason why they shouldn’t be operating these plants in a sustainable manner
as described. Look at it this way: If they have the technical expertise and
sophistication to reliably and consistently make “world class, top quality
finished parts”, then why can’t they have that same type of corporate ability
as it applies to the protection and preservation (and restoration as needed) of
the environment and the general welfare and health & safety of the public?
The answer to the question is YES THEY CAN! REAP, PACATO, PP and PEWHASOP as a
group do not want to see these CRIMe plants go out of business because of the
economic hardship that would be caused to workers, the community, etc.; but
rather, we want these plants to reform and get their act together (if they
haven’t already) and do it right not only in terms of QA/QC for the products
and services they provide to their customers, but also for the CG and PEWHASOP
(Common Good of Humanity and the Planet, in a manner Protective of the
Environment and the general Welfare & Health And Safety Of the Public).
LOCAL, STATE, REGION
& NATION: ACTION PLAN ON LEAKY CRIMe PLANTS
So besides what the CRIMe plants have to do, other states
(esp. MI), regions (esp. Midwest/Great Lakes) and nations need to follow California’s
lead (CA is probably not perfect either, and quite possibly they need to do
more on this issue also) and go after these CRIMe plants and hold them
accountable and make them do what is right, including incorporating needed environmental
safeguards into their operations (means they need to include capital and
operational expenditures in their budgets for this essential need).
OEMs & OEM
SUPPLIERS SHIELDED BY NEWS=ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY
Getting back to the OEMs: they are so treasured and adored
by all in the news media, especially the mainstream news/entertainment industry
(entertainment = news, and news = entertainment, and Reality Star =”It”) who
depend on them heavily for advertising revenues, and even the nonprofits news
media sources (e.g., PBS) depend on their large philanthropists/foundations, representing
some of the wealthiest dynasties in the world (Ford Foundation, etc.). The
mainstream news media organizations depend on the OEMs for a big share of their
advertising revenue (for the most part, the entertainment industry owns the
news now), so surely they don’t want to offend them by telling them to get
after those leaky CRIMe plants to correct their problems for the overall “common
good” of humanity and the planet. So who is left to pursue this? Even the
independent news media sources depend on foundations to a certain extent, which
creates conflicts for them to really go out and report the hard truth about
these CRIMe plants. Sadly, even environmental nonprofit organizations are
following the nonprofit approach of being a friendly participant/partner in the
community with local businesses, and do not act as they should, as they use to
do three or four decades back – i.e., as a “watch dog” over these CRIMe plants,
rather than taking the middle ground approach of being chummy to these CRIMe
plants because they want to be able to go the Chamber of Commerce meetings and
seek a broad support of the community’s wealthy individuals’ and businesses’
(e.g., OEM suppliers, etc.) donations, instead of concentrating on their real
mission, which is to protect/preserve/restore the environment and do the same
for the general welfare and health & safety of the public. If I was them, I
would rather see my 501c3 organization sink rather than partnering with these CRIMers.
Even Ralph Nader is taking the middle ground now, as evidenced by one of his
recent books – OMG! What is the world coming to? Don’t get me wrong, I admire Ralph
Nader so strongly for all he has done over the decade for consumers, the
environment, and the health & safety of the public, etc., but this backing
off from the watchdog approach scares me and makes me think that we are all getting
brainwashed by the GOP/RNC as previously defined herein.
