National Reciprocity Push
U.S. Senator John Thune (R-S.D.) recently introduced S. 388, the Senate version of H.R. 226. This bill will allow a licensee in any state "to carry" in any other CCW state, just as for driving. This is a common sense bill, not a political statement. U.S. Senators and Representatives need to hear from you. Ask them to cosponsor and support S. 388 and H.R. 226. U.S. Senate at (202) 224-3121. Reps at (202) 225-3121. State of Texas rips major self defense bill, national leadership in key measure. North Dakota, not waiting for a miracle, taking action CATO Institute speaks loudly on self defense and D.C. guns. Statement on power sharing: Once some part of the government has control over anything, it's almost impossible for the people ever to take back any part of the control. More citizens should be talking about this. IJ is committed to the principle of separation of newspaper and state. Any time a BIG local paper has established free offices inside the local government, that's a serious conflict of interest! No government should create privileged information and allow its transfer to the public only through "exclusive" arrangements. Police state? Nah, no way 'cause "this land was meant for you and meeee." See another view if you don't agree? [ IJ never endorses ANY organization, nor solicits ANY advertising.] Socialism in its various forms is a very costly and potentially is a very violent method of governing. The City of San Jose has demonstrated that it intends to operate farther along the socialist continuum; i.e. as a "society of police only governance." Information of the cities and/or County of Santa Clara belongs to the public and to no other entity including any heretofore "privileged newspaper" or to any privately paid entity chartered to release information to the public. IJ will not tolerate or condone secretive governmental practices that will cause harm to the public in any manner. That includes the thwarting of ordinary everyday transfer of routine public information that should be made available to the public via non threatening and non exclusive means, including detailed police reports. Police reports are public property and must be available upon request in any free society. Now that this newspaper has fired the first salvos concerning the unmitigated corruption in The District Attorney's Office of Santa Clara County, the BIG local paper all of a sudden seems to have uncovered "a mess" that's been festering for decades, namely gross misconduct of "assistant DA's." That's nice, but too little too late. The BIG local paper sat by for decades while the lives of ordinary people were trashed straight into jail so that "a big public splash" could be made with all the convictions. During that time, cop after cop after cop after cop walked, shockingly, with only minor public citations after major citizen abuses. Cops who kill in this county walk immediately, most of the time. Sorry BIG paper, no one here is fooled by you, least of all at this paper. Maybe you should ask the FBI for some money now rather than to wait until you really do fold next year? They'll do it. They'll be coming to talk to you about it soon. Just basic police state stuff. This little paper sure sounds radical, does it not? Well, it's not a radical paper. It merely delves into the murky abyss that was heretofore unknown. Random Note on Health: Vitamins are potentially very toxic chemicals. When combined with prescription medicines they may even be life threatening. The so-called weight loss preparations frequently contain hot combinations of vitamins that may cause all sorts of distress. Pure Niacin is particularly hot and should be approached with extreme caution. Consult a professional heath care provider before taking any vitamins. Our favorite author and letter writer of all times? That would be Paul of Tarsus, sometimes referred to as the 13th Apostle. Surprised? He was too. Like what you see? Then pass this URL to other interested parties today. Other critical stuff: Across America numerous pension plans are coming due. Most notably, the public service pensions like Chicago's were never fully funded. A lot of cops could be on the street without any retirement, but that's just part of it. YOU will be expected to make good on all the payouts ready or not. Of course, YOU won't get much of anything if your pension, such as it may be, is handed over to the fed. Nice thought as you cross fifty-five or whatever. If things ever get really bad, you could fake a robbery at some convenience store. After a couple of times around, that should be fifteen-to-life which will ensure a place to stay, food and medicine until death. That's America's guarantee to you, the hardworking silent ones. Have a nice day now.

Any questions?
Eugene V. Debs Eugene takes the cake for all times when it comes to purely American social movers. Fortunately, much is available about him. His dedication to speaking the truth landed him in jail and his relationship with Susan B. Anthony was archetypical for any would-be columnists or future "minority" heralds. His accomplishments were absolutely stunning especially for his times of governmental repression. Yet, he remained a sensitive and warm person always, especially towards women. Don't miss Eugene this week on a terminal near you. American Police Beat - Offered as a courtesy to any officers or others needing "the cops viewpoint." None of that was available locally since a police state is in force here and a code of silence to go along with it. It's always tough in a police state. Hope this helps.
Did
you know that global warming is no joke? The latest research has shown that
smoke and soot particles have
shielded
the planet, blocking as much as 10%
of the sun's rays. That served
to
disguise the real warming that CO2 is
doing. Strangely, the last thing needed
now is clean air. If the air were
truly clean, the Earth would heat up
another full degree. In time a run-

likely would not exist without its highly unusual moon. The moon is a

Moving Day is Done Law Enforcement and Courts� Dumb Ass Award IJ hereby extends the "law enforcement dumb ass award" of the century to all the wonderful cops and courts of El Dorado County, Texas as they "worked closely together" in the most recent example of "what the police can do when they want to and will do as they may please." From most indications, the raid on the YFZ Ranch, home of the so-called polygamists, netted nothing except trouble and grief for all parties concerned. It's only a miracle that all the people of the most recent "unfit" religion weren't surrounded and killed in yet another Waco style conflagration. Apparently, someone in LE did manage to learn something through the years though with their limited IQs. It's another miracle in itself. Just imagine this, two miracles on the same day in the same place n Texas! That this is a "Christian nation," let the fact be
broadcasted fully well. Anything other than "the usual and customary
house religions" is simply not acceptable. More importantly, the police
with proper direction of the courts, know best what is and is not an
acceptable religion. As usual, the Although it is apparently incontrovertible that underage girls were made to have sex with older men, that in and of itself did not constitute reason to smash a whole organization and all its followers, just as for Waco. One has to wonder where the vaunted ACLU is at such a time? They must be busy with more important communistic pursuits now as with the great presidential election? However, one would think they would approve heartily of communal living since that would fit in so well with gulag style fair play for all? IJ has taken the position and will always take the position that sex has become the single most important point of justification for any and all attacks on society and individual citizens. Who better than the police, traditionally speaking, to "set the proper course" for all to sail since they above all others know so well what is correct and what is not, particularly pertaining to sex? It's always the image of "the little girl" who's being abused that gets poured out even on the judge's desk for his consideration. It';s just about as patented to anger a respectable man in an otherwise respectable position as would delinquency on income taxes, yet another reason to provoke a sometimes fatal action from a court. As far as sexual abuse is concerned in the United States, it is usually the natural father who is the offender, but no one anywhere would care to bother with that basic fact of life. It's far too disillusioning to consider. It's far better to consider "strangers" or "religious nuts over there" or some other bunch, perhaps even Jews or Gypsies as "the undesirable" elements of society. People seem to like it that way too, shades of Darwin again, but perhaps timely as organized society goes through its final throws before total socialism? From the looks of it, the YFZ people seem to fit the requirements for being "Jews, Gypsies or 'undesirables' " well enough. The raid on the YFZ was therefore an excellent dress rehearsal for LE so that they'll be ready for "the big one" whenever it comes along. By that time, they should have in place both the method and the means for "the final solution" to this sort of problem. First, they must work very hard to expand all terrorism statues and funding. Next they should begin digging vast pits disguised as new "mining" operations under dummy corporations. For that matter, the state of Utah already has an excellent open pit location ready for "the final solution" to be situated. Train tracks go right to it too. Our Muslim pals should pay particular attention to what could easily be in store for them since they like to build edifices and heavily inhabit them similar to the YFZ. No quarter will be given when the hell begins here. It starts with but one shot. That shot has been fired. Ratemycop.com Debuts Across U.S. Ratemycop.com, a new nationwide police rating service, is now available to the public. It has already tested the nerves of some of our nation's finest, but it promises to be a rejuvenation of free speech while shedding new light on the activities of cops. The web site is free and very friendly to work with. So far, the site appears to contain only positive reviews of cops and does not offer personal information. In lieu of police service record disclosures in most states, this new service is "a step in the right direction" when it comes to gaining insights into what is going on with cops. It's a clarion very long overdue. Now for the first time cops may find themselves having to answer directly to private citizens who have to pay dearly for them. Access to the system is not under the control of the police either. Only in America. Ahmajinidad Praises Obama ‘Lost’ Cleric Iran’s president, Mahmoud Ahmajinidad, was overjoyed to learn that Barack Obama “…was so willing to meet with me upon his (Obama’s) successful election.” Ahmajinidad made this statement after being shown the two year old photo of Barack Obama in tribal dress during a stop in Somalia. “That we should be so fortunate to have this brother among us is like a treasure,” added Ahmajinidad. Then he said, “Finally, the United States will be positioned to withdraw forever from the Middle East at the exact moment of Iran’s expansion. Only Allah himself could have conceived of such a great thing.” Along with those remarks he stated, “The death of Israel is now sealed through this lost Imam’s conviction and America will turn its own murderous dog upon itself.”
In statements he made during the Texas debate, Barack Obama pledged to “be willing to meet with and talk to our enemies as well as our friends.” Hillary Clinton echoed similar beliefs and both had few reservations about talking to the next Cuban leader, Raul Castro. “I want specific examples…of things that are in place”, Clinton demonstrated, as she set forth various conditions that would have to be “in progress” prior to a U.S. Presidential visit. It’s clear that the Democrats choose to ignore history since the U.S. met Castro more than half-way, on a number of occasions, until he announced that he was a communist on American night time television in 1960. A similar amnesia set in when both candidates mentioned NAFTA, blaming Bush for its passage when it was the Bill Clinton Administration that was responsible for it. As far as Obama's "visit" to Somalia was concerned, it was at the very minimum in poor taste. He took no time to honor the lives lost during the Somali uprising. It was still too soon for anyone representing the U.S. Government to pay any amount of homage to a violent terrorist inhabited land much less to offer himself up as a spiritual equivalent and supporter. Congratulations to SBX and Aegis Class Cruisers The shoot down of an errant defense satellite by the U.S. Navy, 21 February 2008, should come as little surprise. The event speaks volumes on current U.S. anti missile warfare capabilities. Russia seems to suggest that they are at great threat if the U.S. deploys anti missile systems in Prague or Warsaw, but they should have no fear. The U.S. can hit incoming missiles no matter where they come from. The North Koreans seemed to have realized this already. SBX stands for sea-based x-band radar. It’s much higher power and much longer range than the old broad band radar was though the same wave lenght. Hawaii is home base to the largest floating SBX platform in the world. It’s so powerful that the huge platform need not even leave port to function in a powerful defense role. Hawaii represents a very good location for the U.S. to defend itself and other lands from any eastern hemisphere missile attacks. Other sites in Italy probably will prove as good. These aloof floating installations are ready to prevent whatever the enemy wants to throw at the civilized world, discounting possible high volume attacks. Most of what Russia is doing now is geared to deceive the rest of the non intelligent nations into believing that a few buzzing Bear bombers will “send a message” to the U.S. That message was received decades ago and President Reagan responded accordingly with the “star wars” initiatives. That led to Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD), formerly Theater High Altitude Area Defense, and related technologies. This demonstration shot was somewhat overdue to the American public who has paid billions for “proof” that it all works. It definitely works. The footnote to the exhibition shot is that everything is in place and ready to go, Russia and world. Iran to Get Mini-subs From N. Korea In a futile attempt to make a point of home defense, Iran has contracted with North Korea for delivery of several small submarines. The subs are to be deployed in the Straights of Hormuz to provoke a U.S. retaliation. That North Korea could ship any arms for any reason is a matter of international concern. It could be terrible timing for Iran. The U.S. anti submarine warfare capabilities are very advanced and very well known. Worst case, Iran's new little subs will soon look like blackened hot dogs on a stick in the fire. It's not very likely. Best case, Iran stops well short of deploying anything geared to provoke a U.S. response. Local Issues Santa Clara County, CA continues to have various growth pains. In recent years, the Vietnamese have moved into the city of San Jose, CA and made their presence felt. Recently, a hot issue with the naming of the Viet business district has developed which has led to a lot of heated discussions. The locals are stirred up about the name of the Viet business district being set by the city council as The Saigon Business District rather than as the more preferred Little Saigon. It's a funny thing this battle, especially since the Vietnamese greatly displaced the Hispanics some years ago all along Story Rd. which cuts across much of the purely Mexican population. Few have stopped to reflect on just how swiftly the tables got turned like this. It's also worthy to note that the San Jose International Airport must now have Mineta in front of it in honor of Norm Mineta, the former Transportation Secretary. Likewise, the local train station is called Diridon Station instead of Cahill Depot or the Southern Pacific Depot. No wonder there's so much local bickering over the naming of public places. Renaming things is a function of the spoils of local political warfare. Most Americans have been fairly tolerant with a lot of things, but public names have created as many problems as have been solved. This is not the way things should be. No officials should get there names on anything public. That could be the secret to settling this latest falling out. The only time names should be on anything public may include parks both great and small, but not on buildings and for that matter no part of a city should have any special names. The Blood of Bhutto IJ usually has had foresight and timing going for it over the many years. Fortunately, the paper awarded the woman of the year merely weeks before Benazir Bhutoo's untimely death at the hands of madmen, while she was still alive. Just a small amount of security would have made a huge difference on the day of her death. The same could be said too for Mahatma Gandhi whose warmth and great affection touched the whole world. Though Gandhi lived in a different time, the problems facing him were somewhat the same, the ongoing human turmoil and the horrendous loss of life it represents. As for Gandhi, Benazir's life is not only a tragic loss for Pakistan, but the entire world. Benazier and Mahatma were in many ways cut from the same bolt of cloth. People like them never really die, they live on in ways no one could have imagined. Such was the case here in the U.S. when a Gandhi understudy, Martin Luther King, brought forward a whole new social movement for equality. May Benazier dwell forever with God in heaven. If any thing, notice has been firmly served to the doubters who think that democracy is out of style. It's coming just as before only more loudly than before. IJ Names Bhutto Woman of the Year With great pleasure IJ presents the Woman of the Year award to Benazir Bhutto for demonstrating extraordinary courage in returning to Pakistan in its most difficult hour. Her quiet voice is the voice of reason to many even right here in the U.S. If any one has the power to save her land and the region with it, it will be Bhutto. Congratulations, and may the force be with you.
Peterson Cop At Ease In Illinois Drew Peterson, the cop who's now a suspect in the murder of more than one wife, planned Stacy Peterson's murder much better than the last one. Wife number three, Kathleen Savio, had to undergo the indignity of a postmortem. No slip-ups this time as for Kathy, however. No body. No evidence of any sort. So, no postmortem to worry about with Stacy. Peterson had much more help from his underworld network of cops with friends. These boys run a little more than some broken down flee bag restaurants. They run some funeral homes too complete with crematories. There'll be no finding Stacy this time. It was all worked out in advance very well. Getting back to the 2004 autopsy of Savio, the "reporting officer" had never even seen the Savio body or the crime scene. After this investigation is complete, that officer should be identified and fired, particularly if the cause of death is changed, at least that much. Paul Tibbits Jr. Passes, Timely A-bomb Lessons Paul is at rest now, but he lived a long time and talked quite often about his Aug 6, 1945 bomb run in the "Enola Gay." It's been so heavily aired that there's no need to repeat any of it here. Thank you Paul, and at what a great sacrifice to you personally in getting yourself to the point you did. That won't be forgotten because you're exactly the type of person the U.S. produces so well, the instinctive leaders.
Paul is survived by his grandson also named Paul Tibbits, USAF pilot at Whiteman AFB. That Paul flies the B2 Spirit capable of delivering the B series H-bombs and others. His target will be Iran. Like his grandfather's, his mission will be very routine. He'll sleep very well all the rest of his life afterwards too. American ‘Federales’ United Drew Petersons are just another in the line of what is coming for American “law enforcement.” With the shrinking of the middle class come these new horsemen, the new American “Federales.” It makes perfect sense. For decades Americans have consistently sold out to “law enforcement” types. It’s bad enough to make a musical out of, probably titled Those Bad, Bad, Bad Cops, coming to a stage near you. Realistically, IJ has reported for some time just how far gone “law enforcement” is. In Santa Clara County, CA, Medical Examiners tend to be very lenient with murdering cops, so too In Illinois. “Officer” Peterson’s third wife died under very unusual circumstances, but he was accorded “the benefit of the doubt” so he could recharge and do it again. Only now is her “drowning” in a nearly empty tub being re-investigated. Stacy, the forth wife, is now missing, as if anyone needed to be hearing that name Stacey Peterson publically again. Wasn’t one Stacey Peterson enough? What name could be so cursed? This Stacey was mighty young too, but that’s a “Federale’s” prerogative. Cops are real “Randy Roosters” to start with, but man, this Peterson guy is a serial killer too. It’s a wonder his name isn’t Scott already. Murder by cop is one thing, but the whole American society continues to go down with each fell “enforcement” step. Just what is “law enforcement” trying to prove with its excesses everywhere? It’s getting to be a necessary daily question. Consider one very premature release of an inmate, Scott Chris Thomas, from San Quentin on 18 May 2007 that nearly resulted in two murders in San Francisco. Outwardly, it was a “mistake,” one that’s drawn plenty of heat. Inwardly, it smacks of Old Mexico’s procedures or check it “manana.” A lot of things seem to be “manana” these days, considering what the prison guards get in pay, averaging $100k yearly each. It’s not very funny, but it would make for a very interesting public relations ploy, that being one of “you really need us to protect you so, we’ll let this guy out for a walk to prove that point to you, Mr. John Q. Public. “ Now IJ would never stoop to such a back door accusation as this, but with all the emphasis in California on bigger-is-better for all things “law enforcement,” it wouldn’t be so far fetched to consider. To be sure, various “changes” have been made down at the old jailhouse just lately that include adding a second supervisor to each transfer department shift. However, that may prove the point of corruption rather than to abate it. Governor Schwarzenegger has added to the corruption theory by vetoing three recent very modest judicial reforms Instead, he supports frivolous gun control measures and seems more out of touch than ever with managing government. San Francisco appears to be the most poorly managed "law enforcement" district in the land. Recent government reports indicate that the middle class is shrinking. Strongly indicated is the fact that the top 1% of the population earns more than the bottom 50% combined. The disparity between the upper and middle classes increases each time incomes are analyzed. Gee, that sounds a little more like Mexico, just a work in progress. Next time you need a cop, don’t be surprised if you get a “Federale” instead. They’re everywhere now. A vacation break in Tijuana could be well timed for that reason and others. What’s in your suitcase? Japan's Big Secret, Artificial Sex The best kept secret at NASA and in Japan could be just how far along artificial sex really developed. Over forty years ago the Japanese started working on the problem and soon realized they had a big potential customer in NASA. The subject got quite a bit of attention but was soon dropped publicly. A TV serial was launched in 1960s to quickly capitalize up on that rumor, however. The show featured a truly bionic woman who like "Jennie" in I Dream of Jennie provided warmth and companionship. The original show was My Living Doll starring Julie Numar and Bob Cummings. Fiction often predates truth by decades. The writings of Jules Verne come to mind as powerful reminders of just how far things fictionally can be developed before their time. Dick Tracy's "wrist radio" recently became a reality, taking less than seventy-five years to go from cartoon to real. Flash Gordan's "death ray" was fiction less than thirty years with the first laser coming about in 1960. Of all the things ever dreamed up, the laser has been the single most revolutionary and broadly functional. Lasers are found in numerous household products today. Could it be that the market will soon have available a real functioning "human" who will perform just like one sexually and in other ways? Move over Ipod. You're nothing baby compared to what's hitting the market someday soon. Theology Today, Tomorrow, Beyond The time is coming when man will launch a manned mission from which there will be no return. That could be the Mars mission(s), and maybe not. When it comes to deep space, the concept of “what goes up, must come down” does not apply so well. When man or woman leaves planet Earth, without the possibility of returning, that man or woman achieves virtually the same status as a deity. To be sure, there is no “NASA” planning for this eventuality neither can there be in today’s touchy world. That does not mean that the situation is not going to occur or is just some dreamer’s philosophy. It’s all too real. The Mars mission, to be fair, probably must be considered one-way for the most part. It would be far better to look at it that way. Colonizing Mars would make better sense considering, among other things, the transit time required. That means kids at some point. It would very foolish to launch such a mission without planning for that. This is a very threatening concept. If children are born on Mars, that would constitute an indirect challenge to the Bible or other such texts. Childbirth may be one thing, but the simple fact is that man won’t be able to go to many of the places already identified having possible Earth-like planets. For example, the Sombrero Galaxy is at least twenty-five million light years from Earth. It is thousands of times the size of the Milky Way Galaxy and would require thousands of our years to investigate. Somewhere, there is a planet like Earth that will sustain life as it currently exists on Earth. For man to travel to these remote places, he’ll probably be doing it as embryonic life in a suspended state of development. It’s not so far fetched. Seeds that are thousands of years old still germinate when put into the ground as will the embryonic life forms sent to other planets far beyond anyone’s reach today. Sending embryonic man into deep space is as much a question of theology as any other manned flight would be regardless of the duration required or the method of transferring life. Not everyone is going to like any of these concepts, but they must be handled and overcome if man is ever to send himself into deep space. None the least of the problems to be overcome will be getting a spacecraft to last one-hundred years and longer. A cylinder could, but power is needed to drive at least one small computer for guidance and deployment of the pods. Very large Plutonium batteries could perhaps last one-hundred years. All systems would have to be very redundant. Putin 'Warns' U.S. The latest shot Premier Putin fired at the U.S. came during his visit to Iran, 16 October 2007. October has always been at least somewhat good to Russia. It's the month of change, sometimes for the worse. Oh for 1917 again, but realistically that wasn't a very good year for then incumbent or emerging leaders. This October may be some more of the same. Putin said that a military solution to Iran on the part of the U.S. was "unacceptable." One has to wonder from which viewpoint Putin is coming. If Putin imagines that the U.S. will sit back forever while Iran develops nuclear weapons, he should find some other statement to make. Things are changing, that much is certain. "Russia Feeling The Heat," reproduced below was published a number of months back. At the time, Putin seemed resigned to let Iran fend for itself. Lately, Putin's harsh tones towards U.S. officials and a few near incursions into airspace outside Russia's seem to suggest a new "war footing" in the offing. Could it be that Russia sees Iran as a major opportunity to get back into the superpower business? That seems to be what he is saying now. If that is the case, he's on thin ice and he knows it. Despite his concerns, U.S. strategic forces could hit Iran at any moment with complete confidence. However, that appears not to be the plan, for now. So, what is the plan and just why is Putin suddenly so happy to visit Iran when he was far more conciliatory less than a year ago? There's more going on lately. Putin is still reeling from the diplomatic fallout he engendered by ordering the killing of a former KGB agent in the U.K. He's been very busy with issues in the Ukraine, dealing with terrorism at home and also choosing his successor so that he'll still be in power. It's a very complicated picture and Putin himself can't completely count on a lot of things. He seems eager to rebuild the Russian military with new starry-eyed recruits. Yet, a total rebuild would be at least twenty-five years in the making, especially anything massive like rebuilding of the rusted-out submarine fleet his predecessors once so proudly sailed around the world. Despite all the newfound money in natural gas, there are more problems in Russia than he could afford to overlook by diverting too much money away from important social funding. So, what could he be up to? For one thing, Iran represents income in the form of technical fees for hundreds of projects. From a strategic standpoint, Iran is located in a good place. That's pleasing for a lot of reasons. Iran offers Putin, among other things, a chance to make his Khrushchev style outbursts in a more noticeable venue. He didn't care to do that at the U.N. for some reason though he's had ample opportunity. He should reflect on the failures of the Russian military in Afghanistan. That would help him a lot to achieve the correct perspective. Russia Feeling The Heat
- Previously Published Article Why else would the Russians be backtracking at such a late point in Iran's nuclear development? It really can't be about money though money is always a good reason. By arming Iran with nuclear fuel Russia would set itself up as the provocateur it has been traditionally to the U.S. For that matter, Russia has been the cold war style provocateur right along only now it's so damningly clear to everyone they can't afford it. With all the U.S. fleet in the region ready to inflict mad dog war on Iran, Russia has had to tread much more lightly. Even for them, it's tough to look like a responsible U.N. Security Council Member and at the same time fund the very reason military action would be required. Iran can't go along much longer on its present course, the course of total self destruction. Bush really has been effective and the Russians know this. They also worry that "star wars" is a threat to their nuclear missile fleet, and they don't like looking down a gun barrel anymore than the next one. Russia is very dependent on the rest of the world now. They're isolated and losing ground every day in many different ways. They need trade very badly and can't afford to be in the position of not getting along with the rest of the world. The turn around with Iran has begun and just in time. Bush would have pulled the trigger on Iran with nothing to lose. Russia's Putin could see that quite clearly. He must have. Otherwise, Iran would be rolling in isotopes now and on its way to oblivion at the hands of U.S. bomber forces. Only Cops Should Have Guns? The six Crandon, Wisconsin killings done by "officer" Tyler Peterson illustrate loss of control at its worst. However, of more serious concern is the paradigm that "only cops should have guns." This chant is parroted by nearly every liberal extremist in America, the argument being that "since they are so heavily trained, it just makes perfect sense." They then follow with the usual, "Guns are only for killing and since we have the police, no one should have any need for guns." When all the facts come in about the massive loss of life in Wisconsin, there could be even more surprises. Most of the time when mass killings happen, the person doing them was on or had been on Prozac or some other very similar drug. That was the case at Columbine, but many other times as well. There has to be more to this story. Rage of this type from anyone is not normal. A lot of people in Crandon are wondering how Peterson got a badge. A lot more people across America need to be wondering if "only cops should have guns" is such a good idea after all. Get Liberal, Get Beaten To Death More fun with cops worldwide. Just when everyone thought they were so safe, they woke up to the worst beatings yet. Have a gander at: http://prisonplanet.com/articles/september2007/210907_b_brutality.htm It's staggering to the mind just how well plugged in the world is to brutality. The Cost of War in Iraq From the looks of things, it's not so expensive that the rest of the hostile world should take too much comfort in the end of armed conflict based on America's inability to pay for it.

