Wednesday Murrieta Constitution Class Closed for the Summer
 |
I appreciate those of you who have participated in the Murrieta/Temecula Valley Constitution Class on Wednesday Evenings. The class will be discontinued for now, there will be no classes the remainder of the summer. The goal is to establish a new location more suitable to our needs, and to promote the class in the hopes of attracting at least a dozen people to the class. I will keep you posted as a new class develops. There is a potential for a Monday Morning Class (around 11am) off California Oaks in the near future, due to a group wanting a class there. If you can make it to a daytime class, that may be an alternative for you. Also, be aware that there are many other classes around Southern California you may wish to attend as an alternative.
Monday, 6pm, Chino Hills, Archibald's Restaurant, 15421 Fairfield Ranch Rd. ($10)

Take A Chance...Watch "For the Republic" with Alan and Doug...time to get conspiratorial
 |
Alan Myers discovered a book, and he's been reading it, and his response to me is, "Everything in this book is false, laced with just a few nuggets of truth." After our opening segment on wackadoodle news, we will cover the national sovereignty, state national, corporation theory, economic nuttiness of The Zero Percent by Du'Vaul Dey. Should make for a two-hour program that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
For the Republic, Sunday Night, 5pm Pacific.
For the Republic
Sunday 5:00 - 7:00 PM
Hosts: Alan Myers and Douglas V. Gibbs "Mr. Constitution"
Stossel: Gloria Alvarez Fights Socialism
Not a fan of what she wants to legalize later in the video, but her stance on the dangers of socialism are pretty much right on...

Huntington Beach exits OCPA
From a friend of mine.....
A WIN!
Huntington Beach, California Withdraws from Orange County Power Authority (OCPA)
April 16th 2023
OPCA is a CCA, which stands for Community Choice Aggregation. It is a corrupt scheme to have a quasi government entity buy
renewable energy so the world can be saved from climate change.
Huntington Beach left because of:
1. lack of transparency -- unwillingness to show its CAISO Settlement Statements to member representative (these statements identify the actual volume of brown power in OCPA's energy portfolio, proving how green OCPA really is);
2. escalating costs that OCPA continued to ratchet up to JUST below Southern California Edison prices (even though majority of OCPA's energy contracts were locked in place);
3. inability to secure "resource adequacy" (RA). RA is gas-fired energy that stabilizes the electric grid. OCPA had twice claimed it would "meet or exceed" this statutory mandate in filings with utility commission;
4. inability secure mandated Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) contract volumes (65% of renewable energy contracts must be 10-years or longer) after twice claiming it would "meet or exceed" this statutory mandate in filings with utility commission;
5. hiring a CEO with zero experience – at the first board meeting the fellow asked what a "KWh" was – a kilowatt-hour is the basic energy billing metric on consumer bills;
6. operations that triggered 4 audits in less than a year of operation; etc.
OCPA is controlled by Pacific Energy Advisors which also controls these community choice energy agencies and, of note, 3CE, San Diego Community Power, and MCE.
Action item
Tell your city to NOT join any CCA
IF your city is already in a CCA,demand that your Community Choice Energy agency publicly release copies of (i) CAISO Settlement Statements,
(ii) copies of energy re-sale invoices, and (iii) copies of energy procurement invoices. Redact prices. This will allow you to determine "renewable"
energy content of your agency. Otherwise — are you buying a black box?

My Stormy Journey and a Soviet Warship

Author, Speaker, Instructor, Radio Host
I have endeavored my whole life to do the right thing. Some friends have told me that I am too honest, to a fault. Too honest? That is actually kind of confusing, but I suppose what they are trying to tell me is that some things are better left unsaid. Those same friends have also encouraged me to sometimes step out of my comfort zone, a challenge I have accepted only a few times during my life. Turbulence is a typicality in my life, why would I invite more? Risk-taking is typically outside my nature. I do tend to leap without looking in some matters, but even then they are usually calculated risks. Throwing all caution to the wind is not typically my modus operandi. I am not an adrenalin junky, I suppose you could say, but trust me, my adrenalin and I have had moments together more often than sometimes I'd like to admit.
