The Magical Music of Bob Lind is On Tour

Bob Lind today...

Los Angeles, CA—Back in 1966 there was a hit single, Elusive Butterfly by then 23 year-old, Bob Lind that was re-recorded by scores of popular singers including Petula Clark, Johnny Mathis and even the Four Tops.  Lind has since written many hits made famous by other artists along the way.  Today he's got quite a few wonderful songs you really need to enjoy.  

Bob Lind  is currently on a Western United States tour right now.  He is playing in intimate settings that are incredibly enjoyable.  He’s appearing in WY, CO, AZ and CA in various venues.

Is it Finally the Beginning of the End of the Obama Nightmare?

Los Angeles, CA—Was this the real revelation Andrew Breitbart was planning to make that he knew would bring down Barack Obama?   Was Breitbart murdered to bring about his silence?

There are still so many questions that need answers.   Things are just not making sense and usually when I find myself confused during an investigation, major things will be discovered.   Frankly the incredible timing of Breitbart’s death and the huge financial stake of Obama’s political campaign places murder right at the top of my list.

Have the people around Breitbart been terrorized into silence?  We’ve heard nothing from his grieving family and precious little from his business associates. 

Obama has spent well over a $1 million in legal fees to avoid producing simple documents like a certified copy of a birth certificate, passport and student loan records.  People only do this kind of concealment to protect dark secrets from surfacing.

So far the courts have gone out of their way to protect Obama’s records from any public scrutiny.  The mainstream media including Fox News has given Obama a pass on this question. 

Despite clear and convincing evidence gathered by investigators and expert’s the allegations of document forgery have been awash with scorn from mainstream media political hacks.

Obama must be a Natural Born American Citizen to hold the nation’s highest office.  If he was not qualified every act, every piece of presidential activity is invalid.  He placed the nation in a constitutional crisis.  This may well have been a crime too.  Forgery and fraud has certainly occurred. 

There is far too mush evidence and efforts to conceal the facts to allow this charade to continue another minute.   It’s time for subpoenas, depositions and the production of records in the matter of Barack Obama’s qualification to be President.

All those responsible for the fraud should be arrested and prosecuted.  This is no small scandal.

My First and Only Encounter with the Late Disco Legend Donna Summer

Munich, Germany—In 1969, I was a young Army medical corpsman assigned in Aschaffenburg, near Frankfurt.  I was in an American Express office and saw a simple poster, it read, “Tanz Zug Nach Munchen fur HAAR.”   I had been rapidly learning German and knew the translation.  It was an ad for the dance train trip to see the German version of the new hit musical Hair in Munich.   The cost, I seem to recall was only 90 DM per person or about $23.00.

I took my wonderful girlfriend of the moment, Gertraud who was a hot little blond from a town called Bad Neustadt and we partied all the way from Frankfurt to Munich.  We arrived for the evening performance and it was terrific.  Just as in the Broadway play they had a few Black actors.  I was unfamiliar with any of the cast members but enjoyed a world-class performance.

One young actress, singer and dancer really surprised me.  She spoke and sang in German.  Her voice and personal style was amazing.  More than a year later I learned that this was Donna Summer performing under her real name LaDonna Gaines.

Summer was the daughter of an American Air Force member and had a wonderful command of the German language as a result of a prolonged childhood stay in this great country.

I learned the sad news today that Donna Summer has died in Florida at the age of 63 from lung cancer that may be related to the 9/11 attack on America.  I will never forget seeing her when we both were entering adulthood and celebrating our youth.  My regret was never meeting her later in life. 

Here is a cut from the original cast album where can you hear this lady's unmistakeable voice.  You will hear this late great songbird celebrate life.  Listening to this today brings me sadness that that great time in my life is gone. Rest in peace, dear Donna…

Why did we Allow Government to Nationalize Charity?

Washington, DC—When we formed our government there were no provisions for social safety nets.  It was just not deemed a function for government.  Americans are charitable by nature and we all hate to see helpless people deprived by circumstances.  We always contributed generously to churches and such to aid the disabled and needy.

We have terrific and efficient charities such as the Salvation Army, Catholic Charities and the American Red Cross.  They were undermined and in effect made obsolete by our politicians.

Government should have been limited to national defense and infrastructure.  Nowhere did we ever create a right to handouts or free medical care.   We created a system where productivity creates wealth for virtually everyone.  

Our politicians have damaged the American dream with wealth redistribution schemes that have punished the productive and instead rewarded criminals and parasites.  The really needy and deserving people are more deprived than ever as a result.

Frankly government politicians and their bureaucrats have turned what should charity into a scam well beyond epic proportions.   Criminals took charge of tax funds in order to administer the social train wreck that has made many millions of pathetic derelicts. 

Our social welfare system has robbed these Americans of self-reliance and the desire to become productive.  We’ve created an entire entitlement zombie population.  As a result our government has destroyed their lives.

Rapidly and uncontrollably we included millions of the impoverished of Mexico and Central America into our social safety net despite their criminal trespassing on our soil. 