Opposing view: The United States has NEVER been mislead by a more corrupt administration. It makes me sad to think that this idiot in the White House is getting away with this. How many more Americans have to die before we do something? Chris Rodehaus, please print this statement. IJ's rebuttal: Chris, although your concern is a well intended one, it's a bit idealistic. War is inevitable. Madmen want it that way and our government is left with very little choice in the matter. Thank you for your submission today. Remembering

The Fight to End 'Amnesty' Here's a link to explore. This should help to get everyone up to speed as to what is going on and why "amnesty" is a new curse word in America. "You don't know what you've got 'till it's gone." IJ does not endorse any organization nor receives any advertising revenues or financial support from any individual, groups of individuals or their proxies. If you're tuning in late, the government, the Democratic Party and hostile organizations like Moveon.org want the American people disarmed, jobless, without a military and totally on the defensive. It's really just a question of time before all these forces come together to ensure that there'll be no middle class left. After that, America will die with a whimper. This has to stop. The only way it may be stopped is through individual acts of heroism; i.e., a complete and total rejection of starry-eyed manipulators, the kind that wrap themselves in American flags imagining themselves to be so much better than everyone else is. Few people in public office at this time are worthy of such office. This is a national problem that must be corrected. Be sure to vote, but vote very responsibly. The Boot of Authority
You'll receive what you pay for. Any questions? When Authority Has Only Power, No Brains "Some officers initially dismissed the CIT program as run-of-the-mill sensitivity training or extreme political correctness, but Cindy Schwartz, director of Florida's Eleventh Judicial Circuit Criminal Mental Health Project, says those same officers now marvel at the program's success. The CIT model has received numerous awards from nationally recognized mental health organizations, law enforcement agencies, and humanitarian groups for treating mental illness as a disease, not a crime. Such change cannot come too soon." Here's another link concerning crisis intervention (alternative to quick execution) : http://www.time.com/time/health/article/0,8599,1651002,00.html?cnn=yes "Florida taxpayers spend $100,000 each day to house the mentally ill in prison; moreover, studies show that people with mental illness stay in jail eight times longer than other inmates, at seven times the cost."

http://www.hawaiireporter.com/story.aspx?2327500b-7aa5-4453-95a8-0bf47fbcf8d5 Larry Craig – The Case for More Thought Since Senator Larry Craig pleaded guilty to the infraction of “public nuisance” quite a number of things seem to have been lost in the shuffle. Why were the cops in the Minnesota Airport in the first place, a good question? That key word “kids” was the reason in that some kids had reported being approached by adults there before. So fine and well, the cops were trying to protect kids again. Most people like that and would indicate that it’s good to “throw the book” at any such offender wherever kids are involved, again well and good. No kids were involved in the Craig incident. There is no video of the Craig incident probably due to the state laws of Minnesota. As in other states, it’s illegal or unwarranted for law enforcement to film in a restroom, changing room or any private place as for civilian photographers. That hurt the police case since a video would have been very concrete, but no matter. The audio of Craig and the arresting officer turned out to be inconclusive as well. It’s comes down to one person’s word against the other’s. Had Craig visited a prostitute, it’s unlikely anyone would have said anything since it’s so common. All the accusers who’ve lined up to add in their two cents on the Craig matter certainly must be very aware of the huge whoring industry in D.C.? It would be difficult to overlook. It may as well be a fully recognized department of the government. Most of the time, when a public official gets into trouble it’s for stealing huge sums of money. Due process is involved and it takes time for the system to work, but that’s for felony matters. Many of these offenders go up for long stretches of time when it’s all over. In the two hundred plus year history of the U.S. Government, the only things ever referred to any “ethics committee” or worse have been felony matters; i.e., “high crimes and misdemeanors.” In that usage “misdemeanors” referred to official mishandling of matters directly related to the public officer’s control of the affairs of office. The Craig incident is plowing new grounds. Republicans are very eager to get the Craig matter over with and “get on with business” like shoving “immigration reform” down everyone’s throats pretty soon. They’re rested now and have “work to do.” Good, but let’s keep it all in perspective please. Of course, that old bad subject of human sexuality got kicked under the carpet again. No one cares to delve into the ”why’s” of behavior, just run off into the darkness where it’s so safe and good. No one cares to see if maybe this older man has begun to lose his grip or expressed any concerns at all for the fact that maybe he’s even innocent of wrongdoing. It’s really curious because most of the time an offender has rights and certainly for an infraction, it should be very simple. Just consider what a DUI is and how much more serious it is too. Had Craig had a DUI people would be concerned, but it’s unlikely that they’d want his head so fast. He’d be in plenty of trouble and even more if he’d hurt someone. People everywhere are exceedingly judgmental. It’s probably not their fault. For over fifty years every American politician has run on a “law enforcement” platform. It’s no wonder why the public expects and enjoys “law enforcement solutions” to just about everything. Yet, the serious sex crimes keep going up and up each year while prisons get fuller and fuller of marginal offenders, but few ever will say anything about that. This is a nation of laws. Population Explosion Bad News - http://www.capsweb.org Important reading for the world. Also google: NEW YORK TIMES, July 18, 2007, Trying Times Ahead: The Prospect of 60 Million Californians, VERLYN KLINKENBORG. "Recently, the California Department of Finance projected that there will be some 60 million people living in the state by 2050." Stinkin' DA and Killin' Cop of Lake County, CA Over a year after the fact, Lake County DA Jon Hopkins has filed manslaughter charges against a sailboat's rudderman to cover up a cop's crime. Lake County Chief Deputy Sheriff Russell Perdock ran into the sailboat on the moonless night of April 29, 2006 fatally injuring Lynn Thornton. Now Charmichael resident, Bismarch Dinius, faces an uncertain fate in court if the case is prosecuted. Witnesses claimed that Perdock was traveling at a very high rate of speed when his deluxe speedboat hit the sailboat, but he suggested strongly that he was not even present at the time. That's how he tried to make it sound by saying, "Lynn Thornton died as the result of the actions of others," on TV. That's like saying "the gun did it, I didn't." He'll "rest his case" on the actions of the crooked Nifong-style DA Hopkins and his hatchet man, Deputy D.A. David McKillop who's as oily tongued as they come. From all reports the DA and several police agencies have pulled out all the stops to cover for Perdock, their dear friend who leads the life of Riley on the lake, the life a public hero cop was meant to live. It figures. The public perception of cops is that they can do no wrong, so that's what they think too. It's okay to bend the truth to save a stinky badge. This story has received plenty of coverage in the Sacramento Bee and on KGO should anyone care to google: Clear Lake, Dinius, Perdock CA's Supreme Court Rules Down Confiscatory Laws Statewide Finally, no police department may confiscate a person's vehicle for their having been involved in non felony conduct. Humpty Dumpty Oakland, CA fell down really hard as that city has for years ruthlessly enforced confiscation of vehicles for one's having "purchased drugs" or one's having the temerity to drive to Oakland to engage in paid for sex. All the laws in the world have not stopped the now very open violence in Oakland, with much more black-on-white crime reported than ever. Regardless of race, Oakland, CA was perverted into becoming a special pariah by the recently departed Mayor Jerry Brown, et al., who let the city down big time. His "get tough" policy never worked and never had much hope. However, a number of other cities tried the same types of confiscatory laws that the U.S. Constitution specifically forbids. The CA Supreme Court merely did the right thing, by a 4-3 decision, to dump the at-will crime-on-citizens by careless PDs. Once again, socialism takes just one more baby step backwards in a state that was for the most part all about "free love" and "grass for all" less than two decades ago. California, after that time of social bliss, was gutted for good by extremely violent cops and dumbbell politicians who were elected by the "let George do it" voters everywhere. Police theft, no matter what it is called, is wrong and it is just as much a crime as any other crime. It's not very likely that this ruling will be overturned since the U.S. Constitution is right behind the state. For once, the ridiculous court actually ruled to protect people from "unreasonable seizures" at the hands of property grabbing cops. It's a wonder in a state like California, but it can and does happen from time to time. Chalk this one up well. It'll have to last a while. This should be some amount of good news for gun owners and the rest because a number of PDs have very sticky fingers with all sorts of other things. They need to start refunding seized property immediately, but that will remain to be seen. When stupid cops and/or their minions are in control, all suffer greatly. It'll be well to watch the CA legislature on this too. They never seem to get that "will of the people" message because they're so busy. Collective Bargaining By Police, Serious Mistake For about the last thirty years most police departments have been allowed to bargain collectively with the public they work for. This has been counterproductive for a number of reasons, mainly in that the public started paying a lot more for a lot less. In addition, the powerful police unions have at times overwhelmed and intimidated the public. Fear is a powerful thing and fear of uniforms has only gotten worse. It's no wonder why. A cursory look at what the police do indicates that they really do "shoot first and ask questions later." Some outstanding executions have been noted in New York, but are not limited to that state alone. They happen just about everywhere now. The troubling thing about the police and the administration of them is the amount of secrecy the police are permitted to operate with. They have enormous discretion. Even more troubling is the fact that, for the most part, they answer only to themselves or a mayor. Collective bargaining by police officers was not allowed very often in most places prior to about 1960. Previous generations knew better than to allow themselves to be backed into a corner by cops. Police unions have become too powerful and too secretive for everyone's good. The time has come and gone for allowing cops to bargain collectively. It is a privilege that should be revoked so that the public may exercise more appropriate control over the cops they employ. Cops Sidestep Council, Auditor, Public Again The "independent police auditor," who reports to "The Great Big Chief of Police," SJPD's Rob Davis, was thwarted by the City of San Jose Council 21 June 2007. The council voted that the auditor, Barbra Attard, and Davis should "work together" to make the system for reporting police abuse more "user friendly" whatever that's supposed to mean. She will not become an investigator. So, how "friendly" should the system be when it comes to snuffing citizens out? Seems like when the cops snuff someone, it's already not so "friendly?" Anyway, the good council put Ms. Attard in her place, just as was carefully choreographed with Ms. Attard's full approval and involvement ahead of time. Too bad "idol" awards couldn't have been handed out at the end. Everyone was so happy and even teary-eyed, as they should have been, after such a performance. The charade of "good government for all" went off without a hitch. The public was once again damned by shrewd behind-the-scenes brinksmanship that at times approached the ideal "Chicago model" for correct police behavior and the cover-up of anything that could seriously be criticized. Yet, San Jose will never be able to brag "Alderman" status to its discredit as that is peculiarly "Chicago's very own." The city is just a little too young for that type of cloak-and-dagger histrionics offered up by big time petty barons. The stupidity of the populace is the key and critical component for the success of any council. San Jose may claim just as much stupidity as any other city, the kind councils have come to love and depend upon all across America. All the various citizen action groups were spat upon, one more time. "There is no justice in the jungle," said "Mr. Bluster" to a rousing level of applause, and little tan skinned boys must die. Nothing changed there. No changes needed nor considered. How about building another parking lot? That's more like it San Jose. Stadium maybe? Is That Cop Awake? That's a good question today. With all the shift rotations and other needs for overtime, it could be that any given cop is fast asleep. A very recent study supported by the National Institute of Justice and the Centers for Disease Control puts renewed interest into the subject of sleep disorders wearing blue uniforms. More people need to know that a cop may not be all there. Sleepless cops and guns don't mix. Cops too should have no exemptions from updates to NICS, the National Instant Check System. That system screens for "mental problems" and/or "adjudications" concerning mental state of firearm purchasers. However, the system could also be used to routinely screen cops for fitness of service. Cops need to be checked routinely to determine if they are mentally ready for service. That's a fair and reasonable expectation for any organized society. If it saves just one life, it'll all be worth it. Liberalism Fading Fast in France, Here The recent national elections in France put a conservative in power for the first time in decades. Considering that and the fact that the Democratic Party continues to lose steam in the U.S. Government, the world is looking very different now. The Dems couldn't even muster a "no confidence" vote against the U.S. Attorney General Gonzales, let alone put forward an immigration bill. Something has shifted and it's not just the wind. Socialism really doesn't deliver anything. At the core, the money or jobs have to be there so that taxes are paid and subsequently handed over to the indigent masses. Du pain! Du pain! Mas no! Pas de pain ici! Even bastardized bread is not free, everyone. So, that brings us to the point, pussy liberalism, socialism or communism go the same place, nowhere fast. It's taking the French a lot longer to get to that point of frustration, but change is coming along fine. People have to work, somewhere, n'est pas? Money doesn't grow on trees, n'est pas? Let's see how long this lasts. Bush should move to Albania since they liked him so much there. He should shut up about "immigration." No one here needs it. Originally, that was a conservative position, one he abandoned, and it cost him as well as the party. Don't forget your roots sir. California's BS 'Legal System' Anyone wanting to get a snapshot of what IJ has been saying for years need only look at the Paris Hilton case. Since when does a traffic problem deserve a sudden court order to appear after having been released by the Sheriff? How many true criminal matters were overlooked during this breach of judgment form the bench? It's a wonder Paris is still alive, really, since she would make such a good taser target. If one hair of her head is pulled during her stay in the LA County Jail, it'll be a real loss, but more so for "law enforcement" in an already whacky state like CA. Poor Paris is rapidly turning into another Jean Harlow. Just as Harlow, she runs a risk of waking up dead somewhere. Then everyone will be "real sorry." Sure they will. Society is so correct and loving, as always. She needs "to be taught a lesson," but what lesson is that one please? 'Law Enforcement' Locally, CA County The Santa Clara County DA, Delores Carr, let a "rape case" go recently. Now it's on it's way up to faker Jerry Brown, the state DA, for his "review." As though he's qualified to review anything. He's not qualified to work in a hamburger stand, never mind render a legal opinion, more bullshit. Carr was right on this one. Thanks dear. Now clean up the DA's office, your office, of the sort of foul smell that made it as infamous as LA's. Flawed Immigration Bill Dead In the end, the contentious nature of the poorly conceived immigration bill did it in. This is a good thing, not a bad thing. Let Harry Reid and the rest of the blow-hards get the point that the American public isn't going for any more "Katrina" style solutions to problems. Far from it, no one in America is handing this land or any of its coveted privileges over to anyone for nothing. That includes all illegal dwellers herein. It's high time to begin to address the real problems with Mexico, "our neighbor to the South." Those may include a military solution so that this land will remain safe and free. Until the corruption is resolved in Mexico, there'll be no lasting long term solution to the human suffering that is inflicted on its innocent citizens and no solution to illegals pouring into the U.S. America must never be a "magnet" for anyone, figuratively or literally. No one here needs massive influx of foreigners for any reason. Just because the immigration bill is now dead, there is no reason for individual states not to continue to pass tough anti-immigration statutes on their own. Even done piece meal, law in that manner is better than letting anyone who wants simply to run free here. It'll send a clear message to the next senate and congress for what the citizens want, legally speaking. [Anti-immigration laws from the viewpoint of jobs, certain required background checks, housing, etc. Only the fed may regulate legal immigration. ] Democrats lost big today. For all their huffing and puffing, they proved nothing in the end despite holding majorities in both houses. This is a warning to them for 2008. It's also a warning to everyone else. Don't let the government run things on its own. Can a Good Muslim be a Good American?At large submission, author unknown. Some important questions include: Theologically? - no.

http://usinfo.state.gov/is/Archive/2005/Mar/23-209281.html Tribute To American Women Women really take a beating these days, quietly all around the world. Below is a collage of snapshots commemorating what it's all about in America. Take a good look at all the love.
Mother's day is a special day in America. Sunday's are nice too. That's a good time to hit a woman, to "reassure her" in a most personal way. Kids get to see it unfold before their very eyes and are permanently marred for life. This is a Christian nation, home of the Falwell's and the rest of the cover-ups. Abuse of women is a worldwide problem and our Islamic pals really like it more than anyone could have imagined heretofore. Islam goes many steps farther than just beatings. They love the "honor killing" methodology. It makes complete sense to murderers. Islam is right at home with the most important though unspoken American traditions. No translations are necessary. Have a look at abuse of women in the wonderful Muslim lands: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5eZ8bM00vAg&eurl=http%3A%2F%2Fsheikyerm Client Services in Santa Clara County, CA
Public Service Announcement - The Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors
is proposing to cut $110 million from life-saving public health, mental
health, drug and alcohol treatment services. Adoption of these cuts will
have a devastating impact on tens of thousands of children, elders,
families, people with disabilities and others in the county. Endorsed by IJ as an alternative to the additional police actions that will be necessary if these services are removed. Oh yes, an update: Police fatally tasered a Mongol biker on 1st St. 25 May 2007. The dumbbell medical examiner will once again claim that he's not sure electrical shock could be fatal. The police claim that this was the "first time" this happened in San Jose. It's not. Oh yes, the local "call girl" to "The Great Big Chief of Police Rob Davis" and sole "citizen review person" Barbara Attard has "demanded" review of taser use in San Jose. She wants to cry some crocodile tears for the tasered citizens now departed, sometime soon, while assisting her boss cop Davis "to feel so much better on the job." So far, so good. She's definitely "made him feel like a man" on the job, even to the extent that Davis refused to wear women's shoes to the "walk a mile in her shoes" public exhibition. That's good. San Jose needs a secretive "he man" with a gun. This is "man country" home of pussy "law enforcement" of the most violent persuasion. Uncle Fudd Gasping for Air The BIG local paper appears to be down for the count, again. Thanks be to that jealous organ that helped push IJ into international prominence. It appears that even more bad news is coming, and well, Uncle Fudd will slip and fall all the way down the same hill it so vengefully pushed others down for decades. What goes around comes around. Human Rights Issues Still Big With IJ Since IJ started up in 2003, the numbers of police abuse incidents pouring in have become so routine and massive that this small paper can't begin to handle the shear amount of it. However, even more have poured in lately bringing this paper to the realization that many places across the land are on the thin edge of control, police control that is. Several cases have screamed out as the not so shining examples of how our cities' finest operate. No compliments are due to anyone once again in officialdom. If anything, the great freeze seems much worse than before. "Man's inhumanity towards man," rancorously tolls true before one sleeping local government after another, but it's that damning silence that's so bad, that silence from the top that's always officiated by the cops themselves. Since news analysis is more or less what this paper is about, it's particularly abhorrent to find an example of a freelancer getting the old baton to his head. Such was the case with Tonye Allen and his associate Ann Brown The story tells itself, but the larger questions must be: What color is the "correct color" or what occupation is the "correct one" any more? How innocent and unarmed must a person be? Is leaving a hotel pretext enough essentially to kill a citizen over? This paper has long held that being unarmed is the first step in line to a person's massive mishandling at the hands of the police just about everywhere across America. It's a formula for death that has been proved many times over in only the three years IJ dared to print a single questioning line of type and sent out. The nationwide police repression isn't so hard to pick out of the clutter anymore. The hell of it is that many people seem to like things this way. They are all too willing to accept "the ever increasing crime rate" published by the cops. The cops must know something: PR is the key, as for keeping people on the defensive, so that the expenditures for cops keep increasing. That's very nice. Just keep building up layer upon layer of cops because "law enforcement solutions" are the only solutions. Punctuate everything with "good police behavior" from time to time like a few bone marrow donations by the cops, sounds so very good. A cop is always "a model citizen" and so much more trustworthy than any regular citizen is. They get tons of mileage off such wonderful "police efforts." Then, the very next day, they go out and find "a nigger" to kill. That's just excellent police work. And, when they're not out killing some little slob, they may feel free to goof up major investigations because they weren't qualified to handle them in the first place. "Bad evidence handling" is "the usual suspect." Just what the hell is going on with all those tax dollars at work? The good news, if any, is that thousands of you out there read, send out your own email bulletins and harp long enough to get at least some attention. Here too, that's what the paper has done with some success. Awareness is very important because it is it's own "crime stopper" network only the people to watch now are the cops. IJ can't possibly print the injustice deluge that pours in, but it should be said that the American awareness movement is alive and well, that much is for sure. A "nice white boy's paper" like this one counts too. Bleeding hearted liberal repressors read it and sometimes laugh their collective asses off. Then too, they do have to stop and think, "what's with this?" Does this "paper" represent anything at all that I could give a flip about? Well, guess what. This damn little paper hits home and everyone across the "law enforcement landscape" has had to pay attention to it. If IJ has any secret, it's only to hit 'em where it hurts, right back in the public opinion category they feel they've so handily sewn up for themselves. If a few more people spent the time to stay aware of LE, the problem would melt far down. Time will tell whether people care to get out from in front of the BIG TVs to do anything. Some have already. Some more will have to too. Harry Not Shipping Out To Iraq Prince Henry would create such a threat to his men, he won't be going to Iraq. It's a troubling blow to him to be sure. However, it's even more troubling to a greatly weakened U.K. Looking at just how far gone the British Empire truly is today, it's a bit easier to understand withering in the proper light. When a nation becomes so effete that it is controlled by the will of a distant foreign land, that's really the end. If insurgents in Iraq can simply threaten an office holder and that changes war deployment strategy, there is no military discipline to be had. What would Monty say to that statement? He'd be mortified and he'd turn over in his grave. Brits may continue living their false life style, one of being heavily monitored everywhere. Hopefully that should prevent some miscarriages by violent perverts. Brits may choose to sing again that wonderful "All we are saying, is give peace a chaunce." It sounded so nice in the 70s. It helped get rid of awful Americans and their damned nukes from British bases. For a land that was so often occupied by powerful conquerors, perhaps resignation to the dogs is in order? It's a pity isn't it? The day will come when Brits will look back on the days of that expression "obedient poodles to America" as among its finest hours. Sheriff Represses Santa Barbara Area The "no guns allowed" policy unless you're a cop is in full swing in the Santa Barbara area. The "hang 'um high" Santa Barbara County Sheriff Bill Brown is doing what all the cute little liberals love best, repressing weapons permits. Since CA has no "shall issue" law in effect, tin horn little cops can operate like thieves in the night, robbing the private citizen of security in an ever maddening world. Sheriff Brown "knows what's good for everybody else," based on one incident of "road rage" he related recently. The thing is, he used false comparisons in his "story of rage" and failed completely to see the larger picture. This is California at its finest, burying its head in the sand like the extinct cranes of yore. It's funny how the state can be a "leader in CO2 emission control" on the one hand, but slip into the sea on the other with respect to self defense. Self defense does not exist in the state, so no, no, no, no one mustn't defend one's self against anything or anyone, period. He likes "issuing" to fellow cops, however, and of course, he's a gun toting cop himself, so no problem there. What about everyone else? Now is the time to repeal all guns laws, a citizen's reflection
Please note that of the 80,000,000 gun owners many too
are voters; and, by dint of their gun registrations and
background checks
for Concealed Carry Permits, are pretty much vetted. Gun owners are a very
significant voting block in 2008. Candidates should take heed.

