We Went, We Stayed, We Came Back

We did make it to the noon screening of "2016".   There were 200 people at the movie house.   We were treated to 4,210 previews of movies that cost a million times more to make and had no redeeming artistic or social value.
 
     Then, we had about 87 minutes of fairly dry, academic, "just the facts, ma'am," treatise about a person who is well qualified to be a candidate  for the title of "Greatest Imposter of All Times".    We were already aware of about 60% of the material covered in the film.   But D'Souza provided a considerable amount of mortar to put the many poorly made blocks of O'Bama's life into focus.    There is nothing in the picture that is conjectural about the chronology, geography, or familial aspects of O'bama's life.  The one piece of conjecture is that O'bama is doing what he does to destroy America so as to gain the approval of his father's ghost.    While it may be conjecture, it is a reasonable divining of the roots of the madness that has hold of this degenerate personality who now holds the title of President of the United States.
     Although Obama's father, Obama Senior, was a reprobate, communist, alcoholic, drug addict, anti-colonialist racist, mysogenist, philandering, wife-beater, Obama Junior knew that his father  was better than his mother's second husband.
     The second husband was a sell-out.   Imagine an Indonesian who actually wanted to provide for his family by working with the foreign oil drillers and producers!   Imagine dedicating  your life to something beyond hating white people, America, gainful activity, cleanliness, good order, fairness, and industriousness.
      It is almost like one could imagine that Obama dreamed his father's dreams....and that Obama would, at a young age, began to dream that he would grow up, become President of the United States, and send the bust of Churchill back to the abominable Queen.   Then he would proceed to cut America down to size, by taking advantage of the very thing that he knew America did not have....a tolerance for people of "different races and backgrounds", and a willingness to think well of a person, in spite of his "different race and background".   So, instead of Richard the Lion Hearted or Charles the Great....we have Barry the Conundrum.
     Barry had to destroy America and make it more like Kenya because America is a racist country, controlled by white billionaires who do not permit people of colour to ascend or advance.   Although America's productive Negro element produces more wealth than all the nations of Black Africa combined( app. 300,000,000 people), all of America must be brought down to the level of what is normal in the rest of the world.   And since America is a place where no person of colour is allowed to advance, Barry will use the peculiar American characteristic of tolerance, friendship, communitarianism, and fraternity to rise to the top of the heap so that he can destroy the country for not having allowed people of colour to rise to the top of the heap.
 
     It all makes sense if one is a communist-leaning, America-hating, narcissist.   It helps to have a shallow, bumper-sticker intellectual depth.   And, it helps to have people composing the electorate who are dependent upon the government, who wish to become dependent or more dependent upon the government, and/or who are mentally retarded or defective.
 
   Voila!   The self-made man.
 
 
It is absolutely necessary to ensure that this horrid person not lead the government beyond the end of his first term.   It will also be necessary to ensure the absence of a Democrat majority in the United States Senate.    Perhaps the Fat Cats and Industrialists would care to study what happened to the Germans when the German Fat Cats and Ruhr Valley Industrialists thought that they could control the Austrian corporal.    We must purge this infection.  We have but one chance.
 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
There were about 200 people at this screening.  The day before 5 screenings had been sold out.   That is for a seating area of 320 theatre seats.   Our understanding is that the remaining four showings for the rest of the day were all sold out.

Geraldo, Juan....You are nice fellows, but your glasses only have a lens for the left eye.



The link has Judy Collins singing the classic "Send in the Clowns"
The OROG will have the feeling she is singing en voce of
Obama and the Obama supporter at the same time.
Spooky....moving....A Requiem for a tyrant.

      All OROGs can take a little more faith in the future.   El Gringo Viejo wandered down to a movie house for the first time in a quarter century, over in McAllen.   It was apparent that the place was not ready for people, and that should be reasonable because the ticket booth does not open until 10:45.    The gaggle of people gave it all away, but we stopped and ambled over to hobnob and make and take in  a bit of conversation.
 
     The group was 11 human people, ranging in age from 40 to 75.   Eight were boys and three were girls.    Six were Angloid and five were Espanoid.   One fellow was actually a Mexican citizen....a wealthy person, the kind who buys a house instead of staying in hotel during his business trips to McAllen.   He was interested, like us, to gain further information about the poseur who presently "occupies" the White House.
      He was fairly blunt, when he observed that, where ever a person goes in the world the people debate if it is the Germans, or the Japanese, or the Americans who are the most intellectually, spiritually, and morally advanced.    He was amazed when the Americans voted for a person whose slogan was "Esperanza y Cambio" and who was never asked what kind of "esperanza" and what kind of "cambio" was being discussed.    You know...like a definition of terms.   And that the Americans would vote for an undefined "esperanza y cambio" as opposed to an old, honourable warrior, hero, somewhat conservative, "reasonable" person with a long, long record of mediocre to inspired service to his country.  (His words, in both English and Spanish).
 