My letterman's jacket in high school had a descending dove on the back. I hung out, usually, with the right crowd, and I was generally liked by everyone except the few bullies that liked nobody, anyway. Then, I met a girl.
This tale is not about the girl, but she does play a part. It was largely because of her that I wound up serving in the United States Navy. To be honest, in high school when I wasn't talking to college recruiters, I was talking to the United States Marine Corps recruiter. The plan was originally to be a Marine, like dad.
This is also not a tale about my whole life, just one stormy part of it. The girl, the Navy, and a few other things, led me to a moment of adrenalin that was a small part in my journey to become who I am, and to understand that sometimes we have to stand firm on the political battlefield, and stick to your convictions or determinations as the going gets tough.
I am not sure if it was love, or the fact that our relationship ticked everybody off, but the girl and I hit it off quite well. My parents forbade me from seeing her at one point, and her parents did the same. Friends told us there was something wrong with our fit, but they loved us as friends so they supported us. We got home too late from dates, and we literally did whatever we wanted without any concern about the consequences. One of those consequences was born April 1, 1985.
Despite having colleges knocking on the door and hoping I would join their athletic programs, I opted for enlisting in the United States Navy, and I went to boot camp on the other side of the country (from my home in Southern California to Orlando, Florida) about a week after I said the infamous words, "I do."
Some feelings and thoughts had cooled down, others were fired up. One thing I knew for sure was that I was no longer the stupid little boy I was when I enlisted. Now, I was a stupid young man who had no clue about anything. We were in a Cold War, I knew that, and I was ready to serve my country...even though I was scared out of my mind at the prospect of serving aboard a Guided Missile Destroyer.
The communist vessel had pulled within thirteen miles of our position, and was following us. At the beginning of the drill the mess decks guy had dumped trash, and the Soviets scooped all of it up, likely searching in the hopes that something classified got dropped into the trash. Typically, anything that is not for the eyes of anyone on the outside is burned when it is discarded, but accidents, or communist spies on board, is always a possibility.
So much for calculated risks.
I became a crewmember on the USS Chandler, DDG-996 in San Diego on a mild winter's night. My father-in-law and my wife's two youngest sisters were there to deliver me to my new military home. My seabag was at its heaviest, and once on board it turned out that my bunk was at the top of a four-bunk stack. In Deck Department berthing they stacked them high. My place to sleep was also right under a vent. Oh, Joy! I was not a member of the Deck Department, but Operations had no room for me, and being the low guy on the ranking scale, I had to go wherever they told me to. So, I was assigned to hang out with the Deck Apes, the Navy's version of Grunts.
New recruits have to do mess deck stuff first, which I did, then I began to work in the office performing my rate. But, the good ol' Deck Department was short in their number of sailors needed to perform all tasks, so I also performed underway watches. Four hours on, four hours off; you were guaranteed to never sleep longer than four hours at a time, and usually the only meal I had a chance to grab was breakfast, which out to sea is usually powdered eggs, over-cooked potatoes, dry toast, powdered milk or bug juice, and an enjoyable meal holding your tray with one hand, and your glass with the other, stealing a bite in between rolls on the ocean. It was fun and frightening at the same time, with the outside parts of the underway watch cold, wet, pitch black dark, and miserable in the middle of the night, or just as cold and wet but at least you could see your hands during the day. The cool part was steering the ship as helmsman. On the bridge you were in the heat of the action, watching the seas rolling ahead, water sometimes slamming into the front of the ship, and spray washing across the glass, as your hands held firmly on the helm (or at the ready for the speed lever if you were leehelmsman) spinning the wheel to the proper coordinates if the Officer of the Watch shouted it out to you. You, then, repeated the order with an "aye aye" at the end, and then repeated it again once the course was set in. If you were at the stat board then your fingers firmly grasped a wax pencil, ready to update the board if a report came in from the watchmen about the position of bogies. That was the memory of a lifetime. I was also on the fire team (pretty much everyone did that except the Supply Department or the "firemen" down below who handled the mechanic workings of the engine room), was the "phone-talker" on the flight deck during landing operations, and I became qualified for a number of other things that are not pertinent to this tale. What is pertinent is my general quarters station.