http://www.TransferOfWealth.net Not associated with or
related to IJ in any way] Police Crisis Intervention Training As for the suburbs of France one year ago, the suburbs of America have over-boiled lately during the May 1 immigration protests. Los Angeles leads the way with all the police over-reactions, as usual. However, it isn't only on the special days that the police continue to be woefully under trained and under prepared to deal with individuals in crisis. This is the stuff that police snuff-outs are made of, the "shoot first, ask questions later" mentality. Consider this scenario: A person has chest pains, so 911 is called. Soon, an ambulance with highly qualified medical staff arrives. The person is evaluated, whisked off and voila, they live to see another day. Scenario number two: A person "flips out" to some degree. 911 is called. A cop shows up and soon kills the person. Anything wrong with this picture? Sure, a lot is wrong with it, but that's what happens worldwide and the French are not immune to this one bit. Over the past year, IJ has had plenty of time to look at what happened in France and some other lands too, but France is the best overall comparison that could be found. That's mainly due to the same callousness of the police there. Their stories sound so American that the review had to be stopped in order to ensure the correct Internet page was up. The need for a great deal more police crisis intervention training everywhere is very apparent. It always has been a challenge, but now it's even more important, every bit as important as preventing "terrorism." Here's a fairly good local example that comes from a chapter president of The National Alliance on Mental Health. Crisis Intervention Training or CIT is for the good of everyone. IJ recognizes these efforts. Lots To Talk About, Not So Much Time To Do It In As you know, the U.S. has been bogged down in Iraq. That's affected the U.S. readiness all over the globe. Some months back IJ ran a story, down this page still, that indicated "the new America" coming; i.e., one that would be totally mobilized militarily. Well, those days are in fact coming upon America and the world. General George Casey has been talking over the last several weeks about just how far America must go when it comes to call-ups and extended deployment. However, included in some of his remarks recently have been some telling indications by Defense Secretary Robert Gates pertaining to overall readiness. Casey wants 65,000 more soldiers which amounts to nearly a doubling of the 35,000 projected increases in place now. This dialog is not new, but what is new is how open Gates made himself in January and how that information is still showing up. So what's the conclusion to be drawn from this? The way IJ sees things shaping up is something like this: At some point the Democrats have to back off of their "pull out now" agenda. It'll never happen anyway. The Iraq war will just keep going for better or worse. Dems WILL have to do some funding for it and pretty soon. That leaves them at the logical end of the continuum, meaning that they don't have a back up agenda to go to after they've grudgingly refunded the sinking war in Iraq. Soon, the election rhetoric will take precedence over a lot of things, but the war in Iraq will still be going full blast along with new wars anywhere else. The U.S. quite likely will be faced with new multi front wars. Though it looks a little tough now, America is pretty well known for defense spending. This time won't be much different. It's really only just a matter of time. No Defense Planning Cost Lives
Massive loss of life by defenseless students at Virginia Tech underscores
what has been happening in a number of places in America, namely the push
to undermine or even remove hard won CCW or Concealed Carry of a Weapon
laws. Interesting
Fall-out After Virginia Murders Up until very recently a tragedy like the one at Virginia Tech absolutely
ensured passage of some anti gun bill that was merely waiting it the
wings, especially at a state level. That old formula is gone now
because much of “their laws” are already in place functioning to their
satisfaction very well. The only thing left is a total ban and
confiscation which would again prove futile. They wonder why all the
gun owners fight them? It’s no wonder at all. 'Al Jazeera English'
New Walloping Organ The late Marshall McLuhan should get even more kudos than ever for his pioneering writing and insights into what he foresaw as "the global village." Al Jazeera has added some unwritten chapters to his work lately. In the process of their launch they've hired top notch talent from around the world. Even the U.S. military is gung-ho for getting on Al Jazeera, a dramatic shift in tone and procedures. That really says something. Though the old paper-and-inks are disappearing, new organs are cropping up very quickly to fill that void. No one wants to be left behind, not even IJ. The Internet being what it is, IJ has had to pay more and more attention to international news. It's very critical now. We'll be watching with even more interest. Salute to the Small
Papers One of the reasons they'll fail is the high expense of both paper and ink. Other reasons include loss of audience. Then, of course, the journalism schools were far behind in ever developing a working "business model" for a modern Internet paper to follow. It doesn't exist. Can the world do without Uncle Fudd and the likes of "The Times" or all the rest? The answer is a resounding yes. It's getting better every day, in fact. So much news is flowing from all over the world that it's all a forgone conclusion. The end will come soon for the big papers in terms of cold hard news, not so much for "fashion" and some other sweet gentle areas that won't get translated very well by papers like IJ. So, what valid role does an "IJ" manage to fulfill after all? It comes down to a single very critical word, analysis. It wouldn't do any good to publish any paper leaving out analysis. It may seem trivial to present, but IJ has succeeded greatly because the paper doesn't just cut and paste from other sources. That could be done by anyone. Naturally, by offering analysis one could say that IJ is "slanted" or "editorializes" when it should only report what happened. However, all the large papers have done this and more serious skullduggery for centuries. They've been totally self-serving at times, failing to criticize authority. That failure has led to numerous abuses of power. It's high time for change in the media. Thank heavens for it and it's hurtling on its way. Best of all, IJ is free and always will be. Power Sharing and Gun Ownership - Question Answered IJ advocates gun ownership and CCW laws in CA as a "step in the right direction" towards power sharing. It is NOT the position of this paper that a person should go out, buy a gun and attempt to use it for any reason. More on this continues below. There's a BIG reason why "law enforcement" pulls out all the stops to prevent citizen gun ownership and/or self defense measures: THEY WANT TO BE THE ONLY GAME IN THE ENTIRE STATE! That position is easy to verify too, it's everywhere. The so-called "ordinary citizen" out there does not understand the connection between lawful gun ownership, proper self defense statutes and his/her role in power sharing with all levels of government. "Authority" likes it that way, very confusing. Politicians in the virgin, as yet CCW absent, states are especially eager to prevent any "loss of control." That means just about everything, but most importantly the right of any citizen ever to make any challenge to "authority." Some of these people who would emulate Mayor Bloomberg of NYC are complete fanatics in that regard. [ Rudy Giuliani is the same thing too, Mr. Guncontrol.] There's a huge reason for it, CONTROL at all costs. It's not just because one or several individuals could legally purchase a gun. That's nothing, in itself. In fact, most people will never bother to own a gun. It's the concept that it's legal and still possible. That makes everyone at all levels of LE have to be a lot more honest and law abiding themselves. They could do without "citizen review" too. They really like it that way. Do you? In a world where only cops own guns, that's a police state. By itself the citizen's gun means nothing and would in fact be illegal very quickly, in a police state. That's the key concept: The right to own it, but even more critical for the times, the right to use it in an emergency just as any cop would. That's a lot for a reader to have to digest already. Consider just what "the system of checks and balances" really means. YOU are part of that system. Halliburton's Pullout Signals U.S. Withdrawal From Iraq A lot of funny signals are flying out of the Middle East now, but one thing is clear, Halliburton has made its money so it's time to run. Over the last several weeks Halliburton, a Cayman Island based business, has announced intentions to relocate its main headquarters to Dubai in the UAE (United Arab Emirates). That's in keeping with the "new self preservation" exhibited by "big business" that's heavily plugged into the U.S. Government. It's no mistake in timing that Big H's time is up. It's the one dependable indicator most sought after for years in determining "what next" when it comes to U.S. policy in Iraq. The wind has shifted directions to the West now as the storm of the 2008 elections approaches. The GOP along with Dick Chenney and others do not care to see Iraq loom as a major issue again. For if Iraq doesn't wind down soon, the GOP could face more losses than it already has. Aside from that, it's nice to "do business while under the full protection of the U.S. military." Sad to say, but it's a deal "under the table." This time everyone including the President himself is in on it. Look for the U.S. to be out of Iraq fairly soon. Some more "behind the scenes deals" have to go down like continued massive public protests in Iraq to cover the pullout. These are happening now so it shouldn't be too long. Halliburton comes out smelling like a rose. . Brits Reaping Rewards OF
Pacifism It was the wrong message at exactly the wrong time in history. Now the British must exceed to the Iranian demands or risk war. They've made Iran all the more tempted because the British pullout from Iraq is fully under way, just what Iran wanted only they also desire to see British noses rubbed in a little poopy-doo too. However, this is only the first installment of weakness. With the U.S. House and Senate having voted for a time table for withdrawal of U.S. forces from Iraq, more brazen "parting shots" are to be expected from the victorious Iranians who can do no wrong. Montana's LE 'Worried'
About New Gun Bill, Public Attitude There has almost always been a fascination by LE for people living in the mountains who own guns. Throw in a little "religion" and it really gets LE and "proper folks" all worked up to an explosive point very quickly. In fact, the greater threat to the public has often times been the shear amount of overreaction by LE during times of change. Now comes a full blown bill that would install both CCW and a new definition of self defense for the state's residents. LE is hopping mad that anything like it would come along. Such is the state's House Bill 340, drafted by Republican Representative Jack Wells of Bozeman now tabled due to LE's backdoor brinksmanship. LE needs to start getting used to a few more challenges. Things have been "their way" for way too long. The recent successful challenge to Washington D.C.'s gun ban doesn't bode well for the old "standard line" antigun Democrats' position in 2008 either. The gun issue is very much alive and well in more than just a few minds and all the squirming by LE and the trial attorneys won't alter the inevitability of the clash that's coming. 2008 promises to be a big year for gun politics all across the land. Stay tuned. Public Very Quiet After
U.S. Senate Revokes FBI's 'NSL's The American public is very frequently at a disadvantage when it comes to understanding just how close the land comes total government takeovers. The NSL "experiment" is over just in time to preserve, protect and defend the U.S. Constitution. Fireworks should be in order, but are conspicuously absent. It's not very likely the average American even knew anything about the abusive NSL's or much else or even cared to be informed. What an NSL did was to allow the FBI to investigate anyone at anytime without due process. It amounted to the biggest power grab in FBI history something that would have greatly impressed J. Edgar Hoover himself. His bad legacy lived on very well until the Senate revoked NSL's. IJ advocates, among other things, the removal of the Hoover name from the FBI building in Washington, D.C. This is just one more occasion to celebrate freedom and the wish for its continued preservation. The "average citizen" seems unflustered about much of this. It would be well to read some newspapers now and then, when there's time. Farcical Ethanol Message Suddenly, Bush is an "environmentalist." He has "discovered" the value of ethanol additive fuels. Good, but it's a fake out all the way. By just about any standard used, America could never produce ethanol in quantities enough to make any significant dent in motor fuel consumption. Mainly that's due to corn being the only viable crop that could be used to make the alcohol. That's funny because corn is the most highly subsidized crop going, bar none, and not about to change. So, Bush's sudden "interest" in ethanol is suspect. Could it be that a disguised new corn subsidy is on its way in time for 2008 elections? Probably. If the fed wanted to stimulate fuel economy, the only ways could be to impose new fuel taxes and to force automakers by law to produce much more fuel efficient cars. It's not coming, not this year or any, because farming and automobile production are key special interests in the key Midwest states. Reflections Hi, I'm feeling a touch "promiscuous" today. Are you?
Gardasil Vaccine New Political Football From sea to shining sea there's plenty of negative discussion about the one vaccine that could save a woman's life from cervical caner with near absolute certainty. Texans are all upset that a girl would be required to save herself from a miserable death with only a small amount of cost and inconvenience. The state legislature just about shot down any hope of uniform requirements to ensure inoculation by age twelve, instead leaving the decision up to the whim of parents. That's somewhat the tone in many states. Originally, the vaccine was to be administered to both boys and girls before age twelve. HPV, human papillomavirus, would have been stopped in its tracks and doubly ensured harmless. Instead, angry people have once again proved how failure oriented the chain of human communication is. The emotional argument is once again about "promiscuity" which is there for the doing and always has been. Nothing ever changes very much, but it must be fun to "kick" the old football around, especially by ones so talented, respected and experienced in all things, the great legislators of the land. One would have to assume that their "daughters" must somehow be on the line for such nationwide righteous outbursts to be so vociferously manifested? Along with that crock goes all the rest of the "understandings" about human sexuality and child development. It should be stated that most of these "daddies in charge" never developed themselves and only had a few boyish notions of what human sexuality was all about. Some of these guys should install rear car seats permanently and prominently in their fine high offices for all to view upon entry. In reality, "back seats" are fertile human originators and should be dutifully acknowledged as such, much as tribes in Africa would display fertility carvings. Just figure what it must be like to have to hold a woman's hand for the last time in the hospital, just before she closes her eyes forever? It would be somewhat like viewing an execution, for the so informed, an "execution" that was not necessary and could have been avoided. Also to be considered is not only the woman herself, but also all those around her too. How about the kids who lose their mothers on such fine days or the husbands hurled into grief? Those thoughts should count too. Bad Little Baxseat In a tribute to American leadership, IJ can't help but be choked up about celebrating the love of the back seat. Throughout the many years, America's love of the motor car could hardly be mentioned without also relating just what the motor car did for romance and well, hanky-panky.
Where sperm and eggs so gleefully collide. The photo comes from a parted-out Lexus. If properly mounted on a steel frame, this seat could have new life and meaning in just about any legislator's office. Just imagine how turned on women would be upon entering the chamber? The "pheromones" alone would be overpowering, never mind the erotic and truthful display of the new furniture. Just about any lady would want her chance to "break in the back seat." It's pretty standard behavior all across America, so out with it. No need to be bashful. It's always nice to know that public dollars are firmly at work and working so very hard. Denial should be eschewed just as should obfuscation. The point is, everyone loves to pussyfoot around "personal matters," but everybody seems destined to end up in the back seat. Maybe that's why so many important issues must "take a back seat" to everything else these days? Legislators are very busy indeed going down the call lists hoping to find the next "person of interest." NASA's Deep Space Missions Threatened By Earthly Sex Problems The recent personal problems between women astronauts Lisa Nowak and Colleen Shipman serve to illustrate another frontier of challenges with space travel, particularly the long missions. The two women were apparently competing for the affections of fellow astronaut Bill Oefelein. NASA Administrator Michael Griffin and others have been attempting to explain what went wrong and what NASA intends to do about this situation and ones like it in the future. There's been plenty of stuttering and it's no wonder. No one in NASA had any "contingency plans" for "space related sex problems." The subject of space sex has been deliberately avoided for decades due to a number of fears and concerns. The main reason NASA has had to sidestep the subject of sex is because American society as a whole can't cope with the subject. Considering what public outcry does, NASA could lose its meager funding if anyone got wind of any type of personal human issues including sex. Since the public space agency began its existence, sex always was pushed to the back burner particularly male sexual conquests of which there were many early on. The American public never could be expected to accept any sort of "horsing around" just like no one even at this late date is prepared to discuss human sexuality for just about any purpose. It's an off limits subject, but especially at NASA. The funny thing is whenever the brightest hottest talents are brought together, everyone should expect plenty of sex. The higher the intelligence, the higher the sex drive is, usually.
So, take three of the nation's brightest and best. Put them all together for months at a clip and see what happens. Situation normal. As they say, "biology raised its ugly head." No one wants to get to the bottom of sex issues that are fairly straight forward and are there for the looking, testing and evaluating it would seem. Sex issues will be there regardless of the inconvenience they pose from any scientific viewpoint. Therein is the major conflict, not what happened between three individuals on one given day. It's a problem NASA never planned for or planned for very well, and fully demonstrates what non scientific human society is about, fig leaves and other forms cover ups. From a scientific stand point it's not just limiting, it's downright threatening to any deep space missions. This is a major wake up call for NASA and other such entities presuming to send man/woman into the darkness of space. Push the calendar forward about twenty to thirty years. We're going to Mars as surly as you are reading this. In time, say about thirty years, the first human babies will be born on Mars. The colonization of space will have begun. It's not far fetched, but what if? What if people far away from Earth lose control of themselves and harm each other perhaps even destroying a whole mission that took years to develop? It's quite possible considering the human mind. It would be doubly ironic to find one day that Earth and Mars actually were at war. Wherever there are people, there always will be problems including the struggle to dominate. This episode is a wakeup call for the entire space community, not just NASA. A lot more personal issue planning will have to be done and all the scientists need to start planning for plenty of sex in space. In fact, "moral reconfiguration" will become one of the most important areas for the adaptation of man/woman who will be light years away from this planet in less than seventy-five years. From Earth, man/woman will colonize just about anything in the universe, given enough time. That puts future astronauts into a special deity class, quite literally. More than just our sense of theology will be tested. Editorial note: Without too much ceremony, Astronaut Nowak was dropped on 7 March 2007. It was a certainty from the get-go. In connection with IJ's article that preceded her dumping, it should also be pointed out that Nowak was probably a mental case for some time. To that end NASA could have been more supportive. They demonstrated how ineffectively mental health issues are dealt with, just pushed on never resolved. All the homeless can testify to such handling. 'On The Beach' Coming True In 1959 a movie was made, set mostly in Australia, starring Gregory Peck, Fred Astaire and Ava Gardner. It was a story about the end of the world after numerous atomic exchanges with Australia being the last known bastion of man. The film ends tragically with submariners having to make some lonely final decisions together. The anthem "Waltzing Matilda" ran true to form.
Sadly, it's looking like Australia will be the first continent to face total devastation due to global warming. Global warming is like A-bombs forever. Coming to a continent near you soon. Armed Citizens May Be Coming To CA California's legislature has started pushing a number of gun bills in the state. One of these has been coming for some time because a Southern California police officers association has been demanding it. The bill pertains to concealed carry of a weapon or CCW by police officers or by ex officers. It's pretty amazing that any CA assembly liberals would even dare to get such a bill going, but they have. IJ sees this bill in a positive way because it could open the door one day for citizen CCW which is long over due. To be sure, any gun bill put forward by anyone in CA must be regarded with at least some suspicion. This one contains some bad elements too. For one thing, the basic concept that any retired police officer is automatically so much better than a comparable private citizen is a farce. The bill is however a gauge for determining just how impractical the laws of CA truly are. At the moment, only an active duty officer may carry any weapon, another farce and the main point of contention that this bill compounds for once and for all. The issue came to a head last year when regular duty cops were told by the owner of a privately owned public attraction they could not carry any weapons on the premises. That really made the cops boiling mad and they immediately began suing and pushing for a new law. That much is good, but it still leaves closed the drastically flawed method of gun permitting from one end of backwards CA to the other. The message has been tragically slow in settling in to date. That's the message about the need for self defense in an ever populating state, one that already claims its shortfall in cops. The police simply can't be everywhere. Just about everyone understands that. Forty other states have at least a working "shall issue" permit process or no laws whatsoever prohibiting CCW. Had CA been one of those, this bill wouldn't be needed, but that's not the case, of course, because CA has been a special problem for decades. Too much power has been concentrated for too long in all things "law enforcement." That's never a good idea because that approach guarantees a failure to communicate. It would be a lot better for everyone and far simpler if AB805 could deal with all the problems of CCW not just one very narrow aspect of the issue. If the bill in its present form passes and cops are truly vindicated in their belief that they and they alone are the sole "carry people" a lot of damage could result. Unfortunately, the public tends to think that cops are godly. It's not a good way to think. Cops are people and often make horrendous mistakes all throughout their careers. They are frequently very well protected legally and financially whenever something they did comes under scrutiny in court. That any private citizen would out-of-hand believe that "only police should have guns" is a pretty damning problem, especially in CA. No one ever seems to get the point that the cops are not bound in any legal way to protect anyone either. Often times, it's only because the private citizen called in critical information that the police had any chance to assist someone. There are plenty of cases on the books where the cops got there too late to prevent a one-sided extremely violent event. IJ is not suggesting that anyone take the law into his own hands. It's all a matter of common sense. There are a lot of violent people here now and the response times though very good don't ensure total and complete coverage at all times. In all the states where CCW is a reality, none of the draconian predictions have ever come about. Those include "blood in the streets," more "road rage" or even a general increase in hothead crimes, per se. Just the reverse has been shown. In fact, many crimes drop quickly in the stats. The citizens of CA deserve a fighting chance to one day have their own CCW laws that work for everyone. Whether AB805 in its present form helps or not remains to be seen. It's worth the thought, but it's also worth the time to make AB805 a better bill now, one that will take into consideration ALL citizens not just a few narrowly chosen ones like former officers or only those on active patrol duty. Today's 'Law Enforcement' Family Profile, CA Exclusive It's probably a corny way to get a point across, but IJ couldn't resist borrowing a free floating cartoon from the mighty Internet, as below. Just think about this Mr. or Ms. John Q. Public out there. While you struggle to get your kids into the right schools, etc. "law enforcement" and their kin go pretty much first class in California. These same dumbbells will grow up to be in charge of both you and your kids, and you'll have little to say about it except thank you very much. In case this article is misunderstood today, just consider one expense in CA, that being for prison guards alone. That expense exceeds $1 billion per year, much of it in overtime pay. Then consider how well off the "Ass family" will be in the future too after s/he gets to retire on all your money you so wonderfully handed over. Often times cops get to retire on "disability" meaning their retirement pay will be tax free for life. Of course, many of you actually believe that cops are inherently so much better than you are and deserve very special consideration, far above and beyond yours. That's very nice of you. It would be well to start doing a little reading from now on, just in case you ever wondered where all the big money goes or just what it buys for you. Reading would be especially good as all the various laws close down on you with each new law exempting forever anyone called "law enforcement."
