Islamic Roulette: Don't Define Invaders as "Refugees"




 As "immigrants" flood Europe from Syria, Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Algeria and certainly other countries in the region, it goes without saying that the Obama bunch and the United Nations with which the bunch always conspires will do everything possible to assure that the United States, no pun intended, drowns in an excess of these “refugees.”  After all, liberal Democrats and the power-mad know prospective voters and slave material when they see them.  Pardon my noticing, but a good many of these “refugees” appear well-dressed, happy and far from starvation.

Unfortunately, a furthering of our cultural destruction won't mean a damn to the D.C. gang, for their agenda is set in stone and the eruption of all the worst aspects of the refugee situation is now in season and ripe for the picking.  Never let a good crisis go to waste, you will recall.

Germany, England and European Union – What the hell is the matter with you??? This is it, the ISIS dream, the perfusion of Islam all over Europe, and then the USA.  Who are these thousands allowed to migrate so easily, so completely?  Who among a seeming preponderance of young men are the extremists, just waiting and planning to construct mosques, firm up Sharia and breed enough young radicals to take over European countries, one by one?  As if pre-planned?

A major question, unanswered -- Why aren't Saudi Arabia, Jordan and other wealthy nations in the affected area stepping forward to accept all the refugees?  They have the money and the means to do so, but no, it's obviously easier on them to let the stupid Europeans and Americans absorb immense human problems upon shores where economies and social trauma already fester and boil.

Are there too many people in the world?  Here, I'll answer that:  Yes, and the next global billion is well on the way, destined to hang around and stink the planet up even more as science continues an insane quest to save everybody from every possible illness, accident and chronological age.

These are not the 1940s, nor the 1960s.  The refugee platter on this occasion does not constitute Jews fleeing from the Nazis, nor South Vietnamese peoples avoiding the communists.  This time, it's thousands of Middle Eastern Muslims, practitioners of Islam’s religion of death, and think what you will -- ISIS couldn't have had a better day than this, a rare opportunity to disperse its potential, if not established, followers all over the place.  Have these extremists not already told the world, again and again, that it is their intention to send disciples all over the planet to facilitate a Caliphate?  What madness greets an arrogant religion honoring death over faiths which cherish life?

Remember, only months ago we learned of a boat filled with Middle Eastern refugees, and along the way on a cursed ocean journey the Islamists literally threw all the Christians overboard.  So, three guesses what's coming to dinner now?

I hate to sound so monumentally crass, probably a result of securing only a bachelor's degree instead of going on to become one of the progressively enlightened with something more academically cherished among the smarty pants crowd, but, as the Clinton not currently facing prison might say, it is what it is.  And, indeed, here's what it is:

The Western world is poised to take in a whirlwind of Islamic reinforcements, and before long there will be new mosques and new calls for Sharia law to engulf society.  Many -- who knows how many? -- of the new "immigrants," by virtue of the religion, which tells them bluntly to either convert or kill  "infidels," are almost guaranteed to cause immense trouble for cultures in which they refuse to assimilate -- the same problems we in the USA currently face, and will likely find ourselves even more engulfed by as our current criminal government leadership in suits and suit pants continues to pursue anti-American decisions with U.N. advice.

As recently as August, the FBI admitted that all 56 of its field offices were involved in tracking ISIS-related activities within the United States.  And we want more of this invading the Western world and our country?  Even years after 9/11, we haven’t learned that what happens badly in and from the Middle East must stay in the Middle East?  How long before those 56 field offices become tied up in knots, unable to perform at all?

And oh no, It must never be forgotten that President Obama and Hillary Clinton are especially responsible for the current deluge of immigrants.  From Iraq to Egypt to Libya to Syria and beyond, their magic mutual imbecilic touch and perfumed incompetence left doors open aplenty for the ISIS "JV team" to enter and set up evils the modern world has scarcely imagined until witnessing horrors on You-Tube.  This, not "Obamacare" or other tarnished legislation and executive orders, will be the real legacy of the Obama bunch, dutifully recorded by every honest historian, once the dust of this era settles and the flesh of  hope and change  rots away, leaving bones of failure, lies and orchestrated divisiveness behind.

