Wow, just watched the daily
briefing of the OXY-MORON COVID-Covfefeavirus “Task Force” from the White
Animal House. Appears the prerequisite for maintaining a lip lock on Donald
Trump’s “anal hole” as a member in good standing this team of “cover-up con
artist” perverts, it is not only knowing how to “lie”, but “lie” exponentially.
Snake oil it was, throwing up a bunch of “what if” charts most
Americans cannot understand, talking about a “predictive model” and “confidence”
another facet this deceit too confusing for most Americans, all as a means to
pull the wool another day - to cover for a “Fucking Moron” that had more important
things to do in delaying a response to this sea to shining sea Armageddon, like
putting this “pandemic” on pause while giving Rush Limbaugh the “Femdom Freedom
Award” so that FOX could then say the COVID was a Democratic “Hoax”. The bottom
line, I used “models” my entire career on the Trans-Alaska-Pipeline, and if I
gave excuses like the “Fauci & Birx Works”, well there would have been oil
all over the ground along that 800-mile pipeline and no “Leak Detection” alarms.
But it was again entertaining. And I had an apple for breakfast and with
laughter still the best medicine, what Doctor Bornstein Bears prescribed and I feel
just fine for another day in Whoopee Cushion paradise.

The Real COVID-19 Hoaxatosis
Loose lips sink ships? In
late February while Xi’s people were dropping dead like fruit flies, Donald
Trump referred to the COVID as the Democrats “New Hoax”. We know he has a tough
time keeping his trap shut, but was it a subliminal like message rehearsing the
fact that the real “hoax” was his plan all along? As an attempt to paint an
ugly picture in “hoax” and when it is all said and done with, use the glamor of
a “not so bad” situation after all due his “Commander-in-Brilliance” to rally-ho
his re-election - 4 more years? Look, from my perspective “the sky is NOT falling”,
at least not from a mathematical model preoccupation. See, just using the word “model”
scares the people’s Dickens, as it redeems itself quantified as that little
understood Hocus Pocus stuff augmented by a Phineas J. Whoopee 3D Magical
Bulletin Board concept. OK, Trump smiled when he heard that “model” thing, not
because of its “linear matrix zero-root summation” in calculus, he thought it
meant the skimpy wardrobe romancing the bone. Now the “predictive model” I used
to assess this Armageddon and “Donald Trump meets the Boogeyman” epicenter episode
- my Newtonian answering machine designed by “Big Alaskan Oil” wherein
development money not a problem and using the brightest minds available - it shows
that this COVID will suffer a “mean” of only 12000 victims, with available data
to date to digest in modal modeling. When at the same time the “Trump” experts started
stating - just yesterday - predicting 100000 to 200000 deaths sea to shining sea?
And that daunting warning was the day any viable modeling found its incipient cavitation reckoning trigger point,
that based on the data available from “worldwide” sources. In reassurance that this
pandemic may not be as bad as any other “viral shedding” spreading virus that has over
time invaded “Tranquility”. Hope my math is right, it relies on that data being
upfront correct! And by the Trump Team painting an ugly picture in “hoax” this
doom and gloom scenario, when it knows so it is “fabricated”, well when the fog
lifts take credit for doing nothing but use that nothing as the “ace in the
hole” ticket to ride out another term as the Moron-in-Chief. That is what is coming
from the White House briefings, as the entire “Covfefeavirus Task Force” is
confined to kissing Trump’s ass and at the same time hoodwink “hoaxing” the
vulnerable American citizens. See, originally Trump tried to downplay this
event, based on that “predictive modeling” at the time very limited data - as
models work on the concept of “garbage in garbage out”. But even though not a whole lot of data
collected by this “pandemic” during the early phase stage, we have a wealth of
contributory data from past experiences that can complement lack of data - used
to “weight” the lack of input data and still provide some semblance of a “close
call” output. So it appears that Trump’s re-election staff told him to shut-up,
in a planned attempt to use the “doom & gloom” to his “faceless
elector” advantage - the about face turn his demeanor. Look, Trump’s game plan
is a Vince McMahon WWE reality, all “fake” used to fool the lemming population.
And this is what “We the People” are up against. If this is “Presidential”,
then I have some re-sanitized toilet paper if you run low, it stinks but 1-ply
sound. But herein is the take on the “fake”. It is Fascism on its face on the
move and all of Trump’s soldiers that are part of this “hoodwinking”, please
proceed to the front of the line, as the “gallows” are OPEN for business.
Peyronies-in-Chief
So, I have been staying
home, taking Donald Trump’s advice during this “pandemic”. But with “no
particular place to go”, it means “DQ” couch potatoe time and the only exercise
is tipping the beer can and fine tuning my hand motor skills with the remote. And
it appears that the Trump Team has taken over the commercial time, a good idea
to "state sponsor" re-broadcasting the merits of what and what not to do during such trying times.
But what the hell for all the “Peyronies Disease” adds? Right up the Trump
Administration alley! Damn, where's the limp dick commercials, as that Mike Pompus ass is showing off his diarrhea of the mouth which means time for the "Kill Your TV" button!

