Remember the Camel Guy at Giza

You all will remember the camel guy outside of Cairo, the one who had his little tourist business, and the brick factory on the edge of Cairo with his brother.   His biggest concern seemed to be always being under observation by a Hezbollah or Muslim Brotherhood thug, and always being subject to having to pay arbitrary anti-Jew taxes and "operation expenses" for the two esteemed organisations who control small business among the Muslim nobodies.   After all, Hezbollah and the Muslim Brotherhood are Muslim somebodies, and they have the money and the guns to prove it. 

      Obama and Hillary tell us that Arab Spring rid us of the curse of Mubarek, and the Muslim Brotherhood....a moderate, secular group....would establish democracy, and show people Shirley Temple films....and give them ice cream.    Watch the pigs fly.   Look!  It's snowing in Hell.

Shas Reza Pahlavi and the Queen in 1973,
He was a terrible person because his SAVAK
secret police had 2,000 political prisoners
at that time.   Now there are only 200,000
political prisoners and they hang homosexuals
 and adultresses.     Progress has it's price.

 

       We get rid of Pahlavi because he's just bad, bad, bad!   Now Iran is free.   The Persians can go about the business of being free and democratic.   Samoza is a bad, bad person, so Jimmy Carter gets rid of him, too.   The Sandinista Blues Brothers (the Ortegas) come in and establish democracy.   To celebrate that they find the old Jew in Managua who had a little business and headed up the small Jewish community there, and they stripped him naked, tied a yoke to his wrists, put the yoke behind his head and made him walk around in the centre of Managua for the day...in the Summer....until he collapsed.   Later in the week, he died;   democracy, you see.

     These people...Jimmy Carter, Barak Hussein Obama, Al Gore, Billy and Hilly Clinton, and their type of elitists, marxist hypocrites almost always change things....for the worse.   Then they wipe their dirty hands, stride out onto Park Avenue, and begin to lecture the little people again....from a distance, of course.    Eat what we tell you to eat....do what we tell you to do.   Say what we tell you to say....think what we tell you to think.   If you need the police, call the official State Security number and a team of officers will come out to tag and identify your body and transport it to Soylent Green Factory #666 for.....preparation....for free.   Just pay shipping and handling.  Body bag - Made in China.

     This little entry to-day is made in memory of, and out of respect for, the four Americans who were murdered by an Al Qaeda assault unit in Benghazi, Libya and the Yemeni Arab security specialist who was murdered last week by Al Qaeda operatives in Sanaa, Yemen after serving at the American Embassy there for the last 20 of his 53 years of life.   Not to mention the number of soldiers who have been murdered in Afghanistan by the treacherous slugs who the victims are actually trying to help to become human.   These losses are entirely the fault of  Obama's announced date-certain, cut and run....maddening!    Insane!

The Horowitz Family is celebrating having
found Curly's long-lost twin sister, Curlette, at
Foster's Nursing Home and Corkscrew Factory,
in Hope, Arkansas where Curlette has been
 under care for some time now.   Between stringing
 the beads and eating well, Curlette gets to go to town
 and act like she is a really important element in the scheme
 of human affairs.  Other mentally defective people in her
circle think she really and truly and  actually is the
 Secretary of State of the United Statesof America.
   Curlette knows better.   Curlette knows
that she is Qeeen of the Universe.
(nyuk, nyuk, nyuk)

 

     Perhaps Holder, Panetta, and Hillary can publish the names of all the Mohammeds who have helped the Gringos during these past few years, along with their addresses as they depart on 20 January 2013, so that the Al Qaeda and Taliban operatives won't have to look them up on cross reference guides before they go out and behead them and shoot their daughters in the middle of the soccer field as part of half-time entertainment.  They can blame it on Bush.

     We still wonder what Hillary dragged out of the confidential FBI files on the present Chief Justice of the Supreme Court and Gen. Petraeus that could have been used to turn those two men into useful idiots for Chairman Mao.

Pray for the Republic.   Hope for an Independent Texas.  Pray for the Peace of Jerusalem.
El Gringo Viejo 

Queen of the Universe Up-date

This woman has quite a record.   She is the most admired woman in the United States, on Planet Earth, and in the Universe. She has mastered time travel, inventive story-telling, Cowboy Poetry, Negro Poetry, cattle market futures, land speculation, inventive billing techniques for charging for her brilliant legal services, as well as having done "so much for women's issues".   She is famous for inventive Cowboy Campfire Tales, and is known in the Balkans as Corkscrew Queen.   She also received a Medal of Valour from the Nobel Peace Prize Committee for piloting a helicopter up to the Twin Towers on 11 September 2001, putting the bird on autopilot,  and then walking out on the spinning rotors like a Flamenco Dancer and extracting her daughter from the licking flames before returning to pilot the copter back down t0 safety, only seconds before the buildings collapsed.

