Our newest addition grows up and blossoms - Texas Wins.

This is our Grand-Niece at three years of age.  She has blossomed under the tutelage, care, and eveloping affection of older brothers, a father who is well-centred and dedicated and a mother who must, apparently, never tire. She is something of a saint, martyr, and good-for-all things person.

My wife and daughter are very similar.  The setting is somewhere in extreme Central Texas.   We felt that all OROGs should be kept up to date about.

All of our children and grandchildren, nephews, nieces, and grand-nephews/nieces are each so intelligent and accomplished and alive....with un-apologetic joie de vivre that it actually makes life a pleasant stop on the way between stations.

A Blast from the Past - Along with relevant commentary

  This is simply a reminder article coming from the last time there was a difficulty concerning another of our veterans trying to go into Mexico without actually finding out  true facts instead of listening to Uncle Joe and the guy down at the bar who went to boys' town 20 years ago.
    As in the case below - cited, the information being put out by media sources, including FOX News is not being presented in an entirely factual way.  There is considerable evidence that can leave the certain impression to any reasonable person that the story being  told by FOX News depends in large part on the willingness of the audience to believe the worst about the other people.
    It presumes the absolute innocence of a person because he is 'one of ours", and the absolute guilt of the "other guys" because they are them.  One must move carefully in these matters.
    Recently, in the Tijuana case, it has become clear that our guy decided to take on people in a holding tank.  That is not a good idea.  Holding tanks hold the worst of the worst.  He resisted efforts to be moved into a better place, essentially in the infirmary.   He wound up there anyway and then tried to go back to "settle the score" with swine and human debris.  Why?   It also allows blowhards to bloviate to the point that they make fools of themselves concerning the topic.   Please remember, O'Reilly had nothing to do with the release of the boy at Matamoros.  He had nothing to do with the release of various people who made similar errors and had little or no problem solving whatever problem they had while in Mexico.   These are people about whom no one ever heard because procedures were followed that alleviated almost all or all of the problems.
     Allow me to suggest, for instance, that the Marine presently in a preferred accommodation in the prison outside of Tecate, Baja California was restrained because he had tried to cut his neck with a light-bulb that he had broken.  Who made up that story?  Our Marine on live radio with his mom on the line, and I believe Glen Beck.   Our Marine has dismissed two legal teams that are highly recommended and at times work on a pro bono basis for incidental foreigners.  We follow these cases and at times have intervened on a pro bono basis ourselves.   It is incumbent for me to urge to all OROGs that cases like this sometimes do not neatly fit into the box of "dirty stinking greasers  mistreating nice American boy".   My job is to keep the OROG from walking into a door in the dark of the night.    One might note that even O'Rielly and Beck have backed off a bit on the story.   It is much deeper than it appears. 

    ________________________________________________

This is an article from last Winter, concerning another military retiree who was intent on driving from Texas to Costa Rica through Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, and finally to Costa Rica.   Our return in those days just before Christmas led us to begin our writings about our stay, and then about things that had been happening during my absence from Tierra Santa Americana:

Last week of Advent - 2013

     The cats helped a bit with the cold episodes.   They are adept at waiting for El Gringo Viejo to nod off on his slightly undersised recliner during the Houston Texans game, knowing that heat travels upward and is to be dedicated to the comfort of felines.   They, as I, have long ago determined that even if the temperature is comfortable, there should be no waste of warmth during the Winter.   As we are situated quite close to the Tropic of Cancer, the period near the Solstice on the Calendar tends to be very cool during the nighttime hours.  We were out about a month (we haven't counted up the days) and almost every night was in the 40s...ending up with Thursday's early morning reading being 35 degrees F.

     The last blast from the north came in just before and brought winds of 50 - 60 miles per hour sustained, and gusts up to 80 during the first moments of passage.   It is pleasant to report that throughout the area of our part of rural Mexico, there was not one power outage.  Excellent when it is considered that the sustained winds endured for a period of over 18 hours.

