Alarming News: Trump's 'Advisors' at Fox & Friends tell him who to choose for Chief of Staff
Wednesday, December 12, 2018
Want to know what happens to your mail when you write to your Senator or Congressman?
As a former intern for a United States Senator, I can tell you exactly what happens when you write to a congressperson. One of my key intern duties was sorting the mail.
Every day a big stack of mail came in. And every day my fellow interns and I sorted it. Sorting the mail meant giving each piece of mail to the appropriate congressional staff member.
To give you some context, this is the hierarchy of a typical U.S. Senate office:
- The Senator (and yes, every Senator is the Senator in their own office)
- The Chief of Staff (kind of like the CEO, rockstar #2 of the office)
- The Legislative Director (the guy in charge of advancing legislation)
- Assistant Legislative Director (the guy behind the guy)
- Legislative Aides (aka LA's, the top level of regular staff)
- Legislative Correspondents (aka LC's, the bottom level of regular staff)
- Interns (we worked 10 hours a day for free!)
The mail, which was almost always addressed to the Senator, was typically handled entirely at levels 5–7.
Pro tip: call and get the names of the people at levels 2–4, then address your mail directly to one of them. But they're busy, so make it good!
I, as an intern, opened and read the mail. The first decision I made was whether it would go to a legislative aide or a legislative correspondent.
If the mail was written by a company or organization, it would go to an LA. Now these legislative aides actually got to speak with the Senator about their policy areas somewhat regularly. Some of them were even in their 40's and 50's!
If the mail was written by a regular person, known as a constituent, it would go to an LC. That is the entry level position for paid staff, typically a first job out of college. The upper age range was mid 20's. There is little opportunity to influence the Senator from this position.
Pro tip: if you are self-employed, write your letter on company letterhead and frame it in terms of your business, so that your letter will reach a legislative aide.
A regular constituent would write a letter. Based on that, I knew that it should go to an LC. Each LC and LA are assigned different subjects, or policy areas. I, the lowly intern, would read the letter just long enough to figure out the subject. Once I knew that, I knew which LC should receive it, and I put it in his or her pile of mail.
So for example, let's say you write a letter about immigration. Jane is the lucky LC who has been assigned the topic of immigration. I put your letter on Jane's desk.
Jane adds your letter to her large stack of letters. Jane will read your letter and determine whether you are for or against immigration. No, Jane will not be considering the nuances of what you wrote, such as being for legal immigration, but against illegal immigration.
When she finally gets to your letter, Jane will read it just long enough to determine which side of the issue you are on, so that you receive the form letter intended for people who agree with you.
Pro tip: write about an obscure topic. That way, there might not already be a form letter, and your letter could actually cause the staff and Senator to formulate a position on the issue!
Next, Jane will print out and mail your form letter to you, along with the dozens or hundreds of similar letters that will go out that day. Thank you so much for writing. Constituent letters like yours are very important, and I always love hearing from the people of our great state. Sincerely, your Senator.
Yeah, about that "signature" on your letter… We didn't even use a signature stamp. The form letters were printed out with the blue signature of the Senator already on it!
Your letter never made it anywhere near your Senator or Representative. Think about it. For a Senate office, there are about 10 LC's whose job consists almost entirely of what I just described Jane doing. Even the LC's and interns don't have time to read everybody's letters, let alone the actual Senators!
And here's another little secret—a lot of Senate and Congressional offices don't even keep track of how many people write or call them on different sides of the issue!
We didn't!
I remember answering the phone and a guy telling me what he thought about an issue, and then telling me to add him to the list. I just said ok. I didn't have the heart to tell him that there was no list.
I will say that calls and letters that are part of an organized campaign can potentially be effective. Even if a Congressperson's office is not keeping a tally, if the phones are ringing off the hook and mail is flooding in for a few days, someone is going to tell them about that. And if they don't already have a strongly held position on the issue, a barrage of calls and letters could very well make the difference.
Pro tip: write or call your elected representatives as part of an organized group effort, not as an individual on an ad hoc basis. Better yet, be the one to organize the group!
So is there any point in writing to your Congressperson? With the exception of the above tips, probably not if your goal is to actually influence what they will do.
But you can write them to get a real autographed picture, or a big U.S. flag that may or may not have been flown over the Capitol!
And if you are going to be traveling to D.C., call their office ahead of time and you and your family or group can get a free guided tour of the U.S. Capitol, provided by some lucky intern!
Even the little underground train from your Senator's office building to the Capitol is a pretty cool ride!

