They could have heard a pin drop

__________________________

JFK'S Secretary of State, Dean Rusk, was in France in the early 60's when DeGaulle decided to pull out of NATO. DeGaulle said he wanted all US military out of France as soon as possible. Rusk responded, "Does that include those who are buried here?"
DeGaulle did not respond.
You could have heard a pin drop.

When in England, at a fairly large conference, Colin Powell was asked by the Archbishop of Canterbury if our plans for Iraq were just an example of 'empire building' by George Bush.
He answered by saying, "Over the years, the United States has sent many of Its fine young men and women into great peril to fight for freedom beyond our borders. The only amount of land we have ever asked for In return is enough to bury those that did not return."
You could have heard a pin drop.

There was a conference in France where a number of international engineers were taking part, including French and American. During a break, One of the French engineers came back into the room saying, "Have you heard the latest dumb stunt Bush has done? He has sent an aircraft carrier to Indonesia to help the tsunami victims. What does he intend to do, bomb them?"
 A Boeing engineer stood up and replied quietly: "Our carriers have three hospitals on board that can treat several hundred people; they are nuclear powered and can supply emergency electrical power to shore facilities; they have three cafeterias with the capacity to feed 3,000 people three meals a day, they can produce several thousand gallons of fresh water from sea water each day, and they carry half a dozen helicopters for use in transporting victims and injured to and from their flight deck. We have eleven such ships. How many does France have?"
You could have heard a pin drop.

A U.S. Navy admiral was attending a naval conference that included admirals from the U.S., English, Canadian, Australian and French navies at a cocktail 
reception. He found himself standing with a large group of officers that included personnel from most of those countries. Everyone was chatting away in English as they sipped their drinks when a French admiral suddenly complained that, whereas Europeans learn many languages, Americans learn only English. He then asked, "Why is it that we always have to speak English in these conferences rather than speaking French?"
Without hesitating, the American admiral replied, "Maybe it's because the Brits, Canadians, Aussies and Americans arranged it so you wouldn't have to speak German."
You could have heard a pin drop.



AND THIS STORY FITS RIGHT IN WITH THE ABOVE...
     Robert Whiting, an elderly gentleman of 83, arrived in Paris by plane. At French customs, he took a few minutes to locate his passport in his carry on. "You have been to France before, monsieur?" the customs officer asked sarcastically.
Mr. Whiting admitted that he had been to France previously. "Then you should know enough to have your passport ready."

The American said, "The last time I was here, I didn't have to show it." 

"Impossible. Americans always have to show their passports on arrival in France !"

The American senior gave the Frenchman a long hard look. Then he quietly explained, ''Well, when I came ashore at Omaha Beach on D-Day in 1944 to help liberate this country, I couldn't find a single Frenchmen to whom I could  show my passport."
You could have heard a pin drop.

If You are proud to be an American, pass this on! If not, delete it. I am proud to be an American.

? ? ? ? ? The Democrats are concerned that I have not finished my Democrat Survey...

________________________ 

You’re not doing the 2020 survey?? - privatouring@gmail.com - Gmail

You’re an informed Democrat in Mission. You’re exactly who Democrats need to listen to for our 2020 strategy. Click below to complete your survey before midnight:

_____________________

       To the OROG Community and other readers of this wandering minstrel, we  lament that El Gringo Viejo will have to tolerate the fact that he shall be having to go in for Grief Counselling and Special Consolation and three huggy-bear Emotional Reconstruction Sessions for the next 3 to 33 months.

    WHY???   Because the people who sent this misdirected electronic mail to my personal and private address failed to take into consideration the following:

     (1)   In 1952, my mother was one of the co-chairmen of the Hidalgo County-wide Democrats for Eisenhower in McAllen, Texas.   The middle Newton brother, at the age of 10, was passing out Eisenhower / Nixon propaganda leaflets in front of the McAllen Post Office, and I was, at the age of 5, helping him at that same place.



