** New Hit Song For Workers' Rights **

Worker's of the world...all unite...and we, the consumers, we too, need to unite, and to fight, for the hard working worker's of the world...a world of privilege for us, and a world of misery, for the worker's of the world...Maria Joan Juarez Hidalgo Beam (Boheme)

Amazon Workers on Strike Attacked by National Police

Well, I am ashamed, that I have ordered so much from Amazon...especially, for knowing about their worker's rights abuses, and the hard conditions that they work under. Low pay, long hours, little to no benefits, having to depend on governmental programs to put food on the table, and not having the right to organize, to defend basic worker's rights, are just a few of some of the abuses by Amazon toward's their workers.

It was just so easy for me to click, "buy"...especially due to my epilepsy when I could not get out, and finding products that I could not find else where. They have become the electronic equivalent of War-Mart...a company I have boycotted for years. Both Amazon, and Wal-Mart, have their hands all over the world.

My upbringing, due to my father's work as a Union Leader, taught me to defend worker's rights, and to never support any company that undermines worker's rights and dignity. And, especially to never cross a picket-line. This conditions are not only happening in Spain, but in the United States as well. I am certainly globally.

 So, it is time to put those beliefs back into motion with Amazon. I will now boycott Amazon, and just do with out, with what I think I need. 

So much of our consumerism, harms many worker's world wide, and companies, such as Amazon, put many small businesses out of the business world.  It is time for all of us to stop and think, before we buy, and who is REALLY, paying the price for what we think we need.

And, truly, why does one company, and the head and founder of that company, need so much money...why...when so many go without...?

With solidarity with Spain and for all worker's right's around the globe...

The Gandhi Rap - be the change u want to see

Peace and harmony is what we need no matter who begins it...if it be Donald Trump, if he is allowed to, despite of all of his many flaws, then let it be...the hand of peace around the world is what we need...Ghandi...a great inspiration.

CrossTalk: Apocalyptic Reaction

I have not been keeping up with the "news" lately, for several personal reasons, that I have been taking care of...I happened to see a video posted on Facebook about this summit, between President Vladimir Putin, of the Russian Federation, and President Donald Trump, of the United States of America. I think this is a very good thing that this has occurred. 

Relations between Russia, and the United States, need to become united. It is not "treason," to begin diplomatic talks...this is the right thing to do. Barack Obama and his war mongering team, began this entire fiasco, along with all of the Russia Phobia, and the allegations of Russia interfering with the 2016 elections!!! Seriously, when is the United States, going to get over it's hypocritical hypocrisy!? And, the media is all over it!!! 

"TREASON...ANTI-PATRIOTIC...IMPEACHMENT, RUSSIA IS THE ENEMY!!! I mean honestly, it is so unreal. And, both sides of the coin, are sending these messages, all over the "mainstream," media...Republicans and Democrats alike...and the people of the United States. 

I find it all appalling. Why is there even discussion about the so-called, "Russian," interference...it did not happen, once again, I repeat, IT DID NOT HAPPEN. This is not my opinion, there is evidence, from the FBI, that this did not happen. Time to move on everyone...

Treason, for being diplomatic!? Wow, it is diplomacy, that calls for mutual understanding, and for peace. So, now diplomatic relations, are treasonous?...unbelievable. Can't make money off of peace... 

ANTI-PATRIOTIC, I won't even waste my time on that one. IMPEACHMENT...not going there as well. "RUSSIA IS THE ENEMY," I will go there...how is Russia our enemy, when President Putin, has always referred to the as United States, "our friends?" 

Russia, has not made one single aggressive act, towards the United States, and, they would have the right to do so, if they ever did. It is quite the opposite for the USA. We are the aggressors. The entire country of Russia, on land, sea, and air, is surrounded, by all branches, of the United States Military. And, there have been many attempts, by the US Military, to instigate acts of war toward Russia. How does Russia respond? With their military ships, and planes, making no aggressive act, they maneuver the aggressors away from Russian zones. 

So, I ask you, who is the aggressor...and why is Russia, "our enemy.? If you bring up Crimea, or the Ukraine as an excuse, you completely have the facts wrong, about what actually, did happen. If you bring up the fact, that Putin, was in the KGB, this automatically makes him,"evil?" What about our horrific CIA!? Putin is an oppressor to this group of peoples or that group of peoples, and what about the United States!!!??? 

It truly, is time for the United States, to grow up, to accept responsibility, for it's international crimes, and, to become a diplomatic country, and to, put an end of being, the bullies, and the attitude, of being the righteous of the world.

The fact that Syria is being discussed, as well, is being stated as, another, treasonous act. And, the responsibility, that the United States, has, to help rebuild Syria. This is due to, the United States, not only instigating this war, but also creating and funding, the "terrorists" factions, fighting to overthrow, Syrian President Al-Bashar Assad, which, was what the United States wanted from the very beginning. It did not happen. Syria and her allies were victorious. Al-Bashar Assad is the legally elected leader of a sovereign nation. Wanting to be sovereign, means, to be an enemy of the United States.

