JUST A QUICK NOTE…

JUST A QUICK NOTE…

            This has been on my mind for some time and I put it on “Freakbook” but it was taken down inside of 2 minutes. 

            I believe that Barack Hussein Obama is a Muslim.   I believe that Barack Hussein Obama is foreign-born.  I believe that “Michelle” Obama is a transgender, or a man…you can take your pick.  I believe that the two girls were not birthed by either of the Obama’s. 

            A DNA test would confirm, or deny, all of this but THAT’s never going to happen.  That has as much chance of taking place as me winning the Lottery and I’ve been playing it for over 25 years and haven’t won yet.

            If you have comments, let’s hear from you…you know where to reach me.

LET’S CUT OUT THE CRAP.

LET’S CUT OUT THE CRAP.

            Depending upon the person that is speaking, there are 5 to 11 million illegal aliens in our country.  So, let’s examine something.  Right away, the word illegal means that you have done something against the law…adding the word alien, and that’s not the outer-space aliens that may or may not exist, means that you are from another country.  Put them together and you have people that have come here from another country and didn’t take the usual method of immigration…that process has been in place for about 200 years and seems to work very well.   Legally, the United States admits about 1 million people a year, according to one of the candidates for President.

            Why do people want to come here, legally that is?   For them, the American Dream is alive and well.   Most come from countries that are less advanced, possibly with more sickness, maybe they are fleeing a ruthless regime or terrorists…there are any number of reasons.  The most important thing is that the greatest majority of them want to be Americans in every way.   They learn the language, adhere to the culture and customs, and work towards becoming American citizens.   To be sure, many of them, while becoming Americans, retain their own culture, and that’s fine.  We’ve always been a nation of diversity.   It’s when that diversity rises up in a manner that is repugnant to the rest of the people that we should take notice.

            Let’s look at the various religious factions in the United States.   Overwhelmingly it is Christian and all of the other religions are much smaller parts of the overall picture.   What do they all have in common…except one?   With the exception of Islam, all of these other faiths seem to be in agreement that love is stronger than hate, that heinous crimes are just that, heinous…and that life is very precious.   Contrast that with the cult of Islam.   For the true believer, death brings them to paradise.   For the true believer, lying to achieve a goal that will further the cause of Islam is condoned.   For the true believer, all other people are infidels and have only three choices…convert, pay a tax just to stay alive, or be killed.

            There is another, entirely different load of crap that the public is being fed.  The current occupant of the White House professes to be a Christian.  I believe he is a Muslim and adding up all of the things he, or his administration, has done to make it easier for them would surely point that out.   When our potential enemies are building up their armed forces, he is decimating ours.   When our friends look to the United States for leadership, the leader is nowhere to be found…oh wait, you can find him on the golf course.   Taken as a total, I believe that he has committed treasonous acts, and if not treasonable, at the very least, impeachable.  Why has he not been impeached, indicted and incarcerated?   Somehow he has managed to do an end run around Congress(which wasn’t that hard to do) and ignore our sacred documents, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights…and the Supreme Court has let it all slide.

            Retired Lt. Colonel Peters was “furloughed” for two weeks for calling BHO a “pussy” on television.   I don’t understand that because BHO IS a pussy.  He strikes me as a made-up person, manipulated from sometime in the past…maybe from High School, when someone approached him and said they could make him President.  Whenever he takes a picture doing something that ordinary people do, he’s showing off his pussification.   This, by itself, wouldn’t be anything to write home about except for the fact that he’s tried to prove himself on the world stage as a strongman.   He’s not a strongman…he is more likely to be a scarecrow type, operating without a brain and filled with straw.   He could be a cowardly lion, without the courage of his own convictions, if he even has any.   Making threats without backing them up doesn’t show leadership or strength…and the other countries around the world have taken note of that.   They know what he is, so why is he still in office?

