One conservativistic pundit sees and says the truth about Blagojevich

Democrats are a serious plague on the universe. Chicago Democrats are near-fatal to everything decent.* But for once, it's time to stand up for one of them, or least against his treatment.

Rod Blagojevich is a former state rep, US Rep and Illinois governor. Presumably he's a scumbucket since he was endorsed for governor by the current Oval Office squatter, Barry Obama. But the hypocrisy in Blago's treatment by the System is shocking. He is simply reaping the reward of the kind of politics he has sown, but to see him deep fried while certified scum like Barney Frank go out on a cloud of glory (as the writer below points out) is too much of a bad thing!

Don’t Send Blagojevich to Prison!

.....the first of which is titled Blagojevich, Scapegoat For Most Politicians : Kevin Trudeau Show.

I pride myself on being one of the extremely few serious pundits of either left or right willing to call things and people exactly what they are. If my frankness offends anyone, I suspect they merely don't know how bad things really are yet..... and I'll bet them anything I'm merely saying out loud what they really think deep down.

Have you ever heard scientific pundits say that most people have no concept how really precarious their whole existence is in the grand scheme of things, including the natural violence of the universe and the Earth's geology? In my studied opinion, it's ten times more so in politics. There's a cannon pointed at your head and mine, and the "two major parties" are struggling inches from the fuse as to who gets to light it.

They both consider us -- the regular citizens of traditional worldview -- terr'ists waiting to happen, and vie for the historical legacy of blowing us away.

High-class Christmas music -- balm for the soul during "interesting times"

Time for a break from the strictly socio-political. The Lord Jesus Christ came to (among many other things) fix it so politics would not be such a massive dead weight on everything.... and so that we could, as a result, spend less time dealing with corruption in high places and more time praising God, e.g. through the arts he has graciously allowed us to develop for this purpose.

I've just spent a few minutes tweaking the next edition of my Organ People email zine and thought you folks might enjoy a couple of the pickings:

St. Olaf Choir and Orchestra - Climb To The Top Of The Highest Mountain
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qjGMf7aO01A

Morten Lauridsen - O magnum mysterium - Polyphony
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9xlUkpqvHWw

The first one aired earlier this evening on WMUU 94.5 FM, the thinly disguised Bob Jones University radio station. You really all should avail yourselves of this rare treasure among "beautiful music" outposts. It may be the only one in the country that also features the unique, gutsy preaching of the late Brother Lester Roloff. But the music occupies most of its programming, and right now it's mostly Advent/Christmas material.... including many a small masterpiece in a wide variety of genres.

The second has made a huge splash in the choral field. Its mildly modern harmonies are merely a slight pushing of the envelope past standard 19th-century textures, and this is truly a sublime performance. Trust Wikipedia to supply a translation of the old plainchant text:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O_Magnum_Mysterium

Many of you are musicians. We all have our favorite genres, but I suspect all of you can anjoy both of the above pieces -- one a folk song, one a classical composition.

I'm getting all choked up just handling this stuff -- I, one of the most jaundiced foes of Christmas mania. I wish all of you a warm, meaningful Nativity season. You who are in the "most politically-incorrect" category might like to contact me about two Christmas parties taking place this week expressly for our kind of people.

You who don't live within 100 miles of Greenville can enjoy the station streamed live via:

GOP candidates blasted by (or at least in) Der Spiegel; even Israel feels starts to feel queasy over them

Out of all the millions of public figures and media outlets who absolutely should decry the emperor's new clothes, i.e. the insufferable banality and criminality of most of what goes on in "mainstream" public affairs, finally somebody takes a sledge hammer to a subject long overdue: the horribly vulgar spectacle of the race for the Republican nomination for Pezident!

http://www.spiegel.de/international/world/0,1518,800850,00.html

The Republicans' Farcical Candidates

A Club of Liars, Demagogues and Ignoramuses

A Commentary by Marc Pitzke

I have no idea who the writer is, or whether this is classed as an official feature or got posted as a subscriber's musings. But it is simply amazing that it happens anywhere near Der Spiegel, one of the top-circulation German news magazines going back ages and ages.

As you may gather from blatant hints in the text, Der Spiegel is politically correct to the hilt. In great contrast to most of its material, Such plain speaking is like Schweppes tonic water -- curiously refreshing!

