A note to the Family and Closest Friends of El Gringo Viejo concerning our joust with the Tropical Storm Dolly

______________________________________________________
 
 
Hello All,
 
This is the first Dolly II transmission from our neighbour:   Quiubo David!..me reporta Ciro mucha lluvia por la sierra como lo mencionas. Pero todo bien, la humedad será de mucho provecho para un otoño-invierno generosos
Sigo informando
    It essentially states that the mayordomo of his place reports a lot of rain in the Sierra, as I had mentioned (Rafael read my email to him from very early this morning, where I gave him my radar interpretation of the area down there). He states, ''But all is well, the wetness will be much enjoyed for a generous autumn and winter.  I shall continue to inform."

This picture is included in the official State of
Tamaulipas summary of elegant retirement
 and community service for foreign investors.
  It is also a nice scene pertaining to the Valley
 of the Rio Corona...some 200 yards straight
 ahead.   It is, as many know, also the Quinta
 Tesoro de la Sierra Madre and our old Dodge
 Dynasty,not that long ago. We were unaware
 that the picture had been taken, or used for
 official propaganda, until a few minutes ago.
     As best we can tell there was a fairly late arrival to the base of the Sierra de El Cautivo cordillera of the Sierra Madre Oriental range of mountains upon whose skirts the Quinta Tesoro de la Sierra Madre is found.   As you all know this is a well-established destination for all manner of easterly tropical waves, depressions, storms, and hurricanes to bash their brains and guts out, especially from August through November of any given year....almost every given year.  Rains along the faces of the various ridges can range from 10 to 50 inches over a three day period in those mountains to the direct west of the Quinta....from 3 to 20 miles away.  At that 20 mile point is the monster peak of Pen~a Nevada (snowy peak) that reaches up to 13,000 fasl.   Run-off comes mainly towards us from the Canyon of El Tigre, which forms the springs of the origin of the Rio Corona.  Also of importance is the Rio San Pedro a little to the south, and the rivulet El Guayaba a bit to the north of the birthplace of the Rio Corona. 
     Whew!   All that said, we tracked the storm Dolly, Junior at its inception, which is something old men do.  It was not a typical storm.  On the 2nd of September all sources declared that it would go ashore during the early morning hours of the 2nd of September, a Tuesday. near Tampico.   It did not do that.  It broke apart in a way, with much convection separating to the south and also so the east.  One segment of the storm's energy went slight to shore just north of Tampico, about 25 miles north, at a place where Christian has fished on a couple of occasions, to great success, called Barra del Tordo.  But 90% of the storm's energy remained at sea.  The centre was identified by the official sources as having shifted to the south, near Tuxpan, but that was simply an error.  The NOAA analysts followed the lesser, and more visible by satellite and fly-over,  spin-off vortex to the south, while another shifted under the high-cloud canopy, during the night back to the east-northeast, about 80 miles deeper into the Gulf's very warm water.
     Then, on Wednesday, but later in the day, the larger portion of the energy mass moved in two directions.  One was to the north-northeast towards northern Tamaulipas and the southernmost tip of Texas.  The other energy mass, somewhat smaller began to move fairly slowly to just north of due west.  Both of the blocks of rain can be measured by observing that they were either side of the size of the State of Kansas.  So yesterday, a Wednesday, the 3rd of September, northernmost Tamaulipas and the Lower Rio Grande Valley picked up 2 to 8 inches of needed rains.   Given the extra time allowed by Dolly Junior's dawdling in the Gulf almost all of the Valley's cotton crop was either processed at gins or heavily protected at the point of harvest with high quality sheets of heavy duty, tie-down plastic.
 


Hitler's Bridge
This is the bridge over the Rio Corona
near where one might turn to the left
a mile further on to head for the Quinta
and the Santa Engracia area.  The bridge
 was placed shortly after American and
 Mexican crews and engineers had
 completed the ford and that section of
the Pan American Highway in 1935.
   Adolf Hitler sent  tonnes of German
 steel and several teams of German
engineers to build 20 bridges along
 that new highway's paved route
during that same year.  All work
 was finished in 3 months. 
     Then, late in the day and all night, and until a few minutes ago, the area of Cd. Victoria, the Quinta Tesoro de la Sierra Madre, the Hacienda de La Vega, and the zone around the venerable Hacienda de Santa Engracia apparently picked up 4 to 12 inches of rain.   Higher totals almost certainly fell as one moves into the mountains, and my personal estimate without hearing from anyone to this point, would be 10 - 22 inches, due to the fact that it began to rain and never let up....continuously in dark green, but mainly in yellow, ochre, and red echoes all afternoon, evening, night, and early morning....perhaps 18 hours of moderate to very heavy rains.   The area around El Chorrito to our north, along the mountains had the same....as did everything all the way up to Linares - Hualahuises and into  the Monterrey metroplex.   The rains will be beneficial in filling certain lakes of supply for irrigation and municipal water sources throughout the

