Just another day on the job for the men in blue.

 WATCH VIDEO, THEN DECIDE IF THESE OFFICERS WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER OFF USING LETHAL FORCE

OR SHOULD THY HAVE LET THIS PERSON GO?

I am not sure were this video is from but it is taken from the dash cam of the police car. This is drunk driving suspect who obviously, while inebriated or under the influence, still had the physical ability to become very dangerous. You decide, would you want this job?

Every encounter by the police is potentially their last. Be careful how you judge them . How often do you face potential death?

 

Biden: Growing the Plantation

INCREASE DEPENDENCE ON GOVERNMENT, HAMSTRING PRIVATE BUSINESS 

RESULT WILL BE POVERTY FOR EVERYONE

Biden made the statement that everyone should buy American. Have you ever attempted to buy an 

American made product and have been unable to find one. It is hard to find an American made product. It will likely get harder in the future.

Biden claims all his social benefits will lift poor Americans up, but it will in effect, keep them on the government funded plantation and expand that plantation to include millions more.

An economy dependent on dollars from the federal government will be a declining economy. It will further benefit those industries favored by government and diminish those not on the government dole. Government cannot grow wealth, it can only use it up.

The formula for rising wealth for everyone is an environment that encourages, work, investment, and opportunity with as few hindrances as possible. These plans are just the opposite, and the democrats know it.

The Democrats obviously were alarmed at the inroads that Donald Trump made in the minority community. Many more working, many more becoming financially independent. The answer, up the anti in the scheme of government dependence and vote buying. These plans are not in the best interest of a strong, growing America, but the hope of buying the votes of anyone they can.

Promise the young, free education from 3 to 30,  further destroy their work ethic, which is nearly non existent.

Promise free day care for everyone. This will require a lot of government funded jobs.

Promise to put kids into school at 3 years old. growing an insecure and anxiety prone population. Programed from an early age that government is their GOD. Good members of the plantation. Parents are not really needed in the new socialist utopia.

At the same time, raise taxes and regulations on corporations and business which will make moving out of the country more lucrative. 

Much is made of the loopholes that allow many corporations to not pay taxes. Biden was instrumental in implementing those loopholes to favored business's and they will continue.  

Give $80 Billion to the IRS to punish the democrat enemies.  Does anyone believe that democrat big funders will be under the microscope?

The goal is obviously to increase dependence and decrease the need to actually work. At the same time make being in business a minefield of government regulations and penalties.

I can now foresee that when some essential businesses are forced into bankruptcy, the government can come to the rescue and make it a government run business. 

We are on the road to financial suicide,and many are cheering the end of  the American dream.

Worker shortage today, less jobs tomorrow.

BUSINESS WILL ADAPT TO NEW WORKER PROBLEMS

FUTURE WILL HAVE LESS WORKERS, LESS SERVICE, HIGHER PRICES

It is a fact that there is a shortage of competent, responsible workers. Covid-19 started the shortage by taking many of the part-time senior workers out of the workforce. Prudence by companies and seniors dictated that they should not be in contact with many other people. Hopefully these people will come back, but that is far from certain. Government policy of extended liberal unemployment compensation and regular checks has exasperated the problem. That and a epidemic of irresponsible and incompetent workers will leave business no choice but to make major changes in their plans.

The good news for the responsible and competent is that they have more opportunity than ever to receive increased wages, benefits and a path to advancement. Good employees are an asset to be rewarded and encouraged.

We have seen automation being incorporated for years and it is now taking a major leap forward. Today it is not uncommon for a single farmer, working alone, to plant, cultivate and harvest crops on 1000 acres. They sometimes have some part time help at harvest time. It is truly amazing.

We have seen fast food eliminate their inside dining, condense their menu and increase their profits with less workers. Many are also shortening their hours of operation, eliminating the low volumn time slots.

Automated check out will soon be the only alternative at big stores. 

Many small business's are already consolidating and eliminating non-family workers, taking only the best jobs and shunning low profit jobs. Sometimes no workers is better than workers who are not an asset.

