Migrants Attack 60 Minutes Crew In Sweden

_____________________

____________________

     Various filtering and censoring agencies and interests are chasing these "prejudicial" articles that seem to "defame" the "refugees" who are pouring into all places European in order to prohibit their airing to the general population of interested viewers.

     People who object to the inundation of hostile, self-important, and parasitical masses of people who regard the native European population as infidels and, literally, lower than swine in the pecking order of Islamic cultural organisation are said to be....Neo-nazis, right-wing negativist, nativist bigots, or at best, inhospitable.

     This particular film is one of the more tame that could be shown by the Australian "60 Minutes" crew who had arrived in Europe to do a piece "sympathetic" to the "migrants".

     We have been a bit under the weather, and therefore our regular diet of AirWick cocktails and NoDoze tablets, spiced with spoiled Tabasco Sauce has been avoided for a couple of weeks.   As we return to something remotely associated with normal, and with our vitriolmetre now entering the "Danger -Danger" zone, we feel better prepared to confront the WindMills.

      We have been, oddly, busy at our little life-project,  for the past few weeks.  Some rare thing, known as steady flow of clients and guests who actually pay for the honour of staying a mud-hut in the middle of Nowhere, Mexico.....has been occupying much of our time.   It has been a pleasant interlude, with people who are interesting, complex, appreciative, and just generally pleasant to have around.   But we move on to the matters at hand, while first reassuring the OROG community that there will be commentary about historical and cultural points in the coming days, pertaining to Mexico, Texas, and the United States.

TRUMP AND THE TRUMPSTER DUMPSTERS:

     We simply stopped listening.  On overnight radio, on daytime talk, on any forum....we simply stopped listening.  "Thanks for calling in.  Tell us why you are supporting Donald."

     "Trump is the only one who always tells it like it is.   He says the things that I believe in.   All the other ones are part of the establishment conspiracy and they're trying to get to us and keep us down while they live it up in Washington.   They're all alike, and they don't have to live like we do....they don't pay taxes and they hang around with the millionaires and billionaires all the time.   Trump knows what it's like and he's got money so he doesn't have to take a bunch of back-door deals all the time like all the rest are doing all the time."

     "Well, Maggie, your points are well taken.   Can you tell me if there is any one point that really inspires your loyalty to Mr. Trump?"

     "Sure, he's gonna build a wall that makes everyone go back.  And then he's gonna make all the Muslims go away and stop having to give money to the Jews for building their wall and make the Chinese pay to sell their stuff and the Mexicans."

     "Maggie, can you tell me how building a wall is going to force Mexicans to go back to Mexico?"

      "That's the point.   You don't know how, but Mr. Trump does.  And he'll make the Mexican Government pay for building the wall.   Yessir, he knows how to deal with those people."

     "Maggie, it hurts me to have to tell you, but such talk is something one might find in an insane asylum.   Besides the hundreds of lawsuits from pseudo-environmentalist saboteurs and other obstacles there would be no way to complete the envisioned "fence" in twenty years, and absolutely no chance for any Mexican entity, public or private, to pay for said wall.   Also, are you aware that over one million Mexicans come into the United States every day and leave every day?  Are you aware that Canada and Mexico are commonly found in the top three trading partners of the United States?"

     "That's what I'm talking about.  Lying Ted! Lying Ted! All that talk is lies.   Mexico can't produce anything.  They have no industry.   Trump will make them pay.   Besides, Cruz was a Mexican before he became a Canadian.  And now he says he's a Texan.....Lyin' Ted!!!  Lyin' Ted!!!"

     "Well, okay Maggie.   We appreciate your call.  We're up on a hard break and need to move on.  Have a nice morning."

AND SO We have the ideal respondent.   Most Trumpsters attribute things unsaid or only inferred into their understanding of what Trump says and believes.   They, being generally imprecise thinkers and incapable of critical thought, impute what they think Trump is saying into a certain belief that Trump is thinking and agreeing with the person who is listening to the imprecise bilge.  It is the fulfillment of the ancient adage from the mid-way, "There's a sucker born every minute!!"

     STEP RIGHT UP....THERE'S A FRONTIER WALL IN YOUR FUTURE AND IT'S ALL FREE!!!    AND IF YOU GIVE ME A QUARTER, I'LL THROW IN ANOTHER FENCE COMPLETELY FREEEEE!!!!   JUST SEND $9.12 FOR SHIPPING, HANDLING, PRODUCT MANUFACTURING, AND OPTIONAL WARRANTY EXTENSION, WHICH IS ONLY $22.37.....STEP RIGHT UP!!!! STEP RIGHT UP....DON'T BE LEFT OUT!!!!