IJ gets the point that some reader could begin to believe that IJ writers are becoming "anti social," but that's simply not the case at all. To demonstrate our overall good intentions another photo is included today so that all the "law enforcement" sleuths who "investigate" this page ongoing will have something else to be entertained with, as below.
Again, taken from the Internet, this photo pretty well sums up what Wise Ass is all about. Enjoy! Oh, and when you have some time please do something like arrest a real criminal or something. Janice and Ronald Naymark Receive IJ's Good Citizenship Award It is with great pleasure that IJ extends its highly coveted Good Citizenship Award to the Naymarks for having the courage (and the money) to challenge seven "law enforcement agencies" in Santa Clara County. Their suit pertains to the secretive nature surrounding the flow of information to the public from "law enforcement." This issue has been more or less the flagship issue for IJ since its inception in 2003. The couple have retained a very good attorney, James McManis, who is well known for a number of other cases he has litigated. The suit will be fought to the bitter end by the City of San Jose according to Rick Doyle, the City Attorney (like 'Popeye Doyle' hey? only worse). Par for the course, arrest the usual "suspects." The Naymark's case will take on the San Jose, Los Gatos-Monte Sereno, Campbell, Palo Alto and Santa Clara police departments. Also included are the Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office and the state's California Highway Patrol or CHP. IJ has reported the sick situation in Santa Clara County for years. Included in the fray has been the ease with which executions have been carried out on private citizens, usually ones of color. Those remain listed down this page. One thing is certain, people in this county are very tired of the Communist style of leadership that has been pushed off on them for years. Recently, a new movement has begun that is very distinctly different and even measurable. Some of those events included a repudiation of an absolutely certain sales tax increase. The tune is getting louder and louder now. There may be, egad, real reform sometime soon? A good place to hit "law enforcement" by surprise is exactly where the Naymarks are doing so, in the front office that was set up to be so cute and pretty, the one with the giant NO! NOT TODAY! NOT ANY DAY! signs above the front desk. Palo Alto PD, the highest and mightiest "law enforcement agency of all," admitted that it influenced all its officers to insist on repressing any/all salary information several years ago. The police/fire union threatened to sue anyone who dared to publish any city payroll whether public money was involved or not. One level of secrecy leads to others one could easily assume. The mind blowing thing is that Palo Alto likes to boast how "highly educated" its citizens are. That's not a very good boast when it leads directly to police only governance. In fact, it's very dangerous to so over empower the police. IJ wishes the Naymarks well and we hope and trust that no sudden knocks come to their door in the middle of the night. The next opportunity for a major screw up will come when "the police" attempt to silence or to "cover up" any of their numerous misdeeds. There are plenty of skeletons to go around in this damn police state county. IJ's Challenge to DA Delores Carr Ms. Carr, this would be a good time to clean house in the Santa Clara County's District Attorney's office. It seems too many weasels inhabit your confines, the ones calling themselves "assistant DA's." Those are the ones who don't give a damn who they throw into jail forever. Sheepish DA Releases Symbolic Prisoner Santa Clara County's DA walked Jeffrey Rodriguez after five years of imprisonment on 5 February 2007. Big deal. DA Delores Carr had nothing to say publicly probably because she's both ashamed and even afraid of what could be said about the mess she took over as of January. It's a twisted trail of deceit and corruption to be sure. Suddenly "the little light bulb" went on and presto, the DA's office realized they had no real evidence of the robbery of an individual in San Jose in 2001. That makes sense, a lot of sense since most of what happens in "law enforcement headquarters USA" is often times knee-jerk. It's easy to see because a lot of people have gone to prison on a "quick jerk basis" here for decades. It's usually some poor little slob of a person, any Hispanic would do just fine. This time, the release was set up to look good for the Hispanic community since there is so much attention paid to it all the rest of the year. In other words, the DA is finally realizing that it's "politically incorrect" to slam brown people especially if they come from the ethnicity that is so celebrated the rest of the time, and rightfully so. It can't be both ways; i.e., "wonderful little greasers we love" and "send those greasers to jai!" so fast as has been the case. Of course, "the understanding" has been that "those little spick gangs" are a problem and "a message has to be sent." Like everyone is in a "gang.?" Will DA Carr take part in the wonderful Cinco de Mayo in San Jose, CA this year? Time will soon tell. She should have at least four tortillas on the house just to be on the safe side publicly. Everyone in San Jose wants so badly to "do the right thing." It only cost the little Rodriguez boy five years of his life this time, not his entire life. And remember, cops are always right no matter what. Editor's note of notes: Also, all the king's horses and men will line up and start shouting "the system works, the system works!" Sure it works even when you're dead already. Uncle Fudd Reports Uncle Fudd, solidly behind
protecting the DA, says that a good witch hunt is in order. That
being the removal of an as yet unnamed "criminalist" who
reportedly used improper evidence against Jeffery Rodriguez in his robbery
case. Rodriguez was just released from a five year stay in
prison for "lack of evidence." So much for the
formula of wall-to-wall "law enforcement solutions." And
these same people want a prison in the county? That's really good
for all the knee-jerk "law enforcement solutions only"
types. Lock up everyone regardless of the
"evidence." Frankly, today's standards are so low
anyhow. Merely indicating "conspiracy" is good
enough. In other words, it's not what the person did, but it's what
they "intended to do." Criminal conspiracy nets thirty
long years in CA. That's better than murder as far as the
establishment is concerned. Their intentions are to build prisons
and fill them up to overcrowding as quickly as possible. Bastille San Jose The coming of the new prison to be located on the grounds of Agnew’s Center will start a new era in police state mentality and one-upmanship for the city. The higher-ups must be twisting with excitement about it. Just think, a new stadium AND a new prison! That will really put San Jose on the map, but especially for more “law enforcement solutions” for the masses. This is good. This is really good. A few simple problems must be kicked aside though. Even though a prison is a state run and maintained operation, some way or another must be found to fully fund it. So, the local sales tax will be kicked up merely by one additional cent, just short of nine on the dollar. They’ve been dying to do that and this time’s the charm. Everyone wants more “law enforcement” be it cops on the beat or huge craven correctional edifices. Quantity is the key word. Also, some new parcel taxes will be in order, just to be sure. Just kick in say a mere $450 or so per home and $900 per business? That’ll help. Then hand the money over to the state to be fair. That’s a good idea. Make the state glad they located a prison in such a “law abiding community.” The town home owners will be glad to be on the front row. They can rent out their upper floors for various events like “watching prisoners." That could be yet another sport franchise for the city. If a break out occurs, the locals would get to rent out the upper floors to “hunters” who need something to shoot at. Nothing beats a man running. On Sundays, people could be admitted to tour the various blocks were the insane would be housed. It could be funny to see men chained up and screaming all kinds of things perhaps? It’s been done before. There’d be programs, souvenirs and such just like for Alcatraz. Only this time the show would be live and no one would need a boat to get there. It would be even more hilarious if on one fine day the city erupted and people converged on the damn place determined to tear it down completely. What a day that would be. It would be so powerful that it would become its own holiday marked on the calendar yet. Yes, its own special day when everyone was off and shot fireworks into the air to celebrate the great Bastille of San Jose Day right along with Cinco de Mayo and all the rest. Bush About to Pounce on Iran As IJ has been reporting, the war with Iran is merely around the next corner. While all the words flow and U.S. Reps come and go, Bush is counting down the minutes until all the assets are in place to smash Iran. IJ originally reported that the attack would come right after the November elections. It would have if Bush and the GOP had won. Despite everything, Bush's recent statement of "I'm the decision maker," must be taken verbatim as is. He's not joking. Finally this is coming into sharp focus. On Wednesday 31 January 2007 the President of Iraq stated that he did not want the war between Iran and America to be hosted in his land. That's a fair request, but events will preclude idealism and in fact already have. It's true that the U.S. forces cannot and must not remain forever in Iraq. It is also true that the U.S. has no intentions of backing down now whether Nancy Peloci or other officials suggest otherwise. The politicians will turn over and over, but the fact will remain that America will wage worldwide war for decades to come. It's only warming up judging by the briefing to the U.S. Armed Services Committee 31 January 2007. Every branch reported great progress in producing more and better personnel including but not limited to SEALs. It appears that better and better personnel and more of them are in the pipeline which is consistent with long term continuous war. While You Sleep Missiles Advance A fabulous DoD briefing was offered in D.C. 29 January 2007 concerning the progress of the U.S. Missile Defense Program. Overall, things are looking good for THAAD, Theater High Altitude Area Defense along with a broad range of other strategic components like SBX, Sea Based X-Band Radar. In a briefing conduced by Brigadier General O'Riely before the press, DoD covered a number of high points of the MD program. One of the highest high points included the fact that the U.S. is actively marketing the system to other nations by way of seeking their cooperation. In effect, countries like Poland will actively seek and allow installation of key MD radar components in the near future. That in itself is one of the best overall "peace dividends" to have come about in many years because it indicates that other nations understand the threats of surprise missile attacks for which there are no defenses. America's MD system is vast and redundant. Simply knocking out one or two of its assets would not defeat the entire system. A lot of attention has been paid to simplicity, overall quick deployment and rapid serviceability. The defense system is located across the entire Pacific Ocean. Aegis class cruisers embody some but not all of the X-band selectivity. Satellites in low and high orbits augment the system, but unveiled Monday was also an oil platform sized dome radar ship that is moved constantly on the sea, the SBX. It's massively huge and is able to handle all weather conditions. The technology is getting better and better. The general presented a number of photos, movies charts and graphs. Actual intercepts were shown as they had occurred in testing. The challenge of any MD is to hit the target in the boost phase if at all possible. For now, that's still in the planning and research phase, but is coming. America's MD system appears to be working very well and will be needed in the not too distant future. The good news is that it's operational now and getting better all the time. Japan will also develop a new missile to be ready in 2010. The level of cooperation is good and should be since it's not just America that's a potential target of aggression world wide. Editor's note: Most CA Reps have consistently voted against "star wars" missile defense projects. Police Savagery a Nationwide Canker IJ carries a number of police misapplications of justice. These are everywhere and fairly routine. One came up in Houston that illustrates why pubs like IJ and the rest are so critical in the fight against corruption. No police department should ever be accountable only to itself. Notes On Firearm Safety As much as IJ wishes everyone well in getting CCW certified, it's well never to forget safety. In CA, it's illegal to have any guns available to children or for "a weapon" to be in any manner transferred to any individual other than the original owner. Look out on all the gotcha laws and get up to speed with the state, city and county of residence, especially in CA. Having a loaded weapon in a home is pretty much a set up for a tragedy. Legally, the use of "deadly force" is another matter. For a true break-in, the law is fairly straight forward, up to a point. This issue is covered to the extent possible down this page. No one should be giving any type of legal advice other than an attorney. Even then, the after effects of a shooting could be yet another tragedy. Proceed with extreme caution. On the other hand, a real threat must be met with force enough to repel it. Each situation is different. One thing is certain, shooting any firearm in a confined space could have unpredictable consequences. One consideration should be the "worse case scenario" for where a bullet finally stops. It could be inside another residence. Not good. If it manages to harm or to kill a person other than the attacker, legally speaking, that's bad timing. When considering calibers or gages of personal defense weapons, one should take the time to plan ammunition efficacy carefully. That is, to consider what will work, finish its job and then become non lethal? Obviously, heavy jacketed ammo with its high penetrating power is not a good choice for personal defense within today's thinly finished dwellings. That would include any ammo marked FMJ or full metal jacket. More later on this subject, and thanks for reading today. Daily Snipes Well, Iran's "short range nuke" is under test today. It's funny in a way. During the cold war years the Germans often quoted, "The shorter the range, the deader the German." What goes around comes around. Germany seems very detached and unconcerned these days about such things. Should we send 50,000 or 100,000 more men to Iraq? Hell yes. Then blast Iran and put "boots in Persia." Hey guys, we hear that "Persian pussy" is the best pussy in the world. We'll leave the light on for ya. Bush wants us to "get off oil dependence." We've had forty years to be doing that but Bush and family did everything to repress getting off heavy oil use. Remember? Uncle Fudd (Fear, uncertainty, doubt and deceit) has put out a "follow up" story in an attempt to deflect future criticism from the paper and other treasured socialist public officials like SFPD's Rob Davis. Everything in life is simply "a misunderstanding," suggests Davis. Locally, it works because of the need for heavy handed one-size-fits-all "law enforcement solutions" for absolutely everything. Thanks Rob. Could you please pass za pretzels und beer? In za future, vee vill send za requests for za informatzion typed in triplicate. Santa Clara County, the home of institutionalized authoritarians with emphasis on arians. Oh, almost forgot. Just one little "court order" from the vaunted "Superior Court of Santa Clara County" would clear up any "misunderstandings" about what all police forces should provide in terms of information. Along with that, should go a full investigation of anyone calling themselves a "chief." It will never happen in law enforcement heaven, CA. Uncle Fudd says so. Today's Salute to the State of Arkansas Courtesy "the web"
Defense Issues Hitting Home - Dems Dilemma, Dollars vs. Rhetoric Though it would seem logical to assume that the Democrats will block deployment of more troops to Iraq, second and third looks indicate otherwise. For one thing, the Democrats are in a touchy position in that they were elected with no clear mandate to do anything. They still have no plan of their own for what they would do differently from Bush, and a total pullout from Iraq isn't on the list. It can't be. To "cut" funding presents the wrong image at the wrong time too. If the American public believes congress ever left the troops without funds to defend themselves, a costly backfire could occur leaving the Dems out in the cold come 2008. What is stunning is the amount of money constantly being handed over to advanced defense projects like the newest Littoral Combat Ship. Each ship is slated to cost $1.3 billion and the whole project is in fairly big trouble, so much so that a temporary shut down of fabrication has been requested. At issue is the huge cost overrun that could even kill the project if not soon addressed. With money like this flying out the door it does not make logical sense to "try to save money in Iraq." Of course, it's not a money issue. They way it looks now, the Dems' hands are tied, damned if they dare to cut funding to any combat troops while they're still deployed anywhere. Liberals won't get this picture for quite a few months. To "satisfy the masses" the Dems will have to let loose with plenty of 1960s style hot air, then "cave in" to the leadership of Bush. It's either that or face a Republican takeover in 2008. From the Editor's Desk In recent months IJ has had to switch over to numerous national and international issues leaving Santa Clara County and the city of San Jose somewhat in the hands of Uncle Fudd. IJ is still here and keeping a quiet eye on what's going on. Not much has changed. This area is still the crucible of authoritarianism; i.e., wall-to-wall "law enforcement solutions" and as always Uncle Fudd is the one true friend of "law enforcement." Recently Uncle Fudd published a misleading story about how agencies of "law enforcement" provide little if any information to the public. That much of their story was true. The balance of the story was more of the usual stuff about deflecting any future criticism from "law enforcement." It must be remembered that "law enforcement" in all its forms eats most of the tax money throughout this state and the nation. No one in "law enforcement" has any plans ever to "work with the public" or to accept "public review" regardless of the situation. That's a very serious statement of just how well indoctrinated the civilian public is. That means YOU. If it's already such that people think that "only cops can do this" and "only cops can do that" without any challenge or review, that's a police state. This is a funny land too, one that would care to export democracy while at the same time attempting to force all its citizens onto the defensive and doing it through loving national newspaper chains. Uncle Fudd has numerous brothers and sisters all across America now, all answering to one big daddy who tells them what to tell you. That's bad news. Showdown With Condie IJ prefers never to discuss the loser Boxer who represents the stupidest state in America, California. That's because Babbsey-Wabsey does an excellent job of representing herself in the most negative senses of the term. She needs no assistance to be better known as the top loser ever to come from CA. The flare up between Boxer and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice during a Senate hearing did serve to better illustrate what IJ has been talking about for some weeks, however. The very public argument Boxer launched in her tirade on Condie not only served to underscore how crass Boxer is but also made a huge statement on the turnaround that is shaping up nationally. A lot of families are sending personnel "over there." Some families are sending both the mother and the father simultaneously. As in WWII, there is both pride and fear in becoming a military family. As more and more families are affected, the nation stands to change into a more warlike land than many had ever imagined possible. IJ has been presenting this evidence of "new nationalism" in the past several weeks. It's already here. Pretty soon, there will be many more public drives for signing up young people as America will turn over into total mobilization. Only this week the President began setting that new tone and timed it very well with his recent public address. That just burns up liberals everywhere who want very badly to relive the 1960s, so much so they can even taste in their mouths. It's not to be. America is faced with violent enemies abroad and won't have any choice but to raise armies and ship out. What Boxer also failed to see is the fact that the Secretary of State does not make the decisions to go to war. If anything, Condie has acted like a true diplomat for years, far outperforming Boxer and most other people on the hill. At the core of it all is jealously. Boxer could never be a Condie in her wildest dreams. All of CA suffers whenever Boxer opens her stupid mouth too. As usual, she didn't accomplish anything for anyone. She'll be pushed aside as all the tanks role out to battles all over the globe. What Perl Harbor Cost Never mind the loss in human life or ships, the real cost of Perl Harbor continues to this day. It's easy to see because the staggering cost is everywhere. Currently, GAO will admit to $375 billion in direct costs in Iraq. That's really an understatement. No one anywhere can provide truly accurate numbers for what it costs to deploy one U.S. fleet. Considering that today's fleet has at least two nuclear carriers in it, the cost soars quickly. They'll admit to $3 billion for one carrier, but that begs all the rest like manning it, supplying it and outfitting it with multi million dollar planes. Today's submarines cost at least $1 billion each. A fleet needs two of those. Outfitting a sub is even more money. Also, considering personnel, oilier supply and all the rest, the cost for operating a feet continues to soar. Leading up to the December 7 attack, all kinds of warnings were plainly everywhere. The tone of the times had been "wait and see." It's dumbfounding to reflect on the letter written by Billy Mitchell of December 13, 1925 in which he stated exactly where and how the Japanese would strike Perl. People like Mitchell were deliberately silenced by the military, and to some extent by the public at large. No one wanted war or even having to think about it. If only people could have simply calculated the cost of inaction in those times they would have foreseen that they were not only acting for themselves but also for many future generations. The Japanese could have been stopped many different times, but were allowed to continue to take anything they wanted, all over the Pacific. They bought themselves a lot of time, even to the bitter end, with a false "negotiation" agenda. In the process, they managed to set naval history and to destroy forever America's blissful view of a rosy world. So, the huge costs of inaction then continue to this day. At the core of it, Americans know that they may count on no one to remain free and that they should never assume too much of anything regarding the intentions of other lands. This frequently non verbalized sentiment is merely just below the surface. It stirs from time to time and when it does, some other nation out there will be very sorry it did. December 7, 1941 fried America for good. If only there were some way to undo the insult and hurt of that day. If it could be undone, America and the world would have been "Pre 9/11" forever. What bliss that would have been. There'd be free health care for all, new beautiful schools, totally free public transit and on and on and on. Terrorists of the 1940s ensured that the word bliss would never be for human consumption. America became a tough and mean bastard accordingly. Somalia Dress Rehearsal for Iranian Bombardment While en route to the Red Sea, U.S. battle groups were tasked with a "training exercise," that of "cleaning up a little mess" in Somalia. Not too surprisingly, many elements of the fleet were pressed into service including the land based AC-130 Spector, an airborne gunship. Things have really heated up this week despite the Kennedy/Murtha style anti war attacks mounted in both the U.S. Senate and House. Such posturing is to be expected and is more furtive in nature than many observers could accept. When the President announces his plans for Iraq on Wednesday, he'll be careful not to mention Iran*. That's because of the huge buildup that is ongoing for the smashing of Iran, probably during the Spring and probably sooner than later. [ *Editors note: Wrong on that one. He went much farther to delineate his concerns. ] "Succeeding in Iraq also requires defending its territorial integrity – and stabilizing the region in the face of the extremist challenge. This begins with addressing Iran and Syria. These two regimes are allowing terrorists and insurgents to use their territory to move in and out of Iraq. Iran is providing material support for attacks on American troops. We will disrupt the attacks on our forces. We will interrupt the flow of support from Iran and Syria. And we will seek out and destroy the networks providing advanced weaponry and training to our enemies in Iraq." President Bush, 1/10/07 In the mean time, "targets of opportunity" will be engaged whenever and wherever they may be found. For now, hitting Somalia makes sense because it's a wide open test range full of unwanted human life and will serve well as a test bed for command operations plus a few defense contractors who've come along for the ride. A few more officers need to get their next bar or half bar. They'll have them in time for Iran it appears. No matter what is being loudly said publicly about the need to pull out of Iraq, all of it will suddenly shift soon, especially if a new huge terrorist attack occurs anywhere in the world. Bush is completely free to act at will and will do so at any time with or without the expressed approval of any legislative body. No one in Iran should be getting a very good night's sleep now. It's just a question of time until the bombs start falling. It's going to be very costly, but no one should begin to underestimate the shear will of the American military establishment. It's going to be loud and bloody. The "troop buildup" is also staged ostensibly to mean "Iraq" when in fact it is geared more towards the problems elsewhere as with Iran. "The Great Satan" will hit like a Scorpion anywhere it cares to without too much trouble, more so as time goes on. People need to start recalculating their positions, especially the skeptical ones who live here. America is not in a state of retreat and probably never will be. A renewed sense of national pride is sweeping this nation. No one could have predicted this, but it's here to stay. More "Jonnies" are signing up and more are coming home forever changed. This was a bad time in history for anyone to have imagined a "free ride" in a world devoid of the American military presence. It won't happen now or at any time in the next fifty years. Terrorists ensured that a long time ago. The Poor Man's Guide To 'Escort Services' Ha! In getting off, no pun intended, to a happy new year, this list is provided to men across the world so that they will have guidance prior to the time of need. The list was clipped from a random source who's owner did not care to be identified. IJ strives to give credit where it is due, but this one is "public domain."