Finally, in 2012, the Hitler's Bridge suffered a
one-two punch of a truck-wreck and a flood,
and was deigned unserviceable.  The work
on the new bridge was surprisingly quick
and four lanes!! And attractive.  The folks
in the area went out to look at it and made
pictures of themselves with.....their new
bridge.   A point of pride for sure.
northeasternmost 8% of Mexico and southernmost 8% of the Republic of Texas.   Flooding of your home on the Rio Corona is very doubtful...we saw much worse four years ago.   It will be enough to degrade the lessening amount of garbage and disrespect that still persists in cluttering up our beautiful River, and shred it into the bottom sediment to the pleasure of the carp and catfish...and to some degree to actually assist in the breeding of the various types of perch and bass that are encountered in our Rio,   Do not tell anyone that there is a minor, very slight usefulness to that litter and junk, for breeding and collecting vital underwater habitat...but it is purchased at too high a cost for my liking.   Better great limbs and recently arriving conglomerate and malachite rocks from the mountains.

This is the "big sister" built over the Rio
Purificacion, about 10 miles further north
from the Rio Corona.  This picture was
taken four years ago, during a flood just
before the official opening of this fine
 and attractive structure.  Both bridges
replaced one-at-a-time structures from
the mid-1930s.  (four lanes!! whoopee!)
     I am awaiting an advisory from Rafael Salazar de Leon, the hacendado of the Hacienda de La Vega, who will be sending your humble servant and relative a summary of events, without solicitation.  It is one of our blessings that he treats your home as his own in terms of assessment of needed works or adaptations, during my absence, as I do to his compound, plantings, machinery, and structures in his and his family's absence.   Upon receipt of the report of damages and casualties from the battlefront, we shall advise you all by that instant.

     Winston Leonard Spencer Churchill was perhaps the greatest orator in the English Language during the 20th Century.   Not a bad accolade for a half-breed American with more Indian blood than Pocahontas Warren, who declares herself qualified for privilege by taking advantage of Indian ancestry that she can neither prove, nor has.   We might throw in another great orator by the name of Billy Graham, who could literally hold a stadium of 100,000 spell-bound and silent for an hour.    There were and are many other great speakers, but the two aforenamed are in a distinct class.   Churchill's message for those times, now speaks to these times.  Sad, but true, avarice and  wanton drives are found throughout individuals and groups within the somewhat human race.  Would that such things did not exist, but they do.  I cannot guarantee your safety, even as you sit in your living room during the early evening.

student in order to gain special consideration at a university he says he attended, and does in fact hold a diploma from said university (nobody remembers him) has always been a "protected commodity". He was said to be so great an orator that grown men had tingles up and down their legs just listening to him.   To the discerning, Barry's speeches were toned down little rants against the unfairness of fate, the lack of caring by the State lottery, and institutional meanness on the part of the "haves", the style a form of literary boiler-plating drawn from focus group phrases. 

     The people who were not addicts to the rusted-out Cuba-think of to-day's Democrat Party could easily see through the charlatan's call for "New lamps for Old!  New Lamps for Old".   The old hag's insistent offer of the  shiny apple to the pretty girl at the door was seen-through readily by children in the theatre.   What a shame to have a Republic whose electorate has been degraded to the point that critical thinking is almost a disqualifier for eligibility as an elector.
     Or put another way, why would Snow White take a bite from an apple from someone who looks like (Sir Edmund)Hillary?   Why would William Tell take an arrow from a shyster-looking dunce like Barry Soetoro, the nephew of Uncle Omar and Auntie Zietuni (RIP)?  "Here, Bill.  Try this new arrow.  If you want your arrow, you can keep your arrow, but this one here is better."
     Why, Bill would you change your type of arrow, when you have shot 1,000 straight times, the apple right of the head of your son, without fail, and with absolute accuracy?



