    Erasing History and the past.

    If you get rid of Certain points in history, you will only end up with 1 group fighting itself. Who is to Blame for yourself, Shooting you in the foot?? Im waiting for them to get to Shakespeare. And trying to explain removing 3 of its major Characters. NEXT STEP. Is to replace those with Good ending with the NAME TRUMP.

    For all of Capitalism, and getting a nation to do the work/fighting, Rather then them.

    If ONLY we could get National Capitalism to wonder over to other countries and MAKE FRIENDS. These SAME ideals, causing problems, Came around when OPEC started up and took over the middle east Oil. The 'We want that back' mentality caused many problems. As each of those countries that were TAKEN OVER by the EU and the USA, wanted their Own freedom, to control their own nations, Insted of Shipping/Exporting all the nations Goods Back to the EU and USA, and NOT SHARING THE WEALTH. Just cant get the Ideal into Heads that Everyone can be a capitalist, NOT Just you White folks.

    There is something...

    WHY pay taxes, if they are Closing all of the departments?? Become a democrat, and with no Federal representation?? PAY NO TAX. If the Gov. isnt working for the Masses.. NO TAX for the rich. Trump dont like taxes, so Why should we Pay taxes? they cut them for the rich and thats About Less than 25% of the nation. The OTHER 75% wants a FAIR TAX. So since they dont pay, why should we?

    If a nation is good

    Then there is little to stop it. If things are fair and just and Lies are disproven.. There is little that those living here/there would ever acknowledge, that Isnt truth. And the reverse is also true. The failure of a nation is built on injustice, Lies, confusion.

    lets see.

    Tesla? easy kill, but he has huis other company to back him up. AND I would watch his stocks bottom out, GRAB them fast. Buy back and forth with a few friends to get the price up abit, THEN DUMP.. Cyber truck. A truck that you have to hit a SAFTY switch to wash or you SHORT the battery compartment? A TRUCK that has BASIC STREET TIRES, for best millage in town/highway, But cant dig itself out of the Dirt/snow. And if you hit to many speed bumps, I WILL BET it will shatter the batteries. A truck with traction control?? Full 4 wheel power and 1 slip and it "your vehicle minimizes wheel spin by controlling brake pressure and motor power." Go look what VW is doing for the Bug, getting RID of the DASH computer that needs Multiple taps to do things. GOING BACK to Buttons and switches, THEY LAST LONGER..

    For all the fun things the nations Doent do for itself

    Capitalism takes advantage of everyone and everything. How far can you Push that idea? WHO pays for the Salvage sent to other nations as Garbage, that THEY end up recycling. For all the Digging and Imported goods, the metals, the silicone and Tons of Chemicals that Could be recycled and USED HERE.. Its similar to China grabbing every Car/truck thats in salvage in the USA for abit more money. Take it home and reprocess/recycle it TO SELL IT BACK to us. Which bring up the topic, WHO has the most expensive Executives and the MOST top paid?

    Lomg agp, and far awy

    I was in Shriners Hospital. Shriners has 1 BIG ruleAs this is Not a 1-2 in a room atmosphere, This is a Long room, with over 40 kids in beds, doing very little. That Rule is, NO CHILDREN ADMITTED, unless requested. Some stupid family decided to Sneak The Brother of 1 of the Patients in, For a B day surprise?? NOT knowing that a Friend of that Brother had Mumps. 6 kids infected and I ended up Passed out for 2 weeks. Do understand this is the 60's Then along comes this Compressor powered device for injections... Wonderful everything in 1 shot. Line up at school, and NO ONE CHECKED the pressure on the gun, WHILE kids walked away in pain, from Something they were TOLD was PAIN LESSSSS. Good luck folks, its another rocky road. PS. If he wants to Fix Nutrician? FIX THE FOOD PROCESSING and feeding Chicken with feed that makes them Thirsty, and adds about 4 Pounds to the Chicken in WATER weight.