And there we have the Trump phenomena.  A show put on by white-trash for those who are slow of wit and who have no grasp of cultural matters, history, or reasonable strategy in terms of dealing with the impending disasters the secular humanist and progressive movement have given us.

ISLAMOFASCISM: 

      We are living in these moments the results of an immigration policy that was purposefully designed by various groups.....sometimes not even in concert one with the other....to invade, saturate, degrade, and then collapse the culture and traditions of both eastern and western Europe.   From the mass of rotted cultures and societies, freed from religious and other moral constraints, an even worse evil will rise and impose its will upon a feckless, sniveling hordes of cowards and welfare dependent "brave new world citizens", who at least know how many metres there are in three metric months.  

     The "Euros", proud of the freedom from such restraints as false gods and religions, knowing well the guiding anthem of the New World Order, IMAGINE,  and the release from the chains of fairy tales, and virgin birth, and Santa Clauses at every corner will be short shrift for the Islamofascists and their beheading scourge they are planning even as I write.

     The reasonable people who have their metres and dole and three years paternity/maternity leave with "free" nanny, and labour unions for the unemployed will scoff when warned one last time before the scimitars fall.

     Ask not for whom the scimitar clangs, for it clangs for thee......

BARRY THE ISLAMOMARXIST:

     Barry Soetoro, who has had many passports and identities during the last few years, has certainly had reason to be confused.   He is not very smart, but he has served as a wonderful petri-dish for Valerie Jarrett and the Bill Ayres - Annenberg Foundation crowd.   He was the Manchurian Candidate who did not need programming.  Somehow he could do the impossible and turn into a Pavlov's dog that could bark in Bolshevik...."From each according to his ability and to each according to his need...."  and then at the call of the mullah rush to grovel on the floor of the mosque to worship a god that had been ill defined from his original understanding.
     How can a true marxists worship any kind of god?   How can a person who believes in a supreme cosmic force of any kind believe in Bolshevik socialism which requires adherents to be atheists?    Ladies and Gentlemen, we give you Barry....the chameleon.....voila!    Thank you Valerie for training this little puppet so well.

___________________

AND NOW for FEELINGS:

     We must stop "feeling" this way or that.   We, as a culture, as critical thinkers. must ask our fellows, friends, and families not to feel that such and such would be nice or kind or un-threatening.   We are watching Europe fundamentally change from a declined civilisation to a complete quagmire of social democratic drabness and nothingness.   It cannot and wills not to defend itself, but nay....further conduct the agents of its own demise....pointing to the heavens and declaring that it is somehow the European destiny to induct millions upon millions of slothful, dirty, sullen, murderous, almost sub-human parasites into their midst.   While there their dark hatred for anything non-Muslim will percolate, distill, and refine into the poisons and explosives that will blow the guts out of every 7 year old granddaughter, the brains from the head of every secretary and airliner pilot, and decapitate the boy on the soccer field....over and over and over again until there is nothing left.

     The Exchequer will be empty....the sewer plants will be bubbling stench.  A piece of celery will sell for billions of Euros....and the beheadings will be nearly outpaced by new forms of plague....free medical will be worth the price, but it will have been collapsed by the Muslim proclivity to have six children by four wives, while the Euros had none because it was inconvenient and abortions were free.....because the government paid for them.

The clanging of the scimitar can be heard more clearly now.

Dolts and Dolts who vote for Dolts - A Ranking, un-named OROG Cries out against the ill-winds of the wilderness - El Gringo Viejo Tries to Respond

_____________________

     Why can this fool not say what lies Ted has espoused?  He has to stop this insipid outright lying about Ted Cruz.  It is infuriating to say the least.  The only lies are Trump's.

      “Lying Ted”… give us a break.  We need facts if that is true.  Saying it doesn’t make it so.  And why, for the life of us, does Ted not address this?

       Is it simply possible that Trump is trying to draw Ted in and Ted is not having any of it?  It is something of a corner that Trump has put him in.  That being because there are so many Dolts who don’t know any better.  Many of us see through it, but not enough I fear.  Close but no cigar.

       We will more than likely be saddled with this pathetic blowhard for President.  Sad, sad, sad.

 Well stated:   The Lamentation of The Reasonable Man.   But, if You, my son, can keep your head when those about you are losing theirs.....a wise saying by a wise man from another, but pertinent, time......then we can move along to some form of victory  in this matter.