In the Navy general quarters means "all hands man your battle stations." If there are Marines onboard, for them it means, "get out of the way, and jump in your rack." The alarm goes off, the Boatswain's Mate of the Watch tells you a few things, and off you go, no matter where you are, or what you are doing. My station was in Damage Control Central. I was the note taker and phone operator for the Damage Control Officer. Reports of any damage came to me, I would notate the damage on a special form with symbols (rather than longhand) and then hand it to the Damage Control Officer. He would then assess the situation, make a decision on what the repair lockers needed to do to resolve the situation, and then hand me back the paper I gave him with more symbols, of which I translated into language and then I told the repair lockers what to do. They would advise me of status, and I would send the DC Officer's responses. In a sense I was the liaison between the Damage Control Officer and the crews who performed repairs, as the battle raged. New damage was constant. The idea was to repair damage faster, or at least as fast, as we took hits so that we could stay in the fight as long as possible.
The majority of the time my position with the Damage Control Officer was filled by my butt in the seat during drills, but twice, it was not a drill.
The Soviet Union was still around back then. I was on the Chandler in 1985. The Pacific Ocean is a vast body of water, but every once in a while Soviet ships and American ships danced an interesting tango out there on the water. When general quarters is called, and then it is accompanied with the words, "This is not a drill," your heart leaps into your throat, and you feel butterflies more violent than the ones you get when you are in love.

| Sailor of the Month, a matter of weeks before I got my Crow (became a Petty Officer) |
My heart was thumping a million miles a minute. This is what being in the military was all about. All of the training, all of the drills, all of the anticipation had been for moments like this. The Gunner's Mates had our guns, torpedoes, and missiles ready to go. The specialists on the bridge had been joined by the Captain who usually left bridge duties to the Officer of the Watch. Every sailor on the Chandler, regardless of their rate, was at their battle station and was ready to act the moment the order was given. The word "tension" does not convey the full gravity of the situation, nor how rapidly my adrenalin was racing through my body. The Damage Control Officer, while always all business, no B.S., was rocking a stern face like I'd never seen on his mug before. Condition YOKE was set throughout the ship (which means all of the hatches were shut), and we were operating with dead silence.
I was receiving reports regarding the position of the enemy, and conveyed it to the DC Officer. He looked at the sheet of paper I handed him, and simply nodded his head with a single dip and rise of his chin and a pursing of his lips. I dared not open my mouth, ask a question, or even move a hair on my head. For hours we rocked in the ocean, half speed, like that. The waves maybe had us at a fifteen degree roll, not much, to be honest. Once we were hitting rolls beyond forty degrees in the North Pacific, and we were practically walking on the bulkheads. Now that, my friends, was a wild ride for the ages.
Then, without warning, the Soviets changed direction, headed away from us, and the sweat on our brows finally dropped down our faces as if finally given permission to move. My dungaree shirt was drenched, and the Damage Control Officer was grinning. "That one was intense. Those boys did not want to be shaken off."
I just smiled back, even though I was feeling like I wanted to simply throw out the largest sigh in history.
A petty officer walked in after he opened the hatch as condition XRAY was carried out throughout the ship. "Someone puked on the mess decks," he laughed. "Damn boots can't handle a little drama."
We all laughed even though I was only about six months beyond the guy who had lost his lunch. But, by then I was practically an old salt. At the time I didn't realize my life was about to turn upside down with a head injury that would lead to hospital time, limited duty, and then ultimately full duty on an entirely different kind of ship; a Tank Landing Ship (LST).
Twice we dealt with the Soviets, which was tense, each time. On the Peoria, LST-1183, however, dealing with Iranians years later became a whole different ballgame, but that's a tale for another time.

- The List of 45 Communist Goals to Overthrow the United States, Part II https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/naked-communist45-goals-destroy-united-states-america-waghelstein/ ... We go through it line by line.
