Cannabis Druglord System with absolute Protection from Prosecution

It has been for my entire life that cannabis has been called the doorway to hardcore drugs. It has been the focus on the alleged "War on Drugs".The war that cost billions or more of dollars.The war that has cost many more lives to be taken in the name of drug enforcement. Over those long years, I have friends that were caught and convicted of everything from possession to felonies for possession of lots of cannabis or growing it.

Recently there is a push to legalize the cannabis industry for the general use of the public. Several states have legalized it. Canada has made it national legal with its huge producer being Aurora. Also, a prior country that would bury you under the jail for possession. There are thousands of folks who are still rotting in jail while growers kissing the assets of the politicians prosper free as a bird.

This leads to some interesting questions one should ask. Is this new government "Pot" better than the professionals in prison grew for years before this? Was the war on drugs just like the grower's posters of the 1960s? It read something like"if Big Brother can't tax it and control it they kill it. Another poster read "Uncle Sam doesn't allow competition, smoke a joint and got to prison.

So what was the still ongoing war all about anyway? Though I can honestly say I have never been interested in the use of drugs, I understand the monetary need of the growers. I know one who was the best in this area until he got arrested.

He is forever denied being anything to do with pot, Its processing or sale. He loved his chosen profession and is denied it. The laws are changing but how will it affect those who are still under the past draconian laws. This guy lives on a minimum income instead of the wages he might have made if it was legal back then. Basically driven into poverty by governmental control.

President Reagan was all in and even got his wife Nancy to just say no. Presidents since have followed suit. The war has helped the South American cartels. Cartels will simply upgrade to the harder stuff but, I would imagine they are worried about losing the pot crop to North American legal Pot growers.

I guess  I will break out those old 8tracks of Cheech n Chong again. For those who remember what an 8track is. Yes, I still have my 8tracks n player somewhere in the dusty catacombs next to my RCA cartridge video player(pre Laser unit)When cannabis is all legal they will be considered groundbreaking historic figures. Long remembered as a poke in the eye to those shrinking restrictions. Loved those guys, MAN!

In the meantime, would those professional pot growers inside the walls of prisons be able to help the newbie growers? The prisons are full of the old day's weed heads who were pioneers in the dark ages of draconian law. When herbs were EEEVILLL! And the government had not figured out how to imprison the growers and tax the impounded crops for themselves.

A side note: Where do you suppose the Newbies got their expertise? Probably read it in a book? Can't tell you its a security thing weed Havta...Well you know.

Gotta make ya wonder, doesn't it...Just saying!

For those like myself who never messed with fate to do more than medications when ill,
I think that the recreation of the pot is going to cause as many problems in society as alcohol has since the first clay bowl of mead was tasted.

There are always those individuals who get addicted very easily to gambling, Drugs, ETC.
Then there are the other problems of those who abuse the use of substances and end up in the prisons with the former growers.

My friend is a very good example of the idiosyncrasies of developing societies. My friend, the former pot grower now lives a mile from where the state is going to open a multimillion-dollar greenhouse to grow, yup, You guessed it. This facility is for the growing millions of cannabis plants for"medical purposes".

This greenhouse is built with help from grants, loans n, uncle SAM, will be the size of numerous football fields. My friend is mentally devastated because his conviction is only growing pot. He loves to work with the elderly and can't even do that. Past charges denying him both jobs. A drug growing felony for life.

I have only encountered pot smoke a few times in my life because I may be the only person in the world who is allergic to its smoke. I found that out at my first youthful party which ended in a hospital visit. The Doctor Laughed at this small town boy who smelled like the party smokers around him. The nurses and doctor smelled pot on my clothes. Guess God built a safety switch in some of us to protect us from getting busted in youth.

The future is opening doors for some while slamming those doors on others. It is the way of the world as dictated by mankind. I for one see futures for those who don't feel a need to share showtime with a big hairy guy named Bubba in prison. I suggest that the market is safer by buying your cannabis in a new legal market. You won't be hassled by whoever. You won't be arrested in any state or city. The stock market now sells shares in the cannabis industry that is growing in leaps and bounds. There are numerous stocks available with many more getting on board. It's becoming what those in prison have known for years. A billion dollar industry. Folks are getting in on the ground floor of the biggest legal Drugtrain ever.

Even people who have walked the straight and narrow are getting a piece of the pie. It's legal and it's here. The stocks are rising in leaps and bounds at this stage in time. IF is an important word here, IF cannabis is legalized here in the USA nationally, the skies the limit.

For those who are interested in dealing or buying cannabis, I will tell you the exact place right now without fear from Law enforcement of any kind. The stock market with a little homework allows anyone with some cash and interest to grow rich in time while others do all the work. If your dreams were ever to become a drug lord, then this is your chance to do so.No wants or warrants, no strip search, no incarceration. You don't even have to pay enforcers or hit men. You will never have to wear bulletproof underwear to stave off rival drug lords.

Guys like my friend won't be included on the Cannabis train to riches. Politics have made your rise to legal drug kingpin more than fantasy in the movies.