WEST MICHIGAN &
MIDWEST SENTIMENT ON POTUS/”IT” (center of “It”)
What I often now hear from various people (a lot of them, W
Michiganders who voted Democrat) I associated with over the years in various
circles, professional and otherwise is: “let’s just give ‘It’ a chance; ‘It’ seems
to be doing so much for the economy and ‘It’ is sealing our borders so well and
helping to keep our jobs here in the USA by putting tariffs on goods from China
and other nations, and ‘It’ passed that big tax break for all of us, and ‘It’
is getting tough on our allied democratic nations in NATO so they know we mean
business and we could drop out of that group at a drop of a hat and do just fine on
our own without them; and besides all of that, ‘It’ is just a swell and overall
honest, sincere and dedicated guy whose
only care during ’Its’ presidency is to do what is best for the American
public”. Honestly, I actually hear all that BS (bellicose/sly & slippery: chosen to avoid saying “poop” word)
recanted from those individuals who get all their news from FTF (Facebook,
Twitter, Fox), and they actually believe all that garbage, and think that the agenda
by “It” is so great for us all and the global world we operate in. I am not
going to dissect all that BS here because it would take up too much wasted
space, but suffice to say, some of these people that are being bamboozled I
actually thought at one time were sensible people; but unfortunately that got
sucked into FTF and thought it was all real and a fair & balanced view on
the country’s state of affairs. Of course, they don’t like to even hear the
word global, and they’re looking for a pure world someday under “It” that will
suit them and their pure little children and grandchildren, who all attend
their pure little schools and their pure little church, in their pure little
neighborhood, in their pure little community, where everyone has their desired
and preferred beliefs, ethnic background, etc. They also don’t understand why
everybody doesn’t like Putin and the rest of the “dictators/authoritarians
club”, who together have the combined power to jointly fixed this messed up
world so it would be a planet that would better suit us, after some of the herd
(“actual talk”) gets thinned out due to natural events, such as droughts,
floods, food/water shortages, etc.; coupled with a few unnatural events offered
and supported by “It” and the military/industrial complex that is waiting in
the wings to crank out the war machine to get the economy humming.
DO THE “PUPPET
DANCE”: “OH HAPPY DAY!!”
We have seen plenty of “It” now to know what “It” is all
about. So everyone now is just plain and simple going to have to decide whether
you are with “It” or against “It”. Being against “It” of course means you are
never going to vote for “It” even if “It” runs for the “County dog catcher”
position. And above all, it means that you and “like thinkers” are going to
join together and gather at a million different places in your neighborhood,
local community, county, state/province, nation, etc., and start shouting and
singing “Oh Happy Day” or something like that, and play some great music and
listen to some great bands across the State, the Region, the Nation and
everywhere across the globe and put on your best or most liked clothes, hats,
makeup, hairdos, haircuts, etc;
AND START DOING THE PUPPET DANCE IN
HONOR OF “IT” AND WHAT “IT” IS ALL ABOUT; AND CERTAINLY, THE PUPPET DANCE
T-SHIRT AND CAP (and their contents), AND PERFORMING THE PUPPET DANCE, IS
PERFECTLY, UNQUESTIONABLY WITHOUT A DOUBT, WITHIN OUR LEGAL EVERYDAY RIGHTS UNDER
THE U.S. CONSTITUTION, FREEDOM OF SPEECH, ETC.
You can be assured that “It” will like it, because, after
all, “It” yearns for an awful lot of attention. By the way, UGLY.network stands
for Usurp, Greedy, Lackluster
and Yearning. What a coincidence!
GOP/RNC KNEW
POTUS/”IT” VERY WELL BEFORE WE ALL DID
We know “It” a lot better now, but let’s admit it, we and
the GOP/RNC knew a lot about “It” before the primaries occurred leading up to
the 2016 presidential election, and then we got a heavy dose of “It” during the
primaries, and a whole huge heaping pile of “It” awareness after “It” was sworn
into office (if you looked close, you would have seen that “It” had “Its”
fingers crossed at the inauguration). So now we have seen a whole colossal
landfill pile of information on the “UGLY” side
of “It” (“It” only has one side); and “It” certainly has outdone
“Itself”, far exceeding our worst predictions and nightmares, and we fear much,
much more is to come. Eventually “It” is going to peak, and that could be REAL
BAD FOR ALL OF US, or it could mean that “It” hopefully is going to come to a
peaceful end, as “It” and family are politely escorted out of the tainted White
House that is in need of a good thorough scrubbing and a fresh coat of paint
ASAP.
