Bits and Pieces for August 2023

Does one political party in the USA have the power to take down a country's constitutional republic while simultaneously working to destroy its political opponents in ways never before seen?  I've always had a preference for bananas as an edible fruit, not as a republic, so whatever self-serving actions the "new" Democrats are perpetrating in violation of historical legal practice, I hope all of their purely political nonsense regarding Trump and his associates finds a fast exit. Unlikely.

Some Republicans, primarily the ones who sit on their hands and do nothing to fight back, are fond of declaring that the problem with those who voted for Biden is their status as "low information" voters.  I disagree.  Don't be kind at times like these.  The problem with far too many elections is the NO information voter, a species overwhelmingly present every election season -- the brain-deprived who vote badly just for the sake of proudly declaring they voted for familiar names, devoid of all reason why, thus renewing the whole disastrous cycle for another few years.

May I just add, as if (strangely) addressing Iran or North Korea -- but I'm not -- death to the administrative state!  Make America. . .America again.

A Senile, Corrupt president's administration orders even more questionably poisonous, heart-endangering Covid vaccines:  And Biden wants YOU to take it.  Well, he wants your kids to take it as much as you, but maybe he's willing to wait until they secretly change their genders at school.  Meanwhile, plans appear afoot to make sure as many of the unsuspecting as possible mask up yet again so they can grow bacteria and viruses to breathe back into their lungs for a round of infections blamed on any other excuse available.

Your favorite TV network news host isn't telling you this, but according to scientific studies whose results cannot be twisted into something favorable to leftist manipulators, the more Covid immunizations one has, the more one is open to catching Covid.  That, together with Swedish researchers' new discovery that about one in every 35 Covid immunization/booster recipients risks cardiac damage of some kind, must raise the caution flag.

Further, pushing the troubled mRNA delivery system on an unaware public via other pharmaceutical jabs is just wrong.  Who will tell the people?  We urge you to stay in touch with our link (on the right) to Revolver, a Web site well-equipped to bring you evolving medical news, in addition to other unpleasant stories hour by hour.

Klimate Kidnappers:  Just who awarded Democrats and their buddies in the global community the -- obligation? -- to be lords of the climate?  Didn't anybody learn about lies from "experts" years back when climate deception was discovered at the University of East Anglia?  If these loons continue to feed us nonsense and non-science which involves taking away "fossil fuels," gas stoves, affordable personal transportation and a world of conveniences in trade for them achieving more power over us, we'll be hopelessly condemned to miserable lives for years to come.  Once they finish stealing our wealth and dictating our futures, it's all over.  All we have is the vote and, to be sure, if voters don't use the ballot to get us out of this tyranny next year, I don't know what we'll do.

Bob Barker:  TV's eternal master of ceremonies has died at age 99.  Somewhere around 1960-1962 my parents took us to see Barker at the New York State Fair, where he hosted a traveling version of his then-hit daily game show, "Truth or Consequences" (precursor to "The Price is Right") at the old open-air grandstand.  I was only a kid, but as Barker ran up and down the stairs to select contestants for the stage below I was ever so impressed with his immaculate appearance and attire.  I admired him not only for his professionalism throughout the years, as his long marriage survived until the death of his wife in 1981, but Barker had been a military pilot as well.  His well-known love for animals and his spay-and-neuter reminders on "The Price is Right" will be long remembered (though there may be spayed and neutered dogs and cats, victims of his advice, who feel betrayed!).

Lee Speigel's Credibility Factor

I never knew writer Lee Speigel, long involved with science and the paranormal, but his death a few days ago prompts me to bring forth what may have been his major accomplishment -- at least in the ears (yes, ears) of people who have followed the UFO story for decades.

My long appreciation for UFO-related audio recordings of all manner reached a peak in the 1970s, when radio and TV programs featuring guests knowledgeable on the subject seemed commonplace in response to heightened public interest.

If you're old enough to remember LP record albums (I don't believe I'm actually writing those words), you may have noticed the occasional release of UFO records in the sixties, such as Frank Edwards' "Flying Saucers -- Serious Business" (taking advantage of his best-selling book) on the prestigious RCA label.  Far less known, but perhaps far more important was 1967's "The UFOs" narrated by a professional astronomer who (gadzooks!) believed UFOs could be real.

Also in the mix as sixties blended into seventies were albums from radio's Long John Nebel (which contained portions of his programs going back to the 1950s) and Hal Starr, who shared some of his own radio shows related to UFOs.  Broadcaster Bob B. Blue offered his own efforts in a 1974 LP with the title, "Are UFOs a Reality?"  Blue's production presented some great audio and guests, but his status as relatively unknown across the country kept his album mostly hidden from a receptive audience.

