Graphological Analysis

El Gringo Viejo has a bit of experience, via his oldest brother the Professor, in the art and science of graphology.  Some say that it is a bogus science, more akin to parlour games.  Others liken the pursuit to something akin to palm reading and gypsy women looking at a client's future in a crystal ball.

     Whatever the truth, the oldest brother....the professor....finally determined that it was a very interesting exercise and that he had found it to be quite accurate.   He was deceptive enough that he would say things that were complementary to the subject even when he found indications of character flaws and/or desires to cover up what the subject thought or believed to be horrid sins of his/her past.

 

     In the case of Mr. Lew, what leaps out at a person, if he uses the books from which the  professor instructed his younger brother, is the signature of a person who is consummately lazy and totally disposed to deception and mendaciousness.   If graphology has any accuracy, it is indicating that Lew fits right in.   He is a perfect fit for the chair of another lazy mendacious cheat, good ole' TurboTax Timmy Gietner.

 

                                                                              

Lew's Signature Scribble, showing sloth and mendacity.  Oddly, the thrust of the final line indicates a willingness to see something through, once started.   All loops but one fall below the mid-line of the signature, which would seem to indicate that the signer has no restraints about working "off the record" or in a deceptive or devious manner.    The one large loop towards the end is suggestive that he has a guiding presence, perhaps a mother or sister, or someone who is gone and missed.   All of that might or might not be parlour-game jibberish.  But, there is one thing for sure.  Anyone who enters such a rubric as a signature is WEIRD.

Liberal/Progressive Solutions: Pathway to perdition

     Eric Holder is a marxist weasel.   Just like Barak Hussein Obama.  Barak "reaches out" to what are popularly called "hispanics"....a new group of recently found people who are all exactly alike and required to vote in favour of "hispanic issues" because, according to Barak Obama, they are stupid proles who are in debt to Democrats for having "given"  "them" everything.

     So strange.   What is an "hispanic issue"?    Whis is an "African-American issue?".  Is there such a thing as "stay tuned to the African-American weather report"?   To the Democrat National Socialist Workers' Party these people are all the same.  The Party demands and requires that they all be the same.   Activists in the Democrat National Socialist Workers' Party state that a Latin or Black African ancestried person who develops into a conservative or even (perish the thought) a Republican....then he is either no longer a member of said ethnic or racial group, but he is also an Uncle Tom, a House n****r, or Tio Taco, etc. etc. Their words, not mine.
     But, here's the deal.  Obama cares for the oppressed, dark, funny looking people.   Especially the "hispanics".   He doesn't know what the word hispanic means, nor does the Obsolete Press, nor do most of the Democrat type "hispanic" voters....but Obama and the Obsolete Press are absolutely certain that the "hispanics" belong in the Democrat Socialist Workers' Party, because "we give them things that are important to hispanics".   A path to the dream act.  A path into the House of Mirrors at the Carnival.  A zircon ring.  A zircon ring that turns out to be glass.
     AND, then we overlook that Eric Holder and his immediate subordinate thugs had no problem illegally trading very potent firearms directly into the hands of horridly satanic people and that such trading resulted in the deaths of.....to this date....almost 440 people who happened to be Mexicans.....like...you know...."hispanics". 
       These are only the innocent and nobly involved who we are counting.   We are  not counting the cockroaches who have wound up killing each other in turf battles and score-settling.   These 440 are people caught in cross-fires...men, women, and children.   Soldiers and Naval Infantrymen locked in mortal combat.   Honest to fairly honest cops.

      The improvements in the situation in Mexico is not the issue in this blog-entry.  The issue is that Eric Holder, with certain knowledge of the present holder of the office of President of the United States and Valerie Jerrod, intentionally fed weapons that could be readily upgraded to automatics directly into the hands of  cartel operatives.   Their hope was to have Americans and/or American police officers, border patrol, and other state and/or national police officials shot and killed by people using guns that had been "purchased at loosely regulated gun stores in border states (their words)".   Armed with such righteous indignation, the corrupt Obama - Holder team could then say..."THE TIME HAS COME!!! "   And we would have been way down the road to private firearm seizures nationwide, starting with dealers and the ever so compliant sycophant Obama-big-toe-kissing retailers such as WalMart.