The main flood release gates and spillway for times of
heavy flooding, especially during hurricanes.  The spillway
is flanked by Mexican (on the right) and American electric
generators that provide to this day, considerable power. 

    (2)    In 1953, (October 19th, I think) Dwight David Eisenhower came to dedicate the bi-national Falcon Dam and Lake project, in conjunction with the Mexican President, Adolfo Ruiz Cortinez.   Both Presidents were wearing dark suits, and they did not seem to mind the heat, wind (gusts to 35 mph)…it was an extremely windy and hot day (103 degrees)and I wormed my way through the sea of legs and managed to make it up to the side of President Eisenhower.  Speeches had ended, National Anthems played, pomp and circumstance observed, etc.
       I pulled on the President's coat on his left side a couple of times, andas it is said,"Ask and ye shall receive." , the President looked down, shook my hand, and asked something about where my mother was.


http://bit.ly/2RDh0fz  -  for a summary of Falcon Dam Dedication


     My response to him, after he had hoisted me up like his own child, was to blurt out that,''…my name is David, toojust like you".   He laughed robustly, and, at that point, I re-blurted out, " I can spell your last name".
     The President - General beamed a bitactually from this point in my life, it is probable that he was a bit embarrassed, but he said, "Okay, how do you spell my name?"
     I went through the whole long assembly of letters, and those nearby assembled applauded.  At that same moment, my mother and Godmother came bustling up(my mother had had a brief fainting spell, upon learning of my shameful barging in on someone else's party.).  The President seemed pleased for the episode and equally (at least) pleased to be rid of me.  He told me to remember to always be a good Republican, even as my mother dragged me through the dust on the way back to our Brown Box Jeep.

     The President's admonition heldand infected my two older brothers as well.  We all metamorphosed from moths to butterflies.  When everyone in Texs was Democratthe three of us (my two older brothers and me) swore loyalty to the Elephant Herd.  And, in reality, we never changed.

     (3)     Your humble servant joined the Teenaged Republican Club in McAllen at the ripe old age of 12, (1959) and by the age of 15 he was President of that Club.  It also happened to be the largest TAR club in the Nation, but more importantly it was the largest Teenaged Republican Club in the Republic of Texas.   We had  up to 600 members, especially during times of special political interest.   We were the ones who changed Texas from a collection of semi-feral donkeys to a massive reserve of noble Elephants. (Lamentably, some of the Elephants later turned out to be "reasonable Elephants" who felt the need to "reach across the aisle".)

     (4)     We have voted only in Republican Primaries, and we have voted in each and every General Election…and always straight-Republican.  I, along with some other menLatin and Anglo…ran stiff Republican opposition in 1980 to local Democrat politicians for significant local positions…Hidalgo County Sheriff, State Representative, and in my case for Hidalgo County Commissioner, Precinct III.

     Therefore…All OROGs and other readers here can be cognisant that I must take a long respite to recover this horrid assault upon my persona, my history of service, my left big toe's inclination to have an ingrown nail, and my efforts to clip the nose hairs with those really small scissors made for that purpose.

Thank you all for standing by me at this moment.   In a serious vein, however, I was pleased to think that the Democrat Socialist operatives are so pitifully stupid that we would even think about considering making a contribution to the Bernie and Biden and Pocahontas Show…

WAIT!!! WAIT!!!  Just a moment!!
     My Ocuvite vitamin and aspirin regimen just kicked in!!!  It's stopped raining!!!  Everything is bright again.   Let's forget about the Emotional Reconstruction Therapy…let's mount up and ride against the enemy!!!

Thanks for the Memories…and I think we can avoid having to go into therapy after all.  Pardon the intrusion.

A Finch giving a Hummingbird

_______________________
______________________

    Australian photographer Christian Spencer, who lives in Brazil took these beautiful photos of a hummingbird that looks like its wings are made of a rainbow. It took patience, skill, and some luck, but he managed to take many shots of a bird with light diffracting through its wings, making them look colorful and magical.