So, this meeting in Helsinki, is an awesome act, and it is much needed. No matter, what I think, of Donald Trump, as our president, his reaching out his hand, in diplomacy, is very honorable. And, he is also, upholding a campaign promise. How many years has it been, since a president, of the United States, upheld a campaign promise?

Donald Trump cannot win for losing or losing for win...he is beholden, by both parties, when he bombs Syria for false allegations...he is demonized, by both parties, when he reaches for peace. Perhaps, Barack Obama held the torch, for peace, but I cannot recall, but he certainly made the calls for war and more killing.

Enough said, with the exception, stop being so ridiculous United States, the Government, the media, and the people...just stop.

With peace and love,

A few post scripts that I would like to add:

I did not vote for Donald Trump.

I am neither a Democrat nor a Republican.

I do not support most of Donald Trump's policies, especially on immigration.

I do support the fact that he does want diplomacy with countries that we need to repair relations.

I do not support that he is not doing this with all the countries that the United States call our "enemies."

I do not condone his outrageous behaviors present and in the past.

I do not support his hypocrisy and his ignorance.

I voted for Barack Obama for his first term.

I am ashamed, that I voted for him in the second term. I wanted to vote green, but my fear of Mitt Romney winning, swayed me into voting for Barack Obama. At this point, I was realizing just what kind of man, and President, he truly was...and what he did under his presidency, as far as foreign policy and immigration are shameful. And, another man of hypocrisy.

I am speaking positively of Donald Trump on this issue alone, and it one of great importance, and if he sidesteps backwards on this diplomatic act, as well as others, it will be due to all of the pressure put on him leaders of both parties, by the Pentagon, by the CIA, and all interested parties in endless war...for the bottom line, war makes money, war gives the perception of control and domination...war is sadly, now making us who we are.

Despite the fact that we have literally destroyed, Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, along with brutally murdering their leader, Muammar al-Kadafi, and in the process of destroying Yemen, Somalia, and doing our best to do so in Pakistan. 

And, despite the fact, that we are giving billions of tax-payer's money, to support Israel in it's destruction of Palestine. Despite the fact, that millions of refugees have been created, countless dead, soldiers killed, and soldiers returning home distraught, forever changed, and many suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. So many suffering families of the worn ruined countries and the families of United States Military personnel.

As well as, our continued aggression toward Russia, North Korea, China, Venezuela, Central America, wanting to instigate a war, with Iran, and overthrowing countless leaders of sovereign nations, who benefit their people, only to install, the real dictators, and the puppets of the United States. All of our aggression, is about greed, for resources, for control, for domination, and for power. It certainly, has nothing to do, with "protecting our freedom," nor with "spreading Democracy." All of these, which are fallacies, and all, only about destruction.

So there are my post scripts...

Smoke Signals - Trailer

Since, recently, the 4th of July passed, in the United States...the day of Independence, I think it is a good time, to reflect on the peoples, who suffered greatly, to create this nation.



It is estimated that over, 10,000,000 indigenous were killed over the years, of creating the United States, perhaps ever more. Those that did survive, were forced onto reservations, that were not their homelands, and at that time, the government and the settlers, thought was barren land. It was not, and today, the indigenous, and their lands, are still being exploited. And, sadly, racism and stereo typing is still rampant. http://endgenocide.org/learn/past-genocides/native-americans/

Around the 1900's, it was estimated that 30,000 indigenous remained, after this genocide, and, that in the 2010 Census, 52,000,00, indigenous were identified, as living in, what is now the United States http://endgenocide.org/learn/past-genocides/native-americans/...so one of my one points is that many, so many suffered, and still are suffering...due to the creation of the United States, for this reason, I choose not to celebrate.



Another fact, mostly forgotten, is that indigenous peoples still do exist in this nation...and not only, where casinos are,...most American Indians live on reservations...a fact that is so easily out of most peoples conciseness. Reservations, are in places that, are not visible to us, on a daily basis, so it is very easy to think...they no longer exist. Yet, they do. 



The indigenous have a very difficult time assimilating to modern life...their ways and their customs have existed for thousands and thousands of years...they have the right to not assimilate. 



I share this trailer with you, to remind all those of the United States, and of the world, that Native Americans are living here on these lands. Although, they are invisible to most..they are here. Parts of the movie contain stereo typical views, but it is to remind, the watchers, that these are stereo typical today still. The actors are indigenous to the land of what is now know as the United States. It is funny and sad...a film, I highly recommend. I hope you will enjoy, if you choose to watch it, one day, and that you remember, the original peoples.
