We are honoured once again to name recipients to the Flukie Award for dull, beggardly, narcissistic grasping of any asset to which one is not entitled, and doing it with perfect aplomb that befits a human parasite.   This time we shall cover familiar ground....both in the sense that we have been there before and because the winners are members of the first family of all 57 States in the Union that are defended by the Marine Corpse.

      This is also the first joint award, first because there are two recipients, a man  and a woman,  The second reason is because the man works at joint known as a liquor store, where he apparently frequently pre-tests the merchandise.

Aunt Zeituni Obama-Onyaga
Soon to be Peoples Republic of Occupied Aboriginal Lands
Laureate of Kwanzaic Prose and Poetry

      Mz. Zeituni is a very famous person.   She has written a book. She is a very good person because she is a victim of her own slovenly, arrogant, presumptive, mean, self-centred conceit.   She wrote a book called Tears of Abuse,  Auntie Zeituni's trials while on vacation in Hell.

       All children must learn what a dump the United States was before Auntie Zeituni and her "newly arrived Americans"  drove it into the dust bin of history because of its treatment of the poor and waterboarding.   Her book details the tribulations of being taken in to mandatory hospitalisation upon arrival because of the various diseases she brought with her from Kenya....fault of Elizabeth Windsor...and subjected to curative procedures that could only be described as "something else".
       Even worse, in her book that was....written....perhaps....by -shhhhhh... another person, she details the trials and burdens of having to "go down" to the free money office.  It was a lot of trouble and interfered with her soap operas, causing immense stress.   Then they made her go to office after office after office to pick up free housing, free food stamps, free bus pass,  free medical services, free utility service, and of course to the classes.   Her favourite class was the one called "Historic patterns of discrimination!  Don't Stand for It!"   It was there that she learned that she had been discriminated against in America for well over 400 years.    That seemed amazing, because in her Michael Jackson disguise, pictured above, she looks nothing more than what a 105 year old man might look like.  Maybe it's the dandruff in her wig that keeps her looking so spry.
     Perhaps the same millions who bought her nephew's brilliant books will buy and not read hers as well.   It is a blueprint for anyone searching for a way to latch onto the gravy train without breaking a sweat.   Pointers for avoiding deportation are included, especially on how to be related to a president who will arrange millionaire and billionaire, pro-communist Boston law firms to do pro bono work for America's finest.
     Auntie Zeituni's book co-incides with another great accomplishment for her half-brother pictured below:



Uncle Onyango learns from his $2,500/hour attorney that
he is on a Planet named Earth.   He was unaware that he
had been deported from another planet named Dnaseirts.

      Uncle Onyango is celebrating being awarded his first driver's license.   Not having a driver's license never kept him from rollin' before, but now, at least, he can identify himself after being pulled over for DWI, next time.    He had just been released from jail for a previous DWI in collision.    After briefly celebrating his emancipation from that sentence for Driving While Intoxicated, again, Uncle Onyango learns that, after many, many years he is being rimanded back to the care and feeding of the immigration authorities.   He has been under a deportation order for approximately 512 years, but has been too busy collecting welfare and working for two different liquor stores in the same chain in an up-scale, downtown area of Framingham, Massachusetts.   He did manage to obtain two different social security cards which were both alive and well, and he did manage to run into a police car during his last DWI episode.   Along with his half-sister, Auntie Zeituni, they collect the equivalent of about 200,000.00 USD each year in public assistance, not counting legal fees and damages to public property.

     All in all, he and Auntie Zeituni have managed to cost the taxpayers over 200,000.0o USD each year during their vacation here from Kenya.   Sometime it's not what a person knows, but rather who he knows....it is said.

It makes a guy proud to be an American.   We've really attracted the brightest and best.

We've Bought Some Time....

      This is Katie Courageous with a late breaking bulletin.   Analysts have determined by careful research conducted by the same group of scientists that debunked the "Shroud of Turin" (snikker, snikker) Sham, that the fabled Mayan Calendar, much more advanced than any white man's effort to order the days (snikker, snort), is absolutely establishing the date of the end of the world as somewhere between the 21 and 22 of December 2012.  The Bush Administration did nothing about this during their ten year usurpation, which means that many, but especially women, minorities, and minority women and children, and the gay and lesbian, bi-sexual and transgendered, and reverse re-transgendered will be the ones who are most affected by the end of the World, especially Auntie Zeituni and Uncle Onyango.