      El Gringo Viejo pointed out that the Germans thought that an Austrian corporal, house painter seemed like a good choice at one time.   To which this Mexican businessman answered, "Yes, but Obama is worse than Hitler was.   Obama is an American who hates America, and Hitler was deluded into thinking that Germany was greatest and guided by the Cosmos to rule the Earth.   Obama wants to destroy "....lo bueno que es Gringo...lo bueno que norteamerica se resprenta para toda la humanidad."       (....the good that is American...the good that the United States of America represents in and of itself  for all humanity.)
     In any regard, the group was all unified in the bitter, disgusted, distaste for that impudent pretender who wields the sceptre in the White House (when Michelle and Valerie Jerrod so allow).
      We all detained each other railing and howling like a pack of coyotes about the National Socialist usurper....celebrating the fact that when Michelle sends the waggons for us, we know that we will at least have pleasant companions for our trip to the re-education camps.
 
    The girl in the ticket booth was very cheerful and dispensed to-morrow's pair of tickets for El Gringo Viejo and his boss.    I asked,"Is there much interest in the show?    There are not a lot of people for the early afternoon showing."
     "They all came yesterday to buy their tickets.   There are no tickets left until the 10:00pm showing."
     "You've sold out four screenings?''
     "Yes.   And two sold out for tomorrow afternoon.   Your noon showing is about half sold out now."
     ''People like us, " I referred to the batch that had returned for the openning of the ticket booth...mostly the original eleven and a few others.
     "Some younger...about the same...nice people...they say 'thank you'.   You all are different."
     "Different?"
     "Yeah, nicer.  Quiet and not demanding.  Nice people".
 
     "Well, what do I say?   Thanks for being here on time and taking us seriously and treating us like we're important!"  I finished the engagement and drove the 9 miles back to the cave, thinking, "Maybe there is hope".




There will be more later.   Thanks for being with us.   Please re-read my abusive previous post, and consider the hoops the Obsolete Press jumped through to protect Billy Jeff Blythe, simply and solely because he favours all abortion all the time for any reason....and because, while they called him a  "moderate"....he is also a dedicated marxist.   He is that kind of marxist who, like Frida, Diego, and Hillary, wants socialist life solutions for everyone but they themselves.   That post was published just before the dumboe in Missouri made a dumboe of himself.    Measure the reaction by the Obsolete Press to the dumboe, while the adulation for a brutal misogynist can exceed no bounds.

El Gringo Viejo

Lest we forget

  • This is a partial list of activities of a person who is called by the Obsolete Press, "America's Favourite Statesman", or "America's favourite politician", or "The Man Who Balanced the Budget in the 1990s".

  •       Further analysis reveals that the ''prosperity of the 1990s" had little or nothing to do with William Jefferson Blythe.   He entered the White House after campaigning on the premise that America during the early 1990s was suffering "the worse economy in the last 50 years...".   There were enough Americans voting then who were stupid or gullible or self-immersed to the point that they thought such a slogan sounded good whether it was true or not.   It was not true, of course.   Further, the actual situation was that the nation's economy was in fact entering into a very vigourous recovery mode and had been entering that mode starting about four months before the election.  The Obsolete Press forgot to tell the electorate, and the electorate was involved in one of those episodes when thought was replaced by self-pity and the epidemic of the Hawaiian disease of mewanna and gimme-gimme.

         The actual and truthful time-line is something different.    It's like "Who won the vice-presidential debate between Biden and Palin?"   Everybody knows it was Biden because he is smart and Palin is a Bimbo.   But, what everybody knows is not true.   Even the Obsolete Press had to admit that "Palin more than held her own"...."Palin mopped the floor with Biden, he's just getting up there in years...you know."  What actually lost the campaign for McCain was his ridiculous "suspension of campaigning" and trundling up to the White House to approve some stupid notion that by spending 1,000,000,000,000.00 USD we would have prosperity in our time.   The next ten days...according to Rasmussen and Gallup....McCain went from a 6 point positive to a 6 point negative.

          The following are those kind words that actually tell the truth about the 8 years of glory and perfection and bi-partisanship and perpetual good feelings that came from the glorious leadership of Billy Jeff Blythe.

