How “The Surge” is working, Kiss Our Boot…

I know I’m going to get a lot of hate-responses for this from the Semi-Literate Establishment Members…The Surge is working only as a propaganda piece to fool the already fooled

The “surge” is proving that if you hold somebody’s neck under your boot heel he can’t fight back… but you can’t keep the boot heel there forever. Hitler found that lesson out.

Meanwhile Right Wing politicians are playing it up as though the Surge can go on indefinitely… at least until they get enough votes to continue the war that is so very profitable For THEM.

And if anybody mentions, like in my initial sentence, that it’s not sustainable,
they have a well trained Idiot Chorus Live who will loudly chant “The Surge IS Working The Surge IS Working The Surge IS four legs good, two legs baaaaaaddddd!”

Along with some pathetic crap like “My country right or wrong”,

which means that they intend to keep doing wrong in the name of OUR country

and anybody who doesn’t like it had better “Love it or Leave it”,

Which in turn means if they can get people who don’t like their Terroristic Emperor running (Ruining?) OUR country we should just leave and thus allow them to drive America further into the ground, unchallenged.
They would be able to do to America what they’re continuing to do to Iraq.

If the Surge had worked, and if, as our frequent Propaganda Visitors have told us, the People of Iraq are very much in favor of continued subservience to and domination by the American Oil Companies,

Then surely when the Publicly Funded Mercenary Military takes their boot off their collective neck, they will be Good Little Obedient Servants of The Empire and stay down, only rising up enough to Kiss The Jackboots…

So what’s preventing you from lifting your boot off their necks?

Good news, a back-range express, but is it too late to stop 24 West “vision”?

cdot 24 west
although there’s a rumor that the sudden lack of money in the Treasury is going to derail 24 West anyway…

But the biggest boohoo about 24 is that the people from the back range somehow would benefit more from spending a quarter of a billion dollars on widening the road, no farther than the corner of 24 and 24, right by the Sinclair station, with the big plastic Dinosaur that’s right at a Bus Stop than by putting in LESS money to expand bus service, notably, a bus to Green Mountain Falls, Cascade, Woodland Park, Divide…

Something the Park and Teller county folk have been asking for but the Republican leadership back in the back range have said is impractical, couldn’t possibly work, nobody would willingly give up paying 50 bux for a round trip to the springs just because of somebody having a better deal.

See the disconnect between Real People and Republican Representation?

Same way a few very rich developers were demanding that we finance their Road to Nowhere to the tune of: utter destruction of WestSide homes, partitioning our neighborhood with an even more insurmountable wall than the existing road, so the Rich Ones could drive their Single Occupant Vehicles into downtown, pay to park (and clog downtown roads with the on street parking) and thus impress their friends with how Important and Rich they are.

I dunno, I see a HumVee and the first impression I get is the dumbass got ripped off.

If you have to pop out a hundred grand for a gas-guzzling Stupid Useless Vehicle just to make a statement of Status…. Face it man, you didn’t have status anyway, and you just ain’t fooling anybody.

I could have sold you a tee-shirt with LOSER written on it for 5 bucks and you could take the other $99,995 and buy something actually useful with it.

a real life leaps to mind.

Simple equation: less cars = less traffic = less congestion, with the attendant headaches of road rage, pollution, time-of-commute, and of course, it will even lower the gas prices if consumption goes down.

Not saying give up your private car, hell no. Just don’t expect us to bend over backwards or forwards to accommodate your ride is all.

You want to drive like that, pay the full price. Get your hands out of our pockets, get your smog out of our lungs and our drinking water, no problem.

Nobody owes them more road.

Today my office issued the following statement, which includes my comments:

Dr. James Zogby says, “Enough is enough!”

Washington D.C. – October 11, 2008 -We are disturbed by the degree to which ‘Arab’ has become the metaphorical mud to sling against your opponent. Last week, for example, the Republican Jewish Coalition released a document in which they use the term Pro-Arab as apejorative accusation. For his part, Rush Limbaugh has joined in by declaring that Obama is in fact an Arab American. Then, last Friday, after a supporter called Senator Barak Obama “an Arab”, Senator John McCain came to the defense of of his political opponent by saying, “No, ma’am. He’s a decent family man and citizen…” From this we are left to infer that an Arab man is less then a “decent family man.”