I fear we have not yet begun to know the meaning of  overwhelmed.  These are not simply refugees, not even immigrants in the traditional sense.  Many nice folk individually, no doubt, but collectively they bring the potential, initially, for a sweet-scented hell on Earth, a hell we won't tackle until it's too late.  As usual.  Charity?  More like sympathy for the devil, to quote a movie title.  Current events aren't strictly a human tragedy -- they're an invasion, and surely misguided Christian kindness and backdoor United Nations-inspired maneuvers will unwittingly tempt the perils of Islamic conquest.  Multiculturalism's clash with established laws and standards does not hold a society together, and there are no better warnings to be heeded in deadly sobriety than the ones currently coming over the horizon by the unmitigated thousands. 

The 21rst Century Trojan Horse is now open for business in the West, and anybody who sees something angelic in the faces of children whose arriving families nevertheless look upon Western ways with contempt is deluded.  Be not swayed by tragic, yet agenda-ridden televised images of dead drowned children or adults who unsuccessfully attempted a sea journey.  Instead, beware the future, and beware the lies of radicalized Islam, whose teachings condones lying to reach desired results.

The Iran "deal,"  meanwhile, steamrolls forward, and we know from experience that the Iranians are lying about everything.  At the earliest opportunity, somebody -- whether Israel, the U.S. or other Middle Eastern neighbors -- needs to destroy Iran's, um, peaceful nuclear energy program.  If not now, just imagine 10 years down the road, when Iranian technology will likely be too far advanced to risk messing with?  There is no good ending here -- unless the majority of Iranian citizens who detest their fanatical religious leaders can arrange one.  Unlikely.

Cars, cars, cars.   Auto companies, listen up -- No more doors, windows and troublesome door locks controlled electronically.  If people can't get off their lazy butts and use keys and handles or cranks to unlock doors and put windows up or down, maybe those people shouldn't be walking the Earth?  Here, enjoy a nice deployed airbag sandwich filled with nutritious deadly chemicals. . .

Hey, thanks Jeb Bush, for speaking Spanish when you should be emulating the English-speaking American presidency.  Now that we've heard  La Raza  (that means "the race," and probably not my race. . .) is paid for by the federal government, we really love the beauty of the language.  Not.  Okay, I'll take the great music of Freddy Fender and Flaco Jimenez, but beyond that I want English spoken by my representatives here in the USA. 

The pope who fell to Earth:  Mr. Pope, I ain’t Catholic, but were I you I’d be making an attempt to re-join reality and make more waves about Christian and Jew-murdering Islam than about the scientifically faulty theory of human-made climate change.  I know it can’t be easy growing up under Marxism like Obama did, but if you really intend to pursue the climate thing whilst simultaneously condemning capitalism, and begging the USA to accept even more freakin’ phony Islamic “refugees” with questionable intent, the only conclusion I can reach is that during your early years as a bar bouncer somebody slugged you over the head with a bottle that failed to shatter into harmless little pieces.  That must have hurt, and the concussion alone probably affected your . . .

And Hillary?   Yep, lady, you are one brilliant expert about laws of the land.  What’s it got ‘cha?  Apparently, as of today, a little love from CIA analysts.  But what’s reportedly a couple (at least) of highly classified e-mails today when the chicken coop was left open years ago?  I doubt that an  Elect Incompetence in 2016!  bumper sticker will make your case, though you certainly have your devoted fans, yes you do.

Still at it:  The Black Lives Matter crowd will turn out to be their own worst enemy, but beyond that we suggest its cult-like followers redirect their vision to the White House and Dept. of Justice, institutions currently held hostage by the most astute race-baiters in the country.  Just what have the Obama bunch and DOJ done to improve race relations in seven years?  If you  BLM  screwballs can't even get it through your heads that  Hands up!  Don't Shoot!  were words never spoken in Ferguson, MS on that terrible day, then you truly are beyond either hope or truth, and truth is that rare quality these folks apparently can't burden themselves with, as they pursue and almost own a copyright on the fineries of practicing racial hatred.