“The Naked Communist” 45 goals, by Cleon Skousen, 1958.
On Jan. 10, 1963, Congressman Albert S. Herlong Jr. of Florida read a list of 45 Communist goals into the Congressional Record. The list was derived from researcher, and former FBI Agent, Cleon Skousen’s book “The Naked Communist.” These principles are well worth revisiting today in order to gain insights into the thinking and strategies of much of our so-called liberal elite:
1. U.S. should accept coexistence as the only alternative to atomic war.
2. U.S. should be willing to capitulate in preference to engaging in atomic war. [Note: These encapsulate the Kennan Doctrine, which advocated for the "containment" of communism. Establishment figures supporting the amoral containment policy at least implicitly worked with the communists in scaring the wits out of the American people concerning atomic war. President Ronald Reagan undid the doctrine when he took an aggressive stand against the Evil Empire by backing freedom fighters from around the world that were struggling against the left-wing communist jackboot. As a result, the Soviet Union and its satellites imploded, a considerable and unexpected setback to the international communist edifice.]
3. Develop the illusion that total disarmament by the U.S. would be a demonstration of "moral strength." [Note: The nuclear freeze advocates supported a freeze on American nuclear development only. Rarely were Soviet nukes or those of other nations mentioned in their self-righteous tirades. The same advocates now call for reducing American military might, claiming that there is something immoral about America preserving its military pre-eminence in the world.]
4. Permit free trade between all nations regardless of Communist affiliation and regardless of whether or not items could be used for war. [Note: Today, there are calls to end the embargo on the slave island of Cuba, there were complaints about the embargo against Iraq, and the U.S., not Saddam Hussein, was blamed for the suffering of the Iraqi people. Would they have advocated for free trade with Hitler and his National Socialist regime?]
5. Extend long-term loans to Russia and Soviet satellites.
6. Provide American aid to all nations regardless of Communist domination. [Note: Such aid and trade over decades contributed greatly to the left-wing communist liquidation of over 100 million people worldwide, according to the well-documented "Black Book of Communism." This aid and trade marks a shameful chapter in American history. Without the aid and trade, the left-wing international communist behemoth would have imploded on its own rot a lot sooner and umpteen millions would have been saved from poverty, misery, starvation and death.]
7. Grant recognition of Red China and admission of Red China to the U.N. [Note: Not only did President Nixon fulfill this goal but he also betrayed America’s allies in Nicaragua, El Salvador, Iran, Afghanistan, Angola and elsewhere.]
8. Set up East and West Germany as separate states in spite of Khrushchev's promise in 1955 to settle the Germany question by free elections under supervision of the U.N.
9. Prolong the conferences to ban atomic tests because the U.S. has agreed to suspend tests as long as negotiations are in progress.
10. Allow all Soviet satellites individual representation in the U.N.
11. Promote the U.N. as the only hope for mankind. If its charter is rewritten, demand that it be set up as a one-world government with its own independent armed forces. [Note: There are still American intellectuals, and elected members of Congress, who dream of an eventual one world government and who view the U.N., founded by communists such as Alger Hiss, the first secretary-general, as the instrument to bring this about. World government was also the dream of Adolf Hitler and J.V. Stalin. World government was the dream of Osama bin Laden and the 9/11 hijackers.]
12. Resist any attempt to outlaw the Communist Party. [Note: While the idea of banning any political party runs contrary to notions of American freedom and liberty, notions that are the exact opposite of those held by the left-wing communists themselves, nevertheless these goals sought to undermine the constitutional obligation of Congress to investigate subversion. The weakening of our government’s ability to conduct such investigations led to the attack of 9/11.]
13. Do away with loyalty oaths. [Note: It is entirely proper and appropriate for our government to expect employees, paid by the American taxpayer, to take an oath of loyalty.]
14. Continue giving Russia access to the U.S. Patent Office.
15. Capture one or both of the political parties in the U.S. [Note: In his book, "Reagan’s War," Peter Schweizer demonstrates the astonishing degree to which communists and communist sympathizers have penetrated the Democratic Party. In his book, Schweizer writes about the presidential election of 1979.]
