Random Stuff and Propaganda

MSN - Judd Apatow: ‘Ghostbusters’ Haters Are Donald Trump Supporters.  So, there is a reboot (remake with slight differences) of the film and cartoon series "Ghostbusters" and all the heroes and main characters are female replacing the original cast that included Dan Akroyd and Bill Murray. Well, some people think it is a bad idea and won't be funny. There are those who believe that it is being done to make a statement rather than be funny. I don't really care why it is being done. Well, the producer of the film is claiming that the people questioning his choice are probably Trump supporters. Wow, take responsibility for your choices and accept the fact that people vote with their dollars and if the film fails it is because it is not good enough. Trump has never held elected office, neither wrote nor passed any of our laws, has no interest in the new Ghostbusters movie and is not responsible for everything that has gone on wrong. The sort of demonization that I see can only be describes as propaganda and that we should study.

Mohammed Ali

I was a big boxing fan and grew up during the Ali period, he dominated the sport for years and changed it. He was a great man and a flawed man; but, one of the greatest in the history of boxing.

The Orlando Mass Murder

I want to begin with two things that have saddened me. First and foremost I want to express my sincere concern over the people who were killed at a gay club in Orlando by a Muslim terrorist. I am disgusted by how the mass media is playing out the story by either blaming Obama (Fox) or blaming Trump (Hillary Clinton). I understand politics and I understand that politicians and the media are opportunists who attempt to push their propaganda whenever something happens. I personally attempt to wait a few days after something like this before I comment out of respect and in order to think rather than react.

Neither Trump nor Obama are responsible for what happened in Orlando. The shooter is responsible. The truth is that non-Muslims have done mass shootings in the United States and there has been bombings in the United States by people who claim to be Christian. Let's face facts, sick people do sick things. Not everyone is allowed to drive a car, you need a license. In fact, after serving their sentence felons are allowed to drive; but, not buy a gun. We do restrict who can own guns. We also restrict which weapons people can own, you cannot own an atomic bomb or a ballistic missile and need special licensing to own explosives like dynamite.

Here is something interesting, Donald Trump said maybe we should think about keeping people on terrorist watch lists from owning guns. Even after that, he was attacked on the left and right, by gun right activists and by anti-gun people. Neither side wants rationality or common sense, they fight for all or nothing and we get more mass shootings. More people have been killed by assault rifles in the last five years than deer.

Back in the Saddle

My apologies for not writing sooner, I moved. I only today found my computer and the many, many plugs and cords needed to turn it on. I shall write something more meaningful tonight. Be well.

Cesar Chavez, Trump and Illegal Immigration.

I remember Cesar Chavez, heck we hold a holiday for him in California. I also remember Edward R. Murrow, the best journalist ever. Decades ago, Mr. Murrow did an investigative report about how Mexicans were treated on the farms in California. The wealthy use illegal immigrants to keep costs down by not paying them what legal Americans get for the same work. Nothing has changed.

Let me ask you a question, why are wealthy Americans paying to fight Trump on illegal immigration, because they care so much about them or because they make so much off of them. Follow the money every time and you will get the answers you seek 99% of the time.

Let's be clear, if I was poor and lived in Mexico, I would find a way to get her. Heck, My great-grandfather came here from Ireland to avoid being killed by the British because he had killed a English soldier and was part of the original Irish Republican Army. Having said that, who in their mind would be promoting more illegal immigration and who would benefit from it? It is because they are illegal immigrants that the people who employ them can pay them less. It is simple math, oh, and the employers don't have to pay Social Security, Workers Compensation or make sure that they have healthcare.

Firstly, I believe in community and nation. God, family and country. I am an American of Irish decent, I am an American first because this country took my family in. Secondly, if it were not for Mexican immigration, we would not have enough people to do our jobs and certainly not enough who we could live with without extreme problems. I don't shy from issues, would you rather have 12 million illegal Mexican immigrants or 12 million illegal Arab Muslim immigrants? Don't shy from the question, say it doesn't matter and let others judge whether you are right or wrong. Look to Brussels of England for your answer. Mexicans don't have their own version of the law, Muslims have Sharia law and enforce it on people in countries that do not and are democratic rather than theistic. They create their own laws within countries without a vote or any agreement.