Right now, business is tolerating, tardy, incompetentant workers, many with substance abuse problems, and a high rate of employee theft. It the future these people will likely be content on the government dole, being rewarded for their lifestyle, but jobs will not likely be in their future. They, sadly, will deny themselves the self respect and dignity of earning their own living. 

These changes will result in possibly getting anyone to do work for you, less likely. Longer wait times, increased prices and possibly needing a network of friends to get things done. We can expect a growing two tiered society based on the old fashioned idea of a strong work ethic.

Climate legislation: Saving the planet or unlimited government control?

 BIGGEST INCREASE IN JOBS WILL BE REGULATORS AND TAX COLLECTORS

ALL ABOUT CONTROLLING THE BASIC NECESSITIES OF LIFE

For several decades now we have been bombarded with a narrative about the ultimate end of human existence due to Carbon Dioxide emissions. Carbon Dioxide is one of the basic elements necessary for life on earth. It is necessary for all plant growth. Without plant growth we would not be able to exist. 

We are told that the warming of the climate is a direct result of an increase in CO2 emissions. 
We are also told that government has to have the power to control all CO2 emissions or we are all going to die and that they can save us from ourselves.

While they repeatedly claim that the vast majority of government funded scientists agree with their analysis there are other opinions about the changes in the climate. Much has to do with forces way beyond the control of any government or proposed government. The shifting of the earth on its axis, changes in solar activity and a general historical record of periods of global warming and cooling. Also scientific historical records of increases and decreases in CO2 levels way beyond our present experience.

So, below is an brief summary of a book written by Ian Rutherford Plimer., he is an australian geologist, professor emeritus of earth sciences at the University of Adelaide. He has published 130 scientific papers, six books and edited the Encyclopedia of Geology.

Where does the Carbon Dioxide really come from?

Ok, here's the bombshell, The volcanic eruption in Iceland. Since its first spewing of volcanic ash, it has, in just FOUR DAYS, NEGATED EVERY SINGLE EFFORT you have made in the last five years to control CO2 emissions on our planet-all of you. Of course, you know about this evil carbon dioxide that we are trying to suppress- it is the vital chemical compound that every plant requires to live and grow and to synthesize oxygen for humans and all animal life.

I Know... it's very disheartening to realize that all of the carbon emission savings you have accomplished while suffering the inconvenience  and expense of driving Prius hybrids, buying fabric grocery bags, sitting up to midnight to finish your kids " The Green Revolution " science project, throwing out all of your non-green cleaning supplies, putting bricks in your toilet tanks, selling your SUV and speedboat, vacationing at home instead of abroad, nearly getting hit every day on your bicycle, replacing all your 50 cent light bulbs with $10.00 light bulbs....well. all of those things you have done have all gone down the tubes in just four days!

The volcanic ash emitted into the earth's atmosphere in just four days - yes, FOUR DAYS- has totally erased every single effort you have made to reduce the evil beast, carbon. And there are around 200 active volcanoes on the planet spewing out this crud at any one time-EVERY DAY.

I should mention that when the volcano Mt. Pinatubo erupted in the Philippines in 1991, it spewed out more greenhouse gases into the atmosphere than the entire human race had emitted in all its years on earth.

Yes, Mt. Pinatubo was active for over One year. Besides this we have to consider the effects of natural solar and cosmic activity, and the well-recognized 800 year global heating and cooling cycle, which keeps happening despite our completely insignificant efforts to affect climate change.

Another fact is that the wildfire season across western USA and Australia this year alone will negate your efforts to reduce carbon in our world for the next two or thee years. And it happens every year.

So remember when we hear government propose a carbon tax on you, will it have any effect on your quality of life? Or will it just create a system with more government control of what you use to heat, drive, an ultimately eat. And make everyone a lot poorer except the beneficiaries of this scheme who will prosper by taxing and trading an invisible and weightless element.

So, this is another opinion, it is always good to consider other opinions. Of course there is the constant attempt to drown out and negate any opinion not endorsed by the ruling elite.

Time for police and their unions to stand up.

