The truth may set you free, but finding the truth is like playing tennis. You don't get a hint of it until you've returned the volley about three or four times. The mainstream media counts on the masses never returning what's served up. Journalism today has become a caricature not unlike what Robert Lynd describes by saying "Research without an actively selective point of view is like the ditty bag of an idiot, filled with bits of pebbles, straw, feathers and other random hoardings."

Governor Rick Perry Being Pushed For New Texas Flag

by Winsip Custer CPW News Service

Flags tell a story and none as colorful as the state flag of Texas. Given the name "The Lone Star Flag", this flag was first introduced to the Congress of the Texas Republic in 1838 when Senator William H. Wharton unveiled it three days after Christmas. By January 25, 1839 the state had its new flag. Containing the red, white and blue colors of the United States flag, the left side of the Texas flag alternatively contained a single white star on a navy blue background. This azure rectangle had evolved from the Burnet Flag that was adopted by Congress on December 10, 1836, but which had a golden star instead of white, a flag inspired by the 1810 Bonnie Blue Flag of the Republic of West Florida.

Ted Turner and Robert Duval in Gods and Generals.
Duval's ancestor, Burr Duval, was a Texas Revolutionary
hero who rode with James Walker Fannin, a cousin of
Samuel F.B. Morse whose telegraph lines ran along the railroad
right of ways. Burr Duval was the son of the first
Florida Territorial Governor.

The Bonnie Blue Flag, with a single white star on a sheet of blue, would evolve from the short-lived Republic of West Florida and decades later become, during the Civil War, the unofficial banner of the Confederacy. It was this flag that inspired the song "The Bonnie Blue Flag" which is featured in the Ted Turner film Gods and Generals.

Several leading entries along with the winning design.

But Governor Rick Perry's supporters concerned that the memories of the Confederacy will derail his chances of a Presidential bid, are rethinking the state flag of Texas. President of Conservatives for Renewing the Texas Flag, Amarillo businessman, Yul B. Puquein, had proposed a contest to redraw the Texas flag without the Bonnie Blue on the left panel. A graduate of the University of Texas, Mr. Puquein said "no one's more in front of the curve on supporting human rights and responsible leadership as Texas in the 21st Century. You cannot do away with the Stars and Bars, the Confederate Flag, without rethinking the Bonnie Blue. The contest which ended on June 25th, 2011 was won by a flag that will be dear to the heart of everyone who believes that the eyes of Texas are upon you," said Mr. Puquein from his Amarillo office. "Of course not everyone will be as delighted as I am, but that will not stop us from presenting the flag to the Texas Congress in January and just in time to avert any complaints that would in any was harm Governor Perry's chances at beating the Afro-American president we currently endure."

Aggies Against The
New Texas Flag offer a possible
alternative design.

Bard T. Bolderman of the group Aggies Against The New Texas Flag says that his group will file a law suit in Austin to prevent the new flag from being raised over the Texas state house. "Orange and red clash" said Bolderman who said that his group might favor, however, as a compromise, an orange Longhorn on a burgundy panel attached to the red and white horizontal panels and replacing the Bonnie Blue.

IT'S COME TO THIS

I have come to the conclusion that capitalism is successful primarily because it can impose the majority of the costs associated with its economic activities on outside parties and on the environment. In other words, capitalists make profits because their costs are externalized and born by others. In the US, society and the environment have to pick up the tab produced by capitalist activity.

Paul Craig Roberts,

Under-Secretary of Treasury,

Reagan Adm

I deeply appreciated Dr. Paul Craig Robert's evolution as a serious U.S. economist and analyst of the American experience in general, but what he is suggesting in his latest comments on the current state of capitalism was articulated prior in the Eco-Echo-Micro-Macro theory of economist Frederic M. Mellon.

New World Order 2.0

Paul Craig Roberts said of Richard Haass' speech to Goldman Sachs at which he called for a renewal of GHWB's call for New World Order, but calling it NWO 2.0....."Richard Haas speaks for the ruling establishment. You have to understand that what the New World Order means simply is U.S. hegemony over the world. It doesn't mean some kind of a world-based democratic government. It means the American Empire and, of course, what's in the way of empire is Russia, China and to a lesser extent Iran. So these countries are in the crosshairs. This is why we have so much animosity towards them and a proclivity to conflict. When Americans say something is going wrong in the world what they mean is that the United States is losing control and it needs complete control and the world is never okay until Washington has complete control over everything. It doesn't mean anything else. So this merging of the old NeoLiberal international interventionists and NeoConservative American world hegemony with the material interests of the military security complex and the banks because the more dominant the Americans the more dominant the American financial institutions. It means that the rest of you guys have got to get in line."
Well, when you look at the S&L scandal of the 80's and see that the key players were the Iran-Contra-CIA Deep State Mafios and see how the S&L debacle was prelude to the 1999 repeal of Glass-Steagall that prepared the way for the 2000-2008 rape of the nation and how the Goldman Sachs criminals promoted the housing bubble, Wells Fargo and the other 'too big to fail banks' showed their hegemonies within what is a clearly criminal enterprise and there is no disputing the fact that the U.S. of the Founders has morphed into a monster that won't jail and hang the thieves as Washington, Jefferson and, certainly Andrew Jackson, would have done.

Testing Viagra

Dr. Brinkley's sexual dysfunction solution was to surgically insert, with FDA approval, slivers of goat gonads into an impotent man's thighs. During the patient's two week convalescence staff members from Brinkley's Del Rio, Texas clinic drove them to Mexico where they visited the brothels. "Eureka! I'm healed shouted one overweight, middle-aged farmer from Iowa."
Believing that much of the hoopla over the efficaciousness of Viagra is contrived, members of the Old Men For Viagra Truth, OMVT, decided to put the product to a real test. "We took forty men to Mexico to a special hotel where we had assembled the ugliest women prostitutes from a one hundred mile radius. We called the UWF....Ugly Women Farm....and just as we thought. There is a mind/body relationship to Viagra that has nothing to do with the drug and everything to do with the mind. I'm not saying that it doesn't enhance blood flow, but the mystery of sexual arousal is still very much a mystery.

British Columbia Ice Cliff Collapse Prologue

On April 9th, five hikers in British Columbia fell as a sheet of ice on which they were standing gave way sending the five into a 1600' ravine. "It's prologue to the coming crash of the entire eco-system," said Brahtva Vinushirahna of the Center for the Study of Sudden Enlightenment in Katmandu, Nepal.
"A sixth hiker was dragging behind the others and lived to tell about the five sets of footsteps that disappeared at the ice-face's edge," said Vinushirahna. "Sudden enlightenment comes in many forms and sometimes it's followed by a quick extinction of all enlightenment this side of Nirvana, like when NASA Challenger's captain said 'throttle up,' said Vinushirahna, "or when the Deep Water Horizon engineers realized that their well was getting ready to blow. We are always standing on the edge of a new enlightenment that rearranges our lives in an instant....like Hiroshima and Nagasaki which is something to think about as the U.S.A. and Russia play roulette with the planet in Syria while stockpiling nukes thousands of times bigger than Fat Man and Little Boy."

The Death of the Middle Class

Central America during the 1980's and Iran-Contra was ruled by 40 families which the U.S.'s CIA supported with often brutal tactics like mining the harbors of Nicaragua which provoked the ire of Senator Barry Goldwater as an act of all-out war and a flagrant violation of U.S. law.

