RANT: Colin Kaepernick is a flyspeck and not the issue we have to face
Wednesday, September 21, 2016Received a forwarded email from a relative with a lot of picture meme, mostly from Facebook, about Colin Kaepernick. Since I have no life, I immediately took issue with the importance of this fellow.
# – # – # – # – #
Dear Usual:
Of course, he has the right to protest in any manner he sees fit.
While we have many many “problems” in this country, we have the opportunity to change.
Over my lifetime, I have shifted politically from “right” to little L libertarian. At the same time the country seems to have shifted from “right” to “left” while losing it’s collecting soul and in some instances mind.
I don’t know how we get back to the Dead Old White Guys’ vision to a land of peace and prosperity. But making this fellow either a scapegoat for misplaced anger, or anything more than the trivial spoiled individual who seeking his “identity”, is a wasted misplaced effort.
Hence, I’d like to focus on the big issues and what can we do to change them. Most notably, the welfare / warfare state which is besieged by Crony Capitalists, politicians, and bureaucrats that suck the system dry.
I’d start by bringing all the girls and boys home from these foreign mistakes until we have a real national unity about spilling blood and spending treasure. Then, I’d eliminate “welfare” for everyone — corporations and individuals — politicians and “fat cats” alike — and reset the Nation on the path of fiscal responsibility and individual responsibility. Tough love for America might, just might, recapture the American dream.
I regret that it’s the posterity that will inherit our hubris.

POLITICAL: What do we do when faced with overwhelming evidence?

What Is the FBI Hiding?
By Andrew P. Napolitano
September 15, 2016
*** begin quote ***
What is going on here? The FBI investigation of Hillary Clinton has not served the rule of law. The rule of law — a pillar of American constitutional freedom since the end of the Civil War — mandates that the laws are to be enforced equally. No one is beneath their protection, and no one is above their requirements. To enforce the rule of law, we have hired the FBI.
What do we do when the FBI rejects its basic responsibilities?

TINFOILHAT: HRC’s double!

Body Doubles: A Very Handy Politico’s Tool, From LBJ to HRC
By Phillip F. Nelson
September 14, 2016
*** begin quote ***
An interesting story about a purported “Hillary Double” is now bouncing around the internet, even though it has not yet broken through the “glass ceiling” that covers the Mainstream Media (MSM), except for a few places where it is mentioned in hushed tones, as yet another “conspiracy theory.”
*** and ***
The accompanying report notes the fact that when Mrs. Clinton left the event at the 9/11 memorial ceremony she collapsed and had to be lifted by several of her attendants into her van. Clearly, that vehicle is specially equipped to accommodate her needs and is never very far away from where she is. After it drove off, instead of taking the obviously very ill candidate to a hospital, it turned out that less than an hour later, she emerged from her daughter Chelsea’s apartment building looking as “fit as a fiddle.” Still another rumor has it that Chelsea’s apartment includes a special room that is equipped just for her mother’s needs: A standard hospital room, with the bed and all the other related medical appliances one might find in a hospital.
What gives the story “legs” (no pun intended) is that when Hillary did emerge from the apartment building, she seemed to have lost about 20 pounds in the process and had apparently even changed her earrings, even though she seemed to be wearing the same clothes as she previously had worn at the ceremony. But another interesting point was observed which also makes the entire vignette quite a bit more enigmatic: She was alone, not one Secret Service agent or the large black man in suit and tie who is usually always at her side, carrying something that looks a lot like a medical device even though her campaign says it’s only a flashlight (But why is he always carrying it in the daylight)? And worse, she wanders out to the sidewalk and proceeds to hug a young girl, even though she was just diagnosed with contagious pneumonia! As America is temporarily “relieved” to see the candidate recuperate almost instantly to what had seemed to be a severe, life-threatening medical emergency, the cloak of concern simply morphs into one of astonishment. Not to the wonders of modern medical treatments that could work so immediately, but to the question of what is truth, contrasted with what is possibly related to the worlds of sorcery and black magic: A product not of medical technology, but that of the world of ages-old gypsies and grifters: It’s known colloquially as “blue smoke and mirrors.”
*** end quote ***
Sorry, but I agree that they are using a “body double”.
The tip off is nothing that looks like Secret Service!
Argh!

But after 40 years of lawsuits and extensive scientific studies, the FDA has finally made a sensible decision about the matter.

Who needs the FDA if it takes 40 years?
Argh!
And we already know they are a tool of Big Pharma.

