TRUMP WON

Color me surprised. I wrote elsewhere that I would eat a murder of crows ("murder" is the word used with this species to denote a large group - the same as "flock", but specific for crows) if Trump won.

This is one of the benefits of being a pessimist - if you are wrong, you are pleasantly surprised. No matter what happens over the next four years, it will be far, far better than four years of the Clinton Corruption. Even if there are no changes (although I anticipate quite a few), it will be better than the changes Hillary would have instituted.

We may end up with a Supreme Court which actually adheres to the U.S. Constitution.

We may end up with our borders protected against the perils of both illegal immigration and the influx of muslim jihadis into America.

We may - probably will - end up reconnecting with our former allies, strengthening those ties once again, instead of shunning them and siding with those inimical to the best interests of America. Hopefully, that will include supporting Israel against the so-called "Palestinians" (aka Hamas) and at the U.N. against damn near everyone.

We _will_ avoid a war with Russia, which is especially good, since it would also include doing the right thing in Syria, which means allowing their government to plot its own course, instead of trying to force regime change.

I fervently hope (I'd be praying if I was a religious person) that we move to shut down Iran's nuclear program. A country which continues to call for the destruction of both Israel and America has no business producing nuclear weapons. It wouldn't require regime change to affect this much-to-be-desired outcome, but it would be nice to see that happen any way - just not through our efforts. Defending ourselves and Israel - the only "democratic" government in the Middle East - is a legitimate policy to pursue, and taking down their nuclear weapons program should be a priority for Trump. He should get together with Israel and do what it takes. Whatever it takes.

Since ISIS has deposed the legitimate government of Iraq, is trying to do the same in Syria, and is conducting a wholesale slaughter of Christians and Kurds, it would be a proper thing to actually go to war with ISIS. The barbarity of their actions against all non-muslim peoples in the Middle East is cause enough, reason enough. The favor should be returned, with wholesale slaughter of these savages themselves. There is no way to redeem or rehabilitate these muslims - true, orthodox muslims, doing exactly as the qur'an commands them to do. Eradicate them, and perhaps other muslims will "see the light" and behave, even though their cult will not permit them to do much more than hide their infected minds and bodies in an attempt to escape retribution.

The next few years will be very interesting. If Trump survives possible assassination attempts (the Left is far more violent than the right - look at the Nazis [socialists] and the Communists of the old Russia/Soviet Union and China - so any attempt upon his life will originate there), what he does to restore our economy, our freedoms, our rights, and America's exceptionalism (exactly what brought so many valuable legal immigrants to our shores) will be interesting to see.

My thanks to the many millions of Americans whose votes over-rode the millions of dead people and multiple-voting socialists who attempted to elect Hillary. I'm starting to feel some new-found pride in America.

#Never Trump? Then take credit for #Nevermore America, #Nevermore Rule of Law, #Nevermore Freedom

One last shot at getting the #Never Trump crowd to wake up before it is too late. Yes, I have refused to vote for the lesser of two evils before, when it was Bill Clinton and Bush, Sr. I truly didn't see any significant difference between them, economically or politically.

This is different. Trump may be a slob, an arrogant ass, a foul-mouthed ( though NEVER as foul as Hillary to the very men and women who protected her life when she was First Bitc, er "Lady", and now as the Democrat candidate) boor, the last choice of a bunch of GOP losers, one and all (Cruz lost me when he started lying to try to get ahead ("Carson is dropping out, and  telling his people to vote for me").

THIS ISN'T ABOUT TRUMP.  This is about not helping subject America to the utter destruction and degradation of the United States of America. This is about preventing the Left from taking total control of the Supreme Court. This is about trying your damnedest to preserve the rule of law (hoping against hope that a Trump presidency will indeed see her imprisoned for all of her crimes.

This is about seeing to it that a serial child rapist, adult woman rapist, and generally sick, psychopathic bastard doesn't return to take up residence at the White House again. It's bad enough we have had eight years of a racist, race-baiting, homosexual, Alinsky-ite Communist doing his best to tear our country apart, without the further degradation of our government by showing the world we are stupid and morally decrepit enough to allow a child rapist into the White House (and don't you dare suggest that girls of 12 and 13 have sex with old men willingly, especially Epstein's underage sex slaves).

Come on, people. Save your bloody "principles" for a time when it doesn't matter as much as it does this election cycle. We may not have a chance in the face of the Left's control of the whole election apparatus, in the face of Hillary's ability to blackmail and otherwise coerce the FBI and any other group not already in the hands of the "elite", the commies and perverts and power-mongers.

Did you truly believe that Comey was having a "come-to-Jesus" moment, was trying to redeem his damaged integrity from the first pass he gave Hillary? Not on your life. He had to negate the incredible trove of email evidence obtained by the New York Police Department, evidence the U.S. Department of "Justice" threatened the NYPD into holding back, making sure it looked as if Hillary was "cleared" a final time, just before election day.

And I don't give an airborne rodent's rectum if he did it to "save our government from collapsing" because there were so many high officials, Congressmen and women, federal judges, CEOs and the premiers and presidents of a bunch of foreign countries who would have been exposed for having engaged in child rape and abuse on Epstein's plane and/or island. Along with Hillary, who went there six times that are known of, to indulge her own perverted desires.

