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...

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...

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 ba...

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 u...

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 presum...

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 Hudso n 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 ge...

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 w...

Chicago, IL —Morning drive time is a great spot to be on Chicago’s radio. Big John Howell and Amy Jacobson are talk radio hosts in the Windy City are always looking for thought provoking topics and guests for their show on WIND-AM 560 . They’ve asked me to join them to talk about the sudden death at age 43 of Conservative blogger and frequent Obama critic Andrew Breitbart. They want my take on the possibility of this being murder. Call in with your questions! Tune in Tuesday morning 24 April @ 8:00 A.M Chicago time . If you’re outside the broadcast area you can listen to the shows live stream right here: http://den-a.plr.liquidcompass.net/player/flash/audio_player.php?id=WINDAM&uid=179&mode=live

Los Angeles, CA —The untimely death of Conservative blogger, Andrew Breitbart the night before he claimed to be releasing bombshell evidence that would derail Obama’s reelection campaign is beyond suspicious. I interviewed witness Christopher Lasseter who saw Beritbart cross the street from the Brentwood, step onto a curb and, “drop like a sack of potatoes.” Breitbart collapsed on the sidewalk in front of the Starbucks. Civilians, cops and paramedics treated him at the scene. He was then transported to and pronounced dead at the UCLA Medical Center in nearby Westwood. Lasseter went on to describe Breitbart’s clothing down to his high-end Converse sneakers. Lasseter was not familiar with Breitbart or his background. Lasseter was there walking his dog and became involved with the attempt to follow a 911 operator’s instructions to save the dying man’s life. I asked Lasseter specifically about Breitbart’s skin color and he said it was “bright red.” That bothered me because as...

Let me begin by saying that most Americans don’t have a clue just who George Orwell was or what an Orwellian nightmare means. We have dumbed down to such a state of ignorance that government tyranny is easily facilitated despite our Bill of Rights. Washington, DC —Before the early-1970s most Americans did not have a photo ID. Pictures were not on driver’s licenses. You could board airplanes without ID and you along with your luggage were never searched. You could travel the roads unmolested without those sobriety checkpoints. Cops were never searching bags in city subways. Taxes and bogus fines did not rise to the level of slavery like they do today. There were no photo radar and red light cameras generating millions for private contractors that kick back cash to politicians campaigns. Entrances into government buildings did not have security checkpoints. There were no surveillance cameras and cellphones that kept a total history of every call you ever sent or received. There w...

Los Angeles, CA —The best part of our lives is spent with friends we make along the way. While working on a friend’s film I ran in to an elementary teacher who is also a talented performer. Jack Fry and his pal, Hollywood , were in the film. I have some dear friends in Berlin and one of them is coming to L.A. next week and I thought that I’d create a buzz with a video staring Jack Fry and Hollywood. Some background on these ladies shown above: Andrea Fleckenstein is affectionately called “Strudel” by me. Christine Fleckenstein , her daughter is likewise been named, “Baby Strudel”. Both of these ladies are incredibly fun, elegant and gorgeous. Baby Strudel is not just pretty, but also a well-regarded dentist in Berlin. After Jack and Hollywood appeared in the film they were gracious enough to tell me what they thought of my lady friends and the specter of an impending visit. Jack has a website and tours the nation with his show. With any luck you may be able to c...

Chicago, IL —The murder rate has soared in Chicago as African-Americans rage on each other and White people. In nearly every incident the offenders are Black. There are a few Hispanics killing but White people are rarely a part of the Windy City’s violence other than as victims. This is a deadly public health issue every bit as bad as the plague. Leftist government officials once again tinkered with failed social experiments by dismantling the vertical ghettos like the Cabrini Green and Robert Taylor housing projects. They sent these inhabitants out to the suburbs by the thousands and to all White neighborhoods like Chicago’s Northwest side. Crimes especially murder are exploding everywhere these African-Americans have been placed. The reason for the increase in violence is a simply a flawed culture not some genetic trait. However, it’s the tolerance for the unique African-American culture of ignorance, hate and violence that fuels the crime. It destroys lives of both the pe...

Chicago, IL—Retired Bolingbrook police sergeant Drew Peterson has been kept behind bars with a staggering $20 million bail requirement for nearly four years without a trial or even a future trial date. He’s been convicted of nothing and has been denied any right to a speedy trial. Now we can question if he will ever see a fair trial. Today the Illinois Court of Appeals has made a historic ruling that allows hearsay evidence to be admitted into a criminal trial. That is a troubling sign of where this nation is headed. I can’t help but see this as a step into Germany’s judicial history 1933-1945. Trials in America are becoming nothing less than a sham designed to convict anyone of anything. I don’t care what anyone’s opinion is about Drew Peterson’s guilt or innocence. This decision will affect you or someone you love sooner or later. This is nothing short of frightening. People are ignorant and ignorance is bliss until they or a family member is caught of in our Police State ...

