Boycott Shasta Beverages Company!!! Boycott Volkswagen of America!!! Boycott VW!! Boycott Shasta!! Senseless Violence Does Get Our Attention!
September 23rd, 2010
IN these days when the decent folks of our nation are trying to end senseless violence amongst our citizenry, one has to wonder, what’s up with the simpletons at the Shasta Beverages Company, and what’s up with the simpletons at Volkswagen of America as well?
IN their firms' commercials that repeatedly air on our television, Shasta Beverages Company prefers to hit people in the head with full twelve-ounce cans of their soda?!? While Volkswagen of America, for their part, merely prefers we physically strike/hit/punch each other on the arm when we see one of their cars!?! As A Nation, Should U.S. Consumers Boycott Shasta beverages and Volkswagen vehicles as a result of their promotion of senseless violence?
I SAY: YES!!
IN these days when the decent and kind folks of our great nation are attempting to stop idiot creeps from lashing out with senseless violence toward innocents, we have two major and well-known corporations filling our airwaves with commercials which focus on nothing but senseless violence against unsuspecting and distracted innocent by-standers. Are these companies so out of touch with the realities of our nation that they think the best way to get our attention is through senseless and unprovoked violence against innocent individuals?
MAYBE ITS TIME WE GIVE THESE COMPANIES A WAKE-UP-CALL AND BOYCOTT ALL THE PRODUCTS OF THOSE FIRMS UNTIL THOSE FIRMS LEARN A BETTER WAY TO MARKET THEIR PRODUCTS OTHER THAN WITH THE WIDESPREAD DISPLAY AND PROMOTION OF SENSELESS VIOLENCE AGAINST INNOCENT BYSTANDERS!!!
FYI, I have sent this note to those firms via their websites. http://www.vw.com/home.html and: http://www.shastapop.com/
Of course, I am aware that hurling full cans of sodas through the air to strike unsuspecting human targets in the head to make them aware of the Shasta product is intended as humor, sarcasm, or even satire. And, I am aware that the suggestion of hitting an acquaintance standing nearby on the arm to make them aware of the new and different Volkswagens that happen by – as opposed to the old ‘punch buggy’ bugs/Beatles, is if of this same genre of message; be it sarcasm, satire, or humor. However, I am merely suggesting that if we truly seek to end the proliferation of senseless violence in our society – a society where it appears that many have lost all common sense regarding senseless violence, we should not accept the promotion of senseless violence by corporations seeking to market their products. Furthermore, I suggest that it is time we pass this message of ending senseless violence to marketers and corporations that don’t seem to be aware or care of the senseless violence they are promoting, even if such is done under the veil of humor.

Include Soup Kitchens in the Next Federal Stimulus Bill to Address Rampant, Widespread, and Ever-Increasing Poverty in Our Nation?
September 23rd, 2010
Given these days of endless unemployment benefits for those that were lucky enough to become unemployed at the proper time for these endless benefits, I have to ask, what about those that became unemployed before the endless benefits were approved and are not privy to such benefits? Given that we seem to be emerging as a welfare state, maybe its time we bring back the soup kitchens of the 1930’s Depression to ensure the populace and their children don’t starve – regardless of whether these folks qualify for food-stamps or not. And, what of those that are unable to walk around with their hand-out for free money from the government such as with endless unemployment benefits? Soup kitchens might be the answer. Furthermore, maybe its time we begin to ‘set in for the long haul’ and address the rampant and ever-increasing levels of poverty in our nation. To ensure that people can eat, soup kitchens seem to be an idea whose time has returned.
Clearly, entire industries and segments of the economy have gone away with no return in sight. And, with as many as 75% of the workforce unemployed or under-employed, we are blessed with a government that has become so out of touch with reality that it likely relies on organizations such as the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER). The NBER is widely reported to have claimed the ‘recession’ has ended as of sometime last year. I mean…, this bureau – though merely a nonprofit organization - seems as useless as the Federal agency that was supposed to be controlling the off-shore drilling over the recent years – the MMS (Minerals Management Service, Dept. of Interior). (See: http://engineeringandcommerce.blogspot.com/2010/06/deepwater-horizon-bp-us-mms-agency-why.html , also See: http://www.nber.org/cycles/sept2010.html)..
I understand that much of any macro-economic condition is a likely result of perception. That is, if the banks, businesses, and general public were to believe that the economic situation was better, banks would lend money to businesses again, businesses would likely hire additional employees, and many would begin spending additional monies which would likely help to end the current recession/depression. Sort of a self-fulfilling prophecy type of thing. But I think the timing for such an orchestrated smoke-screen of deception (or tepid inspiration) by any economic reporting agency or by the Federal government has long since passed.
Of course, maybe the recession has long since ended for the wealthy that surely became smart enough to follow the lead of the Federal Reserve System and put all their money in gold – surely the wealthy and The Fed have made unimaginable profits of late with the never-ending devaluation of the U.S. Dollar. And maybe the ‘recession’ is over for the corporate leaders that refuse to hire employees and prefer to work their current employees ‘to the bone’ with massive amounts of overtime to squeeze more profits – as productivity is reported to be at an all time high! (As one example see: http://blogs.wsj.com/economics/2010/09/20/san-francisco-fed-warns-job-quashing-productivity-to-remain-hot/ . ) But those wealthy folks were likely never seriously affected by the on-going ‘recession’ like the average citizen anyhow.
But with the numbers of people living below the poverty level reported to be at an all-time high and looks to ever-increase for the near-term future, maybe its time we start to rethink everything! (See: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/09/17/us/17poverty.html, and see: http://www.census.gov/hhes/www/poverty/poverty.html . ) Soup kitchens would seem to be an idea worth considering.