Dr. James Zogby, President of the Arab American Institute, says, “Enough is enough! From the beginning of this campaign there have been those who have used ‘Muslim’ and ‘Arab’ in an effort to smear Barack Obama. This exploitation of bigotry and the stoking of racist fires to forward an agenda is reprehensible. This is not only offensive to Arab Americans, but to all Americans. As any ethnic group who has ever been used to scare the electorate knows, this is a dangerous game that, tragically, can get innocent people hurt.

“And while we are pleased to see that the senator is trying to dispel rumors about Senator Obama, we feel the need to point out that Arab Americans are also decent men and women with full rights of citizenship as enumerated under the Constitution. Arab Americans are part of the great melting pot that is this country’s strength. We work towards peace in the Middle East along side our Jewish partners. We raise our sons and daughters to be model citizens of this nation. We serve this country with honor. The suggestion that any ethnic group is treacherous and Anti-American is unacceptable, dangerous, and unbecoming of such a great nation.”

Amen and Amen. Leave us add “Ay-rab, Muzzle monkey, towelhead, islamofascist and sandnigger” to the Basket of Already known Hate Word rotten eggs like “Nigger, Jew-boy, Spick, Chink, Gook, Nip, Gyp, Fag…” the list goes on…

There was a movement in France, during the occupation, very small movement but to show solidarity with the Jewish FRENCH people the Anarchists made their own stars for their clothing only with the word “Goy” (yiddish for Gentile) written instead of “juden”…

The Nazis of course loved that so much they put a swift end to it… the Anarchists in Paris thus became the first ones on the trains to The Camps.

BUT… They didn’t quite wipe it out. The Resistance kept the memory alive.

It’s the reason even straight people will put a pink triangle on the bumper sticker…

Solidarity with the oppressed.

How we, the Citizens of Outer Redneckistan, can do similar things for Arab-Americans, Arab-Europeans, Arab-North Africans, or hell, let’s just call it “people in general” to un-demonize the name, will be a matter of much work.

Party like it’s 1929!

I would go into a schpiel parodying the Republican Talking Points about how the Pigs really do all the hard work of leadership and thus deserve the Apples and the Milk and to occupy the Farmhouse, use the barley as beer instead of feeding their starving constituents and and and… I’m just too tired right now.

The Squealer Speeches can be found in this lovely book called “Animal Farm”, they were just as much Crap when Orwell wrote it as they are when Bill-o and Rush and Their Legion Of Psychotic Sycophants spew it on us today.

These guys Ran The Entire World into the ground.

Under the ground.

Seriously, their plane hit the ground and buried itself about a hundred feet deep. They float down on Golden Parachutes, observe the wreckage scene, shrug cavalierly and say “Oh well, (Orwell?) Doesn’t seem to be much point trying to save the passengers, but if you give us ANOTHER PLANE… we’ll fly that one better”

Why? Because they “deserve” it.

Notice the “gratuities” tab, just under $3K… on a bill that topped a half million… counting the In Call services, cause them boyz ain’t gonna party without the Paid Poon-tang either.

3K, now that’s Reaganite “Trickle Down” in action there.

Guess we’re supposed to Get The Hell Used To It…

Notice they started the party before the bail-out was announced…

Man, I tell ya whut, those dudes sure can be some OBNOXIOUS bastards when they set their minds to it.

A friend of mine asked on another forum what could possibly be done with the cannibalistic practices of Wall Street Speculators.

The answer is simple: make a meal of the issue.

When the airborne fecal material violently contacts the rotary air circulation device..

The dumb bunny speculators wouldn’t even be able to find their way to the Subway.

They’ll be wandering around lost for a couple of hours or more, desperately wondering where all the taxis have gone…

When they’re good and tired, the sun is setting and the streetlights aren’t coming back on, ever,…

That’s when The C.H.U.D. attack.

(Cannibalistic… Humanoid… Underground… Dwellers…

really sick flick and you would have to see it for yourself to understand.)

The stock thieves who had spent time working out at the gym, you know, Paying to work, because work keeps your body functioning.. and if they were serious about it, well, the meat will be pretty tough.

On the other hand, with fewer fat reserves, no insulating value besides their retarded looking Wall Street jackets, plus they don’t smoke and therefore won’t have matches or lighters, to light a campfire, and probably wouldn’t be able to figure out how a match works in the first place… they’ll weaken more quickly and start to succumb to the hypothermia.

