Letter to a Friend

It is not my wish to dwell in the political or even religious or philosophical realm. My opinions and thoughts pertaining to those matters are set in stone. It interests me naught the opinion of another. He shall not change my line of reasoning, and I shan't be the bit interested in changing his.

     My efforts on the blog are simply railing at the storm;  like a somewhat addled lighthouse casting its light to whatever wretch might be within the embrace of the terrible waves and the lashing winds.

     However, I shall hold until my last that:
 

    Charity by the hand of government is not charity.  Charity by the hand of government is the most sublime form of enslavement. Take of it, and one becomes a serf. The giver becomes what he is....a tyrant full of rules and requirements that demand that the recipient dance to what music and which steps he will take. And the tyrant will pay for his largesse with the money of others....so long as it might last.

    The things governments and other tyrants wish to give its serfs take the form of Gran Pronunciamientos that must be voted for, before the huddled masses can be allowed to even read the words.

     We choose to participate less and less as the days grow shorter and shorter.   We do not even want the "jobs" that Mr. Romney says "he' wants to "give" us.   Certainly we do not want the guaranteed slavery of Mr. Obama's socialist quagmire.   We just want a government that would keep records, provide for a fair and impartial jurisprudential system that would resolve disputes between States based upon the precepts of English Common Law, and leave the various States to deal with their own affairs as they might.    The Consitution provides that the central government should operate a Postal Service that would unite the various States in matters of commercial and social intercourse and provide for a common defence.   Perhaps the central government could occupy itself with those chores and none other.

     Imagine, Mr. Beatles,  if there were not 253,904 regulations pertaining to the length, width, ergodynamics of a potatoe peeler. Imagine if there were not 538,277 requirements and rules pertaining to the ethnicity, race, sexual orientation, disability, aged, intellectual capacity, emotional stability, and hair colour....and where they  all park and go to the rest-room...of the people involved in the making of the potatoe peeler.

     Imagine, Mr. Beatles, if there were not a million meaningless harpies demanding this and that change to the order of things, simply to develop a perfection of society that they deem better than mine...or that guy's over there....or hers....Imagine.   A perfection of society, that even if it were to seem reasonable, could not...can not....ever be attained....or deigned. Imagine

Imagine,

Laugh A Little.

In a small Texas town, (Mt. Vernon ) Drummond's bar began construction on a new building to increase their business.. The local Baptist church started a campaign to block the bar from opening with petitions and prayers. Work progressed right up till the week before opening when lightning struck the bar and it burned to the ground.

The church folks were rather smug in their outlook after that, until the bar owner sued the church on the grounds that the church was ultimately responsible for the demise of his building, either through direct or indirect actions or means.

The church vehemently denied all responsibility or any connection to the building's demise in its reply to the court.

As the case made its way into court, the judge looked over the paperwork. At the hearing he commented, "I don't know how I'm going to decide this, but as it appears from the paperwork, we have a bar owner who believes in the power of prayer, and an entire church congregation that does not."

Just Can't Take It Anymore!

     While reading a screed with comments concerning what a great guy Tom Brokaw is, it was noted that several people observed that he had finally begun to become substantially what he had always hinted at...a stark raving mad socialist and a boot-lick for Obama.   Various people commented ahead of this person listed below, saying in essence that it is a shame that Brokaw has suffered a bit of a physical setback, but that he is also no longer just a closet pinko.    So, a worm comes along and casts asparagus upon the elephants in the corral and I JUST CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!!!!   SCREAM BLOODY MURDER!   SUFFER ME NOT THE MADNESS OF MARXIST LUNACY!!!

 

Now , I feel better.   Not much better, but at least a little better.   Let me chew up anothr No-Doz and take another swig of my Air-Wick and everything will back to abnormal.

This, entered below, is a little something that can be printed.   Normally these issuances from the bowels of Leftism are filled with the vilest and coarsest profanity and racial epithets.   But it is still the common thought that comes from the CENTER of the Demcrat Party and the liberal/progressive cabal that unites the mission of the Democrats and the  Stalinist Obsolete Press.

