  The Daily News

  
  

  1  Yes on 30. No on 32. You either support children or you don’t. Period.

  
  

  2   The propaganda against this thought is disgraceful. As a teacher, I have not had a raise since 2002. 

  
  

  3   It isn’t about teachers, or unions, or whatever. It’s about kids. 

  
  

  4    Like everyone else, educators are working twice as hard as ever. Layoffs aren’t imaginary. I have watched at end-of-the year meetings some of our most amazing workers being lined up and given flowers for having done impossible things, but who have been laid off because of cutbacks. 

  
  

  5   We have two counselors for 2600 students. We do have one “floater” who comes in and helps every couple of days, but who has to float from school to school.

  
  

  6   Those two counselors are doing the work of five. 

  
  

  7   Our book room has had three different people coming and going, including one admin. I have personally given up on the book room. The hours it is available are in the morning. My prep period is in the afternoon. Even when I have gotten in and given my requests, they have not happened. 

  
  

  8   It’s a crap shoot. Planning in 2012 is a nightmare. 

  
  

  9   I no longer rely on the book room. I buy my own class sets of books. I run things off, and I can’t depend on the copy machines. They have fired anyone who could assist us in that regard, and the machines now continually break down. 

  
  

  10  Just yesterday I had materials for my JFK unit cocked and ready. Some younger teacher took up two machines for the good part of a half hour. When he left, he had left paper jams in both machines. Nice guy. 

  
  

  11  Honestly. It is down to that. HE is so overworked that he didn’t have the courtesy to clear the jams. I always make sure I either clear the jams, or at least leave an apology note that I had to get to class.

  
  

  12  I wound up spending over forty dollars on making copies at Fed Ex. This cut into my grading-of-papers time. Because of larger class sizes, my paper load is another half of a class. That adds at least another hour or two per assignment. That adds up to a lot of weekend hours. A LOT of weekend hours. I do it because I want my students and parents to be up-to-date on their child’s progress. I want to be current on answering emails. I want to remain a good teacher.
  

  
  

  13 And I realize it sounds petty to some, but support staff is WAY needed. The schools are now operating on food stamps. 

  
  

  14  Yes on 30. No on 32. You either support children or you don’t. 

  
  

  15  The propaganda behind 32 is repulsive. It has the Bush family all over it. It has large corporations behind it. It has nothing to do with unions. 

  
  

  16   I will repeat what I said yesterday. We are not obligated to join a union. We have teachers who are anti-union. I have and always will be pro-union, because if you know the history of America, you know that given a chance, corporate America will screw the workers to the wall. They will cut back and cry poor mouth the same time the count their profits. The easiest way to improve profits is by cutting back workers, benefits, retirement, and by association, the security of families.

  
  

  17  And trust me, given a chance, any “efficiency expert” who is a corporate upstart will slash your job in two seconds. 

  
  

  18  Because the largest enemy to profit is people. People can be replaced. They can fire seven people and then give all their jobs to one person, and make a much larger profit. Sound familiar? The workers who are lucky enough to have jobs nowadays are working ridiculous hours and being asked to do way more than ever before.
  

  
  

  19  The middle class is being annihilated by corporate greed. Good people have lost jobs everywhere I look. 

  20  It is happening in education as well. 

  
  

  21  Education is America’s future. What don’t people get about that?

  
  

  22  Keeping good employees is essential to that end. 

  
  

  23  It is already disgraceful to see how schools have been cut back.
  

  
  

  24   Two counselors. 2600 students. People, really?
  

  
  

  25   Prop 32 is backed by the Bushes and their corrupt cronies. 

  
  

  26   America was doing fine until George W. Bush took office. 

  
  

  27   That family. I swear. You have to be a moron if you don’t see the connection between them and all that is wrong in America. 

  
  

  28   Yesterday I talked a bit about the history of their family. Prescott Bush was clearly in bed with fascists and Nazis. You don’t have to go too far to find that information. I’ve known this for years, but I depended on libraries, book stores like Kepler’s to get the information. It wasn’t always readily available. Now it is.

  
  

  29   Prescott Bush was pure corporation. I’m not making this stuff up. I didn’t get this information from some moronic website. I have researched this stuff for years. It is out there now. You can Google this information, but someone will also deal a hand of misinformation too. And some “conspiracy theorists” are made to look wacky on purpose. I always went to quieter and more studious resources, such as David Emory and Russ Baker. Crazed guys and wrestlers make real political research look bad. The story of the Bushes?

  
  

  30   It is all laid out in a book by the very brave Russ Baker. 

  
  

  31   The book, once again, is called Family of Secrets. I will repeat what I wrote yesterday. Family of Secrets was originally a book Baker wanted to write when he thought this: How did a goober like George W. Bush ever become President?

  
  

  32   Well, he was the son of George Herbert Walker Bush, who was the son of Prescott Bush.

  
  

  33   They hung around with a shady group of people who flurried around the assassination of John F. Kennedy. George Herbert Walker Bush eventually became the head of the CIA, and THEN he became President. His story of where he was when Kennedy was killed is a fairy tale. Baker does a meticulous job of showing this.
  

  
  

  34  The CIA started as the Office of Strategic Services. The OSS brought in thousands of Hitler’s people to come in and train the CIA. The guy in charge of Hitler’s spy community on the Eastern Front, Reinhard Gehlen, was set up as an emperor in the USA. We are talking Nazis here. Training our fledgling CIA.
  

