Truth Bomb by OVD : Food and the East Oakland Collective

Image
 Hey everyone,   So a few folks recommended I check out the East Oakland Collective. They deliver food and meals to disabled and old folks for free here in East Oakland. They made their first delivery to me today and I was amazed. It was good quality food and even snacks. I should be getting them on average once every two weeks. They will definitely help my food budget. Most of those free food places give you crap food a dog wouldn't eat so I'm always hesitant but I'm very happy with this delivery. It even had some cleaning supplies and TP, paper towels and Masks. If you know anyone in East Oakland that is disabled and struggling I highly recommend the try the East Oakland Collective. Those that donate to charities this is a worthy one. https://www.eastoaklandcollective.com/ -Otto Von Danger  SGT/USMC and Artist at Large Semper Fidelis 

Truth Bomb by OVD : Science deniers and the Silver Lining

Image
 Hey Everyone,   So the Delta Variant of Covid-19 is sweeping across the United States and the world. It's bad enough the World Health Organization(WHO) has issued a statement saying even vaccinated folks should wear masks. Israel and many Nations have made new mask mandates as Delta is even killing vaccinated folks(very small numbers by still alarming). Delta is way easier to spread and much deadlier.    Our CDC has said vaccinated people can go mask-less and are safe, but this is a politicized move to get people to vaccinate and go back to work/school and a lie. The US CDC is no longer a source of reliable information. Trump politicized it and Biden continues to do so too. Anyone using the CDC as a reference or source should not be trusted.    The other big news about Covid is the United States has hit a wall of people not willing to vaccinate. We won't make herd immunity because of it. meaning Covid-19 will be around a long time and we will need yearly booster shots like the

Truth Bomb by OVD : Climate Change and the end of life on our planet

Image
Hey Everyone,   So the Pacific Northwest is experiencing record breaking temperatures in the 105-115 degrees(F) range. A town in Northern Russia above the arctic circle hit 118 degrees(F). Floods and storms are happening around the world. Moscow went from a 110 degree's to a mass flood in a day. And the Fires and Hurricanes are here too. There are no excuses left. Climate Change is here and it will get rapidly worse. A lot of Climate Change Scientists are saying we have about 9 years until all life on the planet is basically gone.    Even if we went full green over night we'd probably lose half of life on the planet. Yet we aren't doing squat. In fact carbon emissions are growing not shrinking. 2020's pandemic helped a little. but not enough to matter at all. This infrastructure bill is worthless as it has almost NO green energy. What's the point of new roads if we are all dead? I'm not trying to be an alarmist. I'm just stating the facts. The kids alive tod

Truth Bomb by OVD : The History of the FrogBat

Image
 FrogBat 2006-Present   I have notoriously bad birthdays. I was divorced on my Bday. I've had GF's leave me on my Bday and I found out my daughter had been murdered on my Bday to name a few examples. So in 2006(May 31) the gal I was seeing at the time...Kat that runs Burning Man's servers(Computer) talked me into going to the Frog Pond Hot springs with some close friends. It was a good Bday. We shot propane canisters and had steaks cooked on an open fire and hung out in the clean hot springs(they get nasty around July 4th). We were finished shooting and sitting around the fire cooking steaks and drinking whiskey. It was dusk so the Frog's and local Bats came out to eat the bugs and Kat who is French with a German accent said "We should shoot those Frogs & Bats" but it sounded like FrogBat's. So I replied...You don't want to shoot the FrogBats as they eat the bugs and when they get bigger they eat the hippies(modern version...bums). Metric then repl

Truth Bomb by OVD : Personal Update

Image
 Hey Everyone,   So I've started hanging art back up. I'm about half way done. It's going slow do to a new surge in pain. I spent yesterday and most of today in bed. I'm out of edibles so I'm using the pain pills that screw with my body and help less with the pain and mood than the edibles. But I did receive a bag and jar of roaches from Sam. My friend fighting cancer in the hospital. There are well over 30 strains in these roaches and I busted half of them up to roll joints and man they are really good. Locals(Oakland) if you swing by my place I'll hook you up with one. They are helping with my mood.    Also I'm watching the Covid-19 Delta variant sweep across America. The Anti-science people are about to get hit hard as it's so bad even vaccinated folks should use caution and masks when around unvaccinated or "unknown status" groups of people. I'm confident we vaccinated folks will get a booster shot available soon to help fight Delta. Ev