 

Rep. Allen West (R-Nutjob), the deranged and paranoid teabagger Republican, who was elected into office by equally deranged and paranoid people, was the focus of controversy after making some incoherent speech in which he demanded that liberals and President Obama “get the hell out of the United States of America.” West is renowned for making blatantly false and utterly extremist comments in his quest to join Bachmann and company in turning the Republican Party into a South Park episode.

     It should be pointed out, of course, that Lt. Col. Allen West is a United States Congressman who was recently re-nominated to serve a constituency on the Florida east coast.   It should also be pointed out that Allen West is a highly decorated combat officer who saw action in combat, and who was disciplined for threatening to provide a free sex change operation to an Afghani Taliban captured combatant.  In the heat of battle the prisoner was identified to the Colonel as a person who knew where several American soldiers had been taken after their own capture during the same on-going battle.
     Faced with the alternative, the Taliban thug gave up his buds, so as to have something to look forward to concerning his deal with the 73 virgins in Paradise.   The Colonel personally led a successful effort to take back the American soldiers.   The good Congressman Colonel is renowned for being adamant about his affection and concern for the Republic.   Affection and concern for the American Republic is something the present president and the American leftist amalgam despises.

Developments and some Clarity

     During the past few days we have been combing publicly available information and deriving other sources of information that are less public concerning the incident involving two American operatives and their Mexican Navy Captain buddy.   As many know, these three individuals were assaulted by three official car-loads, containing 12 persons, some in Federal Police uniforms, others in higher quality civilian threads.

     The first impression El Gringo Viejo had was that the Americans and their Captain were caught up in a mob-hit, like a couple of years ago between San Luis Potosi' and San Luis de la Paz, both in the central State of San Luis Potosi,  on Mexico's main north-south highway.   But, there were oddities with this scenario.

      For one, all twelve of the Federal Policemen were actually Federal Policemen.   All twelve remained at the scene and rendered aid to the Gringos and their Navy Captain Buddy.   With the number of rounds fired, it seemed strange that the Federal Policemen, who go through very rigourous firearms training, would have failed to hit anybody.   All the wounds received by the hapless Gringos and the Captain were indirect...and while significant....were never life threatening.    Then...noticing the firing pattern through the passenger window, it appeared likely that the one doing that shooting was trying to keep the occupant down on the floorboard.   If he had wanted to kill him, he had every clear opportunity, without risk to himself.   That meant that the shooter had a soul.   Cartel people, in all seriousness, have no souls.

 

     Arrive the Army and the Naval Infantry.   They encounter the Federal Policemen still there providing pretty high level first-aid to the wounded.   The combat medics come forward and apply even more advanced medical intervention.  At this point, in a really bad country or among really bad people, the Military and the Police could decide that this was just a case of the referee dropping the flag, no foul no penalty.   They could have just shot the three in the US Embassy SUV, blamed it on the cartels, and then have gone on their way.    Or the authorities could have trumped up any number of stories...planted cocaine on them...poured whiskey on them and/or forced them to discharge their weapons so that the Gringos would test positive for GSR, and have ordered them out of the country as persona non grata.

     That did not happen, either.  The wounded were transported to a hospital in very nearby Cuernavaca.   The  twelve Federal Police officers were detained and taken to a federal prosecutor's detention facility, and then taken on to Mexico City. 

      The policemen said that they would be glad to take a polygraph.   Their story was that they were part of a team that is trying to clear out the last major operators of organised crime, kidnapping, extortion, human and drug trafficking operators in the Cuernavaca area.    It has been a really pronounced effort for about 18 months now, because Cuernavaca is one of those "perfect places" that are found in Mexico.   The City of Perpetual Springtime.   More United States Military General Officers retired there than any other city of less than 1,000,000 people in the world.   Many very wealthy Mexico City and Central Mexico people have first or second homes and/or family compounds in and/or around Cuernavaca.   Six percent of all the roses sold in the United States come from Cuernavaca.   It is really an idyllic place...and all the people....white, mestizo, and red...rich, poor, and in between..., work hard at making or keeping their wealth.  It is a clean and very straightforward place.   It has buildings still in use from the 1530s, the very earliest constructions of the Spanish Colonial epoch.    Everybody there had made it plain, "ENOUGH!!!   Get rid of these vermin."