Mohammed scores a 9.6.  Very good for a
 desert dweller, don't you think, Valerie?
     Now comes Barry, after heeding naught of the advisories of the various intelligence agencies.   Also, his heralds sound their horns, while we remember that Barry has sacked more general officers than Abraham Lincoln.  Many more.   We especially remember General Petraeus, and Ham, and Admiral Gaouett.  This is a real feat for a person who knows absolutely nothing about military procedures, tactics, or strategies. 


"Oh!  King Barry, thank you for my lobotomy!
 And after I presented my apple, it was all free!!
  The millionaires and billionaires were forced to
 pay. Thank you, Glorious One!!
  We worship you."
  Lie after lie -  a spontaneous riot in Benghazi brought on by a video that nobody had ever seen - wallowing in the caress of a slavish, servile, totally ideologically and psychologically compliant press corps.   (Not Corpse, King Barry the Artificial, it's corps. One must pronounce it kohr...your teleprompter did not school you on that one...as well as a million other points of grammar.).   But!  At least we managed to sacrifice our Embassy in Tripoli, Libya, so as to provide swimming opportunities to Islamist terrorists.  Another victory in the Building Understanding War Against America's Past Abuses.

     We leave now, with deference to the actual president of the United States...or what is left of said Union.  That is, of course, Valerie Jarrett who is the only person in the White House who has any testosterone poisoning.   It is strange that, when all was said and done, a non-native born foreigner did become President after all...it just was not Barry Soetoro.   Valerie has the typical communist record of ripping off public monies to her own benefit.  She also has a record of service at high positions while condemning the highly placed and wealthy.  She was, after all, a member of the Board of Governors of the Chicago Federal Reserve.   Her daddy was a communist who had to flee Iran (Persia) during the regimen of the Shah....when there was SO MUCH Totalitarianism, before it was made into a bastion of freedom under the ayatollahs.

     Valerie, who has held various high public positions, always decorated her walls with pictures of favourite communist personalities, including Ernesto (Che) Guevara.   Of course, we all know she was the match-maker for that match made in Gulag Heaven....Miss Alfalfa Sprouts for Everybody Else...Michelle Robinson, the girl who reported to work at least 4 times during her two year,  $314,000 per annum salary, do-nothing job.  Michelle's job, remember, was primarily to divert Negroes, especially the "wrong kind" of Negroes to seek medical services at the Cook County Training and Veterinarian Clinic.   HER hospital was for the "important people".    Such hypocritical frauds:   Two 747s to every vacation....you gotta' love it.

Chavez was to Venezuela as ____________________is to ___________________?

_____________________________________________________
 
 
A member of Venezuela's Socialist Party has rolled out a variation of the classic Christian "Lord's Prayer" to implore beloved late leader Hugo Chavez for protection from the evils of capitalism.
 
     "Our Chavez who art in heaven, the earth, the sea and us delegates," red-shirted delegate Maria Estrella Uribe recited on Monday at the Partido Socialista Unida Venezolano  party Congress.  "Hallowed be your name, may your legacy come to us so we can spread it to people here and elsewhere. Give us your light to guide us every day," she said in front of an image of Chavez.  Lead us not into the temptation of capitalism, deliver us from the evil of the oligarchy, like the crime of contraband, because ours is the homeland, the peace and life forever and ever. Amen. Viva Chavez!"  she exclaimed to applause.
 
     My poor wife thought that the above two paragraphs might have been one of my weak, ill-explained parodies.   They are not.  They are taken from an account of an official meeting of the Venezuelan United Socialist Party.

Luciferine angels review Hugo Chavez's
 progress in putting down roots in Hell.
  He seems to be adjusting well enough.
    Lunatic marxists, shades of Jonestown.   This is the nature of the multigenerational public assistance-dependent method of thought.  The making of the cosmic into something bound by the vagaries of lust and covetousness.   It is the futility  of investing in the earthly  where all treasures, moth and rust doth do certainly corrupt.
   What conceit!  What inability to recognise that, after literally thousands of provisional governments, Pronunciamientos Grandiosos, Constitutions of this or that Peoples' Republic, the Reich of 1,000 years, the Certain March of Bolshevik History, of Mandela Worship, and Mahatma Ghandi Worship you people never succeed in establishing Utopia?   
     Yet, the socialists worship of all things formed by the hand of man....do you humanist utopians never learn?   I address not the OROGs but the self-worshipping secular humanists who have Polar Bears instead of Saints as guideposts.