 

This woman set the world's record
for fewest words spoken per minute,
with oak-leaf cluster for condescension.
She sang, "Hit the Road, Jack" at Vince Foster's
Funeral.  The attendees applauded nervously.

 

 She cares.

Cry for Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner, Argentina

     Perhaps El Gringo Viejo should have been born with an arm behind his back, because he tires of reaching all the way around to pat himself on the back.    Even with all the fish oil, he still winds up with creaking joints when it's all over.

     The point is that the Argentine populace has lost its patience with their "Nueva Evita", and her initiatives to essentially confiscate private pensions, dividends on stocks and bank deposits, and dollars held in private hands.    During the past week-end, hundreds of thousands of Argentines marched through the main boulevards of Buenos Aires and other principal cities of the nation protesting against President Cristina's policies and her announced plans for the near future.   Usually dependable cannon-fodder people failed to come to her defence, such as many if not most of the major labour unions, many of whom joined in the marches.

      Frequently repeated slogans and placards were "We do not want to be Venezuela" and "Cristina, Loan me part of your 70,000,000 dollars".   Her wealth level was disclosed to be at that level due to filings that are normally required in Argentina.  That is a pretty good hunk of change for girl who was a community organiser, after being a committed armed communist revolutionary during her university and post-university period.    Of course, in the way of all communist demagogues, she and the rest....Fidel, Raul, Hugo....actually have much more money slumped away in bank accounts in  Spain, France, Mexico, and other countries with capitalist stain.    So far, only Fidel has more than five billion dollars stolen and squirrelled somewhere.    Shades of Yassir Arafat.

What follows is taken from ABC - Univision from coverage of demonstrations not far from ABC's New York offices. 

 

      Tomas Perez Alati stood proudly with the Argentine flag around his neck and two signs that read, "Cristina: were you able to change dollars for your trip? I couldn't" and "Cristina: Could you lend me some of your U$70,000,000???" His first message was a clear attack on restrictive government measures that prevent people from changing pesos to dollars. The second message refers to Fernandez de Kirchner's personal wealth, which rose to $70,000,000 since the beginning of her first term in 2007.

     Pot-Banging and Anthem-Singing Protests Follow Argentina's Fernandez de Kirchner to Columbus Circle, even as far away as New York City.

     These manifestations are relatively mild compared to what is going on in the homeland.  Marches have become longer and more frequent.   Frequent strikes, infrastructural problems, and increasing crime are beginning to become more and more the norm.....water, sewer, trains, highway repairs....and many Argentines who have the one-quarter ancestry required are trying now to leave and return to assume Italian citizenship.   Rather much like jumping from the frying pan into the frying pan.

     Cristina was re-elected last year to a second term, after having done little beyond promising to do something "for the poor and exploited".   Like Obama's whisper heard round the world: "After my election, I have more flexibility,” U.S. President Barack Obama told his Russian counterpart, Dmitry Medvedev, earlier this year, leaning over and punctuating the remark with a reassuring pat on his fellow leader’s arm.
      Cristina likewise assured her commie buddies in Argentina that she would begin the "fundamental transformation" in earnest at the onset of her second term, and she did.   She went to Caracas to kiss Chavez's big toe and generally pledged solidarity to the Southern Hemisphere Initiative ....a socialist cabal of countries formally known as "developing world" and soon to be known as the "undevelopable world".   Within this mess, Brazil teeters and totters. Ecuador, Paraguay, Bolivia, and Venezuela are already inextricably stuck.   The 45 percent are being taxed to death to pay for the 55 percent.
      In Argentina, however, Cristina has it fixed up already...very quickly....so that 100 percent of the people pay everything for nothing.   "We are going to confiscate your bank accounts, but it won't cost you anything." is the new revolutionary motto.    Once again...like Obama.   She has already played the "Malvinas Card", which is the shiboleth that Argentine leaders fall back on during times of trouble.   Stir up a good little war with the British on the Falkland Islands, and that will distract the people for a while.   Then after the war is lost, the leaders can hope for an earthquake.

     Just a bit of a progress report for the New World's favourite female despot.   Who knows, maybe in 30 years more, Hillary can finally kill all the available witnesses again and make another run for the Presidency of the United States.

Magic Stat

    El Gringo Viejo draws information directly from FWE, and includes the excellent analysis about the data falsification tactics being used by the regime in charge of the central government at this time.   The question is, "Why are Obama donors at the BLS allowed to handle and interpret the data?"