         He ran on the promise of "a middle class tax cut"....and that he would have a government that looked more like America.  He knew what it was like to be black and what is was like to find out your church had been burned down just because it was a black church.   He even rode in the back of the bus when he lived in Hope, Arkansas so that he could relate with the oppressed black population.   Of course...during those days...there was no municipal bus service in Hope, Arkansas....nor were there any black church burnings.   White churches, yes.   Black churches, no.
         Billy Jeff dealt in and with whores and other personalities of low degree, like drug traffickers and land scammers.    Once governor, Billy Jeff appointed one of his whores to the position of State Director of Child Protective Services, leaping over another candidate for the position who was widely regarded by black and white, Republican and Democrat, judicial and social evaluations, etc. as overwhelmingly the best choice for the position.   The whore was white and had qualifications that ranged from scant to nil, and the qualificant was black.   Chalk up another racial progress milestone set in place by the Man From Hope.
          Billy Jeff also was famous for his insatiable capacity, not only for sex, but also for cocaine. He frequently appeared with a white mustachio, teary, blood-shot eyes, and hyper disposition.   His wife, Hillary Rodham, cared little because she had her own distractions, mainly in the person of Vince Foster and balancing a billing racket at the Rose Law Firm that hired her in order to have an in with Governor Billy Jeff.   Several people went to prison because of her willingness...some say active measures willingness...to enforce her wish that other people, like Web Hubble, take the fall for her "billing irregularities".




    ElectoralCollege1992.svg
    This is the electoral map for the 1992 Presidential elections.
    Perot did not receive one Electoral C0llege vote.   Clinton ran
    third in Texas, behind Bush and Perot.   Oddly, in the 2000 Presidential
     elections, Al Gore failed to carry his home state of Tennessee as a
     Presidential candidate in his own right four years later.

         Billy Jeff floated to the top of a miserable field of Democrat presidential candidates known as "The Seven Dwarfs" in 1992.   He had delivered the most boring, stupid, and rambling speech in the history of the Democrat National Conventions in 1988....being cheered and rendered a standing ovation when he said those memorable words...."....and finally, in closing....".
          The candidate everyone had wanted in 1992 was Mario Cuomo, governor of New York.   Mario knew, however that no one could beat George Herbert Walker Bush after his successful war to liberate Kuwait and a generally inoffensive Presidency.   Bush did endorse "mid-night basketball" as the cure-all to urban violence, and he did decide to break his word about "No New Taxes", made at the Republican Convention in 1988.
         Enter a moderately deranged Third Party Candidate by the name of H. Ross Perot, who made absolutely no sense when he spoke, and had no platform except to "....get under the hood and fix it"...and America had ingredients for the unbelievable.   G.H.W. Bush decided to look at his watch during one of the 3-way debates, and that did it.   The bedwetters, thumbsuckers, and slugs who wanted something for free voted for the "nice daddy" who used terms like ...." I feel your pain,"....all the while yukking up his sleeve.    Jennifer Flowers, an Arkansas saloon singer, smart and good looking and with a smidgen of class, came forward to remind the world that Billy Jeff would lie like a rug when it would have been easier to tell the truth,  and that he had a lot of "issues" with women.
         By this point the already Obsolete Press had decided that Perot was crazy, Bush had been a lap-dog for Reagan when he served Reagan as Vice-President for eight year, so they had to go with the Hillbilly.   We must never forget how viscerally the Obsolete Press hated and hates Ronald Wilson Reagan.    Billy Jeff won with 43 percent of the vote, the first of his two less-than-50% victories.   President Bush wound up with 37.5 percent, and H. Ross Perot had 19.5 percent. 
         During the campaign's heated moments it was decided to have Hillary and Billary go before America so that Billy Jeff could say, "Ours has not been a perfect marriage, but we are in a committed relationship now and ....blah...blah....blah."   Women with limited discernment capacity and intellectual impairments, voted for Billy Jeff about 2 - 1 - 1.   Before two weeks had transpired in his Presidency, Billy Jeff had to report to the people that "....after working harder than I have every worked in my life..."  he could not find a way to provide the tax relief to the middle class that he had promised.   Not only that, but it was going to be necessary to pass a RETROACTIVE income tax increase on everyone just to keep up with the obligations of the central government.   It was all Bush's fault and "....he just didn't tell us the truth about how bad it really was...". 
        Clinton and his Democrat Congressional majority voted in sharp tax increases, and the recovery that had been underway, went south.   On top of that, his ash-tray slinging, potty mouthed hag of a wife had embarked upon the Ist Great Socialised Medical System Project which was rejected soundly by the people.    It had 4,000 pages and was written up entirely in secret.
         Like it's progeny 16 years later (they never stop trying), Hillary's nationalisation of the American medical system brought about something that the American people had not seen in forty years.   That would be a Republican majority in the House of Representatives.   The Senate was held by the Republicans, albeit not by the two-thirds number in those days that was required to override a filibuster.    We began a glorious period of "gridlock" which meant that it would be more and more difficult for the left to push through its "tax, tax; spend, spend; elect, elect" platform.
         Republicans pushed through two "welfare reform" bills that provided for little snippets of cuts in the increases for funding of "feed the fat miracle babies until they are 65 years old" programs which the President promptly vetoed and demagogued to Hell and back.  Finally, early in his second term, the Congress sent him an even stronger bill with a threat that each successive bill would be tougher and tougher, and the Man From Hope finally relented and signed the famous "Welfare Reform Act".   He sent signals...very blunt signals...to the people in charge of the "We Buy Our Votes with Your Money Program" that he would try to "repair" many provisions of the bill at some later time.  Something named Monica got in the way.