      There has never been any recognition of the innocent or the noble who have been shot down by this worthless programme.  Bush's administration had a similar programme that was co-ordinated with the Mexican Army.  The programme broke down when the Army detected that the cartel people had figured out that the firearms were "chipped", and the cartel thugs were removing the tracking chips.   That was the "Wide Receiver" program that Obama lied and said they had inherited from Bush's failed policy.   The Bush-era "Wide Receiver" was suspended two and a half years before the Obama regime was installed.   It ended immediately upon receiving knowledge that the chips had been detected.   Obama and Holder lied, as do all marxists.
    When a conservative is mistaken the left calls that a "lie".  When a marxist lies, the left calls that "the truth".     And there we had it.    No Obsolete Press outrage.  No questioning.  Nothing to see here, move on along.   Four or five hundred dead Meskins?   Well, there's more where they came from....and that is truly how Obama and his staff people see "them".   Especially during the time where there was a rightwing President in Mexico who was continuing the disassembly of socialism in Mexico and who, in spite of what Reuters and AP say, conducted a very successful war against the utter vermin of the Planet.

     So there we have it.   A real toopher.   We have an offensive against private firearm ownership, and nobody who amounts to anything gets hurt.  To bad it didn't work out as planned, but we can wait for another mass shooting...just so long as it's not done by a Muslim Islmamist jihadist, United States Army Officer shouting "Allah Akbar!"....as he shoots down, oddly, soldiers who have no guns.   We have homosexual and female soldiers heading for the front.  And we also are really good, kinder, and gentler and all because we have soldiers who have no guns.   And besides, "workplace violence" is a lot different from all those killings that might be going to be done by white people who have guns stored up in their houses....there with their Bibles.

     We have a real problem here, Houston....and Chicago....and New Orleans....and Atlanta....and Baltimore....and Los Angeles....and Memphis....and Miami-Dade....in one year (2012) there are 3,000 dead in the named cities alone (think how many there are nation wide)....killed by gangs, criminals, thugs, and deranged people who should be in asylums, and drunks...not one gun discharged by itself.  Each firearm was discharged by a person born into complete public assistance and raised without catechism.   People without souls, birthed to us by the Democrat National Socialist cradle to the grave welfare plan for the use as cannon fodder and low-information voting.

The times call for a brief, new Conservative Credo

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

CONSERVATIVE CREED

 for Times of Peril

 

 

    This is written in the year of our Lord, 2013 in response to the ever deteriorating social, political, and economic situation presently besetting the United States of America.  It is one person's call into the darkness.  It is not meant to be a marching order, or a call to arms, or anything beyond a declaration of a very few basic points that the responsible can use as an encouragement to their motivation in Defense of Liberty.   It is useless, during these days, to try to convince those parasitic elements of our culture that they should turn from their ways and enjoy the risks of failure and the exhilaration of the simple successes that come from moving and acting without undue constraint imposed by an increasingly rapacious, arbitrary, and totalitarian central government.   We must simply re-double our own efforts and by so doing, perhaps inspire others who have given up hope of National Redemption, so that they might join the Good Fight and re-establish what was once the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave.

 

 

THIS WE BELIEVE:

 

      I.          This credo is meant for all free-standing men and women.  There is no differentiation based on anything that has to do with age or race or ethnicity.   All are called, if willing, if they are old enough to think critically.  There is no age requirement, and there are no dues.   Those who wish can join this agreement freely and without cost.

  

    II.           There is no religious denomination, nor is there any religion, endorsed one over the other in this Creed.  The words that follow, however, are guided by the Samaritan Rule, the Golden Rule, and the Beatitudes as delivered on a hillside during an earlier, equally troubled time.   Any believer in any notion of divinity, cosmic guiding intelligence, or angelic combat with satanic forces will feel comfortable using these precepts, and the agnostic is welcomed among us.