Thank God for Randy Rainbow, who can still find humor in the Master of Disaster now occupying our nation's White House. It's amazing to consider that all the things Randy sings about are actual events/stories/happenings taking place with the President of our country (!). Donald Trump is our President--to our everlasting shame!
Here are more Randy Rainbow video satirical parodies on Trump. We oh-so-much need the laughs to balance our tears:

UFO analysis in 1991 by Steven Greer
A comprehensive analysis of the UFO phenomenon, as well as original research and experiences of members of the CSETI CE-5 Initiative Working Group, has enabled us to make some specific conclusions about UFOs, Extraterrestrial Intelligence and their motives. The summation of this analysis, which follows, is intended to assist both groups and individuals in their efforts to understand this complex subject. We have recorded only those conclusions for which we have a high level of certainty.
GENERAL CONCLUSIONS
Some UFOs are extraterrestrial spacecraft (ETS) which are piloted by extraterrestrial biological entities (EBEs) who originate on another planet, and most likely another star system.
More than one extraterrestrial civilization is represented in the current activities involving Earth.
These extraterrestrial civilizations are working in concert and not competitively, although there is some specialization in function and activities for the various groups. This indicates that there exists either an emerging or well established organization for these groups.
These beings have bases within this solar system and may maintain temporary bases on Earth, particularly under water.
While various reports and speculations exist, we cannot at this time definitely state which planets or star systems are the home systems for these beings. Any specific information on this subject is very likely to be incorrect due to the security considerations of these beings. That is, given human tendencies towards war, aggression and violence, open disclosure of their planets of origin would put these planets at potential risk should human military interests unravel the energy and propulsion technology of their craft.
The variety in sizes and shapes of ETs observed is due to:
a) varying civilizations of origin, and more importantly,
b) specialization of function, which include general reconnaissance, medical research, central command and base operations, energy generation and transfer, and human technology, military and space program research and reconnaissance.Sudden and fully open contact with human civilization has been avoided because of a number of interrelated factors, including:
a) the need to avoid an untimely disruption of Earth civilization including military, political, geopolitical, cultural, economic, technological and religious upheaval;
b) risks to their own civilization and 'people', as well as overall mission, given human xenophobia and tendencies towards violent armed reactions.
c) up to this time, such massive and open contact has not been necessary, and has not been consonant with their overall long-term mission and purpose (see below "The Question of Intent"), since their purpose is not acquisition oriented or disruptive.A plan is in place to allow for gradually broader and deeper contact with human society and individuals so that humans may become accustomed to the reality of other intelligent beings in the universe, and so that needed research and observation may take place on both sides. Limited but increasing opportunities for bilateral and human initiated contact will occur in the reasonably near future.
Sudden and large scale contact will occur only in the event of a significant world-wide emergency (man-made or natural).
While ETI observation and interaction with Earth is probably an ancient as opposed to purely modern phenomenon, the marked increase in activity coinciding with World War II and the dawning of the 'nuclear age' indicates that ETI are quite concerned about this transitional stage of human social evolution. They are particularly concerned about human nuclear weapons and technology and their potential for world-wide destruction, and possibly for their potential threat to ETI, although this is nominal. These beings are further concerned with our peaceful transition to a world society, international peace, and the establishment of a just, effective and representative world government, expected to occur within 10 to 15 years or less.
ETI technology is strictly guarded by both ETI and human governmental agencies because of its potential for military applications which would greatly threaten world security. It is imperative that this technology not found significant human applications until such time as the Earth attains international peace and an effective world government.
The US government, at least at the level of a highly compartmentalized above top secret group, has known about the reality of these ETS and their occupants since at least 1947. A strict secrecy and a world-wide cover-up of these facts have been maintained due to:
a) fear of public panic and social disruption
b) security issues surrounding possible military and technology applications of ETI technology, especially in the setting of a world beset with Cold War tensions and competing interests. c) uncertainty and mistrust regarding ETI motives and ultimate intentions.
d) embarrassment and consternation over human military inability to secure world air space from repeated penetrations by ETS
e) embarrassment and loss of face resulting from disclosures concerning how this matter has been handled, such as the harassment and ridicule of innocent civilians and military personnel, the withholding of information from the public and Congress, etc.The US government possesses several ETS and the deceased bodies of several EBEs. While there is evidence to strongly suggest that these agencies are attempting to reverse-engineer these craft, such efforts have not been functionally successful, although a number of secondary and partial 'discoveries' have resulted from this research.