         After Clinton pushed through his tax increases in 1992, the economy went back into a dive.   For two years it stumbled a bit ahead, at bit backwards and it was a rough patch.   Clinton went to the Texas State Democrat Convention in 1994 and declared, "I bet you all think I increased your taxes too much....Well, you know....I think I did too", yuk, ayuk, yuk he grinned at the 1,000 sullen faces looking, unsmilingly, back at him.
         Spending increases were slowed down, and tweakings were done to try to alleviate the damage done to the old Reagan tax schedule.   The Clintons became embroiled in more really stinky matters that finally resulted in Hillary almost being indicted for various charges, and Bill losing his law license and being hit with a 25,000 dollar fine for "purposefully misleading  testimony" given before a judge during depositions in one of his many sexual assault issues.

         By early 1999, it appeared that the Central Government's budget was coming into balance due to the Republicans having put at least a slight bit of pressure on the brake pedal.   But, the "Tech Bubble" was bursting, and Simi Valley was starting to see a lot of "for lease" signs.  Many, many companies had sold stock, taken loans, and generally invested lots of lucre and sweat and tears into products that, while ingenious, were not able to be applied to the production of anything that could be sold.    So, for the better part of two years....1999 and 2000....the American economy went into a trough.
         Bush came in in 2001 and immediately proposed across the board tax cuts.   The economy just as immediately began to reactivate and was starting to hum, when two airplanes flew into the World Trade Center, one into the Pentagon, and another crashed in rural Pennsylvania.   Even after that, within 10 months the engines of economic activity had the United States on the road again.  The ticking time-bomb in the hall closet, however...that being the FmHa and FHA housing bubble, created by writing up sales to people who had no earthly hope of ever paying off the loans, was busy ticking away.   Bush's tepid admonition to Congress that the problem was going to blow up, sooner rather than later, was met with derisive laughter and sneers by the Democrats who vowed to filibuster any changes to the old 1998 rules of buyer qualification for housing financing.

         So...there we have it.   The Clintons' Co-Presidency which produced the Greatest Economic Decade in the History of the World....was actually a seedy, crummy soap opera, kept afloat by the Obsolete Media who actively covered up every possible ugly detail of the Clintons' incredible depravity.    They killed one recovery, and then taxed the nation into an extended recession, and then were forced against their will to take the most minuscule steps to fiscal responsibility and then disregarded everything while each fought and clawed for his and her social and political life for the final 3 1/2 years of their Co-Presidency.
     
         The first two years were a disaster.   Clinton had to go hide at Camp David and in Arkansas to "find his core beliefs"....seriously....he ran and was elected to the presidency without knowing his core beliefs.   ? !     The middle four years were a period of adjustment forced by a Republican Congress.   And the final two years were a disaster due to the "Tech Bubble" bursting.    The train was put out on the track by the Bush administration.    The Bush and the Republicans decided to be "Democrat Light" and killed the goose, the golden eggs, and became baby bolsheviks.

       The Clintons were so disgusting that not even a perverted old hypocritical slug like AlGore wanted them around his candidacy during the 2000 campaign.   (Do you all remember AlGore's big smooch with his dumbo wife in front of the convention and the national television audience?   Gastroenteritis and regurgitative issues prevailed throughout the populace for five days after that.

         Billary and Hillary will always be popular among that group that uses terms like "reproductive rights'' and "women's choice'' and "womens' issues''  when they mean to say...."Hooray for the the solar powered Abort-o-matic Machine!".   Other serious analysts see their time at 1600 Pennsylvania as a pointless low-point in the history of the Republic.        