So for those inclined, roll one if ya got em, light up the bong or Dubie MAN. All the works already being done. All you gotta do is invest. Then wait for the payoff. Just like in the movies

Seriously though, if you intend to partake of anything that you can get addicted to, please be responsible enough to be careful and know when you need help for the situation. You only got one chance in life. There are no retakes or resets.

Cordially your friend.

Texas Rep Votes Millions of American to be Left Devastated

The United States Congress has taken a late May break. Foolish bickering in Washington is still impeding the progress of the nation to move ahead even with them gone. Unlikely allies are helping It is a quiet time when the absent Congress is not being obtuse or obstinate

One would think Congress members would be moved by the damaged lives of storm-ravaged Citizens now. They no doubt have been exhausted by the constant efforts to overthrow an elected Administration. Those suffering mid country folk should just keep treading water till the breaks over.

Congress has left for their little vacation from stroking various ideologies and/or enemies of this country. The voices that have occupied the major newsstands are temporarily muted. The nubies in congress with radical and whacky ideas.The coattail grabbers that run with the loud annoying absurd ideas of removed realities.Those who would belittle and demean the majority of us out here living in the working world.

The country, our good old USA is being devastated by major storms. Much of the country now is covered by massive flooding. Tornadoes have wiped out the homes and lives of millions of people. Property loss is on a scale that rivals historical levels. People are without power. People are without homes. People are without food and water.

The livelihoods of millions will take months to return to normal if it ever does again. Many folks now have lost everything they held dear to heart. Many have lost the family members they held dear to their hearts. Lost to them forever.

That is obvious to state. A Republican from my beloved Texas has decided to run with the impeach coup/Democrat/Hillary pack. The Republican from Texas by the name of Chip Roy has stopped a multi-billion dollar package that would go to the victims to help our fellow citizens from staying in a devasted 3rd world situation.HE, after all, is living quite comfortably and need not worry much about the political suicide he just committed. Those people have one asset left.

They STILL VOTE.

The people that are up to their assets in flood waters.The voters who could care less if  MR. Chip Roy is a Democrat or Republican. Those people who now have nowhere to live, maybe for the first time in their lives.Those people who have lost loved ones and won't even be able to bury their loved ones.

The farms are under water and tornadoes have no mercy on livestock, crops or people. It Doesn't discriminate, Nature is an equal opportunity chaotic destroyer of worlds.

Still, Mr.Chip Roy is representing his pals in Washington instead of those American Citizens who are in desperate immediate need of rescue. In need of the things he probably never thinks twice about. He knows that based on the past performance of the Pack that they would never endorse the president's efforts to help American Citizens. That is unless it is to suppress the traditional.

Those folks in immediate need for the health and welfare of daily survival are counting on us to help a fellow American with no time to have Congress gender flexing about political differences. Those Citizens/Victims of devastation need help now. It should not matter if Congress is out to lunch still.

I was one of those Truck drivers that relayed the Katrina supplies by Truck drivers awhile ago. That was  A Democratic President (that I also voted for). That disaster was also politicist while chaos and havoc from floods took place. New Orleans never recovered due to the lack of morons arguing nonsense and details that had nothing to do with the immediate problems. Lives were lost, people displaced from their lives.sections of the 'Big Easy' left in desolation to this day.

I would bring this to your attention only because it serves to show that our next election should eliminate those who like to play God instead of Politician. We can't vote for God by whatever that diety goes by. It is a God thing. WE THE PEOPLE can keep a very detailed account in our minds of these past 2 years of the chaos and displaced actions and ideas presented the news, politicians,

Next election when those devastated people you dump on, begin to get back on their feet, They will remember you Mr.Politician for what you thought of them. They will remember you in spades. So run with the pack for as long as it serves you. Save them a place in line. The saying goes if I may paraphrase it: Eat drink and be merry Mr. Politician Politician.....for tomorrow your next campaign turns to crap.

To my readers out there: please help in any way you can find to support those families in immediate need of the needed things to survive out there in what's become the wastelands. They are our people who are in very dangerous situations from major flooding, storms, and flooding. The destruction just keeps coming and they need supplies with anything else you might do to help

One further thing to do is look up our good REP from Texas on the internet to drop him a line or give him a phone call to politely express your displeasure for the inconsiderate applications of his office. Perhaps remind him of the millions of voters affected by his unthinking stopping of those needed emergency funds to help UNITED STATES CITIZENS in distress. Republicans and Democrats are now in danger out there in our heartlands. Here in our homeland.

With our current weather patterns, the next storm may be in your area.wwud?(what would do?)

Till next time folks

Trump Declares War Sends Attorney General Barr to South America

Fox News reported today that President Trump has Declared war on the brutal gang, one of the most dangerous organized gang coming out of the South American Triangle of countries. Many thousands shave made their way into the United States already.

Their exploits of savagery are well-documented torture Mutilations, with the stabbing of a victim a hundred times. Bodies hacked to pieces. The list of unimaginable psychotic behavior is their trademark to terrorized populations it wishes to control. This gang is what President Trump is attempting to force the countries of its origins from entering the United States.

