Update: Situation concerning Iguala, Guerrero, Mexico issue

_______________________________________________________

     During the past few dozen hours, we have tried to delve into the murky mess surrounding the matter of the "missing students" of  Ayotzinapa, near Igual de la Independencia, Guerrero in Mexico's southern highlands.

     Murky is the by-word, and it has been enlightened, oddly by some reporting from the Associated Press, and re-murkified by TIME, Inc. and the rest of the leftist press.  What follows here is the best available distillation of information without prejudice.   We start with a perfect portrait of hubris...political, social, cultural, psychological, and in all aspects:

THE IMAGE of HUBRIS
The now ex-mayor of Iguala de la Independencia
and his presumptuous wife during the afternoon
of that day when she was beginning to declare
that she was planning to run for Governor of
the State of Guerrero.
________________________________________________

   It was a few short weeks ago that the above pictured couple, Juan Arbaca and his wife Maria de los Angeles (?) Pineda held a day-long fiesta - rally in the community of Iguala, where Juan was presidente-municipal.   Maria was preparing her adorantes for her soon-to-be-announced candidacy for governor of the State.  She, as her husband and all her family, are adherents to the arch-marxist Partido de la Revolucion Democratica (PRD).   As afternoon turned to darkness, rumours began to reach the main table that even more strident adherents to the Movemiento were displeased with Maria's intentions, since she was more crook than commie, (this is not El Gringo Viejo's opinion, but established fact).

     Furthermore, it was learned that the offended faction of the PRD was probably going to come to the fiesta later and wreak havoc of some kind, probably a physical confrontation resulting in a brawl.  By this point, as is common among such people, and in this geographic place, everyone was pretty well wasted.  Juan and Maria's people were bombed on a bounteous supply of brandy and beer (all of it very good), and the other faction, mainly "professors" and "students" at the Normal "college" in nearly adjacent Ayotzinapa town, who were bombed on weed and beer....quality not known.

   During those dark hours, it has become apparent that Lady Macbeth (Maria de los Angeles) essentially ordered her husband to order the lackeys who composed the police department of Iguala to go "take care" of the "students".  The police went and harassed the "students" for a bit, and then for some unknown reason reported the "students" to the leader of the gaggle of cartel lackeys who have fled the cartels del Pacifico,  de Sinaloa, and the "Knights Templar.  In Iguala these remnants have melded into another group called Guerreros Unidos (United Warriors).   Suffice to say that the United Warriors are not the picks of many litters.

     It seems, by this point, that the United Warriors made off with two two-ton delivery trucks, went to the gathering of the "students" at the Normal "College" and rounded up the "students".   They were literally stuffed into the beds of the two delivery trucks, apparently so tightly that 15 asphyxiated on the way to Cocotla, where there is a landfill of sorts.   Once there, the remaining "students" were dispatched by shotguns and pistols.

     Apparently surprised that they had entered down a one-way street, with no going back,  the United Warriors searched out cardboard, discarded lumber, and anything that could be used for fuelling a fire.  All  the combustible material was thrown on top of the heap of corpses and a barrel and/or several smaller containers of gasoline and diesel fuel was poured over the mess.   It took between 14 and 15 hours for the entire ghoulish mass to be reduced to nothing but ash and a bit of bone and tooth.   Then it was exeunt all.

     Then begins the wrath of sour grapes.  Parents had sent their  children to a Normal "college" knowing that each child would be used as a slave - spear holder - bullet catcher for upper classmen and "profressors" for two years.   They knew that their children would sleep on the floor of a classroom for two years....thirty to the classroom.   The Normal "college's" fairly large gardens would be tended by their children as underclassmen, along with what little maintenance and repair is done at the "college".  Their children would be sent by the "professors" to take over pay-booths at the various places along the toll road between Acapulco and Mexico City where they would take the tolls until their scouts would call or signal that the Army was on the way.   Their children would also learn how to take and sequester busses of all classes and de-board the passengers, take their money and valuables, and then torch the busses.  Part of the Peoples' Tax for the Revolucion!!!

