A Couple of Necessary Observations - Arizona and El Chapo

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

 

 

 

Various topics that need a bit of comment are included in this transmission.

 

 

(1)    There is a little specialty shop operated by a Negro fellow who converted to Buddhism during a stay in Japan, while serving in the United States Air Force back during the 1960s.  He also became a dedicated vegetarian.   He specialised in "meaty" vegetarian cooking and preparations that appealed to men and people who really weren't "crazy-oes"  about being vegetablistic type people.   Asparagus, artichoke, cactus, capers, avocados, and the like, along with a few fudgies like sauces with creams and cheese ingredients, eggs and anchovy ingredients....these were his preparations.

     Some friends came over and asked him to cater a small wedding reception, and that he would need to co-ordinate with the "Wild and Crazy Wild Game Purveyors", a noted caterer in the area that specialised in deer, moose, fish, and other game preparations.   Smoking and pit-barbeque was their forte.

     The old Sergeant-Major, a true and practicing vegetarian/Buddhist, advised his friends that he did not want to adjunct with a meal presentation that would  integrate and complement with animal tissue being an integral part of the presentation.    "It's just against my religion," he informed those asking for the service.

 

     The people who were  putting together the reception said, "Damn!  We weren't thinking.  Of course.   The thing is your preparations are really 'meaty' so-to-speak, and we thought that since everybody likes your stuff so much that it would go together well.  Oh, well.   We'll just whip up some beans and Mexican rice and call it a meal.  Please forgive our self-centred thoughtlessness."

     The Sergeant Major then says, "Does this mean I can't go to the wedding and reception? "

     The client/friends responded, "What are you talking about?  The envelope on the counter  is yours.   If you're not there we'll come and drag you over there."

 

 

     The difference?   The people who have chosen to totally identify themselves as homosexuals....as perpetual victims....seeking to be offended....demand that they be approbated, fully accepted, endorsed, and literally yielded to on all fronts and issues.   Because of their own sense of self-loathing, they demand to be "accepted'' and "approved" as a inalienable right so as to offset that inner sense of self-hatred.  That sense of self-hatred is further exposed by the need to rename their problem, so as to be "gay" in lieu of homosexual. 

 

     The first scenario, the one about the Sergeant Major, is the correct solution to being denied service due to the provider's religious positions.   It is also a very slight variation of a true story that took place not too many years ago in Central Texas.   The story was "reconstituted" a bit so as to make certain that there would be no association with specific and known people.

 

      The "Arizona Law" concerning religious exclusion prerogatives pertains to the events described concerning the issue with the Sergeant Major and his potential clients.   The easily offended and people without the sense of propriety and driven to prove how "tolerant'' they are, will leave no crystal or china in the antique store unbroken in their zeal to prove their "moral superiority".   They will always consider their proclivities to be unassailable law, and other peoples' deep religious and philosophical understandings and beliefs invalid, stupid, and evil.

 

     Another slide into shortstop by the secular progressives and anti-traditionalists.  Morally devoid, intellectually defective, legally inert, but oh! so arrogantly superior.

(2)     "El Chapo" Guzman, and his capture, represent just one more step in the gradual, steady degradation of the cartel business.  El Gringo Viejo was pleased to see the effective and efficient take-down by the Mexican Naval Infantry of this horrid, cancerous scab on the skin of the human race.

 

     The press immediately began to denigrate the effort by declaring that Guzman would pay his way out in a week, and further the only way he was taken down was due to the DEA and Homeland Security and the DOJ on the American side being in charge of the action.   Such was not the case.   And Guzman has not "paid his way out" as of yet.  It is doubtful he ever will, and it is also doubtful that he will be extradited because the "bureaucratic class" within the American "public service community" really does not want the American public to know how many Democrat operatives and office-holders, along with unionised constabulary in the United States have been co-opted by Guzman's tentacular organisation.

     The immediate example of Caro Quintero, recently released from detention by a panel of three federal judges in Mexico, was repeatedly cited.  The thing is, that action was immediately contested officially and politically across the broad spectrum of the Mexican body politic, save, of course, for the leftist (marxist) Partido de la Revolucion Democratico (PRD). 