The numbers of this particular gang are in the hundreds of thousands in the South American countries.
There's no attempt to control such gangs in those countries as far as the comparison to other civilized countries. The law enforcement of those countries is powerless to stop the corruption in those countries.

The President has been trying to tell the opposing hordes that this gang presented dangers in opening the borders of the southern states to just anyone. That has fallen on selectively deaf ears. That is what's wrong with those who live in the fantasy world of the far left. We need to learn the facts before we run with that bunch.

Attorney General Barr is attempting to convince those countries of origin to help eliminate the MS13 Gangs altogether.

The suggested Trump; laws are not all perfect, The recent abortion laws prevent abortions even for incest and rape or other such circumstances. simply being abstinent for any suggestion simply makes it all ridiculous. That's not the way it is supposed to work. WE THE PEOPLE  need to contact our representatives to make known that we are not backing the people who do not work and play well together in this country.

Ms13 is already inside this country in bigger numbers that should be. There are many other gangs of organized criminals that are growing in numbers.MS13 is the worst of the bunch by many statistics.
Those statistics are all over the internet and news stories if you look far enough.

The reason it is not headlining is easy enough to explain when anyone looks AT  the recent headlines. I wonder if it will all be that important when MS13 encounters news people who write selective headline news.

This is the type of threat that is summarily being back paged to place propaganda and agenda first in importance. This needs to be fixed soon. It leaves the general populations of this country at risk.
Anyone who is not informed is at risk of becoming a victim.

A few short days ago, Attorney General Barr was the worst boogieman that could walk the face of the earth, Now he is in a dangerous land trying to help prevent a criminal plague that will grow if not arrested soon.

This army of psychotic gangsters is going in the shadows like an army of cockroaches. The best way of ridding one's self of cockroaches is to take away the nesting area. The best way to stop an approaching invading army is to cut it off at its roots. This is another item that would have been ignored if it was not on the presidents' agenda of repairs to many broken political systems.

I wouldn't want such gangsters is in my neighborhood. Not in my kid's school area or haunting  the malls I shop in. Would YOU?

Stay safe and keep the faith.

Big Bang Theory Emotional Finale Proves that Parting is such Sweet Sorrow

Last night, the awkward geeky friends that I spent so many evenings with, left my life forever. I watched as they progressed from Struggling adult genius kids to the place that many can only dream of. They found acceptance, love, purpose, and goals to push them onwards in life.

The kids who were harassed and bullied in school because of their home life.Because of the influences they had in childhood, Because of their physical or mental abilities.Because they were not the cool kids. The cool kids later in life will probably work in the same building as the geeky kids. Its all to common a situation in life, Big Bang brought it all to life in a tasteful, humorous manner. It made us laugh at the silliness of our ridiculous social interfacing.

Big Bang was a huge success because it styled itself after the top hit comedies of years past.No hatred, No political bickering, no continual inuendoes.

The characters were so popular because we as adults could easily Identify with them. Either we knew those awkward kids while growing up or were one of those kids that were so very awkward.

Every show was a return to the days when life was so different from other shows. It looked into the lives of folks searching for a life that would bring fulfillment and happiness to them. l

It seems that when there's a really decent series that comes to us through the magic of a television show, the time flies by and it's over much too soon. Yes, there the endless re-runs that we can return to in the Wayback channels of yesterday, but it's not the same. I read each day of losing those heroes and sweethearts we loved and hated thru that glowing screen called television. It's over just too, too soon.

The curtain closes, the lights dim and the place is empty once more. Our characters walk off the stage that makes them who we loved so much. They are gone from our lives forever. Another memory to fade as time passes to the next big successful show.

I, as the characters on the Big Bang still love the various SYFY  series that distracted me from my own troubled youthful life awhile ago. Big bang reminded me of my own friends who were Gene Roddenberry fans. Our lives were very similar to the big bang series. Maybe not genius kids with a crack at a Nobel Prize, But each of My childhood friends and I, have found our way in life to some form of success. The characters on the Big Bang series should be an incentive to those children of all ages who struggle and feel alienated that there is hope for better.

Did you know, There are actually people who believe the bantering of the Big Bang series re too risque for young people. I remember the interracial kiss on Star Trek and the wrath of very similar folks wearing starched High collar shirts. I guess that's why it is such a hit. Those stuffed shirts would have to be watching to know the plots. They must be embarrassed. After all, if you didn't know the meaning of those innuendos...Just saying...

I hope The Big Band Theory goes on for Years so all of the people of similar natures have a program that lives in their lives and minds. It is good to know there are all types of programming that occasionally touch the lives of the common folk.

Big Bang Theory will be missed by this watcher of a great Television show. Live Long And Prosper.
Please, everyone, write to them to ask for a reunion program a year or so from now to catch us up on what happened to the beloved characters.

Till Next Time dear friends.