...........In same day's gleanings, a yet more exciting page dated 11/28 from Haaretz, the Israeli(e) paper that exists to scream Zionist supremacism at the world:

http://www.haaretz.com/blogs/west-of-eden/republicans-and-israel-too-much-love-can-kill-you-1.398258

Republicans and Israel: Too much love can kill you

Its curiously named scribbler, Chemi Shalev, says there was a "flurry of anti-Israeli tweets following last week’s CNN debate" of the RepubliCONs. For him to mention it, it must have been more like a firestorm.

Comrade Shalev is in a tough spot. His country is a massive, world-girdling network of crime gangs, and the world is finally beginning to wake up to the fact. ameriKa has served as Israel's junkyard dog for one-fourth of the time since the Declaration of Independence. ameriKans are getting sick of it, partly by having given so much but only gained wave after wave of dead or ruined youth.

ameriKan conservatives see their country going down to a cold, watery grave like the Titanic, but their illustrious Republican candidates' top priority is always to pamper, glorify, protect, enrich and "bless" another country full of people who happen to hate everything we hold sacred.

The article contains a beautiful summary of the monstrous things Newt, Herman, Rick et al said in the debate along these lines. Please read it! Some folks don't want to hear a negative word about Israel, ever, but thanks to Washington's serial proxy wars in its behalf, Israel happens to be the biggest little subject in world politics today.

We are not actually in the Afghanistan War or the Iraq War. It's truly, literally World War III. It was such while the "Coalition of the Killing" was still going, but it still is since those countries have bailed out because ameriKa is going through the countries that worry Israel and bombing the daylights out of them.

Almost as if to "amen" me on this, Bill Bennett's "Morning in America" radio show was about guess what today?* "WHY PEOPLE SHOULD VISIT ISRAEL". In other words it was a free promo for tourism to the bandit ministate!

Mind you, Bennett is rated one of the great thinkers and icons by Christian soccer moms. Oh, doncha know, he was DRUG CZAR under that epitome of right-wing fanaticism, George H.W. Bush! How many times has he been a guest on Docky James Dobson's radio show?

Even if you love Israel and believe the BABDIST interpretation of Genesis 12:3, you must admit that on a program supposedly dedicated to the conservative Christian worldview and agenda there are thousands more urgent topics than tours to the ex-Holy Land! Hey, there are Muslim gangs right here in Anderson, South Carolina -- there's a hot moral, political, theological issue for you that affects most ameriKans right where they live. I don't remember Bennett ever coming here to do a remote on the problem, or even having a guest on the show to call for the outlawing of gangs. (Nobody but me seems to call for that.)

I prefer to call Bill "Shill", and he certainly earned the title today with flying colors. When's he going to air a tally of the Israelis, yes, Israelis, peopling the US government?

Oh -- Shill's guest today was another neocon pundit much beloved by little fundies who subscribe to World magazine, Dennis Prager. He called himself a son of Abraham and a son of George Washington. Cute!

...........I cadged the Haaretz item via IHR.ORG, homepage of the incomparable Institute for Historical Review. The next item under it was no less pithy:

Gingrich's Version of American Exceptionalism Could Insult Our Allies
Jill Lawrence -- The Atlantic

... Conservatives nevertheless are on a tear to save American exceptionalism, or at least their view of it, from the likes of Obama. And Gingrich has been in the forefront. In June he published a book called "A Nation Like No Other: Why American Exceptionalism Matters." He and his wife, Callista, produced and co-star in a 2011 documentary called "A City Upon a Hill: The Spirit of American Exceptionalism." A trailer for the film describes exceptionalism as the idea that America is "more open, more vigorous, more optimistic than other nations." ... Gingrich's assertion that America is No. 1 in caring about those we send to war was just one of countless eyebrow-raising statements he's made in his decades-long political career.

What gives me the sinking feeling that the GrinGrinch's books are nothing but calls for ameriKa to be allowed by whatever rules it wants at a given instant?

Pardon my sarcasm.

Herman Cain Supporters Flocking to Ron Paul

An online community created in support of Herman Cain for president has now shifted its allegiance to Congressman Ron Paul, notes Revolution PAC. The administrator of HermanCainForums.com, a website with more than 18,000 registered members, publicly endorsed Rep. Paul Saturday following news that Cain dropped from the Republican primary race. http://news.yahoo.com/herman-cain-supporters-flock-ron-paul-195610208.html

Ron Paul - Not Romney - Leads Anti-Gingrich Offensive

With Newt Gingrich now surging in the polls, the first Republican presidential candidate to attack him in a paid TV ad isn’t Mitt Romney. Or Rick Perry. Or Michele Bachmann. Instead, it’s Ron Paul. The Texas congressman has emerged, arguably, as Gingrich’s most vocal critic -- at least for now -- cutting a web video from last week that was scathingly critical of the former Speaker into a 60-second TV spot for air in Iowa. http://12160mhz.blogspot.com/

