  • Yes, they are paid to protest

    I went to the trouble of doing some digging on Thursday evening, because I am fed up to the gills with the fear mongering and other crap rhetoric going on, and that includes the crap coming from the Democrats and the Republicans, both.

    The Democrats seem to think they have the upper hand. They are gloating about the seeming backlash over what Pres. Trump did/did not say about what happened at Charlotte, NC. Elsewhere, I’m finding articles written for publications that I would never otherwise read, all of which clearly dislike Pres. Trump because HILLARY didn’t win!

    Plainly, taking a step back is in order here. It’s getting a bit thick and we need to air the room out. I like to get to the bottom of things… you know: the heart of the matter. The source of the issue. The fount of the mess created by loud noisy crowds, ignorant responses, and rhetoric and noise coming from people who enjoy seeing others panic… all of which lies in the lap of the media.

    So I did what I usually do, dig for backup for what I have to say and here it is.

    The Charlotte, NC, riots – they have no other name – were generated by what seemed to be two extremist groups, but in reality consists of only one extremist group , the KKK/neo-Nazis, facing a group of paid actors and troublemakers and people with cameras to record it.  They were hired to do this. Now, how do I know this?

    Well, I took the trouble of looking for stuff that people were suggesting might be the root cause of the violence, that is, people who were hired to engage in violent and destructive behavior, and guess what I found?  Yeah, that’s right: they were hired to do it.  A company named Crowds on Demand placed an ad on Craigslist before the Charlotte, NC, protest, offering $25/hour to actors and photographers to go there and participate in a ‘peaceful’ protest. https://charlotte.craigslist.org/tfr/d/actors-and-photographers/6253305119.htm

    I saved a screen shot of the ad because it shows the ad’s content. The company is based in Los Angeles. When Infowars tried to contact them about it, they took the ad down, but it reappeared shortly afterwards. I saved the screenshot in case the ad disappears again. Anyone interested enough can go searching for it.

    I don’t normally go to Infowars for anything, but I saw a link to the story about this ad online and followed it. Here it is:  https://www.infowars.com/why-was-this-crowd-hire-company-recruiting-25-an-hour-political-activists-in-charlotte-last-week/

    Poetrooper said that Trump is losing the military. I found two stories online with that headline, suggesting that there is mutiny of some sort within the structure of the Department of Defense, when in fact, there is no such thing.

    https://www.aol.com/article/news/2017/08/16/us-military-leaders-are-distancing-themselves-from-trumps-charlottesville-rhetoric/23079036/

    AOL’s article simply repeats what the 82nd Airborne Division said about the man in the 82nd Airborne cap and added the statement that the Pentagon is removing itself from Trump’s influence with no backup provided to support that declaration.. It is an opinionated, incorrect statement, with no basis for its existence. Likewise, Nguyen’s article in Vanity Fair, a magazine that used to be, and still is, not much more than a gossip column with slick ads, takes the stance that her opinion is more valuable than real research. There is no real substance to what she says.  https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2017/08/donald-trump-military-white-supremacism-response

    Nowhere did I see anything indicating that CNO Richardson, or anyone else, did anything but make appropriate statements. https://twitter.com/CNORichardson/status/896529683508015104

    That includes Neller (USMC)  https://twitter.com/GenRobertNeller/status/897591648007446529

    and Miley (Army) https://twitter.com/armychiefstaff/status/897742317897093121

    If you read those Twitter links, tell me where, in any of them, there is an indication that these senior officers said anything inappropriate or disrespectful of the President.  Where? Where do they say they disagree with Pres. Trump’s responses to the media’s questions? Poe, could you stop being such a gloomy old stick?

    The only hatred and divisiveness I can find being stirred up lies at the feet of the media in toto. If they hate Donald Trump, so be it. They have the right to detest him with every fibre of their useless beings. They also have the right to speak freely about how much they hate him. They do not, however, have the right to destroy this country by lying their asses off about him.

    As Jonn and several of us have said before, the remedy for false speech is truth.

    The truth is that these protests since the election results were announced have been generated by people who are paid to do that. Remember that ‘someone has to die’ statement from last year?

    If anyone wants to investigate Crowds on Demand, go right ahead. Have a good time. I have saved a screen shot of the ad. I think it bears looking into. After all, there will likely be another protest of some kind by the leftie KKKers before long. Someone will alert them.  Chartered buses have to be booked in advance. That costs money as do the paid participants. That’s what should be looked at. None of those post-election protests were spontaneous. Not. One. Damned. Protest.  If this is not subversion of this country, then what is it?

    This is America, my country. Love it, or take your sorry ass some place else.