     But now the parents are concerned about the missing "students"  and "professors".  All the family members, the remaining "students" and "professors", and several thousand professional ''community organisers" are now committed to the recovery, in live form, of the missing children.  They demand the return of the children.   Mobilisations have begun throughout Mexico, but principally in those areas that always seem to be in upheaval; Chilpancingo, Morelia, Oaxaca, and of course around any university, almost without exception.   It is only in the north of the Republic where such turmoil is rare around a university campus.

    It should be pointed out that these demonstrations especially exited the community organiser community in Mexico City as well.  Some 20,000 gathered on the Zocalo recently to protest (a rather small crowd, by Mexico City standards).  The more ardent of the community organisers even attempted to kick down the 7 tonne doors of the Presidential Palace, and after failing that they actually hurled Molotov's against them, causing damage albeit minor.

     The vandalism and disorders have probably cost and/or lost in the neighbourhood of 20,000,000 USD by this point.  But no cost is either too little or too much to try to jump the shark.   It became time, not to blame the team of Juan and Maria, but rather the President Enrique Pena Nieto and the Partido Revolucionario Institucional (PRI).   Blame is left over to condemn the previous administration of the Conservative party, the Partido de Accion Nacional (PAN) and the then President, Felipe Calderon Hinojosa.

     Why does the community organiser community blame them for what has happened to the lost "students" that nobody seems to be willing to return?   Well, obviously the cutbacks to the budgets allowed by the central government during this and the previous administrations have been very injurious to the Normal "colleges" under the control of the most radical of all the teachers' unions.   Therein lies the rub.

     Using a Mexican marxist form of Obama national socialist / marxist rationale, if the "students" and "professors" had not have had to been meeting concerning how plan to force Maria to guarantee State subsidy increases for the "colleges" there would have been no progression of events that led to the "students" being attacked.   One begins to hear about how, like Treyvon and the Gentle Giant, they were all good kids.   They were victimised by the rich, the politically powerful, and the essentially white racial part of the Mexican population.   They never burned a bus that they didn't let everyone get off of first, you know.

"Students" from the Normal "college"
 learning applied Urban Renewal concepts

    International, Mexican, and Mexican military specialists have all been coming to the conclusion that the 43 "students'' were essentially totally immolated.  What little remained was put into bags and thrown into a nearby river.  The perpetrators were Juan Abacar and his wife, Maria de los Angeles Pineda.  They are referred to in Mexican law at the "intellectual authors" of the crime.  The active agents were 16 members of the Warriors United gang and several local policemen from Iguala.  There were 9 "students" who were set aside  somewhat during the disorders, and taken to jail, thereby saving them from what happened to the remainder.

     As you all know, this writer would be a PAN member were he to be a "real live Mexican", so if he declares that Enrigue Pena Nieto and the PRI had nothing to do with this matter...it is so.   As it concerns Felipe Calderon Hinojosa and the PAN, they had even less involvement.   And now all know the rest of the story.   Please discern when articles and news stories paint with a wide brush about the corruption in Mexico.  This was an internal affair of the very far left PRD.

     Finally, consider also that Maria de los Angeles Pineda's two brothers were killed by cartel operatives during inter-cartel warfare.  Her parents were recently arrested on national warrants for complicity in murder and in organised crime.  All four of her grandparents were deeply involved in the cartel activity....for three different cartels over the years.   They were not good people.  They found the right people to represent the Partido Revolucionario Democratico,  I genuinely lament to say.

You did well, Barry....Stayed true to form

_________________________________________ 

    It is Sunday and there are other and better things to do.   There is no way, however, that we could go without commenting upon the fact that Barry outdid himself, one more time.   When asked a question during his stay in Australia, about the matter of MacGruber's Folley, Barry true to his dull,  predictable, mendacious form declared that he had had no knowledge of any of it.  Further, his staff had just informed him of the matter as he came out to the presser.   He also allowed that MacGruber was never a staff member of his administration.  It was pointed out that MacGruber opinions are not Barry's opinions.