     Why the label "A Finch Giving a Hummingbird"?   Milton Finch, who resides in South Carolina is, among other attributes, a relatively serious bird watcher who is quite expert in the topic.  I am a fairly good minor-league dilettante.   One cannot have a place in the particular area of Mexico where we have our "little mud hut'' without being overcome by what turns out to be well over 500 different species of birds on an annual basis.

     They all  take seasonal turns at barging in on our grounds to bathe, eat, brood, and make racket…without apology.  They never pay us anything, except the joy of the comfort and beauty they bring upon the property.  So we presume that the balance works out evenly for all parties.

     Thanks to Milton Finch for having posted this remarkable bit of photography by Mr. Spencer.  Mr. Finch is a client of ours, having visited out humble abode and property in NoWhere, Mexico not long ago for a nice stay.  He is also an avid star and UFO aficionado, a solid lifetime Christian student and a person with an almost identical social, moral, and political outlook as the writer.   He and the Mrs. are of those couples who make America function.

INTERMISSIM

______________________

     Were it to have been anything but this horrid matter of indiscriminate carnage, we would have gone on with our elaboration about our previous intended topic.   The matter of dual mass shootings must be addressed however, and this we shall strive to do in measured, solid, reasonable, and respectful ways.

     


     
          We have been called upon again to endure the misery of psychopathic and sociopathic horrorit is trulyas the words might indicatepathetic.  There is no place to hide when the bullets are flying and there is no place to hide when the reasonable person considers the hideousness of these acts of supreme conceit and arrogance.   We should like to provide the observances and recollections of an older man who has been through thisin some ways directly, and in other ways vicariously.

     One million years ago, back in place called Austin, Texas when it was a normal place, it was my unpleasant experience to have been on the campus of the University of Texas, urgently seeking a fellow worker with the Austin Parks and Recreation Department.  He had left a meeting of Park Leaders to go to the main campus for some administrative duty pertaining to his alignment for next semester's course sign-up.  This fellow, whom I sought, was the son of one of Walt Disney's most important animists and design producers.  The son, Paul Sontag, my fellow park leader at a park most adjacent to the one given to my charge, was a jewel of a fellow…the guy everyone esteemed…not "liked" but genuinely was thought of as a really, really nice guy.

The beloved Tower of the University of Texas Campus?

      Why was El Gringo Viejo driving like a madman, parking in restricted parking, and dashing up into the centre compound of the University of Texas after this fine fellow?  Because the fellow had left the Austin Parks and Recreation main office and driven to the Campus area in order to make a small change in his degree plan.   And he was unaware that a shooter was killing and wounding people, firing from high atop the famous University Tower…the landmark emblem of the institution.

     As I ran in, the first person down that I encountered was what was left of my buddy, Paul Sontag.  He had taken a head shot and was dropped in his tracks without ever knowing what hit him.   I had no time for remorse or even anger.  Seeing a uniformed Marine waving at anyone,  I continued running towards him, at the base of the Tower so as to gain cover from the shooter.   When other people nearer the Library Building (about 200 feet distant) motioned us that the shooter had changed position, the Marine and I ran over and carried a pregnant woman who had been wounded high in the shoulder area.  We hoisted and clumsily carried the lady to our protected area of protection adjacent to the Tower.
    When it was all over, the woman was taken off by competent personnelto one of several public and private hospitals very close byshe survived and the baby was not traumatised or injured.   The OROGs and other readers will note that this is not my tale of heroism or sacrifice.  My story is one of becoming accidentally trapped with no alternatives, and then having to do what the Christian teachings requireas in the case of the Samaritanrender unto he who needs.   And, a pregnant woman down defines "he who needs". 
___________________________