Donald Trump was elected on the premise that he would help avoid in the U.S. what occurred in Central America and the type of oligarchy that the Founders had opposed in the revolution against Britain. Killing family members of opponents....generally starting with their first-born....is an ancient throwback to jungle life. Better pray that Trump meant what he was saying about restoring the middle class and not about retaliations against the innocent so that we don't see here what happened in Central America as described by George Evans in World Literature Today in May 2007 when he wrote:

"Three Somozas ruled Nicaragua in the twentieth century, each a dark persona magnified and diminished by personal infamies and self‑interests that crushed their small, immensely complex nation into a mass of social, economic, and political wreckage it is still sorting out. During a familial succession unique in Latin America, backed by the gangster-like National Guard (Guardia Nacional), essentially a private army, plus dependable financial and military support from the U.S. government, the triad dominated Nicaragua from 1936 to 1979, monopolizing nearly every industry and natural resource in the country, from railroads to the skin trade, while looting it from the peaks of its volcanoes to the dirt floors of its poorest farmers. Only a deep‑rooted, relentless spirit of survival and resistance native to its citizens kept the country (the largest but poorest in Central America) from being swallowed whole."
-Lowell P. Wigglesworth

Reverend "Many Mansions"

"So Houston's Joel Osteen lives in a $10 million mansion in Houston's River Oaks? So what! It's no Howard Hughes estate! And what good is a beloved preacher if he cannot, will not, promote Jesus' idea that "in my Father's house there are many mansions?" if that is just left to after-life and not the here and now. Okay, so Joe Sixpack sitting on Osteen's pew won't live in that big a house, they can still dream can't they? With the subprime loans of Wall Street they could taste the dream even if only for a bit and though it gave one hell of a bad after-bite. I tell you that Osteen and Reverend Bob Tilton did more for promoting the U.S. housing bubble based on faulty eco-metrics than the big banks and the Madison Avenue "madmen" put together and that helped to sell a zillion tons of can lights from Beijing while employing laid off steel mill workers in the construction trades....especially in "Oil City". You simply cannot ask everyone to be a Martin Luther or John Knox or Dietrick Bonhoeffer any more than you can expect the scientists to be looking to real alternative sources of power like Copernicus and Galileo looking beyond the earth's tiny little part of the universe. That might blind them! Jesus Christ!

On Rejecting A Presidential Pardon

"Lowell P. Wigglesworth said that Sterling would make a much stronger statement by refusing either President's pardon. He said that the American 'Imperial Presidency' has lost sight of its original charter to uphold and protect the Constitution which within the Western Judeo-Christian Tradition is based not on divine right of kings or the above-the-law narcissism of the Presidency as it has evolved. Wigglesworth has made that case that by Sterling summarily refusing the pardon when it is offered says more about what he was doing to protect the Constitution upon which common Americans have stood against tyranny than accepting it ever could. Acceptance would imply guilt. There was no guilt in this case and the runaway misuse of the Espionage Act is proof that the guilt lies with the government, not men and women like Sterling."

-Zuzu Liebowitz

One Candle Christmas

After falling off of a ladder trying to hang Christmas lights from his house's second story, Rufus "Frackhappy" Rumbledown, a man who has made a nice living hydraulically fracking for oil, said "I joined the Christophers at the hospital. They said 'it is better to light one little candle than to curse the darkness' and after the fall I was cursing Christmas and oil and everything else associated with ostentatious expressions of ding-batted bimbology. From now on Christmas is going to be celebrated with one little candle, damn it.....I mean hallelujah, amen."

WIGGLESWORTH ON TRUMP VICTORY

Historian Lowell P. Wigglesworth has said of the election, "Mr. Trump's mother was Mary Anne McLeod Trump, of the clan McLeod that ruled the Scottish Isle of Lewis. In 1844 the Isle of Lewis was purchased after much infighting among the McLeod clan by Sir James Matheson, founder of the Scottish China Trading company of Jardine Matheson that shadowed the British East Indian Company and then Caleb Cushing's American minions. Trump is well aware of the relationship between the New England power elites whose secret establishment and hidden profit centers built as they are on the dialectic of weapons and pain killers are behind the current war profiteering that General Smedley Darlington Butler outlined in his book War Is A Racket and which General Dwight D. Eisenhower said was the real danger to America's greatness as a nation. This dialectic works for a while as it did in the old Roman empire, but a reliance on the globalization of empire has been the ruin of every empire since our human trek out of Africa's riff valley or the mythical Garden of Eden. If Mr. Trump has any notion of making America great again on the post-Revolution 1833 movement of the Cushings, Tafts, Huntingtons, Russells, Heards, Delanos, Cabots, Lodges and other New England whalers turned oil and opium dealers and their faulty dialectic he will only speed the U.S.A.'s decline."

CLINTON FOUNDATION'S MONEY FROM SAUDI & QATAR

Why is it so troubling that the Clinton Foundation received money from Saudi & Qatar as evidenced by Julian Assange's interview on 11/4/2016?

"The answer comes by comparing the 1992 Peter Brewton book, The Mafia, CIA and George Bush. In it the Saudi royal banker for Prince Bandar Bush and by association the Bin Laden Group was Khalid Bin Mahfouz who bought the Houston Gulf Manor Airport for Osama Bin Laden's older brother, Salem. Khalid Bin Mahfouz's business partner in Texas was GWB's Texas Air Nation Guard roommate, James R. Bath. In 1992 the FBI's FinCen investigation into Saudi influence peddling in the USA stood down as it focused on Bath. Had it been taken seriously it would have surely led to the 911 plot. Nothing has changed as the Saudi money funneling into the Clinton Foundation and as the Bush family support of Hillary has shown," said Fabian Colbachi who provided the WikiLeaks document showing how Great Britain's libel laws are used by Mahfouz to stifle free speech:

The case arises from the Kafkaesque position of the writer Rachel Ehrenfeld, whose book, entitled "Funding Evil", examined the flow of money towards extremist organisations that preach the ideology of hate associated with Wahhabism and other democracy-denying aspects of fundamentalist Islamic ideology. It is not exactly a secret that a great deal of the money that has financed fundamentalist extremist organisations that support jihad has come from Saudi Arabia. Ms Ehrenfeld's book, which was published in America, not Britain, named a Saudi billionaire called Mr. Khalid bin Mahfouz. Although the book was published in the United States, and was not on sale in any British bookshop, he found lawyers to sue in Britain. A British judge imposed a fine and costs on Ms Ehrenfeld, and said that her book should be destroyed, even though she was not in the court. No American court would have entertained such overt censorship. The fullest examination is vital of those raising money, sometimes ostensibly for charitable work, but which ends up promoting fundamentalist ideology that scrambles young men's and boys' minds and leads them to become terrorists. There is no freedom of expression in Saudi Arabia, so it is the duty of others to expose what is happening. With the help of British libel lawyers, Mr. Mahfouz has launched 33 suits against those who are investigating this important area of public concern. Cambridge University Press was obliged to pulp its book "Alms for Jihad", written by Robert Collins and J. Millard Burr, rather than face a libel action in British courts, which seem at the moment to side with those who finance extremism rather than those who seek to curb it. The case of Mr. Nadhmi Auchi also comes to mind. What is happening when Cambridge University Press, not some odd, little, obsessive publishing house, but one of the flowers of British publishing for centuries, has to pulp a book because British courts will not uphold freedom of expression?

By their association with Khalid Bin Mahfouz and James R. Bath, both of whom were on the board of directors of the Iran-Contra related Bank of Commerce and Credit International or BCCI, the Bush family are conjoined with the Clintons in the recent WikiLeaks emails of John Podesta relative to Saudi & Qatar.

"Add to this the fact that the 11th hour hiring of problematic media jester, Billy Bush, by NBC with its connections to MSNBC and Access Hollywood and the release of the 2005 Trump bus ride, given that Billy's father, the brother of GHWB, was an executive with Riggs National Bank that was fined for hiding the secret accounts of Chile's murderous dictator, Augusto Pinoche, and there's nothing opaque about the motivation for recent events," said Colbachi.