Why We Fight This is a good day to reflect on the reasons for being American. To a good part of the world most things American are repugnant. That’s really too bad. It seems this land forks over lives and billions of dollars to do the improbable like try to make the world a better place to live in, to be free of maniacs in control. In minute ways at times there is at least some appreciation for these efforts. The rest of the time America is the world’s slime ball, “The Great Satan,” and even worse. It’s always tough to be a world leader. Although the estimates vary quite a bit, America probably has spent close to $2 trillion dollars on trying to straighten out the mess in Iraq, so far. That includes the 1991 war in which the U.S. had not only to do its own role as a “coalition force” but also had to support financially the rest of the “coalition forces” that participated in freeing Kuwait from Saddam’s invaders. Tack on to that the high cost of putting out the oil well fires that Saddam’s men set as they retreated across the desert. No one ever provided the environmental clean up costs, but it’s a sure bet that the U.S. footed the bill for a good part of that too. Then add in the twelve or more years of aerial patrols to keep Saddam from killing the rest of the Kurds. During that time Saddam remained both boisterous and belligerent to all as he continued killing his own people whenever he wished. People have forgotten long ago all about the poor little marsh Arabs who never hurt a soul. They and the marshes were destroyed very completely by Saddam. Never forget the losses on ships like the Cole or the Stark. At each turn, men, women and material have gone under whether in combat directly or not. The monuments are everywhere all across this land. There are no complete estimates available from Iran as to what the costs were to fight Saddam, only in the lives lost. They say that one million Iranian soldiers died in the wars with Saddam, many due to chemical warfare. It is true that the U.S. provided those weapons, a fact often overlooked. When the search started for WMD it was based in part on knowledge of what had been shipped to Iraq by U.S. sponsored producers. Strangely, America even paid out on that. Today it is necessary to add in nearly 3,000 American combatants now dead, fighting for “freedom” in Iraq. Coupled to 9/11 losses, it won’t be much longer to be able to say that the “war on terrorism” will have cost 6,000 lives, at the present rate. It’s always tough to put a price on a human life, but just consider what one ready-to-go GI must cost. One infantryman probably costs $200,000 up to deployment time, never mind his life. So now to ask the simple question of why do we fight, a very good question especially now. Do we ask too much of ourselves or are we such screwy idealists that we can’t even cope with questions? There have been plenty of questions and “messages sent” lately, so there’s no dearth of debate. Still, the question will long remain, why do we fight? More importantly, what do we expect and whatever could we expect? Well, at least the “government of Iraq” can hold a trial or two. They seem able to hand out some amount of justice though at times appear to be only on the thin edge of control. At least that much came today, a small amount of justice. U.S. Sold WMD To Saddam Hussein The question is always asked, "How was it known that Saddam Hussein had WMD, weapons of mass destruction?" The answer may be this: Because American companies sold them to him. Editor's note: It is not known who leaked this report, but it could have come from Iraq or anywhere. One of the key things in "verification" always has been and always will be the "secrecy for the sake of secrecy" exhibited by any/all parts of the defense establishment. In the end, only the American public is in suspense as to what the costs are/were for defense. That is in keeping with "the need to know" and also "national security" for whatever that means to the individual tax payer who foots the bills rightly or wrongly. [This article was taken from an open source on the Internet and could be inaccurate. However, the companies listed are definitely involved in "defense." Berlin's left-wing Die Tageszeitung newspaper said it had seen a copy of the original Iraqi dossier which was vetted for sensitive information by US officials before being handed to the five permanent Security Council members. An edited version was then passed to the remaining 10 members of the Security Council. None of this ever came to the American public. ] When the massive pile of documents from Iraq appeared, the U.S. immediately pulled out all stops to get first access, to shut down wide dissemination. The smart money said there would be evidence of U.S. culpability in aiding the Iraqi weapons programs. As reported in Die Tageszeitung, here is a list of US and European corporations that supplied Iraq with nuclear, chemical, biological, and missile technology, prior to 1991. The list comes, it seems, from the original Iraqi report to the United Nations Security Council. U.S. corporations involved: A - nuclear 1) Honeywell (R,K) In Addition to the 24 companies based in the US are nearly 50 subsidiaries of foreign enterprises whose arms co-operation with Iraq seems to have been operated from the US. The U.S. departments of defense, energy, trade, and agriculture, as well as the U.S. nuclear weapons laboratories at Lawrence Livermore, Los Alamos, and Sandia labs, are designated as suppliers for the Iraqi arms programs for A, B, and K-weapons as well as for rockets. Iraq's 11,000-page report to the UN Security Council lists 150 foreign companies, including some from America, Britain, Germany and France, that supported Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction program, a German newspaper said. One Dictator Down, One To Go The same things that lead up to the wars with Iraq are brewing with Iran, including the Saddam style blustering by Amadenijad. Originally, Saddam DID HAVE WMD all over his land, including nuclear WMD. Most were disabled in 1991 after Saddam's forces were purged from Kuwait. Other WMD were never found, but that did not mean they had never existed. With the execution today of Saddam Hussein, the next logical tyrant for such fate will be Iran's President Amadenijad. This may take ten or more years, but will be a goal realized. Tough 'Naval Talk' Working in UN Not so surprisingly, Russia has had to climb on board with an official Security Council vote that will impose sanctions on Iran for failure to comply with prior UN resolutions. They've seen all the sad signs as just about every anchor in the U.S. Navy has been weighed or is soon scheduled to be. In football a funny defensive phrase is sometimes used, "I'll meet you at the quarterback." Ha, this time it's "I'll be seeing you in the Red Sea." It may as well be home base for U.S. Naval forces. Everything that can navigate the seas is headed there now. No one is "joking around" this time. No one in the free world needs Iran for anything, not even its oil. No one needs any amount of nuclear proliferation. And, no one needs the Russians for much of anything either. They know that very well at this point. For a change, they're actually scared about what's going to happen. Good! The people of Iran are also slowly waking up to the realization that they have absolutely everything to lose with their current government. They've reacted quite predictably as any repressed bunch of citizens would. However, it's too little too late. Madmen are in charge now and they must be eliminated. That means a great deal of suffering to the "ordinary people." It could be suggested for those living next to military targets that this would be a good time to move. Like most totalitarian governments, Iranian leadership doesn't mind if its citizens are fried up like dough in a hot pan. That's forthcoming, probably sooner than later. As far a arrogance goes, there's plenty of it ready to be uncorked by America. Only real fools could imagine how someone like Bush is somehow a "broken man." Nothing could be more wrong. He's got nothing to lose now, only everything to gain by launching an all out war against Iran. The latest UN "sanctions" are nice, but don't get the job done. The sooner Iran completely disarms itself the better for all its poor little broken down citizens who want only bread and a place to sleep. Think it over everyone. Think about it a lot. Bush sleeps quite peacefully and loves every moment of his life as President. A totally blown up Iran will be only a wisp in his memory when he ages to very old age having written thirty or more trite and useless books. No one in America will remember or even care that Iran was totally wasted one day long long ago. "Negotiate peace through strength" Ronald Reagan "I won't leave office with Iran nuclear capable" Bush II IJ's Year End Editorial by Michael G. Bradford The year 2006 has been a very eventful year both locally and internationally. In Santa Clara Valley, people stood up to say no to socialism a number of times, despite interference from outside sources, most notably in the November elections. Internationally, America has moved much closer to realizing its new military role in the world. President Bush is now climbing on board with what IJ has previously predicted as the coming total mobilization. His first installment is for only 10,000 new troops that the Pentagon predicts will cost an additional $1.2 billon. The new congress will have to shut up and accept this. Despite the "message sent to Bush" in the November election, no one is going to be in any mood to "cut and run." It simply won't go over very well. Even Kennedy will have to shut up. It should be remembered that Democrats are the party of war, traditionally speaking. This is as it should be and I can't find fault with that now as the nation prepares for all out war. A number of you have written throughout the year with various observations and suggestions. I appreciate the amount of continuing attention that IJ has received. When I started this little paper I often wondered where I'd wind up and how long it would keep going. Well, it's still going after three years and continues to go around the globe. Not too bad for a kid who used to tinker with amateur radio and dreamed of sending messages "far far away." My cup runneth over. Although it is presumptuous for me to "take credit" for the way things are going, I should say that I've been right many many times during the last three years. Right or not, public attention must remain highly focused on the number of ills in our great society including but not limited to corruption. America must never be allowed to slip into becoming a police state. At times I've been greatly surprised how well many of you have stood up to such strangulation attempts on the part of some of our dumb bell elected officials. I've even been somewhat relieved to find that most of those in charge are actually too stupid ever to orchestrate anything even approaching a police state. Having said that, it remains for everyone everywhere to stay alert to "little tricks" that our elected idiots like to pull. With your continued involvement, we'll be just fine. Don't forget to watch your local cops like a hawk. They like to slip here and there. Remember, you pay for everything they do. Everything! I'd like to wish all of you a Merry Christmas this year since no one can stop me from doing that and I don't "have to watch my step." When the days return in which I can simply say what I think and no one will bother with any type of backlash, I guess I'll call that my "retirement." I don't see it coming any time soon and I fully intend to continue airing any/all of my thoughts throughout this publication, be assured of that much! I see 2007 shaping up as one very tough year. We'll be "going over there" to Iran and smashing it to pieces despite what anyone thinks. Hell, we're already "over there" with enough firepower to flatten Iran forever. I don't feel sorry for anyone at this point, only that I had to screw with this subject that could have been avoided completely all on their part. I could have spent my midlife with "birds and flowers" but instead, I've had to go the extra miles to ensure that all of you damn well wake up and realize what's coming down. I don't enjoy it, not one damn bit. I know you don't either. The price of inaction and all out stupidity is for all the airlines to be knocked out, the world economy to be smashed and everyone and everything destroyed in the name of a false religion. I don't believe you had that in mind either.
Peace on Earth, good will towards man, but carry a big gun and know how to use it, Michael G. Bradford - The Independence Journal of the Western United States of America
Iran Now a "Sitting Duck" With the opening of its "heavy water plant" Iran has put forward one of the greatest dares of all times. Just as the Germans before her, Iran has openly asked for it. She may as well have painted a big target across all of Persia. The dare will be answered and answered very soon. IJ has been reporting on the coming end of Iran. This will be just the first installment of things yet to come. Heroes are born every day just like the ones who attacked Norway during WWII. It's really too bad for all the innocent Persians. They will come to grief.
Islam, the Greatest Threat to Civil Order Ever With Islamic maniacs on the loose in America, a new level of civil unrest is soon to be realized all across this land. The original "peaceful" Muslims were not a problem here. Now, as in Britain, their ranks are being invaded by the more violent extremists who take literally the quote from the Koran that says "one must be a martyr in order to go to heaven." With that, there is little hope. These madmen have to be controlled and the fewer in America the better. How dangerous are Muslims?
The American Need for "Push Button Warfare" In the cold war years, numerous public service ads ran across America's TV screens with someone, usually from the Army, stating, "No matter what happens, 'the man with the rifle' will always be needed in any conflict no matter where in the world it occurs." It sounded good then, but time has passed. Today's American is for the most part a lazy out-of-shape person who's mainly interested in sitting in front of a giant TV screen and playing various games. "Pushing a button" is just a way of life to nearly everyone in the states. With today's realization that there always will be a continuing shortage of "boots" it isn't too difficult to imagine a time soon coming when most wars truly will be "push button." It stands to reason. Any other nation that would deliberately provoke the inherently lazy Americans should look out. It won't just be remote "drones" with missiles aboard either. It'll be everything including nukes. Some hostile lands out there are actually ridiculous enough to believe in themselves so much that they could falsely claim they would "rule the world," given enough time. Well, the day they actually manage to disturb some lazy out-of-shape American who was merely sitting in front of his giant TV minding his own business, again look out. It'll be time to "push a button" so the lazy ones can get back to their pleasant distractions. What nation would dare ever to test this theory? Just one little thing: This is a VERY DANGEROUS time! Any time a weak President is on his way out, look out! Bush IS on record saying, "I won't leave office with Iran nuclear capable." He should be taken at his word, ESPECIALLY because he is a failure everywhere. Everyone knows that much or should by now. Today's Reading Either way, war or peace with Iran, this is good review. Hungary for Justice? (A Marshall McLuhn's "Medium is the message" takeoff, probably went over everyone's little head like a rocket?) Who says this ever could be a "non intellect's" site? (IJ will get back to Hungary some other time, home of the smashed ones familiar with jackboots aplenty.) The wonderful world of Saudi is but a click away. Learn how to ice the tough ones in a world of abject unforgiveness towards all. People are so loving, especially "our friends" the Saudis who are only here to help us. Piousness really means something and is meted out quite liberally before all. You guys need any more F16s or anything? Just wanted to know since you are our dear, dear friends forever and anon. Selah.
Putin Knows for Sure The anthrax attack a few days after 9/11 is completely solved already, well in Russia that is. They know what the American public will never be told until decades from now when "the files" will be opened for some far out reason like after the end of the U.S.S.R. Since "national security" is at stake, no info on who really did the crime because it was right out of Aberdeen, done by our own flesh and blood. The commies know all about it and everyone can bank on it. If Putin really wanted to "come clean" he'd drop that bomb sitting in his desk soon. He can't. It's fun to be back in the saddle again in an exclusive killers' club, just like the old Soviet days, complete with all the perks. Who are we really at war with? Iraq? Iran? No, Russia. The cold war never ended. They intend to rearm Iran with everything they can ship, paid for or not. How long will the U.S. wait to blow up a Russian "soviet block country" of old? Winter Travel Tips It's absurd to imagine that most people would have ever taken anything like the Air Force's survival course or even heard of it. However, survival in the outdoors, especially with snow on the ground, is worth consideration for what it is at this time of year. It's tough at best. An unprepared person may tolerate only a few hours of exposure before dying. Limiting exposure is the key. In addition to that and since the West is earthquake country, it's wise to carry more than just tire chains in a vehicle throughout the year. One thing never to carry in any vehicle is a spare can of gas. A can of gas is the same as a bomb. A small box of essentials is better than nothing at all. In it should be emergency blankets, matches, long term food rations that need no heating or water, a knife and at least a small first aid kit. Another thing to put in the box is a survival manual. These are available at many stores that sell earthquake supplies. One thing that is most often overlooked by the public is that often times the military or ex-military personnel will be the ones first looking for lost individuals. For that reason, IJ goes the additional step of referring to some of the International signaling standards, ground to air. These are important to know something about and critical when lost in a forest or desert. Leaving a definite ground track or signal, in the absence of any other communication, will assure that someone from the air will find it. Think BIG if this situation ever becomes a reality. The bigger the better. A simple "X," if it's big enough, may attract good attention. Again, think BIG. Although it's good to have flares on hand, they may not be available. A controlled fire is always a good substitute, however. Smoke is what is needed more than fire. Forest officials are looking for smoke always. It shows up in satellite imagery well enough to provide a clue. Cell phones may not hit a tower in a remote location, but they too are worth the try. A "ping" from one may be of some help in locating someone who's lost. Better yet is a real two way radio like CB or an ELT, Emergency Locator Transponder. ELTs are sold for maritime use and are Coast Guard approved. They cost money though and are rarely to be found in anyone's car. Aviation band two way radios are also good to have on hand since all pilots must now monitor 121.5 Few people other than aviators my be aware of this fact though. Small signal mirrors are very valuable. It's possible to break off a rear view mirror and use it for signaling. An ordinary camera flash will carry twenty or more miles on a clear night. It could be a real life saver. Cold is the enemy. Most of the time should be spent building at least a makeshift shelter for the night. It's a good idea to start early in the day, not waiting until the afternoon to get started. Panic must be controlled completely. Staying as calm as possible is key to everything. All of this information is in the Air Force Survival Guide or the sample guide linked here. [No liability express or implied by IJ or anyone else. This is good but dated information. It's just a sample.] Of note, one should be aware that waving at aircraft is not a distress signal as such. It's better to put one's arms straight up. Of course, the police probably realize that the stateside inexperienced will do the reverse. Survival is up to you! Bloomberg's Blues The biggest anti-gun mayor in the United States is "shocked, positively shocked" to find out that his cops (with "high capacity magazines" not permitted any longer in the civilian population) could haul off and empty fifty rounds into car on the pretext that "they were trying to get away." What a mouthful and what a shit load of bull. If anyone had any doubts about how a Hitler style police state is administrated and expanded, they need only look at New York. The "order to Jews" listed down this page is alive and well in New York. It is today's gun control law, dictated verbatim from the Third Riche. Doubts? Just have a look, down this page, courtesy of Jews for the Preservation of Firearm Ownership. A police state is usually total, all or nothing. No wonder the colored crowd is so mad and up in arms? They should be. Another garbage "chief of police" is at it again. Get this, NOTHING will come of this latest execution. NOTHING. Just a little tears, to make it look not so bad. Then, on to the next one. Hell, the last one was forty-seven rounds on a black man standing a doorway, unarmed. Makes sense. Be sure to fire close to fifty rounds to execute "a dirt bag darky." New York thought it was exempt from the KKK, etc.? Of course, "the Jewish population" is once again sound asleep. It's so nice to doze in a police state right up the time one must "board a train" to be "relocated." Pacifism did that. It's doing it again. At first it will be "undesirables." Then what? It has to be somebody. Hitler wouldn't mind if all "the darkies" were exterminated. He longed to get over here to do just that. Bloomberg is a fine one to "administer 'gun' justice." More Zunder SS it would seem? No guns were found in the car. No officer was at risk, as usual. That's true of all executions. IJ's Top Film Pick Thanksgiving being over, it's still time to give thanks. Thanks being for the types of freedoms that exist in this democracy. Sophie Scholl is already a foreign film winner twice for best actress and was nominated for an Academy Award in 2005.
This film should be required viewing in America, starting with the U.S. Congress. However, the people of Santa Clara County would also be well served to view this film since they've lately had a taste of what socialism is and what socialism does. Available at the BIG film outlet in most shopping centers, if BIG means anything anymore. No excuses like "never heard of it" or "couldn't find it." Delores Carr, an office holder in Santa Clara County, is especially invited to "go to all the trouble to check out and review Sophie Scholl." She should attempt to experience empathy with the lead character, if at all possible. It'll be a tough assignment, but it may be possible after enough hours of rewinding and revisiting the film. How about all during the Christmas holidays while she is off? That would be a good time to "get in touch with such things as 'the lives of ordinary people,' etc." She seems to have such leanings already, and that is good to know. Fear and Intimidation Alive and Well in Santa Clara County Though it's been a while since one of those euphemistically called "officer involved shootings" has happened, it's never too far around the next corner. Unfortunately, a "dry spell" around here often precedes the next violent cop outburst. IJ is an old pioneer at predicting the inevitable in San Jose and vicinity, so look out. Be sure your "potato peeler" is holstered at all times and even registered. If you enjoy life in a police state, congratulations, you'd be home now. Footnote: The City of South San Francisco (near San Francisco) has had a very ugly incident in which an "off duty cop" shot and killed a man's prized dog for no good reason. The dog started playing with a woman's dog she was walking in a small neighborhood park. Her cop boyfriend was with her and automatically drew and fired killing the other dog. "The chief of police" says that there'll be an "internal investigation" in which the cop will be cleared, as usual. This once again illustrates the shear hateful contempt the police have for citizens across the board. "Off duty" officers should not be "carrying" it seems. Had a private citizen done what this cop did, he'd be on his way to Soledad for the next several years. The citizen is lucky the cop didn't just go ahead and kill him too because that would have been okay. Anything a cop does is good so say all the juries. In a confrontation with "the police" the cops are the winners. Killing is just part of the job. The man was devastated and the park is frequented by children. Yet, to "the police" this event is still a public relations bonanza. Who needs "gangs" or "drugs" in our little parks when "the police" will suffice? IJ Achieves Intense International Readership It is with great pleasure that IJ recognizes all the readers beyond U.S. shores. When people really want to know what's going on, they come to the IJ. Thank you. Editorial note: IJ is the well known paper it is today because people like you took the time to forward this URL. Thank you! There's no award like the one you give to IJ every time you come here. Again, we thank you! Seen This Film? Obsession Just some light entertainment. Discrimination? The recent hassle down at the airport over whether Imams got to continue on a flight was very eye opening, but for whom? After getting kicked off the U.S. Air flight, the six Muslims claimed to have been discriminated against, especially since at least one of them was a U.S. citizen. Several concerned citizens spoke up. What's a passenger to think when they see "foreign looking men" praying before they get on a flight? That these are tough times is an understatement. Many people have an inherent fear of flying in the first place. It stands to reason to report anything that looks unusual. That's the crux of the matter. Everything in America is becoming unusual. As far a Muslims go, hundreds of years would have gone by without much awareness of them, but for 9/11. None of them should expect too much at this point, not here, not now and not ever. What most of the new foreign crowd can't figure out is that America went through years and years of racial turmoil with blacks and black issues. There are still problems today and always will be, but for any new group to enter America and to start expecting any type of special treatment is far out of line, especially when "their kind" is chanting "death to America" so loudly in the "holy lands." Americans are very resilient. That fact has been demonstrated over and over again throughout the history of the land. Resiliency is America's greatest national asset and is even a secret national treasure. Resiliency converts loosely to "the ability to endure and to endure well." That's the deal. Resiliency does not include tolerating extremists for very long. What the poor little Muslims didn't figure on was that in their meekness and sweetness they were easily set up for radicalization. That was very costly to them and their causes, for good. Getting sucked into something never was an excuse or a reason. America has gone through this sort of exercise before with violent "hippies" from the past and some other true misfits. Social movements tend to be temporary here. That makes it much more difficult to get too worked up by some huff and puff Iranian president who could be blown away at any time along with the rest of his ilk. A lot can go wrong with heavy duty new technology as well. "God will encircle man in his cleverness," Muslim or not, ready or not. No Muslim, Iranian or any other "Arab" should be looking forward too much to "acceptance" at this point. It takes no reasoning to see this. People are burned out with "cutting slack" to this or that non white group. America is facing a severe enough crisis with Mexicans too. That won't go away. Strangely, the situation works out as a sort of "insurance policy" that should prevent Islamification of America for a century to come. Not so in Russia where it is fully expected that by 2050 at least forty percent of that land will be Islamic. When violence is okay in any religious
context, expect violence right back or at least big servings of suspicion.
Also, expect that no human forgives much of anything. Americans are pretty
good at resolving serious differences, often with guns. American Fashionware Fabulous Announcing the new "sameness pattern" that will supplant the American love affair with blue jeans soon. Yes, it's coming and everyone is getting ready for it. The mills are cranking up for the expected surge in sales, mostly stateside, as every man, woman and child will soon be sporting these new duds. The target patronage should be about 225,000 total personnel though the Pentagon vehemently maintains NO, that's not the idea. Yet, the public will speak loud and clear and will be heard, "We've just begun to fight!"
After years and years of research, DoD finally has the correct ideas and chemicals that make the BDU what a BDU should be. It needs to be tough yet allow for air to penetrate. Though traditionally male in its constitution, everyone will be welcomed to wear the very best. Some refinements will be allowed for the ladies, however. That's democratic after all. When it comes to "the American will" it's pretty fatal to test such things. There's plenty of complaining to go around, but "when duty whispers low 'thou must' the youth replies 'I can'. " It was foolish for any "foreign land" to "test the principle." Much more costly than imagined. Planning is already underway for all the new memorials that will be needed so that everyone will get his name embossed on one. No one ever will be forgotten. The world insists on this both coming and going, good or bad, but here especially. IJ would like to take the time to salute the whole new generation of fighting personnel some not even born yet. As the world policemen, you will do your duty to ensure the rest of the world gets the correct message. At times, it will be difficult, but you will succeed. You'll have to. "They hurt us in their coming. They hurt us in their going too." Mothers United Arab Emirates - A funny little land for funny little rich ones ...who do funny little things like spend money like water and turn their backs on fundamentalism. Boy, and America was so set up before 9/11? Well, these guys have really flown in the face of extremist "reasoning." And, so be it. Money conquers all in the end, so they believe, just like Americans.
It turns out that Abu Dhabi is more visited than Hawaii. The ruling sheik has literally dumped billions into to creation of an artificial world, far beyond what Disney in all his wonderment could have done. Yet, it sits in a powder keg of hatred for all things "American" in appearance. Nothing about the creation is temporary. Years of planning have yielded temptingly tall structures, one of which will become the tallest building in the world. Nothing about Abu Dhabi is Arab. That's a hell of a statement because right next door is Saudi Arabia, home of the most fundamental of the fundamentalists, the kind who hate absolutely everything "non traditional." The Saudis, in so many words, were key to attacking America on 9/11 and still produce the most hateful anti American materials in the world. If this all were a joke it would be funny, but the joke is on everyone including all "Americans" and their protégées. Oh well, with all the American firepower patrolling the Persian Gulf, freedom rings loud, true and clear for everyone in the big UAE. Do they ever reflect on that fact or do they just do as they do? And some citizens here thought that the American military establishment was just a bunch of Bush junk? "Freedom's just another word for nothing else to lose" All the Winks Turn Soon to Tears Well, it's a nice day. Democrats are in control. Bush is on the defensive and all is well in America. So, as the next congress sits its collective butt down to rest, the time to start planning is coming along just fine. Planning, as in total military mobilization, can't be put under the bed anymore. The draft will be a good idea. This time everyone, regardless of age, will have a role in what's coming down. The coming war, well the existing war, will be going for about one hundred years or so. That'll allow plenty of time for all aspects of war. Some will go "over there," while others will take government sponsored jobs in war plants. Some will push pencils, etc. Everyone will by bonds. Finally, the war will be right here, complete with trenches and revetments. It's coming. To prepare for peace, prepare for war. Today's Highly Offensive Photos This series has turned out to be the best feature in IJ's history. Offending is a very important subject to everyone it seems and worth the time to delve into too.