Truth Bomb by OVD : July 4th, Wildfires and Covid-19 Delta Variant

Image
 Hey Everyone,   So we're coming up on July 4th and the summer is here. I hope all of you have a safe a fun summer. A few things you should be aware of...massive Drought and the Covid-19 Delta variant.    Because of Climate Change many area's in the world and America are experiencing massive droughts. We already have fires burning here in California but I suspect this year it will hit most of the country. So if you are camping be extra careful with camp fires and if celebrating be careful with fireworks. It would be really easy to start a massive fire accidentally and the fires these days are burning down towns and small cities...you wouldn't want that on your conscious. If you do either make sure the area you are in isn't flagged for fire warnings and is safe. Bring a fire extinguisher and at least one shovel(dirt puts fire out better than water). Also check with the locals daily to see what's happening in that area. you don't want to get caught out in the bush

Truth Bomb by OVD : Crime and how it's easily eliminated without police

Image
 Hey Everyone,   So tonight's topic is crime. What it's route causes are and what can be done to actually reduce crime. In reality most crime is done out of desperation. Poverty is the number one reason for high crime levels. Most poor are working poor. Meaning they have jobs but the job doesn't pay enough to live on. People that are desperate or hungry will do things they wouldn't normally do to get out of that state. When you add the effects of generational poverty then you will get gang and higher level street crime. again...the route cause is poverty.    Before the War on Drugs started by Nixon and amplified by Reagan, then Clinton and Biden's 1990's crime bill, the average amount of prisoners in State and Federal Penitentiaries was 150.000 to 200,000 a year. Actual criminals like Rapists and murderers and bank robbers. Now with the "War on Drugs" and the Crime bill the US is pushing 3 million prisoners. That was NOT caused by an increase of crime

Truth Bomb by OVD : Treason, Sedition and the failure of the DOJ

Image
 Hey everyone,   So on Jan 6th 2020 we had an insurrection and attempted COUP. Thousands of Trump supporting, Nazis, White supremist's and Christian Fanatics attacked and took over most of our Nations Capital. Their goal was to murder Democratic Law makers and a few republicans like VP Mike Pence and over throw American Democracy to keep Donald Trump in office even though he clearly lost the election. The where persuaded to do so by Trump and republican Law makers such as Senators  Hawley and Cruz and many more. The conspiracy even reached the DoD where the National Guard was delayed from coming to the rescue.  These Treasonous Seditionists attacked the Capital Police and forcibly entered the Capital. they then defiled our nations capital building with destruction and even human waste.   So far about 500 people have been charged but with mostly low level charges like illegal protesting and tress passing. Not one politician that inspired and set up this COUP attempt has charged yet.

Truth Bomb by OVD : Personal update

Image
 Hey everyone,   If anyone is even still reading this...My feeling of isolation is getting bad. Really bad. Being cut off from Facebook was bad enough. I haven't heard from a lot of friends from real life for more than a year now. Twitter helped and I made some new friends and was able to connect to a bunch of fellow Veterans. That's gone now too. So now I kind of drift from day to day with little to no contact with the outside world. It's demoralizing to say the least. I'm down right depressed and don't see any future for myself anymore. I've always been a very social person and now I have no way to reach anyone but this and the numbers of people that even read this anymore has dwindled to a couple. Soon I'll probably stop bothering with this either.    My pain levels are through the roof. I got only an hour of sleep last night(and why I'm typing this at 5 am. Pain meds and pot cookies combined didn't help. My left leg is now starting to get as bad

Otto Von Dangers Guide to surviving the Zombie Apocalypse(Preface)

Image
 The goal of this guide is to prepare you for a host of "apocalypse" level events using Zombies as fun way to understanding how to increase you chances of survival. It will gradually turn into the story of the writer actually going through the event after starting his guide. So it won't just be a list of things to do and things to have...but an actual story that hopefully entertains you all. Each section will be divided into Chapters that will be subdivided into parts. The title of each will say which chapter and part and not be listed as "Truth Bomb by OVD" for ease of finding them. I will try to put out at least one a week but some weeks I may add more.  Enjoy -Otto Von Danger

Image

An/Or an particular questions you may have in general.   It can be anything from Burning Man to the Marines...from Politics to Animals If it's simple or I don't know the subject I will answer it in comments. If it's large I will make a new Blog  entry. Ask away in comments... -Otto Von Danger

Truth Bomb by OVD : Veterans suicides, depression and my own medical situation

Image
 Hey Everyone,   This entry will cover Veteran suicides and depression and what you can do about it but I'm going to start by explaining my medical situation so you all know where I'm coming from and have to deal with to gain a better Understanding.   I have Gulf War Syndrome(GWS). It's called a syndrome because there are different factors and levels of exposure. So every case is different. The three major factors are 1) Exposure to Depleted Uranium which is a fancy way of saying Nuclear waste turned into bombs. 2) Exposure to anti-nerve agent inoculations and pills that were untested. 3) Exposure to the oil fires(this one the US Government still argues against in an attempt to defend oil).    The effects are massive nerve damage and a host of other medical issues. Eventually the pain makes your body think it's dead and starts shutting down. Most that didn't kill themselves will die of massive organ failure. I've taken nerve conduction tests that give the doctor

