Ferguson, Iguala, Demagogues, Charlatans

                       ________________________________________________

     We watched the events of Ferguson, Missouri occur last night, without any sense of surprise, but with a profound sense of sadness.   It seems that the world, but more especially the American Republic has fallen off the rails of reality.

     The fact is, however, that the world has been in worse shape.  Wars, plagues, and all manner of uprisings....Robespierre, Lenin, Hitler.   Smallpox, polio, and fifty per cent child morality.   Women going to childbirth with a twenty per cent chance of mortality by her third child, and such things.

 

     During these times, our greatest problem does not seem to be, but bluntly, is, the lack of any reasonable catechism....Protestant, Orthodox, Judaic....or at the very least, the studied ethicist.   The lack of catechism, and the second like unto it, the shaping of attitudes replacing the tutelage of knowledge combined in recent years to destroy any justification for ever singing, "God Bless America".

 

     To-day,  America is bad.  White people are bad.  All white people were bad. All white people will always be bad.  There is no reason to believe in the tooth faery or Santa Clause, we have Holy Days to no purpose beyond the justifying three contiguous days of escaping the salt-mine.  We cancel days that are meant to honour truly great persons, while others who are terribly morally flawed, are adulated by a purposefully ignorant populace.

 

     We hide from the presence of the Great Cosmic Force, as did Adam and Eve, shamed by our own disobedience, but too prideful to regret it.  So we hide.  We hide behind platitudes.   The rich get richer and the poor get poorer.  There should be bi-partisan agreement to help the middle-class.   We need to invest in our children with better schools.   You only get the quality of teacher that you're willing to pay for.   Everyone is in favour of the safety net for people who really need it.  There is no other entity except for the "Federal Government" that is big enough to deal with "The Problem".

 

     Of course, the fact is that the "safety net" is the ruin of a nation.  Paying people who have not decided to pay their own way is what the "safety net" has become....long ago.  It only took one and one-half generations for the lethargic to learn that it was easier to let someone else pay the bills.   This was the plan of the Socialist Elitists and Wise Ones like Gruber and Pelosi and the (Sir Edmund) Hillary - types to develop a large army of hopelessly stupid, mean, coarse, indolent, violent and entitled humanoids.   They knew, and as Eleanor Roosevelt had hoped, the establishment of a perpetual underclass that would justify an ever expanding roll for the central government to control each and every act and action of a bulk of citizenry that could ensure re-election of intellectual, elitist socialist politicians.

    The "safety net" encourages the lack of willingness to construct a marriage, by allowing an easy out.   An argument, a money problem, a bad health habit, or any provocation major or minor can quickly end any relationship, allowing usually the male to disappear "somewhere".   The pressure of having to work 30 to 90 hours a week to provide for family is daunting for the morally un-schooled and the intellectually incapable or unprepared.

 

     Part of this formula for success requires the flooding of the Republic with people who are woefully unqualified for residence in this Republic.  More and more people who arrive with the expectation, as so eloquently stated by the girl in Guatemala, "I want to take my son and daughter.  In the United States they pay people to eat."

 

     Another part is the seemingly autistic confrontation of the fact that at any given time in any large city, although not so much in the South, the mall or downtown shopping, bars, and restaurant district, hordes of black young people by the scores or hundreds can suddenly appear, steal and/or destroy everything possible in two or three minutes, and then flee.   Response by "leaders" of the "civil rights" community?   An autistic gaze....off to one side, and some mumbling about..."....it's to be spected, siderin what we have to put up with....the police dissin' us, no jobs, scrimination, cut-backs on sential services......".   But Jesse and Al, Barry and Eric, Sheila and Nancy, you all have a problem.   You all made your mark by being lying shysters and demagogues;  tommin' for the po'fokes, essentially.   And after tomming, you all go back to your gated communities so as to avoid the "realities" of life in the 'hood.

     Another unfortunate thing for the "progressives" this time;   there are just too many Black folks who perform at or above normal levels of intelligence, accomplishment, and adaptation to social norms.   Even in this Ferguson debacle, one in which Holder, Sharpton, and Soetoro excelled in their racist, marxist rant, the day was carried by a large number of volunteer witnesses to the Grand Jury who rendered testimony that was verifiable by means of forensic evidence.   Those witnesses, at great risk to themselves, testified as eye-witnesses, and even one or two , because he/ she/they were black.   One man stated that he felt obligated as a black man to come and establish the facts in agreement with what the officer said, in order to vindicate the veracity of the neighbourhood.   All of the Black folks who testified that the officer's  story was accurate and true risked a great deal, because they are obviously surrounded daily by others who have no catechism, no social or academic education, and no compunction about seriously injuring someone or destroying someone's property.