The lazier, fatter ones would still have to be harvested fairly quickly, a couple of days of wandering and just not eating will run all the calories and other potential nutritional value off of them.

The dumbest and therefore easiest to harvest will be standing on the street corner waving their arms frantically trying to signal one of the non-existent Taxis.

Stealing a cab would be a quick way to harvest them.

The doors even lock when they get in. How perfect is that?

Some Tabasco sauce would be a wise investment …

Singin’ the Bail-out blues…

..except nothing that ugly could possibly be put to music..

There’s a massive effort from the Far Right to blame the Liberals, blame the Working poor (whispered rumors are that it’s those MINORITIES) when the evidence has been staring us right in the face for all this time.

Infomercials on how to Get Rich Without Trying filled the late-night, early morning TeeVee…

The loans that were defaulted, turns out that not only most but the Vast Majority of them were to people who were speculating.

Not people who were buying homes to actually, you know, LIVE in them.

The “Flip that house” show is still on HGTV…

Buy a house at a flexible rate, wait while the real estate value goes up, then sell it at a profit.

The Infomercials promised that you could do this with “little or even NO money down! How could you possibly lose?”

Buy a house with no money, sell it a week later, pay off the balance of your mortgage and use the rest as paper collateral, “Cash Instrument” on another loan, preferably two, and do the same thing over again.

“How could you possibly lose?”

ummm… maybe by following the instructions, yeah, that’s a fast way to lose.

NOW, How Much Would You Pay? BUT WAIT! THERE’S MORE!

these “Cash Instruments” essentially a post-dated check backed by an extremely ætherial government guarantee of payment…

then get used as collateral for secondary and tertiary levels of loans.

Now, the Republican-controlled Congress, (until January 07), top heavy with Harvard MBAs and even Doctorates in Economics, and of course the Investment Banks and the Brokerage Houses, for some reason now they’re saying they’re the victims, that none of them had the experience or the intellect to spot a Pyramid Scam in the works.

Especially not when given a 15 year head start on spotting it.

They say they were forced to give loans to Poor Risk (meaning: underpaid Minorities) customers, but neglect to mention that most of those owner-occupant houses didn’t default.

They also weren’t “required by Federal Law” to push the bank guarantees off onto the Speculators, in fact, they seem to be complicit in those crimes.

And all these Financial Experts, especially those in Congress, like McCain, have had their Corporate Sponsors spend Large Money telling us how vigilant they were over our economy…

WELL, DUH!!

So the most they can claim is Not Guilty By Reason of Massive Incompetence.

But they come, not hat in hand, not humbly, but Arrogantly, demanding that we pay their bills, with no questions and no oversight.

Because, so they say, they’re the only ones who have the competence and experience to do it.

my yass.

We’ve just experienced the full measure of their “Competence”

Then there’s the little matter of that Federal Insurance on the mortgages.

It wasn’t there. Why was that insurance not there?

Two Words: Eye Rack.

Seems Mr Bush, whose Grandpoppy, Poppy and brothers are all Bankers, has had a little Fancy Finance Finagling going on to “pay” the bills on that mess.

It makes the Treasonous Actions of Reagan, North, Poindexter Bush Sr Secord and Casey look like a trial run.

Which essentially it was.

This time instead of funding the Cuba Libre, the Contras, the Medellin Cartel, the Taliban, Hizbollah and al Qa’eda, it goes directly into the American Taliban in other words BlackWater, Halliburton and other more highly organized Terrorist Groups.

But they’re going to blame the entire collapse on a relative handful of low-budget homeowners.

Eat the Rich.

The Gag-zette is going whole hog trying to get people to read their Noose-Pooper. I was going to say their Toilet Paper but there’s a fairly entertaining and even more informative underground paper in town with that name, The Toilet Paper.

The Gag is almost to the point of paying people to read it.

It’s painfully embarrassing to watch. They’ve lost all sense of dignity and self esteem.

Of course, you knew, didn’t you, that a newspaper which has as part of its official editorial policy, the notion that Freedom means the duty to do what you’re told to do when you’re told to do it… Ain’t gonna last forever.

The Independent, which gives its paper away free, and only once a week, is making more money than the Zette. How very humiliating that must be!