      So, very steadily for the past few months, fewer and fewer incidents of "express kidnapping", extortion of small and large businesses,  trafficking, inter-cartel gun battles  had occurred.    And the Federal Policemen declared that that was their business that day.   They were staked out on the little used "old highway" between Cuernavaca because there was information from a "call line informant" that a certain black Tahoe that had been circulating for the past few days, in and around Cuernavaca had known wanted persons and was involved in cocaine traffick.

      The vehicle was identified and their plates did not match up to the type of vehicle to which they were attached.    By trailing the vehicle from a disturbance, it was determined that that vehicle had some kind of business out on the Santa Maria highway.   So, when they encountered the Black Tahoe with the diplomatic tags, it was Katy, Bar the door!   And better yet, the guys in the Tahoe tried to make a run for it.   Each party thought the other were bad guys.   The Embassy Tahoe turned down a dirt road, and ran right into two of the three police vehicles involved in the surveillance.   They were finally immobilised as they returned onto the paved highway.

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

     Also, the pro tempore leader of the Gulf Cartel, a really vicious, old, flabby bag of ...garbage, was taken down by the Naval Infantry yesterday, in Altamira, Tamaulipas.   This town is a suburban, petro-industrial, seafood processing, and middle class residential city to the north of and adjacent to Tampico on the Gulf Coast.   He is Mario Cardenas Guillen, known as, for some reason, as El Gordo, and the brother of the infamous and legendary Antonio"Tony Tormenta"  who was killed some time back in Tampico during an assault by the Naval Infantry.   Another brother, Osiel was deported in 2007 to the United States and is serving 25 years in Federal lock-up, to be followed, I believe, by 99 years in Texas Department of Corrections.

      The man pictured above, being guarded by the Naval Infantry Commando Lieutenant, is directly and indirectly responsible  for 3,000 killings.   Approximately 300 - 400 of those people were semi-honest to honest cops, soldiers and naval infantry personnel, and innocent collaterals...men, women, and children during indiscriminate fire engagements between opposing cartels.

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

FINALLY,   the American public is not aware perhaps that during the past several years, Mexican volunteers to the advanced combat units of the army and naval infantry have received commando training from excellent non-commissioned sergeants of the Mexican Army and Naval Infantry, as well as commissioned and non-commissioned personnel from Israel, from Her Majesty's finest, and from retired, contracted, and some say active duty American personnel.    There is still such training provided in North Carolina and other places in the United States for foreign personnel, but the Mexican military has chosen more and more to have such training taket place "in country".   The rumours are that the SEALs are involved, but that is not known by this writer.   Advanced combat professionals and counter insurgency specialists are involved, and that is fairly commonly known on the streets and boulevards of Mexico.   That is why, as they say "....why we have to keep it secret".


That is all for now.   More later.
El Gringo Viejo

Bigot? Racist? Many have recently arrived in Charlotte, North Carolina

     There is one certain group that hates Negroes and Mexicans more than anybody in the world.   They deign to relegate both groups to live on a grey, dull plantation that produces nothing, plants nothing, harvests nothing, and which must be taken care of in every facet of life....from the womb to the tomb...as it is said.

     They will hate this, but El Gringo Viejo knows all their strategic secrets and most of their tactical secrets (which actually never change).   Their strategy and accompanying tactics include terrorising a locale, or a region, or a country to the point that....as in the case of Viet Nam....peasants would flood into the large cities hoping to avoid the terror.   Once this occurred, sapper units and saboteurs could infiltrate and establish cells designed to damage major infrastructure and kill as many innocents as possible.

      The variation in this part of the world is to have "democratic, popular elected governments" promulgate social services that produce toilet paper for currency, rampant bastardy, destruction of the concept of a moral code, be it religious, philosophical, or a combination of the two.   They also attempt to denigrate private property, private enterprise, small business, and any form of self-sufficiency.