     We use FWE as a reliable information source and also as a wheretogo for explanations about phantasm facts published by the central government.

 

Data Massaging Continues: Initial Claims Tumble To 339K Lowest Since 2008, Far Below Lowest Expectation

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 10/11/2012 08:42 -0400

• BLS
• Bureau of Labor Statistics
• New Normal
• Steve Liesman
• Trade Deficit
• Unemployment

This is just getting stupid. After expectations of a rebound in initial claims from 367K last week (naturally revised higher to 369K), to 370K (with the lowest of all sellside expectations at 355K), the past week mysteriously, yet so very unsurprisingly in the aftermath of the fudged BLS unemployment number, saw claims tumble to a number that is so ridiculous not even CNBC's Steve Liesman bothered defending it, or 339K. Ironically, not even the Labor Department is defending it: it said that "one large state didn't report some quarterly figures." Great, but what was reported was a headline grabbing number that is just stunning for reelection purposes. This was the lowest number since 2008. The only point to have this print? For 2-3 bulletin talking points at the Vice Presidential debate tonight. Everything else is now noise. It is also sad that the US "economy" has devolved to such trivial data fudging on a week by week basis, which makes even the Chinese Department of Truth appear amateurish by comparison. Needless to say, Not Seasonally Adjusted initial claims jumped by 26K to 327K in the past week but who's counting. Finally, what is the reason for ongoing QEternity if the employment situation is now back to normal. Finally, in completely ignored news, because who needs global trade when you have toner cartridge, and generally ink, the US trade deficit in August rose by 4.1% to $44.2 billion, on expectations of a deterioration to $44.0 billion. Then again nobody talks about the US trade deficit during presidential debates so all good here.

Jobless Claims beat by the most since May 2009 and is the lowest since Jan 2008 - the new normal...

This is for OROGs who were scratching their collective heads.   It helped me.

So What Do We Do With a Dead Cartel Boss's Carcass?

Every time there is a significant advance by Mexican military units...any great success...a few moments go by and then the press begins to remind the public that the success is not all that important.    It is quickly intoned that for every head that falls, two more grow in its place.    Reporters line up to scoff at the "parade arrests" which finds a bunch of thuggish looking thugs being presented to the press with one or two soldiers, heavily armed, standing behind each hapless thug.   Analysts are quick to point out that these line-ups are almost always staged, and usually the arrestees don't even make it to arraignment before they are released for lack of evidence.

     The scoffers continue, with almost pre-fab paragraphs that are always.....and I mean always....employed by the reporter or commentator.   The prisoners who make it into prison are always "sprung" by Cartel invaders and they all disappear into the fog of war.   All of the judicial and constabulary personnel are corrupt and the whole matter is hopeless.   While there is a grain of truth in these reports, those grains are used to perpetrate a false sense of futility.   And, one thousand grains of sand do not make a beach.

      These last two events are a good example.   The Lascano take-down was so important that when El Gringo Viejo was driving up to Texas on the day of the events people were celebrating at the news.   Because of my little fever, I stopped a couple of times at little pleasant restaurants, and in each case, the clients and staff were standing in front of the television cheering the news about the fall of Lascano.   It would be best not to translate the names and epithets employed to describe the Lascano bum and the depraved "El Ardilla" on this blog.

 

      The next point is simpler.  The leftist press celebrated with hilarity the news about how Lascano's body had been taken off, stolen by the heroic cartel thugs, who like the American Marines, never leave a fallen comrade on the battlefield.    Absolute camel puke.

 

      Once Lascano's body had been forensically identified, it is no longer of any use in Mexican court or legal proceedings.   Perhaps the reporters would prefer that the Mexican Army or Naval Infantry take these bums and head them at a taxidermy and hang the trophies on some museum wall somewhere.    The best news we can develop is that a group of people came and took the remains in a bronze casket to the church in Lasano's nearby hometown.    The Catholic church in that  community was rebuilt at considerable expense by Lazcano (something that is rare in Mexico, but not rare enough) and the viewing and rosary was conducted there, interment followed the next day.    To set aside the predictable argument that Lascano's body was not Lascano's body, all should be aware that he was forensically identified and also confirmed by various acquaintances.
     The Naval Infantry spokeman relevant to this particular case did make a perfunctory statement to the effect that "efforts to relocate the body are underway".     My opinion is that there will be pictures of a very eleborate interment either in Progresso or Sabinas, Coahuila, not far from the Texas border coming out in Gazetta Policiaca very soon.

     This is a necessarily depressing, and well done, piece of work.   The artist put in a lot of time, but the entire tape takes less than three minutes.  Pray for the health of the Republic.  This was sent in by El Zorro during my absence at our place up against the mountains.