There’s a Fake Arabian Nights story, about Aladdin.

Seems he didn’t get the hang of the Genie all that quickly, he had a few mishaps along the way.

He rubs the lamp, tells Genie “Make me as rich as the Shah”

Great big ball of smoke, and a “POOF!” noise…

Aladdin looks around, he’s still in the same place, wearing the same ragged clothes and the same empty money-pouch.

Bewildered, he says “What the hell happened there?”

And the old wino standing next to him says “Damned if I know, two minutes ago I was walking around my Palace and all of a sudden POOF!”

I’ve got like 50¢ American, a couple of 20 peso notes and a Canadian quarter, I need about a dollar more… If I wait until next week when CitiGroup goes under I can probably get it for standing outside singing until they flip the deed my way and of course the keys.

My plans for it are either to offer a free shelter, aka Flophouse, got the idea from the notion that their executives have already flopped there…

OR,

Turn it into a Capitalist Re-Education Center. I wouldn’t call it that, of course, I would simply put an advertisement in the Gag-zette, offering a Commissions Only job for Experienced Stockbrokers.

Then have the Keyboards on the computers hotwired, also the mouse, the coffee cups, the Executive Plush High Back Office Chairs with armrests and cupholders, so that every time they try to complete a trade on Short or on Margin or any other form of “hey, I ain’t got the bread to cover this byotch if it don’t pay off right, but I’m betting all my money and yours too on it paying off” bullshit…

They get a painful electric shock in randomized places, and subliminals on the screen telling them not to do it again.

Of course, so many of them are Masochists that they’ll get a freaky little thrill out of it, and ALL of them are so damned greedy they would last a couple weeks before figuring out that something isn’t quite normal…

As if things weren’t bad enough…

From Democracy Now…

Army Unit to Deploy in October for Domestic Operations

Beginning in October, the Army plans to station an active unit inside the United States for the first time to serve as an on-call federal response in times of emergency. The 3rd Infantry Division’s 1st Brigade Combat Team has spent thirty-five of the last sixty months in Iraq, but now the unit is training for domestic operations. The unit will soon be under the day-to-day control of US Army North, the Army service component of Northern Command. The Army Times reports this new mission marks the first time an active unit has been given a dedicated assignment to Northern Command. The paper says the Army unit may be called upon to help with civil unrest and crowd control. The soldiers are learning to use so-called nonlethal weapons designed to subdue unruly or dangerous individuals and crowds.

Unless I’m mistaken, that would be the Third “Brave Rifles” from Ft Carson.

The unit involved in the Murder of Crazy Horse and the Murders at Ludlow in 1914, kind of a rich history of killing Americans.

The whole idea of the Big Pigs forcing the army to be their muscle for them is sickening enough, but if the soldiers go along with it willingly, they’ll be dragging America into the depth of Totalitarian Dictatorship.

Any of you reading this, think about that.

Your Master is about to unleash you against Americans and American Freedom.

You’ll be ordered to kill AMERICANS and you’ll be ordered to do it contrary to the Constitution you swore to uphold and defend against ALL enemies, and, Soldiers, that doesn’t make an Exclusion for the Bush Regime.

Your Commander in Chief made the same oath, when he went into the Air Force National Guard, when he was sworn in as Governor of Texas, and twice now as President of the United States.

His actions and his words show clearly that he doesn’t give a Damn about freedom, American lives, or the Constitution, and that his word is the empty promise of a confirmed Liar, Thief and Murderer.

Your choice now is either to do your Sworn Duty and resist the Unlawful Occupation of America, or be willing servants of a Godless Dictator.

He mouths the name of God with the same contempt that he mouths the name of Freedom or of the Constitution.

Gentlemen and Ladies, I give you in his own words, concerning the Constitution… “Stop waving that in my face. IT’S JUST A GOD-DAMNED PIECE OF PAPER”

He has shown with ordering You to Unlawfully Occupy the nation of Iraq that he cares even less for YOUR lives.

If he says otherwise, remember how he described the Constitution, and how he defiles the name of God Himself.

Remember that when his fathers Appointed So-Called “Justices” installed him in the office of President, that he said “It would be easier if this were a dictatorship… as long as I get to be the dictator”

The Cowards with whom he surrounds himself laughed like it was a joke, he said later that it WAS a Joke,

But it most obviously was not a joke.

a nice email fundraiser to help out those poor Wall Street LOSERS!!