"Since 2013 Rachael Ehrenfeld's foundation in New York has had on its Board of Directors the necrotic core of the U.S. NeoCon/Zionist cabalists.....Richard Pearl, Michael Mukasey, James Woolsey, Nicholas Rostow, Leonard Shaykin. So when she outs Saudi royal banker, friend of Bandar and James R. Bath and GWB and GHWB, Khalid Bin Mahfouz, without running the evidence of his Saudi influence peddling through Houston, Texas, home of the world's leading frack-happy, benzene bubble-blowers and of Riggs National Bank owner, Joseph L. Allbritton, whose bank employed Billy Bush's daddy while handling the bank accounts of numerous world-classless despots like Augusto Pinochet, well, it's one big cloistered, smegma-lathered copulative assembly," concluded Colbachi.

Peter Rasch on Jack Lew

"We know that jobs involved in trade pay more than those that aren't." -Jack Lew at the Peterson Institute

Jack Lew is absolutely correct which is why the families of Caleb Cushing and his galaxy of family members and close associates and those of David Sassoon are historically so wealthy.

This is why I counsel my children to go in importing goods that have the highest repeat sales, the greatest protective trade barriers to keep the in-country market valuation at maximum levels, and to create their market amid the youngest members of the present Cushing and Sassoon legacy inheritors since they, too, have the most discretionary income and will provide the great long-tern return on investment.

STRUMFP-TIFIED

Strangely, the name Strumfp shows close connections to Bank of America's Hugh L. McColl, Jr. through his close NationsBank colleague, Rick Hendrick, who received a Presidential pardon for mail fraud from President Bill Clinton. By association, Linda Strumfp, Hugh L. McColl, Jr. and Henry Brewer Schacht are often linked in business periodicals and newspapers. McColl was the focus of an investigation by respected reporter and columnist Jack Anderson in 1998. Anderson rightly showed the partnership between Hugh McColl and Bill Clinton in laying the groundwork for the big banks to get even bigger. Sold as breaking Congressional gridlock, time would prove that the McColl/Clinton alliance would lead to the 2008 bamboozled meltdown. The passage of the Riegle-Neal Act was a Clinton's top priority, but it was resisted by Main Street banks and the conservative insurance industry. The bill provided that after one year, bank holding companies could acquire or establish a bank anywhere in the country without reference to state law. The big bank coup was nearly complete. It needed only the 1999 repeal of Glass-Steagall and the arrival of the Bush Neo-Cons. Shirley Locke Holmes, another independent investigative journalist following the John Strumfp and Wells Fargo story has consulted with genealogy analyst and cyber-system-probability-statistician, Domingo Itzak Rabinautillus. "Rabinautillus is an amazing resource for the analysis of the probability of family connections within the prevailing cultures," said Holmes. "Take the names Strumfp and Spanier," said Rabinautillus. "These are extremely rare last names and when they are searched through the Rabinautillus' algorithmic assessment tool we see that John Strumfp is married to a Spanier. The Spanier and Strumpf names occur in cultural circles very, very rarely together at the same time. In this case, at Penn State University where Graham Spanier was President of Penn State at the time the Sandusky/Paterno scandal erupted following years of cover-up that many link to the Omaha, Nebraska's Franklin Cover-up. Penn State trustee, Linda Strumfp, was not only the CIO or Chief Investment Officer of the Ford Foundation, but then head of the Leona Helmsley Foundation. Leona had her own serious problems with credibility like the Clintons. I cannot say for certain, but the probabilities are extremely high that these names appearing together, Graham Spanier and Linda Strumfp, John Strumfp and his wife's maiden name, Spanier, are NOT coincidental," said Rabinautillus. "It's an amazing connection if correct," said Holmes noting that Rabinautillus told her...."finding these rare Jewish surnames together in the same place at the same time is stranger than finding a blue quadricorn at a pink unicorn convention."

Where's The FBI?

Clinton's emails show any American that she flies in the face of equal protection under the law. Rand Paul rightly explained how Hillary's handling of her emails is indictable, but where is the FBI? This is the same FBI that stood down in 1992 on the FINCEN or Financial Crimes Enforcement Network that was investigating Saudi influence peddling in the USA. It's the same FBI that employed John Connolly in Boston. It employed Brian Bruh as liaison to the Knapp Commission or Serpico Commission that was so effective in cleaning up the NYPD that Bernie Kerik, NYPD Police Commissioner went to jail just after GWB withdrew his proposal to make him head of Homeland Security. Bruh went from the Knapp Commission to FINCEN and FINCEN could have captured the 911 hijackers if the FBI had stayed on the job and done what they were created to do. Frank Serpico was so certain that the FBI and Knapp did their job that he left the country! This is RICOH stuff folks reaching right into the halls of our most cherished, but hypocritical institutions.

ONE NATION UNDER OZ

"If I were a globalist wanting to tank the U.S. I'd stir the pot by having the future FLOTUS, a white European, plagarize the previous FLOTUS, an African American. That would help enrage the African American minority who already feels that the claim of white European exceptionalism is a fraud. Then I'd have New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani tell us we need to make America safe again when his NYPD command center was in the basement of the World Trade Center on 911. That's definitely comforting isn't it?" -Peter Pezonus

DALLAS' 1993 LEGACY

Following the 1993 Dallas Cowboy Super Bowl victory parade during which gangs of Black men and women brutally attacked Anglos in the crowd, Dr. Lowell P. Wigglesworth wrote:

"One of abolitionist John Brown's 'Secret Six' backers was George Luther Stearns, the Boston lead miner who tried to corner the lead market during the Civil War. He was asked 'will it be war or peace, Mr. Stearns?' Stearns said 'There are two men on the street fighting. Three out of four bystanders will egg them on and one will speak for peace. I'm betting on war.' Our Civil War was not about abolition of slavery as any African American who has suffered repression ever since can tell you. It was about a race for the rail route to the Pacific Ocean and the China Trade beyond...the racket of war, the military on steroids and the opium supplies from the Golden Crescent that created the British Empire and which we commandeered from the Brits. Bullets create pain and pain requires anesthetics in a dark dialectic of deterministic design. Targeting Anglos for reprisal is wrong because most Anglos have been as victimized by the bamboozle as the Blacks."

After the 2016 murder of five Dallas police officers Wigglesworth, hearing Dr. Edward Glaude the William Tod Professor of Religion and African American Studies at Princeton saying that "Obama is a snake oil salesman for Melville" wrote the following:

"Hispanics can tell you that their tranditions include the brutal repression of the Spanish Inquisition and the Claveria Laws that stripped the indigenous Philipinos of their names. There is nothing inherently righteous about any skin color or language. Cabeza de Baca was one conquistador like Smedley Darlington Butler or Henry Van Ness Boynton....two Congressional Medal of Honor winners..... who grew to see the racket of war as feudal....and they were not Martin Luther King and Mahatmas Ghandi. It's long past time for good people to take back their communities and to forge on the anvil of civilization a better way. Unfortunately the Angelo Dundees, Don Kings and UFC's, not to mention the Neo-Cons whose agenda was to spread war in the Middle East, even our national past-time like football that is marred with the 1993 brutality in Dallas having so taken up the military's bamboozling imagery that the racket of war appears to be the only option and winning. ' One Nation Under God'? Yes. KRATOS! Let's muzzle Kratos and tell Cormac McCarthy whose book Blood Meridian says matter-of-factly "War Is God" to stuff it up his rich ass along with his other books that no way match the essence of Herman Melville who celebrated the queer Ishmael, the queer Queequig and equally queer Billy Budd.....all looking for that better world.....like Melville....who died penniless and unappreciated."

Colin Powell Used A Private Email Server

Boston Democratic Representative Stephen Lynch asked FBI Director, James Comey, "Were you aware that Colin Powell used a private email server?" Comey responded "not 15 years ago, but I am now." I would have asked if that is the same server on which Colin took his instructions about yellow cake uranium? Since the internet was running in the late 80's can you find out if Governor Bill Clinton was receiving emails about the Mena, Arkansas CIA's Contra airport on a State Department or commercial server like Colin used in 2003 before we invaded Iraq based on a bamboozle for which Bill Clinton's bitch voted "yeh"?