     And, please be aware, El Gringo Viejo is not talking about everyone being a  Dr. Carson, Condoleezza Rice, or Colonel West, although they are good examples.  I am talking about the guy who goes to work....at any legal and morally correct job.  The guys who have any set of advanced skills, or a business however small or large.  Once again, it is the skilled mechanic, the hair-dresser saving up to establish her own shoppe or buy out the one where she has become the "lead girl", or the teacher, or the Nurse Practitioner....etc. etc. etc.   We are references men who lead their children by their presences and guidance, and who lord over "The Family".

Why the balky deployment of the National Guard in Ferguson, Missouri?

    

     Little known but very relevant facts seem to float around in the ether like low hanging fruit on a short tree.  Weapons of mass destruction were found, early on during the Iraq invasion.  Lois Lerner's emails were found in plain sight.  A Marine Sergeant's early release from Mexican detention was confounded by Barry Soetoro's unwillingness to come clean about Fast and Furious secretly funnelling automatic weapons via the Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives into Mexico.  Solyndra executives were kicking back campaign contributions from their huge salaries that were paid by  government-backed grants and loans.  Those grants and loans quickly were quickly exhausted as Solyndra went bankrupt, as did most (if not all) of the "green industry" subsidies to Democrat donors to Obama.   Tax, tax.  Spend, spend. Elect, elect.

     But here is another interesting fact, relevant to the destruction of a nice little town where once there was peace and a bit of prosperity.   The State prosecutor who headed the Grand Jury and his office decided to keep the US Department of Justice in the loop concerning scheduling, evidence recovery, and the general direction of the Grand Jury's progress.

     These transmissions were supposedly, and reasonably, confidential and certainly not for publication or broadcast.  It turns out that "....a very highly placed official in the Department of Justice", informed "someone" in the Washington Post offices that the findings and conclusions of the Grand Jury were going to be released a such and such hour, on such and such date.

 

     And so, although the perfectly worthless, useless, and disingenuous governor of the State of Missouri had mobilised the National Guard a bit less than a week earlier, they remained un-deployed....hanging around in the centre of St. Louis instead.   The honourable (?) Governor was certainly advised by the Department of Justice that they had learned of a probable announcement.  He probably confirmed to the Department of Justice that he had the same information.  It was then that some agent of Eric Holder or Holder himself, in all probability, told the honourable (?) Governor Nixon to not send in the National Guard....let the people get their protests out of their systems....we don't want to act like Republicans....or whatever.

     It was then that Holder and Obama would meet and decide to have Obama make a parting-of-the-waters speech on the air....telling the "protestors'' to stand down and seek the path of peace.   That would be the signal to burn the town to the ground.   Obama's ridiculous focus-group-phrases address to the nation in general and Ferguson in particular was designed to re-assure the single women and rich women and union thugs that Obama is a man of Peace, and the Advocate of the Salvation of the Collective.

     The problem for Obama and Holder, if this scenario is true, is that Obama never had the chance to part the waters by holding up his magic staff.   His help mates from the New Muslim Brotherhood and the Communist Party, apparently with their own access to reliable timing information, had kicked-off the "party" ahead of schedule, once they were certain that the policeman had been no-billed.

     This left Father Obamaham talking about following the rules and how America is a nation of Laws (?) and violence will not be tolerated. blah, blah, blah, while on the split screen the whole world could see Ferguson burning.

    All ridiculous.  All designed for the low information and low intelligence crowd who has an addiction for "reality programmes".  The National Guard, in any regard was not deployed.  They were mobilised, but not deployed.  Had they been deployed, en force, four hours before, things would have been different.  It they had been correctly staffed-up, there would have been 7,500 infantry with bayonets fixed and with announcements having been made that any looters would have to consider that the police and soldiers have orders to shoot-to-kill any looters, vandals, or provocateurs.   That is what is required when dealing with mentally, morally, and socially defective humanoids.

  

Attorney General Eric Holder
Hero of the Battle of Ferguson

___________________________________________________

 
     Because the good Governor Nixon was more concerned with the tender feelings of the looters and vandals than with the business community, another $20,000,000 in damages was racked up, and several businesses were completely destroyed.   First things first.  We really needed to let the "peaceful protestors" have their right to protest respected?   That solved all the problems?  

    But at least Eric Holder taught the Whiteys who had the power of life, death, and property over the stupid taxpayers and business owners.   Problem was....many, perhaps a majority....were Black folks, Orientals, and old-timers.  Good show, Eric!!  You are a real marxist sack of camel vomit.

     Like the parents of Treyvon Martin, we find that the parental convolution arrangement of the "Gentle Giant" (hood for 'bully') now has the mother and step-father in line for felony charges of aggravated assault and robbery (the mother) and inciting to riot, aggravated on the step-father's part.