            Here’s another place we can cut out the crap…our elections.   Whether they are local(and I’ve heard that all politics are local) or nationwide, there are a few things about elections that are crappy and should be stopped.   For starters, election campaigns should not be more than three months long.  Period.   If a candidate says that he or she is going to do this or that, and they don’t within the first year of their taking office, they should automatically be removed from that office and not allowed to run again for eight years.  Speaking of years, federal offices should have term limits and that includes any and all federal agencies, departments, etc.   If there’s not a law against foreign contributions to a campaign, there should be.   No campaign contribution over one hundred dollars from anyone, and families should be considered as one person.  No corporate contributions.

            Another area full of crap is the InFernal Revenue Service(and that’s “service” like what a bull does to a cow)…but that’s another story…and we’ll get to it, you can bet.

I AM A “TRUMP-ETER”

I AM A “TRUMP-ETER”

            I like Trump, and I make no bones about it.  The things he says are things that I can agree with, regardless of how that might rub the politically-correct the wrong way.

Frankly, as has been said many times before, political correctness has run amok and should be severely curtailed…but I digress.

            Being for Trump doesn’t automatically mean that I agree with EVERYTHING.  His refusal to attend the GOP debate here recently was a bad move in my not-so-humble opinion.   Oh sure, you can have a feud with someone, but if it’s doing to do some serious damage to you personally, your business or, in this case, your political aspirations, you keep it quiet and try to settle it outside the public’s view.  By the way, I like Megyn Kelly because she is a straight shooter, but now and then she lets personal opinions cloud her objectiveness…and that’s bad journalism in my estimation.

            Let’s take a quick look at Donald J. Trump(and yes, that’s his real name and his real hair) and how he got to be where he is.  He was born in 1946, and while growing up he worked for his father in the real estate business.   His children freely admit that, even with all the wealth, the growing-up process was no cakewalk.  They had to work, and work hard, and there were no special privileges shown.  The Donald, as his former wife Ivana, called him, has never shied away from taking chances, changing wives or making it known that he likes being wealthy.

            His recent statement about refusing Muslims admittance to the United States drew a firestorm of protest…mostly from people who don’t, or won’t, understand the illegal immigration problem that the current administration has created.  Yes, people have been sneaking into the country over the Southern border for years, but the current administration is actually importing people from all over the world, by the hundreds of thousands…and no one truly knows much, if anything, about them.   The strategy behind this movement is simple…people that get a free ride in this country will remember who made it possible and when they get the vote(and they will eventually), they will vote Democrat.

            Trump is called a populist and I’m not really sure what that means, but he pushes my buttons when he talks.   He has a platform that appeals to the concerns of working-class voters who feel displaced by job losses and changes to America's ethnic and religious demographics.  Strengthen the military, improve the conditions for veterans, not just defining our borders but building a wall that will deter illegals from entering the US, not just balancing the budget but reducing the overwhelming deficit, have a moratorium on Muslims coming to this country, finding and deporting Muslims(and others) who have overstayed their visas…those are just a few things in which he’s shown an interest. 

            Trump is not exactly a stranger to politics either.  He had previously considered running for president. In 2000, he ran an exploratory campaign and won two Reform Party primaries but didn’t carry it forward.   He’s of German extraction and attended New York Military Academy, During his senior year, Trump participated in marching drills and wore a uniform, attaining the rank of "cadet captain".    In 2015, he told a biographer that NYMA gave him "more training militarily than a lot of the guys that go into the military".   Trump was eligible for the draft during the Vietnam War. In a 2011 interview on WNYW, he stated, "I actually got lucky because I had a very high draft number."   Trump was deemed fit for service after a military medical examination in 1966 and was briefly classified as 1-A by a local draft board shortly before his 1968 medical disqualification.   Trump attributed his medical deferment to "heel spurs" in both feet, according to a 2015 biographer,  but told an Iowa campaign audience he suffered from a spur in one foot, although he could not remember which one.