It is almost midnight now, the night before election day. Please, if anyone who reads this is thinking of not voting for Trump, just swallow your bile, grit your teeth, and DO IT. This could be our last chance at an election that isn't pre-determined by those in power. Remember - even if Hillary is appointed rather than actually, legally elected, it might serve to temper the Left's enthusiasm if they see how many of us actually voted for Trump. Maybe it will make them understand how many might just "rise and rise again, 'til lambs become lions".

The Silicon Graybeard Blog, and Why I Am Obviously Brain-Dead

I can't believe it, but it is true. The blog called The Silicon Graybeard is the first thing I check every day I access the Internet, usually right after I check my email, but sometimes even before. The gentleman that owns the blog is incredibly bright, with such a wide variety of interests and hobbies (he is recently retired) that there is almost always a post by him that fascinates me, whether it is political, economic, social, or technical. He was an engineer in the space/aerospace industries and lives in Florida fairly close to Cape Canaveral. Two of his many hobbies are shooting, along with reloading his own ammunition - two of my personal favorites.

I neglect my own blog horribly, in the belief that there are very few people - even family and friends - who read it. Nonetheless, I happened to read an old email from Google concerning a feature they provided on blogs that are created on blogspot.com. I went to my blog to add that feature ("featured posts") and noticed - to my horror - that I either a0 never added SiG's blog to the list of those I followed, or somehow accidentally (although I don't think that is possible) deleted it. Perhaps when I deleted a couple of other blogs that were abandoned by their owners/authors several years ago (like Hell On Earth, which I really miss).

If the Graybeard ever wanders back over here (I think he visited once), I hope he reads this. No, actually I believe I will write to him (not on his blog - too embarrassing) via email, since we do exchange them from time to time.

Someday perhaps I will write about taking PPIs - proton-pump inhibitors, which reduce stomach acid (I have suffered with acid reflux and Barrett's esophagus for many years now) - and how I recently discovered that a number of serious, peer-reviewed scientific experiments have been done on them, and there is significant evidence to indicate a very strong possible (not proven yet) connection between taking PPIs and memory loss/dementia. One study (using rats, which have been used in human medical research for many, many years) showed that there was a proven link between the intake of PPIs and the beta-amyloid tangles that are indicative of Alzheimer's.

I have taken PPIs for over fifteen years, at relatively high dosages, and I exhibit short-term memory loss far earlier than is common (since my early fifties, but much worse now in my mid-sixties). I have stopped taking them, and have gone back to using H2 receptor antagonists (Zantac in particular) which does not work very well for me. However, I would rather suffer from frequent (daily) heartburn that from worsening dementia.

My oversight in not listing The Silicon Graybeard blog on my blog may simply be due to these issues. It certainly wasn't from a lack of interest or from not valuing the blog, because I do, and I recommend it to anyone who reads my pitiful excuse for a blog.

It's Not About Trump

In checking in on a young lady whose blog - Gunslinger's Journal - I read whenever possible, I saw a post where she copied and presented an article written for The American Thinker by Sally Zelikovsky titled "Trump's Invisible Shield". I liked the article well enough to step out of lurk mode and write a comment - but on Gunslinger's blog, not American Thinker.

It was just a tad too long to fit in the space allotted for a comment, so I trimmed a bit off. Since it is something dear to my heart and certainly appropriate for these few weeks remaining in what might be the last (unsuccessful) attempt at a real election, I decided to post my comment here, for the one or two people who stop by to read my pathetic scribblings. (There might have been two or three more, if I had maintained any sort of schedule instead of abandoning this blog for weeks or months at a time. Can't blame them.)

Here it is in all its gory glory, but do please read Sally's article before you waste time on this:

FWIW, (not much to anyone, save the author, perhaps) I agree. Frankly, even though I am only marginally informed about what has been taking place during this election, I have developed a respect for Trump and his willingness to stand up for what is right. I am willing to bet that whatever waffling he has engaged in was probably at the behest of his campaign staff, rather than a weakness in his principles.

I realize - from having family relations who are Democrats - that many Dems would vote for a steaming pile of bloody, wormy dog feces if it is running as a Democrat (amazing resemblance to the current candidate, don't you think?), however, there are actually Democrats - including minorities - who have tired of the constant betrayal by their Democratic "representatives", who are anything but, and they also see Trump not only as a giant "F U", but as the last hope of ever having any say in their own governance.

Sometimes I wish I wasn't a pessimist, but I would rather be pleasantly surprised than have hopes dashed by reality. I will cast a vote for Trump, who - no matter what his faults, likely no worse than those of all but the best of us - shows more character, more integrity than any of the politicians currently holding office in the White House, Congress, or sitting on the bench at the SCOTUS (and yes, they are all politicians, too, no matter they are appointed).

The Gore-Bush election will probably prove to be the last quasi-legal, real election this country experiences until such time as the citizenry grows big enough balls (or desperation) to revolt, and form a new government. I fear - truly fear - this sham has already been decided.