The Collapse is Total - The Plan is Working

______________________________________________________________

 
     There is no doubt among reasonable people by this point that the entire agenda of the Obama presidency has either been accomplished or is now entering the finishing stages.  Starting with the expropriation of General Motors and Chrysler (now FIAT), and the rendering of those companies to foreign and labour union control to the collapse of American pre-eminence in the scheme of Planetary matters....it is done.
 
     The illogic and absurdity of the policies of this administration, the lies, the delays in matters of morality and legal process, the entire of muck of it can only lead a person to one reasonable conclusion:   this cabal of jackals and Gamorrahmites and degenerates have laboured incessantly for the destruction of the Republic.
 
     The utter, base, and purposefully arrogant employment of racism as a continuing campaign strategy...not tactic like the National Socialist Democrats normally do...but as a strategy leaves a person stunned and exhausted by its relentlessness.  Little does it matter that none of the principals who are employing this strategy as a centre-piece of their "administration" have no idea what institutional racism is.   So long as they can base almost one-half of the electoral base within the ranks of a group that has been multigenerationally  trained to depend upon the enslaving hand of unwarranted largess, their control of government is almost assured.
     And while Americans are being beheaded, and sub-human slime are using the second-floor deck of the American Embassy in Tripoli (not Benghazi) as a diving ramp to practice their jackknife and one-and-a-half gainer into the Embassy's swimming pool, the administration is busy stirring the pot of racial unrest in a place called Ferguson...not Chicago.  Yes, Ferguson, not new Orleans, New York, Detroit, or Anywhere, USA where people (using the term loosely) kill each other by the thousands each  year over important stuff  like whatever....on this or that street-corner....or door-stoop.  There is really no other more obtuse and disgusting form of racism than that which is practiced by Valerie Jarrett and her little gaggle of commies who hold offices with titles like President and Attorney General.   Imagine how much Van Jones could have accomplished if he had been able to stay on a little longer.
 
     We are reaping the indulgence and, in a way, the racism of low expectation and idol worship.   The Obsolete Press, so full of self-impressed people who can see the glorious raiment of kings who are fools, revealed themselves as fools from the entrance of this horrid personality upon the public stage to now this point of near-total collapse of the empire.
     By the racism of low expectation we mean that racism that stems from the willingness to always believe that the black man needs a handicap on his over all score....because "we just have to admit that 'they' aren't quite as smart as regular people"....and that is why the liberal cartel has forced integration (did not work), Head Start (did not work), quotas and ''affirmative action" (did not work), differential university admission standards (did not work), and a myriad of social welfare programmes upon the nation.  None worked in the overall sense.   The only thing that would have ever worked would have been the gentle but firm application of the Constitution and of Christian impulse over the issues of racial disparity.   We had the War of Demagoguery against the Negro for many years, followed by the Pied Piper's deception of luring the Black man into an anthropological black hole of multigeneratational welfare dependency.
     And then with this administration, all of this was continued in spades, and coupled with the steady and purposeful degeneration of the United States in military and diplomatic terms.   Benghazi and the Canadian Pipeline are excellent examples of lying and sticking to the lie.
     And yes, (Sir Edmund) Hillary is the same part of the same septic sludge and immoral ilk as the rest.  Pretentious, arrogant, profane, stupid, mean, vicious, and unqualified except in the view of those who can "see the wondrous raiment" of the Empress.
So, to all of them....no, not the guillotine... for that is their way.  But to all of them, let them suffer the joys of their inequity.  Their time draweth nigh, that they will be able to walk the cold, barren halls of their castles.   And since they believe in nothing larger than themselves they shall accompany themselves and the ghosts of their iniquity as they walk those cold and  darkened halls at night....searching comfort.   And they will have none.

RINOS resent being called RINOS and they call us RINOS

_____________________________________________________________
 
     The country-club set of the Republican Party is like an animal one sees in the zoo that is half alligator and half sabre-tooth mink.  Part of them are all soft and fluffy, and
part of them are so immune to outside influence it is like they have alligators skin that can resist a shotgun blast.   Then they intermarry among themselves, growing longer and finer mink fur and harder and tougher alligator hide.   Men and women alike.
     They talk about a big tent and a non-regional party....but they do not want anyone in the party who has dirty fingernails.  They certainly do not want anyone in leadership positions who think that outreach to minorities is something like trying to sell our reasonable positions to everyone equally, no matter the age, race, religion, or whatever of the potential voter.
     But, invariably, the RINO wants to take a Democrat Socialist programme and scale it back by 15% and call it a "conservative alternative".  Why, the Republican Party is the party of frugality and responsible spending, don't you know!?  Of course, that is why spending has gone up and deficits have exploded....with National Socialist Democrat Workers' Party and/or the Grand Old Party in charge, together, or apart.
 