However, while the 1970s would also witness the release of a double-LP produced pretty much on behalf of the Center for UFO Studies, before that came about a single LP entitled, "UFOs:  The Credibility Factor," produced by Lee Speigel and released by CBS Records on the Columbia label in conjunction with eyewitness testimony and authoritative opinion in 1975, much of it was presented by people with familiar names.  (See accompanying visuals listing contents.)  If you happened to be watching television in the fifties, you would easily recognize the identity of the LP's narrator, John Newland, host of "One Step Beyond," whose familiar voice only enhanced the LP's quality.

Speigel's production, offered by a major record label, surely created a "sound" influence in people's attitude about UFOs, and we thank him for the effort.

Slap-Down, July 1965

Long before Air Force basic training spent a few weeks beating me down in 1968, I was already being emotionally emasculated by government officials whom I pestered about UFOs on occasion.  One of my favorite letters, sent to my congressman after I raised questions, came from the then powerful chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, L. Mendel Rivers.  

Considering the sober tone of recent congressional hearings on the UFO phenomenon and its implications, it doesn't take much to dismiss Rivers' comments, underlined in red -- and, by the way, the very Air Force which Rivers took obvious delight in holding up as the arbiter of all that flies in the skies has been conspicuously absent during the new hearings, maybe to the extent that a blue USAF uniform should appear on milk cartons promoting the missing.  

Keep 'em flyin' -- if you can find 'em!

It's A Strange, Strange World You Live In, Master Jack

Special Clownsel -- or could that be Counsel? -- Jack Smith was apparently cursed and ready to do battle with tilting windmills from the very moment of birth.  How could he NOT want to take on the world's petty disruptions when he knows intimately that men all over the country have been signing the name Smith on cheap hotel registers for decades, every time they acquire hookers for momentary, otherwise anonymous relationships?

Worse, it's particularly a matter of signing the entire name, John Smith, a combination uncomfortably close to Jack Smith.  How annoying, how insulting, how. . .how ripe for revenge in prosecutorial terms.  Could the mere knowledge of society's John Smith hotel syndrome have condemned Mr. Smith to the utter judicial madness he currently administers to Donald Trump?  The guy's like a human photocopy machine with charge after charge after charge against Trump.  To be sure, there's kind of a history of his frantically whipped-up work being shot down by the courts eventually, but he refuses to let a setback here or there discourage his intrepid efforts at securing justice of sorts.

Pity Jack Smith.  How many times during the course of a month, when he requires overnight residence in an exclusive hotel, does a pattern repeat itself?  May I help you, sir, asks the clerk?  Yes, I'm Jack Smith and I have a reservation.  Jack Smith?  Re-e-e-e-e-ally?  You'll need to do better than that, buddy.  We know your kind and we know what you intend.  We don't allow THAT kind of illegal activity here, so whatever you plan to do, forget it.  Now, give me your real name or get out.  But I am Jack Smith, look, here's my identifi. . . No way, buddy, anything can be faked.  Look, you better leave and try the fleabag hotel down the street.  Our hotel has standards.  Get out!

Should you, dear reader, be one of thousands of men across the nation intending a hotel session with a lady of the evening this weekend, go forth boldly, unashamedly and -- as a tribute to his fine government work -- sign in as Jack Smith and show your support for this fine name.  Chances are, the desk clerk belongs to some left-leaning union, and the mere mention of the Jack Smith name may get you praise and deep appreciation because you'll instantly be thought of as The Man Who Got Trump (at least temporarily).  Truly, a paper hero for our time, especially among Democrats.

It's little wonder that Smith wants to indict anybody he can with even the flimsiest of ham sandwich evidence perpetrated by Democrat operatives -- the journey requires merely a short leap from high legal standards to junkyard jurisprudence.  What's in a name?  Everything, if it's Smith, and it might lead to feelings of inferiority and an almost pathological need to go on the attack against others in an attempt to escape the demons behind one's own ridiculously common name.  Jack Smith?  I'm not even sure that a quality exorcist could drive out the flames manipulating his judgment.

While Smith's efforts focus upon Donald Trump, seems there may be a U.S. President occupying the White House right now whose family sold out the country to foreign enemies using his name and government position as vice-president.  If you're gonna be a Special Counsel dude, isn't it more logical to pursue somebody -- if not an entire crime family -- who actually may have screwed the whole country, as opposed to somebody who dared speak words under the First Amendment and stated a fib or two -- as was likely his right?