I believe history will show, once actual history becomes possible again, instead of lies and propaganda, that Obama was ineligible, but allowed to circumvent the Constitution by a cabal of the lowest scum in politics - Pelosi, Reid, McCain - a willing accomplice - and others, to run and be "elected" in spite of that fact. 

I believe history will show he is a half-black queer who participated in a sham marriage to a transgendered, or at least cross-dressing, person of XY chromosomes, with two adopted children whose DNA may not match either he or his tranny companion in crime.

The incredible scope of the deception he has been assisted in fostering upon the citizens of this country puts the "big lies" of Hitler and Stalin to shame. It is no wonder he and the scum who have assisted and elevated this honor-less piece of Communist filth have no respect for the rest of us. In truth I believe we had scant choice and no ability to change or resist the sick charade that was perpetrated upon us, and the manipulation of the media and most of our sources of information made questioning the whole scam a matter of "conspiracy theory" - that lovely twisting of language and logic which has been used to cover the tracks of some of the most horrendous crimes against humanity.

I doubt I will live long enough to see our situation deteriorate to the point where Americans are desperate enough to revolt, if ever. I'm afraid it is much more likely we will end up suffering like the Russians under Stalin, the Chinese under Mao, and even the cambodians under Pol Pot - who were openly massacred with almost no resistance at all. And our "Walter Mitty's Second Amendment"  won't save us. Being gun owners who fully accept that the Second Amendment was written about fighting tyranny, not duck hunting or even self-defense, there still may be too few of us willing to form anything more than a tiny insurgency, easily contained or squashed by a raging police/surveillance state such as we may well face if Clinton returns to the White House next January. Obama has already handed control of our Internet to an international group which certainly does not have our country's (as opposed to our government's) best interests at heart. All part of his plan to assist Soros in HIS plan to destroy America. Can't have a country thinking it is exceptional - as in "an exception from wanting to be ruled by a global oligarchy of power elite".

A Trump presidency will not be a cure-all, and he would have an uphill fight against the entrenched elites in government, against the bureaucrats who rule us by regulation and fiat, in any attempt he makes to save America from the damage, the " (muslim?) fundamental(ist) change" Obama promised us in a rare utterance of truth. Nonetheless, "'Tis a consummation Devoutly to be wished."

[This has been edited with a few extra sentences not included in my comment on Gunslinger's blog. I have room here on mine that I didn't have on her comment section.]

While few were paying attention

I'm sure our feckless leader is as pleased as Punch that he was able to pull off transferring control of the Internet to ICANN . Our lickspittle members of Congress don't appear to be doing anything to stop this illicit transfer of power, and a federal judge has denied a petition by several states' AGs (Attorneys General). http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-10-01/judge-denies-attempt-block-transfer-internet-oversight.

I can't remember - and I'm too lazy to check at this time of night - whether I posted it here on my blog or as a comment on someone else's, but I stated previously that Obama's appointment of around 300 (IIRC) federal judge positions during his almost eight years in office is much more dangerous and damaging than his two appointments to the Supreme Court. The federal courts make decisions almost daily which significantly affect us, and ultimately can only be overruled/overturned by the Supreme Court. The biggest problem is that the SCOTUS (although I prefer "SCROTUS") only chooses to look at a handful of all of those lower court decisions, and of those few, I would imagine a good number of them aren't prosecuted because the defendant lacked the means, couldn't afford the costs involved.

I don't know enough to form an opinion about how this will first present itself in the way of the disruption of the 'Net as we know it, whether access will be taxed or require fees being paid, and whether or not ICANN, the U.N. or some other group decides to limit conservative speech, speech about islam and muslims, speech about real (mostly Christian or Jewish ) religions that please or displease our new masters, since they will certainly use it to beat us. Parts of the world actively beat us down, while some parts are uplifting, and show what can come from goodness, from logic and reason, from a willingness to fight the attempts to degrade America, bringing her down to third-world status.

Stay tuned. We live in interesting times.

Perhaps the coming end of the Internet as we know it? (CEOTIAWKI? ;-)

My one loyal (and so very patient, considering how long it is between posts here) follower, Grog, advised me of a blogger who wrote concerning Obama turning control of the Internet over to ICANN, a U.N. based agency. Once upon a time, when I spent more time here on my blog, I would re-post articles from other bloggers and various web sites that I found interesting, informative, upsetting, or which motivated me to comment. This one, from Bloviating Zeppelin (perhaps as in "gas bag", which would be a clever play on words) concerns me. Having some U.N. scum (wish the Saudis had chosen that, instead of the WTTs - especially if they had done it by mistake ;-) decide what I can read or write, and how and when I can communicate with others on the Internet, leaves me very, very unhappy.

Here is the address for BV's post, followed by my comment:

(http://bloviatingzeppelin.net/us-surrenders-internet-control-for-no-purpose/comment-page-1/#comment-38740  if the link doesn't work for you for some reason), along with the great graphic/cartoon with which he headed his post.

Well, Obama has been given permission - and assistance, of course - by those who run him (filthy, fungal sock-puppet that he is) to damage us in ways that aren't very visible to the average citizen in this country, especially younger generations who have had almost no experience being _somewhat_ free ("somewhat" being the best we could do with what we had). 