Credit where it’s due, one of my Democratic friends posted this on alfrankenweb.com, username is JPZenger, after a Revolutionary War era Journalist from New York.

Enjoy and forward to all, friend and foe alike.

From: Minister of the Treasury Paulson

Subject: REQUEST FOR URGENT CONFIDENTIAL BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP

Dear American:

I need to ask you to support an urgent secret business relationship with a transfer of funds of great magnitude.

I am Ministry of the Treasury of the Republic of America. My country has had crisis that has caused the need for large transfer of funds of 800 billion dollars US. If you would assist me in this transfer, it would be most profitable to you.

I am working with Mr. Phil Gram, lobbyist for UBS, who will be my replacement as Ministry of the Treasury in January. As a Senator, you may know him as the leader of the American banking deregulation movement in the 1990s. This transactin is 100% safe.

This is a matter of great urgency. We need a blank check.

We need the funds as quickly as possible. We cannot directly transfer these funds in the names of our close friends because we are constantly under surveillance. My family lawyer advised me that I should look for a reliable and trustworthy person who will act as a next of kin so the funds can be transferred.

Please reply with all of your bank account, IRA and college fund account numbers and those of your children and grandchildren to wallstreetbailout@treasury.gov so that we may transfer your commission for this transaction. After I receive that information, I will respond with detailed information about safeguards that will be used to protect the funds.

Yours Faithfully
Minister of Treasury Paulson

Alaskan anti-Palin rally drew record numbers, CoSprings rally not so many…

as a baseball game. One in which there is no Pennant chance or pennant impact.

The Rockies on Tuesday night drew a crowd of 25,000.

which is two and a half times as many as turned out for the McCain Palin Lie-Fest a short week and a half ago.

The Rox were, unfortunately, mathematically eliminated from the Pennant by the time they were playing the Braves last week.

However, they did deliver a really brutal whuppin’ to San Diego.

There’s another McPalin Lie Parade up nawth somewhere, Michigan I think, where the hall would seat 15,000 … there’s seats set aside for 8000 and nobody’s making any big run on the tickets.

Dunno, must be their rabid support for more Predatory Lending, more Selling America 850 billion dollars worth of rotten dead Corporate Meat, (YUM YUM!!) (which we got for exactly a penny on the dollar, but still, that ain’t a bargain folks) and of course the Deregulation that made it all possible.

Thank you very much Senator M and Gov. P…

But I think I’ll pass on my share of your Economic Miracle Whippin’ Policies.

The Alaskan Rally pulled in a thousand four hundred before anybody stopped counting.

I would imagine, from the McMethods used to count the participants at a McRally, they McMight have McRealized that keeping the reported count low would be to their McAdvantage.

Ok, only 850 billion or so, but we got it at a bargain Price!

So we uns gonna have us a Bar-bee-cue!!

If McCain wins, we can only expect more of this shit…

Like the AIG buyout.

We bought a stinkin’ carcass. Isn’t it wonderful that McCain and Bush and their best buds in the Banking Industry made the decision to buy this dead rotten piece of meat for us?

That was my thought, you know, when it was reported that We The People get an 80% share in a drowning company.

Then realization sinks in that it’s only a penny on the dollar for that share.

Then it’s sadness time again when you compare it apples to apples.

it’s like buying spoiled meat at a penny on the dollar.

“Oh, look, I bought a Whole Steer for only a hundred bucks!”

It’s just we’re going to need a couple hundred gallons of ketchup and Tabasco sauce, and tell the guests that the maggots are just extra protein.

Yum, Yum! “Hey, Grampa, whut’s fer supper”

That’s a gag line from Hee-Haw.

Last summer, at the BEGINNING of the Real Estate Crash… there was a house (too late, it’s been bought) right across 23rd street from the Goodwill processing center for $10,000.

A FOUR BEDROOM HOUSE in a decent neighborhood, near shopping, schools, the Rocky Mountains all that… for ten grand.

And the lady who wishes to be President in charge of Vice for the United States, running on a platform as a Fiscal Conservative, blows more than three times that for a Tanning Bed.
That ain’t all that blows, apparently.

it’s like Hitler with his Big Lie theory, that people are so used to Little Lies, and the personal consequences, that we would believe there’s no way somebody would be so audacious as to tell a BIG Lie, thus, the bigger the lie, the more people will believe it.