Bill Clinton, Jeff Epstein and a Nation In Peril

Former President Bill Clinton was a much more frequent flyer on a registered sex offender’s infamous jet than previously reported, with flight logs showing the former president taking at least 26 trips aboard the “Lolita Express” -- even apparently ditching his Secret Service detail for at least five of the flights, according to records obtained by FoxNews.com.

Clinton’s presence aboard Jeffrey Epstein’s Boeing 727 on 11 occasions has been reported, but flight logs show the number is more than double that, and trips between 2001 and 2003 included extended junkets around the world with Epstein and fellow passengers identified on manifests by their initials or first names, including “Tatiana.” The tricked-out jet earned its Nabakov-inspired nickname because it was reportedly outfitted with a bed where passengers had group sex with young girls.“Bill Clinton … associated with a man like Jeffrey Epstein, who everyone in New York, certainly within his inner circles, knew was a pedophile,” said Conchita Sarnoff, of the Washington, D.C. based non-profit Alliance to Rescue Victims of Trafficking, and author of a book on the Epstein case called "Traffic King". “Why would a former president associate with a man like that?”

Epstein, who counts among his pals royal figures, heads of state, celebrities and fellow billionaires, spent 13 months in prison and home detention for solicitation and procurement of minors for prostitution. He allegedly had a team of traffickers who procured girls as young as 12 to service his friends on “Orgy Island,” an estate on Epstein's 72-acre island, called Little St. James, in the U.S. Virgin Islands.

NBC Today Show Pushes Yellow Paint

NBC's Today Show strongly recommended painting your kitchen yellow. Definitely NOT white, if you are looking for higher resale value. "People will be afraid that they won't be able to keep the kitchen bright and clean if it is white, but don't paint it dark colors either. A nice soft yellow is the key."
"We had a huge overstock of yellow paint," said Sidney Felsminski of Color World Paints in Chicago. "I couldn't believe that the wing nut on NBC was pushing our overstock. Thanks NBC," said Felsminski who said "white makes your space look bigger. Clean? Clean kitchens are not a negative for most people. Good god, ya'll, do people have nothing better to do than to study the minimal effects of white or yellow paint of house resale values?" Felsminski asked.
"I painted my kitchen in three colors. A dark mossy green on the wainscoting to hide the crap lower down....white in the painted trim and white subway tiles in the middle to give the illusion of clean and yellow cabinets and ceiling to give the illusion of sunlight and warmth," said Felsminski.

"I did not test Mateen for his job at Wackenhut," said Dr. Carol Nudleman Blumberg

Wackenhut had gone public in 1965 ; George Wackenhut retained 54 percent of the company. Between his salary and dividends, his annual compensation approaches $2 million a year, sufficient for him to live in a $20 million castle in Coral Gables, Florida, complete with a moat and 18 full-time servants. Today the company is the third-largest investigative security firm in the country, with offices throughout the United States and in 39 foreign countries. It is not possible to overstate the special relationship Wackenhut enjoys with the federal government. It is close. When it comes to security matters, Wackenhut in many respects "is" the government. In 1991, a third of the company’s $600- million in revenues came from the federal government, and another large chunk from companies that themselves work for the government, such as Westinghouse. Wackenhut is the largest single company supplying security to U.S. embassies overseas; several of the 13 embassies it guards have been in important hotbeds of espionage, such as Chile, Greece and El Salvador. It also guards nearly all the most strategic government facilities in the U.S., including the Alaskan oil pipeline, the Hanford nuclear-waste facility, the Savannah River plutonium plant and the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. Wackenhut maintains an especially close relationship with the federal government in other ways as well. While early boards of directors included such prominent personalities of the political right as Captain Eddie Rickenbacker; General Mark Clark and Ralph E. Davis, a John Birch Society leader, current and recent members of the board have included much of the country’s recent national-security directorate: former FBI director Clarence Kelleyformer Defense secretary and former CIA deputy director Frank Carlucciformer Defense Intelligence Agency director General Joseph Carrollformer U.S. Secret Service director James J. Rowleyformer Marine commandant P. X. Kelleyacting chairman of President Bush’s foreign- intelligence advisory board and former CIA deputy director Admiral Bobby Ray InmanBefore his appointment as Reagan’s CIA director, the late William Casey was Wackenhut’s outside legal counsel. The company has 30,000 armed employees on its payroll. We wanted to know more about this special relationship; but the government was not forthcoming. Repeated requests to the Department of Energy for an explanation of how one company got the security contracts for nearly all of America’s most strategic installations have gone unanswered.

Muslims & Hispanics

"With only two major branches of the Muslim faith worldwide those outside this religious tradition will be forever caught up in a religious civil war that, not unlike our own Civil War, was as engineered as the Transcontinental Railroad to profit the power elites. The Saudi royals control the high holy places of both Shiia and Sunni Muslims and they manage their civil wars just as the Cushings and Heards, Huntingtons, Russells, Tafts, Delanos and their minions have managed the American experience for their profit. Opium poppies treat pain. War creates pain. That's why the opium importers are also war racketeers. It's why Smedley Butler wrote his book...War Is A Racket. -L.P. Wigglesworth

DEPP the DIPP

I am delighted that Amber Heard is getting away from Dipp...ah, Depp. Amber is from Austin, Texas and few know that the successor to Col. Michael Aquino's Temple of Set is a professor of Germanic pagan traditions within the Austin Community College System who goes by the name of Edred Flowers. Few know that Dipp, ah Depp, hangs out on South Congress, like at the Carousel, not far from Cave X the place that Jimmy Joste's wife, Rhonda Glover, told the world is a really weird place....and that Austin, with Admiral Bobby Inman, Seymour Cray, Admiral William McRaven as head of UT as the Chancellor, focus of the documentary Dirty Wars, makes it weird enough. Then you have to explain why Johnny Dipp, ah Depp, supported the release of the West Memphis Three and why his close friend is comedian Doug Stanhope who is also the good friend of Alex Jones.....you know, Alex Jones, whose Austin radio station is supposedly explosing things from a city where the Cray computer-maker-spelunker has a building with a subterranean room that some say leads to Cave X. What the hell is Alex Jones, anyway? To me he normalizes panic attacks, renders rage relevant and sells you freeze dried survival food with an ungodly shelf-life...and he's good friends with Stanhope? Dipp or Depp? Depp's other good friend, singer songwriter, Bill Carter, could have told him...."the wheels of injustice, they turn mighty fast," and "from Amber's toe it just rips Dippy's ass."

Review of THE FIRST FROGMAN

Dear Terry Ann Reed, history teacher, thank you for pointing out that Elizabeth Kauffman Bush, the daughter-in-law of Prescott Bush, therefore the sister-in-law of George Herbert Walker Bush was the god daughter of the former Duchess of Windsor. That would be Wallis Simpson who met her future husband at the Coronado Hotel in San Diego, home of the USN SEAL headquarters that is built in the shape of a Nazi swastika. Suddenly, the criticism that Alan Dulles' contribution to the 1947 engineering of the CIA and the US intelligence apparatus comes into focus. A known Nazi spy in England, Wallace and the Duke were exiled to the Bahamas for the duration of WWII. The Windsors were, of course, the German Saxe-Coburg-Gothas and like Joseph P. Kennedy, Nazi sympathizers. Suddenly we can understand why in the same building with the former U.S. President's office building is a Thyssen company and why the University of Texas' new chancellor is the head of Seal Team Six and JSOC and the subject of Jeremy Cahill's DIRTY WARS and why Christian T. Miller's first chapter of BLOOD MONEY is dedicated to Col. Theodore T. Westhusing and why Vernon Loeb, who manufactured the stories of the death of Lt. Tillman and rescue of Jessica Lynch, who co-authored with Paula Broadwell ALL IN: THE EDUCATION OF GENERAL DAVID PETRAEUS (who as CIA Director gave the eulogy for Matthew Gannon who is not mentioned in the Showtime/Smithsonian documentary THE LOCKERBIE BOMBING)....Loeb.....formerly the Metro editor at the Washington Post is the managing editor of the Houston Chronicle.