Degrading our nuclear weapon arsenal (nuclear deterrence has helped prevent the use of nuclear weapons for quite some time now). Imagine how this change may influence the ambitions of Iran and North Korea; down-grading our military in numbers, equipment, and motivation (driving most of the real, experienced warriors out and replacing them with ticket-punching, liberal yes-men (and women - think Kerry - yes, on both counts, pussy that he is  ;-); degrading the Rule of Law to an even greater extreme than existed prior to his infecting the Oval Office; working to destroy the economy and monetary stability; importing hundreds of thousands of muslims (including jihadis, of course); allowing millions of illegals across the border - even arranging transportation of some (illegal "children", many in their late teens and early twenties); appointing liberal whacko feminists to the Supreme Court - and even worse, hundreds of liberal whack jobs to federal court positions all across the country (along with appointing many U.S. Attorneys across the country) who will legislate from the bench with few of their decisions to ever come before the Supreme Court, no matter which way it leans; issuing executive orders that are unConstitutional; weaponizing the IRS, EPA, and other agencies to run roughshod over those his administration deems "enemies", and allowing the DOJ to ignore the crimes of those who please the administration while demonizing those that displease it. Especially if they are white and/or Christian (yes, black Christians have been harassed, too).

Soros - who has stated he wants to destroy our country - realizes better than Obama

how important the Internet is to the citizens of a country who mainstream media is under the control of the Left. Handing off the control of - and protection of - the Internet to those who see disagreement as "hate speech", not to be tolerated (ask Geert Wilders how that works) may deprive us not only of the ability to learn the truth (especially those things the MSM ignore, refuse to publicize), but also the ability to connect to each other. 

That is my personal greatest fear. I am not 'Net (Web?) savvy, but I imagine that while there may be ways around the censorship or even the disconnection of targeted conservatives, it will be difficult and will mean far fewer of us will have access to the desperately need information that sites like Drudge, Zerohedge, Jihad Watch and Gates of Vienna provide, as well as the information bloggers such as WRSA, BZ, and so many others bring to us. As someone who disconnected from TV back in 1987, pretty much my only source of info is the Internet - plus one or two trusted friends, but they get most of their info from the Internet as well.

This has the potential of being a real game changer for all of us. I'm hoping the well-tempered 'Net users among us will find a way for all of us to stay connected.

What will it take?

My wife and I were discussing (and cussing) the fact that our government is completely comfortable with the “lost” $6.5 TRILLION at the Pentagon (and add that to the trillions spent during attempted “reconstruction” of Iraq after “Desert Storm”, “Enduring Freedom”, etc., when much of the money ended up in the pockets of construction companies and “aid” organizations which took the cash and did little or nothing in the way of fixing things - just like in Haiti) AND not saying or doing anything substantive about the $9 TRILLION “lost” at the Federal Reserve. (And if you think those at the Pentagon, the Federal Reserve, and the White House don’t know exactly where those $15+ trillion dollars have gone, I have some swamp land I’ll gladly sell you.)

The only moves the American people have remaining to them involve actual rebellion, revolution, the stringing up of those responsible from the nearest lamppost in DC, NYC, or wherever they are working or living. If you haven’t figured out that voting is a COMPLETE AND TOTAL FARCE, then you haven’t been paying attention.

Government has grown so big, and has swung so far to the Left, that replacing the current communist drone in office - even with someone with the best of intentions (and I think that describes Trump) - will be fruitless. Congress won’t support him (Paul Ryan, current Speaker of the House, has even said he would “sue” Trump, attempting to stop him from using executive orders the way Ryan has allowed Obama to use them - to destroy our economy and the very fabric of America, our culture and pride) and the huge bureaucracy that exists in agencies like the EPA, IRS, DOJ, DOD, etc. which will refuse to follow those orders. The FBI has shown they are unwilling to follow the law themselves, refusing to arrest for proven felonies that extend even unto treason if one of the “elite” are at fault, yet if a “mundane” - one of the peons like your or me - simply tells a lie, it is felony prison time. Just ask Martha Stewart. Or you get SWATted, and bleed out while SWAT refuses to allow the paramedics to approach you as you lie there, unresponsive and a threat to no one.

Shirley and I observed that there is a climate of apathy, even among those of us who see what is going on, those of us who aren’t distracted by Oprah, Dancing With The Stars, and the National Football League. Short of armed rebellion, there just doesn’t seem to be anything effective that we can do to stop the corruption, the abuses, the rape of America by “Too big to fail” financiers, CEOs, members of the Federal Reserve, by race baiters who are allowed to walk around un-molested by law enforcement in spite of owing millions in unpaid taxes, by Congressmen and women who owe taxes, who have committed crimes you or I would spend decades in jail for having committed.

Even a March on DC, on the Capitol Building while Congress was in session, would not deter the minions of the Left who are our “elected representatives” - two lies for the price of one. They would ignore it, unless the marchers were each armed with a battle rifle and numerous magazines of ammunition. It would take dragging the most egregious members - like Pelosi, Reid, Boxer, Feinstein, McCain, Ryan, McConnel, Graham, and a host of other out onto the streets of DC ands decorating some lampposts with the miscreants before we would see any change.