Likewise, that nobody would DARE take advantage of the loopholes provided, free of charge, to Pirates by Deregulation of the Stock Market and The Banking Sector.

“Oh, by the way, thieves, we left the door open for your convenience, the safe is unlocked and we know you’ll be honest enough to not take too much money. We’re all good business partners, right?

How Obama should apologize about Lipstick, and why.

kind of a pictorial essay.

As to do I really believe he meant Sarah Palin is ugly, well, he didn’t say she was, McCain, however, jumped to the conclusion that somebody was disparaging her looks.

Why? Is he or she or both of them together that sensitive to the subject?

Must have hit a sore spot.

Let’s not forget that McCain used the Term Lipstick on a Pig first, to describe Hillary Clinton.

And said that Chelsea Clinton, who to my knowledge has never run for any elected office, was ugly, and that the reason was that Janet Reno was her father.

So why the sudden Knight in Shining Armor routine, and why does he automatically assume that Palin is the target of the Pig comment?

These questions and many more answered on the next episode of Doap…

Might not be here this morning. Apparently she’s flying back to Alaska because Baby Track is now being shipped off to the Meatgrinder she so whole-heartedly endorsed, When It Was Other Mothers’ Sons Being Sent.

On 9/11 how very symbolic…

Of course, if the Surge Is Working, Dammit!, like Sha’aria and McBush Jr keep insisting is the truth, why would Little Track be sent there? There would be no need.

Much like the Ft Carson soldier who was buried Monday. Allegedly, he was told that he didn’t need his Kevlar body armor because he was in a “Safe” area of Iraq. …hmmmm…

Don’t the “The Surge IS Working, Dammit!” professional (and amateur) Propagandists tell us that ALL of Iraq is now a “safe zone”?

Of course, the Army, strangely, aren’t on that particular bandwagon all the way.

They told the young mans family that there’s still no such thing as a Safe Zone there, and that Standing Operating Procedure is STILL “lock and load”, (rifles, shotguns and pistols with ammunition and a round in the chamber, ready to fire) Body Armor and Helmet securely fastened on.

That’s pretty extreme for a country which is Officially “Pacified”.

What to do in a Gas Attack

Posted on by

Because the U.S. Police State has reverted to their old habit of using C.S. Tear Gas against Americans.

Unlike Saddam Hussein or the Iraqi Army, the U.S. Gov’t actually HAS been responsible for the death by gas of American civilians (mostly civilians, they’ve used gas at the Military Side of Leavenworth penitentiary as well)

With Tear Gas there’s not too much that can be done, taking a regular Military or Israeli Civilian Issue gas mask to a demonstration is considered “provocation” by the Pigs and they also think it’s an excuse to bust your head open, handcuff you and then hit you several more times while handcuffed, and then charge YOU with assault.

Much like their Nazi predecessors did.

So, the best thing to do is, when you’re in a situation where you feel the Pigs will assault civilians (for the “crime” of disobeying the order to give up their constitutional rights), the vinegar in a bandana routine works a little, minimalizes the damage.

But what of people who AREN’T prepared? The asthmatic who’s a couple of blocks or even a dozen blocks away, for instance, the little old lady with emphysema, the infant in a stroller a block or a dozen blocks away? The Pigs can’t control the wind. And they’re proven to just seriously not give a Damn about the safety of civilians, even those who aren’t involved in the “Crime” of organized free speech.

Best thing is to have trained personnel around to render aid to these people, and to give warning that a Gas Attack is imminent.

One of the clearest signs that such an attack is about to proceed, is when the pigs put on their own protective masks.

A more subtle sign is when they start hustling Pro-Pig politicians out of the immediate area, the counterprotesters for instance.

A much better sign, and it gives you up to 15 minutes to prepare, is when they pull back their Horses and Attack Dogs.

Because their Horses and Dogs are more important to them than the Civilians they’re allegedly sworn to protect. And there’s no possible way to fit a horse or a dog with a gas mask.

A Military Myth explained.