    Seen before

    Excuse still dealing with Eye surgery. Iv seen this 1-2 times before. Its a smash and grab. Flash in the pan. Knowing How the gov. is supposed to work, Patches will be installed to cover whats been done. then Kinda reorganize. But you may never see whats going on in the background. 1 times they changed how congress could/would be run, they changed the rules to befit THEIR side. The Change was during the Off cycle, when Some would come in and Adjust things to work better, but required a Forum. Now you need 1 voice to cancel what is/was being done to Adjust things better. There have been other Adjustments along the way. Would love to revert congress to the 1970's forum. Said before, they are playing with the 0.1% of expenditures, NOT the section that covers over 50%(military) that has 1 of the oldest Mainframes in the nation(IRS has the other). BOTH have been obsolete since the 80's, and require special programmers, to get things Out of them. Both need to be defunct and Totally NEW, and all the Data transferred and updated, and would take 1-2 years to do the job. Congress has been trying to get Both, but the Pentagon, cant figure out how, and the IRS cent get the money from congress to do it. then there is someone incharge of NOAA, that has his own company to compete, since the first Trump installation. And wants NOAA not to compete with his company, but Still NEEDS access to all the equipment NOAA has access to, to get his data. AND: https://scontent.fboi1-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t39.30808-6/480902331_10212660811271020_4298085923343053934_n.jpg?stp=cp6_dst-jpg_tt6&_nc_cat=100&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=833d8c&_nc_ohc=LkEKQTEN3LQQ7kNvgFPugzi&_nc_oc=Adh4bUdwVjbtYhKyODYr2iFi88aQVXR83wyX-_182e_6bscX0wJDNnGsZgICSKB5hCk&_nc_zt=23&_nc_ht=scontent.fboi1-1.fna&_nc_gid=ARuD1oARPWtr5kOsQu1Zyst&oh=00_AYCRiTCWvubUC-tke_9tRXoSz3_UTRe5Gora47g23lqWgA&oe=67CD2FDC In the End, Elon has figured how to Pat trump on the head and LET him do as Elon suggests. But who is in charge? We dont see Trump gathering him Minions, and discussing what to do and whats happening. Which every president has done before. On a side note, Elon as a college drop out, gains Citizenship, and has 3 Nationalities. But where did the money come from for him to Jump into 3 different high tech business's? IMO, he didnt earn it, did he? Or did his Father Add to it? Being smart is 1 thing, being rich is another. It would be interesting to expunge him from the USA back to Canada. Just to see what happens. Cuse as with trump, I dont think he has money left from all he got from the Gov. was required to goto his companies for development.

    wy not a simple one for the class

    DONT FEED THE FISH. But some of the real problem? is not one Taught us or our schools HOW to care for the fish. All the real fish DIED years ago, and OTHER stupid fish were added to the tank. NOW what do you feed the fish you want and NOT feed the other fish you DONT. WE are the last line in feeding fish, Caring for fish, and Doing the SAME with our Gov. NOT the political parties, WE have to create the Balance in the system. And if you like he Cancer analogy, its that we can Feed then and Add a little extra to the Bait. to SHOW what they are. THEN get rid of them. Problem is that we forgot HOW to get rid of them.. Where are the rules and controls created for the populas to Control our gov? WHO FLUSHED THEM??

    Hope for the future

    amino acids and cancer. Do abit of lookup. https://www.nature.com/articles/s12276-020-0375-3 Specific Amino Acids and Their Implications: Glutamine: This amino acid is highly consumed by cancer cells and provides energy, carbon, and nitrogen for growth and proliferation. Asparagine: Asparagine is essential for the synthesis of nucleotides and glycoproteins, which are important for cancer cell survival and metastasis. Branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs): BCAAs (leucine, isoleucine, and valine) provide energy and support protein synthesis in cancer cells. Methionine: Methionine is involved in cell methylation and antioxidant defense, and it can promote cancer cell growth and resistance to chemotherapy. Serine and Glycine: These amino acids are required for the synthesis of lipids and proteins, and they can also regulate cancer cell metabolism. Altered Amino Acid Metabolism in Cancer: Cancer cells often exhibit altered amino acid metabolism, characterized by: Increased uptake of specific amino acids Increased de novo synthesis of certain amino acids Altered utilization of amino acids for energy production and biosynthesis These changes enable cancer cells to acquire the necessary amino acids for their growth and survival, even in nutrient-limited environments. There is Much More about this. Knowing how this works can help and explain HOW the Cancer spreads. And the worst of it is Sugar Proteins. Which can come from MANY sources. But using these paths to get Into the cancer(s). CAN BE, Like feeding lead to kill yourself. Lead has a sweetness to it. and was not noticed in the past when things had Lead in them, and why Many died of the poisoning. the Future awaits us. You might also look up what Amino Acids Create in the system. Its one of the major building blocks opf our system.

    TL/DR all of it.