     All of Barry's remarks were carefully, and childishly, and churlishly worded in opacity, multiple possible meanings, and with a sneer.   We know, and he knows that his only reason for living at this point is to arrange scenarios whereby he can paint Republicans and Conservatives as bad people who actively want to hurt other people and to keep them "down".

     IRS,  ATF, VA, ISIS, a totally corrupt upper-level of the Department of Justice as well as almost every other aspect of the administrative level of his regime, and a general officers corps that is not worthy of the men they lead.....it is a veritable show.

More Later.  Thanks for your continued time and patience.

The Dogs of the Hacienda de La Vega

__________________________________________________

   .

So much of the human condition is represented by the amount of self-imposed slavery a person is willing to endure that it is necessary at times to remember our four-footed masters and mistresses who require so much and give so little

     Here, to the right, one can see the Rhodisian Lion Hound mommy-dog, hiding out in plain sight at the Quinta Tesoro de la Sierra Madre.  She is taking a respite from attending to her six pups who live over at the Hacienda de La Vega, about 200 yards away.  She is a frequent visitor to the Quinta and really likes doggy treats.



     In this photo, we find Rafael feeding his pups, along with his overseer, Ciro.  The Quinta's dog, Bebe the Labrador is busy posturing against one of Guera's brothers.  She has two huge brothers who look viscous, but are actually quite even-tempered.

   These six-week old male pups are also quite even-tempered.    They eat and sleep.  The closer one is called a "white" Rhodisian because of his very light tannish hue.  Both already exhibit the characteristic cross-growth along the spine that is a characteristic of these hounds.  They were bred for home defence against the great cats of the interior African jungles, and while genuinely mild mannered, they are vicious defenders of the home.   Their size  is a bit less than a Great Dane, but larger than a German Shepherd, for instance.







   This is just a bit of a departure from the normal fare for the OROG, to show that other loose cannons and bats wander around inside my little grey cells than my concern for the American Republic.

All and each to his/her weekend.

Waves batter the White House while Republican leadership cowers

___________________________________________________

      The most discerning voters, in the main, voted during the last electoral process.  They waded through the "war on women", the "Republicans are racists and need a big tent or else" and "the Obama Socialised Medicine Initiative is settled law", olus a myriad other ridiculous charges.  They threw their best "raise the minimum wage" and the "Republicans are going to pass pro-lynching laws" and "Republicans are going to cut your help and Obama checks".

     Once again, the discerning and the ideologically rational went ahead and voted Republican, even though at times it was like using mayonnaise in lieu of salsa picante.   There was little hope that the Republican leadership and their friends and allies such as George Will and Brit Hume and Karl Rove would genuinely take faith, strap on their armour, and take to the front.

 

     As El Gringo Viejo sits in his darkened corner and nibbles on his NoDoze and sips on his Air Wick, so do the Correct and Moderate Republicans.  So we are treated to a bunch of old, white, and chubby men wobbling over to the warehouse and pulling out the made in Red China Trojan Horse, wiping it down, oiling the axels, to be redeployed.   Redeployment means rolling the trusted Beast once again into the mass of snake handlers and blue collar rubes who just call themselves Republicans, and then pouring out the army of real Republicans into the talking head battlements to lecture the unwashed, one more time.

     I remember Romney's campaign having skilfully snatched defeat from the jaws of victory in 2012.  We were admonished to either induct more "Hispanics" into the GOP or we would be ushered into the dustbins of history within 48 hours.  Even our best friends, the ultra-leftists and the progressives and the Save the Elephants chapter of the Democrat Party came forward to give us grief counselling on a pro-bono basis.

     When the Majority Leader-in-waiting declares that there will be no budget battle nor will there be any challenge to Obama's illegal and unconstitutional immigration "reforms",  we begin to have that old, familiar feeling....of nausea.   We begin to wander aimlessly through all those old, familiar places that brings to mind not only what could have been, but also most certainly should have been.