Quetzacoatl is to the Toltecs, Nahua (Aztecs) and other of the

Feathered Serpent.... represent the bearded white man who
would come into the eastern part of what is now Mexico
according to the prophesies, on or about 1520, as measured
by the Gregorian Calendar.

      Further news now from....What?   Breaking news?.....People, there is new information coming in about this very topic.   It appears that the forecast for the end of the World may have to be analysed a bit more.   Due to Barak O'bamaham's steadfast refusal to approve the Keystone Exploitation Pipeline it appears that the Mayan duendes have revealed to the World a replacement calendar which will give people of colour, women, and gay, lesbian, and transgendered a least 7,000 years more.   This means that there will be plenty of money for the O'bamaham Socialised Medicine Initiative.   It is amazing that this wonderful President is so great that he is given a Nobel Prize for Peace for being able to say the term "Marine Corpse" and channel the Mayan god Kukulkan and convince that Great god to give us a little more time to play the lottery with money we make from selling our Food Stamps at $0.25 on the dollar.

Mayan art and calendar at Xultun stun archaeologists

The preservation of the artwork surprised archaeologists, given the dwelling's shallow depth

     Archaeologists working at the Xultun ruins of the Mayan civilisation have reported striking finds, including the oldest-known Mayan astronomical tables.   The site, in Guatemala, includes the first known instance of Mayan art painted on the walls of a dwelling.   A report in Science says it dates from the early 9th Century, pre-dating other Mayan calendars by centuries.

      Such calendars rose to prominence recently amid claims they predicted the end of the world in 2012.     The Mayan civilisation occupied Central America from about 2000BC until its decline and assimilation following the colonisation by the Spanish from the 15th Century onwards. It still holds fascination, with many early Mayan sites still hidden or uncatalogued.

The ruins at Xultun were first discovered in 1912 and mapping efforts in the 1920s and 1970s laid out much of the site's structure.

     Archaeologists have catalogued the site's features, including a 35m-tall pyramid, but thousands of structures on the 30 sq km site remain unexplored.     In 2005, William Saturno, then at the University of New Hampshire, discovered the oldest-known Mayan murals at a site just a few kilometres away called San Bartolo.     In 2010, one of Dr Saturno's students was following the tracks of more recent looters at Xultun when he discovered the vegetation-covered structure that has now been excavated.

     When Mayans renovated an old structure, they typically collapsed its roof and built on top of the rubble. But for some reason, the new Xultun find had been filled in through its doorway, with the roof left intact.     Dr. Saturno, who is now based at Boston University, explained that despite it being under just a metre of soil today, that served to preserve the site after more than a millennium of rainy seasons, insect traffic and encroaching plant and tree roots.

"We found that three of the room's four walls were well preserved and that the ceilings were also in good shape in terms of the paintings on them, so we got an awful lot more than we bargained for," he said.

'Different mindset'

     The excavation was carried out using grants from the National Geographic Society, which has prepared a high-resolution photographic tour of the room.      It measures about 2m on each side with a 3m, vaulted ceiling, and is dominated by a stone bench, suggesting the room was a meeting place.

The east wall features a number of seated figures, nearly life-sized, dressed in black and wearing elaborate headdresses similar to a bishop's mitre.     They all look toward the north wall, on which a more elaborately dressed figure in orange holds a stylus in a hand outstretched toward a figure that Dr Saturno believes represented the king of Xultun.

The astronomical cycles and corrections were used to
predict lunar eclipses far into the future.

 

      "The seated figures that we see around them are involved in some narrative in which the king is being portrayed impersonating a Mayan deity and these guys are in attendance at that impersonation," Dr Saturno explained.   The relevance of the figure with the stylus seems clear: "We think this room was used as a writing room, that it's part of a complex associated with the work being done by Maya scribes."