Lowell P. Wigglesworth on Winsip Custer

Robin Ramsay wrote of Winsip Custer. Ramsay is editor of Lobster Magazine about which is written in Wikipedia: "The current curator of the CIA Historical Intelligence Collection, Hayden B. Peake,[11] notes that the editors of Lobster see it as "member of the international brotherhood of parapolitics mags," the other members being Geheim (Koln, Germany), Intelligence Newsletter (Paris, France),[12] and Covert Action Information Bulletin (USA), and is "distinctive in its depth of coverage, its detailed documentation, and the absence of the rhetoric".[13]"
Lobster's Robin Ramsay wrote:

Looking for information on Harrelson I found a 2011 story that a Canadian company, Imagis, which produced facial recognition technology, had run a photograph of Harrelson and the ‘tramp’ supposedly him and got a positive. The company spokesman is quoted as saying: ‘We at Imagis scanned photos of both the tramp and Harrelson and the persons in the two photos are 99.99 percent identical. It’s a match. Period.’
But the spokesman quoted is named Dr. Reeder G. Peepers, which sounds like an invention, and he is not on Google. And the company, which did exist, no longer seems to: my e-mails to it bounced and it does not have a Website. The blog on which this story appeared, five years worth of slightly wacky American leftism, is run by someone calling him or herself Winsip Custer – Winsip? – and many of the stories appear under the by-line CPW News Service, which is not on Google. Neither is there anyone called Winsip on Google – although there is a technology company with that name. I haven’t been through much of the rest of the many blog entries but those I skimmed through look real to me.
So the report is a spoof? If so, a very elaborate spoof, and by someone who knows this subject. For the second half of the article describes another Imagis comparison of people in a photograph of some of the CIA’s Operation 40 members, in a restaurant, which identified among the men at the table a young Porter Goss, who later became director of the CIA.

Seasons of Sleaze, Montgomery Blair Sibley and the 2016 Election

Today,
I have filed at the U.S. Supreme Court my Application for A Stay of Restraining Order directed to the Honorable John G. Roberts, Jr. , Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. Notably, in that Application, I unequivocally stated the following: To be clear, if Sibley is not allowed to file his Motion to Modify the Restraining Order and thereafter does not promptly receive a fair and impartial hearing on that Motion, he will justifiably consider the Restraining Order void as a result of being denied such a hearing by the District Court, Circuit Court and now this Court. In that event, Sibley will simply release publicly the Verizon Wireless Subpoena Return records containing the names and addresses of eight hundred fifteen (815) Washington D.C. clients of the D.C. Madam’s escort service. Not a threat, but a promise. And, to date, I have been a man of my word.

"The D.C. Madame's former attorney, Montgomery Blair Sibley, wants to drop a nuclear bomb into the 2016 Presidential election. Debra Jean Palfry, the D.C. Madame, whose "black book" ABC News kept out of the news with its 10,000 names is now being held like Damacles' sword over the U.S. political process. That Sibley is of the historic family that donated Blair House to the U.S. government and ran Western Union is the son of Harper Sibley, founder of the Ocean Reef Club in Key Largo Florida, is an amazing development. The Ocean Reef Club is featured throughout the 1992 book by Peter Brewton, The Mafia, CIA and George Bush: Corruption, Greed and Abuse of Power in the Nation's Highest Office. Brewton's book was derailed by Simon & Schuster in 1992's run up to the Presidential Election between George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton and Ross Perot. Palfrey reportedly hung herself, but told her family and friends that if she is found dead, 'don't believe anyone who says I killed myself.' If it seems that we are still in the 'wild West' it's because we are!"

Merrick Garland

"Merrick Garland graduated summa cum laud from Harvard Law as the valedictorian of his class. He's smart. He led the government prosecution of Timothy McVeigh for the brutal Murrah Federal Building bombing in Oklahoma City. Garland took the lead in prosecuting the Unabomber whose fear of technology, though increasingly well-founded, led with his untreated paranoia to the very violence against humanity that he saw coming in industrialized inhumanity. Merrick Garland was Obama's colleague in Chicago and close to George Ball's law firm, Sidley Austin, George Ball being a senior director with the New York investment firm of Lehman Brothers Kuhn and Loeb, a firm covered extensively in Anthony Sutton's book America's Secret Establishment. The collapse of Lehman Brothers led directly to Hank Paulson's 2008 bailout on the heels of Alan Greenspan's "put" following the 1982 deregulation of the S&L's and the 1999 deregulation of Wall Street with the repeal of Glass-Steagall that led directly to the current $20 trillion national debt and the collapse of the middle-class.

Sidley Austin, the firm for which both Obama and Michelle worked in Illinois, merged in 2000 with Brown & Wood, the firm that had just moved to the World Trade Center Towers, but of its six hundred employees lost only one on 911. Sidley Austin had to rescind a job offer to Harvard Law School grad, Brian Schroeder, when he mysteriously and inexplicably torched the 911 chapel at Ground Zero. Brown & Wood had longstanding ties to the what U.S. Marine General and two-time Congressional Medal of Honor winner and author of the book War Is a Racket, Smedley Butler, called "the National City Bank Boys". Ball was opposed to the Vietnam War because he felt that Europe had a greater stake in the outcome of Vietnam's future, a region historically controlled by David Sassoon and the British before the French leading to the Boxer Rebellion and eventually the Chinese Cultural Revolution. Ball said he felt that Europe's unity was improved by America's absence from Indo-China, a historic transshipment point for David Sassoon's and the British East India Company's opium interests in China and opium supplies from the Golden Crescent in the Middle East. Ball was an original member of the Bilderberger Group. Ball was, like GHWB, a U.S. Ambassador and succeeded Arthur Goldberg as UN Ambassador for the U.S.. Should we be worried that Obama has made this appointment and that the Mormon mainliner, Orrin Hatch, supports it right out of the shoot? You tell me!"

AAUP, Mizzou, Melissa Click and Enron

According to William Schmitt, reporter for the Columbia Missourian newspaper, Melissa Click, the embattled teacher from the University of Missouri who attempted to banish the free press from the campus of CBS anchorman, Walter Cronkite, and a leading U.S. journalism program in the league of Columbia University and the University of Texas where Cronkite also attended school, the American Association of University Professors has asked for Ms. Click's reinstatement.

This follows her conviction on a misdemeanor assault charge. "I am waiting for an announcement from Richard Kinder, the Missouri/Texas business man who made fortunes at Enron and who used some of the $11 billion net worth to fund the University of Missouri's Kinder Institute for Constitutional Democracy to make a bold and decisive statement in defense of jettisoning from American campuses the type of fear factor and intimidation that Ms. Click seemed to be promoting along with her cohorts including "anonymous student 1950" who was working alongside Ms. Click when she was caught on video," said Dr. Lowell P. Wigglesworth. It was this video that went viral and whose makers were working for ESPN.

Wigglesworth, author and authority on the manipulation of U.S. history into myth, believes that without Kinder's statement to the Mizzou board or regents "an education in the U.S. will be as worthless as Jeff Skilling's and Enron's 'hypothetical future value'."

TRUMP NO SOLOMON

"Donald Trump is no Solomon. Solomon, you remember, was eyeing the Queen of Sheba. If Donald had been wise he would have taken at least one wife that I'll call 'Nubian-Nacho', perhaps a Caribbean girl from Ipanema of mixed Spanish and African dissent. As is it with his KKK brain fart he comes off looking like all the other anglophile ass-holes who in the end....like the Hatfields and McCoys or Sutton and Taylors.... hate each other as much as they do everyone else like Shias and Sunnis and Hutus and Tutsis or like Helsinki or Stockholm syndrome-suffering Jews marching their own kind into the showers.