     It is a simple matter in this days to reach out, over, into, through, and among the hoi polloi and hobnob without permission from the Obsolete Media, Michelle Robinson, or Nancy Pelosi.   It would be well to put the "close down the government" argument precisely where it belongs:   on the backs of the deceptive, deceitful Democrat scoundrels.  Mitch, and John, and Ted, and Bill, and Mario, and Mitt, Ben, and twenty other heavy-duty Republicans could make all kinds of ready-to-distribute quick messages to explain to all what the truth of the issue is, and how Valerie Jarrett is involved in the mess along with people who say, "We have to vote for it in order to find out what's inside of it".

 

     It requires shaking off the phobia about being accused of shutting down a government that 60 per cent of the nation detests and that 30 per cent is dependent upon.  If we do not show strength, resolve, and purpose then why should anyone follow us?

     The rule must be:   The only "immigration reform" that will be endorsed by this Congress will be the absolute requirement and certainty that all efforts will be directed to the successful sealing of the two international borders, all airports, train stations, and other such secondary sites against the unwanted intrusion of people not qualified for entry into the United State of America.

     Further, the new Congress should assert that the various States must be allowed to devise adjunct laws that do not contradict the newly established, legal, and Constitutional laws enacted by said Congress.  Sanctuary areas must be declared illegal, and no illegal alien can have any prerogative of any kind to expect that his and/or her baby is an American citizen simply due to the fact that said baby was delivered over American soil.



The Roman Empire in 117 a.d.

   If these measures are not established we shall see the invasion of people who will cause an imitation of that bleak period of the Roman Empire that endured in decline for eight or ten generations and then finally collapsed upon its own weight.   When the time came to turn out the lights in Rome, it was directly due to a 10 year episode of hostility between the heavily ethnically diluted Romans and the Germanic group we know as the Vandals.  Thence the term vandalism in to-day's lexicography can be explained.

    There is nothing good to come of being "fair".  For, if we are "fair", the ruin will fall upon us all.  Both the recently arrived and those who have many....perhaps scores...of generations buried in the soil of this Continent.  This would be a miserable commentary on the type of governance we practice, with politicians such as Obama being so willing to sell a fine horse for a couple of packages of Nicorette.  

    It is a time to be bold and decisive and to defend the Republic for the good of all.  Why so for all?   One need only ask, "If America is severely weakened by the need to care for a new batch of huddled masses....who will care for the huddled masses elsewhere?''

Thanks for the time and interest.  More will follow soon.

Royalty Unhinged: Why Obama must be opposed on "immigration reform".

_________________________________________

 

 

     It is very necessary for us to be resolved in this matter of King Barry's initiative in the area of what is styled "immigration reform" in these times.   The entire matter has become essentially a power play by Progressives to further deteriorate the body politic of the United States of America.

   It is a matter of some head-scratching, morbid humour to note that the left in America has swung back and forth, wildly, depending on the style of the moment, the time of the month for Margaret Sanger's followers, and how the Yankees wanted to deal with the "African Problem".

     Sanger's great desire was to eliminate the Negro Race from the Continent, along with Mexicans of any kind, most Southerners, Jews, and broad swaths of people of eastern and southern European ancestry.  This early-model Hillary felt that Mongolians  and all other funny looking people who ate a lot of rice needed to be kept out of the United States at the very least, if not off the face of Planet Earth.   Ergo, the prototypical founder of Planned Parenthood and mother of was integral in the establishment of organisations that were dedicated to getting rid of the inferior masses.

W. E. B. Du Bois in 1918

     But, a sister-ideology was afoot, also leftist.  It was more interested in the destruction of the British Empire and its royal house, along with the United States of America.   So, it was more important to them to intertwine various ethnic and racial groups into a cadre of hatred for America.   These folks, mainly out-and-out card carrying Communists under the control of the Kremlin worked tirelessly to build this matrix of sedition.