War Mongering Iran Has Been Left Unhampered And Unhindered For Far Too Long now,The Sick Philosophy Has Infiltrated our own United States Congress

When does Philosophy become dangerous? When is the time to rein in a philosophy? Why would any population allow those who would spread dangerous Ideas and philosophy with absolutely no perceived controls?  Why would any country put into any position of power allow a representative of hateful Ideologies? Why would an elected official preach hate on the country allowing them to be in a position of power? There are many more such questions floating around among average working people and the populations today.

This Blog has everything to do with you, your life and what's going to shape your life in the near future. Please read on and be of a clear mind. I hope this blog brings a bit of deeper thinking to those who do take a moment to reflect.

Our world is based on people who can resist those who would subvert our deepest ideas of what is right and wrong. What's socially acceptable to the people who can make it all work for the majority who do not live to dominate and control others. Those people who are in the masses called the silent majority.

We in the United States have watched the newscasts for years as countries have been brought to ruin. Their great peoples and cities raised to the ground. Left in ashes.. The people falling into warfare and bloodshed. Places like Russia and China, sitting as the idiots kill each other with Russian and Chinese weapons.

History books have recorded many philosophies that have resulted in oppressive, deadly beliefs. Whether the dark ages that inspired thousands in the name of inquisition or the Nazi regime that was responsible for the 6 million plus deaths of innocents.Russian Bolsheviks or Red Guards. There have been many more incidents throughout history for whatever reason to control and undermine others.

The history books speak of how the small groups manipulate and persuade others to think in ways they would normally not even consider. The persuasion is by guilt, fear, and twisting of the facts. Playing the victim has been the way. They feel empowered to attack those they wish to dominate.
Many times the people who institute this path of destruction are from broken childhoods. Broken societies, broken minds.Broken pasts.

If enough of the followers can bring others to their way of thinking by peer pressure. It becomes a philosophy that can do great damage to others. The danger is when the philosophy begins to focus the viscosity of that hate onto those. Folks who have had nothing to do with the perpetrators dark believes. Folks who have never had anything to do with the perpetrator's life problems that lead to their best thinking.Folks who are innocents to all that dark past.

This brings me to my point of what this article is all about...
Each day is another opportunity to keep our country safe from such people. It starts in our schools and follows us through adulthood. From the playground to our workplace to our politically charged lives.
That hostile environment is permeating our lives every day. It is everywhere. The constant conflict that is attempting to tear our lives and even our country apart.

Other countries are having their problems with the same type of things. They are not our country.
Democratic Republics with our constitution should not have people in Congress that constantly, for the past 2plus years have tried to overthrow our government's elected officials.has actively used bent politics to deny mega business from providing jobs. Members have aactively argued for the safety of our actual citizens that pay their wages.

when it seemed that the Karma pendulum would swing far to the bizarre Left, it has now begun to a counter swing back to balance the world out from where it was headed.

The pendulum of in and yo, yin and yang.in and yo is beginning to swing back the other way. That momentum of politics, like life, will gain momentum with the coming elections of 2020. The political system just cannot continue if it is not based on fact or if it is based on a lie.

Just for clarity here....I never vote for a person based on his or her propaganda. That's because .most of that is just BS, to begin with. I would never vote for anyone of any faith that has hate for the country I love. I would never vote for anyone who thinks to bend a child's mind in our schools.

I believe we now have prayers to a god that has followers who bomb, behead and torture people who don't agree with them.prayers by those who also believe women are property and others are not children of their god. Yes, I am using small letters. not out of disrespect for God.Just for those who would tell anyone they know Gods mind. Such is the mind and practices of our present Congress.

Members who brag about being lawmakers for our country, while entertaining those who would be a nemesis. At the same time gathering as a lynch mob or a street gang together to usurp our protections. Protections that keep our families safe.it reminds me of this scenario,  a good person who commits a minor crime then commits more and more crimes to uncover the original till turning back to fix it is not an option.this has been our last 2 years of our United States Congress.

This  Congress is the same one trying to destroy our children's morality the moment they enter our schools' systems. Parents are unable to prevent children from learning things against their ideologies. The same Congress in pursuit of alternate beliefs, for all of us.with or without our permission.

Those representatives in Congress who would open our borders to invading unvetted hordes. containing gangstas, murderers, vagabonds of every description. Then border state governors pull all the protecting National Guard away from the border to allow those invaders easy entrance. Arresting patrolling USA border citizens armed with the knowledge of coyotes/cartel members armed with automatic arms now. Border guards and citizens are dying.

In some countries, such actions we have had to contend with would be looked at as treason and assorted other terms. You don't need to agree with the president or citizens old fashioned Ideas. Ideas like freedom, God, Tradition, Hard work to obtain a living.shopping for medical coverage.