     We call attention to the fact that our little place is very rustic.   Some new readers might not want to dig through our 600 previous postings to read about the "mud hut", or to visit  our webpage (linked on this page), but even with the cold nights and slightly coolish days, the temperature inside stayed a constant 72 degress....a tribute to the really old fashioned adobe and plaster approach to forming the lobster shell of a house.

     It is also of note that the "situation" has improved to the point that people are actually speaking confidently that a reasonable semblance of the old imperfect order has seemed to return.   On our return yesterday, the highways were super over-saturated.   Extremely heavy traffic accompanied this traveller for the entirety of the 239 mile route that was followed this time.  Traffic coming, and going.  Busses heading south must have numbered 200 common carriers of the 1st class and deluxe variety.   Thousands of motorcars, 90 percent of which were families returning from buying expeditions in the Commerce Cathedrals (shopping malls) in McAllen and other places in the Lower Rio Grande Valley.   Another number were those Mexicans who live in the United States legally and make the Christmas trek in SUVs and station waggons, with and without trailers, loaded up like some kind of adjunct delivery service for Santa Claus.

     This whole phenomena is a result of the perceived improvement in the  security situation.   While the chance of being involved, in actuarial terms, in some kind of crossfire or other related event was always very low in real terms, it is now perceptually, truly, obviously, and undeniably very, very diminished.   There is the apparent perception and understanding as well that the new administration is not going to move in the direction of "adapting to a reasonable alternative"(benign neglect of the cartels).   We are hopeful that what is essentially an imperfect victory will not be squandered by yielding to the notion that  sociological rot will not finally overtake an entire huge nation if left unchecked.

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

AN IRRITATION:

     It disappoints, as always, when FOX News decides to join into and reinforce the popular perception created by the leftist press about the situation in Mexico.   The whole picture is not that much different than here in the United States.   In many ways, quite frankly, things are better South of the Border.   So when O'Reilly, or the voices on The Five, and others on FOX News were admonishing that Mexican prisons are Hell Holes where the cartels run the show, and that especially Americans are targeted by the criminal and general population of Mexico, and that everything is corrupt.....it brings to mind motes and beams and eyes, kettles, pots, and black.   While O'Reilly, for instance, was warning that if "President Nieto" did not release Corporal Hammer, that Mr. O'Reilly would "take care of Mexico's tourism industry".   Mr. O'Reilly is such an expert on matters Mexican, that he is unaware that it is President Pen~a....not Nieto.   The paternal surname immediately follows the given name(s).

     The Hammer case was already essentially resolved.   The Mexican Secretary of the Navy had declared the issue to have been warrantless and that no crime had been committed because the person involved had voluntarily revealed the shotgun in question and requested permitting for said instrument.  The telephone calls received by the family were from prisoners and/or their family members who commonly attempt to extort money from family members of other prisoners, especially the newly arrived.   American prison gangs do the same thing.

     The fear held by this observer was that what ground had been covered might possibly have to be re-ploughed because Mexican arrogance is similar to American arrogance.   If they are pushed, they tend to push back, sometimes to their own detriment.  O'Reilly fell into this category in a way.

      Many things about this case that were commonly known in Mexico were not reported.   The most vigorous operator in this matter had been the the Tamaulipas State Chamber of Commerce.   The final attorney in Mexico City had served well.   The usually useless Human Rights Commission (totally pinko) served well.   Various State and local elected officials had also been pointing out behind the scenes that the Secretary of the Navy's position was totally accurate.  The federal customs and immigration official had overreacted to some personal affront, and "behaved stupidly" in the words of a great American leader.   It was all but unreported that  Corporal Hammer's friend was not detained during this same incident.   And, while even Laura Ingraham had to pile on, please be assured that of the 1,000 Americans behind bars presently in Mexico, somewhere between 950 to 1,000 are not the type of person with whom you would like your teenaged daughter to be spending time.  As well, of the 140 Americans killed in Mexico during the last year, O'Reilly and Laura and the rest of the choir seem to leave out that 130 or so were very, very probably involved in the drug trafficking business.   Here, there is something usually stated about fleas, dogs, and lieing down with, etc.

