Gratitude: Attention, Louis Gohmert, Dr. Carson, Ted Cruz, Mike Lee

Ted Cruz
United States Senator
Republic of Texas



 We extend here an expression of gratitude for the efforts of these men and others not pictured who stood against the extension of debt against the interests of our children, grandchildren, and beyond.   Against all ridicule and unfair innuendo, they stood fast and demonstrated  the errors, deficiencies, and mistakes that the present administration and the Republican "stalwarts" are making while they make things convenient for themselves and disastrous for the productive sectors of American public.

    The people who detract from the fact that there is certain national devastation awaiting those who think that we can continue to spend three and take in two in terms of the national exchequer are fools piloting a ship in the iceberg field with their eyes closed at midnight.

    The time for being "reasonable" and bi-partisan has long passed.   We are now in a debt morass that will soon bring a crisis that will mirror the Weimar Republic's experience with creative financing of national budgets.   Argentina will collapse soon, along with Venezuela in terms of the value of their currencies.  Brazil will follow.   The error?   Spending more than that which is taken in. Buying fealty of the "impoverished masses" with money that is freshly printed to be thrown at those who become accustomed to being cared for, however minimally.

     The Obama siren song of Free Medical Service brought to us by the Obama Socialised Medicine Initiative will soon be recognised as an administrative debacle forced upon a gullible populace by deranged National Socialist control freaks.  Our pleasantly to cumbersome medical system will be supplanted by an "efficient system" that will be ten times more cumbersome and one hundred times more inefficient.

     We laud and congratulate these men and the other personalities who supported them.  The thinking people support them.  The people who dream of some magic system that provides "free medical" will be waking up from their trances when the Pied Piper stops playing and they feel the shackles around their souls.  For that is the issue.  To be free and a son of Divine Providence  or to be a slave and the serf beholden to one's betters, grovelling for the next crumb or favour.

      As stated by one more eloquent than this participant in life, we ask:   "Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"
      If life and liberty are granted El Gringo Viejo a little longer, it will be to aid to the degree possible in this fight, while he also persists in his support for an amicable withdrawal of thr Republic of Texas from what must be considered at this point a nation no longer capable of self-government.

     The American Union seems reconciled to the comforts of free services from the central government and to the certain knowledge that money grows inside of ugly buildings in Washington, District of Columbia.  The nation concerns itself so much with the avoidance of saying one or another word that might somehow destroy the life of the hearer, when, day by every night, the slaughter of the spawn of the dependent reveals the true human cost of self-induced bondage.   I would prefer to spend my time edifying projects of good will and prosperity, and not the bondage of political correctness and the worry about people who wish to contaminate themselves with incurable medical conditions and addictions.

 

     If we can stand alone, as we should, as the Republic that we are, we could certainly learn from the mistakes of the list of nations that have turned themselves grey and devoid of imagination, that are full of degeneracy, graffiti, and indolence, and devoid of thoughts of liberty.

 

We leave the OROG to his/her peace and now retire to the kitchen to practice my alchemy.

The Fast and Furious Story Takes on More and More Life

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

 

These are stories that are known by those in the know and they are kept until well after Obama elections so that the American public cannot express disgust save by shaking the head and saying ,"God help us all."

     The number of people who were allowed to walk and conduct illicit business, ostensibly while coordinating with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives during the administration of Obama will never be known.  Some say that the Bush people lost five or six who disappeared into the cactus shroud, only to resurface later in some other part of Mexico, Latin-America, or even in the United States.  During this horrid presidency the number is measured by the scores.  The weaponry and explosives "lost" by the Obama people are implicated in the deaths of as many as 600 innocent men, women, and children along with various honest to somewhat honest cops, Army soldiers, and Naval Infantrymen.

     Now, even Columbia Broadcasting System will talk about it, but not the White House

CJNG Used "Grenade-Walkers" Against Police- 2 Years After Being Smuggled for CDS

Thursday, October 17, 2013
| Borderland Beat Reporter Chivis

Borderland Beat
 

Backstory:

The following is from WSJ report of September 2011:

Mexican authorities on Tuesday confirmed the capture of Jean Baptiste Kingery, an American citizen accused of smuggling grenades across the border to help arm drug cartels.