 

    III.         We believe in the higher condition that is represented by self-sufficiency, that is not supported by the intervention of public assistance of any kind.   We believe that all charity should and must be privately administered, so as to avoid the establishment of immense, self-perpetuating bureaucracies that are dependent upon the dependent for their survival.    Therefore, we shall endorse, support, and volunteer with the Salvation Army and like groups and work towards the gradual and steady elimination of public assistance until it no longer contaminates the culture.

 

   IV.          We believe that if investment is needed in the development or maintenance of industry that it should be done by the private sector.  We eschew the notion that the central government can or should attempt to stimulate what they feel to be the proper path of  industrial and/or commercial activity.   It is more sensible to leave businesses and corporations untaxed and thereby more capable to invest in innovation and/or refinement of existing procedures so as to produce more wealth, wages, progress, stability, and lucrative worthwhile employment.   We withhold our support from corporations that volunteer to join the dole meted out by the central government.

 

     V.         We believe, in keeping with the quest for self-reliance, that all who choose to defend themselves against violent criminal intent instead of relying on public agencies to protect them have the right and even obligation to be their own first line of defense.   Therefore the possession and use of a firearm(s) for self-defense, for general protection of self and/or other possible victims of wantonness and depravity, for hunting, for hanging on the wall for decoration, or any morally correct or inoffensive purpose is a Sacred Right, not to be abridged by any government, especially the central government.

 

     VI.        We hold that it is self-evident that socialist, racist elements conspired during the first half of the 20th Century (and before), to carve out the American Negro Race and to do all possible to direct them into a New Slavery of government dependence.  We can point to the peculiar union and association with agents of the Communist Party USA, Margaret Sanger's progressives, the Women's Christian Temperance Union, and the Ku Klux Klan during the period of 1915 through the early 1930s ( http://www2.potsdam.edu/hansondj/Controversies/KKK-and-WCTU-Partners-in-Prohibition.html ).  

   We further  hold that anyone with a basic understanding of sociology knows that multigenerational birthing of babies who have no known father, present on a continuing basis, will produce soulless monsters.  It is also true that the taking of a religious people, whose anthems are an integral part of the American Fabric, and prohibiting those anthems and any other Christian or Judaic hymns, psalms, and anthems from the public or scholastic theatre of human endeavour, has produced cultural disaster.   The removal of all spiritual guidance from the public school system is to be fought and rolled back until once again young people will know that there is something larger to worship and contemplate than tennis shoes and gadgetry.
      We shall continue to endorse the ongoing movement to eliminate public schools, through the establishment of private and/or traditionalist faith-based schools.  Therefore we pledge to take active measures during the remaining days of our lives, to limit without abortion, the number of unfathered babies, and to direct, to the extent possible, all men and women to the stability imposed by self-sufficiency, marriage,  and the presence of a positive masculine player within the family stead.

 

     VII.          We observe the obvious when we see that no nation can long endure while its central government is spending three dollars for every two taken in through taxation by armed force.    We therefore believe that further central government spending should be curtailed  to such a point that no more than eighty percent (80%) be applied to present operational outlays of that central government, and the the remaining twenty percent (20%) be used to liquidate the debts owed to holders of  instruments of the national debt of the United Sates of America.    We should commit to establishing, as priority spending, the  renamed War Department and its military outlays  and those various programs to support veterans of military service.   All other expenditures should be reduced by twelve percent (12%).  There must be no deficit spending.

    VIII.          We are commited to the proposition that we should not raise our collective hand against  individuals involved with homosexuality.   We do, however,  also commit to the defense and furthering of the family unit as the foundation for American social structure.  We stand opposed to the notion that people who are involved in homosexual behaviour somehow have a special or different path in terms of civil rights.   There is no manner by which homosexuals can marry, in the truest sense of the word, although there are lawyers who can draw up contractual agreements concerning special relationships between adult, contractually empowered, citizens.

      We hold it as self evident that the depraved torture of a cat is the same as the depraved torture of a dog.   It is obvious under English Common Law that the unjustifiable killing or abuse of a normal person is a crime as might be prescribed by such law.   The unjustifiable killing or abuse of a homosexual is the same crime, there is no difference, and therefore there is no justification for establishing such a crime as a "hate crime" or any special category of crime.   Therefore we shall work to disestablish laws that have been passed to placate interest groups and that tend to elevate their grievances to a level that exceeds the intent of The Common Law.