So, what is the impact if we allow illegal immigrants to stay in this country on them? They will continue to get less than everyone else and not be made citizens, they will not even be second class citizens. Now, what would benefit illegal immigrants, only two things, either they get kicked out or are given the chance to be legal citizens. Trump has said that he will kick them all out and then allow them back in the country if they had not committed crimes. Is that better or worse for illegal immigrants? How come the people who are against Trump over this issue don't just want to give them all citizenship? Not a tough question, they want them here; but, they don't want to give them the same rights as citizens and want to be able to kick them out if they fight the system. That is the money and that is the truth.

Now lets talk about Cesar Chavez again, what would he say? Hmmmm, he wanted everyone that worked on the farms to have the same rights, he wanted all that worked on the farms to be treated fairly and paid fairly. Remember what Kasich wanted for his state that was mainly agricultural, he wanted work visas with no benefits for the illegals, he represents the establishment view of immigrants, cheap labor with no rights. Think about it.

More Media Propaganda Exposed.

Yahoo - Trump moneyman’s shady history.  So the Republican National Committee and the Trump for President organization have joined together for joint fundraising. This is pretty common, when someone gets their party's nomination they work with their parties national committee to coordinate their actions. Joint committee means that Trump and the RNC chose members of the committee, that is sort of what joint means. In fact during a dinner in Los Angeles, Trump said he was glad to be raising funds to help the party keep Hillary from being elected. That is an odd thing to say, isn't it? He is the nominee, why didn't he say he was thrilled to be raising money for his general campaign. Hmmmm.

Well, it turns out that one of the members on that committee is a man from Los Angeles who I have written about many times over the years, Mr. Elliot Broidy. Mr. Broidy sat on the pension boards for the City of Los Angeles and the state of California, he also pled guilty to felony charges over his bribing government officials in New York. In fact, one of the people who he bribed was the Comptroller for the State of New York. As for Mr. Broidy, I am on record for having called for him to be questioned regarding his actions on the pension boards of California and Los Angeles. I have dozens and dozens of posts calling the man a crook and they go back seven years. I am not afraid of either Mr. Broidy or CIM Group suing me because I never post what I cannot back up and always identify my sources and provide links to them. While I suspect both of them of more than I will write about at the moment, I will not make accusations I cannot document. This is the same reason that I will not post accusations that I have received regarding the death of Pastor Carol Daniels, for that my answer remains constant, if you have proof take it to the police not the Pimpernel. If either CIM or Mr. Broidy chose to sue me, I would get answers to my questions to them and they would settle with me out of court in my favor rather than answer them. I have studied them for seven years or so and know exactly who I would drag into depositions. What is the point of all this, I know a lot about Mr. Broidy; but, what I do not know is whether he is working for the RNC or the Vote Trump faction; but, I have an idea. I know that Mr. Broidy has worked fundraisers for Republicans for decades, in fact Mr. Broidy has worked for awhile on the Republican Jewish Coalition.

I bring this up because, well, surprise, the media is intentionally making false innuendos about Trump without backing it up. I want you to do a internet search for "Donald Trump" "Elliot Broidy", you will not find anything linking them in the past and don't forget, Broidy was busted in New York where Trump is big news. In fact, five of the 20 members of the coalition sat on the Republican Jewish Coalition, many of whom worked on those groups during the Bush administration. Here is an article from the Times of Israel - Five Jewish donors on joint GOP-Trump fundraising team. You see, Mr. Broidy has been a big Israel supporter and many of his companies investments were in Israel companies, in fact, he has said that he created one of the funds specifically to promote investment in Israel. The article from the Israeli press says that many American Jews are leery of Trump because he has not given 100% of his support to anything that Israel might do and wants Israel to negotiate with the Palestinians.

Now, here is what is amazing, if you search for Trump and Broidy, you will find dozens and dozens of articles saying that Broidy is Trump's "shady" moneyman. Firstly, Mr. Broidy is not "shady", he is a convicted criminal. Secondly, there is nobody who has written that Trump hired or chose Mr. Broidy or even if Broidy is on the committee representing the RNC or Trump, why not? If Trump and Broidy have a past, why not doesn't the media disclose it, I would. Here is another question, why are there more articles about Broidy working on this joint committee than there were outside of New York when he pled guilty to bribing the New York State Comptroller?