We measure poverty by the amount of homeless we see on the street.  Before the War on Poverty and Great Society programs we had only a fraction of the homeless we see wandering the streets today.   Most Americans are not old enough to remember that far back. 

If we are to survive as a nation we must turn back the trespassers and turn over charity to the faith based organizations and such. 

California’s Massive Financial Crisis, Suicide by Spending

Gov. Jerry Brown D-CA

Los Angeles, CA—Governor Jerry Brown passed the bad news along that the spendaholics in the General Assembly couldn’t break their old addictions.  They have quickly doubled the state debt to $16 Billion.  California can’t pay its bills.

They think they can force a tax increase but the clowns can’t seem to understand that slows productivity and causes more taxpayers to flee the state. Tax increases will make the problem much worse.

California’s Liberals have gone out of their way to provide free medical care and education to all of Mexico and Central America trolling for a dependent population to keep their Socialist dream alive.  That alone can easily account for their deficit.

Now the pretend cuts are being made and the liberal judges have been ordering the state to fund programs unique to the once Golden State.  I guess California will have to counterfeit currency like the FED does or file bankruptcy.

California overregulates everything that it can.  They could lose half of the occupational licensing agencies and not miss a beat.   They could end their unlawful gun prohibition activities and save millions there too.

Imagine if California simply ended their participation in the Drug War how much could be saved there along with lives related to drug violence.

The death penalty in California has been quietly costing billions too.  The taxpayers must pick up the tab for both the prosecution and defense of cases that are mired in litigation for nearly four decades each!  It’s far cheaper to weld cell doors shut.

California’s cops don’t have time or manpower to chase criminals but they can shut children’s lemonade stands and arrest those teenaged Steven Spielbergs trying to learn how to make movies for film permit violations.

California will simply continue to spend hoping that the frugal states will be required to fund California’s foolishness. 

California’s politicians need to take an unpaid six-month furlough every year.  That would reduce spending for sure.  They all love to brag about how hard they work.  The harder they work the larger the deficit. 

 

Want to Commit a Burglary, Rob a Bank or Kill Someone in Chicago?

Chicago, IL—NATO week will tie up cops and keep nearly all of them near McCormick Place.  Normally quiet neighborhoods on the Northwest and Southwest will be far more under-policed than normal. 

I can’t imagine that the most dangerous criminals in the Midwest are not thinking the same thing right now.   NATO is creating the Perfect Storm for crime in the Windy City.

Will we see daytime Flash Mobs at Chicago’s shopping malls looting the Apple Stores and such? 

Perhaps it would be a great time to play hooky from work and stay home with a gun handy. 

Who will be watching the cop’s homes while they are forced to deal with the anti-NATO and Occupy swine?  Who will be responding to burglary and hold up alarms? 

Surviving an American Insurrection

Do you really trust this man?

Phoenix, AZ—The Doomsday people are saying that we are about to have a Constitutional crisis and a showdown with the Obama Administration and the turncoats within Homeland Security.  Are they really just paranoid and over-reacting? 

There are those that proclaim this can never happen.  They are in the ranks of supporters of Barack Obama.   At one time the National Socialist Party also had wide support and admiration of most of the civilized world.  That Party’s leader was made our own Time Magazine’s, Man of the Year.   Some twelve years and 50 million lives later his supporters figured out he was a colossal mistake.

What does our future hold?  Will like some have said there will be foreign troops from a Communist nation helping a rogue despot get Americans under control?   I don’t think any of us are really clairvoyant and can say for sure.  Civil war is a reality at one time or another in every nation on earth and what’s past is prologue.

The frightening signs are there.  We have a President that has nullified the Bill of Rights and now has all the powers of Stalin or Hitler should he care to use them.  This nation has never been more divided in any of our lifetimes.  When was there ever a leader that did not abuse absolute power?

Our President has encouraged a class war with the Occupy movement.  That movement lacks a cohesive direction or any discipline and may not impress anyone with their nebulous presence.   With any luck we can simply turn out more criminals from our Congress and the Whitehouse with ballots.

In the meantime Homeland security has ordered some 450,000,000 rounds of small arms ammunition for use here at home.  Just what do they have in mind?

But what if things went bad, and we face home invasions by government, with evacuation, concentration camp detentions or worse?  Then we’d have little choice if we wanted to live in freedom but to resist.

The government has obviously made plans for an insurrection but have you made any plans to restore peace, liberty and the Constitution?  We make plans for fire, hurricanes and earthquakes.  I think to not do so for an insurrection is downright foolhardy.

The plan:

Stockpiling non-perishable food, water, batteries, family service radios, medicines, first aid supplies, ammunition and firearms must be part of any plan.   Also locating significant defensive armaments in unexpected locations to safeguard from home invasion searches.