RANT: What have we to show for 15 years of war?
Friday, September 16, 2016
http://personalliberty.com/15-years-911-perpetual-war-liberties-lost/
15 years after 9/11; perpetual war and liberties lost
Posted on September 12, 2016 by Bob Livingston
*** begin quote ***
So, what have we to show for 15 years of war?
Our currency – and with it our morality — is being destroyed. Paper money fiat – which is being created at a record pace to fund the wars and prop up the phony economic recovery — is directly the foundation of Machiavellian mentality.
Government printing press money distorts economic reality, dilutes morality and is the true source of “income inequality.” Financial speculation rises with the increase in paper money and the general work ethic deteriorates. The something-for-nothing mentality pervades society.
Paper money promotes the “quick buck” syndrome like narcotics peddling and hookers on the streets. Hookers, incidentally, were widespread in the Weimar Republic in Germany in 1923 because the women had to sell their bodies for food for themselves and their families.
In a paper money society, the social order visibly deteriorates. The morality of the stable gold standard gradually changes to the amorality of fiat. Few people see the cause and effect, and the politicians try to legislate human behavior. They always fail, as the system is overrun with jails and prisons.
An unlimited supply of paper money buys sophisticated arms that create fear and the propaganda to manipulate the people against their personal freedom and best interest. Fiat paper money is tyranny or becomes tyranny. It guarantees criminal government.
Paper money, personal freedom and privacy are incompatible. Paper money centralizes power to the state and diminishes the individual. This is the first cause of all you see happening. All modern wars are paper money wars. Paper money pays the politicians their lavish profligacy, and they keep their mouths shut about the fiat system.
*** end quote ***
A lot!
The worst lost is the sense of American exceptionalism.
And, the moral authority from WW2 has been squandered by politicians and bureaucrats.
At the end of WW2, America was beloved around the world.
Then, little by little, drip by drip, it was squandered by the politicians and bureaucrats.
Enabled by the FED and Crony Capitalists, everything was stolen.
They talk about the Clinton’s taking the White House dishes and all the W’s from keyboards, “we” lost so much more.
How do we recover it?
IMHO, it’s restore “honest money”, balance the budget in REAL terms, and come to grips with the debt.
First step is to bring home all the girls and boys from these overseas “adventures”.
Getting our own house in order is priority one!

RANTING: Apologizing for Generation Meathead!
Thursday, September 15, 2016https://www.lewrockwell.com/2016/09/no_author/generation-meathead/
Generation Meathead
The Burning Platform
September 12, 2016
Guest Post by The Zman
*** begin quote ***
Maybe that happens, maybe it is too far gone and alt-right is a just an echo from the past that is too far gone to matter. Regardless, generation Meathead will be remembered as the cohort that gnawed away at the social fabric of the nation, like rats, until it began to fall to pieces. Maybe this election is the start of the great cleaning up of the mess made by guys like Reiner and he cohort. Maybe it is something else, but their time is coming to an end. Generation Meathead will soon be gone. Good riddance
*** end quote ***
I remember a line from a movie directed by Rob Reiner
“… You gather a group of middle-aged, middle-class, middle-income voters who remember with longing an easier time, and you talk to them about family and American values and character. …”
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0112346/quotes?ref_=tt_ql_trv_4
I remember “with longing” for that easier time.
… when only those with military experience could aspire to be a Commander in Chief or a Senator.
… when the Blue Dog Democrats were the budget hawks and the Republicans were too.
… when there was a Senate selected by the State Legislators and there was no such thing as an “unfunded mandate”.
… when there was shame at being on the public dole and folk looked after each other.
… when criminals were severely punish and honest citizens could be safe in their daily lives.
… when the money was honest.
… when the politicians and bureaucrats were too. (Alright, there was the concept of “good graft”.)
I feel sorry that the “Greatest Generation” may have abdicated their responsibility to transfer their ethic to the next one.
Hopefully, it’s not too late.

DeSantis finds it staggering that Saudi Arabia was “granted sovereign immunity” despite so much evidence pointing in its direction.
“Since when do you afford sovereign immunity to a foreign country involved in terrorist attacks upon your country that kills tens of thousands, not just the 3,000 that they claimed that day, which I don’t believe as I think it was higher, but those who have died later from their injuries and their illnesses,” he said.

Seems like it!
We need to get to the “true story”.
Was this like the Reichstag fire?