It's always good to publish highly offensive photos or images since they would not be discussed otherwise. IJ makes sure such things are discussed, in keeping with what is a democracy, an equally offensive concept in the total world. Just one more reason why the world comes to IJ for a total surprise every day. A surprise is a miracle by another name. "Consider the lilies how they grow" Feinstein Down to the Lowest Level Not a word out of her during the last election, but she's got plenty of time to dabble in petty local sports politics, in keeping with other high office holders like indicted Ron Gonzales, San Jose City Mayor. With all the major issues CA faces, this is the best she can do. It's no wonder all the major problems facing the nation will go unresolved this year. The past election was not a Democratic Party mandate by any means. Dianne shows why. To think that a real senator would have time for such things is an insult to the office, the state, the nation and the world. Of course, she'll be only too happy to spout off that "we should enter into 'bi lateral talks' " stuff with the worlds extremists. Not a good message today. Not a good omen for any reason. Why bother with faking a senator's office ship when the heart is elsewhere? Today's Highly Offensive Photo Contest - And the winner is: IJ strives "to be objective" to the maximum extent possible at all times. The below photo is an example for just how much farther "restrictions" could go in America and elsewhere. For our readers in the Middle East, this photo may be so upsetting as to kill the rest of the day. For our stateside readers, this "soon to be nasty depiction" is somewhat a view into the future. What if truly repressive mentality were transplanted to America, took root and took off? Not only would the photo be a shame, it would be a felony and also enough to draw the death penalty. Such was the case in Afghanistan not so long ago. Many a girl was shot in the back of the head on the soccer field for only what this photo could suggest, a little paint. Nice idea? Yes, to extremists everywhere.
Today's gardening tip: NEVER plant bamboo in your yard or anyone else's! Fidel Comes Down Another Notch Not quite down and out, but it's on the way and long overdue. Poor Feinstein. She'll have to hurry if she ever expects that wonderful Commie welcome wagon she could have received. Time is running out, for Boxer too. Well, after the fact they'll go there and sing "Guantanamera" and remember "the good old days." Then it'll be time to rip off everything for themselves. Cuban sugar will be so sweet after Castro, but not half as sweet as the money grabbing will be. There will be a show down with Hugo Chavez over Cuba someday soon. Venezuela hands over $1.3 to $2 billion each year to Castro. He'll want to collect too. He should. We'll need to finally make good on "the bay of pigs" on his behalf. It'll never happen though unless or until he pulls some "Noriega" style faux pas on the U.S. Then maybe. We're so sweet and understanding here in the U.S. We put up with dictators until it's far late in the game. It's funny to note also that no matter how Commie things ever get, that form of government is incapable of supporting itself. Cuba stands out as just such a shining example of what Commie does and what Commie means, precisely nothing. Ironically, Castro gets to die a reasonably comfortable death, dying of "old age" compared to the horrors he handed out for decades. Evil is as evil does. Bitterness in January Despite all the coy "soft talk" about "working together" January forward will be hell. The President will soon be backed into the corner, vetoing everything in sight. The Dems will manipulate the situation as much as possible; i.e., saying one thing and doing another. It won't be good for anyone. The war in Iraq will go on as is. Some fool terrorist will soon stage a big "get out of here blast" that will backfire all the way across America. What Iranians don't know and never will understand is the deep level of resolve to kill the enemy. America is not a land of "peace on Earth." That is merely window dressing for the headstrong authoritarian military/defense establishment. Any fool in any foreign land who thinks "it's over" and/or "we won" better recalculate. When "the attack" comes wherever it is, the one that should "break the will of all Americans," all hell will break loose. Everything and everyone will suddenly mobilize and "go over there." Only a total idiot would predict otherwise. History says this loud and clear, but especially for a warring land like this one. Consider what pride is. When it comes right down to it, everyone loves "the black wall" up in D.C. and secretly wishes that some day their own names were on it. Screwy, yes, but the fascination with "dying for one's country" is there and always has been. It just won't go away. It's like belonging to a certain school. The person always identifies with it, forever. Some very old men still refer to themselves as "Marines" even if they can't walk. Prop. 83 the Trojan's Horse The public is easily swayed these days because fear is huge, especially anything to do with kids and their well being. History may show that this overreaction has foisted upon CA high ongoing costs and off-shooting court rulings that will do far more harm than good. First of all, no really good estimates are floating about just what "Jessica's Law" will cost in technology alone. Permanent GPS for life sounds very tempting to tag someone with, but the costs for such a statewide system could be $100 million to administrate. There are some other considerations too like how Child Protective Services in most cases is at the end of its budgetary rope. So many kids have to pulled from homes each year due to drugs, bad home setting, etc. that it's sickening. None of the $100 million will ever go to CPS or anything like it. So, a blanket "law enforcement solution" dumped on top of an already rickety system is of little help there, if the purpose was ever to "serve kids." In years past, people have been quite literally dumped in places like Shasta, CA, a small Northern CA town that once posted a huge highway billboard sign that said "Don't Send Child Molesters Here," or words to that effect. The new 2000 foot rule may very will trigger just such a situation again. The rule means no offender may live within 2000 feet of a school or any place children may congregate. Some offenders will have to move before January 1, 2007 to comply or go to jail because it's pretty hard to be 2000 feet at all times from such places in cities of any size. An important question is just how far will "tracking" go? Traditionally, laws are enacted but over time they are amended. Today's "Jessica's Law" easily is tomorrow's "track every body and every thing law" because it can be done. Some would say that's okay too citing examples, that as for the U.K. terrorist attacks, outdoor cameras were key in solving the case. When it comes down to "possession" though, then what? Does a pair of binoculars qualify as a violation some day because they "could" be used to view distant places including kids? That's the problem, the little tack-on rulings or expansions. At what point does "dealing with the offender" overflow onto the unsuspecting public? This is not a new concept. A cursory review of laws governing gun ownership is very eye opening. A lot of these add-on laws were kicked into existence because "it made sense" or "who would have challenged that kind of law?" Guns are bad, everyone "knows that." Today it's quite possible to be "a criminal" without knowing it. Some people have had to find out the hard way, especially in states like Massachusetts. This gets back to porn and what is and is not acceptable. At what point does going to "one of those sites" set a person up? Today, it's not much of a problem, but little add-on laws are coming here and there just like with the gun laws. It's going to be difficult in the end to figure out what could be a violation. The ordinary citizen then easily falls victim. It's worth thinking about. The Dems Falsest Claim Ever They say that during the eight years of the Clinton Administration, "no bombs were produced and no nuclear materials were processed." To make such a claim, detailed and secret information garnered only from North Korean subterranean sites would be required. NO ONE has such information other than the North Koreans. That they have EXTENSIVE underground facilities is known, and that's no advantage. NO ONE knows for sure what they did at any point in time. Dems need to be a lot more careful before they boast the joys of the Clinton Administration. Self Defense, Today's Hot Button Issue There has never been anytime in the history of America in which self defense could have been a hotter topic save for colonial times, circa 1776, for example. Then as now, anyone and everyone should be getting a gun and learning how to use it. The Israelis certainly need no such prodding or pushing. A number of them are grateful for the personal defense weapons America produces along with those nice high capacity magazines that are illegal here. America is truly a strange land in many ways. The same "world policemen" want Hezbollah style control over the citizenry, especially in a wacko state like California. Despite that and the federal bullshit that is poured all over that state, it's still a good time to go buy a gun and start learning how to use it. It's not necessary to join NRA or any other organization, but new friends and support may be found at numerous local shooting ranges. It would be well for the uninitiated to check into such things. A lot of people are doing this already and loving it. In many cases going to the shooting range has become a wonderful family activity too. The government has amply demonstrated a complete disregard for the public in most emergency situations already. No one needs to be reminded of those failures too much. Don't simply wait for "the big one" and for "the police" to come to save you. Self defense, however individually managed, will be the responsibility of the individual and no one else's. Also, be aware of the 10,000 laws federal, state and local that control ownership of any firearm. Maybe it's time to start rethinking some of that stuff too? Let's all hope we don't really require a massive "Hezbollah" attack here to get the point that no one, not even any of us, is beyond the need for effective self defense. Yet, that's usually the way Americans have to learn things. Finally, we do. It just takes a dozen or so such attacks. The concept of self defense itself is the most important principle to acknowledge and accept, especially in a hell hole like America. South Carolina celebrating ten years of CCW. Shanksville Redemption: For all the pride and glory accorded to the active resisters aboard Flight 93, those who acted in self defense, it all ends up as a public white-washing, No matter what the case, the term "self defense" is always carefully avoided because "law enforcement" doesn't like it. The wording around Flight 93 is usually, "they made a choice other than to sit in their seats." Nice work. "Self defense" is so abnormal these days. Everything must be called by some other name. More on CCW. And You Thought That a Democratic Party Infusion in 2006 Was the Answer? Let all the skeptics of U.S. actions in Iraq stand down, especially those proposing "time tables" for the withdraw of American forces. There is no "time table" for Hezbollah or all the rest of the wacko crowd that wants only confusion, death and destruction. Those wanting a "Democratic take over" in the U.S. House better start guessing again about how the world will look. The chances are good that America will be at war with Iran very soon or certainly supplying Israel with everything to do it with. Cut and Run? To where? Israel is the only alliance the U.S. has in the Middle East. Like the old Elvis song went, "It's Now Or Never." Like That "Loose as a Goose" Stuff? Then see Arianna Huffington for all you goosey needs. If you ever thought IJ was bad, you'll be glad you came here first. When people are really upset and need to know what will happen, they come to IJ. So, prepare for war accordingly folks. There are no "time tables" for the extinction of armed conflict. What is happening today will be happening fifty years hence. Get real used to it. November 8 Time to Deliver the Goods Unfortunately, Democrats didn't plan on a package of deliverable goods for today. Because of Republican weakness, the Dems won big all across the U.S., more surprisingly in the gubernatorial elections. It was a complete sweep. So, now what? That's the big question, and please don't say things like hiking the minimum wage. Just about anyone would want that. Be sure not to say increased taxes and for heavens sake watch it on amnesty, relaxation of the boarders or anything else along those lines. So, what's left? Total pull out from Iraq? Yea! It's done and every Muslim in the world is on TV going Allah Akbar! Death to America! Then what? This is a good time to start thinking about just what. So, guess what? The war in Iraq is NOT over nor will it be just because a new Congress says it's over. It aint over till it's over. The threats to America are still very real and live on. The economy is very good right now, a fact that had no affect on the election. It should hold for a while, but the real bread and butter issues were bypassed in favor of "sending a message" to President Bush. Message delivered. Rumsfeld's sudden departure doesn't mean much. Any "stand in" works just as well. That's the whole point of any cabinet. It's just musical chairs regardless. Here's a "to do list" for the freshmen senators and reps, at least a thoughtful person's list:
So, have fun and a wonderful holiday period. Just remember that you too may fail and everyone is waiting for you to live up to the easy victories you have enjoyed. Big Conservative Victory for San Jose, CA Dem/Communist Cindy Chavez was trounced by Chuck Reed in the mayoral race. San Jose took another bigger step away from socialism on Tuesday 7 November. The amount of repudiation of labor and Communist style government could easily be overlooked since this was a mayoral race, but it was very significant in the fact that voters here have finally awakened. The margin of victory says all, 60% vs 40% in favor of Councilman Reed. What a blast! Also, there was some other good news on the eve of the election that the new baseball stadium WILL NOT ever be in San Jose. It will be located in Fremont. Talk about dodging a traffic bullet and also this was welcomed repudiation of the still incumbent Mayor, Ron Gonzales. He had been determined to inflict yet another drain on the city. Voters here are finally onto that bold faced liar and his pals. Overall, this is a new breath of fresh air for the city of San Jose as some real management may be expected for a change. Even more encouraging is the fact that Boxer's "endorsement" meant nothing here nor did "Billy Boy's" (Clinton). Could true party parity be far behind? The Damning Sadness On November 8 Feinstein didn't even open a campaign office this year or run a single TV spot. It wasn't necessary. That's the sad commentary coming from the most populous state, CA, that no one anywhere was able even to mount enough of a challenge so that the usual campaigning would begin. That does not indicate acceptance, just the fact how loudly money talks among other things. A challenger would have needed at least $25 million to vie for a senator's office. Dianne took a nice trip to Bermuda and had all of October to enjoy. It was nice, but not for anyone in CA. Considering the years of nothingness for the state, it surely fits. Beyond the occasional, "Where are the qualified candidates?" no one stirs too much. That's the most costly form of government because it leads to other forms of complete ignorance of the facts. Facts don't seem to mean much to a senatorial candidate. Par for the course. More waste too. Longer term good news is that Arnold will likely displace Boxer in 2010. At least that much. She too never has had to worry about a challenger and the only place she's ever welcomed to speak is at Cal Berkeley. That's the best she can do. Separatism, Contempt and Hatred for America in America Perhaps the biggest question is: Why even be in America in the first place if customs along with attitudes run so deep? Throughout the history of America, numerous races have arrived on these shores and soon learned to change and adapt. Not so lately. Middle Eastern cultures are coming to American and seem to be defiant about changing anything. This has led to trouble. Just as personal deportment in any given school setting has a way of showing up in the grade column, so too does traditional deportment as it shows up as "points lost" in other ways. America got one of its most recent bad cultural tastes with the so-called "hippie" movement of the 60s and 70s. It didn't go over very well, but it did serve to set a tone that lasted for years. That's the rejection of most things different from the norm. The U.S. culture like some others is very well in tune with itself when it comes to rejection of others. It's a touchy mechanism to fool with too and the "hippie days" demonstrated this fairly well. 
It's not just appearances this time around though. It's not just marijuana and incense burning or tie-dyed artwork on one's clothes. It's far more this time in the amount of palpable contempt these cultures have for anything American. The most the hippies did was to hate cops. Some of them like The Weathermen decided to burn a few buildings and slipped into permanent hiding. Mostly, there was an extreme reaction to these developments as with the drug laws of 1970 that forever put marijuana into schedule one; i.e., "no medical value." The world continued. So much more is at stake now. If the various groups of people can't be trusted because extremists worldwide are saying horrendous things like "death to America" it's not so hard to understand the backlash that's building. The veil is a symbol of contempt for all things American, like it or not, just like the turban. This is not a new idea. Sikhs from India have been getting pummeled for years for "looking funny." It should be remembered that rejection, as such, is a human foible, but it's also a deadly foible. Nothing excuses violence. Over and over, it proves its lack of value. People doing violence go where they need to go pretty quickly, but especially in America. That includes everyone who likes trouble. Getting back to the main point, if a person walks down the sidewalk "in defiance" of something, it's like asking for it. There are some very limited people here and it seems to be getting worse when it comes to assisting someone who has "asked for it." No one intended America to become another Lebanon or worse even, another Iraq, but the history of racial violence in America is also very clear. So far, a few women wearing veils have been attacked and fewer still killed. Just how long the low level of violence goes on is an unknown, but it is worth remarking, if history means anything at all, America like other lands is a land of seething potential and sudden social explosion. The 1950s and 1960s proved this very well. Some people imagine that "the racial problem of America" was cured when Martin Luther King walked. It was merely set aside and due to the small numbers of blacks, forgotten. The heat is still there just like the heat still contained in the core of the planet. Obviously, if a person is black, they're easier to detect. The same is true for anyone wearing a veil, turban or a foreign looking cap or hat. The more this person seems to embody the "death to America" line of reasoning, the more likely they will be attacked. It's very simple. Clothes make the man, actually that's a title of a French author's short story. Appearances notwithstanding, if the same people bring with them strange customs like the totally ignorant practice of female circumcision, what else should be expected? None of that contempt for life agenda is needed here from anyone. It can't be tolerated legally or otherwise. America had no need for more extremists than it already had and it has no need for hateful ones who have no plans to fit in or accept the laws or customs of this land. On Handing Over America for Free to Anyone Who Wants It It's not that Islam in all its violence has come upon the world. It's not just that every splinter group imaginable has become established here in every nook and cranny. It's not even this election that says so loud and clear how weak America is. The collapse is so firmly established that none of the above will matter much. There's so much to celebrate in the Middle East now. It's okay to kill anyone who's not Muslim since they are only cows. "Just kill them. It's alright." That's the advice of "clerics" these days. So fine, just sit there and wait to die. Accept it. The Western world seems to require "a reason" for things, like "cause and effect" relationships. Hitting someone should result in getting hit back one could reason, especially when dealing with violent idiots. Forget religion. That's not the point. No one here has the picture yet, not even at this late date. There is no "reason" or "cause and effect" involved in the violence that Islamist extremists what to push off on the rest of the world and are so doing. For American tastes, it's far better to merely sit back and relax. That's pretty much the message of this election. Bush is "no good" and gee, how better could it be for the extremists? They stand to "win big" in a free American election just like they "won big" the day they came and trained legally in jet simulators to get ready for 9/11. Everyone played right into the hands of extremists. Our great "friends" at the oil companies prolonged our dependence on oil for the last thirty years. There were alternatives that never came about. The oil companies made sure of it, not just in oil, but also in the political maneuvering that ensured dependence forever. If that dependence had slipped just forty percent as of thirty years ago, the violent idiots would be pretty well bottled up in the "Middle East" and could sit quietly reading the Koran, minding their own business. Instead, they were greatly empowered by our greed and some of their own. The West caused exactly what has happened. Now what? The next possible surprise comes when OPEC follows other splinter trade organizations signaling Euro dollar trade for oil instead of U.S. dollar trade for oil. That merely serves to smash the economy of the world, probably in the name of "religion." That would ensure what the violent ones truly want, total all out world war. They may get their wish sooner than sleeping tranquil Americans had thought. What better way to trigger total turmoil, if only they could? Our great "friends" in Europe won't say a word either. There could be "WWII" everywhere. Today's kids would only be marking time until signup day. It's coming. The Dems will soon demand the draft again. Deep down, they really do understand the need for a quarter million man army. They don't care to come out and say that though. Virtually everything American will be tied up fully in world war within the next ten years. That is, if the violent ones have their way. So far, so good for them. America is a land of intense conflict. WWII, like so many other wars, was very unpopular. It took time and lots of it to get up to a real "war footing," that is, every man woman and child involved. This will happen again though, just as history manages to repeat itself incessantly. The killing won't stop until major segments of the world are gone. This year is one of the last years to measure actual shyness and withdrawal. After this year, the world will bleed much more. It simply must. A funny thing happens when a person finally knows he's about to die violently at the hands of some grinning bastard. He fights! It's probably futile at that point, but it carries on to the rest. The violent ones asked for this, and it will be rendered, down to the last paper clip, drop of oil or round of ammo. Cows have hooves and many will come trampling everyone and everything. Those hooves will hurt. More Sex Related Tragedy As though school invasions and murders formulated along sexual lines weren't enough already, again the nation must wake up to more of the same. This time it's a big dose of female mutilation, but not only that. This time it was done to a two year old. This is the land of freedom and opportunity
for all, but it doesn't include freedom to practice medicine without a
license on one's own child. So much for the "melting pot" of
America. This has to stop. This kind of person is not needed