Yes, we will vote to try to get Trump into office, in the hopes he can at _least_ stop the influx of muslims - jihadis one and all, even if they don’t all fight with a gun or explosives, but with multiple wives having multiple muslim babies - and illegal aliens. That would be a life-saver for our way of life right there, even if not enough to repair all of the damage Obama, Clinton, Bush (to our economy), FDR, Wilson, etc. have done to our country and Western Civilization in general.

Just don’t expect that to turn around many decades of subversion - of the educational system which has worked for so many years to indoctrinate our children not simply in a collectivist/communist view of how our country should operate, but also to destroy their understanding of what is right/moral behavior, the Judeo-Christian code of morality that this country, the Constitution, and our original government were built upon. John Adams said that our form of government (a constitutional republic, not a democracy) would only work for a moral and religious people. The Left is doing its utmost to see that we will no longer be either moral or religious.

Of the whole electoral system, which has been perverted to permit - and ACCEPT - the fraudulent voting and counting of votes that has allowed many on the LEFT - like Reid, Pelosi, Feinstein, McCain, etc. - to be re-elected year after year, in spite of obviously working against the wishes and needs of their constituents. Of the subversion of government, where laws are written and enforced by faceless bureaucrats who write regulations which are allowed to be treated as actual law, as if they were written and passed legislation.

The correction of the educational system is going to have to start at the teachers colleges, where Leftist professors following in the footsteps of the Fabians (http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/sociopolitica/sociopol_warterrorism02.htm) have corrupted impressionable young men and women into believing they are engaged in a higher calling when they graduate and pass on their indoctrination to their students.

We also need to stop - and reverse - the moral decay being taught and encouraged in our children by their teachers in school and their professors in our universities. By the psychologists, psychiatrists, and "bio-ethicists" like Paul Singer, and medical "ethicist", Ezekial Emanuel (Rahm's brother) who have been trying to get pedophilia - the desire to have sex with children - removed from the DSM, the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. They want to make it considered "normal" behavior, with no penalties attached to it. If I remember correctly, there was an article published that said Emanuel gave a talk to young school children, telling them that it was all right for an adult to touch them and have sex with them, that they shouldn't be afraid, but just do what the adult wanted them to do. How freaking (swap the "rea" for "ck" if you like) sick is that. It would shock you to know how many people - predominantly Democrats, liberals - think that would be perfectly all right. People who are professionals.even respected and admired in their particular fields.

I hate to be pessimistic, but I don't see this turning around - if ever - until things have gotten so bad that the State (our government) starts removing our children from their homes, doubles the 95,000,000 or so un- or under-employed citizens who find themselves out of work and unable to provide for their families, crashes the economy, or starts a civil war by outlawing Christianity and the Judeo-Christian moral code, which a lot of us Boomer generation old folks still adhere to, even if we are no longer actively religious. We are already so close to that point that it amazes me. Talk about the frog in the slowly heated water.

Remember folks, the Supreme Court is so close to being a liberal nightmare that electing anyone besides Trump - no matter how you feel about him - means that a liberal Justice will be appointed to the Scalia vacancy, making the Court 5 to 4 liberal, ready and willing to begin to work seriously and hard at removing the rest of our rights. Obama already appointed two of his cronies, Sotomeyer and Kagan. A liberal replacement for Scalia will change the Court from something that was designed to protect the Constitution to something that will legislate from the bench, following its own agenda.

When it is no longer legal for us to have firearms (Ruth Bader Ginsberg said that it at the top of her list once they get another liberal on the Court), when the Internet is controlled by the Left with censoring of conservative viewpoints, when speaking out against muslims, illegal aliens, and the government becomes "hate speech" or sedition, when the Patriot Act and the NDAA (National Defense Authorization Act) are used to remove conservatives from their homes and places of business and rendition them, with no legal recourse and no notification of family or friends, we had better take up the arms we have and fight.

If not, it will be the span of decades, if not centuries, before we have the opportunity to once again be free. Our children and grandchildren will have no idea what being "free" once meant, and will calmly and willingly do as they are told, including turning in "Gramps" for the firearms and ammunition he has hidden away, or Grandma for speaking out against muslims, pedophilia (but I repeat myself), and the government in general.

Sorry to be such a pessimist, but that is where I see us heading. Trump might only delay it a bit, but any other choice will simply hasten our destruction to where we will probably see it happen within what is left of my lifetime. I hope I am wrong.

WROL: Without the Rule Of Law

FBI Director Comey proved to be a consummate bureaucrat, willing to perform as his masters have directed him. The Director following his directions. Thanks to the revelation of W.J. (Bent Willie) Clinton's tete a tete with U.S. Attorney General Loretta "Doan Say Nuffin Bad" Lynch, we knew the fix was in, but some of us - the less cynical Pollyannas among us - thought they would never be quite this obvious.