One more notation:  If impoverished black people think it's bad now, just wait until their hero, President Obama introduces an even more significant Muslim refugee / immigrant element into the USA, pretty much guaranteed to swallow up jobs like Pac-Man -- your jobs, American jobs.  Who pays?  You pays, homie.

The Puppeteers of Medicine



NBC-TV's evening news reported this weekend on U.S. nurses (apparently nurse practitioners, for the most part) who, in a country faced with an increasing physician shortage, have taken it upon themselves to see patients who otherwise would have no medical care at all.  I did not catch the full report, but the trend discussed involves nurses who have a medical doctor available (on the side) to call, should a patient require a more in-depth investigation.

Seems rational, right?  Well, that depends upon whether you're you, me or the American Medical Association (AMA).  If you're the AMA, you wag your little lobbying finger in Washington and say no, no, no.  Why?  Because the AMA wants nurse practitioners doing their thing directly under the thumb of an on-site physician -- who, seems to me, is probably always an AMA member by virtue of being a doctor.

Physicians get pissed when you refer to the AMA as a "doctors' union," but one thing is sure:  This organization wields immense power over you, me, life and death decisions and the way our medical professionals are expected to practice medicine in the United States.  Increasingly, though it seems like only a few years ago when considerable attention was directed to the importance of the doctor-patient relationship -- where each listens to the other and develops a treatment regimen based upon mutual knowledge and trust -- all of that appears to have flown away with the wind. 

I'm amazed over stories I've encountered recently about patients having little or no say in their treatment methods, as medical professionals turn more and more to drugs and away from the wonders of nutrition, proper diet and even something as small and reassuring as a "bedside manner."  In fact, a person known to me personally as an individual endowed with advanced medical knowledge and experience was basically thrown out of their new disagreeable physician's office because the doctor insists upon acting primarily as a prescription drug pusher and apparently little else.  Oh -- and that particular physician also has poor grades at online sites and comes off, in addition, as a proponent of sending patients off to psychotherapy, perhaps more often than the norm.

Physicians and other health professionals are already spooked enough over a never-ending barrage of lawsuits by attorneys empowered with a sixth sense known as  got'cha.  That's why it's just a shame that omnipresent AMA standards have created teams of physicians almost relegated to robot status, afraid and forbidden to exercise treatment options outside the caducean  gate of acceptance.  That equates to enhancement of the drug culture, baby, drugs for one and all.

As in so many other realms, I guess it could be interesting to learn which lawmakers receive election contributions from the AMA and in what amounts, but what really matters is the future:  Nurse practitioners and others will be forced to take up a lot of slack until and unless a physician shortage reaching around five figures can be alleviated -- no matter what the AMA prefers to believe or attempts to make us believe.  As we're quickly discovering, the future isn't at all what we anticipated even a decade ago, and medicine, too, is ripe for twists and turns beyond health administrators' dreams. 

Prediction from a soothsayer moron -- The Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) boondoggle as it currently stands will sink by virtue of its own weight.  Meanwhile, should your medical insurance be lacking, and you happen to experience the terror of a UFO alien abduction, at least take advantage of the situation by asking for a complete physical, and don't forget to request lab results.  Bonus:  No co-pays, payment denials or outrageous bills in the mail.

From prep school to perp school:  So, an (then) 18-year-old male student allegedly had some kind of sexual experience with a 15-year-old female student at a prep school whose name I forget and have no reason to remember, anyway.  With the jury trial over and the most serious charge of rape dismissed, punishment on other violations is pending.  What surprised me most was the possibility, under the most serious charge, that the guy could have been sent to the slammer for 60 years.  As things stand, he may receive up to eight years behind bars.