Dear Donald Trump
Dear Donald, tonight after your "wetdream" bedtime story by Kellyscam, please take an overdose of hydroxychloroquine
you OXY-MORON piece of shit!
Sincerely, Sir Stugots Scoregge nella mia testa
Weaponized COVID-19?
Each and every day gone bye,
bye since the Coronavirus began in earnest to wreck-havoc in tranquility on a
global scale, the ways and means it has attacked humans is far from a naturally
occurring phenomenon! We could not be this so ill-prepared and nature is not
that cruel, even though the legal-sleaze are already singing the $$$cha-ching$$$
along song, saying it is an “Act of God” so sue thee. Not much is being said
about this “pandemic” phenomenon in origin, as all are too busy just trying to
stay ahead of this pandemic - in a “don’t think twice it's alright ma I’m only bleeding
let me forget about today until tomorrow”. Which means through process of
elimination, a man-made atrocity that was originally designed as a modern-day biological
weapon that takes advantage of our “habits” in addiction. See, someone out there
was in realization that “cell phone radiation” was causing a “much to do about
nothing” outside like interference side-effect, with the outcome a make-shift like
“blood transfusion” confusing but nothing to worry about. And the result of
this outside interference in radiation bombardment, by not only your own cell
mate, but ridicule from every damn device in proximity your GPS position, well
normal healthy “blood cells” taking on the “spiny” attribute as a defense.
Medically speaking, a.k.a. the “sea urchin” or “hedgehog” configuration. Which
then finds a natural affinity attraction-attachment towards foreign objects
with like “spines”, welcome aboard the COVID-19. Normal healthy blood cells
have been naturally weaponized, to give shelter from the storm. But when “radiated”
because we need to be “Twitter Dumb and Twitter Dumber” with “We all Tweet in a
Twitter submarine”, well what a perfect weapon as we are addicted to being “connected”
24/7. So even while sound asleep, if that “cell” is powered up sitting
harmlessly on that nightstand then linked up in a “wireless” insomnia mood,
this effect is bombarding those once protective “blood cells”. The reaction
finds change, the normal process. With 7-billion cells phones and as many
humans, we have shit in our bed - maybe our own death-bed! For the most part,
it is not a problem as our human body in mechanism is pretty robust - and only
when someone wants to cause a problem does that overwhelm things. So who would
do this? What is hell is the Kim Jong bUNghole messing with these days? This is
not an accident, this was a premeditated design of a “weapon” by an evil Moron,
that somehow got outside its intended audience - at least I hope it was a
mistake. But this could have been something produced at home by a lone ranger
like Ted Kaczynski - that used his or her own cradle of civilization to develop
this menace. A design that also maintained a logarithmic “shed factor” and once
it was armed and distributed? And when and if we get over this, the “World”
must investigate how this COVID got out of control - but if we find out that is
was possible to lab rat grow a “virus” that can take advantage of our addiction
to being connected, do you think our leaders would ever enact legislation that
limits how we destroy ourselves so we then become vulnerable to outside
interference attacks - like limiting that addiction? No, as it was already well
known by the FDA that refused to warn us about the destruction, by not lowering
the radiation limits because - well the “cell phone lobby” doesn’t give a rat’s
ass! The bottom line, this COVID is a “designer virus” that was purposely provided
with the mechanism to take advantage of our addictions and how the latter has
redefined the health of our “blood cells”, then take advantage of the weakness.
In the sentiment that we are our own worst enemy - just add a little help from
a friend and - it’s here to stay now what!
Bob Dylan on John Lennon
After listening to Bob Dylan’s new single, “Murder
Most Foul”, my dissertation this genuine take on John F. Kennedy’s “Assassination”
back in 1963, it is in reality a tribute to John Lennon!
Melania My GUINEA Pig
In “Idea”, I’m all for the
Fucking Moron’s EMERGENCY declaration that medical professionals, due short
supplies, may have to re-use the PPE necessary to protect the “First Responders”
during this COVID-19 season opener. And this “declaration” is based on the fact
the “used” PPE can be “sanitized” for re-use, up to 6X before the steam
cleaning is no longer effective. I guess it means for home use, that Instant
Pot a very valuable investment. So, I’m in, this recycling effort on one
condition. If-and-only-if I see Melania on the frontlines “pre-testing” this
fantasy.
White House EMERGENCY Order
Effective
immediately, and until further notice, the WHITE HOUSE/Oval Office will
relocate its executive staff to a safe haven in Mar-a-Lago, Palm Beach Florida. This is due
the fact the Melania Klaus Fuch “Tennis Court” construction completion being
delayed due COVID-19.

Sea Urchin Meets COVID-19
Could our addiction to “Beam
me up, Scotty”, this fascination to be “smart” linked 24/7 every which
way but loose hold promises to this COVID-19 pandemic no end in sight? A 2015 study
on the state-of-change consistent with “human blood cell morphology” exposed to
cell phone radiation went studied and found very interesting science. A concern
everyone should take note. And could it be this cause and effect when “morphed”
and the resulting “echinocytes” - that which resembles a “sea urchin” - that then
acts as a “spikey cell” receptor to the “freeloading” COVID? That study
concluded with the below listed highlights:
The Russians have conducted many studies on the
non-thermal effects of microwaves, and as a result have adopted a more
stringent guideline that is sixty to one hundred times lower than U.S.
guidelines.