     Perhaps most intriguing among the finds were several finds related to astronomical tables, including four long numbers on the east wall that represent a cycle lasting up to 2.5 million days.  The east wall is mostly covered by tabulations of black symbols or "glyphs" that map out various astronomical cycles: that of Mars and Venus and the lunar eclipses.   The wall also features red marks that appear to be notes and corrections to the calculations; Dr Saturno said that the scribes "seem to be using it like a blackboard".

     The Xultun find is the first place that all of the cycles have been found tied mathematically together in one place, representing a calendar that stretches more than 7,000 years into the future.  The Mayan numbering system for dates is a complex one in base-18 and base-20 numbers that, in modern-day terms, would "turn over" at the end of 2012.

    But Dr Saturno points out that the new finds serve to further undermine the fallacy that this is tantamount to a prediction of the end of the world.     "The ancient Maya predicted the world would continue, that 7,000 years from now, things would be exactly like this," he said. "We keep looking for endings. The Maya were looking for a guarantee that nothing would change. It's an entirely different mindset."The astronomical cycles and corrections were used to predict lunar eclipses far into the future.


AN ADDITIONAL NOTE ABOUT XULTUN, GUATEMALA

     Xultun is a Mayan Indian community in Guatemala that has been the centre of much archeological activity for almost 100 years.   Among the first real finds were some Flintstonian Tarot Cards.   El Gringo Viejo so names them because they are made of carved stone.   But, stone or not, it is clear that they were used for divining the future.  The site of Xultun is probably going to be found to be the equal of the great, known Mexican sites as well as Tikal, also in Guatemala, and Copan, in Honduras.

Now Begins the Next War on Humanity by the Republicans

     Let the games begin again, and again, and again.   The populace tires of it.   The Democrats climb to the highest peak and begin howling painfully that the Republicans are going to force us to have to shoot Smokey the Bear and Grandma is not even going to be able to finish her last moldy spoon of dogfood before the Republicans throw her off the cliff again.   And so soon after we just had her wheelchair repaired from the last time she took her dive.

     Who is going to buy Miss Flukie's birth control pills for her?   It's a War on Women!!

     Who is going to stand up for Trayvon?   It's a War on Negroes!!

     Who is going to stand up to the Republicans who are cutting feeding programs for the Poor?

      It's a War on Feeding Poor People!!

     Who is going to stand up to the Republicans who only want citizens, native born and naturalised, to vote?    It's a War on Illegal Voters!!

      Who is going to stand up to the Republicans who don't want people to have the right to pay Union Locals' Boss Thug Slobs to head up unions  so that they can knock off a 12 pack of Pabst and smoke a couple of joints during their morning break?    It's a War on Labour!!

      Why do the Republicans always want to take away everything from everybody all the time, especially every two years????     We'll have to free all the Negroes and give the Women the right to vote again....and pass the Prohibition....and have a New, Square, and Fair Deal for the Oppressed-Americans.    Oh! The humanity.......

And George Bush did nothing to prevent it.

     When people are exchanging platitudes and statements of common knowledge at the next backyard barbeque, be prepared with the facts and make yourselves completely hated and despised.   You will never have to worry about another invitation to that party again.    A platitude like..."Yeah, it's just like they say, 'The rich keep gettin' richer and the poor keep gettin' poorer."

      Then you chime in with, "That does have a nice original ring to it, and it makes a person comfortable, attempting to say something very profound when in fact it is uninformed and really stupid.   In 1910, the wealthiest two percent of all Americans controlled about forty percent of all liquid and tangible wealth in the United States.   To-day the wealthiest 2 percent actually only control slightly less than nineteen percent of all liquid and tangible wealth in the United States.    The working class, the middle class, and the upper middle class, along with minor millionaires control the vast majority of wealth in America.   Professionals, skilled blue collar, technicians, and small business people are the grouping with the most wealth."

     Now you all know why El Gringo Viejo lives at the end of the road.  He has his own parties. Nobody comes.   But the dogs and the cats have wonderful left overs.   By the way, cats eat caviar, if they have to.