Consider that for a moment, folks. Does that not demonstrate the disdain in which our own government holds us, that they accept as given that we will not rise up in righteous fury when they absolve each other of such open disregard for the law? The law that we all are expected - forced at gun-point - to obey? Just a few minutes ago, while changing the email address where commenters may reach me (not that I've had more than two or three of those in the life of this obscure little blog), I saw a place to list my favorite movies. I thought about my favorite Seagal movie, Above The Law (his first, and one of the few I feel was really well done). I didn't list it because it was hopelessly optimistic, the premise being that we could call to task a federal agency (actually a rogue supervisor within the CIA) for completely ignoring written law as well as the nearly 3000 year old Judeo-Christian (just "Judeo" at first) moral code, including "Thou shalt not murder".

So, here we find ourselves faced with another in a long train of abuses by our out-of-control federal government, a member of the elite being permitted to slide on egregious violations of federal law, spouting provable lies, and displaying complete arrogance, by acting as if she possessed a lily-white soul, without the intent to commit the crimes of which she is so obviously guilty. Butter wouldn't melt in her mouth, as my deceased father would have said.

It used to be a matter of routine jurisprudence, that intent was required along with a deliberate act in order to be judged guilty of a violation of the law. It was known as "mens rea", and without it, a person could not be convicted of a crime. This principle of law existed for hundreds of years, but at some point in our immediate past - within the last fifty years or so? - the courts threw it out, and began ordering juries to convict even in the absence of intent to do wrong.

Like David Olofson, who was convicted and sent to prison for possessing a semi-automatic rifle that was broken and would occasionally fire more than one round of ammunition when the trigger was pulled only once. Even though the BATFE, the prosecutor, the judge,  and everyone in the jury knew it was broken. They were ordered by the judge (illegally, but what the hell) to ignore the fact that it was broken, and that they were required to convict if the rifle did indeed fire more than one round at any time the trigger was depressed only once. The jury was never advised that intent of wrong-doing was a necessary part of the law, as the courts have, over the years, created new "law", but establishing the precedent that mens rea was no longer required in order to convict a person of committing a crime.

So. Fast-forward to the Clinton email case, and FBI Director Comey stating that Clinton had no intent to break the law when she - knowingly - violated federal law concerning classified documents and the use of private servers (she used more than one) to conduct government business (let alone classified government business). We are being slapped in the face again with the knowledge that the elite - at least those on the Left - are judged by different criteria than the rest of us, the peasants. The law does not apply to our "masters", only to us - slaves of the federal government rather than the masters of federal government, as the Constitution was written to make the case.

Further, think back to the Martha Stewart case: she was not convicted of the insider trading she was arrested for, and for which they attempted to imprison her. She was convicted - and made a felon - for lying to a federal officer. As others have said many times, isn't it interesting that we can go to prison for lying to the federal government, but when they lie, it is simply called "politics". Proof positive that we have actually been WROL for a long time now. The Left has simply become more blatant about it.

Before I close, ask yourself this: if they are not bound by law, why should we be? If the FBI, the IRS, the EPA and other government bureaucracies can deprive us of life and liberty at whim - with regulations, let alone written, codified law - should we not be able to return the favor? Wouldn't it be interesting to know the work addresses of the nearest U.S. Attorneys, FBI, IRS, EPA, etc, so that you could at some point voice your concerns directly to them?

Orlando muslim mass shooter had terrorist ties/contacts known to the FBI

Yes, I've horribly neglected this blog because it gets so little traffic - obviously even less when it isn't updated for months.

This mass shooting in Orlando - by a member of Obama's favorite "non-violent" "Religion of Peace™" - was done by a muslim son of immigrant parents who has been investigated by the FBI at least three times for contacts or ties with known terrorists or terrorist activities. Please take note that I did not write "muslim terrorists", because anyone with more than three brain cells in operation should already be aware that 99% of terrorist activities these days (and for quite some time) has been muslim in origin.

"Meanwhile, the Hill reported that Mateen's employment, and gun licenses, were untouched even though the FBI confirmed it had interviewed the 29-year-old three times before the shooting took place early Sunday morning.  An official said that the FBI first became aware of the suspect, Omar Mateen, 29, in 2013 when he made "inflammatory comments to coworkers alleging possible terrorist ties."

The FBI - and this is a very safe prediction - will characterize him as a "lone wolf", but it is a fact, published even in the mainstream media, that head of ISIS, the Caliph himself, has recently openly broadcast orders to all muslims to perpetrate violent acts against America and Americans, specifically in Florida, three days before this attack. Islamic State spokesman Abu Mohammad al-Adnani recently called on Muslims to “get prepared, be ready … to make it a month of calamity everywhere for nonbelievers…especially for the fighters and supporters of the caliphate in Europe and America.” He also urged jihadists to conduct lone-wolf attacks and said doing so would produce “the great reward of martyrdom.”

This muslim, Omar Mateen - in spite of the (scant) attention already paid to him by the FBI for his connection to the first American suicide bomber, Moner Abusalha, who traveled from Florida to the Middle East and then returned to the Emerald Coast to attempt to recruit others, before returning to Syria and blowing himself up - was allowed to hold licenses and permits that included the right to carry firearms. He worked for a world-wide British security agency that has been contracted by the Obama administration via DHS to transport illegal aliens further into America from the borders and "releasing them without proper processing or issuing court appearance documents."