Just think if those same bickering saber rattling folks in Congress actually could see what's being talked about here beyond the newsrooms that do not even live like most people who live in the real world. WE THE PEOPLE who work harder each day as our infrastructure is just starting to rebuild. Congress could stop the flood of unknowns into our country. Congress could make sure they're members are actually supporting, not verbally tearing our people and valor of our military down,

It comes down to this, Congress has done more to give President Putin free PR. The 2 Year Mon ta null twa with fellow members to obtain turmoil. That turmoil has and will go nowhere. It can't because there is nothing to base it on. If there was or had been it would already be known. It serves only the Russians, Iranians, and Chinese. to watch as our country burns within itself. It just serves those who would see the free world as we know it falls.The other (relatively free) allies fall like dominoes. I wonder if they believe it would be a friendly world for their skewed views

To fix the situation there JUST MAYBE, a coup next election/...There may just be.

Congress needs to be voted completely out of office next possible election.
.Its the only way to finally make those in charge finally pull their brains out of their Backsides. The world community of countries has stopped their laughter. We are wiping their grins off their smug faces with the rising power of our economy. The economy has brought itself out of the rut we were in for so very long. Remember these friends a rut is a grave with the ends kicked out. There will be no one to save with the country in a grave. (paraphrasing).

Our economy is booming. Our people are getting back to work finally. Its never been perfect in this country, probably never will be. Perfections a concept, not reality, The questions this: Why would the Congress do everything they could in lock step to undermine, demean, and force new rules of life and living on the 97% of the United States Of America,97% that is not on their team or ideology. I read and watch the media from all over the world every day.  There is those that walk in lock step with our mainstream media. The smaller less politically correct media(those with no agenda or political/Favors)

WE THE PEOPLE need to regain control of the out of control Congress members. We need to barrage the congress members with letters, E-mails, and Phonee calls to Congress. The address of everyone is listed to the public on the Internet. It's the power of the people.No guns involved!a bloodless revolution the Congress has for two years been orchestrating against our country.

Tell them they need to stop the nonsense and get back to helping to run our country.
I am sick of all the games and whining. Let's just go back to their jobs. Get on with the business of running the country.governing our people and our borders from hordes of unvetted boarders.

That border would be fixed if the energy used for the Failed attempted coup for two years were, or had been applied to the border problem. there now would be a steady flow of new vetted legal citizens to be.the caravans would be parked below the U.S. Border Mexico would be driven to eradicate the cartels doing combat at the Mexican Border

Mr, Trump is our President whether anyone likes it or not. The destruction of our country by any kind of coup would begin the destruction of our country. The members of the current congress is committing political suicide by continuing to pursue the nutty path they are currently running down.

I worked in Arkansas during the Clinton Governor years there. I heard things that were unbelievable.
I could not bring myself to vote for the Clinton's in the last elections. I did vote for Mr.Obama.I vote where My studies of politics take me. Trump won and if we do not find the truth soon, then the enemy wins.

I sincerely hope we at least figure out Where that enemy is or at least who is the enemy. Real or imagined Outside or inside the country.one side or the other. There's a saying that the truth will set you free...Let all the players lay ALL our cards on the table or all the documents from both sides so WE THE PEOPLE can see for ourselves who is the enemy or where the BOOGIEMAN been hiding in which closet. Let's see if the house really always wins in the end. Put up or please just shut up.

New York Association of Psychiatric Recovery Services To Meet Once More In New York's Beautiful Countryside in a New Place And with An Agenda in Mind

"NYAPRS"  is to meet again this year in New York State. This is a huge deal that normally addresses the services offered to the folks that are looking to having some interest in Mental health.
The people have either a work-related compacity or have been a  person affected by some aspect of problems in their lives which created a need to know.

My story is in my past blogs that are free to read. The people that put these together have many involved interests due to personal experiences or knowing someone who does. They are dedicated to making people first in recovering their lives from whatever.in the years past

Last Year had many workshops to enhance one's experience adding knowledge. There were many different things to learn and do, Hundreds of people with provided meals, rooms and activities.
I signed up for several workshops that looked interesting.

A couple that I remember was a workshop on social security and disability. The gentleman who was the instructor took his time and explained how the SSI disability system was set up to serve people who had the misfortune to be disabled. I later spoke with him extensively to clarify details of the program. It was a real learning experience.

The other workshop that I remember was not so pleasant at all. I went to this workshop to learn. I got something else. As is the case these days, older people who are willing to listen are finding themselves ostracized. We are often being singled out for being very much traditional in our thinking.

I listened for much of the workshop while photos that I have used on my blogs showing a male afro-Americans back. It was deeply scared of a severe whipping. Then another foto of Japanese internment camps with detainees standing inside the fences. I have used the same foto there also on my blogs. The Instructors tone was caustic to anyone who differed in her opinions. She told one person that her family was interred in a camp. She told the workshop she was half Japanese. She seemed intent on blaming all the wrongs of this country on "White males who have all the privileges"

This struck me rather deeply since I have worked hard from the time I was in primary school. At age 5 my sisters taught me to make potholders then took me around to sell door to door. Age 16 saw me with the largest Democrat and Chronicle newspaper route in my town. I have held jobs from washing tubs in laundrymats to learning to bake to running million dollar presses to make auto parts.