       This inevitably results in masses of indisciplinate children who seek identity and connection with something on this earth that lasts for more than 36 hours.   Enter the Mara Salvatrucha XIII, a gang of 200,000 soul-less zombies who require that new inductees cut their mother's throats.   This gang is plenteously represented in its native Honduras, and then in El Salvador, Nicaragua, Guatemala, and finally in the big bananas of the stalk, which is Mexico and the United States.   In the Lower Rio Grande Valley of Texas....four counties....1,000,000 people there are 16 to 20 gangs, the number changes because of "C and C" (casualties and confinement).

        The Mara Salvatrucha play off the issues in Mexico, recruit, establish, and operate principally (but not totally) among the AFDC spawn in these four counties....representing about half the population.   These gangs have membership of at least 15,000 in these counties alone.   The fight among themselves and ally themselves in various floating connections with the Mexican cartels...who are also degraded and ever-floating in numbers and organisation due to C and C.     The entire business is  Death, of course.    The profit for the cartel and gang people is money that is briefly enjoyed.   Please understand that the MSXIII operates in almost every State of the Union and throughout Canada as of this printing.    The grand overall plan of these "control groups" is to flood into the United States and cause crime waves and welfare dependency so as to deteriorate the financial, social, and cultural fabric of the United States of America.   It is not a Tsunami.   It is more like a slow and increasinly violent earthquake...one that spans two, three, or four generations.

        They are being used by these "control groups", each of whom thinks that it is is control.  There are two loosely organised groups of marxists....the larger a Stalinist-oriented group.  The smaller is a really kooky underground that is composed of sometimes shadowy, sometimes open hostiles....Muslim Brotherhood....and like groups.   Then there are the business people who are typified by John Corzine and his ilk...which are divided into a mainly "legitimate" big business group who task, oddly, is to defame Wall Street and financial institutions by taking active measures from the inside of the institutions.

 

      The objective of all this mess is to destroy the concept that is presented by the existence of the United States of America.   This, oddly, leads to a bit of humour.   Not very funny humour, but  humour nonetheless.    The useful idiots and fellow travellers who are certain they are all going to be named Mayor of Boise by the Politburo of the Supreme Soviet repeat illogical, banal bilge that makes sense to people like Nancy Pelosi.   It also makes sense to about 3o percent of the electorate in the United States.   The useful idiots and fellow travellers will all be sent to the gulag...if they are lucky.

      One of the main things that they rely upon to scare the heeby jeebies out of the Negroes and the Mexicans, who they think are stupider than a dead rock, by saying "The Negroes and the Mexicans are too stupid to figure out how to register to vote.   Requiring a voter ID to vote is unfair because they are not smart enough to comply with a rule that any vegetarian tapeworm can figure out."    Then the Grand Agents of Hope and Change sit around the table giving each other "high-fours" and slapping each other on the back.   "We have them trapped this time.   They know if they try to do this voter ID thing, we'll call them racists, and the press will come out with article 115 - A, and 327 - DD,  and 295 - C, and that will bark them down."

      BUT HERE IS THE TRUTH OF THE ISSUE.....ONE MORE TIME.   NOT THE LAST TIME, BUT ONE MORE TIME......:     There is a big Mexican factory just south and west of where El Gringo Viejo is writing at this moment.   Right now, living over there , are about 110,000,000 Mexican-type models of the human race.   About 70,000,000 Mexicans are qualified by age and civil record to vote in any and all elections.
    Read what one Republican testified concerning the Mexican voting system...with almost 20 years of proven reliable results and increased participation that is, in sociological terms, almost impossible to comprehend.

David Arredondo is Vice-Chairman of the Lorain County Republican Party in Ohio, and is himself the son of Mexican immigrants. In May, he testified before a committee held in Cleveland that included Senator Sherrod Brown. The following is an excerpt of his testimony to the panel.