     After all was said and done…it was decided that "something happened and steps were being taken to make certain that such a thing would never happen again", and various movements began to abolish guns, and blah, blah, blah.  Sears and Roebuck stopped selling pistols, for instance.  And, that solved all the problems.
     Folks, the problem is not the firearm.  The problem is drugs, over-medication, and self-adulation, and self-indulgence.   Almost all of these people, using the word "people" loosely, have been pumped full of all kinds of behaviour-control "medicine".   The Columbine assassins were both taking three or more different types of behaviour-control "medicines", and almost all of the spontaneous assassins have been filled with these various poisons, almost totally aimed at males and frequently with adverse effect.
     Charles Whitman,  the Tower shooter, who was also a Marine, was also a walking medicine cabinet, full of various powerful cure-alls for the disease of masculinity and normalcy.   My father, a psychologist, declared that Whitman's "counsellor" concerning psychological medication…"…must have been an idiot."  (My father had little patience for dumboes).
______________________________


SO, THEREFORE:

       Your humble servant did receive an Honourable Discharge from the United States Army although Charles Whitman did not.    He was already under DD process before his rampage.   The Marine who did most of the heavy lifting with the pregnant lady, I am sure, received an Honourable Discharge, in later time after the above-described matters.   We wish to move now, however, to the present.

      Donald John Trump has nothing to do with any of these matters that occurred over this past weekend, or any other such time.  And as far as firearms and guns are concerned, please understand that in Mexico, almost all the innocent and uninvolved have no guns…on person…in homes.   Firearms are the domain of the military and the police (such as the latter might be).                   
      Those involved in normalcy, have children, brothers, sisters, cousins or close friends who like to "get together" and blow a little smoke and/or drop a little acid…and after a few weeks, months, or years…go out and slaughter people who have nothing to do with anything that pertains to the perpetrator, or reality.  It is part of the blessing of being "liberated" from normalcy by the people who worship at the altar of normalcy and then who depend upon drugs and other self-contaminants that give the false impressions of normalcy.

     We arrive at our point.

    We know that the OROGs and your humble servant are not the biggest fans of Donald John Trump, but we must also know that he had nothing to do with the shootings of the innocents, nor any of the others, over the past 20 or 40 yea.rs   We also know that we cannot overly judge the innocent or the guilty on this Earth, because those matters are to be left to the acolytes of Saint Peter.

There shall be more commentarybut we have various contributions piling up.   Please excuse.

Limes, Problematics, and the "Migrant Mess"

 _______________________

A brief note before the pontification begins:

     We have been out during the past few weeks, dealing with medical emergencies and situations, attending to affairs at our little place in Mexico, and taking care of a thousand loose ends.   It is a source of guilt-syndrome perhaps because I have had no problems, but people close to me of the first order of relation.

     We have had to defer our normal observations and pontifications to take care of such matters.  Upon return to our blog activity, it was somewhat less than amusing to find that it appeared that some of our last postings had been "modified" apparently either by a weather / electrical occurrence or by outright hacking penetrationor both.

     In any regard, we have set about to restore some of the writing and composition, and we are going to try to return to some semblance of commentary about things pertaining to Mexico, Central America, and the American condition.    We shall probably make some observations about the elections in Texas during the coming Generals in 2020.

Early 2017 lime sproutlings just getting started

     We continue, now,  with news and information about our neighbour, the owner of the 220 acres of a special type of lime that was put in about three years ago.   During  our last stay down at our Quinta he came and delivered a "decena (10)" of the new-fangled lime.   It was the "first picking",  and Rafael said he wanted me to be the "first" to receive them.   That term is actually a bit of an overstatement, but not by much.  These trees are supposed to produce fully after four or five years.  But, due to very timely rains and no severe cold, everything lined up to be the perfect setting for a "first crop harvest".