            He began his career at his father's real estate company, Elizabeth Trump and Son, which focused on middle-class rental housing in the New York City boroughs of Brooklyn, Queens, and Staten Island.   In 1972, the Trump Organization sold Swifton Village for $6.75 million, which the Trumps had bought for 5.7 million in Cincinnati in 1962.  In 1971, Trump moved to Manhattan, becoming involved in larger building projects, and used attractive architectural design to win public recognition.   Trump made plans to acquire and develop the old Penn Central for $60 million with no money down.   Later, with the help of a 40-year tax abatement from the New York City government, he turned the bankrupt Commodore Hotel into the Grand Hyatt and created The Trump Organization.

            Brashness is a quality that Trump exhibits and it seems to be good for him and not quite as good for his opponents.  Maybe he won’t be the Republican nominee, but I’ll always think that he should have been.

RACE RELATIONS IN THE USA

RACE RELATIONS IN THE USA

A while ago this country became infected…not with a disease…but with a group of ideologues who have promoted everything that you can think of to take down our society.   It has become much worse since Barack Hussein Obama, became President.   Many thought  he would promote good race relations but Mr. Obama and members of his administration have done everything to encourage division and hostility between whites and blacks.   He has teamed up with Al Sharpton, one of the biggest race-baiters in the country, who constantly lies and stirs controversy for his own financial gain.  

Unfortunately, the Democrat party has allowed itself to be involved with these lying, arrogant, devious, vicious, people.   They want to take over everything in our lives, but when they take over, they ruin whatever they touch.   Now they’re pushing the so-called victimization of African-Americans by whites and white privilege.   How stupid is that?   Consider the Baltimore situation.   Why the rioting, plundering, burning, and destruction of a black neighborhood and black businesses?   Why are these ignorant rioters destroying their own people’s homes, and businesses?   Why are they blaming everything on white people?   Baltimore is 72% black, and has been run by black Democrats for over 50 years.   41% of the police are black, and the chief of police is also black…the mayor is black, as is the state attorney, and most city council members.

The mobs chant anti-white slogans because Al Sharpton told them that blacks are not part of the power structure, so they’re not racists…only whites are racists.   This is totally ridiculous.   In Baltimore the blacks are the power structure and what have they done to make life better for the black people living there?   Nothing.  

Robert Woodson, an African-American man who is the founder and president of The Center For Neighborhood Enterprise says “The solution to poverty begins in the neighborhoods and the people affected by it.   I tell people, what is your solution?   If all whites, tomorrow, were to move to Canada and Europe, tell me how it would affect the black-on-black crime rate, how would it affect the out-of-wedlock births, how would it affect the spread of Aids?   What I’m saying to black America is we must stop victimization.”    Woodson’s organization goes into low-income communities and seeks out leaders and moral mentors to help solve the problems they understand so well.   Mr. Woodson noted that government anti-poverty programs have made poor people a commodity for a professional class of providers.   He said that most of the money spent on poverty in America does not go to the poor but to those who need poor people for their own existence.   He said there is currently no incentive to reduce poverty.  

The First Lady of the United States, Michelle Obama, found it necessary to rant and rave about racial discrimination that she claims to have suffered in her lifetime, when she gave the commencement address, last Spring, at Tuskegee University.   Her false stories about this issue were surely intended to bring about racial hostility.   Unfortunately, the racial divide along with race hatred that exists is encouraged by Barack Hussein Obama, Michelle Obama, Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, former Attorney General Eric Holder and the new Attorney General, Loretta Lynch.   The purpose in encouraging these destructive attitudes and behaviors is to maintain power.  

This bunch is clearly not following the teachings of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., who protested peacefully, and urged blacks to work hard and become reputable members of society.   Unlike this group of divisive hate-mongering individuals, who want a race war, Dr. King worked to bring about peace and harmony between the races.   It would be something wonderful if the black community would look back and heed Dr. King’s advice, when he said people should be judged by their character and not by the color of their skin.