here. 'Bilateral Talks' Hit the Road Pal Kim Jung il may take his leave now to Switzerland, the lovely hiding place for NAZI gold even to this day. As for Idi Amin Dada, late of Uganda (who liked talking to the heads of dead people), Kim could be on his way. Hopefully the Chinese will soon insist on it. It's either that or start sinking any ships that leave or enter North Korean ports. Condie was sweet, soft and quick to say that no "embargo" was imposed, but well, the Chinese have had to redact already their statements that they would not "inspect" anything leaving or entering North Korea. Ha! Their assets are on the line now, big time. The U.S. should apply more trading pressure to ensure that "the right thing is done." It's probably forthcoming, just slower than desired, as usual. Time to go now Kim before it's too late. And what will a fart in the U.N. do for you? It will ensure that you won't be seated on the Security Council Mr. Chavez sir. Take some notice Iran. You've got less time than you thought. Population of U.S. Hits 300 Million - No Warnings Issued Perspective is all powerful. On Sunday 15 October 2006 Bob Schieffer of CBS issued his commentary at the close of his broadcast. That Schieffer is an upper class elitist is unmistakable, his millions and millions notwithstanding. He stated in so many words that the predicted crisis of food shortages didn't materialize as some had suggested back in 1968 when the population crested at 200 million. That anyone could poo-poo the seriousness of runaway population growth is a crime, but especially from the top of the broadcast monolith and a feelingless peer of Dan Rather. Schieffer was correct to say that food wasn't a big problem anywhere in America, but he skipped right over all the other issues not even bothering to mention the alien influx and the damage it has done to this land. When one is so well heeled as Schieffer is, that should be expected. Everyone else has to pay and pay for the liberal mistakes of the past like the totally wide open boarders and free care for all. Ross Perot summed it all up one day when he said that there was no free lunch. It stuck and it also stunk. The truth always hurts. The projections now include a total runaway of growth in America with every hillside and every field covered up with concrete. How could anyone say this is good? Carly Fiorina's Bold Faced Lie Carly told a whopper on 60 Minutes, Sunday 8 October 2006. She claimed that she had been released from her lofty board position for the wrong reasons. "As a woman" she didn't deserve any explanations she said. Thus she implied sexual discrimination was the real reason for how she was handled and even why she was let go so suddenly. She forgot to mention how totally arrogant she was then and still is today and she also managed to forget how she did virtually no work, just put on very elaborate high cost shows that meant little to the well being of HP. Before Carly left HP, she was specifically asked by an in-house interviewer whether she believed that a "glass ceiling" existed which prevented women from succeeding into management positions at HP. She answered with a resounding NO. Her impression was that if a person were truly good, there was no end to what they could achieve at HP or elsewhere. She claimed then that she succeeded because of her abilities alone. It's a real shame that American companies are often piloted by arrogant thoughtless self centered ones. Countless HP employees have have hit the dust because of Carly. She once again derided the so called "HP way" that she unmercifully brought to a close on her watch. She saw to it that "the gray hairs" got what was coming to them. HP built a beautiful $9 million home for her at company expense to name only one spoil she got. The Curse of Low Timer Pilots, Changing Types, Changing Routines Cory Lidle's sudden and tragic end along with his instructor's in New York may be due to a very fundamental set of circumstances. Though it will no doubt be a very long time before NTSB comes back with the standard "pilot error" reason, that reason will hold up very well in the end. It always seems to. Cory released a very nice home video of himself piloting along the Northeast countryside some time prior to the mishap. That he loved flying was unmistakable. However, many a person has fallen victim to small things that brought them down while flying. Quite some years ago the U.S. Air Force started noticing that they were losing very seasoned pilots who had shifted from one high performance jet to another, a move that used to be very routine. Strangely, the pilots lost could have easily bailed out, but for some reason did not. The military forensics teams noticed that these men had funny scratches on their legs that made no sense to anyone. It certainly had nothing to do with sexual encounters, that much was certain. So, what was it that caused perfectly good men to die? After quite some time it was found that pilots had spent one thousand or more hours "in type" but more specifically in jets which had ejection levers located at the bases of the pilot's seats. When these men moved to the F4 Phantoms they brought their automatic recall along with them as for reaching down to activate the ejection systems. The F4s have two ejection rings at the tops of the seats that must be pulled together in order to egress. So Cory's video indicated that he had a lot of time in a high wing Cessna, a Skyhawk apparently. It's a very nice plane and it will last forever like a lot of well cared for small planes. However, Cory bought himself another plane, a Cirrus, that was a "low wing" aircraft. Now, to be sure, all planes are similar, but they are also very different in equipment layout, safety devices and most importantly the actual "speeds to fly." A period of adjustment is always required whenever a pilot changes type; that is, moves to a new plane. It's a bit of a guess, but Cory was probably in the process of making his first major transition. He had an instructor aboard. That was good and as it should have been. The Cirrus plane may not be too much different on "speeds to fly" or "stalling speed" but even a little difference could be plenty and the instructor may not necessarily have been experienced "in type." There are a lot of planes and a lot to remember. Also, the instructor was not the "pilot in command" that day. The slower a plane flies the more likely it could "stall." In other words, crash. From the accounts of a number of witnesses on the ground, the plane was in a very steep turn when it came down, also called a spin. IJ will not try to second guess NTSB, but it appears that no one will ever know exactly what happened to Cory and his instructor. It was probably "something dumb" like the airspeed bled off enough to start an incipient stall, probably just one wing a little low, nothing extreme and nothing that caused the "stall horn" to sound. At higher altitudes, stall recovery is fairly straight forward and is done quickly and easily for the most part. However, when a plane is close to the ground there's only a split second for the pilot to recognize the beginning of the spin, correct it and get up and out of there. Could it be that the Cirrus plane imparted a feeling of too much comfort prior to the spin? Many planes buffet at least somewhat prior to spin entry, but it's not necessarily very big or prolonged. Buffeting can be mistaken for "rough air." Were the two men talking and therefore distracted? After years of study, the Air Force instituted a policy that limited the number of times a pilot could ever be moved over to a new plane for active patrol duty. The obvious exceptions were then and still are for the test pilots. Test pilots put their lives on the line every time they wind up the engines, but this is true for all pilots regardless of the number of flight hours they possess or what they fly. Training in and of itself is dangerous. History of North Korea - The Continuing Price There's no quick way to merely sum up all the years of the depravity of war on the Korean Peninsula or its affect on the Pacific region. While looking for research material, IJ came across this handy link that should be most helpful to anyone needing any information about all things Korean. Some argue that the U.S. and other nations have options they do not possess such as "bargaining" incessantly. To "bargain" means to get something in return. So far, America is owed plenty for all the "bargains" of the past. Especially to be considered are all the American lives lost in Korea, the original Viet Nam. Iran like North Korea is another great opportunity for American failure. With the rising tone of nationwide pacifism it shouldn't be too long until the U.S. forfeits more than just a few gun boats. This time the price could be much higher than for Korea and could endure forever. Much of the research material mentioned in the link reads as well as the real time events do today. Today's events in the region are merely extensions of a long existing conflict that never goes away. Once again in history, decisive action is required to deal with North Korea, but it won't be coming according to President Bush. It's astonishing to think that a U.S. President would limit himself so severely when he has so much firepower at his disposal. Shades of Truman. North Korea Completes 1st Nuclear Test - Approximately 4 Kilotons, Yield Less Than .5 The world changed for good 9 October, approximately 0300 hours UTC. North Korea alerted China prior to the test and China warned its allies including the U.S. The size of this underground detonation was not extremely large as far as such tests go. The Hiroshima bomb of WWII was about fifteen kilotons of blast force. With the completion of the test, now officially confirmed, a number of things could happen. At the time of this article, a potential exists for multinational sanctions and/or immediate military action. IJ has previously published that unilateral U.S. military action was immanent since recent build ups across the Pacific seemed to suggest a very high level of readiness. Yet, many times lines in the sands have been drawn and no military action came about. President Bush had refused to meet directly with Kim Jong-il because he had no reason to expect anything good from such a meeting. Considering the history of the Clinton Administration and the events concerning North Korea then, it's no wonder. Most immediately threatened is South Korea. A bomb of the size tested today would be very destructive to that nation. The U.S. has had significant military forces in South Korea since the end of the Korean War in 1953 to defend that republic. No only is the Pacific at threat, but lands like Iran will be greatly encouraged to behave like North Korea and therefore further threaten the free world. Some allied options include immediately arming U.S. allies like Japan with both nuclear weapons and also the delivery systems required. In terms of defusing the Foley matter for the Republicans, this test was right on schedule to save the Republican election campaign issue that stressed national security. Bush will be able to run with this development as he had been planning originally. One thing is sure. That is, a war is coming one way or the other and the U.S. does not have a lot more time to wait to see what will happen. It's not very likely that the U.N. Security Council will be able to do anything of substance in time to control North Korea. The time of danger is also much greater now for the U.S. because other radical countries will be encouraged to attack U.S. interests worldwide all the more. Once again, this plays into the hands of President Bush and the Republican Party who wanted to get nation security matters fully on the font burner. Uncle Fudd Gets Pat On the Back The BIG local paper fancies itself a "muck raker" for no particular reason and in so doing collaborated with The Berkeley School of Journalism. That school has been manipulated to believe that The San Jose Mercury News is "an example of civic journalism at its finest" when in fact that paper can claim little if any role in promoting openness in government. Berkeley lost a great deal of its credibility to extend its not so coveted Beacon Award to the paper. Could it be that so few journalism jobs or internships are to be found any more that Berkeley had to plow under? To date, Uncle Fudd has refrained from characterizing any individual in government as a bad actor for any reason. Very recently the SJMN or Uncle Fudd engaged in defending the lame duck Mayor of San Jose, Ron Gonzales, for reasons still unknown. The mayor is currently under indictment for crimes committed in letting a garbage contract which gave a very competitive advantage to Norcal. The paper claims to deal in the facts, but facts are after all propaganda in the right hands. In the current election, Uncle Fudd is solidly behind Cindy Chavez who endorses and is endorsed by quasi Communist labor organizations and the like. The SJMN is always "on the side of law enforcement" good, bad or indifferent. That paper never has criticized anyone in "law enforcement" and usually is solidly behind most high cost heavy handed city projects. The paper had years and years to prove itself, but always came up short and still does. They want to be plugged into the money and power pyramid no matter what and their "journalist activities" have born this out very well throughout all the years. At this late date, they still refuse to do a proper job of examining corrupt individuals in the District Attorney's office of San Jose. The IJ is the only paper that dares even touch the subject, but that's good. It's a tough job but a small not for profit paper is up to it. Any of the awardees of the "Beacon Award" were for profit purposes. That's an interesting observation. Berkeley should take all the fake newsprint and turn it over to some fish-n-chips operation where it would be put to better use. Footnote: Just in. Uncle Fudd (fear, uncertainty, doubt and deceit) has received a "secret permit" from the City Council of San Jose to vent untreated sewage directly into Guadalupe Creek thus avoiding a potential $1 million dollar a day dumping fine. It's not what you know in San Jose, it's who you know and it's always so comfy under the covers with all the higher uppers and lower downers. (Just wait till you hear about the secret "Pyramid Project" that will boast the largest pyramid ever constructed on Earth right in the center of San Jose. Uncle Fudd and company know all. *) Oh, also don't worry any more. "The police" have no intentions of kicking your door in at 3:00 am and killing you and everyone in your home. Rest easy now because Uncle Fudd is hard at work protecting you from outrageous slings and arrows no matter the source and they've gotten a self awarded "Beacon Award" that proves it! And, where Uncle Fudd leaves off all the local self aggrandizing and self appointed "Communists" begin. Lenin, move over baby. Boxer is coming! Uncle Fudd says so. * A plan is afoot for Berkeley to sack all the assets of the Lick Observatory to make funding available for the secret "Pyramid Project." The remains of James Lick will be disinterred and paraded through the streets of San Jose on November 1 in celebration of Día de Los Muertos a usual and customary local event. Of course, this information has been carefully suppressed and appears only in the IJ. The secret plans call for a pyramid as huge underground as above it with self contained power and secret entrances. Only a special few will ever be permitted inside the pyramid, including Uncle Fudd who made it possible. An unnamed CA regent said that he was happy that James Lick's dream of a gigantic pyramid would finally be realized. "I can't tell you how happy I am for the whole Lick family," he said. The current observatory site in his words will "be returned to a natural and vegetative state so that it may be sold to private party very soon." He also said that, "We think this is in the best interests of all parties concerned," and that, "The big pyramid will bring untold wealth and recognition to San Jose, more than the observatory ever could have." Mayor of San Jose, Ron Gonzales, could not be reached for comment but one of his aides said that he was quite pleased with the secret project and had been in negotiations over ten years ago to bring the project online. That included numerous trips to Las Vegas to evaluate the pyramid there. Bad Week in America - 2 October 2006 Does America truly go out of its way to build misfits, murderers, molesters and disenchanted ones? Judging from the past week, the answer is resoundingly and sadly hell yes. Capping off the week was the incident at an Amish school in Pennsylvania, 2 October 2006. On the surface it appeared to be a "copy cat" of the Colorado school break in and shooting Wednesday, 27 September 2006, but for a few details. In Colorado only one girl was shot and killed for no reason, but in Pennsylvania the toll was much worse at four, so far. As if those two events were not enough already, the killing of a high school principal in Wisconsin on 30 September 2006 accentuated the disparate conditions across a good piece of the land. What is going on? If Charles Roberts could be taken at his word, it could be inferred that some people have an underlying rage that may finally boil over. There may be no special reason for the blow out except for something known only to the perpetrator. Roberts killed defenseless Amish kids in an attempt to "get even." According to neighbors and official reports, the only thing strange about Roberts was the fact that he was somewhat aloof, but not completely so. That description could fit anyone. He had no record for anything. That too could fit anyone. Then there was the U.S. Representative Foley's sudden resignation and disclosure that he'd been involved in protracted attempted sexual contacts with pages, 29 September 2006, just as Congress was about to adjourn for the season. It was major dose of disillusionment to say the least. With a backdrop like this week, it's pretty difficult to say anything positive about what kind of people we are when so many went so far off the deep end in so brief a time. The week in question was barely a full seven days too. Each of these incidents should garner careful study, but then, what else will happen before this week is out? That's a fair question, but it would be difficult to imagine how worse a week could be considering the loss of life and loss of national honor. IJ has long suggested that wall-to-wall "law enforcement solutions" to everything in combination with sexual repression could only generate more and more offenders. Sadly, this long standing observation once again is proving true. However, things are much more crowed every day now. That's a huge factor on its own. America is not a land of help-for-help's sake. The hours are long and the pay is low at most of our jobs. Everything is very competitive, perhaps extraordinarily so in a land of 300 million? Everywhere our people must confront monetary challenges. It's easy to see that if a hamburger and a drink cost $5 that everything else must be sky high as well. The highways are crowded. The housing is high priced and not very easy to find at times. Travel is time consuming, costly and rigorous, especially at today's airports. Try even catching a cab or a bus here. Contention exists in just about everything. Personal pleasure? Sure, but when where and with what? Sex? Not really. Sex presents special problems and physical limitations. The fatigue factor of modern life frequently limits such pleasure. Ads pound everyone night and day for high cost medicines that will make all well but probably don't. Frustration is certainly a key word for most Americans, sex or no sex. Finally, someone gets a high stress overload and goes ballistic. There's no rhyme or reason, as usual. This is America too. Another Ode to John Walsh of AMW Fame and Fortune Politics makes for strange bedfellows, it has been said. The combo of Walsh and Foley who both worked so hard to get The Child Safety Act of 2006 signed into law stands out as a perfect work of art. No one could have ever imagined that it would take a major abuser like Foley to lead the way to a new draconian “tracking law.” Not even Walsh himself was prepared for the let down of Foley’s revelation of page mongering and said so on Larry King's Live. Innocence is so sweet especially if one can invoke it so easily as Walsh does. Come to think of it, so too did Foley for years and years. His image was one of “doing the right thing for our kids.” Walsh too is a perfect specimen of all things good and pure when it comes to the progressive “law enforcement” push that pervades this land. Such people truly are wonderful for “illuminating our horizons” and “setting our good goals” for us. Everyone should be able to gage from such performances just how damning an attack from a Catholic Priest must be, whether on not as Foley claims it happened to him too. IJ has spent significant amounts of time with this subject matter and most of that is still down this page. Most kids are taught “be wary of strangers” from word one. It’s a basic life saving skill that must be learned quickly if the child is to survive here. That mindset does its own harm later in life, but being wary of smiling ones who seem to think they have the answers to everything should still be in play. Walsh is a very misguided person. Because of the loss of his son Adam, he figured to go out and to reshape the rest of the world in a vain attempt to have a type of vindication. It worked, unfortunately. It gave to “law enforcement” and few chosen others new expensive tools that won’t stop one bit of crime. It changed forever how the fed will do things, as if there were not already enough “federally mandated behaviors,” and to think that “the fed” is a behavior expert? No one will spend much time reflecting on this now. The years will pass and more and more awful and unstoppable acts of sexual murder will occur, tracking or no tracking. The cost will be high and “law enforcement” won’t have any more answers than before. New “Walshes” will come along with penchants and promises that revenge will be exacted from all, but no one will be served. “Law enforcement” will get more money and the violent crime rate will steadily climb. Thank you John for working with the
best loser around and for “making it work” just the way you wanted, and to
hell with everyone and everything else that’s also plugged into your false
misshapen odyssey of loss and revenge. Everyone will sleep much better now
believing and trusting that the most harmful among us will pass us up for
someone else, hopefully. If not that then “the fed” will swoosh in and
save the night according to your pronouncements and good deeds.
The Experiment With Socialism Fails Badly in San Jose, CA By its own admission, finally, the BIG local paper has had to publish the facts that the City of San Jose is collapsing under its own weight. The experiment in the building of "Germania," an Adolph Hitler dream, hasn't worked out very well. It's the costs stupid, those never ending costs that no amount of taxes possibly ever could cover. Hitler's dream was for a dramatically rebuilt Berlin after WWII, a dream never realized. To be included were very dramatic buildings and "works of art." In fact, Hitler had plans for Berlin to be a living work of art. So too did the idiots in charge of San Jose, but even worse has been Uncle Fudd, the BIG local paper without which no "dreams of grandeur" could have been launched nearly so well. It's wake up time now and it really really hurts. It's not just the costs and the mistakes of the past. The damning realization is that years upon years of heavy expenditures in San Jose did not bear fruit, and worse yet, the piper still must be paid. Give a little credit to the BIG local paper. They're pretty good a setting up a situation and then "reporting on it." Thank you fellows, really. After all the years of shoving from you, we can all be so grateful. And as for that sales tax that failed, didn't you mean to decry that awful statement the public made on 6/6/06? That was that the pubic balked at more of "Germania?" Even with the newest sales tax hike that never was, the inevitable would have been forestalled only briefly. If all that money spent on "art for art's sake" could have been spent on schools, what a different world it could have been here? San Jose could have been the education capitol of the West, but hell no. That's too complicated for anyone in the city to understand, especially because Uncle Fudd said so, and he worked so very very hard to be both the divider and conqueror of all. "Ultimately, the choices before the council are 'agonizing,' " said Reed, ``because we have really great people doing really great things, but if we spend money on them, it's money we don't have to spend on lots of other things.'' Chuck Reed, San Jose City Councilman. (Quote from the BIG local paper. Hitler sleeps now.) Reed, is another totally brilliant "star" of San Jose, CA. IJ thanks you and all the rest like you. Hey, maybe this shortfall situation could be converted into a "law enforcement solution" at this time? Chuck, does your knee ever jerk? Here's the IJ solution: Let go of a few cops. Since each one costs the city over $200k in pay and benefits each year, there'll be plenty of money left for "art for art's sake," if that's what the idiots in power truly want. Try that one on for size councilors.
Muslim Good News "Why I'm Not A Muslim," a sermon delivered in San Jose, CA. This is a good time also to begin monitoring all activities around all mosques, especially in "law enforcement headquarters" San Jose, CA the home of the biggest toughest meanest cops on this Earth. This is their biggest opportunity ever in history "to protect and to serve." Let's just seem them head off a terrorist attack here. In fact, San Jose is wide open for just such an attack because of "touchiness" as it relates to "the practice of religion." And too, there is the heavy duty "limp-wristed Democratic Party" here which exhibits "touchiness" for all manner of things while the rest of us are blown to kingdom come. A man could wake up dead in the morning, but that will be sweet, nice, "non discriminatory" (plus any/all other pleasant thoughts and considerations) or other ideas and concepts that may pertain to that situation in life. So will say the quasi-establishment of the have-nots that are so well cared for in government here. Translation: If you're a real jerk, we love you. If you're other than that, YOU are the problem not the poor little "sleepers" who are massing for a huge nationwide attack! There's plenty of fuel for a huge fire here. Never forget that. So, how about some funny Muslim cartoons today? To Our Readers in the Middle East Today
Crediting Holy Muslims Where Credit is Due Let's examine the truth about what has been done in the name of Islam, a list of events:Armenian Genocide - Muslims
Avoiding Future 'Israeli Problems' in the Middle East Israel must not "comply" with any UN resolutions (like 1559) including the current demand for a cease fire. It's "every man for himself." Hezbollah has demonstrated it already thinks that way exactly. Send the UN to Geneva where it belongs. On another note, it would be well to immediately send the B52 force to pound the boarder of Israel and Lebanon. The Israelis have no big bombers and the loss of ground forces will be fairly high to them. Don't worry, America could never do such a thing though there never has been a more critical time in history to do it.
HOLOCAUST? YES On Good Friday of all days Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad announced that Israel will be wiped off the map and also stated once again that the Holocaust never happened. That's just after Iran produced its first batch of UF4 or enriched Uranium, U235, a WWII style A-bomb explosive. Though the actual yield was small, it was a telling first step towards Friday's announcement and the deaths that will accrue from the increased level of hostilities. Our great friends the Russians have put us behind the eight ball again as though they never got enough of the cold war. This type of treachery needs to be met head on with punishment handed out to Russia from the U.S. Regardless, these new signals from the Middle East ensure years and years more war. It won't be possible to wait a long time to take action. It won't be just a "Bush problem" very soon either. This time as before, no one has truly accurate information on WMD including exactly how long to launch time. "Accuracy" is perhaps a side issue now. Overlooked in this latest blast is the fact that Israel already has atomic weapons and won't hesitate long to use them. Considering how Israel has operated in the past, expect a "first strike" any time, probably sooner than later. Of course, Iran is far away and Israel has only short range missiles, but that may not matter much. The Israelites won't wait forever for the U.S. or other countries to act. The 1981 attack on Iraq's nuclear reactor more than proved that point. The lessons of the very Holocaust that Ahmadinejad again poo-pooed had already cemented forever what the price of inaction was.
On Solving the Deadlock in the Pacific A major breakthrough could be achieved with both North Korea and China simultaneously if the U.S. were to heavily arm Japan and Taiwan with nuclear weapons, say thirty each for starts. China would suddenly realize it HAD to get North Korea to back down while also realizing that we meant business about their leaving Taiwan alone. Will Bush have courage enough ever to do such a thing? No. The "new Bush" is a broken down other-than-Republican who talks big but whimpers like a lost puppy. We'll get pushed around some more while our troops die everywhere. This is exactly the time in history to be blowing up someone "over there" instead of sitting around waiting for the next terrorist attack over here. Today's Need for Nuclear Weapons Well, thank heavens for small miracles. Right when we need sophisticated "nukes," we've got all kinds of them to use. Although the "bunker buster" was supposed to be killed in committee some time ago, it managed to live on with other funding. It should be ready for Iran soon. Even without it, America still has plenty of weapons to use and Iran will be a wonderful test bed for them. No one could have hoped for more throughout the entire defense establishment. Especially nice are the neutron weapons that fry anyone who's exposed on sight . Very sterilizing! And Iran thought they could threaten someone? No one around here fells very threatened at this point because Iran isn't a credible threat for much of anything. Click here to launch!