Anxious Greeks Emptying Their Bank Accounts

Justice delayed AND denied again for the Grabers

Via media of all kinds you learn of innumerable innocent people getting run over by the tank treads of the lawless fedgov on some technicality, or merely bureaucratic whim. Increasingly, these crimes are perpetrated against your own friends and associates. As many of you are aware, this has been the case with some stalwarts (one might almost say pillars) of the Atlanta PN club -- Howard and Nova-Lee Graber. I've got to get the full exact story from them ASAP, but here's what I understand of it:

The Grabers didn't go for any pie-in-the-sky do-gooder socialist mortgage, but they (if I recall correctly) fell behind in their mortgage payments. Somehow and with no rhyme or reason about it, the responsible and law-abiding couple suddenly found themselves victims of a violent, berserk eviction from their home.

Brutes in uniform repeatedly tasered Nova-Lee on the ground floor. Howard, who at the time had severe physical problems, was upstairs in a wheelchair, unable to come down and confront them. They couple soon out on the street, then living in a motel room on the largesse of friends.

What the goons didn't count on was Howard's steel-trap mind and his dedication to the black letter of the law. He has been litigating against the atrocity since, and as so often happens, the System's response has not been apology, much less restitution -- courts have simply kicked the legal can further down the calendar with each new filing by the Grabers.

The media -- enthusiastic prostitutes to the System generally -- have behaved viciously as well. Poor Howard finally started to heal. (I believe his problem was a broken back.) He heard about a TV contest in which contestants would dance in celebration of having overcome major health problems that had immobilized them. Howard entered and won, a testament to his tenacity and determination -- but the media only sniffed fresh blood.

Rather than celebrate with him as they love to do with members of their list of accredited victim groups (Wilmot Robertson's brilliant name for them) the presstitutes chose to attack: "Fake!" they yelled. "This guy is guilty of medical fraud -- he claims to be seriously injured, but look, he's won a TV DANCE CONTEST!" I don't wish them ill, I just hope they get to enjoy being in the position they so gaily jam others into someday.

Howard has been updating us on his filings and legal responses and responses to the System's ongoing recalcitrance. He let us know the big day was to have been today, Monday, at 9 AM -- but here's the report as Kris Anne processed it:

Just got a call from Kathy Patriot. Court was scheduled at 9 AM and they sat there for nearly 3 hours before finding out Graber attny was assigned to another case by a different Judge in a different county at the same time as Grabers were to appear today. So they get a continuance. Someone said it would most likely be rescheduled later this week.

The courtroom # had been changed last week and somewhere along the line, the Judge has been changed too.

No doubt judicial favors (sneaky lawyer tricks) were called in so as to delay the proceedings so that Grabers would lose their supporters.

The state now has 31 cops to testify against the Grabers. This is an increase from earlier in the week.

I don’t know the adjective to use to describe this corruption! THIRTY ONE CORRUPT POLICE OFFICERS IN GWINNETT COUNTY, GA!!! They are willing to lie under oath and to violate their oath of office!

Not to mention the sneaky lawyer tricks. This case is nothing like I’ve ever seen. They didn’t even railroad The Great One this much…at least not in his last SC Supreme Court case. Possibly they did before I came on board when he was sent away. You would know more details on that.

I can answer that -- they did. Take the case centered around the Charlotte PN group circa 1993: the judge who would normally have heard it was known to be much friendlier to truth than others (he had a record of ruling in our favor) so the fedgoons called a pitiable yet poisonous relic out of retirement for this express purpose: his dishonor, district judge robert potter.

potter was literally deaf and inaudible. Robert, never one given to mere insults, pronounced him senile and one of the greatest fans federal absolutism ever had. One of potter's first pre-trial acts (before the jury could hear it, natch) was to growl at all concerned that the Constitution was not to be mentioned. Several times during the trial he had half a conniption fit when he thought someone had invoked it!

I haven't spent much time in Atlanta, Kris Anne -- and I'm a great defender of honorable police -- but I can promise you there are more than any 31 cops down there ready to sell their soul this way.

Please keep up with further developments on the Graber saga via PN email groups, everybody. See if there's some way you can help them.

SPIN: Democracy at work - a documentary by Brian Springer (1995)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fvkwnthwd7Q

I've always mandated careful and judicious choice of words, my main thesis being that to use the devil's terms and jargon is to give him the whole game without a fight.