STUPIDITY REIGNS SUPREME

STUPIDITY REIGNS SUPREME

            If you were a listener to our radio show which ran for five plus years, or read any of our blogs, you would know that the American public, in general, is not held in high regard.  Various and sundry “interviewers” have questioned random people on the street about things, really basic things about America, and the answers have been simply appalling in their stupidity and lack of knowledge.  For years I’ve been saying that ignorance and apathy are doing more to undermine the stability of this country than almost anything else.  The phrase 'useful idiots', supposedly Lenin's, refers to Westerners saying good things about bad regimes. Vladimir Lenin and Joseph Stalin used the term “polyezniy idiot” or “useful idiot” to describe sympathizers in the West who blindly supported Communist leaders…and America, through its systematic dumbing-down of school children from kindergarten all the way through college, is breeding these useful idiots by the droves.

            In videotaped interviews one can see people, and some of them are college students, willing to sign a petition to do away with the First Amendment and, in fact, the Constitution AND the Bill of Rights…because they don’t have a clue as to what is in those documents, having never been taught anything but a passing reference to them.  Some older people, and you’d think they would have more sense, go right along with these outrageous “petitions”, never giving it a second thought.  The generations coming up after mine, possibly the last real link to World War 2, will probably accept most any conditions that will exist because they don’t know any better, or different.   What, or who, captures America’s interest in this time of political turmoil?

            In those same interviews, knowledge of basic American things was lacking, BUT

asking those same people about sports scores, celebrity marriages or breakups, and the latest movies and the answers come quickly…and they’re accurate.   If anyone needed evidence that We The People are being subjected to a form of “sleeping sickness”, these interviews could certainly provide that evidence.   Speaking of evidence, the subject of Sharia, which is the law of Islam, came up in a few of those interviews.   Sharia is a very harsh form of “justice” which is, in fact, the very antitheses of most “Western” law.  Under Sharia punishment is extreme for what might pass for minor misdemeanors in our Western(translation: civilized) world.   Shoplifting, as an example, which in American courts is a misdemeanor and might warrant a fine, or several days in jail coupled with a method of paying back for the stolen item, under Sharia it gets a hand chopped off.

            Also under the broad heading of stupidity would be the way our government negotiates with other countries…friend and foe alike.   In that regard stupidity DOES        

reign supreme.   Take the Iran nuclear deal as an example.  To a country that is lying to us about their reasons for building nuclear plants, and burying them under about 60 feet of concrete, we sign a treaty for them to go on doing what they’re doing.  They, on the other hand, do NOT sign the treaty.   We allow them to self-police their activities about nuclear plants and we MUST give them 24 days notice before we plan an inspection of their facilities.   On top of all that stupidity, we release billions of their dollars that we’ve had frozen in our banks because they have not been truthful or compliant in the past…and now, with this infusion of so much money we fully expect that they WILL be truthful and compliant to a treaty that they didn’t sign.  Bringing it down to a level that most people can understand…you get a traffic ticket but refuse to pay it or show up in court.  What do you think the judge is going to do…just let you slide on that, or will the bench warrant be issued for your arrest?   It’s going to be the latter, folks, and of that you can be sure.  

            We are, or were, a nation of laws and, for the most part, we understood them and lived by them.  Laws provide regimens that make for harmonious living, standards by which we learn to associate right from wrong.  In a lawless society, which ours is quickly becoming, due in large part, to the Executive branch of the government taking over the duties and powers of both the Judicial and Legislative branches of the government, we are placing ourselves on the path to a dictatorship.   Dictators, no matter how benign they may be, are repugnant to Americans, or should be.  A couple of centuries back we fought one of the world’s great powers in order to be our own bosses.  Now, for the most part, we have ceded our individualism and freedoms to the government.              Wake up America…your country needs you, desperately.

What the hell is going on here?