      Also, even though the press reports that Caro Quintero disappeared into a fog and his whereabouts will never be known again, his position is known by Mexican police and military individuals, Interpol, French and American police agencies, and other interested parties.    He has been effectively tailed since his release, and he seems unconcerned about and/or unable to consider issues about his secrecy or hiding out.   It is generally assumed that Caro Quintero is terminally ill, and perhaps even providing ensights with Interpol and/or Mexican military intelligence about what little left he knows that might be relevant to to-day's cartel activities.
     It is necessary to point out that in Mexico City,  elements of the PRD immediately impulsed hundreds of cannon-fodder "professional marching protesters" with appropriate T-shirts, banners, and placards to demand "Income equality now! Free 'El Chapo Guzman'!!"   Amazing. 

     Finally, Guzman...the most recent thug take-down...had his problems begin when the citizenry of the area around Choix, Sinaloa began to, essentially, rebel against the slugs and thugs comprising "El Chapo's" organisation.  The tales about the natives' love for "El Chapo" and about how much "good work" he had done for the poor and oppressed were written by people who are disposed to think of Ernesto Guevara as an "agrarian reformer".

 

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

(this note:   the video indicates that Guzman was able to avoid the Naval Infantry in Mazatlan because of an intricate system of tunnels, etc. etc,  That event was actually in Culiacan, the capital of Sinaloa State of Mexico, several weeks before.   There are other incorrect details in the reading by the announcer, but nothing that takes away from the most important facts of the capture)

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

  It was a little less than a year ago when major units of the Mexican Army penetrated and disorganised  the area and the personnel that had longed pertained to El Chapo and his father before him.  He was  flushed out....went not too far....to Culiacan....was flushed out again fairly rapidly....and then finally was re-located in Mazatlan, pretty much abandoned by his Pretorian Guard and unprotected by the supposedly totally compromised civilian authority.

     Like another of his ilk...who the people loved because of all he gave them, Sadam Hussein al Tikriti...he was taken without a shot being fired.

 

It was a good day for Mexico.   And humanity.

More Later.

Hey! O'Reilly! Brother's Keeper? Really? Plus other Socially Insensitive Observations

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

 

 

    We were recently treated to the pleasure of watching The Great Interrupter, Bill O'Reilly, being called to the Inner Sanctum in order to hobnob with the  Great Fundamental Transformer.   The White House confab had to do with another assembly of gibberish and gush about establishing Utopia while employing rules that require the complete disregard of Natural and Common Law.

 

     The blessed event was called something like "My Brother's Keeper".   The host for the event was a fellow who has accomplished the following:

 

                 (a)    Disregarded his own ill and pitiable, impoverished brother in Kenya.   That brother lives in what can only be described as grinding poverty.  The Great Fundamental Transformer has also managed to disregard the plight of his Uncle Omar Onyango Obama and his Auntie Zietuni by foisting them off onto complete public assistance provided by the people of Massachusetts and the United States of America.

 

                (b)     The destruction of the medical provision system of the United States of America as it was known, and forcing the replacement of said system with some absurdity forged from the cellars of various ash-bins of History and some place where Alice wound up by falling through a rabbit hole.

     By performing this amazing hare-brained feat of Magic, His Transformership has managed to at least 265,000,000 people either in a position of having lost medical insurance coverage or being in profound danger of losing said coverage sooner rather than later.

 

             (c)     With the Great Transformer enlightened approach, we are told that his desire to be his "Brothers' Keeper" he has deigned to subsidise medical insurance for the proles, dregs, and parasites who see themselves entitled to have other people pay for their insurance.   The Great Transformer declares that he is giving these people....not free money....but something even better;   Subsidies.

         Since the 50% of the adult population that pays all the taxes anyway has always paid for the proles, dregs, and parasites via  public health departments (free shots, anyone?) and Medicaid....perhaps nothing much has changed.   Perhaps there is a bit of a shift at least in style due to the fact that middle-income people are being globbed onto the Medicaid roles so as to further facilitate the notion that being a blood-sucking, Draculene parasite is now equated with ".....doing God's work".

 

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

     So in this case, the Fundamental Transformer and lecturer concerning the need to be our brothers' keepers, we are told to keep on doing the heavy lifting while he struts about telling people to keep doing the heavy lifting.   Novel notion.

 

     We are then treated to an interview with Valerie Jerrod shortly after the soiree at the White House with the swells.   That interview and O'Reilly's restatements about the nobility of the President's new-found realistic approach to Midnight Basketball 252.2 gives El Gringo Viejo even further cause to doubt O'Reilly's pertinence to anything remotely remotely reasonable thinking and/or Constitutional, conservative philosophy.   O'Reilly was, is, and will forever be one of the "reasonable" players on the political scene.