      IX.         We vigourously reject the notion that we must participate in broad nationwide plans for correct organisation and development.  Project 21, the Kyoto Treaty, the United Nations Agreement on Firearms, and similar initiatives are all violations of the national integrity and sovereignty of the United States of America.  Americans must be aware that Treaties, properly executed and approved by a two-thirds (2/3rds) vote in the Senate of the Congrefs of the United States of America take precendence over and supercede any Constitutional argument or position which contradicts the purpose or intent of said treaty.  There fore it is critically important to oppose and defeat such initiatives and treaties.
       In keeping with this commitment to defend the unique individual nature of America among the other nations of this particular planetary Creation by Providence, we shall also resist until final victory any notion that would permit foreign judicial precedent or finding to be indirectly or directly cited as a justification for a decision made by any court that is organised under the authourity of the central government of the United States of America.  We further urge that the several Sovereign States also deign and require the same conditions apply to the decisions of their local and State courts, civil and criminal.

     X.          We finally commit to the disassembly of the bureaucratic organisation of the central government's bureaucracy.   We will study and find an end to such intrusion that might include, but certainly not be limited to the following entities that we sincerely believe are anti-Constitutional and therefore in continual violation of our Rights, our execution of our Sacred Responsibilities, and our Fundamental Liberties.

                       Social Security (to be privatised), Supplemental Security Income, Social Security Disability, Medicare (to be privatised), Federal Emergency Management Agency, Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives division of the Department of Justice, the Department of Energy, the Department of Commerce, much of the Department of State,  the Deparment of Health and Human Services, the Department of Education, the Department of Labour, Department of Veterans' Affairs, the United States Army Corps of Engineers, much of the Department of the Interior, much of the Department of Agriculture, along with numerous commission, agencies, and offices without Constitutional Portfolio.    (All Veterans to be assigned to continuing interest sections of their respective Battle Group...United States Army, United States Air Force, United States Navy and Marines, United States Coast Guard. People take care of their own better.)

     This is a very basic, pacific, Manifesto of Normalcy.   It is a path to fiscal sanity.  It shows a new road to fraternity and unity among Americans, and it eliminates the satanic seduction of socialism and collectivism.   For the next week, El Gringo Viejo will go over this "credo" for various fluffings and abbreviation where possible.  Anyone is free to print it, as all OROGs are part owners in fact of this particular Voice in the Wilderness that actually is heard by a surprising number of folks.   I retire for a moment from the field of battle to strip away my bloodied armour and to rest my mount.