GITTIN MO: APPLE SAUCE, THE FBI AND THE NSA

So after eight years we have Obama finally looking to close GITMO? My, my. We also have Ted Olson whose wife made those phone calls from the airplane on 911, you know, the one that went into the Pentagon, but left no clear evidence and an impossible crash senario, serving as Apple's attorney and defending Apple against providing a back door to encryption? Plus Michael Hayden, the Heinrich Himmler look-a-like, now of the Chertoff Group, is defending Apple against the attack by FBI Director James Comey? There is a lot more going on here than meets the eye. I'd suggest that if people want to protect their secrecy they should use two tin cans and a string to talk to each other remembering what Ed Snowden told us about the NSA, what Coleen Rowley told us about the FBI and what happened to Randy Weaver's wife and child at Ruby Ridge.

Clinton's Gift To 2000-2008

In 1999, Democrats led by President Bill Clinton and Republicans led by Sen. Phil Gramm joined forces to repeal Glass-Steagall at the behest of the big banks. What happened over the next eight years was an almost exact replay of the Roaring Twenties. Once again, banks originated fraudulent loans and once again they sold them to their customers in the form of securities. The bubble peaked in 2007 and collapsed in 2008. The hard-earned knowledge of 1933 had been lost in the arrogance of 1999.

-James Rickards, US News & World Report, 2012.

The Big Bamboozle

Reagan never really was the president. He was the front man. They selected a guy that had charisma, who was popular, and just a good old boy, but they got George Bush in there to actually run the White House. They’d let Ronald Reagan and Nancy out of the closet and let them make a speech and run them up the flagpole and salute them and put them back in the closet while these spooks ran the White House. They made sure that George Bush was the chairman of each of the critical committees involving these covert operations things. One of them was the Vice President’s Task Force On Combating Terrorism. They got Bush in as the head of the vice president’s task force on narcotics, the South Florida Task Force, so that they could place people in DEA and in the Pentagon and in customs to run interference for them in these large-scale international narcotics and movement of narcotics money cases. They got Bush in as the chairman of the committee to deregulate the Savings and Loans in ’83 so they could deregulate the Savings and Loans, so that they would be so loosely structured that they could steal 400, 500 billion dollars of what amounted to the taxpayers’ money out of these Savings and Loans and then bail them out. They got hit twice: they stole the money out of the Savings and Loans, and then they sold the Savings and Loans right back to the same guys, and then the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation -- the taxpayers money -- paid for bailing out the Savings and Loans that they stole the money from ... and they ran the whole operation, and Bush was the de facto president even before the ‘88 election when he became president.

POST-MODERN TALK

For the normative self-understanding of modernity, Christianity has functioned as more than just a precursor or catalyst. Universalistic egalitarianism, from which sprang the ideals of freedom and a collective life in solidarity, the autonomous conduct of life and emancipation, the individual morality of conscience, human rights and democracy, is the direct legacy of the Judaic ethic of justice and the Christian ethic of love. This legacy, substantially unchanged, has been the object of a continual critical reappropriation and reinterpretation. Up to this very day there is no alternative to it. And in light of the current challenges of a post-national constellation, we must draw sustenance now, as in the past, from this substance. Everything else is idle postmodern talk.

Dan Rather's CBS Law Suit

Eric Mink of the Huff Post (11/5/15) gives us the reason why whoever was handling Dan Rather's law suit against CBS for not backing up the Rather and Mapes Ellington Field story should also have been sued for mismanagement of the their legal case. CBS's "investigation" into the Ellington Field Memos of GWB was prejudicial from the start and CBS was a party to another Bush bamboozle. Here is what Mink says: CBS' corporate chiefs then hired a two-person panel to investigate how their own news division produced the report. One of the two people was Dick Thornburgh, a former U.S. Attorney General appointed by President Ronald Reagan and reappointed by President George H.W. Bush, George W.'s dad. Thornburgh's law firm staff handled the leg work and prepared questioning sessions that, oddly, were not transcribed.
This was a "slam dunk" for a Rather victory in the courtroom....any normal courtroom! The only...only conclusion... that can be reached is that Rather is either an idiot, another simple pedestrian moron, or was part of the Bush bamboozle. Mary Mapes....if she was not part of the bamboozle should have been asking...."What is the frequency, Kenneth?"

-Melvin "Racehorse" Bell Ayes

Truth Rather Disappointing

Mary Mapes and Dan Rather must have signed off on James Vanderbilt's script of TRUTH. That script does not mention Brigadier General Belisarios Flores with whom Mary Mapes had already talked of the Bush "fraud" (TRUTH and DUTY, pp. 84-85). Truth leaves out the story of a real-life type of Kaitlin Costello Price from the courtroom drama, THE VERDICT, the woman who actually typed Killian's memos and confirmed the content and that the copies were not the ones Killian had typed up back in 1972, but essentially contained the same information, Mrs. Marian Carr Knox. By excluding Knox's convincing footage aired on 60 Minutes on September 15, 2004 is to kill the truth. Nor was the fact that her son, Pat Carr, defended her against the attack by Thornburgh, recorded by USA Today as a meeting between Dick Thornburgh and Knox after her interview. Vanderbilt's TRUTH does not go into the background of Dick Thornburgh and his own problem with memos....specifically "The Thornburgh Memo." In all, just what the Vanderbilt movie is and why it was released now is as big a mystery as why the story wasn't told in 2000 when it could have really meant something. -Winsip Custer

Obama's Father Was Malcolm X?

It has been widely reported that Obama's father was Malcolm X. Well, it's an interesting hypothesis based on their photos, but believe me, with Malcolm X's six children and their children's DNA available for a kind of Sally Hemings and Thomas Jefferson analysis, it would have already been done. No, I'd say you'd have a better chance of proving from the DNA evidence that the 1850's filibusterer, William Walker, who tried to take over Honduras in the mid-19th Century is an ancestor of George Herbert Walker Bush and judging their pictures, as is being done with Obama and Malcolm and the two are a dead heat. Why not do DNA on both of them and just let the wood chips fall where they may? Pull hair from the grandchildren of Malcolm X , some DNA from Barack and dig up the body of William Walker in Honduras and get a sample of GHWB's saliva or blood. Present the findings at the National Press Club or, better yet, at half-time at the next Super Bowl.

From Horatius by Macaulay

Then out spoke brave Horatius, the Captain of the Gate: "To every man upon this earth, death cometh soon or late; And how can man die better than facing fearful odds, For the ashes of his fathers, and the temples of his Gods, And for the tender mother who dandled him to rest, And for the wife who nurses his baby at her breast, And for the holy maidens who feed the eternal flame, To save them from false Sextus, that wrought the deed of shame? Hew down the bridge, Sir Consul, with all the speed ye may! I, with two more to help me, will hold the foe in play. In yon strait path, a thousand may well be stopped by three: Now, who will stand on either hand and keep the bridge with me?' Then out spake Spurius Lartius; a Ramnian proud was he: "Lo, I will stand at thy right hand and keep the bridge with thee." And out spake strong Herminius; of Titian blood was he: "I will abide on thy left side, and keep the bridge with thee."