The electoral system created by IFE is open and transparent. Every eligible Mexican citizen has a tamper-proof photo-ID card with a thumbprint and an embossed hologram. All voters are required to vote in their neighborhoods and in 2005, the law was amended to allow for ”external,” or out of country absentee voting. There is no such thing as a provisional ballot. All elections are held on Sundays. Mexico is a relatively poor country yet does not lower standards to allow for the poor to register and vote as is done in America. No excuses are made while setting a high standard for all with no discernible drop in voter participation.

The registration process requires all citizens to personally enroll. Proof of birth or citizenship is step one. Applicants are photographed and fingerprinted and then required to personally return to collect their voting credential. [emphasis added]

There is a bit of....inaccuracy....in this clip in black above.   It is essentially correct,   but the people are not required to vote or even register.   BUT, even more than a passport, the Credencial Federal Electoral is the  best and most used and most trusted identification document held by a Mexican.   It has 13 different filters, blocks, particulates, and other cyber-hoops to jump through.   Fakes are readily detected by scanners both common and advanced.   Then, with the fingerprint and the picture and the signature.....A MEXICAN GOES TO VOTE, AND AT HIS/HER PRECINCT THE ELECTION"S WORKERS....REPRESENTING EVERY REGISTERED POLITICAL PARTY....HAVE A COMPLETE CATALOGUE OF THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE OF QUALIFIED, REGISTERED VOTERS INCLUDING THAT ELECTOR'S PICTURE....WHO RELATE TO THAT PRECINCT.

     All Mexican technology, all Mexican initiative, all Mexican supervised, counted, and recounted.

So, sorry to the  folks who run the Obsolete Media and the National Socialist Democratic Workers Party.    You know inside of your heart and soul that Mexicans are stupid and need you to spoon feed them and "take care" of them.
      Tea Party People and Rightwing-crazy Republicans know that Mexicans and people with Mexican and other Latin ancestry are actually pretty smart...most of the time...like anyone else.   The Mexican voting process is enviably far more advanced than our own, and more accurate.   Ergo, people of Mexican ancestry, who come from a group of people with the most difficult to qualify for, have to stand in line for...for hours sometimes....and pay to replace if lost or stolen....350 pesos....and who can have a COMPLETE CATALOGUE WITH THE PICTURE OF EACH ELECTOR IN THE PRECINCT....THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRETY OF THE NATION certainly can  obtain a picture ID in the United States of America.    And remember, in Mexico, with the very tough standards, people have increased, hugely, their participation in the electoral process, both as a gross number and as a percentage of the population.

     So, as we started, so shall we end with this set of observations.   Your notion of flooding the country with the unqualified and unwashed will not work in the long term.   Your positions on advancing your "client groups" are truly racially driven...and show your own low opinion of the "huddled masses".   You see them as digestive tracts, and reproductive systems that can be used to destroy the American Exchequer.  We, on the other hand, remember the words of Ronald Wilson Reagan... "The Mexican Americans?   I know a lot of them vote Democrat, but they are actually pretty much all Republicans, it's just that not all of them know it yet."
     For those OROGs who might doubt this, consider that even among those who were thrown into the peonage of the American welfare system....many have slithered out, and become things like successful soldiers, blue and white collar professionals, and business owners.   Of the colonial batch, they tend to vote up to 65 - 75 %  Republican.    So, spare the innuendo, and spare me.....Democrat campaign people....the "taking care" of the poor "Hispanics".

El Gringo Viejo  

An admonition

     Once this election is over, and assuming that the Republicans can actually avoid shooting themselves in various body parts, there are other issues to quickly address.   The left will immediately begin a "moderation" and "bi-partisan co-operation" offensive.  The left never quits, the left never tells the truth, and the left will use every measure to forward the effort to put everyone in a shabby Mao suit, except important people like Hillary.

      We must remember to stand vigilant concerning the probable, almost immediate, effort of the Romney White House to "reach across the aisle" by proposing a National Socialised Medicine Initiative Light....so as to "replace" the "bad" socialised medical services legislation with a "good" socialised medicine initiative.    After all, it is good for the parents to pay for their children's insurance until the child is 83 years old.   Old people, like parents, don't need money anyway, and besides there's a sale at the mall.