     The mother, totally ripped apart by all of this, charged in and confiscated a vendor's operation because he was selling "hands-up! don't shoot" souvenir T-shirts and other "memorabilia" when it is the mother's contention that all such sales pertain to her prerogative and copyright.   A lot of grieving involved here, don't you see?   After all, she had thrown the "Gentle Giant" out in the street two years earlier because of his habit of beating her up for money...and stealing household items.  Nice kid....nice mom...nice step-father.   Mom wields a pretty good metal pipe, according to witnesses.

     The story becomes wilder and wilder as the hours go by, but authorities are considering serious charges at this time.

Thanks for your time and interest.  Please remember that this same disorder is what goes on down in Iguala where the "students'' were lost.  These movements serve only to destroy and debase.   The participants do not care about anything except disorder, damage, threats, and death.  It is their objective.  They hate America.

"We wanted more" - Jorge Ramos

____________________________________

JORGE RAMOS,
UNIVISION, FUSION 

 ______________________________________________________
 

We are given go understand that Jorge Ramos demands more. 

 

     Jorge is described as being the number 2 most popular person among Hispanics in the United States. I doubt that, quite sincerely, and also suggest that the definition of popularity and Hispanic could take up the better part of several year's engagement.
      The one thing that is known is that Jorge is a marxist facilitator. During the last rounds of the Presidential campaign of 2012, Obama appeared on a Univision programme with Jorge and a nice lady, fellow marxist reporterette, looking very professional, of course. Jorge, also of course, is a racist who sees everything through the microscope that reveals all "Hispanics" being as being victims of a capitalist Anglo-American-Jew conspiracy, and through the telescope that shows marxist thugs and frauds such as Obama, Hugo Chavez, Carolina Fernandez de Kirchner, and the Castro clowns to be heroic, larger-than-Rushmore Titans of Purpose for the Poor.
      Ramos did his duty by serving as the straight man for his fellow marxist fraud. He asked Obama about "Fast and Furious", and before he could finish the question, Obama high-handed the "moderator" and said something to the effect that ...."I didn't know anything about that when i came into office. It was a Bush Administration programme, and as soon as I found out about it, I ordered it closed down." Jorge Ramos and his reporterette assistant sat like bumps on a log, nodded, and went on to the next softball.
      So, Jorge...you want more?? Do you really want more?? Here is more. You are a liar. You knew the truth and what a truthful answer would sound like. You heard a blatant lie, and sacrificed your duty as a reporter, as usual, to follow the old tired, ethnically bigoted, marxist inspired path you have always followed...hypocrite though you are. You live in Miami because you tired of hanging around a place that is full of Mexicans. Typical marxist, arrogant hypocrisy.
      You knew that the Bush-era programme was called "Wide-Receiver" and that it was closely co-ordinated with the Mexican Army. You know that the Army and the US DOJ worked effectively in tracking the chipped automatic rifles into serpents' nests of the traffickers. When the Army found out that the chips were discovered, they notified their American counterparts and the moles were dispersed, and the programme was shut down.
      Fast and Furious, on the other hand was established solely for the purpose of feeding American private-type arms into the hands of cartel people with the intention and blatant hope that they would be used in the shooting of American civilians and/or constabulary. This was so as to begin active measures to close down gun sales to private parties such as individual Americans.
     To date over 1,300 Mexicans have been killed or wounded with these weapons (probably more by not);  semi-honest and honest cops, patriotic Mexican soldiers and Naval Infantry, men, women, and children shot down like dogs in the crossfire of, or in combat with, cartel thugs.
  But, Jorge Ramos, you stayed in with your fellow marxist. You sacrificed your feeble remaining credentials so as to back up a fellow hypocrite. And you are a liar, because, knowing the truth, you allowed someone to perpetrate a lie, on your time, on your theatre, and if you will, against "your people". What a pitiable lackey. Backing up Obama and Holder who were laughing up their sleeves about "getting away with" the killing of a bunch of people.   


    But, then again,  who cares?   What difference could it possibly make?    They were just Mexicans who could never really hope to live in Miami, like important people...important liars....important people who can be accessories before, during, and after the fact to multiple charges of murder, aggravated manslaughter, perjury....just for starters:  You, Jorge!  And Obama, Holder, much of the ranking ATF AND E and most the of Obsolete Press.

 

You want more, Jorge....try being a man...not a lapdog.

Shots fired from all sides - Quick commentaries - worth the read!!

______________________________________________________

 

(1)    One might notice that Downtown Mexico City is in an uproar with Occupy Wall Street-type nihilists, anarchists, and communists demonstrating with total ardour about the fate of 43 "students who went missing" near Iguala de la Independencia, Guerrero, Mexicoe.  As we pointed out before, the present administration had, has, and will have no blame in any of this.  The entire episode was contained within a viper-pit of very minor-league gang thugs, the aspirations of a marxist sow from the Partido de la Revolucion Democratic (PRD), and a troublesome marxist ''teachers' college" quite near Iquala.