Get to know more about America's nuclear mission, courtesy Kirtland AFB, Albuquerque, NM Boxer IJ does not waste valuable space or editorial time on Barbara Boxer. That is the domain of Arianna Huffington. Let her waste all that space and effort. Maybe someday it will all click for CA residents that Boxer was/is a total waste of everyone's time? We'll see. And people thought that male office holders were such disasters? Ha! Oh dear, forgot dishonorable mention to Feinstein. Now she says we should have "bi lateral talks" with North Korea. Wow. The Democratic Party line is: Be part of the whole rest of the world. DON'T act alone. Do everything as an integrated part of the UN. That drone goes on year-in and year-out. Never mind that the U.S. has been part of ongoing six party talks with N. Korea, for years now. Suddenly the current gets reversed, and WE are to go by ourselves to talk to a total maniac and expect good results? That was the Madeline Albright "formula for success" that didn't prove itself. Ms. Halfbright should have stayed at home that time. Feinstein like Boxer has no solutions for anything, just useless frilly stuff to push off onto everyone in CA, the stupidest of all states in America. Except for the fact that so many have to suffer, it would be laughable, but it's not so funny when maniacs launch rockets at us right and left. Should we take more antidepressants today? Then the problem will just go away. Well, if you're a Boxer, a Feinstein or an active supporter of same. A can of sardines will help too. Mustard with? Purpose of The IJ? In one word, corruption and the plague it is on the American people. Consider the latest revelation by Bernard Kerik, the former Police Commissioner of New York City. Mr. antigun/anti-society freely admits to accepting $165,000 in home improvements from a construction firm tied to the mob. Top criminals want people disarmed. The two go together, but that's not all. Kerik, a man of limited abilities, got to shape and mold NYC law enforcement the way he wished for years; and, he got preferential treatment in being allowed to plead guilty on 30 June 2006 to only two misdemeanors, allowing him to continue with his overseas security work. Nice deal! His fine of $221,000 underscores the word felony. Of course, that's not a problem in the great empire state, just a mere quirk of the old pen pushed by an old wonderful mob judge. Former Mayor Rudolph Giuliani praised Kerik for "a job well done," past tense, relating to the time Kerik had worked for the mayor. Giuliani didn't need to do that for a dumb bell like Kerik, so why did he? Giuliani is supposed to be anti mob. This is everywhere, even in San Jose, CA. The latest bold faced self aggrandizing and defiant mayor refuses to resign in the face of numerous felony charges. The latest city council meeting was a disaster with some members even praising liar Ron Gonzales for "a job well done." It was obvious they were scared of him. No telling what he'd pull at this point, but this paper won't turn and run. Crooks must be confronted. They don't deserve preferential treatment and/or praise. That's what this little paper does best. It does the reverse of what everyone expects. It calls liars and crooks what they are. It's a tough job, but somebody has to do it. The Smashing of the Boy Scouts of America This turns out to be a vast subject area, that of BSA (Boy Scouts of America) and the continued smashing it has received for decades. Namely, BSA has had to endure the smashing by "gay groups" even including at times the ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union). The pretext for all the attacks has been that the national charter of BSA is not "gay positive." That's really a mess to consider because in America the newfound movement of "get the molesters out" seems to ring loud and clear from every eve. What's not so clear is the viciousness BSA has been attacked with. Why would anyone do anything that could dump more boys alone onto the streets? Considering what is wasted on "gang violence" these days, it would be a total conflict of principles to destroy a youth group and then spend millions of dollars, even federal funds, to combat today's bad boys. To a lesser extent, that very idea has forestalled some attempts to punish BSA since "black kids" and other minorities would also have to suffer. The Philadelphia area has been in much consternation over such considerations in the past years and still is. There has been pressure to get homosexuals to ascend to the ranks of councilors or else the headquarters building would be taken away from the scouts. Many attempts have been made to pressure the BSA to change their national charter which forbids homosexual members or adult scout leaders. BSA has maintained that a private organization can't be forced to change its charter, especially since that change would be unprecedented in any non profit organization. It's a very hot subject and doesn't appear to be cooling in the least Citizens Reclaim Some Control in San Jose, CA and County of Santa Clara After lengthy civil grand jury investigations that meandered for two years, Ron Gonzales, the Mayor of San Jose, CA has been indicted on numerous felony charges related to a garbage contract with Norcal. With a bold face, the mayor has stated he will not resign as a result of the indictments. That's not very surprising considering the atmosphere of Santa Clara County, akin to anything Chicago could muster, just on a smaller scale. IJ has been watching the mayor for some time and reporting about his misuse of his minority status, as a "Latino," and the distortions and manipulations that go along with operating like a mobster. None the least of his manipulations regard the misuse of the San Jose Police Department and his coalition with the Chief of Police, Rob Davis, a "shoot first, ask questions later" expert in "law enforcement." Typically it has been the Latino who has been underserved by this mayor, especially whenever a confrontation with authority has taken place. San Jose is the home of secrecy for the sake of secrecy in government, and calling the city government a police state is not an overstatement. This latest indictment seems to be part of an overall pattern to reclaim the county on behalf of the private citizen. It has been a slow tough road to be sure, but some progress is better than nothing. Other very significant things have happened here recently. Importantly, private citizens banded together to defeat Proposition A, a half cent sales tax increase. That was very significant since the County of Santa Clara "manages" everyone via PR firms in lieu of proper representation. The county's PR firm had informed the county level council members that without doubt, the populace would overwhelming vote in the sales tax increase. Prop. A failed abysmally on 6 June 2006. Ron Gonzales has been out of touch with the people for a very long time, in fact starting on the very day he was elected mayor. IJ has published numerous articles concerning this error, some of which are down this page. IJ's inaugural "eight ball" award went to Gonzales for reasons stated. It's hard to find a colder stone face anywhere in California than the current mayor's, but he seems to be the best overall choice. Worthy to note here: Nancy Pelosi, (D) San Francisco, will no doubt be very silent regarding yet another fellow Democrat who's finding himself in legal hot water. She's been very vocal with the "atmosphere of corruption" stuff nationally as it relates to Republicans. We'll Nancy doesn't have any time for cleanups in her own back yard, that much is for sure. It will be interesting to see how long she all the Democrats hold on dearly to Gonzales. If they have a brain in their collective heads, the time to pressure him to resign is now. The mayor will have to step down. It's only a matter of time. In the opinion of IJ, no one who's currently a mayoral candidate should be seated as the interim mayor. Cindy Chavez has the advantage of being the Vice Mayor and probably will assume duties as mayor as soon as possible. From just about any viewpoint, Councilwoman Chavez will have a de facto leg up in the November general elections. The powers of the city council are limited, so they may not "fire" the mayor. If the next mayor is going to walk like a minority, act like a minority and look like a minority that's fine and dandy. It would be hoped that the person won't forget their minority roots the second they are elected and start acting aristocratically as did the last mayor. This area depends on balance in all public offices. Vexatious, as in doing everything possible to vex others, especially when one is in "public service" or is a "public servant" including but not limited to public officials, the police, the courts and whatever else comes along. To vex may mean to tax. It also means screwing things along the way "you think they should be to suit you" while screwing everyone and everything else. To be vexatious means also to have a "hearing problem" and a reasoning problem to go along with it. The United States of America is very proud of its vexations, but especially those poured out on the general public in all ways possible. Santa Clara County, California - "the apex of all things law enforcement" The home of some of the absolute thickest skulls in America, high taxes and sudden death at the hands of truly brilliant cops. We also boast the hottest money grabbin'est attorneys in the West with annual "sales" of half a billion dollars, the crime pie overflow. Even the worst case "public defender" makes at least $60k per year. No experience necessary. Come one, come all to wonderful SC County. Just leave God, a sense of values, principles, etc. behind. Hand your life over totally to all the well meaning cops and sleep, sleep, sleep. Oh, almost overlooked was the greatest thing since drug busts and sliced bread, "sex busts," the biggest law enforcement bonanza of all times and the new facade behind which all abhorrent aberrations are concealed. And also, the meanest man-hating judges in the West who will quickly send a man to hell forever regardless of the charge, especially if he's a "nigger." The high charge of racism is alive and well here and very much under the control of all things "law enforcement." Bring your kids! It's far better than Waco, Texas here any day! Footnotes to the wary: The "Chili Couple" got more than their just deserts in San Jose with a horrendous amount of jail time for putting a severed finger in the food. Frankly, some murderers don't get twelve or nine years as this couple did. Usually, involuntary manslaughter commands seven years at the most. The couple were stupid, but in truth they harmed no one directly as with a poison. A prank of this type used to draw one year, but not much more. However, it's very important to demonstrate just how stupid these people were and how adamant the law is here. Without that, where would anyone in San Jose be? The IQ here is at an all time low whether it's the private citizen or anyone within the very comfortable circle of authority. Wasn't jail supposed to be reserved for serious offenders? This is the same state that is jumping up and down about the death penalty because it's too harsh, especially to do to an old man who murdered three times in his youth. He should have been set free to have a nice hot bowl of chili anytime he wished. That's the beauty of California logic. Like we're so far ahead of everyone and everything else we could just shit. Good Citizenship, What's That?Some truly funny stuff has come in lately. Some of it is pure angry anarchy, but the balance of it is just plain dumb and laughably dumber. In a democracy, all is acceptable however. It must be that way even if the IQ level falls below 80 around here. That too is on time and on schedule. Hopefully, it won't drop too much more. Considering where this paper is headquartered, right in the middle of dumb and dumber leftwing Santa Clara County, the home of the true non intellects and the land of the maniacal control freaks, it's not so bad a location. In fact, it's right on time and on the mark. It's the only critical piece in the whole Western United States. So, don't laugh too hard when you hear that "only in California stuff." It's a tough job and this paper actually does it pretty damn well. So, what's "good citizenship" today? Ideally, that should mean that no one watches very much television, but of course, that's the old standard. Voting is important, but who is really informed? A few citizens are, but a bare few at that. What's left over is our quote-in-quote "representative form of government" that nowadays relies heavily on PR firms and jingles, mostly at election time. The rest of the time, most citizens will have no access whatsoever to elected representatives, unless they manage to go to some of the "town meetings." Come to think of it, the time is rapidly approaching. So, mark August this year as your "good citizen month," if you dare to or even care to. These are funny times. If anyone has any kind of problem, suddenly it's because of Bush. That really makes a lot of sense, especially to the dumb and dumber crowd. Disregarding "Bush" for a moment, there are plenty of others to blame, but of course that takes time and effort. The lowered IQ's ensure that no connection to cause and effect occurs. (Years of bussing, social promotions in schools, no prenatal care, fetal alcohol, etc., diminish IQ.) To be sure, this article today will miss the vast majority of the county's residents, but that too must be acceptable in a true democracy. Man, we've got rhythm here. Of the U.S. Representative Districts in this immediate area, to name only one kind of district, there's plenty of opportunity for blame to be transfixed since the philosophy around here is "to manage and control" or placate. It's no better than that and to that end PR firms and whatnot are fully engaged in the tasks of "marketing" and/or "understanding the public's needs." So, if this paper comes across as a little critical at times, it's with good reason. That's what a paper does. This one is damn critical with the view that time is running out here, especially with respect to numerous opportunities lost forever. Marketing, via PR firms, is not good government. Good citizenship means questioning authority, harshly if necessary. If authority can't handle that, then that's ample proof of manipulation and placation. Bush, for all his faults, has stood up well in front of the fusillades of slings and arrows. That's good too. That's the least to be expected of any elected representative in a democracy. Democracy is wasteful, but that's no excuse or reason for what goes on in this county. It's nice to be "that bad little paper." America was founded on nonconformity, not the other way around. The manipulators here have already gotten that message, but it must be repeated continually since they have a tendency to be forgetful from time to time. It's all the more necessary to repeat since so few citizens can even read anymore. Socialism Set Back One Notch What? Could it be? A San Francisco Superior Court has reversed the handgun ban that had been approved by voters in that city? For anyone doubting what is now a developing trend in CA, let doubt build no longer. It's very good news to see people beginning to take back control of their local governments and beyond, via the courts! Of course, appeals will follow in the California State Supreme Court, but CA state law supersedes any laws throughout the state. Only state laws may regulate firearms as established in 1969. That was the basis for the reversal in the SF Superior Court. That ruling should be upheld without prejudice. SF City Council members like Chris Daly need to go. That's the better part of the message still begging to unfold. The chances are good that will happen too. People can't take the tyrant's heal forever. Stupid costly measures like Proposition H don't fly very well even in a liberal's paradise like San Francisco. Also derided is the concept that guns need to be taken away because of violence in black neighborhoods. The connection between lawful gun ownership and crime has been shown to be a very weak connection in the past. So too is it in San Francisco. Socialism always depends on numerous false agendas like "guns are the problem" when it's every single other thing. Socialism Set Back One More Notch In Santa Clara County, CA a one-half cent sales tax measure failed on 6/6/06. That's really good news because it means that not everyone has been totally asleep while the "law enforcement" wasting wolves have been hard at work. The failure of Prop. A means no sneaking around with big porky projects. It's even more astounding that every union and labor council pushed hard, to the tune of millions of advertising dollars, to get the measure passed. The No on A people only garnered a mere $6,000 or so. Wow! What a day in this county! Nothin's gona change my world...nothin's gonna change my world...nothin's gonna change my world.... CCW (Concealed Carry of a Weapon) could be a few steps closer in California thanks to "law enforcement" in San Diego. That's mainly due to a suit they've filed to allow them to carry guns as peace officers expect to do anyway. UPDATE! CCW is closer than ever! In such a damned "anti state" as CA is, it's quite a statement that cops have had to file suit just to carry guns onto fair grounds. This folks is where the rubber really hits the road. The whole issue of "competence" is at the core of the matter, as in who's "competent enough to carry," a gun? Nice! It's always nice to know that the cops are having to shoulder the pain of proof on behalf of the disarmed and often hapless CA citizens. [Of particular concern was the narrow minded closure of the Alameda Gun Show some years back based on very similar issues as what are addressed in the San Diego suit.] It appears that given enough time and the shear power of the cops' legal representation, ordinary citizens have at least some hope to some day be allowed "to carry" (guns) as in forty other states. This is a very thin slice of good news. However, to properly temper things, the next bull will be about "a cop can do it, but a citizen can't." Nevertheless, if the legal precedent is on the books, as it soon should be, it can't hurt the private citizens' cause too much. It'll still be many years in coming to CA, but it will come. That much appears to glimmer now. This newspaper advocates that whatever any cop may do legally, so too should the private citizen. In a real democracy, that's the way things are done. Citizens of CA merely have to wake up and realize that living in a "pussy liberal police state" is NOT a good idea no matter how "pussy liberal" one may be. The subject of "pussy liberalism" is covered all over this paper. It's a deadly subject too. In the mean time, ALL private citizens need to stand up and DEMAND equal and fair treatment under ALL laws, not just a few of them that "pussy liberals" indicate are okay to use. Just a note one San Francisco's "supervisor" Chris Daly, the failure for all reasons. His pushing of the SF gun ban got him in a lot of trouble and continues to. Seems like he can't take too much stress for any reason. He needs to be watched closely since he tends to get a little mad at others for not much reason. Hostile ATF at it Hard In Northern CA In today's ever increasing repression of private citizen's the golden ATF at the behest of local government has agreed to pull the plug on The Traders's gun store license. A business of fifty years must bow its head to the whims of "law enforcement solutions." This time around, the locals got to misuse the stats about who bought guns legally at the store and whether or not they ended up in crimes. When all the laws went into effect concerning transfer of firearms, it was clearly stated that in no case could the ATF's statistics be used in any way for criminal prosecution or anything outside of ATF. That's now revoked. After all the take downs of "the kitchen table dealers" who usually sold only a few guns at best to known parties, there is nowhere else to go to buy guns except the stores the fed says have to be established, namely businesses like The Trader's. State laws kicked in even more restrictions on gun ownership. In other words, after being a legitimate business, paying exorbitant gun taxes levied by Alameda County for years and for following all the other rules, none of it was good enough. So what is? The ultimate goal is total disarmament in CA while the rest of the states progress into the 21st century. Crime won't be coming down any time soon. Routing gun stores is just another knee-jerk along the way to a full police state. [ For those still "giving a damn" about such things: HR 5092 (Howard Coble, R-N.C., and Bobby Scott, D-Va.) would remove the power of ATF to revoke federal firearms licenses for dealers selling disproportionate numbers of "guns used in crime." It's pretty subjective on the part of the interpreter as to the "guns used in a crime" stuff. Guns do get taken from homes. That's an important point. Some guns are later improperly transferred, a crime in most states anyway. Crime by definition is illegal. "Gun running" is an archaic term. Living in a state next to "a problem state" should not trigger (no pun intended) sweeping laws geared to prevent legal commerce in legal products like guns. New York is an improper example for just about any type of laws governing either firearm ownership or self defense. Bloomberg is a charlatan and has no business advocating law. The term "disproportionate" is a Ted Kennedy fix all word that may be liberally applied to everything. ] Pissed off yet? You should be. If legal businesses are sacked, what next? The original purpose of the Gun Control Act of 1968 was to keep guns out of the hands of "niggers" which it did, by the way. The fed thinks it's better to "Teddy Bear" everything; i.e., talk about "gay marriage" or such and then to "move on." You pay the dearest price for that jazz. You pay with your freedoms and you surrender yourselves to "jack boots" who exercise "jock logic." Dallas Revisited by Michael Bradford Mark Fuhrman, the former LAPD detective, has just published a book in which he believes he proves who killed JFK. He didn't even get close to doing any such thing just like all the books before. It's astounding to me how someone who launched his career on total failure may continue to fail his way to glory. Even more astounding to me is how Fox pushes his every word daily. It should be remembered that his testimony cost the O. J. Simpson conviction naming only one thing. His being in the corrupt LAPD in itself was nothing to simply forget about since LAPD even now continues to do destructive things to people. I was amazed that Fuhrman's book "featured" public record autopsy photos that were nothing new and that just about anyone could get. Fox made a big deal of presenting this great detective and his book live at Dealey Plaza in Dallas. That was about the only thing outstanding about his book and nothing original. During the interview and presentation it was pointed out that though Dealey Plaza may photograph largely and impressively, it's small by actual measurement. In other words, a fair rifleman definitely could have gotten off the required number of shots. Yet, Fuhrman had the same problems explaining the Zapruder film. He thinks Kennedy fell back in his seat due to neurological reaction and the fact that he was in a corset due to his back condition. Nothing new. Since I was in Dallas the day of the assassination, I can say that since then a lot of people have come and gone. Many were merely money grabbers. A lot of suffering was inflicted upon the city too. That I'll never forget! Fuhrman is in no better position to delve into any remaining facts about the event than anyone else could. His book is another rehashing of the same things only with his name on it. I'm not going to dignify this "book," so I won't mention the title of it. I doubt seriously if he could have written any book himself, but I'll have to let that one go for now. He lied in a major trial he testified in on behalf of LAPD. That sums up my view of Mark Fuhrman and his motives on this Earth. I'm including a quotation from my own unpublished book below. Each time I think of that day in Dallas, I have to relive a tragedy that no one needed then or ongoing for the rest of my life. "It was the saddest day of my life and one I'll never get over. I'll never forget the PA system coming on, as though by accident. At first all the kids were amused by the mistake. We could hear the radio in the background for quite a few minutes. Then the strangest announcement was made: '...we have just received confirmation that the President of the United States is dead!' Then we heard a real newsman cry. A man no less! Crying on the radio! It was the sickest sound I can ever recall. The desperation of it hit with the same impact of a bullet. Part of me forever will be seated in that lunch room looking at the astonished faces across from me. It was bad enough to be in Dallas that day and quite another to be an idealistic fourteen year old from a lowly Democratic Party home living in a solid Republican district. That event was the crudest wakeup call I could have ever imagined. I'll always remember that day as the day of the biggest let downs that foreshadowed so many others yet to come; and, I'll never forget my beloved President who seemed to stand for everything I ever could have hoped for. 1964 was a very tough year for me and for Dallas..." From Michael Bradford's unpublished autobiography, Living Within the Bright Light's Circle, U 1999, San Jose, CA. Just some other notes about 11/22/63: The fear set in big time. Lyndon Johnson wanted all guns immediately made illegal. He nearly got his way. The Boy Scouts of America soon dropped their shooting merit badge. Numerous shooting events were trashed. The City of Dallas underwent an unprecedented attack from all parts of the world. The bad feelings lasted for years. Major conventions that were to meet in Dallas were canceled, among other things. Some prefer to say that the Dallas Cowboys were responsible for pulling the city up out of the mud. It's probably true, but the hatefulness of the press is hard to forget no matter the years gone by. |

Why Pussy Liberalism Is So Dangerous
Conflicting ideas are probably the simplest pair of words for describing what pussy liberalism is. At its very simplest, it's not so bad. It may mean only "stay away from me 'cause I'm special." At its worst, it may mean hand over America in the name of truth and purity to any well meaning foreign invaders. The same person may embody both concepts simultaneously as well as a few others.
Pussy liberalism cuts many ways though. To some it may mean to be non offensive always, no matter what. It could mean I hate you if you are a conservative. Conservative has become a funny hate word too. Originally it referred to financial responsibility and good overall accounting principles. Lately it means Bush. There's a vast gulf of misunderstanding about a lot of things swimming around in the minds of pussy liberals.
In the vast sea of pussy liberalism there is free floating and unbridled hostility aplenty, even for specific food items. It would seem that the minutest thing is subject to extreme questioning and heavy bombardment. At times pussy liberals act like the label on some food item is positive proof of "governmental abuse" or some form of "monitoring." Of course, hot button issues include other words or phrases that suggest intentions to drill for oil or explore for it. Often times, the cause and effect part of reasoning is completely missing in the minds of the pussy liberals.
From the outside, it appears that the mind of a pussy liberal is in constant frantic motion and having copious problems sorting out good from bad or reasonable from irrational. Something is definitely wrong with pussy liberals. It's probably more like a psychiatric condition akin to schizophrenia, a state of conflicting emotions.
As such, schizophrenia is almost an ideal woman's mental health issue in America, but that's beside the point. Schizophrenic males have done their fair share of damage to others in violent ways. It's not violence that needs questioning, it's the reasoning, that nearly absent reasoning in many private individuals these days.
So then come the politicians who appear able and all too willing to capitalize on fears, uncertainty and doubts. FUD (fear, uncertainty and doubt) is like the grease for the skids. If a horse represented the Id, then FUD represents methodology inclined to slide him to water or even over a cliff. When someone can use FUD well, he can do anything.
Someone who's really sick and confused looks for someone else to help him out. He's already a victim. It won't take much to FUD him along. Politically, this is accomplished in numerous ways.
It may be done with certain "sexual" rewards that are difficult to explain in a single article, but sex role identity is a good way to FUD someone and to get them to do services. It may be done with "re-assurance" like "don't worry, I won't really let anyone hurt you." Or, it may be nothing at all, just a wild loose "feeling" perhaps associated with a specific location in the world. Some nuts migrate to such places because they have a "feeling" they will be safer there. A totally darkened room may serve the same purpose to some greater or lesser extent.
After being FUDed enough times and therefore left hanging, the FUDee starts complaining and crying. At first, it's only internally. Later it's outward and may be very loud and nonsensical. A person in this state may reach out for religion very suddenly or anything else that seems to be a road marker. They are extremely vulnerable at that point.
A lot has been considered in the area known as "false alternatives." This concept comes to mind during a cursory review of the late 60s or early 70s. At that time, a number of people started spewing things like "instead of going to Mars we need to feed the homeless." The problem with that kind of illogical reasoning is that the trip to Mars never in any way was part of "feeding the homeless." Nevertheless, to a well FUDed pussy liberal, it makes very clear sense as do many other things that also represent "false alternatives."
It's as though a pussy liberal needs very severe disciplining, but can't get it no matter how hard they scream for it. Yet, as they begin to bound forward with all their standard and socially pre-approved mantras, they also seem to be saying "I'm right and you're wrong." That's very curious how someone can be out of control and be almost literally yelling at the same time they are right but everyone else is wrong. Especially is this strange when it's directed towards some political party or some very unique person who's "the cause of all things bad." However, nothing substantive is offered as proof of concept.
Some other steps along the pussy liberal continuum include joining FUD groups and some self inflicted FUD. UFO FUD is usually a component somewhere along the line as in "the government is covering up UFOs," etc. Illness is the stronger part of pussy liberalism although it ranges from the harmless to the outrageous and even to the extremely dangerous, but what is most dangerous?
If any office holder can convince a FUDed constituency that only they have the answers and only they are the truthful person, anything is possible. Of course, the need for conflict is very important. It's important to keep people guessing, surprised and upset to the maximum extent possible. This is an art form in America, but it's not too difficult to master. All that's required often times is transfer of blame as simple as "those no good people over there did this to us!" If that sounds stupid, it is, but it works.
Obviously, if everyone can be manipulated at purely an emotional level, they may constantly be made to fail along predictable lines. For example, anything that requires a certain normal amount of analysis can be turned into an absolutely overbearing problem. The advantage goes to the manipulator in power every time. Taxes are frequently FUDed into existence that way.
In fact, the less and less reasoning on the part of a fully FUDed constituency the better. FUD can even be a person like Uncle FUD sometimes spelled FUDD instead, just so no one catches on. Again, reasoning and or analysis is not a significant problem after years and years of FUDing everyone. FUD at times may the process of preconditioning everyone in order for them to receive even more FUD. FUD is always done in steps like today you can own guns, but tomorrow you'll have numerous hoops to jump through in order to keep them. FUD applies to almost anything, but the key concept is reduction of reasoning and taking away of funds or property from babies who may no longer be able to say no.
If pussy liberalism were called FUD as perhaps it should be, it would be much easier for everyone to understand what is being done to them systematically. Given enough time, people will have no rights, but also will actively participate in the elimination of those same rights.
That's the reason why pussy liberalism is so
dangerous. It's a method of robbing people, of making them feel falsely
validated and at the same time is the method for the humiliation of others be
they pussy liberals or not. In its most advanced form, pussy liberalism is
cold, thoughtless, murderous and completely outside of what human existence
should be about. Pussy liberalism is inconsistent with the original founding of
America.