So every day, you have to wake up and call “It” for what
“It” is. And don’t ever “sugar coat it!” And if you catch anyone doing that,
such as a friend, colleague or loved one, call them on it. And give them some milk
toast and tell them to think about their foolish “sugar coating” of “It” that
day, while they are eating that soggy toast. And if they don’t wise up by the
time they finish that milk toast or they just won’t concede and admit they made
a serious mistake about “sugar coating” “It” that day, then give them a cup of
cold “coffee to go with some curdled lumpy milk” and show them the door.
DON’T QUIBBLE/MINCE
WORDS: CALL a lie a LIE, and a liar a LIER
Why quibble about what to call all these mistruths,
exaggerations, trickery, etc. – plain and simple, they are all just LIES. Call it for what it is.
And why not call lies “LIES”,
and call those who tell these lies repeatedly and in great numbers to the
public, “LIARS”. Enough
about this business of whether it is fully accurate or not, or that it is a
misrepresentation of the truth. Just call it simply and plainly flat out “LIES”. “It” has been on a steady
roll/run ever since that expensive inauguration for which the finances just don’t
add up, increasing “Its”: LIES/DAY
to the public from about four when “It” started “Its” term to at least twice
that now, and approaching double digits now (10+). Sadly, I sincerely believe that little
children in kindergarten or first or second grade know we got a LIAR for a President “It” is lacking
basic good principles, empathy, compassion and respect for the common good of
all humanity and the planet as a whole. If “It” gives little respect to humans
and the planet, why should “It” expect to get any respect or admiration back? Without
“sugar coating it”, just say: “‘It’ is just plainly and simply a pathetic, and
a sad representation of humanity. Furthermore, we want an ‘It’ [that we don’t
have to call ‘It’] that works hard for the betterment of the common good of
humanity and the planet, and not for the betterment of ‘Itself’ and ‘Its’
family, friends and close business associates and dictator/authoritarian
buddies”.
DON’T SUGAR COAT IT:
CALL “IT” FOR WHAT “IT” IS (one who lies is LIER!)
I am not, and we are not as a group obligated to “sugar coat”
when we talk about “It”, and we should call “It” as we see it in plain English
as he often unjustifiably does about everything and everybody ALL THE TIME.
“It” is not going to change, in fact, “It” is only going to get worse, and
worse, as we have already observed over the last couple of years, just like “Its”
DAILY LIE count spiraling upward week after week. Politicians have always
tended to hedge, and even though they know full well what “It” is up to and
that “It” is a disgrace and embarrassment to our beloved nation, and a huge
liability, they pretend that “It” is doing what is right for the country and
the common good, which is drastically in conflict with reality. Well, as I
said, I am not a politician, and most of you aren’t either, so we the “People’s
Party” (just a website or a yet to be formally organized educational group) at
this point will tell it like it is, and we won’t hesitate to tell exactly what we
think about “It”. We are not a political party, but rather, we are just a group
of like minded principled humanitarians and environmentalists who like to party
(that’s the “party” part of it) and have fun while we are working for the
common good of humanity and the planet, and taking time, of course, to join
hands with our fellow compatriots and DO
THE “PUPPET DANCE!!”