     The entire issue is one totally within that political party and its allies.  The charging of Presidential Palace, and the presidency of Mexico for any of this is the intellectual equivalent of jumping up and down with a pogo-stick inside a domed  stadium  at night with the lights out.  It is pointless.

     In spite of the fact that domestic and foreign forensic experts have established what not even I wished to think happened, it is 99.999999% probably that the "students" who were taken out by the Guerreros Unidos (gang-lackeys of the first lady of Iguala who was preparing to declare her candidacy for the gobernatura of Guerrero the night of the incident), murdered, and then immolated totally into ashes.
     The reaction of the Left in Mexico to this matter is Pelosian at best.  Throughout the Left-Nation of Mexico these disorders have been foisted upon the 80 per cent who do not agree with the demonstrators, and who have tired of having to amend their routines, once again, to give berth to the dangers and irrationality and traffick blockage these deranged marxists and anarchist present.  It is, and smells exactly like, the Occupy Wall Street.

     This narrating voice from the funereal parlour understates matters a bit, and also, in typical CNN style, bends the information so as to leave open the possibility that there might be any involvement in this affair on the part of the President.  And remember, El Gringo Viejo, were he a Mexican, would not be a member of the political party of the President.

__________________________________________

(2)     Next, the ridiculous posturing by Barry Soetoro during last night's Jimmy Swaggart moment was enough to puke a buzzard off'n a gut wagon.  Wrong on so many legal and sociological points, at least it was filled with enough brazen lies to give hope to the people who have brought us the following:

                    (a)  Over 100,000 killed by illegal aliens from Mexico and elsewhere in the world since the passage of the last Amnesty in 1986.   DWIs, outright murder, felony manslaughter, and such crimes are associated with the above, understated figure.   The number of Mexicans killed by Americans, almost always living and/or staying long term in Mexico legally?  Fewer than 100, almost all involved in organised drug or human trafficking.
     The number of Americans living full or part time in Mexico? almost 1,000,000,  plus  over 7,000,000 American tourists per year?
      Barry brought us a deepening and widening of this infestation.  Turn-arounds at the border of detained aliens are not deportations.  They are usually same-day or next-day turn-arounds....being taken directly back to a bridge and supervised as they cross back into Mexico.

                   (b)   While always a real sticking point for us, especially in the border States, the issue has become increasingly worse, especially with the arrival of more Central Americans.  The murder, three days ago, of Miss Honduras and her sister by the boyfriend of Miss Honduras who became irate at the fact she was dancing with some guy at a party celebrating her departure to the Miss Universe pageant in London...speaks to the issue.  She was doing "photo-op" dances with a line of boys who wanted a four or five second shot of them with this girl...a very accomplished, somewhat prudish, and attractive girl.

     The violence here along the border, and in the larger cities where these people wind up, has increased two and three-fold in the last five years.  Barry brought us more of this.

                 (c)     While Barry Soetoro says that his proposals will not pertain to people who might not have been here five years ago, vice-president Biden just returned from a trip to Central America where he informed those in attendance that the United States is developing a programme to ferry children to their families in the United States via charter airliners.  This is so as to "....make the un-safe journey more safe for the children"....We just can't make this stuff up.   It was declared a gaffe, but a gaffe it was not.

       We are being set-up for another inundation of Centr0americanos, even to the point that there are rumours of embarcations into rural areas of Vera Cruz State where passengers on small boats will be let off near towns like Tecolutla and Boca de Oveja on the Gulf Coast, so as to avoid the increased immigration and military presence in southern Mexico. 

       We find this very unlikely, but it is the same stuff we heard last Spring before the horribly incorrectly reported stories about the human inundation that was fixing to swarm upon us.  Barry brought us this.

            (d)      If we draw a comparison of the Obama Socialised Medicine Initiatve (OSMI) to the Veterans' Administration debacle, then remember how the Obama government dumped off the illegal alien group from Central America, literally by the bus-load into small towns, out of sight and out of view (they thought).  It is more than enough to give pause about the effectiveness of any further immigration manoeuvres by this disgusting personality who poses as a president.   We still have no idea where thousands of the last batch wound up because fewer than 20% have reported for their immigration status hearings.  Barry brought us this.

________________________________________

(3)     Next, Barry the president repeats frequently, along with his sycophants that the ".....border has never had such a presence of 'boots-on-the-ground'". This lines us directly with the fact that he is not only a certifiable, chronic, pathological liar but also an ignoramus maximus.   One can easily point to the episode during the period from 1911 through around 1921 when massive deployments to the Brownsville - McAllen/Hidalgo/Mission - Rio Grande City  part of the frontier had as many as 110,000 National Guard and Regular Army infantry, mounted infantry, and mounted cavalry deployed.

 action at Ojo de Agua during a Carrancista attack of
 the train entering the Lower Rio Grande Valley,a few
miles north of Brownsville, Texas.   From 1903 until
1921 over 300 American soldiers were killed.