Just think what words such as diversity, tolerance, and progressive meant half a century ago and contrast with the ruins made of them since. Now they respectively signify ethnic chaos, passivity before the leftist agenda, and leftwing. This is the age of abortion, but did you ever wonder where the word abortionist went? Why doesn't it have pride of place in the "progressive" lexicon? Come on, it's a woman's right to choose.... to kill!

Please remember the fun, classy word that covers this field of study -- dialectics -- as you go about mastering it day by day.

Oh, we're sure, Nancy! What joy, knowing that when all else fails in getting the only un-socialist in the presidential race (Ron Paul) a fighting chance, Socialist Party A hates Socialist Party B so much that it will purport to assail its deities on our behalf.

Other forces are emerging to give Newt the political heave-ho as well. Sometimes the sun pops out on a grey winter's day.

Donald Trump joins the Ron Can't Win Chorale; Dr. Paul outclasses him; talking heads getting the idea?

Woohaaa, this is a pleasant alternative to the usual TV yammer!

Ron Paul Refusing To Attend Debate Hosted By Donald Trump
http://www.blacklistednews.com/Ron_Paul_Refusing_To_Attend_Debate_Hosted_By_Donald_Trump/16861/0/38/38/Y/M.html

Here I was working up to a lecture about the "media darling" subspecies, when this trio of show hosties did the quite unexpected: they admitted that Ron's numbers are looking better and better. One of them even called this phenomenon "fun"!

Let's dream, and dream big! Imagine.... visualize.... and reify in your mind's eye the great man from Texas getting elected. The ecstasy of the patriots, the anguish of socialists worldwide! The inauguration, the lopping off of dead-wood federal departments, the shock and awe that our genteel, smiling friend would bring on those who've been begging for it hardest!

Lefties are so dramatic, they're often heard at this point in the Pezidential quadrennium saying of the Republican choice (or a GOP contender, as the case may be) "If HE gets elected, I'M LEAVING THE COUNTRY." They've laid this rant on "W" and other genuine Republican monstrosities, but so far it doesn't seem to be heard this time around -- either the entertainment deities refuse to believe a President Paul would be possible, or maybe they would rightly view him as a totally, absolutely different kind of Republican. They would be right!

As for Donald Trump, he doesn't have a conservative bone in his body. If he weren't ready made for Insiderhood he would never have been allowed anywhere near such prosperity as he enjoys. He used the F-word when teasing the sheeple with the possibility of his running for office -- if you ask me, that says everything one needs to know about what he's made of socio-politically.

I didn't burble gurgle over the idea of him running. It didn't fire my imagination. Thank God we didn't go there!

Poor Hispanics -- from pillar to post!

Rep. Ros-Lehtinen: Pivotal Hispanic Vote Deserting Obama
http://www.amren.com/mtnews/archives/2011/12/rep_ros-lehtine.php

I just knew that within 3 lines of the start of the meat of this article, the politician would be chirruping the word "family" -- and there it is.

If anybody's telling the truth in this story, it is unexpected good news. For Hispanics to desert el non-presidente would be a crushing blow to his ego (if it's not made of super-tough carbon fiber) and a big embarrassment to the Dummacrat Party. After all, they are the party of Diversity with a capital D, a big happy melting pot, big tent (or shall we say a "full-figured" tent), Kumbaya.

I suppose Ms Ros-Lehtinen thinks she means it when she says the GOP is the natural party for Hispanics, but it's hard to imagine anything further from reality. So far all nonwhite groups go heavily for Democrats because it's Socialist Party A and they believe the mass-media lie that it loves them. It does, but only as a strategy for fracturing America and bringing chaos everywhere, race-mongering being one of the quickest routes to it.

I wish I could be there to see the Latinos' beaming faces reflecting the broad grins of the Republican power mafia as they welcome the diverse ones into the GOP big tent. But I also yearn to read their expressions when they realize they've been had all over again -- used by prostiticians whose first thought is to guard against accusations of racism and whose second is how to play with stats and pigmentations to best rig the next election in their favor and come out smelling like a tamale.

The "two" major parties are ever in search of new races to opt, but the Democrats are the real natural-born used-race salesmen.

IF the Hispanics seek refuge in the GOP, they will be going from fealty to Obama, who is stupid as a "pillar" in a post office, to backing some neocon faker who is deaf as a "post" to the concerns of normal, healthy genuinely conservative Americans. Such a deal!