When I was making a cage for my pet Guinea Pig, I used crates from an Army dump in Ft Bliss Texas. Had the Red Cross prominently displayed, and the logo:
Lettering on a dynamite box

See, when I was in Boy Scouts, JROTC, Basic Training and Tech School, they kept telling me that the ChinkyGooks (That would be “Asians” to those of us in the More Normal World) had a “paranoid crazy Conspiracy Theory” that American Military would ship Munitions disguised as Medical supplies, and told us that U.S. Army Medics would take the Red Cross off their various uniform parts in order to not be hit by them thar Gawdless Damn Gook Snipers…

Well, apparently, there is a source for this legend.

That lettering says in Mandarin Chinese,
“Red Cross Brand Military Grade Extra Dynamite- 1949”

Apparently, the Chinese were intimately acquainted with the “tricks of the trade” and that dynamite would only have been good during the Korean Conflict which we wound up losing.

I had a friend who speaks Chinese do the translation for me.

Any of y’all who don’t happen to speak or READ Chinese would have thought the package said “Medical Supplies” or something similar, just because of the Red Cross proudly displayed.

And upon finding out that it wasn’t, you would be righteously pissed and never trust anything labelled with a Red Cross again…

But my friend who does the Chinese, ummm… he translated it INTO Chinese for the purposes of this demonstration.

I did mention that I got the crates in question from a UNITED STATES ARMY DUMP, right?

Reason I believe it is the Jimmy Chagra assassination which took place in a High Security Office right across the parking lot from the El Paso County Sheriff’s Department’s main entrance. By party or parties unknown.

Chagra would only have allowed one class of people into that office with guns.

Cops.

Case unresolved after 30 years.

Bobby “I fought the law, and the Law won” Fuller, found dead in his car covered in Gasoline, and the coroner said “Death by natural causes”.

“Gunny” would be proud I’m sure..

This is twice in less than hour I’m taking his name in vain.

Maybe I just had a premonition and for once acted on it.

But you remember last year when Gunny Bob said that QUAKERS were a “terrorist hate group”?

Wonder how he feels about Unitarian Universalists.

Not really, he’s pretty much open with his hatred and religious bigotry.

In case anybody’s wondering, this is about the Church Shooting in Tennessee yesterday.

Rush, Sean, (m)Ann Coulter, Miz Malkin, Gunny, are you proud of where your Hatred is leading Americans?

Just, thankfully, (contrary to your stated beliefs) Not All or even Most Americans.

Honor Above Orders.

Not about the Mai Li – Lt Calley Massacre, or the Kent State Massacre, or other well known incidents when U.S. soldiers refused to question orders.

See, I get a little flack from ReichWing Trolls saying that Scottie McClellan was a “traitor” for documenting SOME of the lies and other machinations BushCorp did to start the war against the Iraqi people, for the profit of the shareholders of BushCorp.

And that Tony Snow was a hero for not “ratting out” his Accomplices in Treason. And Thefts. And Murders.

So I dug into my extensive memories, and came up with this one incident.

It involves Ronald Reagan, Maggie Thatcher, George Bush Sr and ONE USN seaman who disobeyed an order.

It’s not surprising, Ronnie did associate and do a lot of business with the Bush Klan. (Kartel?) and other unsavory types. Gordon Liddy, Ollie North, Bill Casey, Dick Nixon, Dick Cheney…

All of them are the type who, when you shake hands with them, you have to count your fingers afterward to make sure they didn’t Steal any of them. Theft and Lying, to these guys, is as natural as eating worms is to robins.

Bush and Family, they made one fortune financing the Slave Trade. Yep, not content to just steal people’s property, they went ahead and stole the people as well. Arguably, the ones alive today didn’t do the actual dirty deed, but they still have the money, now, haven’t they?

And they fight tooth and nail against the concept of Reparations.

But that’s not the focus of this story, just an unpleasant diversion.

Treaty law comes into the story, so allow me to explain, yes?

According to the Constitution, the Constitution itself is the Law of the Land, and the final decider in any court in America. In a related Article (VI, if I recall correctly) Treaties are given equal weight in all matters of Law to the Constitution itself.

English Law has similar provisions, that’s where the Framers got it.

Seeing the Company Kept By Reagan, one of whom has declared the Constitution to be “just a goddamned piece of paper”, it’s hardly surprising that Reagan, also, treated the Law as something to be used for his own pleasure and convenience, and put aside when it was more convenient to do so.

Organization of American States. A treaty organization to which the United States belongs. So does Grenada, which is why the invasion had to be called a “rescue operation”.