            Many different federal agencies, as well as some other media outlets and blogs, are saying(and proving) that there are jihadi training camps in the United States.   If you are of a certain age, you might remember the internment of Japanese-Americans during World War Two…and in retrospect it was wrong.  We had complete records of those people because they had been in the US for years, sometimes for generations, and we knew they were alright…but panic overcame logic in that event.

            With jihadi training camps it is an entirely different thing.  They have sworn allegiance to the Moon God, and to their holy book…and that book tells them to act in a manner that the rest of the civilized world finds absolutely repulsive.   No other cult, and that’s what Islam is, no other cult calls for a world-wide domination with three choices for those that are not followers…you can convert, you can pay the jiszya(tax) or you can die.  Period.

            Today we have technology to surveille these training camps.  We have the ability to prove that they are subversive…that they pose a clear and present danger to the United States.  We already know the lengths to which they will go to make their presence and aims, known.  We know that from the shootings, stabbings, beheadings, burnings and mass executions along with the organized rapes, what their ultimate goal is…so why are we not doing anything about it?

            Is there a reason, or a person, that we can point to and say this is why we’re not pursuing this evil within our borders?   If you watch the lamestream media, or listen to the “alphabet” news you will hear what they want you to hear or see…which is pushing the agenda of the administration.   Yeah…I recommend Fox News because it’s as truthful as anything you’re likely to find and it tells me about things that the others do not.  Is it completely, 100% right 100% of the time?  No…but what they say is 100% better than what is spewed out of the others.  

            I’ve asked a couple of law enforcement people around where I am, about these training camps…and the answers they give are startling, to say the least.  They say that the places are private property, mostly zoned for hunting and so there’s very few, if any, restrictions on what can go on there.   Raiding parties are strictly forbidden and getting a person to infiltrate is practically impossible.  This is a place where, if you’re not known by at least three people, you don’t get in and if you do, you might never get out…alive.

Long-range surveillance, I’m told, shows military-style training and weapons, as well as surplus military equipment like armored personnel carriers and the like.

            If push comes to shove, as it very well might, and these vermin move out of their protected areas and start making trouble around the country, the odds are stacked against them.   If you estimate 1 million jihadis in the United States, that’s 1 against a potential 330 million, and about the same number of guns(or more).  Snipers, man your guns and prepare for urban warfare!   Urban warfare is not quite the same as what was done in World War Two, until the troops actually got in/on the continent of Europe, and it certainly was not the type of warfare in Korea, Vietnam or the first Gulf war. 

            Things began to change with the second Gulf war, and continue on in that manner today.  Perhaps a big change in the ROE(rule of engagement) would make a difference in Afghanistan, and you can bet Americans fighting on their own soil would not adhere to ANY ROE’s.   Personally, and I’m no military strategist, I recommend a policy of take-no-prisoners if they are in the homeland.   We know all about the United States so there would be no information of any worth to be gained by questioning them, and they prefer death to life…and we should accommodate them every chance we get.

Prisoners require certain care under the Geneva Convention(which they don’t follow, by the way) and it means that troops have to be away from the battles.

            This Old Alarmist believes that in the not-too-distant future the uncivilized barbarians of Islam WILL be confronting the civilized “Western” world in a massive effort…sort of a do-or-die thing, like the kamikazis of Japan in the Pacific war.  At that time, Americans will have the opportunity to eliminate the worst scourge on the world’s stage since The Plague.   In fact, one could think of Islam AS a plague and you eliminate the disease or the disease eliminates you…take your choice.

            As a start, look up the training camps and see if one is in your area and ask the law enforcement people what they are doing about them…and good luck.

Red Dawn and The Postman

            In 1984 a movie called Red Dawn burst upon the scene and for those that have not seen it, it’s about a takeover of the United States by a combination of Russian and Cuban forces.   A small insurgency of high school kids begins to fight back and, in the end, the invaders are beaten and the United States is victorious.