And please dear God, speaking to our loyal readership, DO
NOT LET THE GOP/RNC con you into thinking that “It” is just fine, and “It” is just
going through some bumpy sections of the road right now, things will smooth out
soon and “It” will get back on track and begin once again doing all sorts of
wonderful things for mankind (NOT) and the planet (NOT) start concentrating on
achieving everything under the sun, and may even reopen “Its” exclusive
university for the UP AND COMERS. “Its”
great programs, already declared around the world to be the best ever in the
total history of the republic, will serve the American Public’s best interest
(= BS today, tomorrow, and forever). And don’t ever think a GOP person is going
to change their ways – they are like Florida alligators with excellent stealth
and just waiting in the weeds to pounce on you as soon as you have a kind, caring
or weak moment and begin to waiver and start talking to GOPers as they creep or
slither up to you, saying things like “let’s just give them and ‘It’ a chance, and
recognize that they, the high and mighty GOP/RNC, are really all good patriots
and sincerely care about providing what is best for all U.S. citizens, and
don’t believe all this malarkey you are hearing such as people accusing GOP of
voter suppression, extreme gerrymandering, or the recently reported concealing
and/or walking off and/or destroying large quantities of 2018 absentee ballots
in NC, which undoubtedly swung the vote their way, which is fair, because they
didn’t do it intentionally on purpose, but rather inadvertently put these
ballots in the back room with all the archived files to be retrieved at later date,
once someone recognized that they were missing, perhaps during the next
election when they start re-evaluating the latest in voter suppression
strategies and how to properly store and archive absentee ballots for selective
districts who have a preference for archiving ballots in a safe place for
slumbering.
GOP/RNC HAS NO LIMITS
ON VOTER SUPPRESSION AND STEALING VOTES
Just remember, there is no limit on what the GOP/RNC will do
to gain complete control of the government so they can deregulate, allow self-regulation
of CRIMe plants that degrade the environment while imposing additional health
& safety risks to the public so they can further increase their vast wealth
and continue to increase income inequality and look the other way on those individuals
and families deprived of their basic needs, like adequate healthcare, shelter,
food and safe water. The GOP sees the day coming soon where their ilk will
become the minority, and the current minorities will become the majority, and
more women will be in high office, which believe me, they don’t particularly
like and they are getting quite jittery about this happening in the near future
and they fear their macho style leadership may be fading quickly. The whole scenario
just described is more than likely exactly what we need right now, and the sooner
it happens, the better off we will all be.
What we don’t need is our nation to continue on the path it
is currently going (in at least 2nd or 3rd gear now) which
is leading our nation and the world down a rocky cataclysmic cliff towards the
abyss and its ultimate destruction and annihilation. Recognize that all “It”
cares about is the aggrandizement and increase in “Its” personal wealth for
“Itself” and “Its” like minded family and associates. The GOP is about to
become obsolete, and you can see they are getting more and more desperate and
using a strategy of hate, isolationism and nationalism as they teeter on the
edge and cater to those who fear their privileged life style and existence is
possibly in jeopardy, which is making them feel intimidated and vulnerable in
our ever increasing global/mobile and diverse society. The day they fizzle out,
which is hopefully soon, will be the best thing that could happen to the USA
and the world.
We are not saying here who exactly we favor (i.e., political
candidates, etc.), but we unquestionably want to see “It” gone ASAP, which
realistically, probably won’t be until 2020, providing, hopefully, there is a
candidate who can defeat “It”. But regardless, “It” = GOP/RNC, and GOP/RNC =
“It”, and we want that whole nefarious “pile” gone forever as a political
entity, by losing at the ballot box, or possibly impeachment as it relates to
“It”, and I don’t imagine those expressed wishes surprise anyone after all the
aforementioned.
ANATOMY OF A BULLY:
If you have ever been confronted by a “bully” there is only
one way to contend with them, and that is to stand up to them. If “It” has “Its”
army around “It”, “It” will be very bold, brave (false brave) and confident,
but if “It” is alone, “It” will cower and whimper in the corner, and not give
any resistance and likely will not be aggressive towards you. Just remember,
that deep down inside a bully is a coward, and if “It” is one on one, “It” will
almost always back down because “It” is a hollow, empty shell of a human being.