    A very brief summary, drawn from another source, includes these sample entries.   We repeat, this is a very abbreviated list:
  • A 1969 charge by a Eileen Wellstone, 19-year-old English woman who said Clinton assaulted her after she met him at a pub near the Oxford University campus where the future President was a student. A retired State Department employee, who asked not to be identified, confirmed this week that he spoke with the family of the girl and filed a report with his superiors. Clinton admitted having sex with the girl, but claimed it was consensual. The victim's family which included the victim's grandfather who was a Peer in the House of Lords,  declined to pursue the case.   It did not seem fitting to make public the details of the incident in a Royal Court.   The victim had damage to her teeth, a dislocated jaw, a black eye, and a dislocated shoulder.
  • In 1972, a 22-year-old woman told campus police at Yale University that she was sexually assaulted by Clinton, who was a law student at the college. No charges were filed, but retired campus policemen contacted by Capitol Hill Blue confirmed the incident;  this woman had her faced pushed from behind into a rough brick wall, and multiple bruises, along with the bitten lip, one of Billy's trademarks.
  • In 1974, a female student at the University of Arkansas complained that then-law professor Bill Clinton tried to prevent her from leaving his office during a conference. She said he groped her and forced his hand inside her blouse. Clinton claimed the student ''came on'' to him and she left the school shortly after the incident. Several former students at the University have confirmed the incident in confidential interviews; in this case the family said that the ''law professor" had made threatening telephone calls to the girl, and that his wife had been especially cruel with her remarks.
  • Broaddrick, a volunteer in Clinton's attorney general campaign, said he raped her in 1978;   She suffered the bitten lip and also received  an assurance  that she needn't worry about being pregnant because Billy Jeff had had mumps after the onset of  puberty, so he was "safe".  
  • From 1978-1980, during Clinton's first term as governor of Arkansas, state troopers assigned to protect the governor reported seven complaints from women who said Clinton forced, or attempted to force, himself on them sexually. One retired state trooper said in an interview that the common joke among those assigned to protect Clinton was "who's next?";  one of these girls, also a Miss Such and Such State, had been treated so roughly that she thought she was going to be murdered.   She suffered such psychological trauma that she moved to Canada and still lives in some undisclosed, rural location.   She moved there, according to her family, because she had been told that she would be killed in order to keep her quiet if necessary.
  • Elizabeth Ward, the Miss Arkansas who won the Miss America crown in 1982, told friends she was forced by Clinton to have sex with him shortly after she won her state crown. Last year, Ward, who is now married with the last name of Gracen, told an interviewer she did have sex with Clinton but said it was consensual. She later recanted that interview and said she had been threatened by Clinton supporters into claiming the sex was consensual.
  • Paula Corbin, an Arkansas state worker, filed a sexual harassment case against Clinton after an encounter in a Little Rock hotel room where the then-governor exposed himself and demanded oral sex. Clinton settled the case with Jones recently with a cash payment.
  • Sandra Allen James, a former Washington, DC, political fundraiser says Presidential candidate-to-be Clinton invited her to his hotel room during a political trip to the nation's capital in 1991, pinned her against the wall and stuck his hand up her dress. She says she screamed loud enough for the Arkansas State Trooper stationed outside the hotel suite to bang on the door and ask if everything was all right, at which point Clinton released her and she fled the room. When she reported the incident to her boss, he advised her to keep her mouth shut if she wanted to keep working. Miss James has since married and left Washington.
  • Kathleen Willey, a White House volunteer, reported that Clinton grabbed her, fondled her breast and pressed her hand against his genitals during an Oval Office meeting in November, 1993.  This assault occurred one day after the death of Willey's husband, by his own hand.   Willey, who told her story in a 60 Minutes interview, became a target of a White House-directed smear campaign after she went public.   Later a man passed by Kathleen Willey's house, jogging.   He stopped when he saw Willy on the front stoop and said, "Really sorry to hear about what happened to your cat."   The cat had been killed by blunt force trauma and placed on the front stoop about a week earlier.



  •      This is a VERY short list of the Clintons' "accomplishments".   During the first run for the Presidency, Hillary established a complete, separate office inside the campaign specifically designed to control what were referred to as "Bimbo Eruptions".   They made a list of over 400 different women who were in a position to "make up stories" about Billy Jeff.   This is the man who is everybodys favourite statesman.   According to the Obsolete Press.   And of course, Hillary....who is everybodys favourite statesperson, because of what she has done for everybody...and all her accomplishments....like when...you know she did all that stuff about those things and everything....you know.    America was really impressed when she handled everything so well during that....oh!  that's right....Janet Reno did that one.   Well, maybe she was really brave, corkscrewing into Kosovo...running across the tarmac with her flak jacket and helmet....dodging sniper fire....wow....kinda...you know....whatever.    Well, she might would have done it if it had been necessary, you know....Huh?  Huh?

    This is placed into evidence to remind the folks what the Democrats considered to be a really fine person...like Teddy Kennedy, Barney Frank, Gary Studds, and all those folks who have such stellar moral qualities.   We have a dumboe who stumbled into a liberal radio show's trap and falls for it....make a stupid remark....and there you have it.   The rule is "If a Republican double parks he must be taken to the guillotine.   If a Democrat kills a girl, puts her body into the car, and points it into Chappaquidick Sound he is called the "Lion of the Senate"and venerated...almost worshipped.    Think of all he did for everyone.


    El Gringo Viejo

    And men shall cry,"Peace! Peace!"

    It is written.  ....."And men shall cry, Peace! Peace!, and there will be no peace."... but like in Porgy and Bess, Gershwin reminds us that what we hear from religious commentators might not be precisely what we think.  ''It ain't necessarily so...."