This are the limes about one and a half year later, in 2018
    This harvest will not be some great bounty.   But, by September - October of this year, the workers, mechanics, analysts, and marketeers will be able to do enough of a harvest to be able to reasonably confront the requirements of harvest and marketting, pest control and soil analysis, leaf rust and nematode infestations, etc. so as to have a truly smooth running operation.  Especially important is the preparation to be able to confront the "real harvest"coming up in April / May of 2020.


      One can readily see the quick and dense growth that
                  has occurred "while we were sleeping".

_______________________________
     These particular trees will tend to adapt to a two-harvests per twelve months rhythm.   The tonnage Don Rafael (the owner of the Hacienda de La Vega) and the staff a are looking for will be around 15,000 tonnes (English measure) per calendar year.  There are still enough younger men around who are capable at multitasking who can maintain an active husbandry regimen over what, by Texas standards, is a huge citrus acreage involvement.  The younger but more experienced men generally tend to have three or four journeyman's trades over which they can  perform well without intense supervision.   There are even master's level blue-collar expertiseamazing actuallybut good for El Gringo Viejo when repairs are needed at our Quinta, next door to the lime plantation of the Hacienda de La Vega.
     In order to understand well, these limes are slightly smaller than lemons, and shaped more like a basketball than the football-like lemon.   The new-fangled limes are not quite as sour and are becoming very much in demand in the urbane places in Europe, Japan, as well as the large cities of Mexico and South America.   They are especially popular in seafood restaurants and saloons of the higher categories.   Many think that these new fangled limes are medicinal in some ways.
     To sum up this really basic progress report, it has been interesting to watch the work proceed and especially to see, now, the actual fruit of the labours of about twenty people.  Really and and truly impressive.


______________________________

The Matter of the Migrant Mess:

     To begin, it has been quite impressive to see how quickly the Mexican military authority finally came into line with what they have been wanting to do for several years anyway.  Oddly enough, it took the doddering Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador (AMLO) supreme socialist leftist President of Mexico to essentially get out of the way and, as well, allow some reason to enter into the issue of the "inmigrantes".
   And, if that sentence makes any sense to the reader, it is very possible that the reader has become immersed into the state of mind that is required in order to have a good understanding of Mexico.  The first thing to understand, of course, is that the entire issue of the "inmigrantes" is a sham.  It is an invention of the leftist "World Control Group"to permit the imposition of all nature of insult against free and relatively free states and nations.   That imposition is designed to serve the interests of our betters who know what is best for us, while they live in gated communities next door to Nancy Pelosi and (Sir Edmund)Hillary.
      It took about 20 years for the issue of flooding to finally sieze the Republic of Texas and the United States of America with hordes of illegal aliens from increasingly ungovernable and/or dysfunctional poor  countries.   The beginnings were in the overthrow of Anastacio Samosa, the President of Nicaragua back in the 1970s.   The end seems to be occurring now.   Perhaps this is Armageddon II - The Real Game.

    We shall have commentary tonight and tomorrow being readied for publication, no later than Monday, next.   Thanks for staying in with us.

The Border Invasion and the Fallout Therefrom


____________________

     The issues and comments and over-abundance of words, thoughts, and opinions about the increasing level of anarchic behaviour along the frontiers of the United States and Texas has become an "issue" in many parts of the United States and Texas.   Clumsy, juvenile commentary by the President has helped those in opposition to order and common lawOcasio-Cortez, the Democrat - Socialist coalition, along with the mega-billionaires who wish to assign the rest of us to our appropriate place in the ant-hill or bee-hive.

The Beginning:

      This entire matter began as a "democratic socialist" movement that involved many dolts and dreamers back during the last quarter of the 1800s.   Great Thinkers like Teddy Roosevelt, Margaret Sanger, Henry Ford, George Bernard Shaw, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Eleanor Roosevelt, and thousands of others of "our betters" stumbled forth to save us from ourselves.
George William Freiderick Engles

We are not clear why Engles sent us a photo of some
older lady supposed to be his third-grade teacher

 instead of one of himself.  (She is a mean looking
critter, in any regard.)