Sorry to be so mean and ignorant, but I see a country where young men are currently under attack just for being  born of the male gender -- which, I've little doubt, a certain segment of society would prefer to be altered surgically, just to play fair.  First VCRs, and now computers have also pushed us into a far more permissive society, transforming sexual experimentation into activities and attitudes almost deemed normal and acceptable today.

Yes, I do have a problem with severe penalties involving sex, almost sex or coulda' been sex between two people whose ages are barely three years apart.  Sixty years in prison?  One suspects that some of these old bastard lawmakers and judges tend to forget how readily aroused they were at the sexual turning point of their own lives.  Nature, unimpeded by sex laws, makes young folk do some unexpected things sometimes, and the mere threat of penalties is canceled out by the teenage brain.  The what?  Did you forget about the teenage brain? Well. . .

Wasn't it three or four years ago when the psych community (sigh, yes, them. . .) drooled forth with their latest pronouncement that teenagers' brains don't fully mature until folks reach something like 24-26 (28?) years of age?  Hmm.  Given this profound dose of enlightenment, how can current laws hold anybody below this age range responsible for anything at all, sex included?

But what about basic values, morals?  Good luck finding those, they were swept out by the mile long ago.  What are the churches teaching?  Churches?  You mean those places of worship which won't even address or show outrage over Christian genocide practiced daily by the ISIS crew all over the Middle East?  So much for values.

Sex laws in general, nevertheless, are so archaic and unyielding in the current era, probably in large part because everybody already feels guilty about the mere existence of sex -- I mean, it's most unrefined and embarrassing manifestations can't even be stomped out like a campfire, no matter how one tries.  But you want to put a kid in prison for 60 years for something which (1) appears consensual and (2) involved teens of a generally mutual age range?  And then you throw in the alleged female "victim" crying on the witness stand, always a tear-jerking, male-destroying guarantee to sway juries?  To continue to base interpretations and "punishment" purely upon numerical age doesn't appear a reasonable choice in the current era.   I say the whole damned system is bonkers.  Prep school?  It sure was!

Donald Trump vs. Jorge Ramos:  Ramos is an illegal alien advocate and activist masquerading as a journalist, and as an American citizen he should be ashamed of himself for aiding and abetting the destruction of American culture, as border-jumping criminals continue to invade the USA from all over the world via the Southern border.  Trump was perfectly within his rights to be Trump at his press conference.

White TV station news personnel and yet another white cop are executed by black radicals,  racists and/or crazies, and still our illustrious president and Dept. of Justice head have little or nothing to say in condemnation.  Which takes us to. . .

How about a citizen's arrest?  Today's yummy fantasy:  During a presidential press conference, a reporter from a major news service breaks from the crowd and announces a citizen's arrest of President Obama.  Yeah, handcuffs, the you have the right to. . .  speech, the whole thing, then it's off to a jail cell, followed by a trial, conviction and a long prison sentence for violation of oath, for softening national security and for diminishing American influence with intent.  And, oh yeah, for letting racism fester throughout the land, with nary a word to make it stop.  Apparently, for this criminal administration -- whose members REALLY should (might?) face serious legal consequences one day for actions detrimental to the national interest -- black  bad lives matter.

Steven Spielberg's Biggest Screen Fantasy Yet - Obama Repackaged?


Some of you probably think that because I'm a crusty old wartime veteran. . .um, well, okay, you got me, so I'm not (yet) crusty, "old" is appropriate, and though I served in a medical capacity during the Vietnam Era, I was never in combat.  But still, you might think my favorite movies would be war films.  Not.  Not.  Not.  In fact, I doubt that a preponderance of combat war veterans from the World War II and Korea Era ever favored watching a glut of Hollywood re-creations of everything they would prefer to avoid for the rest of their lives - or, as I've heard some say, why would I want to watch movies about war's horrors after I lived through the real thing ?