No formal studies examining the blood of humans
exposed to cell phones have been found in the medical literature to date.
Nine out of ten test subjects showed observable blood
changes due to cell phone radiation exposure.
Such blood morphologies --red blood cell clumping and
misshapen cells-- are frequently observed in ill persons.
“Results show substantial changes in the blood from
short-term cell phone radiation exposure in nine out of ten human subjects. RBC
aggregation and stickiness were mainly observed following 45 minutes of
exposure to a smart phone in receiving mode worn by subjects in a backpack. By
contrast, RBC morphological (shape) changes including the formation of
echinocytes (spiky cells) were dominant after subjects actively used the phone
for an additional 45 minutes. It appears that RBC stickiness with clumping is
the first stage of the cell phone radiation effect. Subsequently, the RBC
aggregates tend to break apart, and then cell shape changes occur, in which
echinocytes and other misshapen cells are observed. Not all subjects showed
both types of changes.” - (Beverly Rubik, 2015, Human short-term exposure to cell phone
radiation causes changes in blood cell morphology)
And on the subject of
Russia, in a comparison to the United States on 3/29/2020:
U.S.: 137294
Active Cases with 2414 Deaths
Russia: 1534 Active Cases with 8 Deaths
Russia: 1534 Active Cases with 8 Deaths

Coronavirus Cure?
Like in “Arsenic and Old
Lace”, is it here and now that “We are the World, We are the Children” have
come to the crossroads and must “heed a certain call”, on this eve of destruction
this Coronavirus Apocalypse? Sea to shining sea, it is the storm of all storms.
And yes, time precious still remains to adopt “Cyanide and New Lace”! I am
talking about considering the proverbial “fight fire with fire” sentiment
this new age menace that has civilization on the brink of “Harry Scary”. How
so? Praytell by using a known “poison” to attack this Coronavirus “poison” - the
“New Lace”. Did not the German Nazi scientists experiment with this notion when
developing “germ warfare” during WWII, some ways and means to treat their own
civilization if one of Hitler’s “mass murder” biological weapons backfired and
thus attacked an unintended audience - its own people? See, it may be that
medically prescribed and professionally administered “cyanide” under precise
control, it could seize the moment and movement of the “virus” by cutting down
the oxygen supply that supports the human body’s cell health - in a cell like
priority battle wherein the “cell” tells the “mate” to get lost. Is not the “virus”
merely a hijacking “mate” like leach, that would find no seniority or
preferential treatment when push comes to shove and be abandoned by the “cell” due
depletion of life allowing “oxygen”? Yes, completely opposite the “Ventilator
Blues”, which is being used to combat this atrocity. But does that remedy
continue to support the “virus” until such time the human body can develop its
own germ warfare? Look, there are not enough “ventilators” to combat this
Armageddon and its expected attack rate on the global population. And if this “fighting
fire with fire” works, is not “cyanide” readily available? Johnny Apple
seed ring a bell? We need a novel solution, fast and furious and if “cyanide”
gives peace a chance, I’m in. And remember this thought through another trying
times day:
There
comes a time
When we heed a certain call
When the world must come together as one
There are people dying
Oh, and it's time to lend a hand to life
The greatest gift of all…
When we heed a certain call
When the world must come together as one
There are people dying
Oh, and it's time to lend a hand to life

Coronavirus Lockdown - Entertainment
Time for a good read recommendation.
What else to do, when in that state of uncertainty with “Shelter at Home” or if
in an unfortunate uncertainty with a “Quarantine at Home” jurisdiction, sit
back and enjoy a good book. My son-in-law has been waiting 7-days for his test
results, the family in limbo waiting for either the good pasture news or that out-to-pasture
news, I guess that is the way we treat our veterans as more important to test
basketball players, disingenuous priorities? Let’s all be patient! So my suggestion,
well not really an Uncle Tom’s Cabin, but how about digging into Uncle Al’s Closet?
See, Woody Guthrie - wish he were still alive and well today to get us through
this Armageddon Helter-Skelter - well this Father in Patriotism sang out loud
and clear “This Land is Your Land this land is My land” with emphasis on
the “Biggest Thing that Man Has Ever Done” said so well; “There's
warehouse guys and teamsters and guys that skin the cats, Guys that run my
steel mill, my furnace and my blast.” And then with the Grand Coulee
Dam in serenade the “working class act” the American workers when “Uncle
Sam took up the challenge in the year of Thirty three For the farmer and the
factory and all of you and me He said, "Roll along Columbia. You can
ramble to the sea But river while you're ramblin' you can do some work for me.”