Every home needs a pistol, rifle and shotgun.  The rifle is the first line of defense and should be either a 3.06 or 3.08 that is needed to penetrate most light amour and vehicles.  The shotgun should be .12 gauge with slugs and heavy shot.  The handgun should be a .45 ACP or as large a caliber as possible.  Lots of ammunition is a must.

Never fire shots from your house unless you want to see it burned to the ground.   Shoot from down the street or across the field.  Have plenty of bags you can fill with sand or rocks for protection.  Visit the Army surplus store and find helmets for your family. 

We have plenty of military and police veterans around.  Make friends with them and with any luck you can work together to live.  What Americans seem to have forgotten is that freedom is not free, but earned with the blood of despots and patriots.

You will ether follow instructions from the “authorities” or not.  Six million Jews once followed instructions given to them by the National Socialists and perished simply because they did not resist.  You’d better make your choice now, either to resist and perhaps live or to cooperate and die.

Why the TSA Cannot Protect Air Passengers from Terrorism

You've been selected for special screening, bend over!

Washington, DC—It began with a rash of incidents by deranged people that wanted to be flown to Cuba or that celebrated case of D.B. Cooper in 1971 where an extortionist escaped by parachute with some $200.000.00 to a presumed death from exposure. 

The response from the FAA was never to interfere with hijackers no matter how easily they could be over-powered. This was the same way bank robbers are dealt with at banks. The give them what they want and hope for the best is nothing a recipe to encourage more of the same.

The results of the FAA security program were indeed predictable and lots of planes were diverted to Cuba. Soon the FAA took extreme steps to secure planes from passengers carrying firearms eventually even banning pilots and sworn off duty cops from carrying guns.

The FAA suspended the American right against unreasonable search and seizure by allowing poorly educated and trained unarmed security workers to rummage through passenger’s carryon belongings. Many of these security workers had criminal records or were illegal aliens!

That did nothing to stop terrorism simply because that’s an impossible mission. That was proven with the 9/11 hijackings and murders of 3,000 Americans and billions of dollars in property damage.

The TSA was originally set up by government knowing full well that this would not and could not end or even reduce the threat of terrorism. It was an effort to create the illusion of safety and security because politicians felt Americans needed to be reassured they could be safe on airplanes.

The TSA was formed with the unemployable people living on the margins of society. Frankly, who would want such a job? They were given the mission of inconveniencing, aggravating and harassing passengers into believing this somehow was a legitimate effort for their own protection.

Getting law abiding Americans in line has never been a problem and that’s all the TSA could hope to accomplish. Dealing with and controlling determined terrorists beyond anyone’s ability.

1. Bombs can be concealed in nearly anything such as candy, pillows, toys and electronic devices. Explosives are made from common chemicals that can’t be discovered without extensive scientific examination.

2. Planes can be attacked with short-range missals or even conventional firearms during takeoffs and landings.

3. The massive crowds lining up to enter security screening are never protected. Someone could get in the line with a powerful device hidden in a large suitcase and destroy a terminal and kill hundreds.

4. Air cargo cannot be properly examined before it’s placed on an airplane.

5. The TSA has many criminal types employed. They steal routinely and aid drug dealers in the movement of large amounts of narcotics. They will take money to help terrorists if they don’t already have a sleeper cell in their own ranks.

6. Small general aviation planes can easily be turned into guided missals flown by fanatical pilots to down commercial jets.

Okay, it’s now obvious that we are really not safe. What can we do to improve our odds and return sanity to air travel? The TSA is nothing more than a pathetic and extravagant joke on America, our troubled airlines and tourist industry.

We should defund and disband the entire TSA immediately in favor of a much more effective program.

The only meaningful security comes from trained and armed law enforcement officers that can react immediately to a real or suspected threat. The second, line of defense are able bodied and alert passengers that are willing to accept responsibility to deal with a terror emergency.

All Pilots should be trained and armed. All trained and certified law enforcement officers should be armed even while off duty while flying. Additionally certain selected private licensed and trained security professionals should be armed while traveling.

We need to keep all people with passports from nations hostile to America off out planes. Law enforcement needs to profile passengers based on behavior and past experience for follow up interviews.

The TSA has victimized the public long enough. This un-American response to terrorism must end if for no other reason it’s ineffective. That have not stopped a single terror related incident but ordinary members of the public have.

How much more abuse are we willing to take?

The TSA is Fighting to Prove its Relevancy Through Media Spin

You've been selected for special screening, bend over!

Washington, DC—The TSA is right on top of the IRS when it comes to fear and loathing.  The TSA has wasted billions on the illusion of security through their program of privacy invasion, theft and sexual assault.

Flying today America has all the fun, glamour and excitement of experiencing the police booking process for criminal suspects.   The TSA has brainwashed the public into believing they are effective and necessary despite the fact they are neither.

The TSA has their own internal propaganda machine that will blitz the media with press releases to justify their existence to the public.  Whenever one of the millions of passengers that flies daily forgets that they had a legal self-defense weapon in some case brought to the airport the TSA spin begins with disinformation.