U.S. officials said earlier that Mr. Kingery had been arrested in late August at his home in Mazatlan, in the Pacific-coast state of Sinaloa, but Mexican police only confirmed the arrest Tuesday.

Mr. Kingery, from Arizona, allegedly purchased components to make hand grenades and other weapons in the U.S. and smuggled them across the border for use by the Sinaloa Cartel, one of Mexico's major drug-smuggling outfits, Mexican officials said in a news release.

U.S. officials briefly had Mr. Kingery (at left) in custody in June 2010 but let him go after just a few hours, fueling an ongoing battle between prosecutors and agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. That followed a failed plan to use Mr. Kingery in a sting operation in early 2010.

The Justice Department and Congress are investigating the series of missteps in the case, which is similar to the botched "Fast and Furious" program that allowed suspected smugglers to buy thousands of U.S. firearms. The mistakes made in the Kingery case helped force the ouster last week of Kenneth Melson, the acting director of the ATF, and Dennis Burke, the U.S. attorney in Arizona, U.S. officials said.

Mexican officials said Mr. Kingery's arrest came after they broke up another grenade-smuggling ring in Baja California in April, which eventually led federal police to Mr. Kingery's hideout.

The following was reported today, this  from CBS:

CBS News has learned of a shocking link between a deadly drug cartel shootout with Mexican police last week and a controversial case in the U.S. The link is one of the grenades used in the violent fight, which killed three policemen and four cartel members and was captured on video by residents in the area.

According to a Justice Department Significant Incident Report (see as image below)  filed Tuesday and obtained by CBS News, evidence connects one of the grenades to Jean Baptiste Kingery, an alleged firearms trafficker U.S. officials allowed to operate for years without arresting despite significant evidence that he was moving massive amounts of grenade parts and ammunition to Mexico's ruthless drug cartels.

New evidence in ATF's mysterious grenade smuggler case

The gun battle took place last week in Guadalajara. Authorities say five members of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel used at least nine firearms and ten hand grenades against Mexican police. If one of the grenades was supplied with the help of Kingery, as believed, it adds to the toll of lives taken with weapons trafficked by suspects U.S. officials watched but did not stop.

The Kingery case was overseen by the same Arizona U.S. Attorney and ATF office that let suspects traffic thousands of weapons to Mexican drug cartels in the operation dubbed Fast and Furious. The strategy was to try to get to the cartel kingpins, but it was halted after CBS News reported that Fast and Furious weapons were used by cartel thugs in the murder of Border Patrol agent Brian Terry on December 15, 2010. Weapons trafficked by other ATF suspects under surveillance were used two months later in the cartel murder of Immigration and Customs Agent Jaime Zapata in Mexico on February 15, 2011.

On Wednesday, ATF told CBS News it has "no information" about the Kingery connection to last week's gun battle in Mexico.

As CBS News previously reported, documents show ATF began watching Kingery in "2004 related to AK47 purchases" he was believed to be trafficking to Mexico.

In 2009, ATF also learned Kingery was dealing in grenades; weapons of choice for Mexico's killer cartels. Documents show they developed a secret plan to let him smuggle parts to Mexico in early 2010 and follow him to his factory. Some ATF agents vehemently objected, worried that Kingery would disappear once he crossed the border into Mexico. That's exactly what happened.

Kingery resurfaced several months later in 2010, trying to smuggle a stash of grenade bodies and ammunition into Mexico, but was again let go when prosecutors allegedly said they couldn't build a good case. In 2011, Mexican authorities finally raided Kingery's factory and arrested him -- they say he confessed to teaching cartel members how to build grenades and convert semi-automatic weapons to automatic. The Justice Department has not provided an update on whether it's trying to extradite Kingery to the U.S., and an ATF spokesman said on Wednesday that he doesn't know the status of his case.

     In other films and pictures, El Gringo Viejo  noticed that the casings for many if not most of the hand grenades are Warsaw Pact era, probably originating in the Bulgarian or Polish black market, as are the guts in the brief depictions the OROG may be able to see in the various pictures.   Some of the shells are "pineapples", that are probably American or Red Chinese knock-offs. It seems  as if the "guts" are still Warsaw but modified to fit the "pineapples".