 

     Therefore, although it will certainly fall on deaf ears, we transfer this message from the Galaxy Reality.   "Dear O'Reilly, the deal is done.  Public assistance programmes have generated a population of several million people born with no souls.  There is no recovery for these poeple.  Nothing can be 'done' for them.  The only ones who will be saved are the ones who can save themselves and they are few. Very few."
 

    The AFDC  and Food Stamp Poisoning syndrome was inoculated into the "victim group" with the sole intention of destroying the United States.   Oddly, it plays well into the desire by Margaret Sanger and her posse to destroy the Negro race, at least in North America.   Progressives and their "reasonable Republican" useful idiots have given us the National Deficit that was sure to occur with the practice of crony capitalism, along with subsidised sloth and harlotry.   Those seeds have long since replaced the "waving fields of grain" with the reaping of the whirlwind produced by Godlessness and secular humanistic hubris.

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

 

 

     My Brother's Keeper.   Sheesh.  Do we spell this type of hypocrisy and hubris "chutzpah" or "hutzpah"?    As for O'Reilly, we really think he should be commended for being reasonable and open minded.  What with Barry Soetoro's fine record for veracity and positive accomplishment in improving quality of life issues for oppressed minorities, as well as his numerous foreign policy victories....we think that Billy O'  really, really is reasonable and open minded.    Right?

El Gringo Viejo

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

Many Heroes and Many Villians

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

 

     El Gringo Viejo has driven north from Seguin, Texas several million times, heading for either San Marcos, Texas to the University there....now known as Texas State University, a dull replacement for its older and more noble name, Southwest Texas State University.....or to other points to the north.   Other times meant a drive to Austin, Texas the capital of the Republic of Texas, where he lived for a good while.   Austin is the Sodom and the Gomorrah of our blessed entity, but it remains a good and interesting place even for dull and boring people such as me.



Jose Franscisco Navarro
Among the Greatest of the Greatest
of all Texian Heroes

 

      But, going back to just north of Seguin, Texas on Texas 123 one soon enters into a place called Geronimo, more correctly pronounced Hei -ROE - neh - moh.  The little community is an old Spanish - Mexican outpost that long, long ago lost all such characteristics with the arrival of the thousands of German settlers in the 1840s and 1850s.    But, the names mean something.  The school district is named Navarro Independent School District, and the rural community, never incorporated into city status, is still formally known as Geronimo.   It has been gentrified in recent years with the obligatory Sears houses from  the early 1900s changed into "antique and collectictible" shoppes.   A very good, and very typical Mexican restaurant named "Loera's" sits on the right, as one drives north, at the north end of town....quite close to, you guessed it...Geronimo Creek.
     Jose' Antonio Navarro was of the family that gave the names.   Some have declared that Geronimo was the grandfather of Jose' Antonio, while others maintain that Jose' Antonio's father Geronimo, Jr.  founded the large ranch during the Spanish Colonial period and christened it on the day of San Geronimo, that being the saint's day on the Roman Catholic calendar.   Whichever is true, and we have spent and will continue to spend time researching the point, the Navarros were well entrenched in the life of the area by the 1830s.

Stephen Fuller Austin
Father of the Republic of Texas

     Jose' Antonio Navarro was an interesting personality because he managed to have had four different citizenships during his lifetime without every having renounced one....or applying for another.    He was born a Spanish subject, and with the completion of the break by Mexico from Spain, he became a Mexican citizen....first a subject of Emperor Agustin de Iturbide I (1822 - 1823) and then as a citizen of the Republic upon the deposition of the Imperiato and the establishment of the republican Constitucion de 1824.   As Texas and Coahuila devolved into the mess of war against the Centralists under the command of Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna, Navarro became a Texian....not only by just standing still, but also by attending, participating, and guiding the movements and actions of the Convention at Washington on the Brazos...near what is now Brenham, Texas.   Three people of the sixty there gathered had considerable experience in the nature of political stylings, the law, and matters of State.  They were Sam Houston, Lorenzo de Zavala, and Jose' Antonio Navarro.

     Navarro had one other great marker in his personnel file.   He was the closest friend and advisor to another great Texian personality...The Father of Texas ....Stephen F. Austin.   Because of Austin's health, it was thought that Navarro not only represented a large body of large landowners, but also the Latin group in general, the professions, experience in dealing with Lopez de Santa Anna, but also Stephen Fuller Austin himself on the floor of the Congress. The Congress of Texas....the Congress of Coahuila y Texas....and the Congress of the Republic of Mexico.