Last week, I pulled out the musical soundtrack to 1979's Roller Boogie, starring Linda Blair and Jim Bray.  Script-wise, the movie was beyond awful -- yet, intended primarily for the young and young at heart who worshipped rolling skating (skating in roller rinks was The Thing back then) and/or foolish young love,  Boogie was a sensation (as I recall, compared to Skatetown USA, it seemed as solid as Gone With the Wind. . .)   I suspect many a drive-in profited from multiple showings.   Yes, I liked it, enough to buy the DVD a few years ago.  "It's Love on Wheels!" promised the promotional material, and indeed the production was sweet, charming, stupid, and seemed to promise enough fun, surf and sunlight to cleanse away some of  the  blood,dust, ghostly echoes and societal concerns haunting the post-Vietnam years.

Even better, much, much better for me -- the movie music soundtrack, consisting of two LPs in one album.  Is that a big deal?  Yes.  Why?  Because as years passed, even as compact discs began to dominate the music marketplace, no CD format was ever issued.  Even today, go online and you'll find messages on different sites where both men and women are begging for quality knockoff CDs, just as they searched for cassette tapes previously, and while LPs are available those often cost a lot ($75 and up used!) or their condition is poor.

Featuring Cher, Earth, Wind & Fire, a lot of Bob Esty and other performers, there's just something about the compilation that keeps you alert and upbeat while you're accomplishing other tasks, and because I often judge a movie by the quality of its music, rather than the story (weird, huh?), the Roller Boogie double LP is one of my favorites - right alongside westerns, science fiction, horror, movie and Broadway musicals and miscellaneous dramatic movie soundtracks (hey, I never said I was a total wussy, did I?).

I was listening to that very music this weekend, catching up on news articles previously downloaded for attention later on, when I happened upon a New York Times online piece (August 16, 2015) involving a potential documentary motion picture about President Obama's legacy -- a little something for his future presidential library, and obviously for widespread public consumption.  Journalists Michael D. Shear and Gardiner Harris, writing under the headline, With High-Profile Help, Obama Plots Life After Presidency, explained:

The process started as early as the week after Mr. Obama’s re-election in 2012,
when the director Steven Spielberg and the actor Daniel Day-Lewis went to a
White House screening of the movie “Lincoln.” Mr. Spielberg held the president
spellbound, guests said, when he spoke about the use of technology to tell
stories. Mr. Obama has continued those conversations, most recently with Mr.
Spielberg and the studio executive Jeffrey Katzenberg over dinner at a Beverly
Hills hotel in California in June, according to some of Mr. Obama’s close
advisers.  The advisers said Mr. Spielberg was focused on helping to develop a “narrative”
for Mr. Obama in the years after he leaves office.

Well, THAT's interesting.  I wonder, will Spielberg transform Obama into an heroic figure, something akin to a key figure from Saving Private Ryan, or perhaps a unique, almost alien genius figure like E.T.?

The very concept of Barack Obama,  whose every maneuver has served to minimize and lessen the influence and international respect of my country, being transformed into a wide screen champion is enough to make one crack.  Nevertheless, if it's true that Steven Spielberg has promised a "narrative" -- that is, what would almost have to be a cinematic makeover of the Obama presidency, to construct a presidency which never actually existed -- I think we all know that the master of movie-making himself will do a bang-up job, and generations to come will watch the historically transformed Obama in awe, digitally enhanced and corrected right down to every heinous Executive Order he ever issued.

We wonder:  Will said documentary include the utter incompetence of Hillary Clinton as secretary of state, Benghazi not withstanding, as she and Obama almost seemed to march hand in hand as their interference destroyed remnants of hope in Libya?  Egypt?  Will Obama be cited for pulling us out of Iraq pronto so he could put that on his resume -- but consequently allowing ISIS to move in, becoming much more than "the JV team" he mused about?

Will said documentary praise Obama for importing Islam "refugees" and others by the hundreds of thousands to the United States, people whom we not only know nothing about, but whom generally possess no education or skills, and will have no appetite for becoming Americans, as they insist on practicing Sharia in our country? 