Contemplations on the Arrogance of Gun Control Elitists

ON GUN CONTROL AND THE  CONSTITUTION:          There is not much that can be said about the anti-gun movement that has not already been said. As a citizen who is as terrified as any who do not understand how we have lost so much to this tyranny all I can do is write… it is somewhat therapeutic. Hopefully others will speak to any and all whose attention they attract to emphasize, add to, or correct these rather simplistic thoughts.      There is probably not anything that has been said that can obviate the ignorance of this congregation of America hating, Constitution loathing, socialist, frightened, mentally defective individuals who do not have the ability to comprehend the harm they are doing to all Americans, and even to themselves.      The anti-gun crowd is doing more damage to the country than all the perverted mass murderers perpetrated on the population as far back in our history as has been recorded. The C minus government that is leading the D minus apparent majority of the population is "feeding the monkey" (as in "watch the monkey mess in his cage").      The Second Amendment was written for all time. The right to keep and bear arms is for “individual” protection and for individuals to participate in a “well regulated militia” if and when needed. The militia is not specified as a government entity. It is rather a militia of like minded individuals who would protect themselves from tyranny by the government as well as any other threat by means of arms if necessary. Written any other way, the Second would be meaningless to the individual defense.       The Declaration of Independence inspired the Articles of Confederation in respect to the right to bear arms as is evident in the first paragraph: The Lexington Minuteman It is well to remember that in the colonies, and then in the several States, the "militia" was composed, normally, of all men between and including the ages of 16 to 60, who were not indentured, and who were free of court bond or criminal judgement or conviction. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~    “When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.” ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~        As a last resort, of course, the stick is necessary as it was especially in the American War for Independence as well as many subsequent foriegn wars.        Then, in the first sentence of the Preamble to the Constitution, the phrase “We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union…” means not only to perfect the imperfections and tyranny of British rule but more to perfect the ambiguities, defects, and disconnects in the Articles of Confederation. The Bill of Rights clearly and simply establishes law under God in the order by which it should be honored.        The Constitution of the United States First guarantees specific freedoms of individuals from government control. The First Amendment guarantees the freedom of speech, press, association, religion, and petition of the government for a redress of grievances etc .      The Second Amendment secondly guarantees individual rights to defend against violations of the First Amendment by government as in “petition the government for a redress of grievances” by arms as a last resort if it should, God forbid, escalate to that. We find ourselves today in a position where we have a government trying to circumvent the First Amendment by removing our last resort. They would disarm us by distorting the meaning and intent of the Second Amendment.        If and when that should happen, any people who would attempt to preserve their rights to bear arms (and all individuals of the United States for that matter) will be subjected to “unreasonable” search and seizure in violation of the Fourth Amendment.       We have already seen abuse of the commerce clause of the Seventeenth Amendment, and the taxing authority of the Sixteenth Amendment to falsely justify the ObamaCare Catastrophe. Both abuses would be constitutionally illegal if not abrogated by a renegade progressive Supreme Court.        By Executive orders, incompetent Federal judges, and our socialist congressional representatives we are losing our freedom and rights. Our Constitution is being deconstructed one amendment at a time.      The last bulwark may be the Tenth Amendment or maybe not. If the States cannot or will not take initiatives to turn this ship around the only course of action may be secessions by the several states.        Getting down to the most recent issue, gun control, we have a very serious situation that needs immediate and forceful action by pro gun supporters. Call, write, talk, yell, scream, or any other peaceful method available to reach those politicians who have it in their power to stop the Feinstein freight train and other anti-gun initiatives that degrade the Second Amendment.   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~        This writer has many guns. Some are old surplus collectables, some are for target shooting, some are for hunting, and some are for simply admiring. They are all potentially for personal protection. Among the guns are pistols… revolvers and semiautomatic ones.       Some are automatic shotguns, so-called. The shotguns are actually semiautomatic ones, holding 5 shells at a time. Some are bolt action rifles that will load only one round at a time.  Once again, one pull of the trigger, one shot.     Some are of the “military looking” type that accept magazines up to 30 rounds. They can hold larger magazines but that is unusual for most gun owners. These last rifles are not different from pistols which have a magazine with several rounds in that it takes, you guessed it,  one pull of the trigger for one shot to fire.      These semiautomatic guns were not invented or sold to the public to harm anyone but to make it easier and more convenient to shoot more rounds without having to go through the motion of changing out a magazine. Technology made it possible and technology cannot be denied.     The writer has one rifle (a Ruger Mini-14 .223 cal) that, at the time of the last weapons ban, would accommodate a 30 round magazine which could be displayed in the rear window of a pickup truck in its ranch style stock configuration; however, when equipped with its optional folding type stock it was prohibited. There was absolutely no difference in the function of the rifle, it just looked different.       These people trying to take guns away from the citizenry are so uninformed as to think an AR-15 is more dangerous than any other type rifle because “It’s scary looking”, it looks kinda like what they see in the war movies. The AR-15, AK-47, HK, FN, and all the other “military looking” rifles are great for personal defense but not as suited for military purposes because they are not capable of selective fire. They are not “machine guns” or “heavy weapons” (whatever heavy weapons are, a term made up by a much uninformed Bill O’Reilly).        The guns that are legal today have all the restrictions necessary and more than necessary for the law abiding population. More laws are absurd and will not stop killing as we have seen.  A scenario that comes to mind is that Adam Lanza could simply have made three or four pipe bombs, walked down the hall of the school and tossed them into three or four classrooms and be gone before anyone could have seen him. Those could have been hidden in a jacket, much less visible than the guns he used. They possibly could have quadrupled the deaths and casualties as were rendered with his guns. Not having guns would not have prevented this sicko from killing children!       If certain people are, or if a person is,  so deranged, or predisposed, to murder there are many more ways to kill and harm than with guns. The environments these killers are exposed to (pre-adolescent behaviour-modification drugs for hyperactivity, for instance) are the weapons, not the guns. The sick minded will always be with us. The answer to the problem is not so easy, however awareness and education are a better defense than more stupid laws.   There are presently over 19,000 specific laws controlling privately held firearms and ammunition on the books.  The killers are insane but so are the laws, and groups pushing them, that attempt to attach blame for the killings to these inanimate tools.         The Constitution is a document inspired by God. Not unlike Jesus Christ, it is being crucified.        The people of the United States must do everything in their power, individually and collectively, to protect this fundamental legal document from which all our rights and liberty are documented. It does not now or ever need to be “fundamentally changed”.      The tools that would protect this document are provided for within it; however, it is up to the beneficiaries of the Constitution to know what is in it and what it means. It was intentionally made simple for all to understand. The laws that are added to it only confuse, contradict, and compound the issues and multiply the problems.     We don't have to pass the this 6 page document (not 2,200 plus) to know what is in it. It has already been passed!