    Doxed

    Yesterday, I told the story about how someone had mistaken me for a filthy Nazi in Charlottesville. Luckily, someone spotted the perp spreading her lies and sent me a screen shot;

    So she has seen the error of her ways as some of my allies explained it to her, but it turns out that her source was our old friend, Ric Bucklew, the phony Navy SEAL. He’s been trying unsuccessfully to sue me in West Virginia so he can be a Navy SEAL again. He can count on the judge reading these the next time we go to court;

    Some of his friends might find themselves at his table, too;

    As I’ve said, I’m not a Nazi, I have no sympathy for their cause, I wasn’t in Charlottesville. I’m not a racist and I have more than 74,000 posts on this blog to prove that I don’t have a hateful bone in my body.

    I don’t like liars, and Ric Bucklew is a liar – he can’t beat me in court, so he thinks he can destroy me on the internet. That’s cute.

  • Why I hate the internet

    Why I hate the internet

    Someone sent me this picture yesterday of some guy in an 82d Airborne hat giving a Nazi salute. I guess it was taken in Charlottesville the other day. I suppose that the person who sent it mentioned that they had sent it to me because a bunch of illiterate morons have been calling me and leaving messages that I should be ashamed of myself for giving a Nazi salute.

    Um, I wasn’t in Charlottesville on Sunday, the guy is standing erect (I need a wheelchair to get around) and, most importantly, I’m not a Nazi. My wife makes me shave every four days. So clearly, the bozo in photo isn’t me.

    Last week, I was accused of lying about my military service because I posted a phony in a Facebook group and the person thought that the post was about me.

    My point is that some folks out there are half-assing their “investigations” and a lot of people are losing what is left of their pea-sized minds trying to make the wrong people pay for things they didn’t do. Pay attention to what you’re doing when you start doxxing people on the internet.

  • Charlottesville protest

    Two groups of morons met in Charlottesville, Virginia yesterday. One called their march “Unite the Right”, however, they used the most divisive language possible, not really uniting anyone, except morons. The other group were the “antifa”, anti-fascists who aren’t really sure what is fascism but they know they don’t like it. The Unite the Right folks carried tiki torches and some carried long guns.

    One fellow, James Alex Fields Jr, a 20-year-old from Ohio, decided to drive his car into the crowd of anti-fascists, killing one 32-year-old woman and injuring nineteen others.

    Heavy says that he was in the Army for a few months;

    A James Alex Fields of the same age was briefly on active duty status with the Army, but only from August 18, 2015 to December 11, 2015. It’s not clear at this time if it’s the same Fields. However, with the name of his mother confirmed by a report in the Toledo Blade, it appears this likely is Fields’ military record.

    Without more information on him, I can’t confirm or deny this. I could only find a partial birthdate of April, 1997, otherwise I’d check the SCRA website we talked about yesterday. The media is helpfully pointing out that Fields is a registered Republican – millions of Army veterans who are registered Republicans didn’t run over anyone with their cars yesterday.

    By the way, there is no Army training related to driving over people with a car.

    Unfortunately two state troopers were also killed in a helicopter crash while they were monitoring the antics of the two groups.

    I guess the Unite the Right people were protesting the planned destruction of a Confederate Memorial, and the Leftist were protesting what they always protest – anything.

    Just to be clear, no matter what the purpose of the march, or the motivations of Fields, no one deserved to die in Charlottesville, Thomas Jefferson’s hometown.

    Added 8/14/17; From Fox News;

    “He was, however, released from active duty due to a failure to meet training standards in December of 2015,” Army Lt. Col. LTC Paul Haverstick, a Pentagon spokesman, said. “As a result he was never awarded a military occupational skill nor was he assigned to a unit outside of basic training.”

    And from DoD;

  • “No cops” sign causes hoopla

    “No cops” sign causes hoopla

    A number of people have sent us links about the sign on the front of the EAV Barbell Club in Atlanta.

    The owner says that he’s had a long time standing policy against cops and active duty military members in his club. From 11Alive;

    “We’ve had an explicitly stated ‘No Cop’ policy since we opened, and we also don’t open membership to active members of the military,” he said.

    For Chambers, a lifelong political activist, the sign and policy is a political statement outside a multi-use space which serves as a gym, community gathering spot and meeting place for activists in the metro area.

    He says groups who work out there are generally minorities who are uncomfortable with the presence of law enforcement agents.

    In the video interview at the link, he went on to claim that the police serve capitalism and white supremacy and for that reason he doesn’t want them in his club.

    The Atlanta Police Department would not comment on the policy, but told 11Alive News, “Were we to respond to an emergency there, this sign would not stop us from lawfully doing our job.”

    “If they have a warrant, they can go anywhere they want, but we’re not breaking the law,” Chambers said.

    That’s fine, it’s private property and he can do whatever he wants, but he also has to suffer the consequences of his politics. I wonder what stupid excuse he has for keeping active duty members of the military out of his little shit hole club.