16. Use technical decisions of the courts to weaken basic American institutions, by claiming their activities violate civil rights. [Note: This strategy goes back to the founding of the American Civil Liberties Union by Fabian Socialists Roger Baldwin and John Dewey and Communists William Z. Foster and Elizabeth Gurley Flynn among others.]
17. Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for Socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers associations. Put the party line in textbooks.
18. Gain control of all student newspapers.
19. Use student riots to foment public protests against programs or organizations that are under Communist attack. [Note: The success of these goals, from a communist perspective, is obvious. Is there any doubt this is so?]
20. Infiltrate the press. Get control of book review assignments, editorial writing, policy-making positions.
21. Gain control of key positions in radio, TV & motion pictures.
22. Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all form of artistic expression. An American Communist cell was told to "eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings," substituting shapeless, awkward and meaningless forms.
23. Control art critics and directors of art museums. " Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art."
24. Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them "censorship" and a violation of free speech and free press.
25. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio and TV. [Note: This is the Gramscian agenda of the "long march through the institutions" spelled out explicitly: gradual takeover of the "means of communication" and then using those vehicles to debauch the culture and weaken the will of the individual to resist.]
26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as "normal, natural and healthy." [Note: Today those few who still have the courage to advocate public morality are denounced and viciously attacked. Most Americans are entirely unwitting regarding the motives behind this agenda.]
27. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with "social" religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity, which does not need a "religious crutch." [Note: This has been largely accomplished through the communist infiltration of the National Council of Churches, Conservative and Reform Judaism, and the Catholic seminaries.]
28. Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the grounds that it violates the principle of "separation of church and state"
29. Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old fashioned, out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to cooperation between nations on a worldwide basis.
30. Discredit the American founding fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the "common man."
31. Belittle all forms of American culture and discourage the teaching of American history on the ground that it was only a minor part of "the big picture." Give more emphasis to Russian history since the Communists took over. [Note: Obliterating the American past, with its antecedents in principles of freedom, liberty and private ownership is a major goal of the communists then and now.]
32. Support any socialist movement to give centralized control over any part of the culture – education, social agencies, welfare programs, mental health clinics, etc.
33. Eliminate all laws or procedures which interfere with the operation of the Communist apparatus.
34. Eliminate the House Committee on Un-American Activities.
35. Discredit and eventually dismantle the FBI.
36. Infiltrate and gain control of more unions.
37. Infiltrate and gain control of big business.
38. Transfer some of the powers of arrest from the police to social agencies. Treat all behavioral problems as psychiatric disorders which no one but psychiatrists can understand or treat. [Note: The Soviets used to send "social misfits" and those deemed politically incorrect to massive mental institutions called gulags. The Red Chinese call them lao gai. Hitler called them concentration camps.]
39. Dominate the psychiatric profession and use mental health laws as a means of gaining coercive control over those who oppose communist goals. [Note: Psychiatry remains a bulwark of the communist agenda of fostering self-criticism and docility.]
40. Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce. [Note: Done! The sovereign family is the single most powerful obstacle to authoritarian control.]
41. Emphasize the need to raise children away from the negative influence of parents. Attribute prejudices, mental blocks and retarding of children to suppressive influence of parents. [Note: Outcome-based education, values clarification or whatever they’re calling it this year.]
42. Create the impression that violence and insurrection are legitimate aspects of the American tradition; that students and special interest groups should rise up and make a "united force" to solve economic, political or social problems. [Note: This describes the dialectical fostering of group consciousness and conflict, which furthers the interests of authoritarianism.]
43. Overthrow all colonial governments before native populations are ready for self-government.
44. Internationalize the Panama Canal.
45. Repeal the Connally Reservation so the U.S. cannot prevent the World Court from seizing jurisdiction over domestic problems. Give the World Court jurisdiction over domestic problems. Give the World Court jurisdiction over nations and individuals alike.