A picture of U.S. Army and Illinois National Guard, in
bivouac, preparing for deployment to the Fort Brown,
Brownsville, Texas in 1915.  This one deployment numbered
in excess of 12,000....essentially one division, mixed infantry,
cavalry, and artillery batteries.

Fort Brown, Brownsville, Texas

    And we could go on with hundreds of interesting old pictures, even some that show McAllen and Hidalgo, Texas with a score-thousand of Indiana National Guard infantry units, plus units from the 1st Cavalry, RA camped all throughout what was to become downtown McAllen, Texas.   Several other battalion level cavalry and infantry units  from both the Regular Army and various State's National Guard units came through that area for almost four years.

    My own father served in the 1st Cavalry, 12th Regiment, Headquarter's Squadron from the late 1920s up to 1933.   There was still a very large, mounted  cavalry and considerable infantry presence all along the area from Brownsville to Laredo, Texas.

     So, Barry & Co.  please stop either lying or showing your ignorance about how ".....there has never been a greater deployment of boots-on-the-ground".  You do not know what boots mean, or ground means.  You know very little about much of anything, and understand much less.               _____________________________________________

Sneaky Barry Weasel

________________________________________________

     We are enthralled by the brilliance of King Barry I.   His adept manoeuvre in appearing only upon UNIVISION to-night in order to inform America about his immigration reforms and amnesty programmes deserves the disgust that it will merit.

 

     First -  his Spanish is nil.  His understanding of the sociological complex of the people he calls "Hispanic" is nil.

 

     Second  -  it is obvious that he does not want to go up against Thursday night football.

 

       Third  -   it is equally obvious that he wants to limit his audience as much as possible away from the colonial descendants, the immigrant people of the 19th and 20th Centuries, and those people of Mexican and other origin who went through the labyrinth of the citizenship process.
  Each member of the latter group has a huge parchment with fancy writing, seals, and signatures of important people, along with patriotic back-imaging.   It is a document titled Certificate of Naturalisation.
    Some even gained that document in war....on the battlefield and/or in close combat support or in continuous loyal service.   Members of  this particular group each have "HONOURABLE DISCHARGE" certificates somewhere in their important papers....or hanging on the living room wall.   The numbers of Medals of Honour, silver stars, and bronze stars are almost too numerous to count.

 

      Fourth  -   King Barry I does not particularly concern himself with the fact that in the Republic of Texas a majority of citizens of Latino background are opposed to any accommodation of illegal entrants.

    The last Amnesty occurred in 1986.   It was an unqualified disaster.   The communitarian nature of our civilisation here was torn apart, starting with the deepening and widening of the public welfare system, as impulsed by the Great Society vote-buying schemes of the late 1960s.  That was when the "Mommies in Muumuus" programme, aka "Head Start".   This allowed mommies to flump around watching telenovelas all day, while the children were given a "Dead Start" that had no impact whatsoever.  The old immersion system was much, much more effective for non-English speaking children.   But Dead Start was also a good place to give other women jobs waiting on toddlers and feeding them.

U.S. Decennial Census[10] 1850-2010[11] 2012 Estimate[ 5th largest county of 254 in Texas

     The horde of people who came over as "family members" of the individual who received amnesty, by a 2 X 1 margin, came to glob onto the public assistance programmes.  There is plenty of anecdotal example of people who did not glob on, but the overwhelming majority did.   The gang activity, wantonness, AFDC, fifteen year old mommies who found a baby, drug use, increased exponentially.  The population of Hidalgo County, for instance, increased by almost 110 per cent from the 1990 census to the 2010 census.   Murders, DWI w/casualties, aggravated assault, child abuse and neglect, perversions with very young children  (ages 2 - 9), drug addiction and trafficking, litter, graffiti, school violence, and gang violence have all increased ten-fold.      So that the OROG will note, the data derived and posted to the right is official from the United States Decennial Census, with whom El Gringo Viejo's mother worked in 1940, 1950, and in the quality control re-analysis in 1952.  She worked as a door to door enumerator, and we went into the outback quite a bit.  My mom was a very thorough and compliant type.  Most of the time she left me with her mom, and that was like being with a fairy grand-Godmother.  She would even let me pluck chicken feathers so we could fry up a big batch of Southern fried chicken in good'n hot lard-grease with lots of bacon drippings.     One might notice that the march of population growth slowed between 1960 and 1970.  That phenomena was not brought on by a plague, but rather by the closure of Moore Air Field (Mission - McAllen area ) and the Harlingen Air Force Base (Cameron County to the east).