So does Argentina. Which fought a war with Britain during Thatcher and Reagans Rein of Terror.

A war involving an island where the sheep outnumber the people by tenfold at least.

An island which is strategically located and has a Naval Base and an Air Base.

A war in which, we, the United States, were either Treaty Bound to support Argentina, or stay way the hell out of it.

Charleston Naval Station. British Navy ships refueled and provisioned there, at the expense of the American Taxpayers. Considering the treaty, that was illegal.

Which is probably why the U.S. Navy ordered the sailors not to mention it to anybody.

One of those sailors defied those orders and told of all people, ME.

I am honored to know such a person. A REAL hero, unlike North or Reagan or Liddy or Bush, or their bootlicking accomplices like our own Local Liar “Gunny” Bob.

This impinges on current events because, you see, Reagan had his poodle, Ms Thatcher, Bush had HIS poodle Blair, and they had and have a whole regiment of lying coward pukes who insist that Orders are more important than Honor.

Savage-Weiner on Autism and Asthma…

That would be Michael “savage”, the savage part being his stage-name.
The one who speaks more languages than anybody on the planet, the one who understands foreign policy better than anybody, who holds black belts in every martial art, including those which don’t even have a belt-ranking system, and some which don’t even exist, has a Higher IQ than Einstein, (it’s all True– He told us so, and he wouldn’t ever lie, and it’s on his Wiki page too!)

But somehow, even though he’s a big supporter of the Global War on Terror, isn’t using his skills or his super-genius IQ in the employ of the U.S. Military. And never has…

instead he spends hours every day on the radio “crank”ing out racist and ignorant rants about every subject under the sun, most of which he has no real knowledge thereof,…

Like Autism and Asthma….

Now it gets further into the Realm of the Absurd.

He’s saying that his comments about Autism and Asthma were directed toward mis-diagnosis, as opposed to his original statements that it was all faked.

But still claims he’s sticking by his original bull.

Maybe if he took a little time and actually learned a few things it would help, but then, his Corporate Whoremasters wouldn’t keep paying him. He’d have to get a Real Job.

Asthma is something that really can’t be faked. People who are supposedly of the Ignorant Class, as he so many times places everybody of darker skin tone than himself, how would they know the actual diagnostics for Asthma?

Asthma isn’t a chronic cough, it’s where the bronchii constrict and you can’t actually BREATHE.

Doctors, as a class, aren’t ignorant and recognize this.

Maybe he’s upset because he’s not allowed to smoke around one or more of his kids, in the custody of his former wives or lovers, because tobacco smoke is a trigger for Asthma.

It’s one of the many ways smokers flirtatiously dance with Death.

Even more likely is that he’s invested in Tobacco companies and is upset because smokers are being “discriminated against” because their [b]”Right”[/b] to endanger children is being infringed upon.

So he’s losing money.

I can see why he no longer pretends to be Jewish. Money is now his lower-case “g” god. Sad but true, it’s getting even more common for people to be like that. They even call it “The Almighty”.

Autism is even more thoroughly and rigorously diagnosed.

It’s not like Willfully Chronic Ignorance Syndrome, (what Weiner-Savage either suffers from or panders to) which can usually be diagnosed in a matter of seconds.

It can’t even be diagnosed by only One doctor, or even One discipline.

It take a minimum of three days, three days of intensive testing by psychologists, speech pathologists and therapists, neurologists…

Here’s a wild thought, follow along if you wish,

Maybe his son or daughter, again in the custody of the childs mother, (because he really is an unfit parent, somebody as hateful as he is shouldn’t even be allowed houseplants) is Autistic, he’s not allowed to slap the kid around or yell at him or any other forms of abusive “diagnosis and treatment” such as he relates (with Pride, no less!) that his own father subjected him to.

And he has to pay extra child support for his kid(s) to ensure that he/she/they actually get REAL medical treatment rather than being slapped around or yelled at.

Add in that one theory about Autistic disorders is the Genetic Link.

Guess which PATERNAL genetic line passes on that link?

Of course, guessing his motives is speculative at best.

Maybe he just enjoys railing on people, and he figures people who are Autistic are an easy target and wouldn’t be able to even comprehend what’s being said, far less be able to say anything in return.

He IS well known to be such a weak and pathetic hollow shell of a “man”.