   Most of the already assembled grenades arrive in Mexico from trawlers that park about 20 miles off the Gulf Coast, and were shipped from cells within the Venezuelan Army.    The trawlers are off-loaded onto "pangas", a type of short distance fishing craft.  There are also erstwhile "militias" associated with the Venezuelan Army that are usually nothing more than "enforcers" for the government party or arms runners to the "resistencia" as manifested by the Frente Armada y Revolucionaria de Colombia, (FARC).  The weaponry and armaments are filtered through a conduit that originates in Eastern Europe or in Red China.

A Timely Re-Post - The Truth Does Not Rust

Be Afraid!

Being a confident individual does not mean that one can never be afraid. From personal experience, I can tell you being afraid is normal and mandatory in order for survival. Being afraid is motivation for action. Today we have plenty to be afraid of. It is a simple proposition that the central government is on the precipice of totally managing your life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. We sit dumb and happy because today started the same as yesterday and the day before and the day before that. But do not rest easy! The writing is on the wall. We know that the Affordable Care Act and its relationship to the Internal Revenue Service is a reality but the impact is yet to be felt; however, there are significant signs that all is not well. Even the congressional signatories of the Obamacare legislation are now saying it is a proverbial train wreck. What on earth good can come of this when the IRS is not only in charge of the amount of wealth you can accumulate but also whether you can live of die? Just think, PLEASE! The central government/IRS today takes as much of your wealth as they want with no recourse for you. You have no part in the decision making regarding how your money is spent. Much is simply redistribution of income via the entitlement programs. Fraud not withstanding, the entitlement programs (welfare, afdc, Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and the largest parasitic enterprise Obamacare, etc.) suck money out of the economy that would ordinarily be reinvested in manufacturing, technology, real health care and medicine, etc. This government is a huge parasite bleeding and feeding off the American dream. It takes from the productive among us and redistributes to the least productive of us. The temptations of the welfare society are attracting otherwise decent working citizens by offering something for nothing as well as taking away the incentive for doing hard work. The IRS is the tool of the government that progressivley extracts from earned income at the discretion of the President and Congress. It has extaordinary power to take as it will from whomever it chooses. This is such a destructive institution that America will not last much longer as the bastion of liberty inspired by God and designed by the forefathers almost two and a half centuries ago. The first and maybe the last of the best society ever designed for the human race. The IRS has to go! This is the time for action. "You never let a serious crisis go to waste. And what I mean by that it's an opportunity to do things you think you could not do before." - Rahm Emanuel The IRS must be abolished in favor of either a flat tax or the "Fair Tax" proposed by some. Either of these alternatives allow the individual to be totally in control of how much income is allocated to the public welfare. In addition, the gargantuan IRS would be disassembled at a huge savings to the Fed. Think how much simpler it will be to know what you can afford based on what tax would be attached to a purchase. If there were a 20% tax (all taxes included) and you want to buy a car with a retail price of $20,000. You know immediately that it will cost you $24,000. A loaf of bread at $1.98 would cost $2.38. If your annual income is $55,000 your taxes at the end of the year on that income would be $0.00. That is the flat tax. The fair tax is a little more complex but the idea is similar. The fair tax is a progressive tax based on income but is collected on consumption. In theory, there would be no tax on foods and necessities then all other goods and services would be based on rates determined by income levels (i.e. poverty level, 0% twice poverty level 11%, up to a maximum of 23%). With the Fair tax as in a flat tax all payroll and income taxes would be abolished. Abolishing the IRS would repress the Affordable Health Care Act until it can be repealed. Be afraid! If we do nothing now we will have nothing very soon. Support your representatives in Congress who would abolish the IRS now! Support those who are in favor of a flat tax or the Fair Tax. Support Ted Cruz and the Tea Party Congressional representatives to abolish the IRS to save America.         Signed: El Zorro

Contemplations on a Debacle

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




This is analogical picture.  The Strawberry is the body of socialists
 who are in charge of the central government at this time. 
  It is a very happy strawberry.   It scoffs at the terrapin.
  The terrapin is ugly and everybody hates him.
  The Strawberry is pretty, and everybody loves him.
   Right now, the terrapin is having a hard time trying
 to grasp a hold of the Strawberry.   In another few
minutes, the terrapin will be very happy, and the
 Strawberry will be gone.