    Excuse, I had eye surgery. Its agreed that if you let an independent, AI scan and Correlate it Might be a good thing. But its to easy to program it to be WHAT THEY WANT, not what we are all looking for. Its as bad as watching TV and the news on every channel, or Every comic book you can find. Whats FED in or it finds the MOST of will probably be ascertained to be the norm. Ask it a question and every answer is based on what it has Found. The Key word is FOUND. Not always the truth, fact, or a comparison of ideologies concepts or What is REALLY needed. Walk into a room of debating Consonants, and yu may never hear a Vowel. It may not understand that there IS a vowel. Which means you Must explain it? Which goes back to programming. you might as well be teaching a Child, and use words they dont understand yet. The Idea of competing is forbidden in the Current climate of USA Capitalism. they dont like a FAIR ground to stand on, they want the advantage, in anyway shape or form. then we get to the area of Understanding and learning. Insted of Grabbing info off the net/books/news/Idiocy of Forums and debates. The creation of its Own opinion and having a CHOICE or a restriction a Company wants to place, that would force a choice of Only sources it has chosen. Then we can get into Forbidden subjects. Think about Facebook, demanding true names, and requiring ID. Is THAT their responsibility? It seems at FB, that that Ideal has fallin into the Dumpster abit, with Inbound Adverts from companies(?) that are online sending out cheap notices, And as a company they dont need to ID themselves of PROVE where they are in the Whole world. Sorting facts and truth, as well as the WHOLE story is like looking USA history and not wanting to pay for all the Written books on the subjects. If AI had that advantage, how many $50 history books on certain wars and battles would be needed? If we forget all of that, lets ask a BASIC question. How much room/data are we talking about? How many remote access from 1 server to another Planted around the world with the Data needed to have SOME sort of fact checking do you want? How about take all the servers we have now and double it? The amounts of data IS huge. Its like comparing the Data of what was happening upto and including WWII, and Whose side has an opinion about it. As in knowing that we were at war for 40 years Before WWII with the islands in the pacific. That the USA Blockaded Japan with the Aussie's from getting oil from the middle east, that we had a volunteer, fighting force in China, that We were fighting With China and fighting in the Philippines Even before Japan attacked the USA(?).. And for the 40 years prior, fighting Cuba, Central America, Panama, the Pacific Islands we Never claimed Any of them as part of the USA? Even after we decided that the 'America's' were to Never belong to another nation NOT part of the America's. To much in that story line, and 1/2 of it we can never know.(but there are Books about Some of it). How much do you want to edit from an Independent AI that can make a REAL opinion? I would love it. Would it Solve much of anything? Go watch an old movie, called Corban project. very interesting if you can get threw it.

    For all the fun of monitoring

    Iv pointed to Fake Adverts, and even tracked them down from FB. then reported them. And 90% of the time they deny my suggestion after, Supposedly, evaluating them. Even Suggested and reported FAKE accounts. Which isnt to hard, If the account DOES not have a true name on it, Only posts Comments to OTHER certain FB sites, and has NO posts on their Own page. Had 1 of those that was created 1 day before, and only sent posts to 1 other page, about 4. They really dont want to Kick Anything even if it IS fake.

    to many Preachers preaching

    Noticed that Many evangelicals are preaching Very Loudly and Choosing sides. Can I suggest, that once a religious group Jumps into the Political Agenda. TAX THEM. Post Tax them to the beginning of their group. Every piece of land and property. It was decided long ago, that the nation would stay Out of religion, and religion should stay out of politics. religion and politics Should be kept separate, and Personal. And never the twain shall meet. Unless you Love Israel, Muslim nations and even CHINA and N. Korea. remember 1 Size does NOT fit all. There isnt enough spandex to Make it fit.

    this all changed from WWI

    Things changed as Corps and Gov. Pushes the common persons away. They did not tell anyone anything. realization of only 8 years of Peace in the USA since it inception. There are wars in wars, covered over by other wars. But how does the Gov. pay for it? It has to be the corps. And gathering all you need and PAYING THEM BACK after. 200+ military installations around the world, over 1,000.000+ persons installed into those locations and More. materials at all those locations Must be maintained. Where in all this history was the debate, and information of What we were doing? Arnt we responsible for OUR nation? Along with that, Why arnt our representatives doing as we suggest? Welll,, they dont ask us do they? For all the time our Gov. has been around, have we had any real access tot he contracts and Backroom paper work that has passed in the Congress? THAT DIDNT COST $1000's per year to read about.