Jack Smith, Jack Sprat, something that doesn't mean jack, it's all the same to me.  Reminds me of my Air Force days when I enlisted just after starting (the Vietnam draft, you see) a college education in radio and TV broadcasting.  One of my friends (known as "Buff") on a base also wanted to pursue this avenue, high on attending, I think it was, the Elkins School of Broadcasting upon discharge.  We occasionally played around with some broadcast equipment his wife allowed into their off-base home.  One day, in a flash of brilliance (?) Buff left me a crude note on base reading simply, "Barrow:  You can't be a broadcaster -- your jack's off!"  Hmm.  Hmm.

Can't win with jack.  Can't win with Smith.  Based upon everything I just laid out, I tend to think Donald Trump will ascend above a good deal of the politicized tripe set forth for The Agenda.  Much of this starts to bear a striking resemblance to what Putin is doing to Navalny, his Russian rival.  

Keep in mind, there is one man in America, in Washington, who could instantly put a stop to all of this, but of course he won't.  When you're dirty, you're usually filthy dirty and corrupt to the core.

Join the Navy and see the world (of Chinese communist cash):  Maybe it's that new equity thing, but it seems to me, with the apprehension of two young Navy men of Chinese heritage, charged with spying for China, that our military is desperate for recruits and failing to vet incoming personnel.  Or maybe we've reached the point where those who vet don't know how to do their jobs.  So now what?  Prison?  Rehab (!!!)?  The only possible deterrence for such crimes is execution.  The threat of prison time appears less viable and more like a lengthy hotel stay for modern law-breakers.

Go jab yourself:  We haven't seen it yet, but there is a Swedish (?) study indicating that a remarkable one in every 35 people OF ALL AGES who received the Covid immunization (especially via one company's product, it is alleged) literally has some kind of detectable cardiac damage.  If we expect this science to be reported by the bulk of America's pick-and-choose media, expect to be disappointed.  Bronny James:  Maybe think twice if dad suggests your next Covid booster, being that LeBron J. appeared s-o-o-o-o into shaming folks who wanted nothing to do with this instant pharmacological manifestation of a witch's brew.

The Rocky Horror John Kerry Show:  Like Covid, John Kerry has become a virus attempting to infect everybody with his climate fanaticism. Add this guy to Al Gore and what do you have?  Pick-and-choose science which benefits only their take on climate, as the rest of us lose liberty, choice, power, money and all the good things America was originally all about.  There are tons of science voices in sharp opposition to Kerry's screed, and they must be heard as they surface one by one.  The only climate I fear is the one currently orchestrated as lies told to young people, warned that they must lose everything and have nothing in order to "be happy."  Kerry, Gore, the United Nations and bad science are obstacles to truth as they foment a new religion from hell called climate change without apology.  If the value of our dollar has shrunk by 20 percent in recent years, just wait for the climax under the powerful smash-and-grab political lunatic fringe as it attempts to deprive us of petroleum, natural gas, propane, air conditioners and all the devices required to function using these resources.

The Democrats must be kicked out of office and maybe to another universe, for this is the party currently helping to build a larger slave plantation than any of slavery's ancestors could possibly imagine, a wholly owned subsidiary of communist China.  How do we make young people witness the suicide they perpetrate upon themselves when inside of the voting booth and selecting "D" for demise?

Social Influencer Convention in NY City:  There you have it.  Dangle promises of a few goodies before the masses on social media and thousands storm the streets at once.  It's rather puzzling to figure out why so many potential X-Box winners arrived "peacefully" with shovels, fire accelerant and other naughty weaponry ultimately used upon police officers, each other, cars and other property.  Following the mayhem, Mayor Eric Adams and the chief of police excoriated parents for not showing up to control their precious little darlings -- yet, here in the city that never sleeps, a welcoming sanctuary city to thousands, ever since LBJ's "Great Society" was this place not the living mantra for single moms with no fathers necessary in the picture?  Parents?  For this bunch?  Are you kidding?  Do you think cops in fear of getting their heads bashed in by young thugs they dare not deservedly shoot dead care about parents?  Not to worry, Manhattan district attorney Alvin Bragg might play daddy for some of these folks, who will ultimately believe they won something better than an X-Box.  We wonder what would happen if a social influencer announced that arrests on the streets of New York City would commence in 30 minutes for everybody who shows up with a weapon?