Chicago, IL —As the Windy City residents prepare for a long, hot and violent summer the Chicago Police Departmen t will be unable to keep the peace. Currently as the thermometer goes over 60 degrees African-American neighborhoods become war zones. Wait until summer. The new African-American craze to create flash thug mobs to overwhelm and rob business can’t be stopped by the meager amount of cops patrolling city streets. Each incident will only empower these criminals more until they are stopped dead. Chicagoans need to be trained, armed and ready to fight for their lives because 911 calls won’t bring a meaningful response. The mayor and police administration only knows this too well. There is a greater amount of racial divide in this nation than since the Civil War. That’s been all brought on by, Communists in the Obama Administration and a racist Attorney General. Obama’s minions are itching for a chance to take absolute control of this nation and all of its assets. The ...

Los Angeles, CA --In light of the recent shooting death of Travon Martin a criminal minority of people are demanding an end to the Stand Your Ground laws throughout the nation. For it's only criminals that need their victims unarmed and afraid. Yes, they're learning that criminals can be killed too and that assaulting others now can be a very dangerous endeavor. Only criminals, bullies, their families and friends could support laws that prevent, particularly older, smaller or weaker folks from a meaningful way to defend themselves. If victims don't appear weak or small, groups of thugs will appear and overpower them. It is really very simple rather than risk death or injury, thugs need to learn to keep their filthy hands to themselves. Only then they will find themselves unconcerned with Stand Your Ground laws. We need to bring an absolute end to governments holding crime victims down while criminals rape rob and murder them. What could possibly be so objectionable...

St. Louis, MO. —This week some 60,000 NRA members will descend on this metropolis for the Annual Convention and Exhibit. The membership of the NRA loathes the Obama Administration for their non-stop liberty grabbing exploits. I’m convinced that ACORN and members of the SEIU may try and invent a crisis intended to discredit the NRA. St. Louis has an Obama loving African-American population that may show hostility to the convention visitors. Many are full of hate and misinformation on the apparent justifiable shooting of the young gangster Trayvon Martin by George Zimmerman . Emotions are running high and this year I expect to see African-Americans wearing hoodies as they try and provoke trouble. There is at least one anti-NRA rally planed by African-Americans for Saturday at 1 PM that is surrounding the issue of Trayvon Martin. I caution convention visitors to avoid problem neighborhoods and conflicts. I also caution anyone that may want to victimize NRA members that they ...

Chicago, IL —Let me fist say skin color or religion never has influenced my interaction with my fellow human beings. I harbor no bias or malice against anyone because of being born with a different appearance than my own. Having said that I have a severe dislike for the so-called “African-American” bankrupt and violent culture. Genocide is an ugly word along with holocaust. The Leftist social engineers of our society have programmed a huge segment of the African-American population for extermination through politically correct demands of unequivocal and forced tolerance for a depraved and sickly culture. African-Americans have been programmed by the Socialists to be needy, dependent and hateful. This segment of the population has been groomed for disaster. They have been encouraged to demand equality in the job market despite meeting educational and necessary job skills. If they don’t have something they want such as a pair over-priced sneakers or an IPhone they take it with f...

Hollywood, CA —As I prepare to both act and crew in an independent film things are quickly changing in terms of power. The current system is awash in criminal racketeering, restraint of trade and anti-trust activities. There are about five talent agencies that currently determine what films will be made and who will act in them. Actors hire agents to represent them and get them work. However, the agents have somehow reversed this to them hiring the actors. The talent agencies tell the studios what films they can make and just who will act, direct, shoot or write. Massive amounts of money are gathered in what’s considered risky investments to make films. The talent agencies seem to control the cash flow. More importantly they control the movie theater owners and just what films will hit the big screen. The Agencies had the ability to intimidate, bully and control the screen owners and exactly what films will see the light of day. However this system is changing at the talent age...

Chicago, IL —As a child of the 1950’s I can tell you about seeing a first run motion picture at a great theater. People watched the newspapers for word of a new blockbuster coming to the silver screen. The planned a special date that might include a dinner out. Chicago’s downtown theaters were spectacular, the popping sound and smell of fresh popped popcorn filled the air. There was plush carpeting, comfortable seats and a huge screen with huge curtains that opened and closed. Pretty, well-dressed young women occupied the ticket windows. Young men wearing formal suits with red jackets were the ushers. The ushers had small brooms and shinny brass dustpans. They ran around looking for any fallen popcorn and swept it up instantly. They were constantly moving those red velvet ropes to usher people into the theater in an orderly fashion. The moviegoers were always dressed to the nines. They were well behaved, friendly and always smiling. Everyone at the theater had a grand experie...

Chicago, IL —As the summer approaches predators can be counted upon to roam the streets looking for victims. You must constantly be aware of your surroundings and prepared for the eventuality of an attack. The Chicago Police Department can barely answer their telephones, and respond to those calls at an ever, slower rate. The department in exceptionally undermanned outgunned and demoralized. The Illinois Department of Corrections has been releasing criminals at a record rate due to funding issues. The U.S. Supreme Court has made it clear in McDonald vs. City of Chicago the keeping and bearing of arms is a right of the law abiding. The politicians here have chosen to disarm citizens with laws that are both un-Constitutional and immoral. Forcing citizens to fend for themselves and to remain unarmed in a violent and dangerous city is both bad public policy and incredibly unreasonable. Be sure to have a safe and reliable handgun and the training to use it while outside of your home...