 

     Now, that there is a labour shortage in Mexico, we notice that the gnomes of the Democrat Party....the social and political engineers....have hitched their star to a richer mine of unqualified "immigrants" , which means Honduras, El Salvador, and Guatemala.  All the people in those three countries who could possibly navigate a life in the United States, Canada, or Texas are actually pretty well set where they are.  There is another penumbric group that thinks it would be good to go to a place where the Government gives a single mom money so she can rest and where everything is free.   (And yes, that is how the thought process works.)   Food, housing, school, everything is free.   It's like.....like.....heaven.  It is sad, pitiable, and depressing...not any source for humour.  But it is true.

     One might consider that these people are not really wanted to work in Mexico.  One reason is obvious, but not the most important.  That reason is that the Mexican working class does not really need new immigrants to over-supply the labour-market. Wages have appreciated in real terms in recent years in Mexico, and a couple of million Central Americans would wreak havoc on those small but significant gains.

     The most important reason is that the Mexicans are afraid of the deteriorating social conditions that would accompany the entrance of larges groups of Central Americans, especially El Salvadorans and Honduren~os.  They have suffered and fought through six or seven years trying, with some considerable success, to take their country back from being a total playground for the caertels.  Backsliding will not and would not be tolerated at this point.
   Most Mexicans, while they wish no ill towards their southern neighbours, greatly prefer that they stay in Central America, or move quickly through Mexico if they are heading elsewhere.   The Mexican central government is actually putting up a pretty fair detention and return operation on the southern frontier during the past year.....where once the Mexican immigration officers simply shook down the Centroamericanos for the 100 American dollar "tip" that was "voluntarily" given at the turnoff to the Palenque archaeological site....on the highway connecting Villahermosa, Tabasco and Campeche, Campeche.   We witnessed this with frequency during our days operating the Grand Excursion to various points in Mexico.

     To-night Barry Soetoro will be breaking the bonds that hold this country together as a democratic republic.  As a great experiment.
It becomes  now something much more like Venezuela of Chavez and Maduro, and Cuba of the ghoulish Castro Brothers.  Hours and days of demagoguing the "counter-revolutionaries"  who want children to go hungry and be sick, and who want only the rich to have health services, perhaps that will be our fare.
     This writer sees the ghosts of ships attempting to re-supply the menaced Fort Sumpter, while Southern diplomats were hoping that Lincoln would not re-supply.   Lincoln did that act as a means of provoking the South to "fire the first shot".  We see a little guy with a toothbrush moustache damning the Jews and Judaism....pretty much like yesterday when our president wanted to remind the world of the equivalency between Hamas and  Hezbollah, and the Jewish state.    This reminder was made when the blood was still damp in that site of work-place violence, a synagogue.
     There are people who are pro-Mexican and very comfortable in a Latino environment who are going to have apoplexy at this throwing of the Constitution under the massive human transport device.   We shall see who watches, who cares, and who is going to stand and fight, door to door, block to block.


The OROGs see through the smoky field of battle why we are really convinced that Texas will be forced to remove itself from the Union at some date coming ever closer.

Some of the Differences: Reagan, Nixon, Bush and Soetoro Hussein

     It is difficult for Rush, Glen, Mark, and company to really dig down deep and stop saying "Hispanic" as if it were a term that one can use as a cast-net catching bait-fish.   It will be stated here again and again until my cold dead fingers are pulled away from the key-board.   All the funny-looking little brown people that the Progressive Elites wish to put into one little box and shelve into the very vacant warehouses of their minds really cannot be placed into one little box.
     In Texas, for instance, sociologically and demographically speaking, the Latino block within the general population could possibly be separated into a very few sub-groups that self-identify or that can be identified by other evidential processes.


For instance:

         (1)   Illegal Alien with criminal intent -  individuals who come across the Rio Grande with premeditated intent to steal, murder, rape, or brutalise a specific or generic victim set.   Almost always a mestizo or white person, racially

         (2)   Illegal Alien with passive criminal intent -  women who come across the Rio Grande while pregnant or with the intention to become pregnant so as to deliver over Terra Sanctus Americanus, thereby causing her baby to be an American citizen.  In that the baby is an American citizen and has only his/her mother as provider and protector,   such condition permits the mother to remain in Texas and/or the United States for the duration of the minority of the child.   This can be deepened and widened by receiving visits from the stork at convenient times, usually every second or third year.
      This automatically gives the mother benefits, stamps (Lone Star Card), and other support that costs the taxpayers, starting, about 30,000 American dollars per annum.  There is no employment requirement.   The women who pull this scam off are delivered by mid-wives who have been trained by pseudo-Roman Catholic nuns from the Mary Knoll  sisters, and your friendly hospital emergency room in Anytown, Texas and other facilitating facilities.  The mothers are normally mestiza or, more normally, white racially.