      Somebody has to pay for Miss Flukie's birth control pills, and it might as well be my daughter, and your daughter, because Miss Flukie wants somebody to pay for them besides herself.   And...of course....if we give the Democrat National Socialist Party just this one little pair of points, they will love us and laud and magnify our names and make sure that we are on the Kwanzaa Card mailing list forever.   And, of course, we can have a group hug and figure out how much more of  the Obama Nationalised Health Initiative we can give them next week.   It will only cost a trillion here and a trillion there, and then they will let us come to the parties at all the right places in Georgetown and Manhattan and the Hamptons and at Martha's Vineyard.   Nancy Pelosi might even give us the address of that wind tunnel where she does her facial exercises.

     It is necessary to keep all the powder, wadding, flint, and ball dry because the galleries of the House and the Senate Chambers will be crawling with Occupy people, Grey Panthers, Cafeteria School Lunch and Starving Children's Dremes-R-Us Peoples' Coalition, and so forth.  The demonstrations will be shrill and the socialist Obsolete Press will be airing article after article about how Republicans are starving granny and her 436 grandchildren.   "You just can't feed them all with one can of dog-food like we used to."

     NARAL will renew calls for requiring all doctors and hospitals to provide mandatory post-partem abortions for children up to the age of 3, so as to take pressure off of the existing feeding stations.   Some of the cafeteria workers, it will be shown, have to serve 40 children a day their allotment of Soylent Green....and the staff of 666 cafeteria workers is exhausted at the end of their  3 hour day.   The 20.6 Richter earthquake is going to be massive.

     And!  The first thing the country club, moderate, reasonable Republicans will want to do is be moderate and reasonable.    And the day will be lost at that point unless we stand tough.    They will threaten us with the idea that they can make a ruling coalition with "moderate" Democrats and push through President Romney's agenda for "reasonable, kinder, gentler,  and nicer change" and we shall have to stand our ground.

     Our worst enemy will not be the Lamumba-Jefferson-Guevara-W.E.B.DuBois Peoples' Alliance for Peace Through Justice.    It will be HEB Grocery Store and the banks and the Society for Protection of Nice Kitties that Purr When We Scratch Their Chinny-Winnies.   Then, of course, we'll have to save Head Start...because so many children rely on it and die without it.    Just a little for college tuition because, otherwise, the universities won't have an excuse to raise their tuition....and a little extra here for Medicaid.....and crop supports....and there's a really good idea some boys have to make  wind-powered solar panels....it's a sure fire deal....

      Okay, you give me 30 billion for my magic underwear solar powered wiring warmer factory in Hawai'i, and I'll vote for your Eskimo Seal Hunters' Poetry Museum and Room of Contemplation....it's only another 30 billion dollars....Eskimoes need poetry too.

       After all, they sent us up here to do things for people.

AND THEREIN LIES THE PROBLEM.     We need to begin talking and resolving now to start thinking what are battles should be and taking the offensive.     It would be good to start with the Departments of Energy and  Education.   WHY DO WE HAVE A NATIONAL EDUCATION DEPARTMENT?  It is the source of inertia, confusion, pointlessness, and for ETERNAL TEACHING TO THE TESTS, instead of teaching the souls and brains of the "students".    National education policies are a ruination of the concept of pedagogy on many levels.     Presently, no nation spends more on its public education in gross or per "student".    And, because of the other cultural rot....unfathered children....teachers' and education unions.....degenerated disciplinary patterns....and a thousand other reasons, all sponsored by the central government....we have to teach remedial courses to people who have a high school diploma because they cannot reason, read, cipher, or keep from picking their noses when they're talking to the Pope.    The Department of Energy should be reduced by 99.9% and transferred to the War Department, and housed in a three room suite at the Pentagon.   There they could keep a status report current on where the oil, gas, gasoline, other distillates and derivatives are, and what is going on at the refineries in terms of productions. 

     We really need to close ranks on this or we are doomed to follow the script of Gibbons.