The terrapin is the Cruzites, and the Strawberry
 is the socialist cabal and the lackeys who
 zombie-walk into the abyss of debt
 that the socialists have created.
As in the case of the hare and the turtle,
 against all odds, the terrapin will win.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We are now done with it.   Only 92 more days before the deadline is accomplished for the next debacle.   About three months between now and that time that there will be further authorisation to publish another few trillion dollars worth of Yankee greenbacks.....thereby further devaluing the worth of the greenback dollar.

 

     At the very moment that it became apparent that the Congress was going capitulate and follow Harry Reid into the Palace of Oz, the American dollar lost four - tenths of one per cent of its value against the Mexican peso.  Reason?  In spite of everything, the Mexican national budget is within some reasonable position of balance, and the overall deficit is in a better posture than our own.  The American running budget and deficit and overall debt is now edging into the zone of psychotically catastrophic.   The Mexican budget and debt situation is moving from bad to not-so-bad.

 

     The average American understanding about the debt is that the Red Chinese hold much if not all of the outstanding American Treasury paper.   In actuality, they hold a little less than 10 per cent.   The average American understanding is that most of our oil comes from Saudi Arabia and a cartel of six or seven other Arab countries in South America or Austria or somewhere.   But, most of the natural gas and oil used in the United States comes from ...... the United States.   After that, Canada and Mexico generally exchange first and second place with each other....although Venezuela can be found in first, second, or third place depending upon the month.

     The point of this diversion in the screed is simply to point out that the folks who go about their business every day are not, and cannot be expected to be, experts on macro-economic or resource provision.   The Obsolete Press does everything it can to make certain that the general public remains in that penumbra of mild ignorance so that when push comes to shove the folks will make only one decision about who is at fault for the manifestation of any particular artificially created crisis. 

     To do complex thought, for instance such as:   Why do the Republicans do things that seem to be so injurious to them?  Is it possible that they see a damage being done that is so severe that they feel that they must risk their own political popularity in order to confront that injurious thing?  Why are the hard-line conservatives voting the way they said they were going  to vote when they were elected?   Why are we spending so incredibly much more than we are taking in?   Why does the president always invoke the notion that he is going to go back to work to strengthen the middle class when every action he takes injures the middle class and the productive elements of the society?

 

     Why has the American dollar lost four per cent of its value against the Mexican peso in the last 36 hours?

 

     Why has gold increased by fifty dollars per ounce in the last 36 hours?

Why does the Fernandez de Kirchner's administration  have an Argentine Peso  that looks like it does as it relates to the American dollar during her horrid, socialist regime's administration of the nation's business.   We urge that OROGs remember that El Gringo Viejo has stated that this insane woman and her equally insane cabal of ultra-socialist elitists are bound and determined to  invade the private pensions....confiscate them....because "....it just doesn't make sense to have so much 'dead money' sitting around doing nothing when there are so many poor people who need so much."   This is among those ultimate objectives of Obama - Soros - Annenberg and the Bolshevik vultures who radiate from them.

     Please review the effects of just the past three and one-half years of hyper-deficit spending by Mrs. Fernandez de Kirchner.   She, like (Sir Edmund)Hillary, had the good sense to utilise a medical emergency briefly last month.   She went in for a brain operation, literally, and has sense been returned to the Presidential Palace (literally known as the Pink House).  Rumours circulate, of course, that she is intellectually incapacitated, but in that I do not know, nothing shall be stated.

This note:   Please click onto the linkage "tradingeconomics.com" just below the graph so as to arrive at a very user friendly familiarisation with economic disaster.

     The above graph shows the price of profligacy.   Argentina has been printing money at four times the rate that Obama and Bernanke have been printing money.   Therefore, in the lemming-run to the cliff, Fernandez de Kirchner and her loons should arrive before Obama  and Michelle in the three-legged sack race.

Zombo Queen of Mendazia

 

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

 

 

You know?  Sometimes a picture
just doesn't need a caption

 

      This is a hard one to figure.   We have not been able to determine if this individual is a Zombotron from the Planet Zombo, or out of a parallel universe called Mendazia.   She is, as almost all of the Obamabots, and as almost all marxists, completely incapable of telling any form of the truth.  Her main claim to fame is that she is an advocate of partial birth abortions up to and including the age of 26, since all such medical procedures are now free if the child is living with his parents....who are also free...if the Soylent Green factory is running low on ....how do you say .....supplies.