Wow, what an inspiration and had Woody been still serenading the Highwaymen
that came to be with Willie, such an influence, well sure enough another verse would
have been added to praise the building of the Trans-Alaskan-Pipeline, a necessity
back in the 70s because of the Arab oil embargo. And those too young then to remember
what it all meant, gasoline shortages, rationing and fights in the line at the
Citgo stations. It was like being under attack, no gas can’t drive can’t get to
work. Then relief, when that engineering marvel was complete and oil started
flowing down that 800-mile wonder many experts said could not be done - that
was some 40-years ago gone bye-bye and that lines saved this nation from “financial
ruin” by supplying 20% of our daily bread and prompted a resurgence of oil
development and today we are an “oil independent” nation all on our own if need
be. Yet today we wait in line for Toilet Paper? Anyway, the company that
operates the Trans-Alaska-Pipeline is a very unique story, somewhat scary such
a powerful entity. The conglomerate brain-child of the “Seven Sisters”, the
most powerful oil companies ever permitted to do business the American way, and
do it the not so ethical way and get away with anti-trust? Yes, SOHIO, which
was under “anti-Trust” breakup back in the 40s would survive well into the 80s,
as no other American oil company could touch the assets else be at fault of even
more “Anti-Trust”. Anyway, think about what it takes for a handful of very
powerful organization setting up a “common” philosophy to run that TAPS, a
company called the Alyeska Pipeline Service Company! Mind-boggling an entity
directed by the “Boardmen” of the biggest empires in existence, in pursuit of
that “black gold” - wherein many members of Congress went stool stuck in the
back pockets of these $billion$ dollar monopolies. Look, 18-billion barrels of
oil have come down that “monopoly” with estimates of $1.2-TRILLION in profits. So
this Alyeska company finds a fascination and I try to deliver the “goods” what
it all means as I worked for that company and understood the ins & outs. Yes,
in a nutshell it is like the Pope understanding that pedophile priesthood is
sinful, yet the Cardinals condone it - this best paints that picture how that
company operated to supply that “black gold”. So want some good reads, how such
a company allowed the EXXON Valdez “Wreck” to soon enjoy that 31-year anniversary
special as overboard oil is still causing an ecosystem nightmare? For FREE at Uncle Al’s Closet(UncleAlsCloset.blogspot.com). ENJOY!

Dear Donald John Trump
Dear Donald, Commander-in-Chief
and 45th President of these United States;
Wish
you well on this Saint Patrick’s Day, 2020, but “I'm sorry to give you
the very sad news” all is not well in KilKelley, U.S.A., “We the Patriots”
are under attack, “We the People” are under duress, and I take this time to thank
you for the entertainment during such trying times. I hope that entertainment is
humor designed to ease our minds through this “hoax” pandemic. But all is NOT
well, after waiting in line for 2-weeks 10-hours a day to get that Wuyen virus test,
when I finally made it to the front of the line in a sigh-of-relief some RNC “Ronna”
bitch was given preferential treatment to cheat the waiting line and cheat my
seniority and then the medic informed me she got the last test cell - so I quit.
Then I waited in another mile long line, for toilet paper and same old thing
just sold the last 1-ply, and I was having one of them Fava bean relapses and
shitting my shorts, you know with that “I told ya I ordered those Fava
beans over there. You got them things fuckin’ stinkin’ up the house now.”
So I ask with politeness, what the “Stugots” is wrong in your head, as besides
not getting that test and short on bum wipe, the damn grocery shelves are empty?
Now being a survivalist living many years in Alaska, being prepared means don’t
wait until the last minute, that Boy Scout motto in “Be Prepared”. And for the
last week, I have been shopping for something so deserving my father taught me well
in my youth and have enjoyed for 68-years. And for this very day, March 17th
2020, as it is Saint Patrick’s Day. Now even though your so-called pandemic “hoax”
has fooled the parade grand marshal and the yearly “Erin go Bragh” salute to “give
Ireland back to the Irish” has been cancelled sea to shining sea, well this
land is my land this land ain’t your land, what-the-fuck as I was still
planning to salute my heritage. So I got the beer, got the cabbage, got the
potatoes and the soda bread…but the meat counters are empty and NO CORNED BEEF!
So I blame you, not for being ill-prepared to test everyone for that “hoax” and
so what my fingers stink of crap due re-using the TP, but when the “Irishman”
cannot get the “beef” on this sacred day, my dad is turning in his grave as is
Saint Pat.
So,
maybe I should have addressed you as Eunuch-in-Chief better then
Commander-in-Thief which also fits and any “Sir” is out of the question. Maybe because
I heard one of your cronies say the White House canteen is serving up that
feast for today’s celebration and the bathrooms there have 2-ply on overflow
and for real, you said that all those fine men and women behind you your “Covfefeavirus
Task Force” have all been tested? Now I would be there without invitation, but
I cannot get tested and cannot travel due my age and your “hoax” has placed a
damper on my freedoms…as you have failed miserably. As when this nation is so
unprepared that “corned beef” is a luxury item for the wealthy, and
preferential treatment shames the wherewithal of who we are as a Nation now
divided, especially on this very special day - maybe it is time “We the People
Patriots” ask you for that warranty! But that had a phrase called “Good Faith”
obligation, and you have single handedly change it into “Bad Faith”, as that is
all that counts in your peanut brain world. Where’s the beef? Probably by this time in the
day you have already shit out your fair share and with 2-ply, wow way to go.