     Brilliant People…all.  Karl Marx and George William Friederich Engles perfected the correct plans for other peoples' lives.  All things they did after forming up their forming up of the forming up of civilisation as it should be formed up the mess we have in the undevelopable world and the "democratic socialists" in the European Union and all the minions who follow them.

     We are carefully taught by the controllers of the mass media to believe what they say is somehow found in the tablets that were left behind after Moses lost the other eight tablets. Moses submitted only the two that he could find after the previous night's party.
      American children to-day cannot differentiate between which war was which…the Civil War or the War Between the States.   But many can parrot-chirp terms such as "climate change" or "equality" or "World Peace" and speak with great authority about what any of such bilge means.   Thankfully there are many children, still, who are raised in fruitful orchards and who know what is meant by terms such as "natural law".   So, please do not think that your humble servant is saying"all is lost".
      We leave this in order to move to our more urgent points. The Red-coats invaded us when we decided to establish a separate nation…a Republic to be named The United States of America…from the Brits.   They were nice folks, but…our situation was different, and King George III did not wish to allow us our "freedom of expression".   The Yankees invaded the South when it was understood that their slavery of bonded indenture of adults and children to serve terms in factories and other services with wages of pennies per day,  was a "higher form" of dealing with "the lower elements" than the horrid slavery in the South of the new nation.   That War resulted in what is estimated to have been over 2,000,000 soldiers and support people being killed and wounded…far and away great than any other War losses suffered by the Americans in all Wars.   
      
    Woodrow Wilson, who would not touch a Negro…even the hand of Booker Tallefero Washington (a True Hero of America and brilliant thinker) during Wilson's time as President at the White House…was one of these "Progressives" who wanted to either send the Negroes back to Africa or to "otherwise" eliminate them through medical measure of sterilisation.   Margaret Sanger was very, very much in favour of this alternative.

       It should be of interest that Helen Kellerthe famous poster child for all those who are multi-incapicated(blind, deaf, etc)was one of the leaders of the "Progressive Movement" of the first and second quarters of the 20th Century.    Miss Keller was deaf, blind, and several other things.  She also hated America and declared that European institutions would do more to help the incapacitated.   One needs to tread carefully when discussion this matter. 
     Were she to have learned what National Socialism meant what Germany had wished to do with people like Helen Keller, as opposed to what I might have done for her as a rural, Southern farm boy…she would have chosen differently from what she (Hellen Keller) might have chosen.   My choice is, was, and forever will be….life.
      The entire Progressive Movement is a lie.   That is why they have to say."Gay"instead of homosexual.   Truly, the word "gay" has little to do with homosexuality, especially during the last 20% to 30% of the life of a supposedly "gay" personality…(Liberace, Van Cliburne, Prince, Andy Warhol, Rock Hudson, and several million around the world, millions more).   The entire movement at these very moments tie into the declared war against normalcy.
   We were told that everything was closing in on the end of the Planet Earth because America was using too much of the assets of the rest of the people on Planet Earth, and therefore we had so much hunger, poverty, and disease.
     Ozone Holes…Glacial Melting…Birth avoidance…abortion rights…18 year-olds voting…low-calorie, "healthy" diets…no eggs due to the cholesterol…and the worst storms in history are destroying America, Japan, and Europe.  Everybody knows it, and everybody knows it is America's fault.   Little matter that Red China and Indian are far and away the two entities that contribute almost 80% of all pollution of the Planet Earth.
    And it goes on and on.  Everybody must covert to Protestantism…everyone must be loyal to Roman Catholicismthe Beatles are going to India to visit the Hindu magiciansthere is no divinity, God is dead, according to Episcopal Bishop Pike in the 1960sBuddhism is the only pathPsychology will solve all illnesses and bring people into proper balancePalestinians are forced into misery and torture by Jews.
____________________


