Farewell to Kmart. Shopping at Kmart used to be a socially-viable institution. A kind of homage to Super Walmarts of America.

I remember (happily) back in my childhood of memories of people in Champaign (Illinois) going to KMart as a form of socially-accepted household shopping. As I read from the article, the Kmart stores began back in 1962. Growing up many people were not embarrassed to say that they got their discount stuff at KMart and there was no shame in saying publicly that this or that was bought at a Kmart. Later on, in the 80's, Kmart became a kind of slur word implying lower class and/or ghetto (also increasing in poverty status in the 90's). I stopped hearing any reference to Kmart once the Walmart explosion altered the American household shopping scene. Then there were a plethora of SUPER WALMARTS.

I had to rely on walking over one mile to a Super Walmart back when I lived in Pensacola after the terrorist organization forced a potentially deadly car crash in a "freak" sick accident that included a migrant worker literally using a grass blower taking the instrument as he blew grass from the side of a busy road I was driving upon to blow dirt directly into my windshield as the terrorist driving the car right in front of me stopped dead in the middle of the road, causing my car to be smashed so badly I had to completely scrap it at the junk yard. The terrorists had also broken my seat belt the week prior to this terror incident thus trying to literally murder me. This happened on my very first day in Grad School at the University of Florida in Pensacola.
I thus had to walk over one mile in that condition to be able to buy food from the terror operation apartment building which I had signed a contract in order to attend grad school. Asides from that:

I discovered that Super Walmarts are an all-in-one life-saving choice for shopping if you do not have a car, if you can't drive to multiple places and the quality of the items is not as flimsy as in Kmart clothing and products (but Kmart was acceptable and often extremely good quality). Yet Walmarts, in particular Super Walmarts, although deemed a kind of working class symbol of grass-munching consumerism, are extremely incredible for people who are in the position I was forced into (also no bus service provided adequate access, as buses lumbered down this one-mile stretch at a once per hour pace, which made shopping very arduous and getting anywhere past 6 pm impossible).


Still, a way of living is now almost dead. The last remnants remain in Illinois of this former shining blue light special (or was that the red light special-) of the Kmart universe. RIP to another memory of having grown up in Illinois.

Ameica really needs those ole Kmart "Dollar Days" back: (don't miss Martha Stewart claiming that "class is imagination and not how much you spend" line for the first commercial filmed back when she looked like a completely different homemaker, promoting places like Kmart which were considered "chic" but not expensive by the advertising campaign reps and some American people as well.: But when I was growing up even at the beginning of the Kmart empire, shopping at Kmart was not a sign of consumer chich it was considered working class and/or lower class even back in it's heyday.

