Hooray for arson! [liquor store burnings in 1992 accomplished Karen Bass’s goals]

Rep. Karen Bass, a CA  Afro-American and top contender to be Joe Biden’s running mate, said in 1992 that the burning of hundreds of liquor stores during the L.A. riots was a “miracle” because it rid poor neighborhoods of hot spots for crime and drug activity. 

 Karen Bass was a community activist in the L.A. area  at the time focused on shutting down liquor stores, many of which were owned by Korean immigrants. 

The Democrat gave several interviews after the riots on the liquor store issue. She told The New York Times at the time that while arson was not the ideal path to force liquor stores closed, the burnings accomplished what her activist group had tried for years to achieve. 

Over 200 liquor store  businesses owned by Korean-Americans burned; one liquor store owned by blacks burned.  Only a dozen liquor stores  were re-built.

Citizen outcry against lock down, mask wearing, fines in Santa Cruz County

Citizens  assembled and spoke against the lock down, against wearing masks and  why they dislike possible   fines for not wearing masks.   The Board of Supervisors in Santa Cruz County CA listened.    

‘No masks!   Don’t criminalize people! Put masks on the  criminals  Gov. Newsom let out  of prison &  return  those criminals  to prison’ ! 

 ‘That cheap anti-malaria drug  hydroxycloroquine  works fine!’   ‘Masks keep people   from breathing properly!’ 

 Such were some of the comments by residents of Santa Cruz County to the Board of Supervisors.   

Live-streamed  on the  Santa Cruz Board of Supervisor’s Facebook page,   some  8-10  persons spoke  strongly 8/4/2020  in opposition to requirements to wear face masks and fines for not wearing them.  Click HERE to access live stream for Santa Cruz County CA Board of Supervisors.

A few more quotes from people speaking to Santa Cruz County’s Board of Supervisors 8/4/2020:

An older man said:   There’s no peer review double blind studies done that support wearing masks.    Anthony Fauci  MD originally said not to wear masks.  The Surgical General wrote 3/31 that masks are detrimental to our health. 

‘Various  MDs have lost jobs and had death threats related to use of the anti-malaria drug hydroxycloroquine  in conjunction with zinc and other medications.  Instead of the cheap anti-malaria drug,  MD  Fauci blesses a drug that costs $2K for a five day treatment.     Gov. Newsom  sends money to Santa Cruz County Health Officer to keep us in lockdown!  residents are waking up and voters will not vote for you.’

Another man:  ‘It’s Victory Day!  There’s 34 studies that the anti-malaria drug hydroxycloroquine    is effective and there’s no need for a vaccine.  The MD’s  who support the anti-malaria drug   were taken off Facebook, Twitter and YouTube.  That’s Big Pharmo influence.   The mainstream media has been taken over.’

A young  health professional:    ‘One in five colds are the  virus. You should  talk about taking enough vitamin D.  Persons with darker pigmentation have different vitamin D requirements.      You are beyond nuts!    I’m ashamed of your  attitude:    ‘Give me safety or give me death’ Do you want to live in a bubble?  My deaf aunt who reads lips may have to.  What you’re  doing,   I’m ashamed of all of you. ‘

So what’s  California’s Democrat Gov. Newsom  done about masks? Remember, CA is the 5th largest economy in the world.   And CA is run by Democrats who believe in  globalization.  Hence, it makes ‘Newsonian sense’ that Gov. Newsom bought masks from China from a company that makes electric cars.  What Newsom did not do is get permission from the legislature before he purchased heaps and heaps of face masks.

About masks in CA:   In mid-April,  CA Gov. Newsom bought one million KN95s facemasks  for $5.5 from a Chinese brand that was on the FDA authorized list but was removed the following month and never added back, according to state purchasing records.    The Wall Street Journal,  FDA’s Mask Standards Shift, Sowing Problems  says that California officials didn’t respond to inquiries about what the state has done about ‘the bad masks’.

_________

Aptos Psychologist:   Lots of people don’t trust what government officials put out as ‘must do’ requirements concerning management of Covid-19.

People are right that each individual/ family needs to figure out what makes sense.  Small children –who can’t read lips and need to see facial expressions — don’t do well  developing language and social abilities with parents wearing face masks all the time.

Compare Obama & Trump on money in pocket, unemployment & inequality of income — let’s hoof back to Obama or re-create what Trump did?

Who did a better job on the economy — Obama or Trump — comparing money in the pocket, unemployment and inequality of income?