        Saint Paul does write in his first message to the Thessalonians the following:
    "For yourselves, know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.   For when they say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman who is with child; and they shall not escape."
    Present day Thessalonika, named for the half-
    sister of Alexander the Great

         El Gringo Viejo had to suffer through another parade of arrogant, right-brain thinking lefties who are on a leftie pilgrammage.   This particular group is derived from the pain of Mexican poet Sicilia who lost a son to cartel violence. The son died along with six others a few months back.   He, of course, says his son was a good boy and had nothing to do with drugs or illegal activity.  The six with whom he was keeping company....well...not so much.
         Several leftie pacifistas are travelling with Sicilia through Mexico and the United States calling for "a new approach" to the cartel violence.   They blame the present, outgoing President of Mexico for failing in his war against the cartels, and they ask for a "different approach to drug policies that places individuals, their welfare, and their dignity at the center, calling for alternatives to prohibition."   Sicilia and the lefties named below blame Felipe Calderon Hinojosa for the entirity of the violence, seemingly excusing the cartels themselves.
         The lefties, Guillermo del Toro, Alfonso Cuaron, and Diego Luna, also take a "hard line against weapons", calling on the United States and to take stronger measures to stop weapons smuggling into Mexico.   The lefties also "ask" that both the United States and Mexico hold financial institutions accountable  for the prevention of money laundering through increased surveillance, investigations, fines, and criminal charges." 
         In the words of Sicilia's organistion,  
    "One of Mexico’s best-known poets, Javier Sicilia, laid down his pen last year after his 24-year-old son was murdered by drug traffickers in Cuernavaca, Mexico. In his son’s memory, Sicilia created the Movement for Peace with Justice and Dignity to urge an end to the drug violence — violence that has left an estimated 60,000 dead, 10,000 disappeared, and more than 160,000 Mexicans displaced from their homes over the past six years. Sicilia is now in the United States to launch a month-long peace caravan to "bring to the American people’s conscience their shared responsibility for the thousands of dead, missing and displaced in the drug war." [includes rush transcript]
         The group is holding an "event" at a standard Rural Legal Aid, Welfare, United Farm Workers meeting place where there will be "....testimonies of drug war victims and musical performances that will be followed by a dinner...".

    Javier Sicilia

        Now, the question has been begged, and the answer cometh.   Perhaps a good lead-in to the above posted bilge is the response, included in the article amazingly enough, of a Reynosa businessman saying,"The only thing protecting the citizens from members of organised crime is the Military.   If they end the war and send the troops back like these hippies ask, then who is going to protect us?  The police are a joke, and the man~osos (slick and tricky ones) are not going to suddenly turn into humanitarians should the soldiers leave."
         It is interesting that the arrival of these people came during a new, albeit small dust-up of fighting between the various ridiculous sub-groups of these cartels, each fighting the other, all mainly composed of 18 year-olds zombitos who arrive, from God knows where, here in Matamoros and Reynosa.   The laughable jibberish about "preventing spill-over violence"  is such a joke here that we do not even laugh any more.    Scores of shoot-outs, auto chases, and intense violence has been the rule on the Texas side for the past three years.   It began to occur almost thirty years ago....steadily building until now we have between 5 to 30 people killed every week in the four county Lower Rio Grande Valley of Texas.....all directly attributable to the cartels and their handmaidens, the pandillas who are products of fatherless births, and in the United States, public assistance.   It is good to report, concerning the little dust-up of factions and fractions of the cartels here that the Mexican Army essentially slaughtered perhaps as many as two score over a period of three days in and around the Matamoros and Reynosa area.   The cartel people fight and do not care where the bullets land, while the Army tries and usually succeeds in pushing the enemy into "firing channels" where only the objective is eliminated, in almost all cases. 
         Also, dear lefties, the reason Mexico was prostrate against the violence is because Mexico is essentially disarmed....in terms of the common class of people....and the law abiding.   Procedures for buying and finding ammunition for a privately held pistol are labyrinthine, at best.   And....in spite of Obama and Holder's best efforts to arm as many cartel thugs as possible....most of the weaponry and ammunition for the cartels comes from Eastern European, Russian, and Red Chinese suppliers, through Cuba and Venezuela.
         The "Giuliani Rule" of not permitting a broken window to go unpunished when he was Mayor of New York City is still paying dividends in spite of the concentrated stupidity of the present mayor's silly and corrupt governance.    The notion of tolerating the cartels, or allowing unbridled implicit permission to the drug and human traffickers to push their death and degeneracy ever northward  would...nay, already has....penetrated very, very deeply into the fabric of Mexican society.   The "solution" proposed by the Nouveaux Train de  la Paix is nothing more than a fond, conceited notion by extreme upper-middle class and wealthy lefties who resent anything disturbing their bubble-wrapped, privileged lives.   They are the same hypocrites that we have in the United States who take private jets to rallies that are being held to condemn George Bush's carbon footprint.   They are Frida and Diego...they never really go away.
         The newspaper article is complete with pictures of the "cannon fodder people" holding up placards demanding the immediate suspension of military patrols (the real objective of all lefties until they gain total power), and for immediate "finding" of some poor lost or kidnapped soul.   Other placards blame the soldiers for having violated civil rights, for killing innocent women and children, and brutalities too numerous to mention.    About one case in every 10,000 claimed has some or any merit.   The Reynosa businessman's comments are a condensation of the overwhelmingly overwhelming majority of Mexicans.