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

     To-night, we wait with Trepidation and fear of showing fear.  There are 1,600 Mexicans supporting the indefensible official Mexican Centralist Government's  position facing off against a rag-tag bunch of 200 or so.  That small body was too stubborn to have taken the advice of Texano civilian leaders and military advisors...to choose their fight to the east and not waste themselves before a tyrant by dying uselessly in a nowhere place, defending nothing of military import.    This is their antepenultimate night on this earth, those inside the walls, and fully one-third of those outside the walls will join their enemies on the flight to judgement in less than thirty hours from the posting of this notice.

Pray for the souls of friend and foe.  The Ghosts of the Alamo will be restless again.  They never go away.

An Interesting Tale about a Wondrous Place in the Middle of Nowhere

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

This is another submission from our allies in the outpost at the ranch in "Extreme Central Texas".   It speaks to a bit of lore that is known to Real Live Texans,  and while what is written might sound like a "midsummer's night's dream", the OROG needs to be aware that it is simply so much innocent accuracy.

Demasiado and Gringo Viejo,

      Here is a border porosity story less than three days old.  Among other things, it will establish that the “Law of Unintended Consequences” is alive and well.  Five years ago Princess Better Half and I tried to visit the Big Bend National Park but the Rio Grande had flooded during the drought and we were not allowed to drive south of Marfa, the scene of another funny story during an election year that I am not sure I should mention on here without more deliberation.  In an event, we are driving around the least visited and a very spectacular park when we come to Boquillas Crossing, the end of the road.  There is nothing there and you have to want to be here BAD to even find this place.  Where is Boquillas, you might ask?  Well Boquillas is 60 miles southeast of Terlingua, Texas, a thriving hippie hideout.  There is no significant town in either direction, up river of down river, closer than 150 miles, in Mexico or in the U.S.  We could not see the river from the U.S. Customs and Immigration point, so I asked how this crossing works?  It was then revealed me that you walk through the bushes, walk down the river bank a 100 feet and then wave and whistle.  This was too good to miss! 

      We had not intended to cross the border and Princess Better Half did not have her passport, but I happened to have mine; so while she read a book about half breed black and Seminole scouts used by the Army on the border; I proceeded down to the Rio Grande, waving and whistling.  Soon a boat appears and we agree that $5, will suffice for a round trip rowboat cruise.  On the Mexican side there were more tourist selections….would I rather ride a burro, a horse or a pickup truck for ¾ mile to the town of Boquillas, cost $5 per round trip, “out of kindness, I suppose.”  I selected a burro and was assigned Estoban Diaz Onates as mule skinner and town guide.  I ask Estoban about the population of Boquillas and learn there are now 39 families with five new houses, but no electric wires to most of them.  

      It seems that Boquillas was a prosperous mining town for silver and lead around 1900.  Later, in 1944, according to Estoban, the acquisition of the national park by the U.S. government caused problems with the transportation of ore through the park on park roads, etc.  Apparently, after the mining departed, tourism flourished with a few gringo tourists visiting each day.  We walked around town while I bought scorpions, ocotillo plants made from wire and beads, a walking stick and a woven bracelet.  It made them feel good and made me feel even better, all for $30.  See photo of me and Parda, the burro, with used Ford pickup in hot pursuit.

      Now the Law of Unintended Consequences.  Soon after 9/11/2001, the border crossing at Boquillas was closed.  So all the people were without work, but the men merely walked across the river and got jobs in the U.S., illegally of course.  A year ago, the Boquillas crossing point reopened and now with the economic downturn in the U.S., most of the men have returned home to the new tourist business again.  That is why there are five new houses in Boquillas and boys and girls, that is the end of today’s lesson in international market economics.

      An hour later, after returning to the U.S. side; my wife, Princess Better Half and I were hiking up Boquillas Canyon and saw several of the same trinkets for sale with coffee cans to deposit the money on the honor system, no people around.  Suddenly, we look down stream and here comes one of the young men on a horse, splashing across the river, out of sight of the border crossing and up the steep hiking trail, complete with horse poop, to check the cans for money.

 

Sincerely,

 

Outpost Commander

       During the 1960s, El Gringo Viejo had the good fortune to have arrived in Boquillas, Chihuahua while working for the Institute of Texian Cultures.  We had the occasion to cross over and visit the humble place that was fairly vibrant in spite of its isolation.  In those days Old Timers would take their mules and donkeys and a couple of saddle mounts into the mountains in search of gold seams, sometimes with success.