The secret is when you make up your mind to move ahead, Tell yourself I will, not I am gonna. I will say to your subconscious that is going to happen, Gonna, means someday if I can. Educate yourself for the job and move to learn everything you can in life. That is what I truly believe. I have proven it many times. You are your own worst enemy if you believe there's no way to succeed. That tells your mind you are already defeated in your own mind first. Pigmentation color is a door other's close. The saying goes like this: when one door closes, Look for the other two that have opened.

I raised my hand and asked a very simple question, I know that things may not be perfect in life. Don't you think the positive would help here? If people talk they can work together better. Hostility never did anything but create more hostility. She immediately called on a lady across the room who said she was organizing rallies to protest the past. I was not allowed to ask any more questions after that. The instructor said if you want to change "This Kinda thinking you need to take it into the streets and MAKE them hear you"I wondered exactly who "THEM", were?

  I wondered how it was ALL MY FAULT for those in the room who were quite obviously full of hate and discontent. They actually Physically turned their backs to me.

The way to help another understand is not that way. They did give me a fairly good understanding of why far-right groups rise to up and recruit folks who did not have those thoughts, to begin with. That workshop did make me understand what it might be like to be the only Black person at a Klan rally. It made me sorta feel like the only White male at an all Black church. It is as I have said in the past, Racism goes both ways. Fear and hate have no particular preferences. There certainly was enough in that room.

After the workshop, I walked up to try to ask why this workshop even was set up to be an exploration of the differences of our societies, She said that "people like me would never understand". I realized a large male was now approaching me from my left and a bit behind. He said,; "The class is over and we need to leave, Thank you for your comments but the workshop is over now. I left with that in my Heart and mind still. It definitely changed me. I sincerely hope that kind of "workshop" does not return. to the coming NYAPRS.It was a first in my experience and this will be my last if it continues to develop into a hatefest.

On a happier note, the social security workshop helped me to point several people to more precise areas and information I got there. I truly wished the NYAPRS folks could bring in a representative from the Social Security Retirement people. There's a Huge amount of retired folks who gather there yearly. It would be so helpful to get the information to help folks through the labyrinth of rules and legalize that is involved with retirement.

another problem that has been solved is the place NYAPRS is to be held at.while its an hour farther from NYC, its more towards mid-state. That's slightly more convenient for more upstaters. I suspect that alone might increase attendance.

The hotel last year has since gone outa business so it is rumored. The new one is, bigger, more modern and from the internet photos are gorgeous, More elbow room all around. There is more information on the net at the NYAPRS website. It's worth a look.

The workshops in past years have been fun, and extremely informative. People have a chance to tell their stories of their past. there's plenty of time to make friends and communicate with those who can help or just listen. There's a comfortable room to retreat and reflect at days end.NYAPRS feed you like a king. The place bustles with folks communicating and learning.

I truly look forward to attending this year if I can. It is always a learning experience to hear others speak. Sometimes it is a bit hard to take if it can not be explained. If reason escapes into anger and hatefulness. So bring your best ideas of why learning is what you need and a positive mind if you show up. This is a changing world we live in and every one of us is an important part of those changes.NYPRS has helped many with information to help themselves.

How I became connected with NYAPRS is a short story in itself.

My health crashed 8yrs ago and was on a collision course with a nursing home due to a blood clot in my brain. It gave me the symptoms of Alhiemers. That was the most frightening time of my life. I felt alone, Homeless, and helpless to go on. I lost my ability to write. Blogging became nearly impossible. I could get lost in a place that I  lived all my life. The skills that made me happy became a task filled with frustration.

I was taken to a "club" for people recovering from physical and mental problems. I refused at first to admit to even having a problem. As time went on I began to realize that the people there were all there for the same reasons to try to recover what had been lost in their lives. A little dignity.A little bit of what they no longer could grasp. To feel less vulnerable when around other people. In the words of the old singing group "The Grateful Dead"To give me just a little light.

Years have passed now. Surgery and some medical magic from Some truly fine people have me back on my feet. If I were an old car<I would be firing on all 7 of 8cylinders.Nobodys perfect!My first visit to Nyaprs was A fuzzy memory due to illness. I do remember the people there were kind and caring to everyone. The workshops gave me hope to maybe to get back someday to where I was.

That's what NYAPRS is really. Its hope fired by information. Its people who are using the system to pull themselves out of a very dark point in their lives.It is also people who are improving that same system by the voice of their experiences. Working with those in charge to fix and tweak all that might be not quite right in the systems. Those systems that are set up to aid those in need of a boost back up.A system that is not perfect by far. It is made better by the voices of those who have been there.

If your someone who is in distress from a mental or health issue NYAPRS might be something to look into. Google it and find out if you or someone near and dear to you could use the dear people at the organization to help out. The folks are sweet and helpful for anyone needing information or direction. The support of that information can help to rebuild lives. There are mountains of information which leads to more doors that you can open. You just need to follow the information path.

Contact them on their website for information on a ton of informative helpful ideas and directions. Also any activities and things to attend in New York or elsewhere.You will find that It will be informative.