    This is truly amazing.  Ed Shultz says that Billy Jeff Blythe was never tried in the United States Senate on charges brought by the House of Representatives.     Sorry, Ed, but he was.  And there were four charges, two of which managed to gain a majority of senators to vote for conviction.  Remember we had Arlan Specter telling us that he was going to vote "not proven" like what is allowed in Scotland?    Ed also informed his listening and viewing audience that Chicago does not have "gun laws".

Christina is just as good.  She wraps herself in Hillary's black trousers and jumps off the cliff, with this Ode to the First and Only True Wonder of the World.

"The idea of losing Hillary has seemed especially unbearable at this political moment. It's as if she has become, literally, the ship of state," she wrote. "What a disgrace that John Bolton and his goaty Republican ilk accused Her Magnificence of inventing a concussion to get out of testifying at the Benghazi hearings. Bolton is not fit to wipe her floor with his mustachio."

"Her Magnificence"?  Sorry, Christina.  John Bolton did not accuse "Her Magnificence" of inventing a concussion to get out of testifying at the Benghazi hearings.   He did point out that such inventions are commonly used in order to avoid difficult "diplomatic" situations.   It might be pointed out that (Sir Edmund)Her Magnificence Hillary, Perpetual Queen of the Universe has faked conditions, illness, and all manner of things....including perhaps "pitcher's elbow" (it's hard to grasp ashtrays and lamps and throw without doing some kind of damage to the shoulder and/or elbow).    After Billy Jeff came clean about the Monica thing...(he was painted into a corner of his own construction),  Her Magnificence went on a tax-payer paid (3,500,000 dollars) camel-ride in the Sahara in order to recover from a "back ache" and to repair her lonesome heart, along with her daughter (the one who jogs at The Battery, below the Twin Towers, on days that George Bush schedules dual passenger jet air strikes on those towers).

     A camel ride?   In Morocco?   You can pick up a good camel ride or elephant ride at the San Antonio Zoo...and they have been trained in chiropractics, you know....for alignments.  Charter Lear jet....round trip....couple of nights at the St. Anthony Hotel ...  see the Alamo, get back in time to see Billy Jeff feeling up Kathleen Willy....and then she could go over her files and take out Kathleen Willy's personnel records and release them to the press...have Bernie and Maggie remind the press what happened to Vince Foster....so as to make sure no one knows who "really" released the private, inviolate information.     The whole thing could have cost the taxpayers maybe...30,000 dollars...and Her Magnificence (Sir Edmund)Hillary would have been able to be back in charge of the White House, throwing ashtrays at Billy Jeff, and shrieking at lower level lackeys that she'll fire any and everyone who peeks around the door to look at her from behind when she passes by in the hall.   She's really an elegant, humble, kind person.  It's such a burden to be magnificent.   It's such a burden to have people write brain-dead pontifications like "It Takes a Village" for you to put you name on...you know....just like you really wrote it....all by yourself.....and everything.