Truth bomb by OVD : Voting, Voting rights, solutions and alternatives

Image
 Hey Everyone, So today we will be discussing Voting rights and what can be done to fix our current system. Voting should be easy and accessible to all  voting age Americans(18+). It should be easy and have a paper trail so votes can be checked so that counts and recounts can be done easily. It is far from that currently and getting worse.     The biggest issues are Voter suppression and multiple complicated state systems. Voting machines that can be hacked, misleading ballots and access. Some Americans have to wait in line for hours just to vote. This is unacceptable and needs to be fixed but there is little to no political will to do so. The Republicans literally count on voter suppression to stay in power and Democrats try to make it impossible for third parties to get established as they would be a real threat. Voter suppression can be as blatant as closing most polls in area's were the votes would not go well for their party. It can also be secretive like taking people off of

Truth Bomb by OVD : My GoFundMe and ways to help

Image
 Hey everyone, Since I can no longer ask for help on social media I'm posting my GoFundMe here so you can reference it easy and please share it on social media. If you want to help more directly you can email me your cell number and I'll call you. Things I could use right now are 1) A office chair or two(my big Viking ass breaks them so even the fancy ones only last about 6 months) 2)  Food...I'm always needing food. Please contact me so you don't send stuff I don't need or want. 3) Meds...I can always use smokable weed and weed byproducts(Hash, cannabis oil, crumble etc), edibles( I eat about 200 mg to sleep at night or I have to use pain pills. I'd rather use edibles but the VA does NOT provide them...only opiates. 4) A decent bong...so I can ration my weed better. 5) weed grinder(nothing fancy) 6) Cloths...Sweat pants, socks and cool or interesting T-shirts. I'm 6'4" 250 lbs...so XL.  There's probably more but I don't expect anything so i

Truth Bomb by OVD : Juneteenth, platitudes, identity politics and policy

Image
Happy Juneteenth everyone,   This holiday represents the last slaves in Texas finally finding out they were freed from slavery. A worthy holiday. It will bring attention to the horrors of slavery while white supremist's  try and block teaching about it in schools. This is a good thing. But it's not near enough. it's mostly a platitude to the Black community.    What are platitudes and Identity politics? How are the used? What are the benefits and failures? Platitudes are gestures aimed at showing a group of people you noticed or care about their situation. They don't change things much in real life. they aren't policy. Examples : naming schools, creating holidays, wearing a black lives matter shirt. Identity politics are when you use a person(s) to fill a roll to show you notice and care about a group of people. Again this isn't policy and doesn't change much in real life. Example naming a female of color as your VP even though her policies are against the s

Truth Bomb by OVD : Covid-19

Image
 Hey everyone,   This episode we will look at the reality of Covid-19, what should have been done, what was done and were we are at in reality with this pandemic.    The first thing everyone should know is there is a playbook for every possible crisis including Pandemics. Every country has one. The are standard responses until more information is discovered. the Pandemic playbook goes like this (every country has slight differences, this is the basics) 1) Shut down all borders. National, state and regional. All Pandemics spread as humans move around. This needs to be stopped as much as possible. Anyone entering the country must go through testing and a quarantine( for Covid-19 15 days)   2) Set up a food and water distribution system to keep your people alive during the test and release stage.  3) Quarantine. Everyone goes home and awaits testing. Everyone will be given a government UBI and all rents and mortgages are stopped/frozen. All interest frozen until the country is cleared and

Truth Bomb by OVD : Censorship and Reality

Image
Hey everyone, Otto Von Danger here. So I decided to write a Blog as both Facebook and Twitter have banned me permanently for speaking the truth to power. I was censored from Fascistbook for saying "Nazis are bad" in a post about WWII. And Twitter for calling out Republicans for their Treasonous rhetoric. So a few things you should know about me...I'm not in any political party in America. This Blog will only have the truth and my opinions based on the truth. I'm originally from Norway so I know that good government is possible and polices like Universal Healthcare work. Also I served in the Marines and know how the world really works. In Norway I'd be considered a centrist which means to most American I'd be considered "Left wing". There is no left wing in America...hell there isn't even a center. Both Political parties are right wing. The republicans are full on Nazi Fascist and the Democrats are Corporate Fascists. Both work exclusively for