And thanks for that $1000-bonus, as when the shelves finally start to see a
relief, with “corned beef” and “toilet paper” no longer a scarcity, I am sure
someone will get their money’s worth and it sure won’t be this guy as we can also thank you for "scalping". again alive and well. No wonder Woody Guthrie sang loud and clear about your father Fred, as like father like son the moron dysentery dyNASTY keeps fucking things up. Happy Saint Patrick’s
Day! By the way, do Fucking Morons celebrate this day, and if so why embarrass my heritage?
St. Pat Miracle - Coronavirus Cure
WE NEED TO GO BACK TO NORMAL
LIVING…as it was a few months ago before this CORONaVirus took over “Tranquility”.
Yes, start today to get back to normal, free to come and go as we please regardless
of the increasing cases documented - as something has gone terribly wrong how
humankind reacts to financial violence. Matter of fact STOP all testing,
continue on testing for a vaccine, but at the same time without delay RETURN TO NORMAL. Else we
are doomed, as what happens if we do follow the snake oil recommendations and
then when it is on “control”, what happens if another outbreak occurs? Same
pattern of abuse as we are in overdrive with this panic! And this episode, as
viruses will come and go out-with-the-old and in-with-the-new as the human DNA
is susceptible to colds and sniffles, it is about to overwhelm the entire
medical practice and that will have a logarithmic effect. It will bombard the
health care system needed by all other hospitalization calls and something we
should stay away from. This panic is NOT worth it! If you feel sick, just stay
home! When I was a kid growing up on Clarner Street in Pawtucket of Rhode
Island, there came many a flu seasons wherein the entire family just sat
around the living room, chicken broth for breakfast, lunch and dinner - in
between times that shared thermometer was checking for the fever. But life
outside went on, even if that flu-bug at the KilKelley residence would eventually
travel to Jack’s house and then on to Sid’s house, travel from family to family
through the neighborhood - we did not let it get in the way of life! And even
when under the weather as a kid, we still went outside to play hoops! This was
all before the modern medicine scene with vaccines. We lived with it, we got
over it and thus we prospered from a “Braveheart” reality. What has occurred
today with this new age Wuyen, it was over-sensational panic and that is probably the worst
transmittal side effect the contagiousy over a viable contingency, so we see more panic each and every day forthcoming and mankind
has not adjusted to that “panic” situation. Look at the way this virus is being
handled by the authorities, by the G-Men, the confidence level is a “Divide by
Zero” ERROR! Now I am calling for life to return to normal, I am not a medical
professional, and sure people will get infected and there may come dire
consequences. But what are our choices, more panic waiting at least a year for
a cure? Then more panic people trying to get to the head of the line for that
shot more valuable then toilet paper? Look, we cannot even control ourselves
with that toilet paper hoarding, so we have but for a single “mission”, call
off the hounds and return to normal and get business back to normal. And I
would wager, that in a few weeks’ time - take that back, we would return to
normalcy immediately, because our minds would be set at ease, and that is all
we need as a medicinal boost. It will at least eradicate the “headache” symptoms
some of us are living with in observation how mankind reacts to a global “pandemic”
phenomenon. My take, living in fear, is it somebody’s plan? Look, because of
this panic, when the entire world is suffering with the unknowns, of course we
are not all going to die. Our bodies are self-ordained the miracle of health,
not for all, but a majority and that is what we must test, as it was our only
saving grace back in the 50s. But what really scares me, with this “panic” and
the markets cratering, well that is the sound of a “Ch-Ching” for many as the
government “bailouts” are going to keep that charity alive and well, and maybe
that is why Donald Trump finally declared it a “National Emergency” so his
financial portfolio and that of all his Mar-a-Lago booster club members,
smiling all the way to the bank as the U.S. Treasury is robbed. If anything
needs to be on a “lock-down”, there it is, Uncle Sam’s piggy bank. Throwing
panic around, by a cast of medical professionals with their heads up a dead-end
ally because all that Harvard schooling still did very little to prepare them
for this and manic depression panic on top of that by political aspirations, we
have but a single course to follow. So, back to normalcy, erase what has occurred
the past 2 or 3 months when this Wuyen escaped, and we will feel a whole lot
better realizing that it was not or is not a “hoax”, but a realization we “panic”
all too damn easy. So get out the blankets, and that old mercury thermometer, and
please no hoarding of the chicken soup! The only way we are going to get out of
this COVFEFEaPanicVirus, is getting back to what we were doing before this
scare, and believe me, it will be like a miracle and a lessons’ learned how we
react next-time around. That of course if we take a breather, take a time-out,
and say NO MORE to this panic this “crisis” and get back to NORMAL. "I’m In" how
about you? And if feeling under the weather, chicken soup with a blanket along with some KilKelley should suffice. And if that is not enough and since SNL has also been cancelled, that laughter is the best medicine just listen to the authorities deal with this Coronavirus turned Covfefeavirus, funny she wrote.
and...Happy Saint Pat's Day - cancelled for nothing but I have beer and at least for today not live in FEAR! WE NEED NORMAL and I'll drink to that!