Birds of a Feather

From whence came this two-headed eagle, and how came it to be associated with Scottish Rite Masonry? The last part of this question is easier to answer than the first, for there is direct testimony that Frederick of Prussia supplied this crest during the formative stages of the Rite, but neither Frederick nor indeed Prussia could claim the exclusive right the use or to bestow it. It is the imperial emblem of Russia, Austria, Serbia and other portions of the disrupted Holy Roman Empire, and Prussia adopted the emblem long after it had flown over Byzantium as the royal arms of the "Emperors of the East and West." -The Builder, 1923

Roger Waters On Anti-Semitism

From Pink Floyd musician, Roger Waters, to Rabbi Cooper following his claims that the music group was anti-Semitic:

NAZI? Not only did my father, 2nd Lieutenant Eric Fletcher Waters, die in Italy on February 18th 1944 fighting the Nazis, but I was brought up in post war England where I received the most thorough education on the subject of Nazism and where I was spared no horrific detail of the heinous crimes committed in the name of that most foul ideology. I remember my mother’s friends Claudette and Maria, I remember their tattoos, they where survivors, two of the lucky ones. My Mother spent the whole of the rest of her life, involved politically to make sure the future for her children and grandchildren, in fact for everyone’s children and grandchildren, black, white, Gentile, Jew, Latino, Asian, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, et al, had no Sword of Damocles in the form of the despised Nazi Creed hanging over their heads. I for my part, as best I can, have continued along my parent’s path. At the age of nearly 70, in the spirit of my Father and Mother and all they did, I have stood my ground, as best I can, in defense of Mistress Liberty. The Wall Show, so lamely attacked by you, is many things. It is thoughtful, life affirming, ecumenical, humane, loving, anti war, anti colonial, pro universal access to the law, pro liberty, pro collaboration, pro dialogue, pro peace, anti authoritarian, anti fascist, anti apartheid, anti dogma, international in spirit, musical and satirical. It is not. ANTI-SEMITIC or PRO NAZI

Fury: Brad Pitt Spam In A Can

"In the recent film Fury, the Sherman tank soldiers and the Nazi Tiger tank drivers are unaware that the nations for which they are both warring are paying for the patented technology rights to the same company that developed the tank tracks propelling their guns. Initially made for farmers plowing fields the tracks were fitted with guns shooting lead and sulfur-based gun powder....today depleted uranium shells. Talking about beating plowshares into swords! On the battlefield of war there is only one question: 'Would you rather be a hammer or a nail?' Where every tool is either a hammer or a nail sanity has taken a long, protracted and deadly hike into oblivion. This is the antithesis of what is needed for longevity in planetary subsystems.
The fact that Mr. Pitt was joined for this movies' premier on October 14, 2014 at the Washington D.C. Newseum, whatever that is, with retired General Colin Powell and U.S. Army Chief of Staff, George Casey, does not legitimize the dramatized, purposeful, violation of the Geneva Conventions which is a dark highlight of this film. This is what Noam Chomsky calls 'building consent for war'. Others call it 'war porn'. It normalizes lunacy and big budget, highly paid actors are not above jumping into the bilge water for the right price."

Atticus Finch Secret Bigot Award Announced

Central Mississippi State University has announced the establishment of the Atticus Finch Secret Bigot Award for first-time novelists who are able to mask the true character and sensibilities of their father behind the impressions of their young daughters.

This year's nominees are Betty Carter's To Kill Eight Wives: My Daddy's Royal Appetite; Joyce Ubermill's Little Women Looking Up; Golda Roberston's Scarlett's Letters To and From Rhett: The Bigotted Gay Man Who Hated My Mommy's Mammy and Jenny Weaver Smith's Little Whore House On the Prairie.

"This is a monumental event for the progress of women writers and the demystification of the American male," said Beulah Maude Seavers, chair of the university's creative writing department.

El Chapo Break Out Good News For Drug War

"Until we have the wholesale de-criminalization of drugs and tear down the wall of imposed restrictions that allow those who control the legal forms of narcotics to prohibit the illegal ones, there will be no sanity.

Consider that Peter Bensinger, head of the DEA, joined forces in his Chicago law firm with another former DEA Director, Robert DuPont, whose family name is synonymous with the American military industrialist complex that depends on gunpower, lead and anesthetics and you begin to see just how entrenched is the problem on both sides of the border.

Guzman is like a Manuel Noriega. It's up in the air about just who would want to see him in OR out and for what specific reason. But know this. His escape on the heels of the NY prison break and the murder of the young woman in San Francisco by a returning Latin American deportee is a huge factor in the consent for the militarization of the American culture and the Vichi-ization of the United States."

Newspaper Bamboozling

EVOLUTION OF THE FOURTH ESTATE

In a 1962 movie, former U.S. Marine and actor, Lee Marvin, played old West outlaw Liberty Valance. Valance beat up the local newspaper publisher, smashed his printing press and burned his office. Today, Valance would be considered an amateur. The outlaws own the papers and we're not just talking about Rupert Murdoch. The Washington Post published the fraudulent cover stories of Pat Tillman and Jessica Lynch as propaganda to win consent for the bamboozled war in Iraq. The author of those stories went on to co-write All In: The Education of General David Petraeus, an officer who could not have been more carefully groomed for his role in Iraq, nor suffered so similar a fall as that of Belisarius. This reporter newspaper editor is now in the Vatican, Mecca and Medina of Big Oil: Houston, Texas. This is the city where the Medical Examiners' office was so mismanaged that the leading investigator in the Iran-Contra fiasco whose leading perpetrators dodged prison sentences with a Presidential pardon, was brought in to investigate, paid by confiscated drug money before he moved on to the BP Deep Water Horizon investigation. The bamboozle goes on. Two-time Congressional Medal of Honor winner and U.S. Marine, General Smedley Darlington Butler called it what it is: War Is A Racket.

Ann Coulter On Jews

"You will learn from my book that in colonial America Jews were made citizens before Catholics were because they didn't like the idea of Americans being beholding to some foreigner. It was when Catholics became more American Catholics and less Roman Catholics that they were really accepted into American society. I agree. Who cares what the Pope says?" said Ann Coulter on Bill Maher's Real Time.

Jews are anti-primogeniture since King David. Oliver Cromwell liked this about them and invited them to return to England after Edward I, Longshanks, banished them in the 13th Century. Since Thomas Jefferson, the Bastille Day loving American was assigned by the first Continental Congress to write the B.S. British primogeniture laws out of U.S. law, the Colonists saw an immediate alliance with some Jews, but NOT with the ones who devolved into the subject of Edwin Black's book The Transfer Agreement and by association the willing pawns in what Black calls the War Against the Weak. Or, come to think of it, the Thyssen Bank's pawns in the U.S..... the Bush dynastic, primogeniture-practicing pud-dinkies....or those who use secret interlocking corporate directorates to re-insert that primogenitor crap back into American life like when you crib-share with Saudi Royals as if you are Ann Boleyn's little brother looking for leg up.

You cannot discount A. N. Field's book All These Things, published in 1931, which explains the situation in England as a result of Cromwell’s decision to ignore the law banning the Jews from entering England, and allowing them back in defiance of the law, only 33 years earlier. Field was a raging lunatic New Zealander/Austrailian Neo-Fascist which could help explain Mel Gibson's sensibilities, but on this score Field was correct about the problem of central bankers....which 2008 confirmed for us when over 90 percent of the local banks in the U.S. were solvent and not in need of Hank Paulson's bamboozled bailout for the too-big-to-fail banks while driving up the price of oil to over $140 a barrel. There was no strong legal provision in Cromwell's England against usury and as with England's introduction to Ashkenazi-controlled banking so the U.S. economy was soon controlled by Ashkenazi Jewish bankers like Marcus Goldman of Goldman Sachs. Field notes... “Thirty-three years after Cromwell had let the Jews into Britain a Dutch Prince arrived from Amsterdam surrounded by a whole swarm of Jews from that Jewish financial centre. Driving his royal father-in-law out of the kingdom, he graciously consented to ascend the throne of Britain. A very natural result following on this event was the inauguration of the National Debt by the establishment six years later of the Bank of England for the purpose of lending money to the Crown. Britain had paid her way as she went until the Jew arrived.”

It wasn't long before Wall Street controlled the flow of guns and ammo...specifically through Bernard Baruch who financed the sulfur extraction process of Herman Frasch which made gunpowder a more readily available and more profitable commodity. Put gun powder and munitions into the bankers' portfolios and guess what happens! War is good for their business....a rich man's war and a poor man's fight.