Remember this regarding my experience with the workshop that I mentioned in the beginning of  my blog. Sometimes when your thinking has been shaped by your personal environment, the views of others seem alien. You do not feel a need to think in any other way. When you find yourself in That which is alien to you, You become the alien.

It is a form of tribalism. The feeling I got in that workshop was alien to me. I could not identify with those in the workshop, so the tribe turned their backs on me. You may have other thoughts on this.I believe I learned a very interesting lesson. I may not fully understand what That lesson was,I do know this though, It is deep in my psyche. The workshop did change my thinking and thats what they are there for. TO MAKE YOU THINK

Please look into NYPRS even as a thing to know. It is a worthy bit of information to put in your brain for future use.

That is my story and I am sticking to it.NYAPRS is worth the efforts to find and investigate.Theres many facets of the Organization.Its kinda like a diamond in the rough.It might not be interesting till you start working with it to increase its value to yourself and others.

Till Next time Dear friends. WE THE PEOPLE have the power  to change our world for the better. That better is a matter of our perspectives and what is right. Keep the faith.

Children,Politicians,Socialist What common Denominator Exists

Remember when little Bobby and Ralph couldn't seem to play nice on the swings. They always seem to be at odds. Both kids were in the same classroom, Had the same teacher, went to eat in the same cafeteria. All the great facilities that made up their education and provided for their lives were identical. So why couldn't, they share what was there. What made one kid's Ideas so much more important than the others. So much more than it leads to conflict. Why couldn't they just"get along"? That playground was the best in the city by most standards. Why? Flash forward to adulthood.

Let's look at these kids after they are grown up and into a lifestyle. Let's say they become Oh, I don't Know...How about politicians as one example.Not too hard to be. Kiss a few  Um, Er, Babies, Yeah that's it and get people to believe in your overblown ideas. In reality, they are pipe dreams and deep down you have no real idea how a distant future will reflect those pipe dreams but they worked on that long past playground to have it your way. There's no teacher to but in and mess it up. Those kids that stood and watched are still only standing by and watching.

This brings up an interesting question. That playground is transferred now into that which pounds our very souls and centers. Every day we hear the same old irritating fighting in the nations Playground of  Um, Er, shall we say the Baby kissers, who are sounding more like those brats on the playground who feel their ideas are more important than others,

The coup that has been and still is being attempted has led to our infrastructure suffering, our political enemies made emboldened by the subterfuge in our government. This all due to the same playground antics that kids play on that long past juvenile playground. It has to stop.

The United States is one of a kind in the world and in history. It's not perfect.No where that humans exist has ever been recorded as utopia. That's an observation and not an opinion. History regardless of how much it's polished and the images are destroyed. History and hard facts will never change what actually happened. This country has had mass exterminations of original populations.

This country was built partially on the backs of slaves. This country has had concentration camps for citizens. This country has had separate exceptions for some people. We are not perfect. We will never be that utopia that hundreds of thousands invade our borders for. That's because it is a dream that does not and never will exist.

The only reasons that this country has remained that dream is the fact that our leaders have at least tried to work together as a team. The President has never had Press who drone a mantra of the negative dribble. Propaganda like a third world communist party threatening an attempted take over. I remember listening to Radio Moscow and various shortwave radio stations as a child. The situation in this country is looking like that in the future.

The separations that lead to great empires throughout history falling only to become the domain of the vulture culture who stand by and watch the carnage like those on that playground.

I remember the voices of those who begged for help on those last free amateur radios to save their freedoms from the socialists who were killing them if they didn't conform. Then one day those voices stopped, The newscasters who had been whipping up the public to join that socialist movement went silent or was each day giving a script of the party propaganda.then they too fell silent,

Many became slaves of the state, others were simply killed along with their entire families. Still, others who attempted to flee with their lives either made it to safety or were captured and killed. Some serving years in re-education camps, A living Hell instead. Russia used gulags in Siberia where many were tortured starved and never seen again.

The propaganda that allowed the rise of those socialists were folks like you and me losing the fact that once in power "they" had already taken control of travel without special ID.The freedom to come and go as one would please. They had already taken control of things that would and could make life better. What you eat, what you say, what you think,

What values you hold dear, The ideas and dreams that make your life worth living. every aspect of your otherwise normal life. How you think, what words you can say, what your children are forced to learn in school, and what God you're forced to pray to if any at all. Many places will Kill you for any of the aforementioned things. Is this what WE THE PEOPLE want for the land of the free? Think it over carefully. Your lives and the lives of the future citizens/your children depend on that.

The Washington Playground Bullies scuffle continues adding more nonsense to what crap in already in the media. Were this a Socialist country with a more politically prejudice population, That population would be clearing their troubled children into the room (gulag, Prison, Re-education center)of regretful conduct. Oh wait, That is our wannabe socialist party thats doing just that to OUR political environment, isn't it?

Written awhile ago during Last "impeachment" Idea that didnt worrk.Proving that this Congress has Got to Go Next Election.We need to get our Priorities in line.What Play ground do you want your children to play in the future?What kind of country do you feel free in.