How many people are going to pick up on this fact?  How many reading these articles about "Trump moneyman" are going to know anything about Mr. Broidy's history? How many are going to question the article or look at what it doesn't say, how it uses misdirection to imply things that are misleading? Look, the reality is that nobody cares about this article or the implications, nobody trusts the media when it comes to Trump. There is a thing called overplaying your hand and the media has done it; but, doesn't know what else to do.

Over the last couple of days there has been a lot of talk about how establishment Republicans are considering supporting the Libertarian candidate as a third party candidate so that Trump will not win. LOL. This is the dumbest idea I have read in a long time and lets face it, there have been many dumb ideas by the establishment to stop Trump that have failed miserably. If you are a liberal then you probably always believed Republicans are racists, so why are their "leaders" fighting Trump. Some say the Republicans created Trump; but, were only kidding. The Republican establishment is only concerned with tax breaks for the wealthy, they don't care about Americans, the middle class, illegal immigrants, gays, abortion or anything else, just their pocketbook and that fits in perfectly with the Libertarian PARTY, not the Libertarian philosophy. True middle class and working class Republicans will not vote for the Libertarian Party, not gonna happen. I should also point out that the vast majority of Republicans are more concerned about Hillary winning than believe a vote for a Libertarian Party candidate will stop her. That is just a fact. If you get confused, remember, 6 companies own 90% of all the media and all six are globalists, not American nationalists.

Trade and Education

Huffington Post - Targeting Trade and Trade Pacts for Job Losses Is Counterproductive in Presidential Campaigns.  The Huffington Post is pretty liberal, though, seems to be more behind Hillary than Sanders.  This writer claims that free trade agreements have been good for the United States because the trade deficit is offset by the increase in foreign investment in the United States. I want you to read that again and make sure you understand his argument.

What he has basically argued is that we lose in manufacturing; but, people who own the country are increasing their return by selling the country to foreign interests.  So who paid for the loss of manufacturing? The middle class. And who benefited from the increase in asset sales, the .1%.

So yesterday was Memorial Day, a holiday to honor those who have fought for this country. Today, there were a number of movies about World War II on television. I watched a couple on Turner Classic Movies. I watched "The Cain Mutiny" and "Mr. Roberts". It reminded me of something, the wealthy got drafted during World War II also. By Vietnam, the wealthy were able to keep there kids in college and thereby avoid the draft, they found lots of ways to change the laws so that their kids didn't have to fight and risk their lives.

How many children of the people who run the financial industry are in Iraq, Afghanistan or the military at all? Do you think that globalists send their kids to join the military and fight for this country when they do not believe in nationalism? While much could be said about that, I want to talk about the effect it has. See, during World War II the wealthy fought alongside the poor and middle class, they made friends with people who had less and were risking their lives side by side with them. As a result of that war, America became the wealthiest nation in the world. Wealthy kids today only spend time with the middle or lower class when being served. They do not see themselves as having anything in common with the middle class or lower class because they don't know them on a personal level.

The one place where the young wealthy and middle class are treated almost like equals is in college; but, you are more likely to see people from foreign countries is in the more expensive colleges and you will be less likely to see middle class kids.

I came from a middle class family and my parents poured money into putting me through college. Law School cost them even more and I had to take out school loans. Upon graduating, it took me years to pay off those loans and I did, on time and early. My parents could not have done that today and I would have to had think long and hard before taking on the debt that it would cost today. I probably would have had over $150,000 dollars debt by todays standards. The equivalent of half of the cost of a house in Los Angeles today and I am being very conservative in my numbers. I don't know if I would have taken on that amount of debt.

Here is a question, if middle class and working class cannot afford and are not allowed into state run colleges, then why do we pay for them with our tax dollars? Why are we paying taxes for state run colleges and universities that take foreign students before American students because foreigners pay more?

Here is a thought, why not eliminate all funding for state Universities and use that money to give college vouchers to kids whose parents are middle or working class. Then are taxes will be used to educate our children and they will be free to pick which college to go to without cost being a problem? Isn't that the same logic that is used by the right to promote charter schools and vouchers for private school? It is; but, they will not come out in support of what I just said.

I forgot something, no college vouchers for anyone whose parents make over $300,000 a year, I think their parents don't need the rest of us to help pay for their kids college. Think about it.