So don’t be afraid of the bully, “It”, even if you heard “Its” recent “bully/yellow”
talk by pronouncing that “It” has the support of the police, military and the
“Bikers for ‘It’”, and warned that “it could be very bad” if they have to get
tough on “Its” opponents. The latter is another example of the same kind of
“stoking” that “It” has been doing repeatedly, starting in the early days of
“Its” primary run for the POTUS position when “It” was encouraging “Its”
supporters at rallies to attack the press, and praising “Its” supporters for
sucking punching “Its” opponents, and continuing to the present day with
GOP/RNC turning a blind eye and deaf ear to it all! (And they consider themselves
the Law & Order party?? – WHAT A SAD, SAD, PATHETIC excuse for an American
political party! – they truly need to become extinct just like the large
endangered wild game they hunt down in the jungles and kill! After this
happens, maybe we could mount some of the worst of their lot on a Wall of
Shame!).
FINAL
THOUGHTS/QUESTIONS
Question: When are we going to end having so darn many
public officials elected or appointed to governmental positions that are attorneys?
Attorneys have their place and it is a respected profession that serves the
public good to uphold our justice system and laws, and provide for equal
justice due process for all U.S. citizens. But the questions still is? Why are
there so many of them running communities, states/provinces, our nation and the
world? And why have Big business owners elected to high office if they have
obvious conflicts of interest because of their financial holdings and business
ownership, including ownership and management/development of such businesses by
family members:?
Why not have more governmental elected and appointed
officials who are educated/trained individuals such as construction managers, engineers,
scientists, geologists, architects, social workers, and more representation
from women, minorities, LGBTQ, ADEA (older workers and professionals), nurses,
doctors, IT tech people, building trades, etc.; who as a “whole” would be more
apt to do what is right for the betterment of humanity and the planet,
including fulfilling basic human rights and basic sustenance needs, such as
having programs that will lead to individuals and families having what is
needed such as food, water and shelter and healthcare, as well as providing aid
and assistance for the mentally ill, homeless, etc., and being knowledgeable in
critical areas, such as practical aspects of public infrastructure, environment,
ecology, space exploration, healthcare, meteorology, hydro-geology, hydrology,
climate change, geology, etc.

SOME REALITY TV AND MOVIES FROM THE PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE
“You got to believe Bolie!!”; “The Big Tall Wish” episode, 1960,
CBS, Twilight Zone, Rod Serling. Commentary and script lines: About young
boy (son of boxer’s lady friend) encouraging his older boxer friend near the
end of his boxing career to believe he can win that one big last fight that
came in the twilight of his career. “If you don’t believe that ONE BIG WISH it
likely will not come true!”. “I guess
the trouble is …. There’s not enough people around to believe….”; “You got to
believe Bolie….”.
“The Day the Earth Stood Still”; 1951, 20th Century Fox, Harry Bates. “Commentary and script lines: About
humanoid alien visitors, Klaatu and his side kick robot, Gort, who came to
earth to give the President a message during the peak years of nuclear arsenal
proliferation that would affect all of humanity. The gift they gave POTUS was a
message that simply said “to study life on the other planets”. The earthlings were not that receptive to
these aliens, who eventually packed up and got ready to depart back to their
home planet, at which time they told POTUS just before departing as they were
closing the spaceship’s hatches: “Join us and LIVE IN PEACE, or pursue your
present course and FACE OBLITERATION”.
And then…. “The Day the Earth Stood Crazy“; 2016, FTF (Facebook-Twitter-FOX); GOP/RNC.
“Commentary and script lines: About Real
Estate magnate, “It”, who had become a Reality TV “It”, and thereafter got
nominated by the GOP/RNC as the party’s presidential nominee, which was then followed
by foreign (Russian) manipulation of the USA election process through
sophisticated high tech means, which was very conducive and effective means to
convey to large swaths of the voting public through the Facebook platform via a
lot of propaganda. “It” was the preferred candidate, and the RNC/GOP pronounced
that “Its” competitor was a criminal and should be locked up; which was quickly
received and reinforced by the “Fair and Balanced” FOX TV Network, which was quickly
assigned as the number one advocate and surrogate for “It” up to and during the
primary and general election, and thereafter to the present day, as “It” now
serves gleefully as the Reality TV POTUS while dealing with gigantic national
and international matters far exceeding “Its” limited capacity/capabilities.