     It is my judgement that the greatest weight of the blame....at least 9o% of the fault in this issue....lies with the Mexican customs officer.   All he would have had to have done, at worst, is to have ordered the individual back to the American side.    There is some blame to be spread onto the American border agents who apparently told the boy that there would be no problems, just to declare the gun and get the permits.   The permits have to be obtained before going in.

      And while all this is going on, there is a 340,000 tonne elephant sitting there on the FOX News set, minding its own business.   "Don't go to Mexico, it's dangerous and corrupt, and they are always doing things all the time to everybody...especially Americans", they say.  While we have Benghazi unresolved....Fast and Furious left unresolved....20 dead children in Newtown, Connecticut....overwhelming corruption at all levels in the United States Government....Solyndra ignored....expropriation of General Motors and Chrysler....and some jackass from Chicago talking about reasonable new firearms legislation, like, you know, Chicago....where "One a Day" would be a substantial improvement.   Thank the Lord that Chicago has stringent firearms control.  That solved all the problems.

     Please allow us to include that during El Gringo Viejo's professional and business life, he conducted, permitted, licensed, escorted, guided, scouted, and otherwise attended to the issues of hunting game birds in Mexico involving hundreds upon hundreds of hunters, and thousands of shotguns, scores of thousands of importations of rounds of ammunition.   Never had one man detained.

Thanks for the opportunity to unload, perhaps inform to a level of greater understanding, and swim upstream.   These might be the last days for contrarians and other sorts of folks who have knowledge and opinion that is true but not part of the common understanding.

El Gringo Viejo

     (We urge that the OROG consider that nothing has been said or heard from the boy who was released from Matamoros detention.  One might ask why and think about it for a bit.  11 June 2014 EGV)

This is the true image of the 30% - And they are coming to get you

These nice fellows are part of those detained briefly before they can
be "repatriated" with relatives, legally or illegally in the United States.
where they can await their session with an immigration judge who will
probably grant a continuance while the tax-paid public defender asks for
times to prepare his case.  These nice boys are simply looking for a chance
take back just a tiny sliver of the American Apple Pie that the Gringos stole
 from them by war and corporate exploitation.    Please read on:





______________________________________________________

     These nice fellows (pictured above) are simply the people about whom people wrote accolades on the Statue of Liberty.   They are just like all of us.   Immigrants simply looking for a bit of opportunity.   They want to escape the hell-holes of overflowing toilets, rape, twelve-year old girls who are working on their second pregnancy, murder so common that the meat-wagons pick-up on a first-called, first-served basis. but never at night.   These are the nice boys who help the retired Chicago Police captain who had retired in Belize, finish his move to the Honduran Shangri La  Island of Rotan.  The boys from the mainland helped him, and during the party to celebrate the move's success that night, they shot the retired Captain full of holes, chopped up his body, threw it on the bars of the grill and ate a good portion of it while they smoked dope and drank beer until dawn.   Upon seeing what they had done, they stoked up the fire and warmed up some of the big pieces and ate them, before stealing the little yacht  and sailing it back to a hide-out on the Nicaraguan Coast where they had been terrorising the Moskito Indians and brutalising the female race of that tribe.

    Of course, do not worry.  Since the Moskitos were generally anti-Sandinista, and the Ortegas are "back in town" for a while, there is no attempt whatever to send in forces of order to protect the "Indigenous Peoples" that Rigoberta, the Left, the ignorant, and the ever-scheming communist movement love to talk about......unless they don't kiss Che's and Fidel's and St. Hammer's and St. Sickle's big-toe.

     When the ACLU-type public attorney manages to get these fellows out, they will laugh, hoot, giggle, and howl on their way to the nearest pick-up point where their appropriate gang contact will be waiting with a van.   In a week or two, this same group may be involved in a "turf-war" and killing each other over a few feet of asphalt.   Life's tough, and then you die.

     But in the meantime, transporting one 13 year old blond girl stolen in the United States and taken to Venezuela, can be sold to the Chinese businessman for around 100,000 USD, and the guy making the delivery will pick up 10% of the 10%, while the rest of the money will be deposited to a bank account in Caracas, thought  to be under the control of the successor to the Human Ape, Hugo Chavez....Yes, Virginia, that is what Hugo's "perpetual soldiers in loyalty" are calling the dead dicatator's rotted cadaver of a perverted slug.  At least the perpetual loyalty lasted until the new "popularly elected President" Maduro demanded that he be the Perpetual Democratic Ruler, (at least for a little while).