“Today a man was arrested after he attempted to bring a loaded gun on to an airplane”, proclaims a press release.  What’s left out of their self-serving information was that the middle-aged man had no criminal record, known agenda for terror or other evil motivation.  The man, simply forget to remove the weapon from his bag.  Often it’s a retired cop or security professional.  The TSA’s zero tolerance policy and pettiness is never reflected in their propaganda material.

Likewise when drug offenders are discovered the TSA never reminds anyone that are not there for drug enforcement purposes.  The TSA is always looking for any way at all to cause the arrest of passengers for publicity purposes.  Their hope is that the public is brainwashed into believing that without the TSA we’d all be dead.

Frankly the TSA screeners do miss a lot of guns and knives that are intentionally introduced by their own testers.  The fact that undiscovered weapons are never involved in incident or terror and mayhem is very telling about the actual need of the program.

The fact is that the TSA has yet to derail a single terror plot since their arrival more than a decade ago.  The FAA private security contractors were far less intrusive and no more effective than the over-hyped, over-funded and self-promoting TSA.  Until the mid 1970's we had no security screening whatsoever in our air transportation system. 

America is in an economic crisis.  We need to generate jobs and a good place to begin is in the tourism and hospitality industry.  Billions of dollars have been lost because people hate the TSA’s behavior and refuse to fly. 

We must return fun to air travel.  Most Americans have never experienced what it was like to fly decades ago.  It was an enjoyable experience for nearly everyone.   Instead of the evil eye passengers were greeted with smiles and great service.  Your friends would meet you as you stepped of the airplanes instead of camping out by baggage claim.

Why fly and subject yourself to abuse, humiliation and indignity?  

Bullies Are Protected in the Indiana School System

Bully behavior modification tool

Indianapolis, IN—Darnell “Dynasty” Young is an effeminate, African-American 17 year-old homosexual and a high school student.   The bullies have singled him out for repeated attacks at the Arsenal Technical High School. 

The school’s official’s pathetic response has been along the lines of he should expect the abuse because of his mannerisms and apparent feminine attire.    

After ten reported incidents of violence or threats and no action by school officials or police, his mother Chelisa Grimes sent her son to school with an electronic stun gun for self-defense.  

The expected happened and another attack was attempted and the boy refused to be a victim and brandished the stun gun.  For one thing, that assault ended and for another nobody got a jolt of juice they deserved.   That was obviously a win-win situation. 

School officials now feel the need to take action against the intended victim!  The stun gun in and of itself is a non-lethal defensive device.   What’s the big deal?  They now want to crucify the kid because he had to rely on self-help.  Apparently the lad’s antagonists have immunity for their criminal behavior.

I will be the first to admit the lad different and that had he left his sexual preference in the closet perhaps he’s have not had these problems.  However he has a right be what and who he is without being victimized by anyone. 

Every American should stand up for the right of this kid to protect himself from bullies.  They should also demand the ouster of any school officials that did not summon the police over the earlier attacks.   

As for Darnell Young they must either protect him or return his stun gun.  Frankly I’d rather see that stun gun used on the school officials that facilitated and abetted the bullies.

We have to begin to get tough on the bullies while we still can.   Rather than zero tolerance for the badly needed stun gun, they should have zero tolerance for the bullies. 

If you can’t take steps to protect this kid who will protect yours? 

I found a simple cure for GERD or Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease!

Los Angeles, CA—Many of us have had a disastrous attack of the embarrassing and obnoxious release of stomach acid during a meal.  Often we have had to get up and leave the diner table over this condition. 

The pharmaceutical companies will sell you some expensive snake oil for life to control the symptoms if this condition.  There is a surgical alternative too.  Save your money and misery because I figured out the cure.  Okay I was a medical corpsman in the Army a lifetime ago.

Here is the deal!  Your stomach is normally filled with acid to help digest the food you consume.  It’s volatile and if it expands upward past the esophageal sphincter you are placed in distress.  When consuming food the sphincter must open and the reaction between the food and the acid sometimes seems like a boiling volcano.  

Generally acid reflux sufferers swallow their dry food first then try to wash it down with drink.  That’s when the big trouble begins.  

My cure is so simple it will amaze you that the doctors have not figured it out by now.   The cure is plain old water!  Before you begin to eat that burger or whatever, drink a half glass of water.  What happens is the water enters you stomach and puts out the acid fire.  After you take that drink you can begin eating and the acid volcano will never start!  As you eat be sure to drink a little more as you enjoy your food.

I have also found that if I have soup before the main course there’s never an attack.

Try this yourself and pass it on to others including your physicians.   I hope I have done a small service for my readers and saved them some dough at the same time. 

The TSA Monster is Spinning out of Control!

Washington, DC—The TSA is a rogue patronage agency set up to pretend the government is protecting Americans by stealing their liberty, privacy and dignity.  They hired the unwashed, dull-witted otherwise unemployable to enforce a zero-tolerance policy that has bankrupted nearly every airline and many tourist related businesses.