  
  

  35   When I first found that out years ago, I was astonished and in disbelief. One day I walked into a supermarket and found a VHS about Gehlen, distributed BY the CIA explaining WHY they brought Hitler’s people in to train our OSS. 

  
  

  36   Google it. It’s out there. It is probably controlled; I don’t know. 

  
  

  37   Today is voting day. I just wanted you to know that anyone or any issue remotely connected with the Bush family is probably not a good thing. 

  
  

  38   To me, this election is a no-brainer. There are only two guys running. It just may be that both are controlled by these a-holes. 

  
  

  39   One guy is clearly for women’s rights, for LGBT rights, for the working class, for the end of war, and for education. Even there he is a bit shaky, but if you look across the field you see a rich fellow who is clearly clueless about multi-cultural America. 

  
  

  40  Re-think your vote. A lot of you are victims of this brainwashing that killed a President, never convicted anyone, and took over America and along with it, thought. We have been policed. Period. It is clear as a bell if you have lived a little.
  

  
  

  41  Only two guys were ever convicted of that murder, by the way. One was a seemingly mousy little guy who was probably a CIA patsy named Lee Harvey Oswald.  The other guy was a fellow named Clay Shaw, who was clearly guilty up to his ears, and who hung around with fascists. The jury found him not guilty due to a lack of evidence or . 

  
  

  42  It was hard for New Orleans DA Jim Garrison to get witnesses, because they all were either hatcheted, or perhaps shot two times in the head with an apparent suicide. Yes I say that with tongue planted firmly in cheek.
  

  
  

  43  George Herbert Walker Bush LIED about where he was on November 22, 1963. That fact is delivered on a silver platter in Family of Secrets. 

  
  

  44  I don’t get my information off the internet. I have researched this stuff for years. People who know me know that I have checked sources. Once I balance two differing sides to this stuff, I look to the sources. If two or more sources are clearly correct, I accept it as truth. If there is an accusation, I read the other person’s side. Always.
  

  45  Oswald, for example, was seen on the streets of New Orleans passing out “Fair Play for Cuba” documents. This would imply that he was pro-Castro, and therefore a communist. 

  
  

  46  He stupidly stamped the address 544 Camp Street, New Orleans on each document. 

  
  

  47  544 Camp Street in New Orleans in 1963 was a bee-haven for anti-communists, and was in the heart of the New Orleans spy community, with the DIA, the CIA and the FBI within city blocks. 

  
  

  48   The Warren Report is the official document that investigated the murder of JFK. It concluded that Lee Harvey Oswald, acting alone, was simply some nut who killed the President. Earl Warren was the guy in charge of the investigation. 

  
  

  49   The Warren Report included 544 Camp Street in it, but never took it a step further. Ummmm…if Oswald was a communist, then what was he doing hanging out in a building teeming with anti-communists, all in the heart of the New Orleans’ spy community? Are you following? Someone did a coup in America in 1963. It is blatantly obvious. Either that or you are not following this.
  

  
  

  50  And the Bush’s hung out with Allen Dulles, former head of the CIA, and who, with his brother John Foster Dulles worked for a law firm, Sullivan and Cromwell, whose major client was a company called I.G. Farben, which financed Hitler’s death camps. 

  
  

  51  Allen Dulles was a member of the Warren Commission, along with the recently deceased Arlen Specter, who, along with former President Gerald Ford, came up with the ridiculous “single bullet” theory that made Oswald look like the lone gunman. Gerald Ford became President after Richard Nixon, who helped orchestrate the Bay of Pigs invasion and then left office after the Watergate affair, which was teeming with all sorts of shady characters who popped up in the JFK assassination. 

  
  

  52  Arlen Specter went on to become the number one guy in the nation to investigate whether the government was listening in on our cell phones. His conclusion a few years ago pretty much said in essence, “Oh, maybe a little.”

  
  

  53  Moving on, Part the Second: This isn’t a rant. It is the result of years of careful study. Why people refuse to accept these facts is a mystery to me. They have been carefully researched, and are not the result of internet insanity. 

  
  

  54  America has been brainwashed. Who controls the present controls the past. 

  
  

  55  E. Howard Hunt of Watergate fame announced practically on his deathbed that he was a “bench player” in the assassination of John F. Kennedy. He confessed it when he thought he was on his deathbed. He confessed it to his son, and it is on tape.

  
  

  56  How that never made national news is again a mystery to me. Are there any real journalists left?

  
  

  57   Probably not. Rupert Murdoch has taken care of that. Rupert Murdoch controls close to eighty per cent of the news media in America, and is decidedly right wing, in the extreme. So much for your “liberal media.” All lies.
  

  
  

  58  No time to go into THAT guy, but he is clearly a sinister sort whose agenda is in lock-step with the rest of these boys. 

  
  

  59  So vote today. But think about this piece. It is the result of years of my personal investigating, and seeing all of these things clearly. 

  
  

  60  You might reconsider. You might be brainwashed. I don’t think I am, because I stayed away from it all these years. I dealt with facts. And they never became facts until I measured two sides of issues. It took years to reach the conclusions I am printing here. So take that as you list.
  

  
  

  61  Yes on 30. No on 32. You either support children or you don’t. Period.

  
  

  62  Peaceout.