     And the reasonable person says, "Okay, Okay...Gringo Viejo, enough!  We are aware that you hate Mexicans and everything south of the Rio Grande." And I quickly cut off the attempt to use the counter argument of the stupid and the dull of wit.   To Wit:

    Mexico, Costa Rica, Panama, Colombia, and Chile are still very viable and salvageable.  Perhaps Peru and Argentina still might have a chance.   They are actually doing high-mediocre, in spite of themselves.  And, my experience with Mexicans is probably deeper and wider and more constant from birth to this late point in my life than even most Mexicans.  The same goes for the notion about my Americanism.   I wince every time that the term, '....after all, we are all immigrants'...because neither my wife nor I were derived from the body of immigrants.  We are, and forever shall be, both of us, descended here as colonials.   Most people, especially leftists, do not know the difference.  We do.   We hold nothing against immigrants, but we are not immigrants, we are colonials.

    Being of that stripe, we know the people who have come "after".  And once again, although some would like to think differently, the broad mass of Mexicans who came here during the disorders in Mexico from the Revolucion de 1910 - 1917 and the Guerra de Los Cristeros of the 1920s and the subsequent displacements were very much an overall benefit to the Republic of Texas and to the United States of America.

     After the establishment of the Great Society Programmes of the late 1960s and 1970s and all public assistance since, the leftist vote-buying, culture- debasing 'free money' and 'free food' and 'free housing' and 'free medical' programmes managed, just in a nick of time, to re-establish peonage and slavery to the Hacendado and the Massa.    Only this time it was not the "good or bad" Massa or the "good or bad" Hacendado, it was to Our Uncle who art in Washington, D.C.

    Please check the entry-before-last in this Blog. It is pointed out that about half of other 70% of those people coming over, mixed in with those pictured above, are possibly capable of becoming citizens of the United States in the traditional sense of self-sufficiency, moderation, community oriented.  The remainder are simply coming over because they were told by relatives and the "dog-whisperers" in the "immigration cloud" that the Gringos have to pay "immigrants" to eat.

     That is exactly what is happening.  It is by plan. It was engineered several months ago, and put into motion by the "Hate America First" crowd, and we had best not fall for the ruse, at our peril.

The Exodus

___________________________________________________


There are four things going on with the exodus of people from Central America to America:




 

     (1)   The people coming here are composed of younger people with or without an adult accompanying them.  These younger people are supposedly arriving in order to try to reunite with some relative already ensconced. legally or illegally,  in the United States.   Most of these people are coming from places with horrid, truly incomprehensible social disintegration problems.  Violence, continual brutality, abandonment, grinding true poverty of a nature that most Americans cannot possibly comprehend are the order of the day.  Honduras, Guatemala, and El Salvador are beautiful, geographically wealthy, agriculturally potent places.  Socialism and animalistic social degeneration have essentially brought them to the abyss of self-annihilation.



     (2)     The Administration has sent messages into the loose matrix of the illegal alien ether.  It is difficult to explain, but it is a fact that any small change in the official policy, written or otherwise, in the immigration enforcement practice at the border will affect the "supply line".  More intense enforcement leads to reduced attempts to enter, especially illegally. Less intense enforcement leads to rapidly building numbers of people heading north, especially from Central America. 
     About four months ago there was significant "understanding" being repeated, even on radio and television programmes about how children can join their parents, and even siblings can join up with someone who is already in the United States.   The American immigration authorities were said to be offering :"temporary entry permits" and then being allowed to continue to wherever said relative might be living.  The Immigration would even take the illegal alien to a bus station or airport where the illegal alien could buy a ticket to said destination.
     As this information began to gain traction in the "illegal alien universe" it soon was learned that these measures were actually in force....were true facts....thousands were being placed "in-country". The desperate, and the devious, and the oppressed, huddled masses came to the realisation that "the time is now".   And they came.