‘Tea Party’ Primary Election ‘Upsets’… The Typical Establishment Powers Would Seem Unable to Understand Any Underlying Election Results Message.
September 15th, 2010
In reviewing yesterday’s primary election results that handed the Republican Party nominations for several national and gubernatorial offices to reformist ‘Tea Party’ Republican candidates, the ‘mainstream’ media and political parties continue to show the arrogance and ignorance of those biased established entities which has mandated the need for such a reformist ‘Tea Party’ from the onset. Furthermore, the matter of the ‘Tea Party,’ in my opinion, has less to do with conservative or liberal political leanings than meaningful political reform in keeping with the U.S. Federal Constitution – regardless of the political leanings of any that may align themselves with, or claim to speak for, the ‘Tea Party’ group. Concerning the victorious ‘Tea Party’ candidates in yesterday’s primary elections across the nation, the typical media, the establishment Democrats, and the establishment Republicans surely can not fathom the message that is being sent by the voters that supported the election ‘upsets’ as the establishment forces prefer to not acknowledge any need for real change and desire no real change as they, themselves, orchestrated the current system which would seem to support the self-serving need for these establishment forces to maintain the dysfunctional system.
I don’t necessarily blog to support the ‘Tea Party’ or its candidates. I don’t necessarily blog to say that I support the just demands for required reform in our nation’s government(s). I merely blog to say that the typical establishment entities (such as much of the nation’s media as well as the Democratic and Republican parties) seem so blinded by ignorance and arrogance and appear so far removed from the average American that those entities - as they currently exist - are unlikely to ever understand any message sent by the average American. These stated establishment forces can not understand any message for reform from the populace because the establishment forces surely would prefer that the dysfunctional system remain as it is currently – as it was these same establishment forces that engineered this faulty and often morally corrupt system as it now stands which supports those same establishment forces currently in positions of power. As such, to support their ends, clearly the typical establishment forces seem to prefer to demonize the potentially reformist ‘Tea Party’ at nearly every opportunity.
As Examples:
1. The mainstream media and press of the ‘establishment’ seem, in general, to display that voting for a ‘Tea Party’ candidate would be a likely waste of a vote and would hurt the conservative Republicans’ chances of gaining seats in the legislature (per Bob Sheiffer and others on the CBS “Evening News” this evening). It would seem that the monopolistic media sources desire no significant change as they are currently ‘fat and happy’ and ‘on top of the food chain.’
2. The Democratic Party seems, in general, to display the ‘Tea Party’ folks to be radical conservatives that are too radical and too conservative for the mainstream voters to support in the upcoming general election. The Democrats also seem to desire to spread fear of the reformists with the hopes that such a fear will entice voters in the general election to support the mainstream candidates – that is, to support Democratic candidates that likely reflect the typical ideals of the ‘establishment’ that allowed our country to evolve to it’s current economic and political mess. As an example, Democratic Party strategist Ms. Task (?) on CBS’s “The Early Show” this morning spoke of ‘Tea Party’ folks as likely buffoons that ‘…seek to end Civil Rights legislation…’
3. The Republican Party seems to prefer, in general, to display these ‘Tea Party’ folks as not viable candidates much for the same apparent reasoning of the Democratic Party. Some Republican Party chapters of our nation were reported to be so disgusted with the election of ‘Tea Partiers’ that the respective state Republican Parties were apparently considering withholding election funds from these ‘Tea Party’ Republican candidates.
Regardless of any glimmers of truth that may or may not be reflected in the viewpoints of the typical mainstream media or by either of the mainstream political parties (viewpoints as surmised directly above), these establishment entities are likely to be totally out-of-touch with the current American voters and therefore unable to understand what yesterday’s election ‘upsets’ represent and what sentiment is likely being voiced by these voters who have been afforded the opportunity to express themselves in such a regard.
As the establishment groups can not fathom the message, for whatever the reason, one should probably disregard the commentary of these reviewers concerning the election ‘upsets’ from yesterday that would try to display the ‘Tea Party’ candidates in any negative fashion – irrespective of whether such a characterization is warranted or not. This is because the forces of the establishment powers (the media, the Democrats, and the Republicans) appear as currently blinded and overly constrained by their typical arrogance and ignorance which has allowed these establishment groups to support the near-ending of the American dream and the American way of life as such is represented by our current dysfunctional governments across the land – should these groups be aware of their erroneous paradigms or not.
I would suspect that these establishment entities will be in store for a rude awakening come the general election in November as well as future elections in years to come. I would hope these establishment forces that allowed for the continued decay of our American society and way of life while concurrently lining their allies’ pockets with the American tax-payers’ money will themselves be on the endangered political species list.

