Two minutes into Earth Day and the earth shakes......Inglewood epicenter......

I post (somewhere) this every Earth Day since ????? 

There's a soul in the life of the land where we live

IT'S CLEAR

IT’S CLEAN

IT’S FRESH

AND IT’S OURS

IT DOESN’T CARE WHERE WE’VE COME FROM

IT DOESN’T ASK WHO WE ARE

JUST

DO WE LOVE

WHERE WE STAND

AT THIS TIME

WE CAN DRINK ALL ITS WATER

AND MINE ALL IT’S COAL

BUT WHEN WE MIX THE TWO TOGETHER

IT TROUBLES HER SOUL

WE CAN TEST ALL THE BOMBS

AND DESTROY EVERY LAST TREE

AND THE ONLY THING IT REALLY DOES

IS ELIMINATE YOU AND ME

THE HARM THAT WE BRING

DOESN’T BOTHER THE LAND

WE ONLY HURT OURSELVES

BY FAILING TO UNDERSTAND

THAT THERE’S A SOUL IN THE LIFE OF THE LAND WHERE WE LIVE

IT’S CLEAR

IT’S CLEAN

IT’S FRESH

AND IT’S OURS

IT DOESN’T CARE WHERE WE’VE COME FROM

IT DOESN’T ASK WHO WE ARE

JUST

DO WE LOVE

WHERE WE STAND

AT THIS TIME

WE ARE GIVEN ALL THE TREASURES

THAT ANYONE COULD USE

BUT IF WE DON’T HAVE VISION

THEN ALL WE DO IS LOSE

WE DUMP OUR PROBLEMS

IN EVERY OCEAN, RIVER AND STREAM

WE LIVE BY A CODE OF CONSUMPTION

THAT DARKENS EVERY DREAM

WE THINK THAT OIL IS OUR GOLD

BECAUSE IT MOVES MACHINES AND MAN

AND ALL IT REALLY DOES

IS REMOVE THE SPRINGS OF LAND

WE NEED THAT SPECIAL CRUDE

BECAUSE WE’VE IGNORED OTHER WAYS

AND ALL WE’VE ENDED UP WITH

IS COUGHING THROUGH A HAZE

OUR CHILDREN’S CHILDREN

WILL REALLY PAY THE PRICE

AND JUST THAT THOUGHT ALONE

DOESN’T MAKE US VERY NICE

AND WHEN THE DUST HAS FINALLY SETTLED

AND ALL THE BILLS HAVE BEEN PAID

IT IS ONLY THE SIMPLE FACT

THAT’S THERE’S ONE MISTAKE WE’VE MADE

  

WE THOUGHT WE CONTROLLED THE EARTH

BY DOMINATING THE LAND

AND IT SIMPLY COMES DOWN TO ONE THING

THAT WE JUST DIDN’T UNDERSTAND

THAT THERE’S A SOUL IN THE LIFE OF THE LAND WHERE WE LIVE

IT’S CLEAR

IT’S CLEAN

IT’S FRESH

AND IT’S OURS

IT DOESN’T CARE WHERE WE COME FROM

IT DOESN’T ASK WHO WE ARE

JUST

DO WE LOVE

WHERE WE STAND

AT THIS TIME

Have a nice Earth Day......INSIDE this time.......

FOR ADDED ENJOYMENT....go to YouTube and listen to John Doan's  FAREWELL while you read the poem one more time

CBS is FAKE NEWS??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Last week our(fact not desire) President referred to CBS as fake news while belittling one of their reporters during his daily campaign "briefing."

At the time he said it I just assumed there would be a backlash from both CBS and other media outlets, so I made no comment here or on my FB page.

It's been about 10 days since he used the fake news term referring to CBS and I have only heard a small smattering of protests from established media outlets.

We all know that using the term fake news is one of DJT's favorite expressions and he throws it around quite  freely when he wants to deflect a question or a story that questions his authority or a statement he made previously.

So what are the chances of Donald J. Trump waking up on a Sunday morning and watching the CBS show Sunday Morning?
How about when he was younger and the show was hosted by creator Charles Kuralt  and then later by Charles Osgood? 
Not only is it the most entertaining presentation of current events but it covers a cross section of American personalities and companies like no other show.