NOW THE PRONUNCIATION:
The myriad of…people…crossing into the Republic of Mexico and the Republic of Texas during these times was boiled out of the cauldron of poison boiled up by the Three Witches (perhaps) of MacBeth's encounter.
Thus sayeth El Gringo Viejo:

     The Republicans, the Americans, the Christians and Jews, Madison Avenue, the Flying Saucers, and all the mental inventions of the  present-day media cannot subordinate the facts.   Human errors are human errors. 
THIS IS NOT THE GUY,
you want your daughter (or
son) to 
bring home for an
encounter or family supper.
Among his various names
is Pol Pot, Butcher of
Cambodia…3 Million of the 
nation's 6 million died under
his orders...
     Nations…large and small…commit small and large errors.  Switzerland and the Great Britain, the Japanese Empire, all nature of the powerful and/or potent have committed these errors.  But, there is one Nation where all the World would rather be…apparently…and that is the United States of America.
   Transnational Socialist Agents have worked for years to destabilise the United States and any allied nation or agency.   We have written before about the Mitterrand ogres and the Soros contamination of humanity(as in the US, we only have examples such as Black Lives Matter,  Occupy Wall Street,  No Borders, America Will Learn or America Will Burn, Southern Poverty Law Centre…and yes, up to and including the American Civil Liberties Union,  etc. etc. etc.).

     One can judge their successes in Central America.   They destroyed El Salvador,  Guatemala,  Honduras, and Nicaragua as relevant players in the world scene.  Before, they were reliable servants to their own cause…not servants to others, unless they offered reasonable profit.   The Roman Church was reliable at least in the High Rituals…but by the late 1980's it had become a refuge for clerical fellows seeking…whatever.   The Esteemed Bishop of Rome (The Pope, for those of the Protestant or another Orthodox Opinion) has indicated that he is something it would be better not to say.   I shall say ithe is a Liberation Theologist.

      Fidel and Raul of Cubaand the Ortega Brothers of Nicaraguaand people such as Hugo Chavez…and all the drug and pre-teen and slightly older girls who have been "harvested"in those precincts? Necessity

     All of the elites of the European and American Left thought that the previously mentioned were acolytes and junior prophets of the coming of a new and more perfect Union.   Homosexuality would solve the problem of overpopulation and Nelson Mandela would solve the problems of Africa…

     Overpopulation was the "Global Warming" of the earliest 1960's.   And "Sub-commandante" Marcos, a person with a medical degree…coming from an extremely well-placed social position in Tampico, Tamaulipas, Mexico)…decided to pitch in so as to save the "unwashed masses" who did not love Marxists and Ho and Chou and Mao, and all the skeletons of Pol Pot's effort to make a "perfect society".   He (Marcos) frose reasonable development in the southernmost (non-Yucatan) portion the Mexican Republic (this begin the early to latter nineties)  The various "Indian nations" (actually just remote villages of a few hundred or 1,000 usually, in Oaxaca, Chiapas, and Tabasco) returned to their habit of severe violence towards others (almost all, other Indians) when there was a land dispute, sometime involving two or three acres.

     American college / university  and "students" throughout the world, and the preface leftist "community" banged drums, broke bank windows, beat up their parents, etc.    Smoking dope and begging on the streets was much better than gaining a living during the late 1960s and onward towards the Present.

     Reseaonably enough,  that profession has gained…very gradually…more and more respect during the years of America's supposed decadence.   We say "supposed decadence" when one could have witnessed the "dressing-down" of an American Vice-President when that person, with his wife, had gone to honour the stage presentation based around the life of an American icon. "HAMILTON" was the name of that stage presentation in New York…perhaps on Broadway.
    Ironically, it was the cast who ridiculed and baited the Vice-President with taunts even as he was seated and respectfully awaiting the presentation of the play.   The cast and crew were, of course, a three-dimensional depiction of how white-trash look and act.

More Latera lot of interruption from the "Google and associated"  freedom of the press people.