    As is extracted from Wikipedia's general synopsis, we pass along:

     Du Bois rose to national prominence as the leader of the Niagara Movement, a group of African-American activists who wanted equal rights for blacks. Du Bois and his supporters opposed the Atlanta Compromise, an agreement crafted by Booker T. Washington which provided that Southern blacks would work and submit to white political rule, while Southern whites guaranteed that blacks would receive basic educational and economic opportunities. Instead, Du Bois insisted on full civil rights and increased political representation, which he believed would be brought about by the African-American intellectual elite. He referred to this group as the talented tenth and believed that African Americans needed the chances for advanced education to develop its leadership.

     We point out the critical phrase, "....which he believed that would be brought about by the African-American political elite.  He referred to this group as the 'talented tenth' and believed that African Americans needed the chances for advanced education to develop its leadership."

     Booker Tecumseh Washington knew that the white cohort in the Old Confederacy controlled much of the coming and going of the Black Man, and that they also controlled the funds that would be required for building the institutions that could and would improve the conditions for everyone, amicably, and without useless confrontations.

     The two paths taken by the two Negro leaders could be summarised by the fact that DuBois received the Lenin Peace Prize and Washington had almost a million people who were drawn to his funeral's affairs....compsed of equal numbers of White and Black folks.

The interment of Dr. Booker Tecumseh Washington
1915, Tuskegee Institute Campus

     Another thing about the good Dr. Washington was that he mobilised what would to-day be billions of dollars from people of good will, without the Jesse Jackson - Al Sharpton shakedown routine.   He had people like the Ogdens, the Carnegies, and many more, along with broad support from the Georgia and Atlanta and Southern middle class.  He was a sociological foil against the dunces in the Klan as well as the social reformers, especially from the North, who were representing anarchists and radical labour reformers.

 

     We bring these things up so as to point out the fact that this entire issue is much more ideologically driven rather than by being impulsed by race or ethnicity.

 

     As we have pointed out, for instance, in the Republic of Texas during the General Elections just past, the vote for Republican candidates, running Republic-wide, it is reasonably calculated that around 44% of all Latinos voted for the Republican candidates.   There is some thought that as many as 20% of all people of Black-African ancestry in Texas actually did vote Republican.

 

______________________________________

 

     So, connecting up what seem to be disparate dots, we point out now that the avalanche of the results during the last General Elections, pretty much all across the nation, we assert that there is no need to insult the "Hispanic vote" with such a useless measure as some kind of immigration reform.    It is pure demagoguery.  For Republicans to tell other Republicans that it is necessary to be more "inclusive" by permitting people to be legalised as legal residents without having complied with even the most basic elements of communitarian understanding....is insulting.   The implication that those of us who oppose closing the border to all save those involved in legal crossing is some kind of "discrimination" ....is insulting.   We assure all who care to listen to reason that the path of Booker Washington was better....and we lost its inertia to those who preferred a quicker path, and a more contentious path, driven by elites shepherding the least productive.

      Our path is better and shows better results.   Furthermore, to grant access to this country by executive fiat to people who have chosen not to obey the rules of access is also insulting to those who have complied.  It is also a clear and obvious violation of the established powers within the United States Constitution concerning the separation of those powers between the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial branches of the central government. 

 

     It is all insulting to those of us who have committed the sin of having been born to colonial lineages of this country.   We are the ones who have committed no error, been kind to the visitor in the times past, and who have never offended against even the un-documented.

 

We leave this now for further consideration and comment to-morrow.

Haunting Words....and reflective of my opinion - Selected by El Zorro

   This video is fairly brief.  It relates well to my distaste for the "anti-war" people in the Congress during the period of 1970 - 1975.   Accommodative Republicans and adamantly rabid anti-American Democrats such as Frank Church come to mind.   The water has gone under the bridge, but I shall remain convinced that South Vietnam would have been better off as something more similar to South Korea, and not as an extension of Hanoi.
