On this Memorial Day I would like to remind us that blessed are the peacemakers, we must never glorify war and death, those who have experienced war hate war and they love peace.

I managed a dog kennel for 6 years in Lancaster, California, for a World War II Veteran. He was in school to become a Veterinarian when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, and he had to drop out of school to join the Marine Corps to go fight against the Japanese. Because he was training to be a Veterinarian they put him in charge of their War Dogs, he trained Dobermans for the Marines, and he managed a dog kennel full of Dobermans for the Marines. He went to combat in Japan with his war dog Duke. And he hated war. He had a photo of the United Nations on the wall of our office, and he said the UN was a good hope to stop future world wars, he loved the UN.

The people who have been to war love peace. War is horrible, and blessed are the peacemakers who keep the peace and who prevent wars.

Of note, the Central Intelligence Agency was created along with the UN to prevent future world wars, we need for our best and brightest to work for the CIA, along with the UN, to prevent war.

I give thanks to those who served and died, while at the same time I honor my former Veteran Boss when I say that the peacemakers are blessed.

Peace.

Salute,

Tony V.

"One in four Palestinians leaving Gaza are coming to Australia...with very little checks." - Sky News

Use your computer to send messages to tell the refugees to take their children and to go to the Kiwanis Village in Victoria, British Columbia, the forest of Canada is a nice safe place for the refugee children. They can eat Kellogg's Pop Tarts, and watch Disney cartoons, and the adults can work peaceful forest jobs. And Kiwanis International is global, and Kiwanis already has operations in Egypt right by Gaza, and Kiwanis has a Village in Victoria, British Columbia.

And Australia needs to welcome the good Christians from the Philippines to live in Australia, please welcome our allies as new immigrants to Australia. The people from Taiwan are also good people. And please expand trade with the Philippines, and with Taiwan.

According to Siri then the cheapest land in the USA right now is in Mississippi, so the refugees can go live in Mississippi. ( Britney Spears was born in Mississippi, and I always liked her, she had problems, but she was a huge talented star for a long time, when she was in her prime then she was awesome. )

Salute,

Tony V.

A Soap Opera Star was murdered in Los Angeles, Johnny Wactor, he was trying to stop criminals from stealing his catalytic converter when they shot him. The lesson to be learned is that if you are a successful actor then you need to spend the money to live in a nice gated community with security. Empire West has 24 hour security and door men, the whole building is full of stars because they need a nice safe home, and many stars have stalkers, etc. And Latigo Beach in Malibu has 24 hour security, and Paradise Cove has 24 hour security, etc. When you become a star then you need to live in a safe home, you need to consider your safety and security.

Even where I live now as a poor man, I live in a nice gated community in Anaheim with cameras all over, I am lucky and I live in a safe pad, God blessed me when he brought me to Anaheim. And when I leave here hopefully I will move up to someplace nice like a gated community in Malibu, or to Empire West in West Hollywood, etc.

Spielberg lives in Santa Monica and he has Body Guards.

And with the high crime, Los Angeles needs to have security guards all over, and all of the 7-Elevens need security, etc.

My Grandmother carried a pearl handled .32 semi automatic pistol in her purse, and that is how a lot of women do, Grandma protected all of us, we were all safe because Grandma had a gun in her purse. For the poor single women, they need guns and dogs and cameras, and alarms, etc. And there needs to be security for the student housing, etc.

Of note, the businesses can turn dogs loose to protect their property at night, like the junk yards do, a couple of big dogs will protect your property.

Anyhow, if I get rich, I am moving back to Malibu, or to Empire West, etc, I am not going to stay in the poor area, that is the lesson the stars need to learn, when you succeed then you need to go live where the successful people live. It is sad when stars get murdered in bad neighborhoods where they never had to be, they could have been living in Empire West, etc, or in Malibu, etc. Where I am right now is safe, it is a gated community with cameras, but I will go live with the people from the Entertainment Industry when I can afford it.

Rest in peace to Johnny Wactor.

Salute,

Tony V.

One hard thing about the music industry is when people give heroin and hard drugs to the bands, it would be good to teach all children who want to be musicians to avoid the hard drugs. Pot is safe, you cannot over-dose on pot, and alcohol is safe in moderation, but the hard addictive drugs like heroin really do damage.

I was crushed when Tom Petty died.

And I have a friend who was in the Chili Peppers and he had to quit because they were on heroin, and the guy who replaced him, Hillel Slovak died from a heroin over-dose.

I met a woman who her dream was to be a Band Manager, but she lost all of her money because the band that she managed got on heroin and collapsed. It is hard for a Band Manager to keep the bands clean.