     (3)    Illegal Alien who is the classic "Wetback":   This is  a person who came across the Rio Grande with or without a job offer from a Gringo...Latin or Anglo...in Texas.  Most frequently these are people who are semi-skilled or even high-end blue-collar people....welders, cow-hands, fence-posters, horse-trainers, construction specialists, and even heavy equipment operators.  Stone masons and mid to high-end lawn care "technicians".  These people generally cause no problems and represent the image of Mexican "visitors" with whom Ronald Reagan, Richard Nixon, and George Bush hob-nobbed and developed strong friendships.   They were almost always clean, reserved, honest, competent, and very bonded with their families in Mexico and their employer in Texas....especially if the Gringo was civilised and fair.  Racially and ethnically, this group ranged from fully Indian, usually Tarascan or Huastec, some Totonac, and a few Otomi' and Tlaxcala group...and mestizo and, surprisingly perhaps middle to highly educated white Mexicans from Monterrey, San Luis Potosi', and other "sophisticated" parts of Mexico that are truly highly cultured in European and/or American terms.  At times these people were attitudinally mixed with the Bracero Programme people and others who were given War-time semi-permanent work permits to work in the War Industries.  These were the people around whom El Gringo Viejo grew up.

     This story is cogent:   One night the deputy sheriff had caught a Mexican walking back from one farm to another, possibly having visited a family member or a love-interest over by the Schroeder's place.   Because of the noise,  my father and mother went out, with me holding onto her skirt, into the darkness with only a large, bulky kerosene lantern to guide us.  We found the noise and the calling out, and the issue, there by a tertiary canal that ran along the edge of our property.
    The Deputy-Sheriff apologised for the disorder and while somewhat forcibly detaining the Mexican, he asked, "I caught this guy coming along the canal right-of-way.  There was a burglary over in mid-town McAllen, and so we were looking for somebody that might be suspicious."
    My father laughed and said, "That fellow is no burglar.  He's a wetback.  He's been coming up here for years, back and forth.  He works for me right now, I speak for him.  He's worked for Alpers and Niece and even Schroeder.  Felipe is no burglar.   He is a wetback.  A good man."
     The deputy immediately released the man, although he did admonish him, saying, "Next time just name your Gringos."
    And that is the way it was on the near-border farms in 1950, north of McAllen, Texas. 

     (4)    People of the Wave:   These are the people who came during the period from 1911 through 1930....a double whammy period of military and social instability and warfare.   The Revolucion de 1910 - 1917 and the Cristero War from 1923 to 1928 produced a total of almost 600,000 dead in combat or collateral, and 1,000,000 people in a milling horde of refugees.  Large numbers of those people who left Mexico came into the Republic of Texas during those days.  There were also many Border depredations in those years, frequently blamed on some ephemeral "Pancho Villa" but more commonly military regulars and irregulars and bandits supported by communists (Workers of the World and Socialist International) in the persons of Venustiano Carranza (briefly president at the end of the Revolucion) and Gen. Alvaro Obregon, his successor ...both commies, anti-Americans, endorsed by Woodrow Wilson as ''progressives"....both assassinated for various reasons good and bad.
     The common folk....poor, middle class, and wealthy....came into Texas and were accommodated to better and lesser degree.  Their work ethic, and the fact that most of the adults had a pretty darned good third grade or sixth grade education caused them to fit the round peg to the square hole fairly well.  Without welfare of any kind, they developed a sociological set of bunny trails, social accommodations, employment, and comfortability.  They were generally allowed entry into the United States due to the anarchy in Mexico and were permitted to stay so long as they maintained a clean social history.
School attendance and steady even if intermittent employment or the establishment of any business small or large usually guaranteed  a legal resident alien card to be renewed annually at the Post Office.
     World War II was the leveller.  The combat and overall service characteristic of the Latino of these days...whether long-term Americanoid or one of the recent arrivals and their first generation of babies....had a stunning performance in the War against the Axis Powers.   So these groups pretty much blended into the marble cake.   This is a complicated marble cake, made up of large numbers of gente mestiza and white Mexicans...and a few Spaniards  and Lebanese/Syrian/Jordanian Spanish-speaking whites who were/are also Christians....who seemed to trickle in during the Revolucion all the way through the Depression.

      (5)    The post-Amnesty group:   In 1986 - 1987, we had the Amnesty enacted by Congress and signed, lamentably, into law by Ronald Reagan.   Because of the sluffy wording in the law (intentional ?) that amnesty pretty much allowed that  anyone who was the third cousin of the grandmother of the mistress of the grandfather of the aunt of his brother-in-law was to be given a permission to "join the family" in America.  This was the worst of the worst of the gravy-train people.  Lazy, stupid, mean, and criminal....perhaps thirty per cent.   This is not so much for the ones who qualified for amnesty, but the ones who rode the horse that that amnesty saddled for them.   From that time on, there began the gradual deterioration of the quality of life in idyllic places like McAllen, Texas.   Just when the "Great Society" vote-buying scheme was put into place with the "War on Poverty" dreamed up by a murderous, perverted dolt by the name of Lyndon Baines Johnson, is where the quality of life began a steady downward helix into the Hell that we face now.   It is much worse than where I live in Mexico.
     Those of us who are among The Ancient Ones  can tell the difference of these gradations of folks.   Among the differences is the wholesale notion they have that everyone in Hidalgo County uses food stamps to buy their Cheetos and Red Soda.   They constitute about 30 per cent of the population of Hidalgo County and significant...large...portions of El Paso, Webb, Bexar, Dallas, Harris, and various other  counties in Texas.  They live by tricking the system and have become expert in developing Section 8, AFDC, Lone Star Card, and other qualifications from two or more "abandoned wives with children".   Lamentably, and perhaps this makes El Gringo some type of racist, most of these people are primarily white to essentially totally white. 