 TIME TO PUT POLITICIANS ON NOTICE THAT CONSEQUENCES ARE COMING

MAKE POLITICIANS MAKE THE HARD DECISIONS

The anti-police rhetoric and grandstanding by politicians and the media need a very heavy dose of reality. It is time for the police to give them this reality now! The back benchers and the second guessers need to be put on notice that it is their turn to make hard decisions and put it into writing.

First off, police should now put everyone on notice that in the future they will not physically engage with anyone. That they will no longer be wrestling with anyone except when they are attacked and in self defense. They should also put them on notice that if attacked they will use their service weapon in self defense.The politicians need to give written instruction in how the police are to act in every situation. If suspects resist arrest, what is the procedure that is acceptable? Should the police simply let go of anyone who does not want to be arrested? That seems to be the number one source of controversy. If the police refuse to engage in physical activity with these people, the politicians need to find an acceptable alternative. They need to find the solution.

They may consider that only black police respond to calls involving blacks. Let black officers police black neighborhoods and let white officers police white neighborhoods. Only black officers will be required to respond to incidents involving black suspects. 

It is time for legal action to brought against the media who alter 911 tapes, edit videos or any intentional misinformation that is engaged in to create chaos and violent reactions. This has gone on in the past with the Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown and many other cases. They need to be prosecuted for intentionally creating a narrative that results in lose of life and property. The police union should have standing to bring these charges and suits.

The police and their union should give every administration 2 weeks notice that they expect the answers to these questions in writing, or they will stay home until there is a satisfactory agreement. If their union is corrupt and not looking out for the well being of its officers they should be terminated and some new union should be created.

We can no longer expect police to make split second decisions to be reviewed frame by frame by a bunch of no-nothing political operatives and activists who have never been in their position. Time to put them in the position to make all the decisions for the police beforehand in writing or experience the consequences of no police.

 

What is the connection of psychiatric drugs to suicide and mass shootings?

 MASSIVE INCREASE IN PSYCHIATRIC DRUGS BY AMERICANS

1 IN 5 OF ADULTS NOW PRESCRIBED PSYCHIATRIC DRUGS

It is interesting that there is little coverage of the massive increases in psychiatric drugs by Americans. With 1 in 5 adults and 1 in 20 children prescribed at least 1 daily drug, you would think it would be of interest to investigative reporters. You would also hope that there would be some analysis whether all this mental altering drug prescriptions are really necessary?  Does the fact that these drugs are a major source of advertising revenue for the major media have any effect on their reporting?

In the 1980's and 90's  there was much talk about the effects of Prozac and the relationship with suicide and mass shootings. If you recall the term "going postal" with a series of shootings by postal workers . At the time it was revealed that many of these offenders were taking prozac. We no longer hear any questions about the connection prescription drugs and suicide and unexplained mass shooting. Has there not been a survey of the drug use of these offenders?

Today there is a ever growing number of psychiatric drugs on the market. Here are just the most prescribed: 

1. Xanax    48 million

2. Zoloft     42 million

3. Celexa    39 million

4. Prozac    29 million

5. Ativan     25 million

There are many dozens of other drugs. Many of these drugs are not the only drug that is being taken by these patients, some have been prescribe up to a dozen of these drugs to address their symptoms. I would speculate that the more drugs you take the more symptoms you need to adress.

We hear all kinds of causes espoused by the media and activists, but I have yet to hear of any question of the use of these drugs and the effects on the sanity of the american population.

It is reported that 25% of women between 40-50 take antidepressant medicine.

Many of these drugs are to address depression and anxiety. Anxiety is a normal emotion humans experience every day. It makes us pay attention and make decisions. In a more complex and complicated world we may have more reasons to experience anxiety. Suppressing this anxiety will not solve the problem. More time of introspection and meditation will help us sort out the causes of anxiety and make decisions to address the cause.

Depression is also often a sign we need to address conflicts in our lives. Suppressing the depression will not solve the problem. Acknowledging the problem then addressing these symptoms in a healthy way will be real cures for depression. Exercise,  diet and vitamin D in the winter  are some help in the physical side, and addressing the emotional conflicts will help. Drugs may actually complicate the problem.