     The contorted, vicious-looking facial expressions that Trump makes while he is shrieking and growling, "Lying Ted!!!  Lying Ted!!!" look truly diabolical.  His is the speech and posture of all white-trash.  One can find it at labour-union rallies, at KKK Confabs, most Soros-funded women's, minorities, and permanently-offended groups such as Occupy Wall Street and other organisations of ACORN ancestry.     His posture and disposition to aggressive overstatement are signals that a somewhat deranged demagogue is at the lectern.

     As Trump stutters and stammers, almost always returning immediately to repeat repeatedly something that he has probably repeated seconds before, he seems to bask in the absurdity of Dolts roaring their approval for the most outlandish accusations, charges, and basal insults that are never really true.  We bring to mind Trump's decision to brand Dr. Ben Carson as a ''pathological".  Trump went about on that particular occasion to fold in the good probability that Dr. Carson also had something that might be like pedophelia since a lot of "those people" are pathological.

     Oddly, Dr. Carson who is necessarily lumped into the group known as "most intelligent" fell for the notion that Ted Cruz engineered  Carson's Iowa primary loss.   Trump trumpeted this erroneous message, asserting that Cruz lied!  Cruz lied!!!  Dr. Carson then decided, in apparent disregard for his own high-level intellectual ability, to endorse Trump as his choice for the Republican presidential nomination.   Strange.

      Trump has repeatedly stated that "Bush Lied!!! Bush Lied" about the WMD - Iraz issue.  A few short days ago, an Obsolete Media reporter called Trump out concerning the issue of "Bush's Lie" .....at which time Trump did one of his famous Trumpisms and declared flatly that he had never said such a thing.  When shown a video of himself stating flatly that "Bush Lied"  and "Bush and Chaney Lied" he stuttered and stammered his way to the "hard break" by saying things that could only be interpreted by a Trump supporter.
     Trump has also said repeatedly that he opposed the invasion and take-out of Saddam Hussein's Iraq, "from the beginning".   Of course, this overlooks his numerous and frequent endorsements of the invasion at the beginning of the operation.   When called down concerning this contradiction, he juts his jaw out like the wooden Pinocchio that he is and quadruple-doubles down by insisting that videos proving his support for the Iraq  War were simply "lies". It speaks of insanity, profound hubris, and a sense of disconnect from the "little people" that proves solidly that the individual is certainly not qualified to lead a nation full of people for whom he has no respect at all.   In that sense he is the yin and (Sir Edmiund) Hillary in the yan.

     Finally to answer the reasonable lamentation by the OROG crying forth to whomsoever will listen out in the Wilderness,   my thinking is that Ted and Co. are trying to not touch the tar-baby.   A severe thrashing in to-morrow's primaries might help.   A failure to obtain a majority of delegate votes in the primary episode leading up to the Cleveland confab would be humiliating.  An announcement by Marco Rubio that he is leaving his delegates at liberty and recommends their alignment with Ted Cruz would have a tectonic impact, in my opinion. 
     It would save Ted and Co. from having to soil their hands by trying to logic with people stupid enough to fall for slogans like "Hope and Change" and "Make American Great Again".

An Old Man calling in the Wilderness - the hollow victory of secular humanism

_____________________

To: Senators Patty Murray and Maria Cantwell

Washington, DC , 20510 

Senators: 

I have tried to live by the rules my entire life. My father was a Command Sergeant Major, U.S. Army, who died of combat related stresses shortly after his retirement. It was he who instilled in me those virtues he felt important - honesty, duty, patriotism and obeying the laws of God and of our various governments. I have served my country, paid my taxes, worked hard, volunteered and donated my fair share of money, time and artifacts. 

Today, as I approach my 79th birthday, I am heart-broken when I look at my country and my government. I shall only point out a very few things abysmally wrong which you can multiply by a thousand fold. I have calculated that all the money I have paid in income taxes my entire life cannot even keep the Senate barbershop open for one year! Only Heaven and a few tight-lipped actuarial types know what the Senate dining room costs the taxpayers.

So please, enjoy your haircuts and meals on us. 

Last year, the president spent an estimated $1.4 billion on himself and his family. The vice president spends $ millions on hotels. They have had 8 vacations so far this year! And our House of Representatives and Senate have become America's answer to the Saudi royal family. You have become the "perfumed princes and princesses" of our country. 

In the middle of the night, you voted in the Affordable Health Care Act, a.k.a. "Obamacare," a bill which no more than a handful of senators or representatives read more than several paragraphs, crammed it down our throats, and then promptly exempted yourselves from it substituting your own taxpayer-subsidized golden health care insurance. 

You live exceedingly well, eat and drink as well as the "one percenters," consistently vote yourselves perks and pay raises while making 3.5 times the average U.S. individual income, and give up nothing while you (as well as the president and veep) ask us to sacrifice due to sequestration (for which, of course, you plan to blame the Republicans, anyway). 