And there is the movie "Lady Sings the Blues" about Billie Holiday, heroin ruined her life, and it was so sad in the movie when her piano player got killed for trying to help her, great film with great acting. Every young musician should watch "Lady Sings the Blues."

I wrote a movie which I hope to produce, and the opening song is by Neil Young, and it is about a porn star and a Rock and Roll DJ, they were teen lovers, and a bunch of bad stuff happens, and she ends up as a homeless orphan, and he ends up in juvenile hall, and she becomes a drug addicted porn star, and he becomes a Rock and Roll DJ, and when he hears about her problems he tries to help her, but she ends up dying anyway, the title of the film is "Echo, A Rock and Roll Tragedy." And I hope to inspire people to donate to Children of the Night to help the homeless teens on the streets of Hollywood, etc. Hugh Hefner read my script and liked it, but we could not find a director, I wanted Oliver Stone but Oliver read it and turned me down. I hope to find some new connections maybe at Chapman film school to help to get my movie made, we will see. I would love to make it at Universal Studios and have a bungalow office. We will see what happens.

Salute,

Tony V.

Beer drinkers and hell raisers.

https://youtu.be/KXswale5Kss

I smoked a joint with ZZ Top at Del Sur Gardens in Lancaster, California, back in about 1989. A bunch of old bikers and hippies lived at Del Sur Gardens and ZZ Top used to hang out there.

There is still an RV Park at Del Sur Gardens. They are still having parties there. BBQ and live bands all summer.

Salute,

Tony V.

Myself and a business partner almost purchased Del Sur in 1989, and yes - there were a couple of well known groups who played there over the years. John Kay and Steppenwolf stopped by and threw down an inpromptu performance in 1988. It was shortly after Kay realized he was ripped off by his investment banker attorney. Still recall the old converted greyhound or national trailways bus they ashowed up in.

According to (now deceased) Paul Koslo who was the former proprietor of the lake hughes 'Rock Inn' mentioned Neil Young also came by and had a beer back in 1972 or so. He was on his way back from a gig in Bakersfield.

Very cool.

I'd like to have my own police dept, with a discreet armed team protecting me 24/7/365...including a US President style vehicle and driver on call.
That is fantasy of course, but I sure would like it.
Oh to be a rich man, life would be so much easier.
An easy and comfortable life is the best kind.

I have never been rich, but I have had some great experiences, I worked at Universal Studios for 1 year and we had our own Police Department, it was great, I just wish I could have made enough money to buy a home, buy a car, and raise a family, then I would have kept the job, but it was minimum wage, so I had to quit. But, I was able to see what it was like at Universal Studios and I was able to watch Ron Howard when he filmed "Apollo 13," and I escorted Phyllis Diller at Bob Hope's Birthday Party, etc.

And I lived in Malibu with the rich people for 1 year, over-looking the ocean, with the daughter of a Chinese General as one of my roommates.

The only President I saw in my life was Ronald Reagan, my hometown built the Space Shuttles, I had a step-dad for a few years who was the boss of the Shuttle Program, and Reagan came out to the desert to Edwards to give a speech when the first Shuttle landed. Reagan was awesome, I loved Reagan.

When I worked at Universal my fellow employees kept telling me to buy the studio someday. At that time it was owned by the Japanese, and the people wanted for me to buy it.

My friend who is rock star thinks I can succeed here in Hollywood, he thinks that I am just holding my own self back. He thinks that I could be making movies and television shows right now if I would get it together. He was in the Red Hot Chili Peppers, and he has faith in me. He enrolled me in Leadership Training in Marina Del Rey, and he has been trying to help me to achieve my full potential.

And my Grandmother thought I was going to be rich. When I was a child we worked hard, she was a dog groomer and we used to work 12 hours per day grooming dogs, but then on days off she would take me to Los Angeles and we would eat on Olvera Street, and we drove all around Beverly Hills looking at the homes where the stars lived, and she told me that someday I could live in Beverly Hills too. She told me I was going to be rich. She taught me to dream big.

The students at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts all had faith in me too, they were very supportive, and I am still friends with my favorite acting teacher. They wanted for me to rise to the top and be the boss. Cecil B. DeMille attended the AADA, and lots of other greats, it is like Harvard, only for actors. The AADA is closing here in Hollywood, which is sad, now the actors will have to go to the AADA in New York to train. If I succeed then I will hire the students from the AADA, and from Harvard, and from USC film school, and from Chapman film school, etc, and from NYU, and Julliard, and the Actor's Studio, etc.

When I was at Universal the Boss was Lew Wasserman, he was the most powerful man in Hollywood at that time, and he ate at my table in the cafeteria, he was a cool guy. And we had Spielberg, and Ron Howard, we had great people. We just need for the workers to be paid better, and for Universal to be altruistic and to help Hollywood.