The nature or 'reality' of these craft and these beings has been incorrectly characterized by some as belonging to 'another dimension or reality' from this dimension. Unfortunately, these statements are made without fully considering what 'this reality' is. A more correct understanding of this is that the Full Spectrum of Reality is a singular, integrated one which may be perceived wholly or in its various aspects, such perception being entirely dependent on the level of consciousness of the perceiver. The various aspects or 'dimensions' of this reality, which are limitless in number, are not restricted to or by time and space as we know it commonly. These beings and their craft belong to the same Reality as humans, however their advancement in the realms of physical science and the science of consciousness has given them competence in a broader aspect of the Full Spectrum of Reality than is usually experienced by humans. The difference, then, is one of degree and not fundamental reality, since humans potentially have access to all aspects of the Full Spectrum of Reality just as extraterrestrial beings do. These differences are not insurmountable, nor are they truly fundamental; in fact they are relative and only temporary. While these beings are utilizing and experiencing a broader aspect of the Full Spectrum of Reality, so too can and will humans, for we are as 'inter-dimensional' by nature as they…
ETS energy and 'propulsion'(or space transfer) systems utilize principles and laws of the physical universe not yet fully appreciated by human science, and include:
a) gravity/anti-gravity and electromagnetic/gravity technology b) space energy and so-called hyperdimensional energy systems
c) matter-energy inter-changeable technologies
d) possible Consciousness Assisted Technology(CAT) and Technology Assisted Consciousness(TAC)Some if not all EBEs have advanced mental capabilities which include telepathy, precognition, remote viewing and others, indicating that they have developed the 'science of consciousness' to a degree which parallels or surpasses their advanced physical technologies. Humans also possess these capabilities, but these remain largely undeveloped by most humans.
EBEs are more developed or advanced than humans in a number of respects, but are not superior to humans as beings. Our point of unity and equality with EBEs is in our mutual existence as conscious intelligent beings.
While these various EBEs may have values and priorities which are different from those of some 20th century humans, their motives and ultimate intentions are non-hostile and do not include the acquisition or subjugation of the Earth or its peoples (see below, "The Question of Intent").
The establishing of a lasting world peace and a just and effective world government is essential to the long term ETI-human relationship.
THE QUESTION OF INTENT
While not minimizing the strange and startling aspects of this phenomenon which some humans have experienced, our assessment of these visitors' motives and ultimate intentions, is that they are decidedly non-hostile. Their primary operations and activities center around:
General reconnaissance of Earth and her societies
Military(especially nuclear) observation and assessment
Human social and psychological study and observation
Human medical, physiological and genetic research and observation
Observation and assessment of human mental and spiritual development
Earth ecology research and documentation, including documentation of Earth life systems, and mineral, plant, and animal specimens
Observation of human technology and technological developments
Observation, active monitoring and if necessary limitation of human space programs, particularly those directed towards the nationalistic colonization of space
Close and active monitoring of international conflicts and international relations
Careful interaction with humans to convey certain information about themselves and to accustom humans to their presence
Our assessment is that these activities are derived from several ultimate motives, which include:
Pure study and research of a rapidly developing intelligent species(human) during a time of transition to a world community
A needed increase in ETI knowledge of world societies and human nature preparatory to future significant interaction, which will be mutual in nature, and which will eventually culminate in the introduction of Earth civilization into an inter-planetary network(this may require several centuries to complete)
Preparatory activities for continued readiness in the event that intervention is required during a major world emergency, such as a large scale nuclear war; such interventions would be in the protective form of –
a) interception and destruction of Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles (ICBMs)
b) alteration of missile coordinates and readiness
c) emergency Earth based activities when and where warrantedThe minimum intervention necessary would be used, with the intention being the preservation of Earth as an inhabitable planet with adequate human resources remaining to sustain intelligent life here.
Emergency intervention in the event of an environmental or geological catastrophe of world wide dimensions
Preservation of Earth species, including human genetic preservation and/or augmentation as a precaution in the event of a worst case scenario (see above).
Protection of space from hostile or military utilization by human national interests.
ETI self-protective interests, insofar as humans have a strong recent history of coupling marked aggressiveness with rapid technological development; in this setting, monitoring and perhaps even limiting human capabilities may be important to ETI security – Human evolution to world peace, non-aggression and a world government would remove this motive as well as several of the motives listed above
ETI short and long time goals related to the attainment of a significant human paradigm shift from one of fragmentation/separation to one of unity, to include the unity of science and religion, world political and eventual spiritual unity, and universal unity. This paradigm shift is dependent on the development of human consciousness, which is of particular interest to ETI.
The preservation and advancement of intelligent life in the universe.