ISIS has also specifically called for "lone wolf" attacks, because they are more difficult to defend against, but that gives the Obama administration the room to declare it had "nothing to do with islam", The Religion of Peace™, in spite of the shooter openly stating he was doing it in support of ISIS - Islamic State of Iraq and Syria. No matter what our muslim sympathizer-in-Chief says, "Islamic" means "relating to islam".

Not only did the shooter attend a mosque in Fort Pierce, but in his call to 911 he stated his ties to ISIS, and during his terrorist murder spree, he was heard saying prayers believed to be islamic prayers.

I wonder if this will finally turn the gay/LGBT community around so that it acknowledges the fact that islam orders the murder of gays? Perhaps now the gay community will see that Obama and Hillary do not have their best interests at heart. What use is forcing a baker to make a cake for a gay wedding if Obama is importing muslim jihadis who will go to the wedding and kill gays?

The Paris Agreement on Climate Change, or How I Yearn to Shiver in the Dark

Over 150 nations gathered at the U.N. in New York City today to sign the Paris Agreement on Climate Change, which was ratified last December.  That beaming fool Kerry represented our runaway government at this meeting, giving a speech that - thankfully - did not include James Taylor singing "Kumbiya".

That worthiest of print news concerns, the New York Times (stock worth what, about 50 cents a share now?) had an article about the signing, written to delight the marginal intellects of those few who are still reading the NYT, after they unwrap the fish they will cook for supper.

I read a caption for the news story on the Accuweather web site. (It seems pretty much all of the weather web sites continue to support “global warming/climate change”, probably in fear of losing their audience of liberals who never question what they are fed by the mainstream news media, believing Al Gore to be not only the inventor of the Internet, but the discoverer of the deadly threat of Global Warming™ - which had to be re-named “Climate Change”, because it was discovered there actually hasn’t been any global warming in the last 50 years, let alone caused by man’s activities or industries.)

The story spoke about 155 countries meeting soon at the UN (it took place today, April 22nd) to sign the Paris Agreement on Climate Change (probably to be followed by the Paris Agreement on Ending Season Change, so it will be summer everywhere forever). I’m sure the reason so many countries are willing to sign is because A) they have no intention whatsoever of doing anything involved that might cost them anything or restrict their economy, development, or needs, and B) because Obama has promised to spend billions of America’s taxpayer-funded budget on all the little countries - supposedly to keep them from adding carbon into the atmosphere.

Obama is definitely trying to fundamentally change America - into a third world, impoverished country like Cuba, with the same sort of tyrannical Marxist government. The more he can drive us into debt, the sooner he can get the Cloward-Piven strategy to take effect. He isn’t spending trillions more than we have simply because he is a Democrat who _loves_ to spend someone else’s money (especially on golfing, Michelle’s vacations - from him, her jewelry and expensive clothing), he likes spending trillions - on other countries, jihadis masquerading as refugees, paying off large political donors and bundlers, and greens fees - but he _really_ likes knowing he is driving America closer and closer to financial collapse. 

Since fools like Obama are socialists/Marxists, they don’t understand economics (if they did, they wouldn’t become, or remain, socialists). So he doesn’t understand that all of the money he and Michelle have amassed since getting into politics and selling favors, accepting money for access, and all the other ways scum like them become rich will be worthless if the economy crashes. Perhaps he thinks he would still be able to golf, dress well, and eat well, simply because he was the President at one time. As I said, he doesn’t understand how it works.

When the poo encounters the rotating airfoil, he may discover that A) food, transportation, and green fees will not be provided in exchange for another rousing community-organizing Marxist diatribe, or for hosting a group of felons calling themselves “rappers”. He may also discover himself abandoned by the Secret Service agents, men and women who know he and Michelle hate their guts, while enjoying the safety their presence provided. Those agents may very well pack up and leave, to stay home and keep their families safe, instead of covering his ass (literally, as he exposes it to his  paramours). At that point, he won’t last long, because there will be _someone_ who understood whose fault to whom the whole debacle was attributable. That someone (or “someones”) will then do what should have been done in 2008, before he was “elected”, aka removing his vile self from this planet, thereby preserving a bit more otherwise wasted oxygen. As well as preventing the anthropomorphic creation of a bit more carbon dioxide he produced (required by almost all plant life, but don’t tell the Global Warming/Climate Change freaks about that. It would spoil the illusion for them.)

So, the PACC (see above, at the start of this missive) will certainly be used by those who long for a speedy consummation of the Cloward-Piven Strategy, when almost all of the citizens of the former USA will be forced to accept whatever is done in the name of government by our betters, the elite individuals who know they were born and bred to rule us, to make us do what they know is best for us. People not only like Obama, Pelosi, Reid, and Schumer, but also McCain, Ryan, McConnell, Graham, and Boehner. Most of them are actually fools, of such diminished intellect (Pelosi being a “poster child” for such a lack of comprehension, logic, and reasoning), that they don’t understand they are being manipulated by those above _them_, the Soros’s, the Bloombergs, and the academics on the far Left like Peter Singer, all of whom are convinced their wealth, their breeding, their “superior” intellects and/or position make them superior to us wage slaves and persons of marginal mental capacity (in their eyes), incapable of making what they believe are the right choices. 