(6)     The Colonial and pre-Republic of Texas Group:   These are people who had ancestry who went into the abyss of Coahuila in the middle of the 1500s.  Many had large tracts, many had small tracts.  Many had title, as second or third pretender, all had multiple talents, as required to join any colonisation caravan.  In the mid-1700s more of the same, with a larger sprinkling of Canary and Azorean hidalgos (sequential pretenders to lower-level property and title rights....low to medium blue-bloods, in other words),,,,came into this area.   These people would join with the others who came in during the 1500s in Holy Matrimony and in other ways to produce the people of this area that the American military encountered during their advance to Monterrey in the Mexican - American War.
     These people were primordially Christians...more Catholic than the Pope.  They had no imagination whatsoever.  The Angloid group who came in during and after the War with Mexico to that Borderland known as the Rio Grande or Rio Bravo in Mexico....were very surprise, even stunned, at these people who were, even in appearance, very similar to the upper elements of the Angloid group.  The Colonials made up for their lack of imagination with a very advanced intelligence.  Something of a contradiction....but a condition that makes for a very, very conservative cultural cohort in the population.
     As an aside, my father's cavalry squadron would always look forward to riding River Patrol back in the late 1920s and early 1930s.  Why?  Because the people of those ancient homesteads always welcomed them with gratitude as the peace-keepers.  These "colonials" would prepare special Mexican-Spanish foods to serve and trade for oysters and Gulf Trout filets that came up from Brownsville with the quarter-master's unit.  The soldiers would, under full escort, allow the children to "ride'' the less skittish warhorses, and with the permission of the commander, they would put on shows of equestrian ability to the delight of the country folk who lived along the Rio Grande and felt strongly that they, too, were Americans.....Gringos of a same and separate sort....but Americans, Texans of the most primordial sense.   (Ist Cavalry (mounted), 12th Regiment, HQ Squadron)
     These people, the Colonial and Pre-Republican Texian folks are 15/16ths white up to 16/16ths Caucasian.

 to the Rocks

     (7)    The next grouping is the  positive and negative melding of all of the above.  It is weakened by the new arrivals now, when before it was strengthened.  That is because the vast majority of the earlier Latinos had already demonstrated compliance with reality.  They had shown a willingness to be successfully self-provident.
     This is where the war is.  In the bulk of Texas, the Latin cohort to the Universe of population in the Republic of Texas is highly dispersed. The greatest concentration of those who willingly succumb...volunteer for the subjugation of ones own honour,  pride,  and self-respect for a Lone Star Card is found right along the border.   While there are other pockets...in the inner city....and in other areas of the Republic, almost 50 per cent of the Lone Star Card holders and AFDC Professionals, are along the first two tiers of Counties from the Rio Grande.  The remainder of the Latin cohort, perhaps 70 per cent is in a purgatorial  float....and those provide most of the votes.  About 80 per cent of those folks  are  disposed to consider and vote by their conservative instincts. 
    Among the intermarried, almost all are Elephants.  There are Texas liberals among them...avant garde types....but most are centre-right to hard right people.  They are not seen on the network news hours or Sixty Minutes or on The Vew.   The are working.  They are welding pipe of 72 inches that require hermetic seal.  They are doing old Mrs. Jackson's blue hair for the wedding to-morrow night...and letting the girl with only 3 months of training,  on real live cranky old Jewish-lady who is going to her grandson's Bar Mitzvah,  stomach turning....fingers crossed.
       They are teachers,  standing in front of classes of profane, procto-urologically obsessed 18 year-old sophomores whose every third word is something that 40 years ago would have resulted in 3o days in jail.
   They are the dental assistants and dentists, the pharmacists, the MacDonald's night manager, the hotelier and restaurateur  with his CIA and twenty year's experience and 3,000,000 American dollars on the line opening his restaurant....in other words...Texians.   They tend to want to vote Republican but they do not like in the least being lumped into the group "Hispanic" like a dog-breed.
     And, excuse me, let me wave:  there goes my children's first cousin...in his Department of Public Safety Cruiser....chasing down another 1st level offender.