(3)     There are several levels of offensive going on with these measures.  Be aware that this is perhaps one of the few social engineering efforts that the anti-American Obama Plan for "Fundamental Transformation" that is working nearly perfectly for the ACORN Plan for America.  The Obama Socialised Medical Initiative is still working through the bloodstream of the nation, and may well die on the vine within a year or two.  Disruptions in the overall system, at best, will continue for three to five years of "withdrawal pains" even if the ridiculous programme can be repealed and rescinded.

This picture is a bit dated, from late last
year.  It is moving from Guatemala into
Ixtepec, Chiapas, and then eventurally
into Vera Cruz.  It is a daily train.  Of the
males you see, probably half are ex-cons
and any woman within their group is
either a slave or a gang moll.   

    But, if the anti-American Fundamental Transformation forces can cram in a few million somewhat legalised residents who have absolutely no idea what citizenship is or what responsibilities are required of a citizen in a Republic made of free, self-providing people, then the desired cheapening of the concept of America is will be accomplished.   The hope among the Fundamental Transformers is that there will several layers of intergenerational globbing on to some form of temporary residency.  That might mean, "I'm here with my mother, and she is still waiting for a hearing with the Immigration and Naturalisation people.  She has not been given a lawyer yet."   When does mom receive her hearing?  Perhaps two years from now.

     Then, the girls all know that the totally, 200% for-sure method to remain in the United States of America is to make it to the Charity mid-wife clinics or an emergency room or some similar place.  It does not matter if there is a husband or even a male.  Many of these babies "just happen".  But once that baby is here, and born here, and there is a document that says that the baby was born here, then the mother is instantly  "Legal", a legal resident alien.  Why?  Because she is the only known source of support for an American citizen.  She knows to go, because the "illegal alien universe" and its form of communication has informed her that this is the case to the place to obtain food stamps, section 8, Medicaid, WIC, Head Start pre-Registration, AFDC, and a myriad of other "free" money and services.  She will learn to produce one more American citizen every two to three years in order to amplify and extend the massive amount of public assistance she will receive, essentially without lifting a finger.

     This new procedure, being implemented at this time, extends the dynamic both ways...from birthing down...to children bringing in their parents, uncles, and siblings as the years go by, in fairly quick order.   That procedure is already being practiced in some offices of the Immigration and Naturalisation Service.

Valerie Jarrett Glows About Improving the Breeding Stock

(4)     Several things will suddenly begin to be pumped-out by the mainstream press.   There will be long, moaning renderings about how this is a human tragedy that "we" (America) have both caused and done nothing to prevent.  American companies keep these countries poor  (?) so as to have a source of cheap labour where they can send things to be assembled for one dollar/day labour charge.  The people are forced into prostitution and drug trafficking because there is nothing else to do.
     Another drum-beat will be, "We have to take care of them, because they don't have anyone back there to go to.  It is our humanitarian duty."   Religious spokespeople will repeat over and over again that the people hate America because America took everything and doesn't share.  Then the people come up and ask for a little crust of bread from the loaf that the Gringos stole, and the Gringos kick them in the teeth."   The case of "This Guilt Trip is Your Land, It's All the Republicans and Rich Peoples' Fault, This land was Stolen for you and me, not them"....will be drilled into the American public theatre of discussion.  The Obsolete Press is bound and determined to destroy America as we know it and mould it into a part of the Unicultural Socialist World.
     The productive and self-supporting and charity contributing American class will be vilified and mocked as it never has been during the next 18 - 24 months.  Every form of charlatan will use these people and the ones who came before and the ones who will soon come after as a stick to beat us about the head and ears for our iniquity.  It has all been done before, but this coming wave of guilt-tripping against the innocent will be the worst.