The aliens have now arrived again and gave POTUS “It” a message stating
“You are not going to get elevated to King or dictator, and instead, you will
be impeached and disgraced the world over, and the GOP/RNC will become extinct
as minorities and women rise in power and influence in U.S. and the world as
they work with allies from near and afar to create a more peaceful and
sustainable world for the betterment of humanity and our Dear Earth”
…Next will come the REAL life “Stepford Wives” sequel, to bring all
these women and minorities rising to power under control (through brainwashing
or something?) by the dying breed of the RNC/GOP good ole boys, who don’t like
seeing the women and minority percentages going up in public representation of
government on a local, state and federal level. And POTUS “Its” followers keep
getting scarier and scarier as they are being stirred up and prompted by “It” to
arm up as the confederates are getting ready to re-litigate the civil war all
over again as they try to stop the diversification and globalization of society
and expansion of civil rights. And some of them who live among the white lily
fields in their Christian neighborhoods, actually think that thinning of the
herds naturally or unnaturally is actually a viable solution to purify society
to fit the mold that aligns with narrow and self-centered desires and beliefs. Of
course, those who are on the opposite end of this type of thinking, aren’t
going to go out and arm themselves, because they mostly are peace loving
individuals who just want to have a peaceful and orderly society that respects
human and civil rights and advocate for more openness in society by being more
receptive of all people regardless of their religion, race, gender, sexual
orientation, origin, etc. So if the New Confederates come for a fight against the
population that is not supportive of POTUS “It” and all the craziness that
surrounds “It”, including the RNC/GOP, they aren’t going to get a fight, and it
probably wouldn’t be wise for the New Confederates to mow the masses down with
their trucks and guns, etc., because more than likely the U.S. military and the
police forces will probably come to their senses, and arrest all these uncivilized
citizens and make them attend lessons on the U.S. Constitution and the Nation’s
history, to refresh their minds what we actually fought for in past wars, such
as abolishing slavery, stopping nationalist/Nazis/dictators who were
aggressively trying to take over and/or annihilate other societies, religions
and nations. And of course the GOPers
are now saying that those of us who are advocating for income equality and the
“common cause” and betterment of humanity and the planet are a bunch of
socialists. It is the same ole BS, as they continue their practice of bamboozling
the masses into thinking they (the one
percenters) know what is best for society and of course they want you to
believe they have our best interest in mind as they capture more and more of
the world’s wealth and resources and now are starting to reach for greater takeover
of public lands, including mineral and agricultural rights, and the further
privatization of public infrastructure so they can further shift the public
expense (taxes, fees, etc.) side away from the corporate owners and the multi-millionaires/billionaires,
while at the same time reaping profits from these takeovers from the public, as
the 1% fraction of the population
steadily increases their share of global assets and income, as the lower half
of society continues a downward spiral into poverty as their meager financial
assets and income, drops below basic human subsistence levels for shelter, food
and water, and far removed from any semblance of enjoyment in their daily
lives.
… And then
remember the quote from the 1976 film: “We’re
as mad as hell, and we’re not going to take this anymore!” Network;
1976; Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer; United Artists; Paddy Chayefsky. Remember that
movie? This fictional story is about a
major TV network news anchorman, Howard Beale, who comes unhinged when he finds
out that he is slated to be fired in a couple of weeks. After Beale finds out
he is a “short timer” at the network, he goes on a tirade during a live
broadcast and tells the audience that he will be committing suicide live on TV
the next week. Not surprisingly, after that episode, Beale’s boss, the president
of the network news was going to fire Beale, but before he could, the network
news ratings skyrocketed after Beale’s outburst and the upper echelon brass of
the network then chose to exploit Beale’s antics rather than pulling him off
the air. While the latter is going on, some internal politicking and staff envy
begins to percolate, and then Beale’s boss gets approached by one of Beale’s
highly ambitious competitors who wants to see less attention given to Beale’s
nightly news program so the top brass (with Beale’s boss’s urging) could devote
more time reviewing and hopefully approving the special program she had in the
making. In the meantime Beale’s new broadcasts are getting more and more
outrageous, and Beale’s boss starts having an affair with Beale’s network
co-worker who is aspiring to take over the limelight from Beale with her new
program. Things continue to get more complicated and convoluted, as Beale’s
boss and his envious competitor get married, and Beale gets moved from the
evening news hour over to a special news commentary program, where his rants
escalate to the point that Beale is leading a live audience in a chant during
the program shouting out “We’re as mad as
hell, and we’re not going to take this anymore!” Beale then finds out that the network board
of directors decided to sell the network to a Saudi Arabian conglomerate, after
which he goes on air during his program shouting his opposition to the deal.