    Odds and Ends

    We feel as though we have arrived.   One of the advertisers that were putting up those cute little announcements one sees to the right on the blog and within text groupings on the website, informed us that our content was racist and extreme.   So, they are not going to be advertising with us, no more, no how.
         We were crushed, and stayed up all night.   Started smoking again.  Called this morning to beg them to come back.  We'll change everything, do anything to have them come back.   The only problem is, they have never had an advertisement on this blog or on the website, but they are going to discontinue anyway.   Like Al Gore taking several hundred thousand dollars from foreign donors at the Buddhist Temple in Los Angeles....all in cash and check....for the 1996 re-election campaign.   When the story made it into the light, Gore pronounced sanctimoniously, "We have never taken any illegal donations from foreign sources, and we'll never do it again."    One of my favourite political statements in this lifetime.
         Oddly, we have never selected them as eligible advertisers.   We noticed that every third point about their fine company dealt with "sustainable" this and "carbon footprint" that, along with "giving back" to the community, "women's issues" and of course "LGBT sensitive".  In keeping with their hypocritical arrogance, much if not most of their product is made in Red China. 
         Since the crushing news, two more advertisers have quietly signed on, no fanfare, just got in line with the queue.    We did ask them not to grovel or beg.
         This goes back, in the recesses of what little is left of my mind,  to the pinko couple who came and stayed at the Quinta.   It was not all that long ago.  They were very nice.   Professors.   They stayed three or four nights....and were very complementary.   They liked my cooking, and they got along with Diana, and they got along with Alvaro and the cats and the dogs.    A month later we received a very hot email about how extreme our politics are and that they were never going to read the blog again and that they regretted ever showing up at our place.
         We had noted the Obama sticker in the back window of their auto.   But, clients are clients.  One of those "Oh, well" moments.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 

         The issue of Janet Napolitano.....and for that matter Janet Reno.....allows a very bright light to be shewn upon a very, very dark mess.    Complaints have been piling up in the Federal Government workers' union for two years about the establishment of a peculiar girls' club at the top of that useless thing called "Homeland Security Department".   The inability to make sense of anything Janet Napolitano....or Kathryn Sybilius of "Health and Human Services" for that matter....have to say has been de rigueur from our first indirect contact with either.   All three of them are chronic, pathological liars which is a common trait of marxists and something they share with their immediate superior.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
      
          And now we have another "shooter incident".   First round up all the usual suspects.   Tea Party people.   Gun owners.  Republicans.  
          We go through the other recent ones:   A Korean student at the University of  Virginia, a Muslim "soldier" in the Army Medical Corps, a brain-addled kook in Tucson,  two dunces at Columbine who had been treated for ADDT and RRBO and YENZ with dilantin, mellaril, Quaalude, and the like since they were 6 years old, another dunce who apparently did not like Batman, and another idiot, a National Socialist, who could not tell the difference between a Muslim and a Sikh.    In each case the Obsolete Press immediately inferred that the guilty party had to be a Tea Party person, a white racist, a Republican, a gun owner, or the like.   In each case, the Republican conservative, Tea Party type....the legal gun owner....the normal dumbo so despised by the progressive elitists is immediately charged and convicted.
          However, now comes a homosexual, shooting an unarmed building superintendent/security guard.   The homosexual identifies himself as a homosexual.  It is his persona.   It is his profession.   Like Jesse Jackson is a professional Negro, this new personality is a professional homosexual.   This individual has a bag with 15 Chick-fil-A sandwiches, and another container with 50 extra rounds of ammunition, and the clear intent to kill or maim as many racist, fascist, retrograde people possible....because they have committed the crime of believing that marriage is a sacred contract between a man and a woman.
           And in the Obsolete Media....almost to a 100% level....there is no mention.    To them, it is only to be expected, perhaps even justifiable.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~   

         In keeping with the above vein, the Obsolete Press almost without fail, does not report and/or does not analyse in detail the avalanche of black on black murder and crime.    It certainly does not report the amount of homosexual on homosexual murder and crime.    Because of the purposeful destruction by white progressives and marxists of the Black race in the United States, 30 million black people in the United States kill among themselves in two years what it has taken 110 million Mexicans six years of full-scale war to kill not quite as many of each other.
          The Obsolete Press will never suggest the following fact to the attention of their decreasing pool of audience zombies:    in these days,  more white people are murdered by black people in a month than there were black people ever lynched in the past.    And, be aware, the fault for 90% of this violence is attributable to white progressives and marxists who simultaneously tried to re-enslave the black race, this time to welfare dependency, and tried to eliminate them through passive euthanasia.   The white progressives argued among themselves, sometimes openly, as to whether black people in America should be made welfare serfs to be turned out to vote upon command for the socialist agenda, or, like Abraham Lincoln wished, sent to dig and die in Panama or returned to Africa or simply be spayed and neutered.  We are reaping the whirlwind.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
         Finally, so that the "cancelling advertiser" can understand how truly contrite and ashamed El Gringo Viejo is for having offended the sensibilities of their sensibilities, and in deference to their higher motives, and purer understanding of the nature of the human condition, the following is submitted.