     One must understand that logic and law are not a defence in this matter.   We can remember that Elian Gonzalez had to be sent back to Cuba so as to be with his father.  Little matter that his mother had died trying to reach relatives in Florida so as to give her son a chance at the American experience.  But, Janet Reno and Bill/Hillary Clinton adamantly demanded and sent heavily automatic-rifle armed, battle-garbed agents into the house of the relatives of Elian Gonzalez and they extracted him by force.   Multi-billionaire, pro-communists with their own private Lear-type jet, flew Elian up to the Cuban mission in New York City to rejoin his father and then be flown to the Tropical Workers' Paradise where "he needed to be".   That was the ultra-leftist solution to the issue at the time.
    Now, the solution is to bring over the people who will be styled "hard-working, religious, and potential assets to the community", when such is not the case.  The vast majority of Cubans were, and in years past, the huge majority of Mexicans were.  But with the advent of the Great Society and the First Amnesty the positive Mexican contribution to our situation went from 90% to less than 50% in this writer's estimation.  The Mexican participation in the American demographic fabric of the 1950s and before is not what it became in the 1990s and up to this point.   The Republicans would be well advised to heed my often given admonition to not group all "Hispanics" into the same cluster.  The great majority of "pre-1960" people of Spanish and Mexican ancestry in Texas, for instance, have very similar political-demographic consonance with what is styled "the general demographic".
     The Republican effort to do anything in "Immigration Reform" is insane.  The notion that another wave of people disposed to think that "work" is having to go down to the Human Resources Department to up-date their Public Assistance Record with another miracle baby delivery as work.

"To us, the Maya People
They show us from
our childhood, that there is never
any need to take more that that
which is needed to live..."
Rigoberta Menchu'

    El Gringo Viejo will not shrink from his condemnation of the practice of the use of the word "Hispanic" as some sort of accurate identifier.  He will also not back down one inch from the idea that if we allow these people coming over now to remain, they will be facing the same horrors in Houston and Peoria and  Las Vegas and Kansas City that they thought they were escaping when they left Honduras and Guatemala.  They are bringing it with them.

     The group that is coming right now, as best as this writer can tell, is about 35% addled, distressed, pitiable casualties of the depredations of gangs such as the MaraSalvatrucha 13.  Others  are victims of the depredations of pseudo-communist guerrillas and criminal gangs of different origins.  The American press generally refers to any such violence against the "marginal class" is done by "right-wing death squads" or the "troops of the Dictator So and so".   That, of course, is complements of Rigoberta Menchu Tum....another of the people who invent stories, are caught at the invention, and then make a life based on the lie, while never apologising for the fact that his/her fame was derived from a lie that fed into the Socialist International construct conveniently.   The quote, above included, is a convenient fit with the marxist adage, "Unto each according to his need, and from each according to his ability".
     Another 35% could possibly be integrated into some reasonable form of Americanism.  Perhaps, even as an arriving immigrant, and probably within three or four generations.   Much would depend upon how much we could cut back or abolish the system of public assistance as it exists now.
     The other 30% would be, almost certainly, members or potential new members of gangs of the most bloodthirsty, nihilistic, destructive sort imaginable.  They are already here.  They are already involved in extortion, shakedowns, murder, murder-for-hire, racketeering, armed robbery, car-jacking, kidnapping for ransom, gang rape, kidnapping for female white-slavery, arson for fun, arson for insurance split, looting, and generally terrorising the "home-group".   They seek out immigrants of their own "home-group", legal and otherwise, and strive, usually successfully, to fold them back into the horrors they tried to leave when they came North.   Gang-recruiting is normally done at the main gates of even primary school every late August at schools in the Central American parts of middle-sized and large cities.
     These "hands" that reach out to enslave and terrorise the people from the "old country" have always been part of the American immigration story.  The Italians were plagued, and still are in many ways, with the Sicilian Cosa Nostra.   The Jews have had those who practiced fraud and jewellery  fencing of the highest and most costly and valuable types of stones and bullions.   The Chinese had their Shanghai connection, and the Anglo/Scots-Irish group in the South had even the Klan moving in and out of illegal racketeering and organised criminal activity.    Along with the Klan was the shadowy Knights of the Golden Circle, with which the James people in Missouri were affiliated.
    So, to say that this 30 per cent anthropologically degenerative melt-down group is "racism"  or 'anti-immigrant" would prove that the "sayer" is a braying, drunken jackass without intellectual portfolio.  It is a matter of normal course for a recently settled group, especially.  The problem with the Central Americans is the utter unimaginable brutality and the fact that it never seems to improve.  It has only become worse in my life-time, even without the assistance of translocation.  With the migration of many to Texas and the United States during the El Salvador communist inspired civil war of the 1980s and 1990s, their gangs did come with them.   Guatemalan and Honduran gangs are present and functioning now throughout the United States.