In our post 9/11 world despite billions spent on the TSA they have yet to derail a single terrorist event.  Ordinary American plane passengers have learned how to protect themselves stopping a handful of minor incidents.

The TSA loves to brag about the number of pocketknives and a few guns uncovered in carry on bags by forgetful passengers.  There has not been one instance where they can claim they uncovered a weapon destined for a crime.  The forgetful passengers are mercilessly punished for their failure to remember because of insane zero tolerance policies.

As Americans line up like frightened sheep most dread the thought of these creepy people handling their personal belongings.  The TSA screener’s proclivities to steal from, humiliate and dominate passengers are beyond horrible.

Considering we once had a Fourth Amendment to preclude exactly what the TSA is doing this is total government tyranny.   We’ve allowed these creeps to grope our children’s genitals and ours.  At what point do we say enough and begin fighting back?

The TSA is growing like a deadly cancer on every form of transportation including our highways.  They’ve surfaced at sporting events and will be coming soon to your summer family picnic like skunks.  

We have to begin by telling our politicians what we want instead of allowing them to dictate the destruction of our Bill of Rights.  Are Americans too cowardly to speak up for themselves? Have we arrived to the point of letting these soulless jerks put their hands in our pants?

We must begin by honoring the millions buried in veteran’s cemeteries that gave their lives so we would not have Nazi style checkpoints and a police state.  If we don’t resist now our liberty is doomed.

My Favorite Baby Wheelgun for Personal Protection

Smith& Wessom 340 PD Air Light .357 Magnum

Chicago, IL—On the mean streets of the Windy City carrying a defensive weapon is a real necessity.  Politicians here have satisfied their political whims and desire to control the law-abiding folks with unconstitutional gun bans.  The actual written criminal defense of, “Necessity” along with the Bill of Rights trumps these political parasites.

Chicagoans need to commute to work, shop and maintain social relationships as they seek out food and entertainment.  The Chicago Police Department is undermanned, outgunned and totally demoralized.  Self-help for survival is really the only choice these days aside from moving from this bankrupt metropolis. 

It is very simple when you’re threatened, you must learn to shoot, scoot and stay mute.  Don’t feel sorry for your dead or wounded cowardly attackers since they made their wicked choice to victimize you. 

The pictured five-shot revolver is equipped with Secret Service Kirenite grips.  The little gun itself is the S&W #340 Air Lite PD in .357 Magnum.  This small ultra-light little item is highly concealable and comfortable to carry.   I will warn you that it is no substitute for a modern large caliber, semi-automatic pistol but it may get you out of a real life threatening jam.

This revolver is hammerless and designed not to snag the pocket of your expensive Burberry trench coat.  You could shoot through the pocket but what a shame it would be to ruin such a nice coat. 

The last time I checked this little gem was running about $800.00 and the exquisite grips are available from www.eaglegrips.com for $140.00

A concealed weapon is just a piece of safety equipment like a seat belt or helmet. Why would anyone walk around unnecessarily unprotected?

More on the Secret Service Grips:

Chicago Prepares for Martial Law!

Chicago, IL—Officials at every level of government are cooperating in an exercise of unprecedented restraint of civil liberties in connection with the upcoming NATO meeting.

They’re shutting down miles of expressways, streets and alleys but for government travel.  The skies will be a no fly zone where anyone found in the air space will be shot out of the sky.  Private property anywhere near the meeting will be overrun with Secret Service, Homeland Security and the dreaded TSA Bozos.

Chicagoans will lose millions in business disruptions.   Government obstruction of commerce and normal movement of people commuting to and from their homes is right out of our worst nightmare.

People will be searched, groped and ordered around by heavily armed men in jackboots and bucket helmets.  They are counting on Chicago cops to obediently follow any and all commands from the Whitehouse.  

If this was not bad enough they are openly making plans to incarcerate thousands into closed and condemned Illinois prison facilities.  They have also set up a master plan to forcibly evacuate city residents to camps in other states. 

I don’t see this as a necessary security plan but rather a dry run for Martial Law.  They want to see just how far they can push Americans around before they will resist tyranny. 

Sadly we already know full well by Europe’s Holocaust that people will respond like frightened sheep and fully cooperate with their own mass extermination. 

Folks, this is only a blueprint for things to come.  We are about to enter some really dark days ahead.   

 

A Shotgun for Self-Defense

Chicago, IL—The greatest defensive firearm ever is the .12 gauge shotgun.  A semi-auto beats a pump anytime.   The promise of civil unrest and a long hot summer seems to be in the cards for the Windy City.

They call this type of shotgun a “riot” gun because it’s very effective against mobs or multiple assailants.  For business owners a shotgun to supplement your handgun may be a needed addition. 

The chilling sound of a shell being racked in a pump shotgun is great for the movies.  The reality is a knowledgeable adversary will know the sound and will realize he must act quickly to neutralize you.  The sound also gives away your position.  The only sound you want them to hear is the last bang they will ever hear in life.