Once again friends

Will The Opiod Crackdown Denies Insured Suffering From Cancer and Surgery Recovery

A close relative of mine recently underwent surgery to repair a rotator cuff. It involved repairing damage from the muscles tearing off the bone and the pain is incredible. Every movement, every effort to get any comfort sends pain of incredible intensity thru her body. The nerves are all inflamed to the point of no sleep and no rest. There's no way to ease the pain for short.

A specialist did the surgery and was well spoken of in his professional abilities. Everything was very thorough and professionally done.

Two non-metal screws were placed into the bone to help secure the new materials in place,The surgery went well and was done in just a couple hours. Medicaid paid for the surgery,

We walked out several hours after surgery hoping this would turn out well. Hoping that she could heal up, and return to normal life with the after surgery limitations usually advised for such recovery times.
The after surgery instructions said no driving or any stressing of the arm or shoulder.The surgery folks actually immobilized the entire arm and shoulder

I drove her to the Pharmacy for the prescriptions that would ease the pain and keep infection down.
The pharmacist tried for over an hour to fill the prescription for her without even giving a reason it wasn't going thru.

Medicaid was refusing to pay for the needed ability to kill legitimate pain. Not from a dope fiend or user, but from a patient in actual pain from a medical procedure. The surgeon, Pharmacist, and patient have all but begged Medicaid to help out. It all falls on deaf, unfeeling ears. Medicaid finally said the pain meds can only be gotten with paperwork and more forms so they can then say the meds are needed.

I remember them refusing to let my oldest sister have pain meds or treatment to fight the brain cancer she was finally going to drive from her body.THAT sister died a horrible Painful death, begging to die from the pain of cancer which quickly overtook her in days. The insurance companies there too were acting as God to decree treatment or not. They could care less if we had to watch helplessly'

The Pharmacist finally said we will try to fill a few pain pills for you if the Medicaid people allow it.

She is to be healing for the next 6weeks. The pain of therapy and healing will take the next 6weeks.
Medicaid gave her 24 pills to be taken 4-8hours. That's 3to six days of comfort. The pharmacy said the script that should have been filled was for a little longer to take her through some of the therapy pain.

I can understand the precaution of these times for those who would abuse controlled substances..
I rather doubt that cancer patients and post-surgery patients with open wounds are in such a category of dope fiends. Denying meds to the sick and injured is the cruelest a bureaucratic cold-hearted of practices.

This so-called opioid epidemic sweeping the country is peculiar in its doing, to say the least. I remember the war on drugs some time ago. Evil Pot was the beginning of mental ruination.dimentia was imminent. Remember the photos of those poor run down souls that had succumbed to the evil weed?

The beginning of crime, degradation, morality. It was touted for a shear route to Hell and Damnation. Pot is being legalized to buy over the counter now in as many forms as is possible. Even PepsiCo is waiting to infuse it into the products.

Legalized growers and huge companies are making tons of money while those in the past who did the same thing rot in prison or are denied for life to ever do what they did best. It was their calling made a crime until big business could legalize it and reap the profits. America, Land of opportunity as long a the suits run the drugs behind the law.Sooo....what about the folks who desperately need legal those drugs?

 Even Wall street tycoons are getting fat wallets from pot sale in the stock market.No street corner, patrol car,jailcell encounters.Its all so very safe.

This all going on while the lives of those in desperate need are denied proper medical components by the Jack assed suits sitting comfortably in an air conditioned office dictating who will live and who will suffer and die.Its not right.Passing out permission sheets to be filled out and put into a pile while the go out to have a smoke of whatever, on break.That patient waiting in agony for that paperwork.

The war on drugs is chalking up innocents along the way.People who are being caught in the line of friendly fire between the insurance companies and government burueacrats looking to keep it all stirred up for personal gain at others expense.The public mezmerized to hand in perscriptions and turn in grampa for keeping his old meds just in case.Maybe,just maybe Grampa knows something that might be past expeirnce sometime about 1929 orso.I was called proabition.It didnt work,but thousands were caught up in that rediculous reality.

I have a suspicion the next government promo for the drug fight might be,

"Drug cartells need to stop cuz we in insurance and government hate competion.

Or how bout this:"Drug cartels,if you cant beat them,join them and make it legal,if the dugs dont kill ya,the bureaucratic Bullshit, will"

The needs of people being treated for medical care should be the priority and not a check on a ok paper by a non professional in an office,They have neither the skill,education nor presence of mind to deem a doctors care of any patient situation.There needs to be a group of medical professionals to over see the insurance companies decisions.Those insurance decisions that cause pain,suffering or death need to be held responsible for their actions as much as a someone who would murder that same person/patient.

Human nature has a tendency to over look the pain of others when not connected to that person.I remember the lady murdered in plain sight of others on a street in NYC.the crowd either watched or walked by.Those Burueacrats  are no different.We need to rise up and replace them in their comfort zones or just  simply hire overlords who can not except gratuities
to make sure torture and killing by paperwork no longer takes place without someone explaining that decisions consequences

Till next time friends please tell you friends about this blog,positive or negative its something to look into.Take care till next time.