Social Security Fraud/crime against me: it's not exactly a "one-way street" but it's more akin to a bicycle lane without barriers next to a 6-lane one-way expressway and Tesla Trucks veering into the bicycle lane I am solitarily peddling as fast with flat tires on to save my life.//(Muck had trucks nearly hit and smash me to death just as he was handed this tech with Amber Heard once she and Depp finished their 2+years of teleportation rape and torture of me, the spawn included--afterwards, after stealing my ideas I wrote endlessly about Domestic violence which Heard stole but fumbled, of course, like them all, turning "woke into a joke" she returned to assault me 2 years later after a month of near-hits by cars---and more cars hitting me under the last Trump administration obviously under muck et al//now they have used Social Security to destroy me (literal threat to my life and survivability with serious life-threatening threats looming due to this well-planned and executed attack using my SSI Disability, my one and only anchor on this planet they have taken away but it was criminal in how they conducted the situation which CAN BE REVERSED IF ONLY PEOPLE WOULD DEFEND ME AND GIVE SOME RELIEF TO THIS AND ALL THESE SITUATIONS TO STOP MORE OF THE TERRORISTS FROM COMING TO POWER--but to continue--Listening to "live" Senator Cory Booker on the tube---he's mentioning how SSI recipients (I am one) give permission for that agency, in Field Office interviews, to access the bank account where payments are direct deposited. I only gave permission for the agent to gain access that one account, after he asked me if I gave permission to access the direct deposit account. A few days later screaming on the phone he yelled that he saw my other account and boy, I had gone over yelling as I was "frozen" by mind control and also his behavior, for any sort of response that defended myself against his railing yelling abuse, warranted more abuse and threats which he could have done. I did not give him permission to access any other accounts. This is why he sent me a letter 2 weeks later stating my benefits are reinstated and my "overpayment" was due to a 2002 situation I had resolved in another interview 20 years ago. Adding $400 to the overpayment from 2002 and then stating my benefits are reinstated (deducting $10 per month from the already $10 deduction) I had to check on the SSA website to see if my benefits had been reinstated. They had not. I waited for another letter as Mr. Melle told me that he would send a letter, screaming with violence and then sneering with absolute hate and contempt to "have a nice day" like a schoolyard kid screaming and making fun of that ubiquitous use of pleasantry that Americans use (Mr. Melle is "Latino"). He sent nothing else, and still there is no other information about how to reinstate the benefits. But firstly, Cory Booker stated in the speech on the Senate Floor regarding the Muck Dog cutting of Social Security that people in interviews only give permission to access the direct deposit account. With all the lies, did they have any legal right or entitlement to access ALL my records with the bank when I had only given access to one single account? Furthermore, besides that discrepancy, there is nothing in writing about this. He told me to come in person (he "suggested" using a sneering contemptuously expressed example of coming to the Field Office direct in person to pay with Cashier's Check or Money order ALL MONEY IN MY BANK ACCOUNT to him personally, made-out to the Social Security Administration. Yelling that he would send me a letter detailing what to do before my benefits would be reinstated. //2 more weeks went by and now a month later no letter only benefits cut off. I phoned 2 weeks ago, was told that Mr. Melle is "in the wrong department he was not supposed to give the interview you have to have another interview". Mr. Melle sent me the paperwork on the interview, the phone call I was supposed to receive never came. I phoned the office on the day of interview (Feb. 27) and reached for the 2nd time of phoning that field office the same person (the answering is in rotation for whomever is available in a random answering ciruclation) and Mr. Melle told me he could "do the interview" and thusly, it turned into what is some kind of extortion but---no way to resolve this only to have another interfview where they could really screw more up. My situation is not a "normal" situation I am a gang stalking target of multiple murder attempts torture rape using these technologies--no one will help me so no one can help me provide evidence thusly no one cares to help me provide evidence because "everyone" is benefitting from this 4th Reich system being promoted gets a huge free deal gets to get their sleazy hormonal release from torturing and beating abusing stealing ideas life force energy they are just sucking in all they can get out of me, this contract no one will intervene. I am stuck with no way to have any incoming money as a result. The internet is continuously hacked and blocked earning is impossible. My family is involved. The U.S. Government is involved. Most governments around the world are involved where I am now is absolutely involved. So, I told the Field Office after they tried to force another interview on me, the woman on the phone was so rushed she was stumbling over her breathless words trying to force another phone appointment on me. I told her for the 3rd time that the interview had been conducted but I need a letter stating what I have to do to have benefits reinstated. She told me Mr. Melle is on "2-week" vacation will send a message to him to complete the interview. //They have forced me to have to flee my life in one place in order to survive life on this planet and everywhere i go the same poison is poured injected and pumped into my body from one vehicle of transmission or another. The same death system of attack is the same, performed with MURDEROUS violence by groups of "normal" citizens every single place on the planet. I am stuck with no way to have any money coming in. If I leave this place I have learned to barely barricade myself into so they can't put my hips and spine out of alignment any longer after raping me, putting semen and fungus into my body, hair and fungus and mold into my food my furniture my clothing destroying clothing shoes backpacks on a routine basis making my jackets I drive in stinking so the smell never comes off (using laboratory-created staining/absorption substances laced with putrid other expulsion substances--muck and filth) and ec. I need to retain an income I deserve the sub-poverty disability and much more from the group from Whorewood just from years of them stealing my ideas and trying to paralyze and kill me and then destroying my life my chances to earn money so they can just latch on forever, literally forever onto abusing me as a life sentence of slow abuse, rape sex slavery to death-- a situation that scores of Congressional leaders have rushed to join in, screaming with murderous violence because I am fighting for my life and not just willingly allowing these murder operations to o on for their mutual profit--all of them together everyone gets some free deal out of it plus dumping their hate on someone else and feeding off it and then hormonal highs of he addiction to violence and torture they all have.//With the Muck Dog-Redrum group feeding off Social Security, now all the lies are just part of a huge outcry of desperation from the "losers" who are not life-screwing operators feeding off lies and violence in order to obtain the positions in the "leadership" which is now openly criminal but so many are screaming and as usual no one ever stops them or helps me. I am thusly in a life-threatening situation. A team of people who have poisoned and followed me around the planet, literally, to continue to make as many people abuse, attack and poison rape abuse with extreme violence in every living situation with the exact same protocols followed around the planet--they are there waiting for me to have absolutely no self-defense as the SSI was all I could do. SIX YEARS of graduate studies and they just poisoned me with creeps pumping the poison into my body through both teleportation and poisoning drugging of my body and food while the terrorists broke into my home every day and night while I was drugged sleeping and fighting their MURDER DEATH from poisoning and torture--doing whatever they wanted, making my body broken down as he are still doing--and I will have no way to protect myself from murder any longer if I have to move and have zero way to have money coming in. Members of my family whose children have not abused and tortured me all my life but are waiting to profit off it rushed to join in, with the Whorewood group recently as they have all coordinated to cut my money off so my family can join in as they always do, now openly that Muck and T-rump have made fascist Nazism open and not disguised as it has been for so many decades under the "Democrat liberals" but at least I could rely on my monthly benefits which I do deserve and much more from this endless death threat and theft and attacks--considered a CRIME I HAVE COMMITTED TO DEFEND MYSELF by top politicians in Congress treated like a fun game by Whorewood scumbag inc and treated like a mental disorder by police considered an extortion bonanza by the Little River Social Security Field Office and considered a "fun game" by dirty Muck who had cars hitting me when he and Trump first obtained the teleportation equipment and this contract out on me, putting them in the powerful positions but they are still under the control and imperatives of a collective of fascist Nazism around the globe (America is not first on their agenda, trust me)..