P.S. In reality, as displayed by the ‘Tea Party’ upset election results, there are several possible messages being sent by these voters on many different fronts. While the list below is not all inclusive, in general and per my opinion, THE MESSAGE(s) FROM YESTERDAY’S ‘TEA PARTY’ ELECTION UPSETS INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING:
1. The message includes: OUST THE TYPICAL POLITICIANS WHO HAVE ENJOYED THE FRUITS OF THEIR POWER AND ELECTED STATURE WHILE THESE SAME POLITICIANS CONCURRENTLY STOOD BY AND WATCHED OUR NATION’S JOBS AND CORE STRENGTHS (of manufacturing) BEING SHIPPED OFF-SHORE TO COUNTRIES THAT NEVER RESPECTED OR ALLIED WITH OUR NATION,
2. The message includes: OUST THE TYPICAL POLITICIANS WHO HAVE SUPPORTED AND ALLOWED FOR THE BANKERS AND WALL-STREETERS TO RUN RAMPANT AND TO STEAL AS MUCH AS THOSE INSTITUTIONS COULD GRAP AND THEN REIMBURSED ANY LOSSES OF THE FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS WHEN THE THEIVERY WENT AMUCK– ALL AT THE EXPENSE OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE,
3. The message includes: GET RID OF THE POLITICIANS WHO HAVE FOSTERED/NURTURED LEGISLATION WHICH ALLOWED FOR THE CONTINUED PROSTITUTION OF OUR AMERICAN BIRTHRIGHT AND AMERICAN WAY OF LIFE WHENEVER SUCH PROSTITUTION OF OUR BIRTHRIGHT BENEFITED ANY CORPORATE OR FINANCIAL ENTITY,
4. The message includes: GET RID OF THE POLITICIANS WHO HAVE ALLOWED FOR THE DOMINATION OF GOVERNMENTS ACROSS THE LAND THAT RARELY SEEM TO CARE OF THE CONERNS OF THE AMERICAN TAXPAYER – AND OFTEN SEEM TO CARE LITTLE ABOUT COMMON-SENSE,
5. The message includes: OUST THE POLITICIANS WHO WOULD SUPPORT A SYSTEM THAT REWARDS THE WASTING OF TAX-DOLLARS AND FAULTS FISCAL AND FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY,
And,
6. The message includes: GET RID OF THE TYPICAL POLITICIANS WHO HAVE ALLOWED FOR THE AMERICAN PUBLIC TO BE DENIED SUBSTANTIVE RIGHTS, JUDICIAL REVIEW, AND JUSTICE FROM THE VERY SAME JUSTICE SYSTEMS THAT WERE ORIGINALLY ENACTED TO PROTECT THE WELL-BEING OF THE NATION AND ITS POPULACE AND HAVE SINCE DEGRADED TO SYSTEMS THAT SEEM TO PREFER FAVORITISM.
PSS. To be clear, I support the U.S. Constitution. See: http://adamvernontrotter.blogspot.com/2009/08/it-is-relic-of-nations-beginning.html

Ground-Zero NYC is a cemetery!
September 9th, 2010
With all due respect to the construction workers at the site, the Ground-Zero site of the former World Trade Center Complex is a cemetery!! Any firm that opens an office there would seem to be foolish! Anyone that would work on a daily basis in any replacement buildings in such a cemetery would seem a bigger fool! This matter is another example of the greed showed by corporate America. The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, the owner of the site, can’t simply just take a loss (after any insurance settlements, of course) and make the place a memorial park?