            Fast forward to 2016.   We are under attack by another foreign enemy, already inside our borders and already attacking our people.  The difference between the film and what’s taking place now is that the attacks are scattered rather than a concentrated force…but make no mistake, the United States IS under attack.   In the film the insurgents, called Wolverines, use hit-and-run tactics to defeat the enemy, just as our enemy is using that against us now.   Americans, by and large, will take up arms against the enemy but, and that’s a big question mark…will the American military stand with the American people or go with the invaders?  

            Russia and Cuba are pictured as the invaders, and that might well come to pass with the leadership that those two countries, allied with the incompetence of our own

Government, but when you add in the world-wide desire for conquest of the followers of the Moon God, then Islam becomes a major player in the game.   Islam has but one goal and that is the world-wide submission to Allah.   There are no countries that will be immune to this scourge.   If you are not a Muslim, you are a dhimmi and forced to pay a tax just to live, you convert or you die…it’s that simple.

            The Postman, from 1994, is another interesting film with a different-yet-the-same story as Red Dawn.  A nameless drifter dons a postman's uniform and bag of mail as he begins a quest to inspire hope to the survivors living in post-apocalyptic America.

The enemy is also nameless in this movie, but the basic story is the same…Americans fighting back against an invading army.   Again, if you want to think of it this way, it’s David against Goliath, and you know how that turned out.  The difference here is that what we might call David is many small, splintered groups, eventually brought together by The Postman.  

            There are no words that my brain can conjure up to express the rage that is building inside me because of the ignorance and apathy of the American people.  A small segment of the public is thinking that they can “sweet-talk” their way out of the problem…but that won’t work.   If the enemy is an alligator, as an example, he may eat you last, but he will definitely eat you.   Another segment is convinced that if ignored the enemy will eventually disappear.   That may be so, but history has recorded appeasement before and it did not fare well for the world.   Still another segment of the ignorant American public believes, or wants to believe, that ink on a piece of paper will force the enemy to behave.  It won’t.

            As I see it, the saving grace for this country is that we have (a) a lot of privately-owned weapons, (b) a bunch of veterans, from all wars, who have seen what happens in war and are determined that it shall not happen here and (c) loudmouth agitators and alarmists like me, who keep bringing the subject to the forefront.   Any problem can be overcome with the proper strategy…but you have to awaken the public TO the problem.  

Years of comfortable living, with a volunteer military has made us soft, to the point where it’s going to take another event like 9-11 to shake us out of our comfort zone…but it will have to be done, if the United States is to survive.

            If you are not a gun owner, you should be.  If you are a gun owner, you should be proficient in the use of that weapon.   Go to a shooting range and learn what you can do with that gun, and learn to use both hands because you may have only one to use at some point.   Be alert because instant jihad is exactly what it implies…a madman or woman, coming at you suddenly, with your death in their mind.  True believers in the Moon God are more interested in death than we are in life, so always know what’s going on around you, and if you have a concealed carry permit…carry!

            There is another, even more frightening attack that the enemy can carry out, without firing a shot.   It’s an electromagnetic pulse, or EMP.  Simply put it’s an event that takes out all or part of the electrical grid of the country.  Now, imagine that you have just survived a hurricane, a tornado, a winter storm or whatever, and you have no power in your city…and may not have for days.  You can rest somewhat easy because you are certain that power will be restored soon…right?  Now, with an EMP, that power may take weeks, months, or years to restore…and how are you going to live?  No lights, no phones, the supermarkets will be stripped bare inside of a couple of days, and you could not even get gasoline to put in your car or generator.   You will try to survive.

            Survival of the fittest is nature’s way of preserving whatever it is, be it animal,  or vegetable…they adapt to changing conditions in order to survive, and we’d better be doing that also or it will be the end of the United States.   No matter who is elected this next time around, there will be a definite choice to be made, and that choice will be, simply put, the survival of the United States.   Never mind the party, never mind the money you may have or not have…it won’t mean a thing.   All Americans will be in peril, even as they are now, so Wake Up America…your country needs you desperately!