We have been convinced as a nation that any discomfort is a disease we can cure or alleviate by some drug. In this modern world we are bombarded with an never ending list of things we need to adress. For many it may be time to analysis our lives and simplify things. Eliminate those things that are not the most necessary. Do you really have to do all that you are doing? Do the kids need to play every sport and every activity available? 

Prescribed drugs are just part of the drug problem, then we have those who self medicate with illegal drugs and alcohol. I suspect the most serious problem in America today is an epidemic of drug use. Many of the other problems can not be solved without a mentally healthy population.

Roots of Russia, U.S. distrust 5

U.S., RUSSIAN RELATIONS, POST WW2, PART 5

COMMUNIST EXPERIMENT ENDS

MAJOR POLICY ERROR BY THE WEST

Boris Yeltsin was elected president of the Russian Soviet Federation Socialist Republic on June 12, 1991. With the resignation of Gorbachev he became the first elected president of the Russian Federation on Dec. 25th, 1991. One must take note that Yeltsin was the first elected president in the history of Russia. Democracy, free markets, and self government  had not existed at any time in their history. This was a population of much ethnic, cultural, political, and religious diversity. Yeltsin set out to embrace free market capitalism in a country with no experience and very little exposure to these ideas. It is a marvel that such a transition began in such a peaceful manner. There were still communists and many who would have preferred the old system. There was still great distrust of the west and capitalism. Ronald Reagan and the U.S. had the highest approval of the Russian people in history. Some in this country believed it was a plan to lull the U.S and its allies into complacency. Reagan's motto was, " Trust but verify", this attitude was acceptable to the Russians.

Yeltsin began by privatizing all government industry, this was accomplished by giving citizens vouchers for 10,000 rubles that could be transferred into shares of stock. While this was an admirable idea, many of the Russian people did not value these options and sold them to the more sophisticated members of their society. These were primarily former government officials and communist party members. This created the era of the oligarchs, who became very rich and powerful in a very short time. Yeltsin also urged cooperation with many economists from the U.S. and other western countries to advise them on how to move to a capitalist system.  I personally remember this time as a time of great hope of  peace and the welcoming of Russia into the community of nations. This was desired by many in Russia and the rest of the world. It was not to be a smooth transition, as one could imagine, but it was a movement that was now irreversible, at least as far as returning to communism. Boris Yeltsin was re-elected in 1996. These were times were we enjoyed the best relations with Russian and the west since 1917.

As the Soviet Union was being replaced by independence of the former Warsaw Pact countries and Russia, many negotiations were being engaged in to create a stable transition. The Russian Federation and NATO agreed that the unified Germany could be a member of NATO, but that all of the former Warsaw Pact countries would be independent entities. These agreements have been verified by former west German diplomats and former negotiators for the United States. Russia still had a memory of the fact that their survival was secured in the wars with Napoleon, WW1 and WW2 by the large distances from their possible enemies. Their large terrain was similar to our security of the Atlantic and Pacific ocean. This agreement was broken on July 8, 1997 when NATO agreed to the inclusion of Hungary, the Check Republic and Poland into NATO. This was accomplished in 1999. In 2004 Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Slovenia, Slovakia, Bulgaria, and Romania were also included.  According to George F. Kennan, an American diplomat and an advocate of the containment policy, this decision "may be expected to have an adverse effect on the development of Russian democracy; to restore the atmosphere of the cold war to East-West relations, to impel Russian foreign policy in directions decidedly not to our liking. This decision was criticized by many military, political and academic leaders as a " policy error of historic proportions." It seemed to be more than a policy error, but an intentional attempt to abort the democratization of Russia. This could be compared to Stalin's refusal to abide by his commitments at the end of WW2.

This attempt to encircle the Russian Federation  at a time of its vulnerability brought out the worst fears of the Russians. It would be no different than Mexico and Canada joining the former Warsaw Pact. This was the beginning of the new distrust between Russia and the United States and its allies.