Trump & Pence Quarantined
CPAC Attendee Tested Positive
for Coronavirus
(CNN)The American
Conservative Union announced on Saturday that one of the attendees at last
week's Conservative Political Action Conference in National Harbor,
Maryland, has tested positive for coronavirus.
President Donald Trump, Vice President Mike Pence and other
administration officials attended the conference, though the ACU says the
attendee did not come into contact with the president or vice president, nor
did they attend events in the main hall.
The ACU said the Trump administration "is aware of the
situation."
Medical Alternatives: One man who was
out and about in the city was Jamil Azar, who was filling his car
with gas. “People are afraid as they don’t know who has the
virus and who does not,” he said. Jamil himself was not overly concerned,
though, believing that an age-old elixir, available to him as a Christian,
would keep him right.
“I don’t wear a mask
because I don’t need it … I drink alcohol,” he said.

The EXXON Valdez - Root Cause
On the Eve of
Destruction - The EXXON Valdez “Wreck” Remembered
Soon upon us once
again that March 24th “horror scene” and this time around
commemorating the 31st anniversary of that historic wreck - how time
flies! All is not yet well, as the destructive habit of stubborn and weathered
oil lingers on like a forever death-grip for Prince William Sound, what have we
learned? As when it was all said and done with in the “Courts” upon sentencing during
the “Wreck’s” aftermath blame game, the EXXON $fines$ and Captain Joe’s bar time,
all reduced to a slap on the wrist. Maybe so we learned nothing, yes nothing so
is it time for a rewind, say from 1989 backwards to 1979? As surely there has
to be a “someone” or “something” to blame - it was not an accident so that “something”
doesn’t count. And that leaves us with that “someone”, yet Joe was let go with an
almost “free & clear” penance. Hear Ye, Hear Ye will the guilty “someone”
please step up to the plate!
Due my affiliation
with the Alyeska Pipeline Service Company during that “event” of a lifetime,
well the “Eve of Destruction” that unprecedented “wreck” crashing a fully laden
tanker into a well-known “reef” located in a pristine marine ecosystem, it started
long before Joe radioed in that he was “hard aground and leaking some oil”. And
poor old Captain Joe Hazelwood, well he did apologize, with a Simple Simon
remorse of “I abuse alcohol”. And the Mighty EXXON did also offer up an apology
through an action, as it sold the “wreck” to China and that heap of scrap was renamed
the Nicety! What’s up with that? But that “Eve of Destruction”, for those of us
in the know it was in reality on the day before that this “Wreck” found
historic and worldwide fame, wherein it all began. When just before midnight a Yellow
Cab “Taxi” pulled up to the Alyeska “Marine Terminal” Security with a boatload of
binge drinking seamen no longer able-bodied, out and about enjoying “bar tab” furlough
freedom as that tanker went filled to the brim with “crude oil”. But that was
not unusual for the Alyeska “contracted” Security detail to turn a blind eye,
as even if “Under-the-Influence” this slipping through that “watch” it was
condoned by the Alyeska Management - as moving oil at any expense was the goal.
And it was not that these “can’t walk a straight line” seamen were driving a car,
well welcome home now climb aboard that tanker and sail it through the “Sound”.
OK, but that night before on that “Eve of Destruction”, it does not do justice either
as one must go back even further in time to make a determination who was the
ultimate “someone” at blame that allowed this “Wreck” to occur. Yes, read on
and find out the fuse and who lit that fuse for that destruction, as it should
have been and could have been avoided so easily. Matter in fact, we came so
close to STOPPING this abuse. Unfortunately, our efforts sidetracked by overzealous
jealousy from within the Alyeska “Management” ranks, that we didn’t trust them
while we enjoined “Solidarity” our distrust. Look, we could not take away Joe’s
keys, but we bargained for the power to restrict that “furlough” as a solution,
yet the Alyeska Management balked and the outcome of that stubborn like
behavior is well known - “Hard Aground”!
It all started in
1979, when a small fraction of the Alyeska workforce in Valdez decided to hold
an election for “organized labor” representation. It was a unanimous decision
in favor of a “UNION”, with 22-YEA verses 5-NEY in the final “vote” tally. It
meant a small faction, a fraction of the 200-head count workforce at the “END”
of the 800-mile long Trans-Alaska-Pipeline now entertaining being under the
umbrella of a “collective bargaining unit”. This came about when Jimmy Carter
was still the sitting U.S. President, an all important fact based on the fact
that to hold such an election it must be sanctioned by the National Labor Relations
Board “chaired” by the President’s appointees, those that find an affection for
the Commander’s political agenda. A time when the “Union” found a whole lot of
breathing room. So it was a done deal, the “vote” in favor of a “UNION” and
soon certified by the NLRB as “official” and “We’re In” we saluted!