Obama fans  — read and weep!  Your hero Obama  stayed stuck in the mud.  This is from the Wall Street Journal Opinion page, Monday, August 3, 2020.

Money:   So did Obama or Trump put the most money in the pocket of  American families?     Comparing Obama with Trump as to which President did the best job raising  the annual medium income  (AMHI), Trump did twice as well as Obama.    That’s comparing Obama’s 8 years with the first two years of Trump’s administration.   (see WSJ,   The Economy That Obama Handed Trump Aug. 3, 2000).

Unemployment:   Unemployment and under-employment under Obama?   Remember the vast number of working-age people who were unable to find jobs and had given up actively looking for work during the Obama yaars?   The labor-force declined during Obama’s years and in Sept. 2015 it was the lowest since 1977.  Millions during those 8 years  were not working.  Remember all the people who  were reduced from full to part-time employment due to ObamaCare insurance rules?  In comparison, prior to the pandemic Trump’s policies  have encouraged job growth and put increased the well-being of workers and that of their families. [Teresa & Rich Guerriello’s Letter]

Income inequality:      How come so much more inequality?   Obama or Trump related?    Under Obama, after a full four years in office the unemployment rate was higher than when Obama took office Jan. 20, 2009.  This high unemployment rate persisted because it was the weakest expansion rate since the 1940s.   During  the 8 years of Obama with low economic growth and high unemployment, income inequality increased.    [Lee Huffman]

Aptos Psychologist:  Lately the drum beats by progressives and mainstream   media are getting louder and louder  about ‘income inequality’  that exists between ‘whites’ and Afro-Americans.  Progressives connect the increasing  income inequality between whites and blacks to ‘structural racism’ and ‘white supremacy’ .    Those are made up constructs of which there’s considerable discussion lately.

Why not just face the economic facts that during  Obama’s economy there was considerable increase in income inequality. That was there before Trump took office.

Why do you hate Trump? Be specific!

So why do you hate Trump?  Be specific!

Trump  does not ‘act Presidential’ some say.    That’s what  William  DeLaArteaga  writes  in his recently published essay    On Discerning Trump’s Character and Presidency. It’s available on Amazon with  Kindle for $3.50.  DeLaArteaga says Trump is full of ‘bull-shit’,  that Trump is a  narcissist and  not a  ‘gentleman President’.

A writer for the Wall Street Journal, David Gelernter  says that  people  hate Trump for his vulgarity, that he won’t walk away from a fight, that he’s blunt and that  Trump  has no ideology.   Gelernter also  says some hate Trump because he does not think men and women are interchangeable and because of  Trump’s  love of simple ideas that may work  e.g., the recent view that perhaps   a malaria drug used for 50 years can  used as a preventative or cure for COVID-19.

So — why do you hate Trump?  Don’t just say ‘he lies!   Or, he’s a racist!  Be specific!

Remember — Seattle’s Nakamura U.S. Courthouse named for 20 year old Japanese-American hero

Remember — Seattle’s besieged federal courthouse is named after a young, 20 year old Japanese-American soldier and hero  named Nakamura.

This young soldier in 1942, shortly  after he and his family were interned, joined the Army’s famous 442 Regimental Combat Team  and  two years later  saved his platoon by destroying the enemy’s machine gun nest and covering the  withdrawal of his platoon.   In 1944, Nakamura  lost his life to save fellow  American lives.

Nakamura  was the first Army volunteer from Minidoka Relocation Center (an internment camp) to be killed in action.  In 2000, President Clinton presented  22 war heroes with Medals of Honor;  these soldiers   had been denied Medals of Honor at the time on account of their Asian ancestry.

Aptos Psychologist:  Asian lives matter.  All lives matter.

Just the type to call for racial justice [Jussie Smollett]

Unemployed actor and hate hoaxer Jussie Smollett was spotted protesting  outside of Trump Tower this weekend.

Remember Jussie Smollett?   He staged a hate crime and lied to police.

Hate hoaxer Jussie Smollett was indicted in February on 6 charges of disorderly conduct by a special prosecutor in Chicago more than one year after he falsely claimed two white  Trump supporters attacked him with bleach and put a rope around his neck.

It turned out Jussie Smollett paid two Nigerian brothers $3,500 to help him carry out the hate hoax.

The “two white Trump supporters” were black Nigerians in white face. Jussie later claimed that drugs were responsible. 

This weekend Jussie Smollett was out protesting in front of Trump Tower in New York City.

erase history? change Cabrillo College name?