What are the U.S. Labor Unions Doing During this “Great Depression” of the New Millennium?
September 7th, 2010
WITH the passage of the recent Labor Day Holiday and in this time of massive unemployment and during the midst of “The Great Depression” of the new millennium, one has to ask: What are the labor unions doing to get the unemployed back to work? Recently, one could hear the local union president for a nearby county local chapter of a major union state on the radio of how upwards of two-hundred thousand (200,000) of his union members had no work. On the other hand, it is being widely reported that national productivity is at an all-time high; meaning that employed workers are being heavily over-worked so that no new hires are necessary for any given company. So, it would seem about time that the question is posed as to what are the labor unions and their leadership currently doing to help the populace?
It would appear that modern-day union leadership has become like the typical politician whereby they seem only to care about themselves as they are ‘fat and happy’ on the ‘top of the food chain.’ In fact, much of the labor union leadership appear to be doing less than the average politician to right the nation’s current situation other than to vehemently back the campaigns of one politician or another. While many of the union rank and file, however, appear to have been left behind and those over-worked and under-employed workers may often have no union representation at all under which to voice their concerns that more employees or better wages are likely to be necessary.
As the labor unions may well have provided much of the impetus for corporate America to move many of our jobs off-shore, the modern union leadership appears content to allow unemployed workers to remain destitute and the over-worked workers to remain fatigued and likely unrepresented. One must wonder, is much of the typical union leadership now in the ‘back pocket’ of corporate America and beholden to listless politicians and is the union leadership content to make minimal efforts to help the workers of the nation? If so, maybe its time for new labor unions or at least new leadership that cares for the well-being of the workers of the nation.
Adam Trotter / AVT
After thought (Sept. 10th, 2010): I have since been possibly enlightened. It seems that latest proposed stimulus bill which states a goal of rebuilding infrastructure is to reward the labor unions for their support of the Obama administration. Well, good for them (if the bill is enacted). Hopefully that money will make it to employ workers.

While many of the union rank and file, however, appear to have been left behind and those over-worked and under-employed workers may often have no union representation at all under which to voice their concerns that more employees or better wages are likely to be necessary.
As the labor unions may well have provided much of the impetus for corporate America to move many of our jobs off-shore, the modern union leadership appears content to allow unemployed workers to remain destitute and the over-worked workers to remain fatigued and likely unrepresented. One must wonder, is much of the typical union leadership now in the ‘back pocket’ of corporate America and beholden to listless politicians and is the union leadership content to make minimal efforts to help the workers of the nation? If so, maybe its time for new labor unions or at least new leadership that cares for the well-being of the workers of the nation.

After thought (Sept. 10th, 2010): I have since been possibly enlightened. It seems that latest proposed stimulus bill which states a goal of rebuilding infrastructure is to reward the labor unions for their support of the Obama administration. Well, good for them (if the bill is enacted). Hopefully that money will make it to employ workers.

Apollo 11 Videos: Lunar Landing and Lunar ‘First Steps’
September 5th, 2010
Finally, after the occasional internet searches over the last several years, I have at last found the Apollo 11 lunar landing videos. (http://history.nasa.gov/alsj/a11/video11.html#Step ) Believe it or not, these clips were nearly impossible for me to find on the web until now. Thanks for that, NASA.
Now, my wish list from NASA would be fulfilled if I could acquire the following items from that Agency:
1. Skylab II wake-up call video shown live on national U.S. television which, as far as I know, was the last live television feed showing the depths of outer-space. In this video, as I recall, one can see an apparent spherical 'craft' in near outer-space and this ‘craft’ was not part of the Skylab mission – this was also shown in a video-clip [infra-red exposure still photo] which was always shown on the beginning trailer of the early episodes of the television show “The X Files.” This "X-Files" photo/video-clip is another clip which historically has been surprisingly difficult for me to find; which is surprising because the video-clip was shown on countless television channels for years on-end and yet appears as another clip that seems to have since disappeared.
And,
2. If NASA would show us true live video feeds of the recesses of outer space. (See: http://adamvernontrotter.blogspot.com/2008/05/question-to-nasa-regarding-live-video.html )

Want a Stimulus Bill that May be Attractive to All? Pay-Off the Nation’s Student Loan Debts!!!
September 2nd, 2010
With any upcoming U.S. Federal stimulus funds, why not pay-off the citizenry’s student loan debts and give the up-and-coming generation a fighting chance to get ahead in the modern era of decreased labor demand, minimal American manufacturing, a decreased dollar value, inflated educational costs, inflated prices, and stolen birthrights?
…And such a plan seems like a ‘win – win’ situation….
…‘cause…
All the stimulus monies would go directly to the banks and financial institutions, just as previous stimulus monies have essentially been awarded up to this point in time…..which, of course, will keep the banks very happy and such would likely please the politicians that seem to care foremost for the banks and secondarily for their constituents. Additionally, not having to pay the massive student loans would free up money for recent graduates; money with which they may likely buy property and bolster the currently devastated real estate markets.

PS. If the Federal government and The Fed can not figure out simple things like this, they should be aware that I am available for consulting. :)
