Celebrating artists and veterans alike: those who do not work for financial interests (part one)

My paternal grandfather -- whom I never met -- is buried in Golden Gate cemetery.  His headstone says "U.S. Marine Corp" and "WWII". I mentioned in my introduction post that like most veterans and undercelebrated Navajo Code Talkers of his era, my grandfather did not dedicate his life to serving financial interests. The war on fascism enabled womens' rights on this continent.  My maternal ancestry has a significant chunk of Native American -- or, as we prefer to be called, "indigenous", and I was his first grandchild, despite the fact that my dad was not his oldest son.  Also since it is relevant to how we refer to time -- my parents were never officially married. My mother, being of indigenous peoples, did not believe in those certificates with incorrect time stamps issued by County-based courthouses, or in what their idea of "official" is.  She always knew her grandfathers and great grandmothers had been on this continent longer than Columbus' people.

The end of WWII enabled rights for those women whose ancestors -- for whatever reason -- left Africa, Asia, Pacific Islands, Australia or Europe for the tectonic plates of the North American continent. Aside from womens' rights to leave any unhealthy, fascist relationship they want to leave, the veterans and Navajo Code Talkers who served in my grandfather's era also unlocked and enabled leaps and bounds on "freedom of the press".  The rights to be able to document, expose, and extinguish corruption anywhere and everywhere are due to the sacrifices of people who lived and served for a greater good.  For example,  Esther Gulick along with her friends Kay and Silvia got to work on their environmentalist activity cleaning up what was in the 1960's (RCT) unregulated toxic industry in the waterways of the San Francisco Bay. The smoggy pollution-ridden skies of the early 1970's (RCT) also got cleaned up significantly due to communication channels on a PUBLIC, global Internet (thank old timers at $英特爾 (INTC.US)$), freedom of the press, and -- of course -- women.

I read a long while ago on the PUBLIC Internet that college dropout CEO has a big emotional hangup (envy) about not being able to get into any military branch. It therefore comes as no surprise to me that his fantasy world of limitless petrodollars means, to him, that he can  buy whatever he wants -- not only in Hawaii, suing and stealing ancestral lands from Kānaka Maoli -- but also a 75,000 square foot Doomsday compound in Lake Tahoe, too.  Let's all just be real and honest in saying he's an immature child who he thinks he can avoid being accountable for his spending "forever".  His fantasy of a limitless petrodollar spending has filled the planet up with all these terrible things since 2012, and way too many crimes against women. Reservation women have specifically been negatively impacted.  

Another reason I'll never work for college dropout CEO from Germany's petrodollar fantasy is that he just doesn't care; many would say his Executive Operation "is directly responsible for" the IRL upticks in police brutality, "gatekeeping" of what people expected to be public Internet channels (see also: Myanmar), and an all-out war on Network Neutrality. Speaking of Network Neutrality, trying to kill it does bad things. A German YouTuber, Sabine Hossenfelder, notes that her country suffers today from some of the worst Internet service on the planet.