There's no way our current President has ever watched that show.

The theme music of the show makes waking up early on Sunday not only worthwhile but gets the day started with responsible knowledge, genuine laughter and of course, some nice soft tears.

Then in the evening did he not turn on 20/20 and watch the best investigative reporters in the business present us with stories and interviews with the most important minds on the planet?

Has he never heard of Edward R. Murrow or Walter Cronkite?

I know he doesn't watch Face the Nation but he probably has an intern checking it out so he can ridicule something said on the show.

IF CBS IS FAKE NEWS THEN THERE IS NO REAL NEWS....and everything is make believe.

AND WHAT HE WANTS ALL OF US TO BELIEVE IS.....
........THE ONLY NEWS YOU SHOULD WATCH AND BELIEVE IS THE NEWS HE PRESENTS ON HIS TWITTER ACCOUNT

THE GUY 
IS 
ABSOLUTELY 
INSANE!  

NARCISSISTIC ISN'T A STRONG ENOUGH WORD

By the way, if Mike Pence could blow anymore smoke up the President's ass they could start a bonfire in his fat stomach.

I've decided to only watch CBS from now on.........
.....except for ESPN and The Dodger Channel and Netflix and HBO and Showtime and Tuner Classic Movies and Seth Myers on NBC and whatever my granddaughter is watching on Nickelodeon.

Do you think anyone that works for Don or is in his immediate family watches CBS? 

Or do they refuse to watch it because that would upset him?

How deep does his control work?   

It seems to be working on 60 million +  people and I will end this by simply asking.....

HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE?

Stay safe 
Time to watch Face the Nation.

Since we are inside we might as well dance.....

Yesterday I posted on FB about always wanting to host a John Mellencamp dance party.
Only John
All night long

And a month before the party I would send certain songs to certain people
so that they could prepare
their special moment on the dance floor.

I'm saving American Fool for myself

I got some responses  but I thought I'd remind you of how the party would progress

Keep in mind the party will last until you can't dance anymore.

There will be some slow dancing from his country western album.....oh yeah and one more thing
everybody has to smoke
all night
long

Start rehearsing
NOW!

Another Conspiracy or ??????? Part one

It's not often that I mention my ex-wife on the Mind Jazz platform but since she is the most avid conspiracy theorist that I know I might as well give her full credit for introducing THIS relatively new theory.

I learned somethings and after talking to other normal (non-conspiracy type humans) people I realized that what I'm about to tell you doesn't appear to be common knowledge.  So far I've talked to 15 friends (none in person because of C19) and none of them know about the.......

MILITARY WORLD GAMES
Official title...7th CISM Military World Games

Last week when she mentioned these games I laughed and said something like..."why would the military hold war games with 100 nations."   She told me to look it up and now I'll ask you one simple question....

Did you know that from the 18th to the 27th of October there was a Military World Games held in WUHAN, China with 10,000 participants from over a 100 countries?

YES....THAT WUHAN, CHINA!!!!!!
WTF

Basically it's like an Olympics for people associated with the military.

Military Games

Now for the weird part of the story......FROM MY PERSPECTIVE....even though the further you read about the games and said conspiracy theories you will find much weirder stuff.

The weirdest part of the story is that China won 239 medals with 131 of them being GOLD.

The UNITED STATES WON 8 MEDALS......NO GOLD.

So I'm thinking that either our military has no athletes or the 172 people we sent were all from the Viet-Nam era.

Now back to the reason my ex knows about these games.....By the way when you spend all day watching Fox News and following people like Alex Jones YOU (her in particular) will have knowledge of EVERY conspiracy theory on the planet. (I'm not sure she follows Alex Jones but most conspiracy buffs do, so I took some liberty assuming that it might be true)

When one starts creating conspiracy theories about conspiracy theorists than whose to say what the limits are to exaggerating and stretching and shaping a reality that doesn't really resemble reality.

Conspiracy

So just click on the word and check out the "stuff" for yourself.

Some actual facts

GAMES HELD LATE OCTOBER 2019

COVID-19 FIRST MENTIONED DEC 8TH 2019
IN WUHAN , CHINA PROVINCE 

Just 
think 
about 
these 
simple 
facts
for 
awhile.....

or not