         Nathan Bedford Forrest was the Confederate general Robert E. Lee declared to be the best commander in the field on either side during the War Between the States.   Forrest, from Tennessee, has long been typified as a semi-literate, rough-spoken rustic who was fighting with ruthless frenzy to either sustain slavery or to kill all the Negroes.  He is especially reviled by the half-truthers for his assault on Fort Pillow, where Union officers pushed up ill-trained, recently deployed Union coloured troops to face the ferocious attack of advanced elements of Forrest's battle hardened division.
         It is a matter of fact that revisionist historians and ignorant know-it-alls, and people who say "everybody knows....", are unaware or unwilling to admit the truth of the following.    In the Command Squadron of Cavalry of Bedford Forrest's staff, there were about 90 mounted soldiers, essentially one light-cavalry company.   Forty of the soldiers were slaves on the plantation and the businesses of Nathan Bedford Forrest when the War broke out.   His cook and his valet/horse groom are not counted among these 40, although most certainly they were regarded as combatants by the Union military.
         Valour has value.   Of this Command Squadron of 90 soldiers, only 4 were killed in action, and only 10 were wounded, although they were frequently involved in combat that was dreadfully murderous.    Of the Negro loyalists, none were killed, 6 were wounded, and only one deserted.   The deserter was thought to have been addled by repeated close strikes of explosive artillery devices.   He was not prosecuted or punished.
          Nathan Bedford Forrest made a contract with his black personnel as the War became unavoidable.   He told them that they would be manumitted at the end of hostilities is the South were to prevail, and if the Union were to carry the day, they would be free anyway.  he reminded them that he had been straight in all his dealings with them, and that he considered them as close as any friend or relative that he had, and that he would be proud to dress them in Grey.   Every age-eligible male slave became a Confederate cavalryman that day.
           They were emancipated, but  each already had his letter of manumission to carry as well.  Forrest had given each his manumission at the end of 18 months of the Hostilities.  And as an aside, Nathan Bedford Forrest founded the Ku Klux Klan as a veterans' organisation after the War.   When it morphed into a "Frighten and Intimidate the Darkeys" organisation, he ordered it disbanded, and said that dealing with issues of blacks and whites had many better alternatives.   AND!  He also funded and was instrumental in the  founding of the first Negro College of Law in Tennessee.    He had also gotten into a slight bit of trouble with some dumboes before the War when it was learnt that the Negro children on his properties were being instructed in ciphering, reading, and composition.
          The more El Gringo Viejo has learnt about this man during the years so contradicts what his "book value" is, that it leaves one in the position of suspecting every written thing about anything traditional.  Please watch the following attachment from beginning to end, about 8 minutes.

    2016

         We are urging all OROGs to seek out the time and place for the showing of the presentation "2016" in your area.  El Gringo Viejo went to a movie house one time.   The last movie was "Red Dawn".   I yelled at my son and daughter all the way back home....16 blocks....admonishing them that the movie was a foreshadowing of the coming Russian-Cuban-Nicaragua invasion of the United States.    Perhaps it was a little tough on a four year old boy and a nine year old girl...my son stayed up all night rocking back and forth in the corner of his room, grasping his BB gun tightly and looking out the window nervously.
         My daughter just went to her room and went to sleep, because she had decided that if the commies were to come, she would just feed them oatmeal and onions and that would put them on the run back to Nicaragua.
         However.   This particular ouvre de arte politique is done by people of very, very high credential.   The director is John Sullivan who brought "Schindler's List" to the screen.

    
    Dinesh D'Souza
                                                                                                                                                           Read what comfortable words D'Souza has written about our esteemed President:

    Barack Obama:
    At the conclusion of a commentary article for Forbes magazine about President Barack Obama, D'Souza writes: "...[O]ur President is trapped in his father's time machine. Incredibly, the U.S. is being ruled according to the dreams of a Luo tribesman of the 1950s. This philandering, inebriated African socialist, who raged against the world for denying him the realization of his anticolonial ambitions, is now setting the nation's agenda through the reincarnation of his dreams in his son. The son makes it happen, but he candidly admits he is only living out his father's dream. The invisible father provides the inspiration, and the son dutifully gets the job done. America today is governed by a ghost.

    We vigourously urge all OROGs to make every effort to attend a screening of this movie.   If you do not like it, you can send El Gringo Viejo the price of admission, and we can call it even.