The pit and the pendulum
Social Security, Medicare,
Medicaid, annual deficits,
Tick
Tock-Tick
Tock
$18,000,000,000,000  and soon to be $20,000,000,000,000.   By the year 2018, the national debt will total 63,000 dollars for every man, woman, and child in the nation.  Fewer than 90,000,000 people are paying taxes in excess of what they consume.  That means that the 50% of the adult and employed and proprietor class, each one, owes over 240,000 American dollars to Pocahontas Warren and (Sir Edmund)Hillary.  If married, the couple owes nearly one-half million, besides their other debt obligations.  If they have two children, then for the moment, they owe almost $1,000,000 dollars as a family....just to cover the national governmental debt.  Nearly 80 per cent of the debt has been built up by entitlement spending, not wars.   The spending for Social Security is, and staggeringly   so, apart from the unfunded liability.  As is Medicare.  And ditto Medicaid, aka in government talk "The Bottomless Pit" and the "Inevitable Pendulum" that present us with what appears now a vertical, insurmountable brick wall surrounded by a bottomless moat.

Bill Kristol by Gage Skidmore.jpg
William Kristol
noted conservative
analyst and pundit
 Bill Kristol is the quintessential "reasonable conservative Republican".   His flag does not say, "Don't Tread on Me" or "Come and Take It".  Were he to have a flag it would say, "After all, if we just compromise a little bit and get most of what we want then the ship will fall of the edge of the Earth the day after to-morrow, instead of this afternoon."   To wit:
    "If Republicans also spoke more about a broader agenda for the future which would include, for example, replacing Obamacare and rebuilding our defenses, I'd feel even more confident. Things may be falling apart so fast for the Obama Administration that such efforts won't be necessary for victory in 2014. But Republicans won't be able to coast to victory in 2016, though. They'll need to earn it".....Bill Kristol.   Succinct, to-the-point, and very professional.  But there is just one little Pamper in the parking lot.   Replacing Obamacare?  Replacing Obamacare?
A rough way to leave town
 
     We should take Obamacare, and after tarring and feathering the poseur who rammed it through the testosterone-challenged Congress (and I mean mainly Democrats) we should mount Barry Soetoro on a papier mache' 10 foot rail, made entirely of reconstituted 3,000 page Obamacare Bills, hardened to support a fool such as Barry and the weight of the tar and feathers he will carry, along with Miss Dietary Wonder-Woman Extraordinaire and conduct him and her to the Potomac where they can begin their one-rail cruise to Cuba. 
 
    When the RINOs smugly say that we, the right wing crazies and the unwashed who did not graduate from Southern Methodist University, or Columbia, or Harvard, or at least from the University of Texas or Texas A & M, and who are not members of the Mandibular and Vertebrae Society, are the real Republicans in Name Only (RINOs) because we do not know how to compromise and be nice.   But we repeat.   We have, through compromise, a lost three generations of the black race in America, where fully half or more have been led into the way of wickedness and sloth and crime due to the patronage of liberals buying votes and Republicans trying to be "fair".   We have much of our private industry grovelling for fair and foul financial relations with the Exchequer of the Republic, and farmers raising corn, not for hogs and people, but to feed motorcars.  
     We have FEMA, we have home financing gone wild, we have Veteran's Affairs playing shell games on the backs of veterans, and we could go on and on about the creep and crawl of the central government into every aspect of our lives.   We have a government financed by half of the population and bled by parasitic crony capitalists and slothful slugs pseudo-citizens who only bring their digestive and reproductive tracts to the nation's table.  No More Compromise with national socialist elitists!!
 
And we shall leave it at that, Mr. Kristol.  I still respect you although you think of us as your inferior.  I know that we are not, because at least we know that one plus one is two, and that three minus two is one.  That is the way we must approach our budgeting for the central government starting to-day.  No more innovative accounting and New Math for Politicians.