Now this “organized
bargaining” was one of those things that did not have an invite through that Alyeska
“OPEN DOOR” Policy and Alyeska decided to “object” to the fact that a “UNION”
was now standing in that doorway and wanting in on the action. And interesting enough,
that “objection” was overruled in a “supplemental decision” by the NLRB “Regional
Director”, that the objection was merely a take-down on how the bargaining unit
bosses “boast” upon the benefit of a “UNION”, also known as “puffing” and a
very common denominator tool used to entice “organized labor” at the worksite.
It basically means “zero” interference upon a worker’s rights and it meant the
UNION was here to stay time to arrest the drunks. What does that mean? OK, the
interest in a “UNION” was not due to the lack of a livable wage nor the work conditions
second to none, but out of a growing suspicion that the Alyeska “Management” from
far and away in Fairbanks and Anchorage was derelict in its duties to make sure
the Alaskan oil trade was performed with emphasis on safety, including
environmental concerns addressed. And some of us working the Valdez detail, we had
enough of the drunks and when the management failed to acknowledge that a
210000 DWT tanker filled to the brim with “crude oil” and driven “Under-the-Influence”,
well not a very bright idea. But the sentiment from management, “boys will be boys”
as moving oil was their only concern. The abuse in inebriation of the tanker
crews on furlough, it was well known about, but for a handful in Alyeska’s
executive rank and file, it seemed they just did not care. With a “UNION”, we
had more clout to make sure our concerns were addressed and if push comes to
shove, a work “slowdown” by this small faction now “represented” by outside
interference - it gets the point across. The small faction that was now under
that “UNION”, it meant the “Instrumentation & Electrical” crew now front
and center of attention with newfound “power”. And without our expertise, tankers
were dead in the water as was the entire system in Valdez derailed and that meant
curtailment of the “Pipeline” now delivering 20% of the nation’s energy needs. We
were now on the forefront to yield a power that could send shivers up the spine
of “Big Oil” and restrict that lucrative Alaskan “oil trade” to a halt. And that
said, all we were asking for is for the “Management” to get rid of the “drunks”.
It was a simple solution. But Alyeska then asked for a review of the “supplemental
decision” that found in favor of a “UNION” over the objection and the original
decision in objection that the “voice of the workers” through that NLRB
sanctioned vote desired that “UNION”. Which means the case landed on the bench
of the NLRB “Chairman” but not scheduled on the docket until 1982, a long ways
away for those Valdez workers to watch their backs and best carry that RIGID
818 to fend against those unruly tanker crews. For real, I had to resort to
that “weapon” when a bunch of “drunks” returned from that “furlough” and
demanded I give them a ride from the “Taxi Stand” to their awaiting tanker’s
gangplank. I refused in “solidarity” and raised that RIGID in defiance! Now during
this “objection” time-out, the “UNION” was placed in a holding pattern. Yes,
Alyeska wanted that “Board” hearing not in a hurry, but wait until Ronald
Reagan was sworn in as the 40th POTUS and then had enough time to
seat his own kind on important “boards” like the NLRB. The entire process was
time delayed in efforts to favor Alyeska’s stance, to fight off the “UNION”.
And finally, when a John R. Van de Water was christened in the “Smith Seat” as
Chairman of the NLRB, then it was time for Alyeska to play hardball with the
Valdez workers saluting that “UNION”. Van de Water was known to be a flat-out UNION
Buster, so during his Senate confirmation was strongly opposed by the labor
organizations like the AFL-CIO. Matter of fact, that is what Van de Water did
for a living, as a consultant with a lucrative career in anti-union campaigns
to the point his track record, well in his testimony Mr. Union Buster admitted
that he was involved in 125 successful campaigns to “block” union organizing,
losing only 5 and calling on the losers to fight to undo what was done! And
guess what, when the “Board” heard the Alyeska case, what was once considered “puff”
stuff in 1979 was now considered a “fist inside a velvet glove” approach and
the entire election was thrown out. What a difference a few years makes, puff
to fists to the point the “Board” referred to the “Union” tactics as “evil”? Now
the NLRB was smart, as it realized that on “appeal” that this “evil decision” based
on a political calling card, it could find its way all the way to the U.S.
Supreme Court and of course the “Supremes” would have found that it was “puff”,
nothing more and that election would have been stayed in favor of a “UNION”.
But by calling for the direction of a “Second Election” some many months away
and now years away from the original “vote”, it didn’t allow a request for
intervention by the “High Court” and it gave Alyeska all the time in the world
to unravel the definition of a “collective bargaining unit” by making changes
on how business responsibilities went divided up at the Valdez “Marine Terminal”.