The drawback of the shotgun is the range but in an urban environment that’s not a problem.  You should always keep a loaded bandoleer with a combination of buckshot and slugs nearby. 

When the chips are down and you feel it necessary to draw your handgun the feeling of impotence quickly will overcome you.  The shotgun is definitely a confidence builder.   

I love the discontinued HK-Bennelli M-3 convertible pump/semi-automatic the best.  It has a bit more weight and that makes the recoil more tolerable.  They are out there but exceedingly rare.  Production of this model ended with the HK and Bennelli had their corporate divorce about a dozen years ago. 

These guns are around but are anything but inexpensive if you find one. 

In the video below I send some 0 buck down the range at the target. 

Survival Tactics for Flash Mob Violence

A nice friendly looking mob!

Chicago, IL—As the weather becomes warmer in Chicago's young thugs will again be targeting  their victims out on the streets on the Gold Coast for assault, robbery or worse. Tourists are particularly desirable targets because the experienced thugs know they will not return to appear in a Chicago courtroom to testify.  It’s a fact of life, particularly in the Windy City.  

With the proliferation of inexpensive cell phones groups of savages can assemble quickly out of nowhere.  They count on their numbers to overcome and brutalize their victims.   Don’t let their young ages or initially friendly appearance take you off guard.  Avoiding them on sight is the best policy.

If you must be out do not leave home without a decent handgun, preferably a modern large caliber semi-automatic.  Also carry at least two extra magazines.  Hopefully you’ve already obtained some professional training.

Chicago’s bans on possession and carrying firearms are blatantly un-Constitutional and under review in the courts as we speak.  I don’t see a quick resolution.  I advocate ignoring the bans because your life is far more important than the whims of the politicians who want you defenseless.

You have an absolute right to use deadly force against mobs whether they are armed or not!  Just because you don’t see a weapon does not mean they are unarmed.

You will never reason with or obtain sympathy from a mob, so don’t bother to try.   The closer they get to you the less ability you will have to escape. Don’t let them get close.

As a mob approaches you in a hostile or threatening manner all bets are off.  
Don’t pull your gun and expect they will quit.  They will overwhelm, disarm and perhaps kill you.  Instead look for your exit path, draw your gun and fire at the most menacing thugs in center mass.  You’re not required to warn anyone! Shoot until the threat is over.  Scoot to safety and keep on going.  Do not call 911 or talk about the event to anyone but a lawyer assigned to defend you. 

If you’re in a car that is surrounded the people in front of your car are reasonably presumed accomplices of those trying to assault or extract you from your vehicle.  Step on the gas and run them over!  This is no automobile accident and the traffic laws of leaving the scene of an accident do not apply! Again you need to scoot and stay mute.

If the police detain you, it becomes more imperative than ever that you keep your mouth shut.  You won’t be able to talk your way to freedom if they have you detained.   Cooperation will only cause you bigger problems.  The police will understand your request for a lawyer.  

The magic words to live by are shoot, scoot and stay mute!  The majority of cops will have little interest in tracking down someone who fought back and escaped with their lives.

You must escape these mobs at all cost.  The cops will never be able to respond in time to save you.  Self-help is really, all you have. 


Here is a great choice for a carry gun for Chicago's streets:

Concealed Carry, Castle Doctrine, Stand Your Ground Laws Protect the Elderly, infirmed and Women

Trayvon Martin, the 6'2" bully

The case of Trayvon Martin losing his life while attacking George Zimmerman has brought the debate of concealed carry and various laws regulating uses of deadly force in the court of public opinion.

In Chicago two African-American public school teachers were caught on cell phone video telling students that the NRA wants to murder little “porch monkeys.”  That hogwash was and is nothing less than outrageous, racist and divisive propaganda.  Politicians tax us to pay for this kind of education?  I thought it was more important that children learn how to read and write? Certainly that’s not the case in Chicago! 

Many Americans are pacifists or gun rights haters and can’t accept the right the founding fathers gave us all to defend families and ourselves.   That is the law of the land and a simple majority cannot nullify the constitution.   That has never prevented politicians from saddling us with unenforceable laws barred by the Bill of Rights.

The bullies of the world hate surprises.  They want to carefully pick their targets they know don’t have a chance to defeat them.  Bullies everywhere are discovering that many of their intended victims are packing heat, the hard way.  In the vast majority of the cases a shot is never fired but the bully’s fun is stopped cold.

The fact is concealed carry has given the elderly and women a solid and meaningful survival option.  Over the last 50 years state and local governments demanded that the weak had to submit to rape, robbery and murder.   The carrying of a weapon for self-defense would stigmatize them with a lifetime criminal history.

Laws preventing the bearing of arms can victimize only law-abiding and productive taxpayers.  If arrested or convicted they lose their jobs and business licenses.

A concealed weapon conviction has always had a no effect on dangerous criminals.  Amazingly these charges are the ones used to offer sweetheart plea bargain deals.  They dismiss felony charges for a guilty plea on a misdemeanor gun pinch. The criminal is then free to victimize many more people!