We hope this porridge of opinion, facts, and deductions assist the observer of to-day's events on the border and elsewhere.  For those who are not OROGs (Order of the Readers of the Old Gringo) please be aware that our family is interethnic, and that my wife's family has roots into Texas dating into the 1750s on one side and into the 1560s on  the other side.  El Gringo Viejo's family has been active in business and travel in Mexico since the 1880s.  We own a home in Mexico, and we are multigenerational Texans and Americans.  By my wife's side, my granddaughter's are 14th generation Texian; by mine, only 7th.   We are registered Republicans, conservatives, and are normally found in Anglican or Roman Churches, when El Gringo Viejo isn't too grumpy with either or both.
El Gringo Viejo

Back in the Saddle -

     We have just returned from Extreme Central Texas.....there are various epicentres actually....a quiet day on the road, by and large.   There was a busy mixed with lazy period of four days or so, looking after very resourceful young women who truly appreciate their grandmother's visits.  Their grandfather is a bit of a lesser treat....but he is not in a popularity contest.


     The girls continue to advance, ahead of themselves, in academics, athletic ability, and the arts.  They complete their move from the old fancy new house to the new fancy new house.   The change was from a somewhat exclusive and self-regulated development with a home-owners' association convention that was very complex, to a more exclusive development.   In the new place, the Conventions are deeper, wider, and  more imposing.  The development is like Stepford Wives  Chug-a-lug Steroids - The Sequel.


     All OROGs must understand that life, the way of living, the style and purpose, the nature of the people....is summarily perfect, or a little better.   One of the things that makes it even better is that the inhabitants of the City are at once as simple as rural rustics, uniformly of an intelligence level of a university professor, and quite sophisticated, urbane, even as they  maintain the true humble, generous, and almost childish friendliness common to Texans and Southerners.   And while the term ''college professor'' is used, these people are, in their great majority, decidedly ultra-conservatives, very dedicated to the precepts of common law, the Constitution, natural law, and local control.
     As Austin, Texas is a Mecca for the oh-so sophisticated leftist, Progressive, and Che' set,  where the LGBTSYRUHS's rule from their position of self-given moral superiority,  in Dell'sville we find a place where folks actually "do" and "produce" and "provide".   It is Dell'sville where folks know and act.  Austin is where people practice "feeling", "openness" and "expressing one-ness with Mother Earth and Sister Nature", etcetera.

STROKE OF A PEN - LAW OF THE LAND: 


     Now, as we move into the final two years of the worst Presidency in the history of the American  Republic, we begin to see the effect of the affectations,  and the policy of deigning so as to damage.   We have written before about the true seed of the movement against Richard Milhouse Nixon's  presidency having been his "impoundment"  of authorisations by Congress of expenditures.   This means, in long-hand, that Nixon was returning to the Treasury of the United States monies that were un-spent at the end of a given fiscal year.

Sam Ervin (Democrat)
United States Senator for
 North Carolina
1954  -  1974

     Prior to that point, most programmes that could pass with a "D" were always expecting to receive their unspent moneys in the form of "carry - over:".   That way, a one million dollar grant in aid by the OEO to Pahdoodle Community Action Agency for "poverty workers" and "community organiser training"  that had 100,000 dollars left unspent, would receive their new budget, perhaps with an increase and authority to transfer the unspent money into the new programming year.   So, voila!  1,000,000 plus an increase...let us say 100,000 USD, and then reprogramming 100,000 USD for a White House - based bureaucracy that would eliminate poverty in or time.