     The father of El Gringo Viejo was briefly stationed in the Fort Leaton, Terlingua, and Fort Lajitas (quite near the mouth of the Boquillas Canyon area and the little village across the Rio Grande) area during the 1929 - 1933 period of his service with the Ist Cavalry (mounted) Division, 12th Regiment, Headquarters Squadron, during a time when that part of Mexico across the Rio Grande was "outside the national territorial control" of the Republic of Mexico.  It was thought that it was an ideal place for anarchists and "community organisers" of the period...especially from the Soviet Union and certain European countries could easily move into and out of the United States.

Independence Day - 2 March 1836

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

 

TO-NIGHT PASSES INTO TO-MORROW, WHICH MEANS THAT WE CELEBRATE THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF TEXAS IN THE FACE OF ALL ODDS, AND AGAINST THE PRESENCE OF ONE OF THE BEST  (and worst) ARMIES ON THE PLANET AT THE TIME.

     There were seven general officers, six of whom were either high mediocre to extremely competent leading the Expeditionary Force.  There were 13,000 troops, either front-line or close support and reserve, of whom, probably 9,000 were high-mediocre to excellent in terms of combat efficiency.  The Texians could not comprehend the rapidity of movement and placement that the Mexican Centralist forces covered in the length of time that they used.

     The Texians could muster, at best, no more than 3,000 actives, very few of whom had ever served in anything beyond a militia.   Among the Latin elements, there were several hundred who had had experience in drill, tactics, supply, strategy formation and the like.   But the Anglo element was good with a rifle, but not easily trained.   There were a few officer level and command Sergeant level who could serve as a brain and nervous system for any Army, but the heart, muscle, soul, and will of the Army would have to come from yeomen.   Geographic understanding, cavalry, forage, and infantry would be provided by the Latins who knew the territory from about 70 - 100 years of occupation of the land under dispute by the 1824 Tricolour people who were opposing the Centralists under Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna.

 

     Then as now, the Texians made some foolish mistakes.  They thought that because they had removed a fairly strong force of Centralists under the command of Lopez de Santa Anna's brother-in-law, Gen. Perfecto de Cos, that they could handle anything coming out of Mexico City in future.  Interestingly, he was foisted finally, from the grounds of the Mission San Antonio de Valero (The Alamo) during a spirited several day battle in December, 1835.  Then when confronted with an invasion, they foolishly determined to defend a place that strategically, was neither worth defending nor offending.   Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna, luckily for Texas, was foolish and egotistical enough to waste the flower of his particular element of the overall Army in the taking of the Alamo, which will fall four mornings ahead of now.   The Texians lost perhaps the best combination of irregular integrated infantry in the world at that time....178 - 208 men.

     Why the number difference?   Bodies were burned, save for one.  And the Latin roster that was recovered revealed the names of 19 persons, although various other accounts from surviving dependents who were inside the Alamo, Latin and Anglo said that other Latins had been present in the defence, who had come from the Yorktown area and entered three or four nights before the battle.   Others had come in from Castroville without registering with the Fort's Comandancia, either Bowie or Travis.   That is why people see different levels of numbers of defenders. 

      It is known that Lopez de Santa Anna lost at least 600 dead from the 13 days of siege and repeated assaults.   It was a foolish blunder by a man who styled himself as "The Napoleon of the West". 

      Once again, it is to be repeated that the fellows inside the walls of The Alamo never knew that Texas had "gone Independent".   Tomorrow marks the Day of the Declaration, written in large part by Lorenzo de Zavala, the first Vice-President of the Republic....the Alamo would fall four days later.

 

The new Enemy of Texas comes from the East and not the South so much.   It would have been so much better to never have joined their union and just decided to stay close, be friends, and be forever independent from things such as what are going on in Washington D.C. in these times.

This up-date, penned 1 March 2014.  We have completed the third reading of  The Blood of Heroes  by James Donovan.   This will constitute the 20th complete book-length work that has been read concerning The Alamo, the Revolution against the Mexican Centralists, and the First Texian Republican Period 1836 - 1845, by El Gringo Viejo.   It is a recommended work, although diverges on ten or twelve points of common understanding held by both sides in this Epic Battle and Noble Episode in history.   The several hundred thousand other points and statements of knowledge and worthy facts put forth by Donovan are worthy of OROGs' attentions.  It ranges from Very Good, to Excellent to Profound in our estimation.