In reality, Queen Elizabeth, the little illegitimate daughter of Henry VIII had defeated the Spanish Armada well before Cromwell and the Jewish influx and she knew how stupid the royal primogeniture rule was....saying "If it had not been for Kent (which practiced gavelkind law an not primogeniture law) the whole of Britain would have gone over to the Spaniards." Still, this Judeo-Christian foundation of Western Civilization is beholding to this marriage between two strains of anti-primogeniture philosophies. Trying to bring this enlightened ideal into regions run by oligarchs and despots without the likes of Washington or Jefferson is a real challenge, perhaps impossible. On the other hand, the photo of Baruch, Churchill and Eisenhower meeting together in Baruch's Manhattan apartment after WWII is an eye-opening image when viewed after reading Edwin Black's The Transfer Agreement and War Against the Weak....Black being Jewish....and well aware that it is a far messier world than it needs to be. Ann Coulter was correct, but she didn't go far enough in showing the fuller picture. Come to think of it, neither did movie director Steven Spielberg in his Academy Award winning film, Shindler's List. Edwin Black's uncovering of The Transfer Agreement and the reality of the Nazi era financial arrangements with elite Jews were nowhere mentioned in Spielberg's movie. That makes it the equivalent of a white-washing of history covering over the Jewish, German and American power elites who hid the "Transfer Agreement" during the 1930's and 40's right on up until Edwin Black's book exposed it to the masses. This war against the weak knows no cultural, religious, economic or racial boundary.

POPE FRANCIS ON GLOBAL WARMING

WHERE'S GARY WEBB?

"Gary Webb would have peeled back the issues within the VA at the Tomah Hospital in Wisconsin like an onion. With 80-90 percent of the illegal opioids coming from the Golden Crescent where our military is in control, both the legal and illegal opioids flowing into the U.S., the soldiers at hospitals like Tomah, those consciencely-challenged who can carry out the charade are, according to the widow of Marine Jason Simcakoski, selling their excess opioids for housing down payments and other personal property. Kind of a post-deployment unexpressed benefit. Where do they sell them? Perhaps at Cabrini Green or South Central L.A.? The DEA and other agencies crack down on the "unauthorized" shipments....those from Kung Sa's successors. It's part of the racket of war as Smedley Butler and then Bo Gritz have attested.

Gary Webb would have told us, but don't expect Jeff Leen or Steve Coll to encourage Webb's type of journalistic tenacity from their protected perches on the shoulder of the war profiteers."

Ancient Ebola?

"So scientists are now telling us that the Ebola virus is about twenty million years old. The weird Marburg virus found in the German laboratory that created a small epidemic there leap frogged from African monkeys or bats or whatever to monkeys bound for Germany and then found their way to Zaire and on to Liberia and Sierra Leone or a slightly different strain came out of hiding and had nothing to do with the little leap froggers. But what if it was manufactured in a German lab like IG Farben's Zyklon B and it's not twenty million years old at all, but about sixty years old, but is looking for a longer genealogy....you know....back to dirt? With the ethics problems at the CDC this is no time for researchers to be making unsubstantiated or non-peer reviewed claims about such a potentially deadly anomaly. I say the proof of the pudding is in the eating. Well, maybe not in the eating, but you get my drift. Okay, so you say that no one would be so evil. Need I remind you that for fifty years after Europe banned lead-based paint because of the health hazard that U.S. paints were laced with lead and sold as a deterrent to nuclear bombs' searing effects or that Agent Orange was a good dependable herbicide or that black men with syphilis could find help in Tuskegee or that kids at Dr. Laura Benders' hospital in New York could get a legal dose of LSD to be her CIA mind-science study? Or that smoking was good for soldiers care packages especially Lucky Strikes? That mercury that is a thousand times more toxic than lead is put in vaccines while lead was being burned in your car's engine?"

Christians & Muslims

"Christians read from their book. Muslims recite from theirs by heart. Of course the Jewish/Christian Bible says that the "human heart is deceitful above all things." The subtle shift from the objective reading of an external authority, be it Bible or Koran, to the rote recital of the Bible or Koran provides a paradigm shift toward the authority of the speaker who can then insert his authority and interpretation into the process. We have seen this over time even within the Christian tradition. Ayatollahs often do the same, but what do you do when the Koran or Bible tells you that the earth is the center of the universe and you are Copernicus or Galileo or you happen to be an earthly monarch or Pope who thinks that these outspoken observers threaten your power and position within your shrinking world and mythic sphere of influence? You see the problem?"

"We are justified from the point of view of Scripture in believing that democracy is ordained by God." -Karl Barth

"There are two stories of creation. One tells us that we can subjugate and subdue. The other that we can cultivate harmony and work to restore the garden that has been corrupted. The first is about expansion and exploitation. The second is about peaceful coexistence. Both are screwed. The first will gobble the second and then eat its own tail in the process." -Vanidar Kolpultz

"My life is a delicate balance and as long as it stays that way I don't want it to end." -Larry David

Fond Memories

Remembrance Day is soon upon us, and with it all that Remembrance Day recalls. For me it always recalls Dietrich Bonhoeffer, the German theologian, and his execution at the hands of the Nazis following a two-year imprisonment. When I was in Korea I spoke with some European theologians about Bonhoeffer. What did they think of him? How is he viewed in the academic circles of German theology? “We find him too pietistic”, they said with a supposed superiority that disgusts me, “especially his book The Cost of Discipleship. Too pietistic.” Bonhoeffer wrote the book knowing that the cost of genuine discipleship is no little cost; he wrote it knowing that he himself would pay the price. Bonhoeffer said simply, “It costs everything to follow Jesus.” And university professors of theology, whose predecessors were cowards during the Nazi era and who now enjoy fat-cat salaries and immense social prestige and whose discipleship costs them nothing; they dismiss the man who followed our Lord so closely as never to flee the cross he ordains for his people as surely as our Lord himself has never fled the one ordained for him. Leonhard Goppelt, a Hamburg New Testament scholar who saved his hide during the war by pretending he had never heard of Jesus Christ and whose work I refuse to read, remarked to a friend of mine (Goppelt’s doctoral student*), “Bonhoeffer puzzles me; to survive all he had to do was keep his mouth shut!” How can a witness to Jesus Christ keep his mouth shut?

Confucius On Free Speech

Charlie Rose: Do you hold out hope for democracy in Singapore?

Lee Kuan Lew: Like American-style democracy? No. After all, your Constitution has in the First Amendment where you can say anything.

Rose Etta Stone: So the Oriental mind is incapable of free speech. Is that what the people of China feared most about the student standing in front of the tank? Copernicus, Galileo, Luther, Washington, Franklin, heck....don't forget Jesus and the Prophets....they all told it like it is! Free speech. Lose that and your people will be self-medicating in short order regardless of their standard of living. Confucius say, "bridled tongue lead horse to green pastures, barn or over cliff, but most often where he want NOT to go. Human who welcome bridled tongue not horse, but dumb ass."

Sulphur, Lead, Poppies and Medals

"When Kyle Carpenter received a Congressional Medal of Honor for his soldiering in the Helmand Province of Afghanistan I asked "what was so important there that he had to suffer like that and nearly die twice defending our honor? And would he walk away with the same conclusions as had Smedley Butler who won not one, but two Congressional Medals defending our honor in distant regions? Then I googled "Helmand Province, poppies" and got my answer."

Mental Health and War

Senator Bill Nelson (D-Fla): General Dempsey....they (our Special Forces) are now realizing that the stigma against mental health counseling....they're really trying to turn it around because it is performance enhancement.

General Dempsey: It started under William McRaven and now under Joe Votel....what they realized is that it is not enough to say it is not a stigma so they found a way to turn it around and call it a 'combat multiplier' so not only is it something you do after the fact, but you build in the kind of resiliency right from the start.

Dusty Ruffell: Excuse me General Dempsey, but does that resiliency include denying the kind of botched strikes that took place over Baghdad that were outed by Julian Assange in WikiLeaks? And how do you measure mental health in a war zone? Huhhh? Sir? Sir?