     Well...not so much.  But it did buy a lot of votes, a lot of employment for brothers-in-law, and a lot of swagger for local politicians who could strut around and point at the "good we are doing fo' th' poh' - fokes".  Just think, in 1969, a Democrat County Commissioner in southeast Oklahoma being able to use our money to lubricate the will of his electorate.   For that reason, the Democrats went ape-crazy when they figured out the Nixon was going to impound their campaign "stash" derived from the tax-payers.


    The Democrats whipped themselves up into a stuporous frenzy and before long had begun to seriously entertain the notion that the president had to be impeached for overriding the will of Congress,  for not enforcing laws that were passed and signed into the Law of the Land.   They were even doing the preliminary songs and dances for adding on, as an impeachable offense, the authorisation by President Nixon of the Cambodian Incursion which actually helped bring a quicker end to the War with the North Vietnamese.


    Sam Ervin, a country-boy, Southern philosopher / attorney, chaired the Senate's investigation into Nixon's shenanigans, which by (Sir Edmund) Hillary's and Barry's standards were child's play.   But, of course, the press loves to love cads who are Democrat and loves to hate Republicans who draw living breath.   Ervin never had the chance to cast his vote to convict Richard Nixon of any high crimes and misdemeanours because Nixon resigned before the Lower House had even had time to indict the President.
     Ervin tried to seem reasonable and moderate, but it was known that once the impeachment was forwarded to the Senate, all the Democrats would readily vote Nixon into the dust bin of history.  In those years the Democrats held huge majorities in both Houses.  Like most Democrats, Ervin was concerned that Nixon could possibly become an Imperial President.


    Now, massively more egregious, are the offenses of Barrack Obama and his henchmen and thugs, such as Jarrett and Holder.   None are smart.  They all coast on the magic carpet provided by the  mindlessly approving press, the dull, the parasitic, and the intellectually-devoid intellectual class of dolts who, knowing little, presume of their own wisdom.

     Obama could be impeached and convicted for being the intellectual author, and/or the perpetrator, and/or accessory before, during, or after the fact in the following acts and actions:

          1.   Fast and Furious - possible charges of Manslaughter due to
                depraved indifference, or murder if it is demonstrated that the
                purpose of the programme was to provoke the killing of Mexican
                and American civilians, constabulary, and military "due to the
                the over-availability of firearms and ease of purchase in the United
                States".  This would, then, precede the final push to eliminate
                private sales and ownership of firearms and ammunition by
                this present administration.                   

         2.   Internal Revenue Service - multiple counts of fraud and abuse

         3.   Benghazi Fiasco, gun and munitions running, negligent homicide.

         4.   Deception, use of tax money for political ends for the purpose 

                of sabotaging the American Medical system, as a first step to     
                nationalisation of the system.  Mendaciously representing
                and true intent of the Act.  Using tax money to propagandise what
                was essentially a political campaign.

         5.   Repeatedly divulging names of foreign persons  who have given

                assistance to United States forces

         6.   Working in collusion with the Muslim Brotherhood on many levels

                when it is known that the Muslim Brotherhood is the sworn enemy 

                of all things American.   Subversion of the Mubarek regime.

         7.    Co-ordination of an immigration tidal wave and abrogation of the

                obligation to enforce existing immigration laws.   Authorising the

                dispersal of scores of thousands of illegal aliens, principally from

                Central America and southern Mexico. The Dispersal Site?
                Throughout the United States with temporary entry permits.

         8.   Purposeful manipulation of Veterans' Administration.

                Scores of thousands put on lengthy waiting lists and then lying to

               deflect criticism.   Possible charges of Manslaughter due to depraved
                indifference.

        9.    Failure to establish comprehensive and coherent diplomatic plan

      10.   Absurd malfeasance and misfeasance concerning withdrawal from

               Iraq and Afghanistan

The list could go on forever.   With Benghazi, for instance, there is only one certainty in the whole issue.  That one charge certainly leads to many possible interpretations about the violence, death, and hermiticism by this horrid administration  surrounding the Benghazi affair.   The one certainty is the absolute fact that everything was done by Panetta, Clinton, Obama, and several people within the highest ranks of State and Defence and the inner sanctum of the White House to prevent reinforcements from arriving at the Consular compound in Benghazi.  People who insisted upon trying to we punished, formally and out of view.