The network corporate brass then start getting nervous that Beale’s ranting on
the program is going to kill the deal, which they desperately needed because
they were in financial straits. Matters even get worse for the network when
Beale’s boss convinces him to end his populist messages and switch over to an
“evangel” which included preaching sermons on dehumanization of society, which
his television audience found depressing and so they stop watching him, and the
network ratings then began to plummet.
At this point the network decides that the only solution to escape the
dilemma they were in and pending financial doom was to hire a band of
terrorists who were featured in an earlier docudrama series to shoot and kill
Beale during one of his live broadcasts, which is what they did. After Beale’s
live assassination broadcast on the network as viewed by tens of millions of
people, the earlier docudrama series about the terrorists began airing again,
and as the network was broadcasting the story of Beale’s untimely death, a
voiceover during the program proclaims the film to be “the story of Howard
Beale, the first known instance of a man who was killed because he had lousy
ratings”. SO WHAT’S THE LESSON TO LEARN FROM THIS STORY AS WE ARE SHOUTING OUT
OUR WINDOWS THAT “WE’RE AS MAD AS HELL,
AND WE’RE NOT GOING TO TAKE THIS ANYMORE!”?? LET’S JUST HOPE THAT POTUS “It” IS NOT
SUCCESSFUL AT ENDING “Its” DILEMMA AND LOUSY POLL RATINGS BY SENDING THE TROOPS
(military, police and Bikers for POTUS
“It”) IN AN AGGRESSIVE FASHION AFTER US PATRIOTIC PEACEFUL CITIZENS WHO
ARE MERELY WALKING, SINGING, CHANTING AND DOING THE PUPPET DANCE WHILE WEARING
OUR “RUSSIAN NEFARIOUS COLLUSION” T-SHIRTS AND CAPS.
FINAL NOTE
ON THE real RNC/GOP: They chose POTUS “It” through their nomination process and
it was inevitable that eventually this poor excuse for a USA political party
was going to choose an authoritarian oligarch.
The RNC/GOP HAS LITTLE TO DO WITH THE UNDERLYING PRINCIPLE OF HAVING A
GOVERNMENT OF, BY AND FOR THE PEOPLE. The RNC/GOP has repeatedly demonstrated
to us over many decades that they want a government that is of, by and for the
corporations and the one percenters, which is an UGLY self centered/self
serving network of corporate owners and their loyal allies of elected and
appointed public officials and hard working/highly compensated lobbyist, who interchange
between these three positions on a regular basis. The RNC/GOP owns POTUS “It”
who exemplifies the primary principle driving the RNC/GOP: “THE END JUSTIFIES
THE MEANS”. You could say that the
choosing of POTUS “It” by the RNC/GOP who nominated “It” and the eventual
corrupt, manipulated and Russian colluded process that got “It” elected was the
MEANS; and you can also say “It’s” the END, BECAUSE THIS WILL SURELY BE THE END
OF THE RNC/GOP (get them micro-chipped), and what this party and the 30 to 35%
of supporters of POTUS “It” will call themselves in the future is anyone’s
guess, but likely it will be the NEW CONFEDERATES, which will surely be fine
with Sen. Graham.