I believe the elite may well have set themselves up with retreats that are as self-sufficient as money and power can make them (perhaps a small nuclear power plant, solar and wind installations, seed banks, and enough peons to provide them with personal servants as well as worker bees to keep things neat, tidy, and running smoothly? Including breeding stock, of course, just as in the heyday of the Old South. They might be white, Asian, or Mexican instead of black (too hard to keep the blacks down on the farm), but they will exist and procreate at the whim of the elite who know in their very bones they were meant to survive the destruction they visited on the rest of us, as they fundamentally transformed the whole world into a third-world existence.

The difference between civilization and barbarism

There are many things about our country and our culture that are good, and many things we could do without, thank you very much. These will differ for many people, right vs left, religious vs atheist, black vs white, "cultured" vs "redneck", elite vs us common folks. Yet, I think these differences fade in the light of the difference between what is known as Western Civilization and third world barbarism. I don't think there are many people who would choose the violence visited on each other by the two ethnic sides in the war in Bosnia, in Kosovo. I won't even attempt to convince you that one side might have been morally superior to the other, because most of us haven't the slightest idea of what really went on over there.

The people of Europe are quickly learning which side is morally superior. Which side supports civilization vs barbarism. What is amazing, and something I try to educate people about here at my obscure little blog, is that there is a culture of barbarism that has existed with little change over the past 1400+ years. A culture that tries to pass itself off as a religion, when it is no more a religion than The "Church" of Scientology, a culture which uses the trappings of religion to excuse - and even encourage - abuses so vile that they beggar description and belief. Europe is being flooded with a barbarian horde whose abuses and vile crimes eclipse the violence and excesses of the Mongols and other barbarian hordes from a thousand or more years ago. Yet they perpetrate their vile behaviors here, today, in 2016.

Yes, anyone who has bothered to visit here, or even simply stumbled across this blog, knows what I am talking about. The culture, the death cult, called "islam". One of the basic beliefs of islam is that women have no value whatsoever except for producing more muslims, with male babies preferred by far over female. Women who try to live a better life, to become educated, or to help other women resist being genitally mutilated, or raped by relatives, or abused by their husbands, are made an example of by muslim men - most often by relatives, who claim these women are "dishonoring" the family.

A friend recently posted on his Facebook page a photo of yet another woman attacked by a male muslim with acid. This is a particularly nasty (and cowardly) attack, as it not only destroys whatever comeliness the woman might possess, it makes her features a nightmare for her, and usually causes many years of physical suffering as well, as the damage is slow to heal if it heals at all (note the gauze bandage beneath her chin, wet with the blood and serous fluid that continues to weep from her ravaged skin). Look upon this poor woman, and then tell me you value islam and the "men" who live it, the muslim males who obey the commands of the qur'an to do the vile things they do - to women, children, non-muslims, and even to each other. But especially to women.



And about five years ago, in Iraq, IIRC:




Of course, many, many more attacks like these have occurred between then and now. These two happen to simply "bookend" my point. In some ways, because they must live with their deformities for many years, these are even worse than the stoning to death of women who were rape victims - victims who were judged in the sharia courts (legal determinations per the islamic code of "justice") to be adulteresses who must be stoned to death for "causing" muslim men to have sex with them. Even today, in Saudi Arabia, which many people mistakenly imagine is the most modern and tolerant muslim country (NOT), women who are raped are often deemed to be witches (yes, witches), evil women who cast a spell on the men who raped them, forcing the men to misbehave by raping and sodomizing them. Several women were recently killed in Saudi Arabia for those very "reasons".

In earlier posts, I have already detailed the rape, sodomy, torture and abuse many children - of both genders - have received at the hands of not just muslim males (I can't call them men), but even by imams to their very own children. These violations are endemic to the muslim culture, to islam. But women in general suffer the most.

Where are the feminists, who speak out about men raping American women simply by looking at them, or asking them out on a date, when it comes to the subject of muslim women? Silent. Totally silent, and unwilling to talk about the problem, in spite of the fact that these abuses even happen here inside the borders of our own country.

Ignoring these issues is a form of barbarism, also, one practiced by the Left, who wish to bring ever greater numbers of these muslim males to this country to perpetrate their vile deeds upon their muslim wives and female children - and upon American women they deem "meat for the taking", because they are not dressed in burqas and veils.

In Europe, the war between Western Civilization and islam is being lost. Thanks to the complicit behavior of their own elitist governments, Europeans have committed cultural suicide. It is most likely too late to save those countries. Here in America, there is a chance, if we can keep from importing any more muslims, especially the young male muslims, the jihadi invaders brought over here intentionally to cause disruption and chaos, as they are doing in Europe.

These barbarians are not at the gates, they are within the gates. The few million who are here already may be manageable, but bringing in millions more will definitely be our own downfall.