 

     Her greatest moment in terms of public service was like Mayor Nagin and Governor Blanco in Louisiana.   The saying is, "First, do nothing.  Then, wait for the Obsolete Press to pour into the flooded-out scene of New Orleans.   Then, do nothing.   After a couple of days, blame Bush."

 

     This is what the above-pictured individual did during the floods that affected her State while she was governess of said State.  She declared that she could not do much to abate the flooding because Bush had taken her National Guard soldiers and equipment off to the Iraq War.  Her own adjutant had to contradict her the next day, while adding that all necessary works had been done to prevent major flooding in the areas that could be defended, according to Plan A, about which her governorship knew nothing.  She did know how to lie however, and when called on her mendacity, she giggled and said, "Well, that's what they told me to say at the DNC  (Terry McCauliffe was the head of the DNC at the time)."

 

     How many mendacious marxist hags could one administration have in eight years.  We thought that Billy Jeff Blythe had set an unbreakable record.

 

Wondering if the Republic can withstand any more Hope and Change, we remain,

Sincerely appreciative for the presence of OROGs in the Cosmos.

Special Message for Charlie Rangel, Paragon of Virtue

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

 

 

     United States Representative to the United States Lower House of the Congress took issue with the demonstration by the Veterans over the past few days.  He was especially dismayed to note that the Tea Party, right wing extremists were showing their Klanner characteristics when it was noted that there was a Confederate Battle Flag seen at the congregation near the White House.   One.  A single flag.   Among thousands of truly distressed people who resented the idea that something so innocuous as a monument commemorating the contributions of fallen soldiers from World War II would be blocked from visitation, and the accommodation of illegal aliens to demonstrate their hatred for their hosts would be permitted,  while the same grounds were prohibited to Veterans to visit, in their latter days, a monument to their fallen buddies.

 

     Charlie, you are a slug.   You call us racists, when your entire life...with very few exceptions...has been guided by your own particular brand of self-serving demagoguery and racism.  Without it you would never have qualified to be a part-time relief taxi driver.  You were willing to shill and mislead so that you could lounge around with your walrus carcass by your pool in Santo Domingo.

 

     Concerning your reference to the "racist" Confederate Battle Flag, and your assumption that it was there because Obama is a Negro....there are two points.
     Point One:   Barack Hussein Obama has no chromosomic relationship to anything that has anything to do with the American Negro Experience.  His father was a misogynist, communist, anti-colonialist, low-grade terrorist, polygamist, drunken drug addict who finally killed himself in a drunken, drug-stewed stupor while taking his last drive in the Kenyan outback.  Obama's Negro ancestry had nothing of the American experience.  It is Kenyan, and his father only briefly moved around on American soil, and most of that movement was in the pursuit of women of whom he could advantage himself sexually and beat up.   He also managed to abandon his one child that he fathered by an underaged American female.

    At the time Barack Hussein Obama's father had at least three other wives.   Barack Hussein Obama never had any significant relationship with his father.....the one who gave him his passport into the Negro race.   So therefore, do not lecture me or anyone else if you wish to be a logical arguer of fact, that somehow it is "racist" to vigorously oppose the policies that white people who are communists and marxists have crammed into the vacuous head of an empty suit whose forte is the reading of scrolls in a teleprompter. 
 

      Point Two:   Barack Hussein Obama knows nothing of the American Negro Experience....Nat King Cole, Jackie Robinson, Frederick Douglass, the War Between the States, Booker Tecumseh Washington, the Platters, and on and on. Slavery?   Manumission? Black Confederate Veterans?  He knows nothing of those things and could care less.  He is a marxist and a narcissist.   Not a good mix.

 

     So, Charlie....with hands and soul thoroughly stained by corruption....please understand one thing.  Were Barack Hussein Obama to be a white man like Clinton or Carter there would have been hundreds if not thousands more Confederate Flags at the White House fences. The Confederate emblems, in these times, means little more than that of being a symbol of the defence of the 10th Amendment and deference to local control.  Your symbol is that of a wasted old man, flopped on a pool lounge chair with a "tropical drink" sunning yourself.,,,,living on the blood, sweat, and efforts of the productive masses.

 

Submitted to the attention of Charlie Rangel.