In The Matter of Being Indian

The Cherokee Nation is intuitively understood by the White Southerner.   To be sure, he is also understood by the Black Southerner.   The Cherokee is very much part of what being a local control, family type person is.   He is an adaptor, an acceptor, a businessman and trader, and a generous host.   Much of what is known and understood about the Confederate Cause is wrong and/or misunderstood by people who have gone to school too long and learnt less and less while at it.  

A group of Old Confederate Cherokee Indian Veterans

          The first point we must cover is that most white Southerners who can trace their ancestry into the colonial period of what is now the United States of America has some or a lot of Indian ancestry,    You all have had introduction to and knowledge of El Zorro, for instance, who is, at a minimum,  3/16th Cherokee.    El Gringo Viejo is 1/32nd by his father's side (Mohegan), and 1/16th by his maternal side.

            When we say, "most Southerners" of the type described, we are talking about 90% of all such White Southerners.    Blacks also have substantial Cherokee as well as Seminole ancestry mixed into swirl of chromosomes.    The Whites were more apt to be drawn from the Cherokee, Cree(k), and Choctaw Nations and groupings, but those nations also had been substantially ethnically "compromised" because they had intermarried among themselves.   The broad Cherokee grouping is the Southern extension of the Iroquois Nation and the language, appearance, and cultural practises were similar.    The Iroquois and the Cherokee were at once combative and collaborative with the white man.    By the time one hundred years had passed each side knew who the "good Indians and bad Indians'' and the "good White men and bad White men" were and who could be dealt with in any honourable and/or effective way.    Formal intermarriage was in no wise rare between the two groups.

     Almost all Indians who fought or served in any way during the War Between the States sided with the Confederacy.   There were four Indians who held the rank of general during the War, all were Confederates.

     As for their treatment, it was good and bad.   People like Sam Houston and David Crockett broke with their own government and nation over the treatment rendered the Cherokee who were removed from the gold bearing lands in North Carolina and Georgia.   By any standard it was a crime and Andrew Jackson should have been taken out and shot for his betrayal of the Cherokee and for his selling out of the principles established in the treaties with the Cherokee.    Houston was a fully adopted son of his neighbouring Cherokee tribal chief and  named "Raven" by his adoptive people.   Crockett is thought to have had early Iroquois and Cherokee that mixed with his French and English ancestry.

   

     Elizabeth Warren, Democrat candidate for the office of United States Senator from Massachusetts, is a poser and a fraudulent person.   First of all, she is such because she is a socialist, and from that one defect spring all others.   Since she is a socialist-marxist, she obeys no universal rules and accepts no truth, save for the truth of the necessity to destroy private initiatives, self-reliance, and private property.   To a marxist, of course, a lie is the truth if it forwards the aims of socialist victory over the fascists and monarchists.

     She is a mean, vicious, hateful, and narcissistic person, who knows....not feels....but knows that the "rules" do not apply to her.   One thing she forgot on the way to her lie is that having some or considerable Cherokee does not make a person stand out in the South.  We do not wake up in the morning and run to the saloon and beat on the doors at 09:00 o'clock so that we can run in and tell everyone, "I' m one of them there Indian-type people, you all!"

     However, many, many, many saloon sessions have been spent in the South as the guys recount the bends and branches of the genealogical tree that lead to the speaker's Indian background.    Each is interested in the others and it is known to be a requirement, almost, to be a "Real Southerner".

      None or almost none of us would ever answer "yes" on the form which asks,  "Are you a member of a recognised Native American tribe, nation, or other Indian grouping?"    We might understand the Indian, be proud in our Continental Aboriginal connection, have ancestors who fought and defended the Southern Indian Nations, but  it really does not make us "Real Live Indians".    It is just that simple.   The Cherokee cause and position is closer to El Gringo Viejo than his living brother, but that does not make either El Gringo Viejo or his brother, an Indian.   As far as El Zorro is concerned, we do not propose to speak for him.  We have gone over the issue many times, however, and it is this writer's notion that El Zorro's opinions and attitudes help shape El Gringo's attitudes, if anything.   My grandparents were very matter of fact about their Indian background, but they considered themselves to be just plain-old, Anglo Saxon, Upland South people from Eastern Tennessee.