You understand very well the only two rules you need to know - (1) How to get elected, and (2) How to get re-elected. And you do this with the aid of an eagerly willing and partisan press, speeches permeated with a certain economy of truth, and by buying the votes of the greedy, the ill-informed and under-educated citizens (and non-citizens, too, many of whom do vote ) who are looking for a handout rather than a job. Your so-called "safety net" has become a hammock for the lazy. And, what is it now, about 49 or 50 million on food stamps - pretty much all Democrat voters - and the program is absolutely rife with fraud and absolutely no congressional oversight? 

I would offer that you are not entirely to blame. What changed you is the seductive environment of power in which you have immersed yourselves. It is the nature of both houses of Congress which requires you to subordinate your virtue in order to get anything done until you have achieved a leadership role. To paraphrase President Reagan, it appears that the second oldest profession (politics), bears a remarkably strong resemblance to the oldest. 

As the hirsute first Baron John Emerich Edward Dalberg Acton (1834 - 1902), English historian and moralist, so aptly and accurately stated, "Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men." I'm only guessing that this applies to the female sex as well. Tell me, is there a more corrupt entity in this country than Congress? 

While we middle class people continue to struggle, our government becomes less and less transparent, more and more bureaucratic, and ever so much more dictatorial, using Czars and Secretaries to tell us (just to mention a very few) what kind of light bulbs we must purchase, how much soda or hamburgers we can eat, what cars we can drive, gasoline to use, and what health care we must buy. Countless thousands of pages of regulations strangle our businesses costing the consumer more and more every day. 

As I face my final year, or so, with cancer, my president and my government tell me "You'll just have to take a pill," while you, Senator, your colleagues, the president, and other exulted government officials and their families will get the best possible healthcare on our tax dollars until you are called home by your Creator while also enjoying a retirement beyond my wildest dreams, which of course, you voted for yourselves and we pay for. 

The chances of you reading this letter are practically zero as your staff will not pass it on, but with a little luck, a form letter response might be generated by them with an auto signature applied, hoping we will believe that you, our senator or representative, has heard us and actually cares.

This letter will, however, go on line where many others will have the chance to read one person's opinion, rightly or wrongly, about this government, its administration and its senators and representatives. 

I only hope that occasionally you might quietly thank the taxpayer for all the generous entitlements which you have voted yourselves, for which, by law, we must pay, unless, of course, it just goes on the $19 trillion national debt for which your children and ours, and your grandchildren and ours, ad infinitum, must eventually try to pick up the tab. 

My final thoughts are that it must take a person who has either lost his or her soul, or conscience, or both, to seek re-election and continue to destroy the country that I deeply love. You have put it so far in debt that we will never pay it off while your lot improves by the minute, because of your power. 

For you, Senator, will never stand up to the rascals in your House who constantly deceive the American people. And that, my dear Senator, is how power has corrupted you and the entire Congress. The only answer to clean up this cesspool is term limits. This, of course, will kill the goose that lays your golden eggs. 

And woe be to him (or her) who would dare to bring it up. 

Sincerely, 

Bill Schooner

A Conundrum, two choices between the lesser of two evils, and The Virtuous walked into a bar one time....

__________________

We have a conundrum in that we have a choice between the lesser of two evils vs. the virtuous.

It is not the “Art of the Deal” that will be our undoing but the art of the fox.  Trump is not unlike Guido da Montefeltro’s prowess in Dante’s Inferno where he professed the “art of the fox”.  As a Ghibelline general, his mastery of the “art of the fox” made him successful in his scams whereby he was never called to account.  Later in his life he disguised himself as a Franciscan Monk hoping to fool God to get to Paradise.  His Machiavellian persona did not fool God!  In Inferno Guido gets his just reward.  Cosmic justice prevails as it will with the “Art of the Deal” maker Donald Trump (hopefully it will not prevail too late).

And as for the Ohio Machiavellian, he is simply a selfish little man.  He holds himself above the fray insinuating he is altruistic and will save the country.  His disguise is also thin.  He couldn’t even admit to Hannity that his plan was to win the impossible, that he could not say he is looking to throw the GOP nomination into a contested convention when in reality that is all he can do.  That at the cost of all the people of America.  If he had the courage to do what is right and just he would get behind either of the other two remaining candidates.  I hold my nose it it is Trump but I detest Kasich.  Let us pray for cosmic justice once again.

The only true patriot and virtuous among them is Ted Cruz, who by all fairness should prevail but for the insidious art of the foxes.