And yes, the cops need a Bachelor's Degree, and they can study Communication, and Psychology, and Sociology, and Ethics, etc, they can learn healthy conflict resolution skills, etc.

My friend thinks I can be living the life of my dreams right now, he thinks I am holding myself back. I do not know, but I do know I need a good wife to help me. I need a good, smart, talented wife. We can be like Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz, and like Mary Pickford and Douglas Fairbanks. My friend told me to write it all down and pray on it. I would love to find a wife who wants to own Universal Studios someday, and help the people of Hollywood, etc.

Salute,

Tony V.

By the way, I guess my Great Grandfather was the Chief of Police of Denver, Colorado, they came to California during the Great Depression. My Grandmother said that they used to have the Governor of Colorado over for dinner when she was a child in Denver before the Great Depression. They had hard lives, they had the Great Depression, and then Pearl Harbor and World War II, plus other problems, they had hard lives. My Grandmother was a good woman who would have been wealthy if not for the Great Depression and World War II, and other problems.

Salute,

When I worked at Universal Studios then we had our own Police Department, they all worked for us, we did not have the LAPD nor the Sheriff's Department, we had our own Police Department and the cops worked for us. Once you experience what it is like to have your own Police Department, then it is hard to go back to having the asshole cops who just want to beat people up and bust people, and who just want to be dicks, and they are greedy, we need to raise the pay for teachers and lower the pay for cops. And we need for all cops to at least have a Bachelor's Degree. It was cool at Universal where the police knew who paid their pay-checks, the artists at Universal were paying their pay-checks and they knew that, and they respected us, the cops were there to protect and serve us. Once you have your own police department then it is hard to go back to being abused, everyone should experience what it is like to have a police department that is there to protect and serve them.

Salute,

Bambu, read about Kelly Thomas, he was a homeless mentally ill White man who the police beat to death right at the train station in front of a huge crowd, there are many videos cause people had their phones out filming it, plus they had security cameras all over, the cops beat Kelly Thomas to death and no charges were filed, the cops all walked away free. That is not justice, justice was not done in the case of Kelly Thomas. The cops beat White people to death, and it is an issue of retraining our police, and holding them accountable. The cops are just violent assholes who need to be trained better. I am sure there are good cops, and if there are, then they need to agree that the cops should have went to prison for beating Kelly Thomas to death.

Salute,

Tony V.

Injustice for one is injustice for all.

Keep marching.

Marlon Brando, and Paul Newman, and all of those guys marched with Martin Luther King Jr.

And God gave us the ARTS to march with.

One idea is to bring the issue to the television show "Walker Texas Ranger" and write a case like what happened with Kelly Thomas into the show, and Walker can choose to be a good cop and support justice, he can struggle with knowing the bad cops committed murder and should be punished, while at the same time there is the Gang of Blue and their internal Code. They need to have a White cowboy like Kelly Thomas so the show does not become about racism, they can have a homeless mentally ill White victim of police abuse to inspire discussion.

And I need to get my poetry book published and my movie made, I have lots of good stuff in my material, then everything will open up for more stuff in the future.

Anyhow, they can bring important issues to television shows to inspire discussion in homes. I would like to find a good wife to produce with, and to write with, and maybe buy Universal, that would be great, and we could change the world.

Salute,

Tony V.

I support the philosophy of Henry David Thoreau when it comes to improving human rights. And Gandhi, and the Abolitionist Poets, and Maya Angelou, and Hugh Hefner, and Cesar Chavez, and Jesus Christ. Etc.

Rioting, burning, and looting, is not the way to deal with human rights, and during the Watts Riots the City of Burbank passed out military rifles to the citizens of Burbank in case the riots came to Burbank, they almost had a race war.

Destroying America and burning America to the ground is not the way to save America, and violence does not justify violence. We need to rise above the violence.

And good movies can help America, etc.

I support a path of non violence, and blessed are the peacemakers.

While at the same time we must have justice for all, and we must have justice to have peace.

Salute,

Tony V.

The Italian actor and comedian Roberto Benigni tells crowds in St Peter's Square that the Sermon on the Mount is "the only sensible thing I've ever heard in my life."

I love the movie that Benigni did, "Life is Beautiful." I would love to work with him sometime in the future, maybe at Cinecitta in Rome, we will see.

The cops kill White people too, they killed a guy at the train station, the cops beat him to death, Kelly Thomas, they beat him to death in front of a crowd of people and they got it all on film and yet the cops all went free, no charges.

Then with George Floyd which happened way over in Minnesota, the assholes bring the riot to my home in Anaheim, California, we did not have shit to do with George Floyd, and the scumbags just wanted to riot and burn and loot.