    Truly magnificent.   And, just think of all the things she has done for women.   And children.  Just think of them all.    It makes a person wonder about how cruel the world is, when Hillary goes out on a stage...to "heal" from the Twin Towers disaster....and she's in New York, and the entire audience save for a very few Park Avenue billionaire women...boo her off the stage, while George Bush...who everybody knows is stupid and evil...receives a standing ovation when he throws out the first ball at the World Series.  Thank Beelzebub for low intelligence voters and low information voters,

Her magnificence...spare me.

A telling tale about Cuba.....

Cuban doctor says: Medical professionals to have same travel rights as 'any other citizen'

Published January 07, 2013

Associated Press

HAVANA – A Cuban doctor says the Caribbean nation is eliminating longstanding restrictions on health care professionals' overseas travel as part of a broader migration reform.   The doctor says hospital directors met Saturday with Health Minister Roberto Morales and were told of the new policy, effective Jan. 14.   For many years Cuban physicians have been limited in their ability to travel or had to undergo cumbersome bureaucratic procedures.  But now they are supposed to be treated "like any other citizen" when it comes to travelling abroad.
    The doctor was not authorised to talk to foreign journalists and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Monday.

 

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

Two Reasons for this strangle hold on doctors and surgery nurses in Cuba for the past 200,000 years...or however long it has been.

   (1)  The medical people would almost always defect.  When the Castros sent a large contingent of Cuban medical staffers to Venezuela to help in some natural disaster or another during Chavez's first term, they arrived with 60 doctors and nurses, and 200 "minders" and "assistants" all of whom were secret police thugs.  The secret police thugs held all the passports for the medical people, but more importantly they had the pre-verified, by personal visit, addresses for each medical person's relatives to the 2nd level of relation.

    (2)   At times it would become apparent that a Cuban doctor was not the brave new worldsman and super human.   Cuban doctors were on a level of a Mexican registered nurse, and Cuban RNs were on a level of a Mexican LVN.   There were exceptions, and probably still are.   But while Mexico teems with double AA minor league and up to major league level surgeons and doctors and specialised nurses, frequently at American level, and frequently with American and European training and seminars....when Hugo Chavez went to Cuba for his cancer treatments and surgery, Cuba brought in Spanish doctors.   Cuban doctors had to be "minded" so as not to say..."I never studied that part..." or  "I have never seen this  procedure done this way", or "We do not have these (machines)(devices)(medicines) in La Habana".
 
    For many years, Fidel went to some hospital in New York City for treatment of his Parkinson's disorder.  Once again, because the myth of "free, world-class medical services brought to the People by the Revolucion" is one of those few myths in the history of mankind that has absolutely no basis in truth.

     And, truth be known, Hugo Chavez is in Cuba because he feared going under the knife in Caracas,  assuming that he would be "gassed" or "offed" somehow either by the doctors or by his loyal friends and supporters.  He has been paranoid....or even quadranoid...for several years, which is fairly typical of tyrants.  They are already casting lots for his raiment even as his body cools down to room temperature.   What is left of his soul will have to adjust to different climatic realities soon enough.

The Republic of Cuba when it was a corrupt, terrible, abusive place with 3,000 political prisoners, was a leading economic force in the Americas.  During the period from 1930 through 1960, it was the fourth leading economy in the Americas in terms of per capita income.  It was 3rd in terms of overall literacy.  It was 5th in terms of gross national product...coming in just behind the much larger countries of Brazil and Argentina.
    Now, it has 30,000 political prisoners, and the 2nd lowest per capita income and 3rd lowest GNP (counting Belize as an independent nation - population 378,000).  Thank goodness for Haiti, right Fidel/Raul?
    Hidalgo County of Texas...a hell-hole of welfare abuse...population 800,000, of whom 50% are on total welfare....has a GNP equivalent to Cuba's at this time.  Difference?  Cuba has 14 times as many people as Hidalgo County.

We pray for the early liberation of Cuba from the present government and political structure, and we pray for the early liberation of the Cuban Roman Catholic Church from the wolves in sheeps' clothing, satanic liberation theology advocates who have been "minded" and "guided" into the pulpits in that beautiful, long-suffering island. The Protestant "Churches" are not any better, actually.