  • Anti-capitalists in Hamburg

    Anti-capitalists in Hamburg

    Mick sends us a link to the UK’s Daily Mail which reports that thousands of spoiled brats have descended upon the G-20 meeting in Hamburg, Germany, firebombing buildings and vehicles, trapping many leaders’ spouses in a hotel while they wait for police to clear the area.

    Burned out cars today bear testimony to the violence ahead of the talks. Police believe as many as 8,000 protesters are ready to commit violence. More than 70 people were injured in last night’s clashes.

    Officers say they repeatedly asked a group of demonstrators to remove their masks and hoods last night, but instead officers were hit with bottles and bricks – breaking the window of a riot van.

    They then decided to separate the group from the rest of the march, which they estimated at 12,000 people in total.

    The violence broke out near the start of the demonstration at a riverside plaza used for Hamburg’s weekly fish market.

    As leaders arrived yesterday, riot police fired water cannon at a group of about a thousand black-clad protesters who hurled bottles in a demonstration organisers had dubbed ‘Welcome to Hell’.

    Some 20,000 police from all of Germany’s 16 states have been deployed on the streets of Hamburg.

    I guess the goal here is to make the entire world into a third world shit-hole.

    All of the grown ups are in Hamburg.

    Among the protesters is New York City’s mayor Bill De Blasio, according to Fox News;

    De Blasio departed Thursday evening and kept his plans to join protest events in Hamburg relatively quiet until he left. He is expected to attend several events surrounding the G-20 summits in the next two days, de Blasio’s press secretary Eric Phillips wrote on Twitter. De Blasio will also be a main speaker at the Saturday demonstration “Hamburg Zeigt Haltung,” or “Hamburg Shows Attitude.”

    DeBlasio had to unass New York on the day that an NYPD officer was assassinated on the street and right before the graduation of hundreds of new NYPD recruits.

    I guess all of the elitist anti-capitalists were called to Hamburg.

  • Fame kills

    According to the New York Times, Monalisa Perez of Halstad, Minn. and her boyfriend, Pedro Ruiz III sought popularity on YouTube with some harmless pranks, until their last one. The pregnant Ms. Perez, at the urging of Pedro fired a .50 caliber Desert Eagle handgun at a thick book he held in front of his chest. The .50 proved it’s reputed power by passing through the book and into Mr Ruiz’ chest, killing him.

    Ms. Perez was arrested and booked into Northwest Regional Corrections Center on suspicion of reckless discharge of a firearm, the sheriff said. Then, on Wednesday morning, prosecutors charged her with second-degree manslaughter. The charge carries a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison, a fine of up to $20,000, or both.

    Ms. Perez, who is pregnant with her second child, appeared in court on Wednesday afternoon for a hearing and was released in the evening after $7,000 bail was posted.

    The department has video recordings of the shooting, the sheriff said, adding that he would not release them.

    I guess no one taught the pair that you shouldn’t point a weapon at anything you don’t intend to kill.

  • Popular Military and witch hunts

    Yesterday, someone posted this on one of our Facebook groups – an opinion piece on Popular Military entitled; Veteran shames autistic teen for stolen valor, ‘witch hunts’ need to end and it’s about how the Stolen Valor investigations need to end.

    As service members and veterans, we are better than that. We should really start doing more research into such matters and quit justifying our own personal miseries in the form of lashing out at every single case of “stolen valor” without doing any sleuthing of our own. Much like videos of police shootings, it is very easy to take something out of context.

    I could have eviscerated a special needs kid today. A lot of my readers would have shared it (many without even reading the article) and this kid’s life would have been more miserable than it might already be- and for what? To engage in a poorly-researched “stolen valor” fury-orgy akin to the behavior of the Social Justice Warriors many of us hold contempt for?

    Yeah, well, Popular Military has been fueling these “witch hunts”. They’ve posted almost every video that they’ve received and they’ve encouraged people to confront the liars and record the confrontation. It has resulted in some occasional violent confrontations. They are hacks of the worst kind. Someone remarked to me yesterday that they are the National Enquirer of stolen valor and I agree.

    So they finally didn’t post one video and they think that they can scold the rest of us. I turn down cases everyday because they don’t reach the standard that you expect from us. I suspect that the only reason Popular Military wrote that piece yesterday was so they could post the video without getting chewed out by the rest of the community – yes, I chew them out in private when they post some of their crap. And yes, they posted the video despite their scolding the rest of us for doing that.

    I went looking for their videos yesterday for examples, but apparently they’ve scrubbed them. I did however find one of my posts from two years ago criticizing them for encouraging the shaming of a Vietnam veteran.

    Anyway, I tried to comment on their post yesterday and my comment suspiciously disappeared. Fortunately, I have another avenue with which to express my opinion and it’s Google-icious.