I was in Battle Mountain, Nevada, when the Rodney King bullshit happened, the people in Nevada hate California.

Of note, back during the Watts Riots the City of Burbank passed military rifles to all of the citizens of Burbank to defend Burbank if the riots came to Burbank, they almost had a race war.

And we need to put our best people on Offense, not Defense, Walt Disney was working his magic and not the guard at the gate. The cops, guards, border patrol, etc, are not creating anything, they are not doing anything. While public service with the police department, etc, serves society, it is not manufacturing anything or creating wealth. And it is just like when they say they want to win the hearts and minds, but then all they send is soldiers with guns, you cannot win hearts and minds with guns. You need teachers, and preachers, and stars, and entertainers, like Dolly Parton and Willie Nelson, they can win hearts and minds. And feed hungry children, that will win hearts and minds.

Bambu, Louisiana is a great state, and they still have some people there who speak French, and they have the French culture. The ports in New Orleans are very important, and we roast and grind coffee beans from Colombia in New Orleans, etc. New Orleans would be a great place for the new immigrants from Colombia, and trade can be expanded between New Orleans and Colombia. ( Of note, New Orleans used to bring in huge ships full of all WOMEN because the West was full of men with no women, so New Orleans brought in all women to make up for the lack of women. And they had French Prostitutes, etc. Men would travel from all over to New Orleans because New Orleans had women there. ) And New Orleans has lots of seafood, etc, it is a place of plenty. My family lived in Mena, Arkansas, that whole part of the nation is a good spot, and Arkansas has Tyson Foods, etc. And New Orleans can use a new coat of paint, etc, and they can clean things up.

And we need SCHOOLS all over America, and LIBRARIES, and we need to teach our people how to read, etc. We need literacy programs like what Famous Amos used to do, Famous Amos sold cookies and he used the money to teach people how to read.

And Kiwanis International, UNICEF, the United Nations, and Pope Francis, need to keep doing good things, and the Peace Corps, etc. And Father Boyle and Homeboy Industries.

Salute,

Tony V.

Central Park NYC is under attack from the bad people...robbing visitors of their wallets and phones.
Women running there at midnight are being robbed, maybe assaulted...not sure about the 'assaulted' part.
Many attacks committed by thugs on gas/petrol mopeds.
Illegal to ride those in the Park...but it's just open slather, do whatever you like.
Police patrols are being increased.
When the police patrols increase, the crime in the Park decreases. Same with the subway, police patrols increase, the crime decreases. Cops go way, the crime increases.

I look forward to visiting Central Park someday, and I want to go to the Russian Tea Room, etc. And Little Italy, and Broadway, and to the Metropolitan Opera, and to the Ballet, New York is fun if you have money.

And Rudy did a good job at cleaning up New York City, with the Broken Window Theory etc. Rudy cleaned up New York, and he brought the tourists back, etc.

In Monte Carlo, and in Cannes, they do not have crime because they have body guards all over and security all over, and I suppose New York and Central Park would be the same with lots of Body Guards and Security Guards, etc, along with the cops, etc.

I have also seen videos of concerts in Central Park, etc, I for sure want to see New York someday.

I hope they address their crime issues and make it nice for the tourists, etc.

Young US missionaries, religious leader killed by gang in Haiti

#####

Looks like Haiti is another good place for White Christians to stay out of.

There's just no helping some people. You try, and pay with your life.
Rambo [4] also showed it clearly.

Sly is a cool guy, I guess he hangs out in Lancaster, California, sometimes and eats at Crazy Otto's and is friends with the owner, Scott, and Scott also opened a Crazy Otto's in Manhattan, in New York City. I took a creative writing class with Scott, he is a cool guy. I think Sly lives in Beverly Hills. He has a beautiful family, and Sophia attended USC and got her degree from the school of Journalism.

I had a History Professor from Haiti, Professor Marks Ellis, and she is a great teacher, she teaches at Columbia now in New York I think, she would be great to teach on television.

And the best way to reach people in dangerous areas is to preach on television and on radio, like Dr Charles Stanley with In Touch Ministries, and Robert Schuller with Hour of Power, etc, we need to broadcast good Christians onto their televisions and radios. And show them all good healthy stuff on their televisions. In Haiti, in China, in Russia, in the Middle East, etc, we need to broadcast good Christian broadcasting. And also Mister Rogers for the children, and Sesame Street, etc.

We also need to get the children away from the war zones, they can take the children and their families to the Kiwanis Village in Victoria, British Columbia, etc.

Of note, El Salvador is giving free citizenship to refugees, etc, including to homeless people from Hong Kong, and from Taiwan, and from China, etc.