Indeed, will there be even a hint to suggest that this president might be trying his hand at a little ethnic cleansing in the United States through immigration?  Will his dogged attempts to pepper the country with Muslims, while apparently excluding Middle East Christians who are the people far more at risk as they continue to be murdered most horribly every day by ISIS and its sympathizers, be in the spotlight?

Will Mr. Spielberg, in his "narrative," interview all the folks with Muslim Brotherhood credentials  who work in -- in -- the White House, and ask why these people are so important and critical to the function of the Obama government when,  were they in Egypt, whose wise leadership has no tolerance for the MB influence, they would likely be arrested as criminals and imprisoned?

How about most of the mainstream media, which panders to Mr. Obama's every whim and is directly responsible for portraying him as an almost god-like figure, even as "Obamacare's" residual costs cause economic suffering among Americans who were perfectly fine with their insurance before this progressive piece of legislative crap hit the streets?  Will major media get a tip of the Hollywood fantasy hat, too, praised and summarily excused for not doing its job?

Don't forget "Fast and Furious," a must-see segment focused upon former attorney general Eric Holder who, sadly, has already slithered off into the sunset, leaving behind a clone to fill his shoes.

And not to forget -- will the famed director show Obama at the podium, speaking about global warming climate change global warming climate change, appearing and sounding almost like a real-life personification of Klaatu from The Day the Earth Stood Still?

Will the Obama story ultimately be presented through the efforts of Steven Spielberg?  What do we know?  Very little, actually.  Just what the NY Times reported.

Oh, but I DO know how The Great and Powerful Spielberg can take what's real and bend it into the fiction and fantasy of his filmed storytelling, and yes, we've visited this subject before.  In 1977, his UFO alien blockbuster, Close Encounters of the Third Kind lit up movie screens and amazed viewers the world over.  Unfortunately, its impact was a tad blunted because, concurrently, an insignificant little film from George Lucas called Star Wars got in the way and caused a tad bit of commotion itself.  Much more, actually.

Yet, imbedded in Close Encounters, not long before its storyline climax began to unfold, there were a few quick seconds where a cluster of newspaper and magazine articles regarding UFOs appeared in a scene intended to help solidify the main character's strange and rabid concern for the topic.  Among the articles was the title page from one of my own Argosy UFO magazine articles (see the black page with the white UFO circle).  Used as a prop, my article was tucked among others, some of which I recognized as pages from other REAL publications.  While many motion pictures use phony newspaper and magazine articles just for "show," Spielberg's crew went for as much "real" as possible, and I understand that. 

Of course, I received no payment for my material becoming the stuff of which fantasy cinema is made. though I might have accepted $1.29 at the time (by 2015, I suspect I'm owed more than 20,000,000 dollars, and I was thinking of taking it to a collection agency -- but they would laugh me out of the office. . .just kidding. . .).  As it turns out, this particular article was one of the worst I ever wrote. . .yet Spielberg, Inc. took the bold graphic announcing my conjecture and used it to build upon his cinematic fantasy.  In short, my work became a Spielberg product of sorts.  A voiceless cartoon, a figment, a restroom convenience.  That's showbiz.

The anticipated someday Obama "narrative" will likely pretty up the legacy of the worst U.S. president ever, transforming he and his meddling wife into the George and Martha Washington of our time. It's rather terrifying to realize the might wielded by cinematic story-tellers, the practitioners of digital magic and edits, who exercise the power and wealth to change anything they want -- even history. 

I fear that the leaking sewer of hope and change, Obama's true legacy, woven and spun into cinematic gold,  will rival Roller Boogie's flash and glitter, though the enhanced visuals, concoctions and evasive skating prowess presented as truth should be even more visually stunning, intended particularly to thrill and amaze the future's young and clueless.  Now, that's a motion picture I won't care for at all.  Even if the music's nice.