 

 

 

Erase history  or deal with it and move on?  Some seek to wipe out the name of Juan Rodriquez  Cabrillo from the Cabrillo College (Aptos, CA) name.

Juan Rodriquez Cabrillo was a Spanish explorer  of the CA coastline back in 1542. That’s 400 years ago.

Juan Rodriquez Cabrillo, who   claimed San Diego Bay for Spain, may be  permanently  scrubbed from Cabrillo College.  That depends on what the sub-committee  brings back to the full Board of Trustees and on  how the full  Board votes.

Madison Reach, who now attends U.C. Berkeley, took anthropology 6  at Cabrillo College.  This class is offered in the Spring every other year.   Reach says Cabrillo is a ‘documented serial rapist’ and that his name is ‘offensive’ to her.

So who taught  Anthropology  6 at Cabrillo?   What evidence was presented to students  that Juan Rodriquez Cabrillo,  was  a ‘serial rapist’  400 years ago  in 1542?  Google his name and one finds that   Juan Cabrillo, was Spanish, wealthy,  married  to a  Beatrice and that he  had two sons. Cabrillo missed discovering San Francisco Bay, got as far north as Point Reyes and  died due to an infection in his ankle while protecting his men under attack from natives. Oh dear — fighting with the natives caused his death.  How can we find out more?

How to find out more about Anthropology 6 which is offered at Cabrillo College?     Kristin Wilson is head of the department (831 477 3253).  She  probably knows who teaches the course on native CA cultures.  Whether  there’s ‘documented’ evidence that Cabrillo was a ‘serial rapist’ is ….  that seems unlikely.

Want to let the Board of Trustees know what you think?   Do you support an change in name or not?  How much will it cost for a name change?  Are there better purposes e.g.,  improve accessibility  to the college?

There are 7 Districts, Santa Cruz is in District 4, Aptos is in District 6 and the City of Watsonville has it’s own District, District 5.

The next meeting of the Board of Trustees is August 3, 2020 in Watsonville Center. The following Sept. 14 there’s a meeting in Aptos at the Sesnon House at 6 pm.

Madison Reach was the guest of the Saturday Special on AM 1080 on 7/25/2020. The Saturday Special, intended as a forum for expression of ideas, is hosted every Saturday morning from 10-12 noon by Michael Zwerling.

Mac Donald’s presentation will be the most thorough explication of the issues of crime, race and policing that you can see anywhere.

Will someone please  invite Dr Lewis — the New York pastor who offers Anti-Racist Workshops — to listen in? Ask questions?

The first workshop by Dr. Lewis asked people to take a Pledge:  to learn ‘the Story’ of racism,  and to change ‘the Story’ of racism. That was June 17 &18.  Her next one [go to www.middlechurch.org ] is July 22 and 23 at 4 PM California time.

Dr. Lewis’s opinion is that whites are responsible for racism against blacks and that the problem goes back to Thomas Jefferson and his published views — quite unfavorable –  on blacks.  Remember who Thomas Jefferson was?  That dude  who, totally, wrote the Declaration of Independence.

Fordham, a Catholic University, condones multiple murders [the Tiananmen Square Massacre]

A Fordham University student is threatening to sue the university after it placed him on disciplinary probation related to two  Instagram posts.

The first  post  on Instagram was a picture commemorating slain retired police Capt. David Dorn with the caption, “Y’all a bunch of hypocrites,” referring to the Black Lives Matter movement which the student  dislikes.

 

 

 

 

 

The second  post on Instagram  was an image of Tong holding a legally acquired firearm and the caption, “Don’t tread on me,” along with a hashtag remembering  the Tiananmen Square Massacre, posted on the 31st anniversary of the event. Tong himself left  China when quite young to escape the Chinese communists.

The letter from Fordham Dean of Students Keith Eldredge didn’t specify anything wrong with the  Instagram posts other than the possession of a firearm, referring to social media posts “related to the current racial issues in the country and political issues in China.”

The refusal to specify what was wrong with them shows even Fordham knows how ridiculous this is, and referring to Tiananmen Square as a “political issue in China” sounds like it’s straight out of a Chinese propaganda handbook.

Fordham found that  senior Austin Tong’s posts violated its policies on “bias and/or hate crimes” and “threats/intimidation.” The probation restricts his access to campus, forcing him to finish his degree online, and bars him from participating in extracurricular activities. The university also ordered Tong to complete implicit bias training and to write a letter of apology.