Gun control has always been counter-productive in America.  The locations with the most draconian gun laws always grow more violent with each new gun law. The jurisdictions with minimal gun prohibitions never see an increase in violence and on the contrary crime has been reduced.

We must legalize self-defense to protect the weakest members of our society.  They are our parents, wives and daughters.  We must end the un-American policy of requiring victims to prove they were acting in self-defense return the burden of proof where it belongs.

Stand your ground laws guarantee that nobody has to turn his or her backs on an attacker and become even more vulnerable.  What about the intended victim with bad feet who can’t run or a woman in high heels? 

This is really more about ending the tolerance of criminals that cannot seem to keep their stinking hands to themselves. Why must we continue to accept that kind of criminal act?  Frankly we need to let them suffer the consequences of Darwin’s Law.  

Let Me Respond to Those Who Hate My Defense of Drew Peterson

Drew Peterson 

Bolingbrook, IL—In this once sleepy town outside of Chicago things were quiet and simpler.  Drew Peterson’s legend placed this suburb on the national map.  Or more precisely mishaps involving a 30-year career cop’s wives brought the nation and even Hollywood’s spotlight here.

Drew Peterson is not my friend, relative or former co-worker of mine.  I’ve only spoken with him once while having a lunch with him and his primary lawyer Joel Brodsky.   That was just two days before he was arrested.  He was polite, personable and well mannered.  I’ve not been retained as Peterson’s defense investigator, at least not yet.

I have little interest in defending this honorably retired cop other than defense investigations of the accused is what I do in order to pay my rent.  When I take on a case I'm fully committed gaining any and all evidence to help a client. 

I am however going to zealously defend Peterson's presumption of innocence, due process and the right to legal counsel.  That is just what I’ve done.

Peterson is charged with the murder of his third wife Kathleen Savio.  They were embroiled in a divorce fight for control over marital assets.   Savio was found in her locked home inside her bathtub dead.  Originally this was investigated and ruled an accident. 

Let’s argue for a moment that Dr. Michael Baden who was hired by FOX News to do a second autopsy of the woman years later is correct in his opinion that Savio was murdered.   We can only guess that Peterson did this.  A not so insignificant problem is trying to figure out how Peterson could gain entry to the house just after Savio changed the locks.  People have argued that Peterson had the motive but it appears he lacked the means and opportunity to kill Savio.   Frankly Baden’s autopsy findings are incredibly weak even if anyone was to believe them.

Stacy Peterson is this hapless cop’s fourth wife.  She, like her own mother who disappeared years earlier is missing.  Before you begin to suggest Peterson was involved with that too you need to know that they have never met.

Stacy Peterson was seeing other men including a young man from Coal City, IL who told police that Stacy told him of her desire to slip away and disappear just days before she did.  Frankly I suspect any of the men she was dating of involvement if there was foul play.  Stacy has never been found and Peterson has never been charged in connection with that disappearance.

There are those that don’t want or need evidence to convict and hang Peterson for what they claim are two murders.  That kind of due process we can expect out of Communists and Nazis.  I’d hope, only the most ignorant Americans would accept that kind of justice.  There are millions of ignorant Americans that don’t understand that they and their loved ones would eventually suffer under that kind of a dangerous police state.

Peterson will never win the title of husband of the year and neither would most cops.  Cops have a difficult life of constant conflict; occasional violence and they make lousy husbands.   Nobody ever talks about some grim realities of the notoriously high suicide rate and the inescapable fact of rampant undiagnosed Post Traumatic Stress Disorder associated with this profession.  

Peterson like all of us deserves the presumption of innocence and the credit for never having been convicted of a crime in his life.  Illinois politicians made a special law just for Drew Peterson to allow hearsay evidence into an American court.  That is nothing less than shocking.  Is has the strong order of an Ex-Post-Facto law enacted after an event that is being retroactively applied in addition to it’s other frightening aspects.

Nobody including me has to like Peterson’s marital history or the way some people claim he treats women.  We are free to dislike or even hate him but when we accept the violation of his rights to a speedy trial, due process and allow for hearsay evidence we are only hurting ourselves and way of life.

I’m not really defending Drew Peterson, but myself and everyone else from bad government.  Every government in history has victimized his or her own people at one point or another.  Our own government has slipped into a police state over the last four or five decades.  It will only get worse unless we stop the slide.

 

Chicago’s Hudson Murder Trial Exposes African-American Culture of Crime

Chicago, IL—The courtroom of Judge Charles Burns is the scene of a real eye-opener for America.  Although cameras are still barred from Illinois courts there is enough information being printed, broadcasted and published on the Internet to get some needed attention.

The story begins and ends with Jennifer Hudson who was brought up in the incredibly violent Chicago sewer called Englewood.  Our creator gave Jennifer a great voice and the discipline to harness it for a fairytale career far from the sub-human ghetto that spawned her.   That gift may well have saved Jennifer’s life. 