Estimados Amigos:

       El día de ayer, los cuatro candidatos a la Presidencia de la República pudimos contrastar nuestras ideas debatiendo frente a los mexicanos. 

       Todos los sondeos que se han realizado nos dan la victoria. Por ejemplo, el sondeo realizado por el Periódico Reforma los ciudadanos nos otorgan la máxima calificación entre los candidatos. En el sondeo realizado por Contenido también la mayoría (36%) considera que ganamos el debate, y en la encuesta de Televisa el 44%, nos da la ventaja. Clic en la siguiente liga:

                                  http://www.josefina.mx/debate/

       Se ha abierto una gran oportunidad para nuestra campaña. Los mexicanos están percatándose que tenemos la mejor propuesta, y que tengo una trayectoria pública de la cual me siento orgullosa. Te puedo mirar a los ojos y hablarte de frente.   Te comparto este video que resume lo que fue el debate de ayer. Por favor reenvíalo a tus amigos y familiares. Ayúdame a que todo el mundo se entere de lo que sucedió el día de ayer.

       

¡Vamos juntos hasta la victoria!

Dear Friends:

     The day of yesterday, the four candidates for the Presidency of the Republic could contrast our ideas debating in front of the Mexicans.

       All of the soundings that have been realised, give us the victory.   For example, the  sounding realised by the Periodico Reforma (centre left newspaper) showed that the citizenry gave us the maximum (highest) score among the candidates.   The survey done by the magazine Contenido also the majority (sic- plurality) (36%) considered that we had won, and in the survey by Televisa, 44% gave us the advantage (truly astounding...especially that they admitted it).  Please clic onto the following linkage:  (see above linkage....it's worth the effort)

     There has been an openning to a great opportunity for our campaign.   The Mexican people are perceiving that we have the best proposals (platform), and that I have a public trajectory of which I feel proud.  I can look you in the eye, and I can speak to you face to face.  This video which I share gives a resume' of that which was the debate of yesterday.   Please! Resend it to your friends and family members.   Help me make sure that the whole world knows what happened the day of yesterday.

TOGETHER WE GO UNTIL THE VICTORY!!

El Gringo Viejo adds these observations, after digging around for coverage of the polls.   Josefina's tallies are correct, and later data suggests that she scored very well against both of the other candidates with any chance of figuring in the outcome.   Some polls showed her picking up in the mid-50's among working class women, a disaster for the PRI and PRD.   The Green Party will not cross over the 2% level, in all probability.

    The debate last night was badly arranged and had all of the clunky, heavy-handed intervention of television network owners and executives who wanted to control things and make the candidates in opposition to the PRI's Pen~a Nieto look like dumboes.   They even paraded out a slutty, nearly un-clad, public woman to pass out material to the candidates, thereby trying to make a mockery of the proceedings.    When it became apparent that people were actually tuning in, two of the networks began to experience technical problems, some say that they were advising their downstream stations to cut out and go to " the soccer game".  Much of the country wound of listening to the debate on the radio, for lack of television coverage.    It was later determined that the Networks people on the scene saw that Josefina had her "game face" on and that Ernesto Pen~a Nieto seemed to be disoriented and confused, making silly jokes and giggling a lot.   The pro-communist candidate Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador (AMLO) pretty much spent his night declaring that he is not Fidel, and that he learned his lesson from his last campaign's over-exuberant excesses.  Biggest winner?  Josefina.   Biggest losers,  TV-AZTECA and TeleVisa Networks.   Even the dirty old men were offended by the trollip's modified bump and grind appearance, and the bomb-out, once it looked like Pen~a Nieto was going to have one of his "Joe Biden Moment Nights" was a signal reminder that he and Obama were twin straw men.  No teleprompter, no candidate.

Encouraging on the Southern Front.   Let's see how the opinion polls shake out over the next four weeks.   Our girl did well.   It really is astounding that the Televisa poll showed Josefina with 44%.  Televisa is a solidly PRI  (like the American Democrat Party, full of millionaires and billionaires who like crony capitalism) Carlos Slim type operation.