Gone with the wind was the “Maintenance Group” as a whole, which means the “I&E”
Technicians were divided up and spread around, all of us now classified as “Technicians”
- which meant very hard to find a majority of all similarly situated
technicians interested in a “UNION”. Look, an operator has no interest in the
IBEW, as so a mechanic wants nothing to do with “electricity”. And it was the International
Brotherhood of Electrical Workers that the Valdez “I&E” won that first
election promoting an affiliation with “organized labor”. So conquer by dividing, as those that had
spoken out against the drunk’d tanker crews, repositioned up the hill to the
Power Vapor Group, and never again would there be any contact with the
inebriated sailor boys in a retaliatory out-of-site out-of-mind mentality. It
stunk, as we knew it was still going on unabated and many workers just too damn
scared to speak up as by now the “threats” from Alyeska’s management center of
attention. So we were toast, as that possibility of another successful
election, it was never to happen and the EXXON Valdez made history. We were
trying to STOP the bastards, and instead of Alyeska targeting that “boys will
be boys” bull-crap, it was the “vocal UNION supporters” like myself that fell
victim to this busting effort. This is what political “clout” finds as an
advantage over the workers, as it takes but for a single individual to make this
sensation from “puff to fists” and yielding the power to overthrow an election,
the “will” of the workers! That person of interest, that “someone” to blame for
that March 24th “wreck”? Look nowhere else, point a finger at that
NLRB “Chairman” Van de Water.
And when Alyeska
wasted precious resources to fend off the UNION, with the drunk tanker crews it
meant more and more time to take advantage of the situation at hand at times
totally out of control. See, it was easy to STOP the drunks, no lawyers
required, maybe a few broken knuckles from our RIGID 818s! So Alyeska had the
message, but “Killed the Messenger”.
With that NLRB “evil”
ruling back in 1982 upon a valid election in 1979, by the Chairman “UNION”
Buster, the “direction for a second election” would never materialize - not
until 2004 wherein the United Steel Workers would make another attempt to “Unionize”
the workforce in Valdez. Strange, as in the initial “objection” by Alyeska
still out in force fighting any and all “organized labor” approaches, funny
that the NLRB is of record that “the record reveals no evidence of bargaining
history with this employer and any union”? What the furlough, is this our
government at work with the taxpayers’ supplied funds for fun? Maybe I was seeing
double, but I voted in an election with the IBEW, how there can no longer be a
record, how about Case 19-RC-9016? But what really shows the success of Alyeska’s
“Union Busting” now more then ever empowered by the Van de Water decision, when
that election in 2004 was a success for the Valdez “collective bargaining unit”
so defined, in “objection” Alyeska likewise threw that election under the bus
of Democracy in consideration “workers’ rights”. By figuring out that Alyeska
and the entire Trans-Alaska-Pipeline was by definition a “Public Utility” and
thus not subject to the jurisdiction of the NLRB. This set a bad and sad precedence
for our children’s future in any labor movement activity, as even slaves had a
better chance at salvation then what is happening today for “Organized Labor”. Sad,
when it was “organized labor” that built this pipeline while the “Union”
members braved treacherous work conditions in extremes of cold, a project many
experts said was an impossibility. Even sadder, when that the Red, White &
Blue still flies from the flagpoles of Alyeska’s Bragaw Street “Headquarters” and
at the “Marine Terminal”, as that is a sacrilege against everything American in
“Labor”!
~~~~~
And herein is how Simple Simon it was to
prevent that “Wreck”:
Rewind of 89: In 1979, the Valdez “I&E”
bargained for “organized labor” representation, a unanimous overwhelming decision
in favor of the “UNION” 22 to 5 in final tally of ballots. With that, Alyeska’s
executive management under Frank Turpin grooming George M. Nelson, it was realized
this choice was the voice of the “workers” and Alyeska did not appeal the “vote”
outcome. With that, the NLRB stayed the election results as “certified” in
favor of the “UNION”. Soon after, Alyeska’s management and the workers were in
serious negotiations as to how this “Union” relationship would work to both
parties advantage - a working together as Alyeska was known as a reputable
organization in charge of operating the 800-mile long Trans-Alaska-Pipeline so
essential for America’s energy stream independence. The biggest annoyance as to
why the dedicated “I&E” workforce sought a UNION, the drunk tanker crews
causing problems with the Valdez workers just trying to do their assigned jobs.
Alyeska was quick to accommodate a “fix” to cover the Unionized workers concerns
upon this “I abuse alcohol” syndrome and placed the “Causeways” between the
tanker loading berths and Alyeska’s “Marine Terminal” property proper off
limits to non-essential/non-Alyeska personnel. Essentially an easy justification
eliminating that shore-side furlough for the tanker crews who in the past enjoyed
time off in the town of Valdez and consuming way too much alcohol before
sailing away with a boatload of “crude oil”. Without access upon the “Causeways”,
that furlough was STOPPED and so was the binge drinking. Basically, from now on
then the tanker crews restricted to the ship’s quarters, unless out of a
medical necessity. All was good, Alyeska management and the UNION smiled in
harmony and on March 24th, 1989 - it was just a normal day for the
Alaskan oil trade business as usual with no unusual events. As by now tanker
crews were minding their Ps&Qs and all was calm in Prince William Sound and
“clear sailing” all the way to the high seas. Thanks to the “UNION” and Alyeska
management working together to eliminate a potential nightmare, in a “Hard Aground”
scenario a tanker hitting Bligh Reef because of “I abuse alcohol” as a root
cause in negligence. Wow, “We’re In” and “Oil In” and “We Won”
hurray for the State of Alaska and Alyeska and the UNION!
Yes, that simple!