This is about one society failure after another.  It began with Social experimentation by government officials with perhaps nefarious political agendas.  They wanted to give the recently migrated African-Americans a place to settle and live in the Windy City.  What they gave them is deceit, despair and doom.

Many people supported the idea of providing generous entitlements, guessing they  would provide these ignorant, poor and deprived people a way to live the American dream. The supporters of this idea had no clue what monsters were being manufactured.

Along the way the African-Americans being “helped” were robbed of any self-reliance, hope and dignity.   The entitlements simply became a narcotic.  Their public education system was reduced to child day care where teachers were forbidden to demand excellence or explain that wealth comes with scholastic achievement.  

Teachers were simply encouraged not to challenge criminal behavior or their pathetic destruction of our English language into Ebonics.  The school system went on to produce generation after generation of illiterate and unemployable parasites.

More social tinkering came with the War on Drugs.  Since many young people died of drug overdoses our politicians have responded with the Drug War.  The deaths and injuries associated with drug commerce activities made the overdose problem insignificant.  We are taking many more lives with the Drug War and many of those killed are innocent victims not involved with drugs or the trade. 

In Englewood nearly the entire community is receiving entitlements that are supplemented by theft, drug commerce, prostitution and gambling.   Englewood is a Socialist Utopia where few actually contribute anything positive to society.

Jennifer Hudson’s mother, Darnell Donnelson raised three children as a single mother.   Thankfully this matriarch took Jennifer to church where she learned to sing. 

Jennifer, Julia Hudson and Jason Hudson were brought up on fatty, starchy diets making them fat and health challenged.  Jennifer later had the advantage of wealth, trainers and Weight Watchers keeping her attractive for her fans.

Brother Jason was quickly embedded with the notorious Gangster Disciples.  He sold crack cocaine rocks while protecting his drugs and receipts with a stolen SIG 220  .45 ACP, semi-automatic pistol.  Jason was twice wounded and was crippled by gunfire in the line of duty as a gangbanger. 

Julia went from periods of unemployment to driving a school bus.  Along the way she had a child, Julian King who was being groomed for his coming out with the Gangster Disciples.

Unlike Jennifer Julia had zero discipline, no discovered talent and she has all the appearance of a fat bovine.  The men she could attract were far from desirable and those that associated with her were star struck be her sister Jennifer.  That was not good.

Among the B list gang bangers Julia dated and then married was carjacking ex-convict William Balfour.  He was a monster that should have never been let out of prison.  Balfour courted and married Julia while he reportedly abused her.  It’s believed that Balfour twice stole Jason’s pistol from him ultimately using it for the triple murder and that’s why he’s now facing a criminal court jury.

The death penalty has been eliminated or Balfour would be rapidly on his way to Death Row.  Balfour may be a nasty criminal but everyone including this accused killer in the Englewood Community are victims of Socialism gone wrong. 

The African-American culture of entitlement, drugs, crime and ignorance must end.  Tolerance for skin color and peaceful religion does not mean we have to accept a bankrupt Socialist created mutant culture.

Accepting and tolerating this twisted and violent culture is simply the worst kind of genocide.  The Ku Klux Klan could never have inflicted the kind of death, destruction and misery our social engineers have inflicted on Chicago’s African-Americans. 

From My Dead Cold Hands! I don’t think so.

Washington, DC—We’ve all heard that rallying cry about gun rights. What would happen if federal, state or local government agencies came to our doors demanding entry for gun confiscation purposes? 

History is the teacher here, and it tells us universally that people won’t put up a fight. They will simply capitulate under threat of physical force or arrest.

The keeping and bearing of arms in constitutionally protected activity but those are mere words on paper that are routinely ignored at every level of government. People are usually too intimidated to initiate resistance. They won’t fight for their neighbors being unlawfully disarmed and they certainly won’t fight for themselves.

The most recent example of gun confiscation tyranny was in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans and surrounding communities. Incredibly California supplied their highway patrol officers to Louisiana officials for the express purpose of kicking down doors and confiscating guns without warrants. They looted thousands of guns from law-abiding people.

Instead of people resisting they instead turned over their valuable firearms to never see them again. They complained to deaf ears but not a single public official was penalized for this outrage.

In addition to the massive government tyranny those victimized were left defenseless at a time where roving gangs of violent looters were taking advantage of this disaster.

I visit a lot of gun shows and gun shops all over the nation and the braggarts that use the phrase, “From my dead cold hands!” are everywhere. I’m not suggesting that a tiny percentage of gun owners would not resist, it’s just not the experience.

I have advice for gun owners. Keep a low profile and don’t keep your firearms all one place. Most Americans are not equipped to put up a fight anyway. Government agents will always be well armed and freely use and abuse gas and explosives to make entry to homes. They will kill you and your family if you resist.

I expect that terrible day is coming and few Americans have a plan. Cell phones and the Internet will be shut down reducing any ability to summon help to overcome the resistance. Maybe it’s time to develop a plan for resistance and the common defense.
