California to Grants Pass, Oregon, on a</span></i></b></p><p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><b><i><span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;"> mission for my father. I did
not accomplish what was hoped for,</span></i></b></p><p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><b><i><span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;"> but I did resolve matters. I first
debated driving the distance of</span></i></b></p><p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><b><i><span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;"> about 800 miles of mostly boring,

perfect for the trip except for Coastal</span></i></b></p><p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><b><i><span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;"> Low Clouds and Fog, I elected

meant two SHORT hops and one</span></i></b></p><p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><b><i><span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;"> longer one was needed. I opted for

One who can WORK by the sweat of his brow. If you can create, make, produce and be a productive individual you are surely privileged!</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #2d3436; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, Ubuntu, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.3125; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #2d3436; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, Ubuntu, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.3125; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #2d3436; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, Ubuntu, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">Ancient peoples, and some modern ones too, especially those with ties to agriculture KNEW what real privilege was and is. Springtime was a time of starvation. Lots of pretty flowers, but little food. Fall, on the other hand, is when the harvest came in and food was plentiful. The work of the summer was behind and larders, basements and pantries were stocked for another season.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #2d3436; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, Ubuntu, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.3125; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #2d3436; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, Ubuntu, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.3125; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #2d3436; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, Ubuntu, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">Such people had regular festivals with plenty of food and drink, and family, friends and neighbors who gathered together to have a “festival!”</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #2d3436; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, Ubuntu, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.3125; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #2d3436; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, Ubuntu, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.3125; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #2d3436; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, Ubuntu, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">The story of the Pilgrims and the Indians is typical. We celebrate a combination of things when we gather for thanksgiving. It is natural for people to pay homage to God for the plenty and it is natural for people to gather and celebrate. The Germans have their Oktoberfest, other lands the same, though they are named differently. The gathering of rice, wheat, rye and millet was always a big deal in the lives of many such peoples.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #2d3436; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, Ubuntu, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.3125; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #2d3436; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, Ubuntu, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.3125; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #2d3436; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, Ubuntu, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">In the recent modern vein, certain communists and “wokie-dopies” spread the vicious rumor that such festivals are “exploitative.” Nonsense. But those who spread lies like that are the “exploitative” ones and they need to go back in their “closets.” They will never be happy with anything THEY have, and think they are entitled to everything YOU have. If they believe their system is so good, let them go to Cuba, Venezuela or Zimbabwe for a real education!</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #2d3436; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, Ubuntu, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.3125; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #2d3436; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, Ubuntu, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.3125; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #2d3436; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, Ubuntu, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">If these people ever get “full control” of you and me they will turn everything into a hell hole…..</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #2d3436; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, Ubuntu, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.3125; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #2d3436; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, Ubuntu, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.3125; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #2d3436; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, Ubuntu, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">Be thankful for what you can produce. Be thankful for family and friends, for business and work in general. Be happy for HEALTH, because that is the best blessing of all. Money cannot buy it. It is not how MUCH you have that matters, but rather WHAT you do with what you HAVE!</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #2d3436; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, Ubuntu, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif;

text-align: start;">Western writer Louis L' Amour perhaps put it best in one of his short stories. He said that in the course of a man's life "he does many things!" Indeed!</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #2d3436; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, Ubuntu, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; line-height: 1.3125; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; text-align: start;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #2d3436; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, Ubuntu, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; line-height: 1.3125; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; text-align: start;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #2d3436; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, Ubuntu, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; text-align: start;">On the first of November 2022, I received probably the best birthday present that any writer can ask for. To have articles placed in print in an International Magazine is nice, to have books published is also nice, but to have a major publisher of politically incorrect books actually CARRY it and promote it, is a whole new level of accomplishment.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #2d3436; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, Ubuntu, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; line-height: 1.3125; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; text-align: start;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #2d3436; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, Ubuntu, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; line-height: 1.3125; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; text-align: start;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #2d3436; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, Ubuntu, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; text-align: start;">It is a natural fit. For years, I have written some interesting articles for The Barnes Review History Magazine, they did the technical work to place AN IMMIGRANT REMEMBERS in print, so it is natural their bookstore on line will now carry the title.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #2d3436; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, Ubuntu, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; line-height: 1.3125; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; text-align: start;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #2d3436; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, Ubuntu, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; line-height: 1.3125; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; text-align: start;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #2d3436; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, Ubuntu, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; text-align: start;">My thanks to them and to Paul Angel, my editor, for all his help and assistance!

<p class="Standard"><o:p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></o:p></p>
<p class="Standard"><span style="font-size: large;">The reason is that NOT ALL people have the same level of
intellect.</span></p>
<p class="Standard"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="Standard"><span style="font-size: large;">Intellect is inherited through genetics and is the greatest
blessing. Those who like to tell you that everyone is “equal” or are the “same”
are simply telling a big lie. Each of us has DIFFERENT abilities.</span></p>
<p class="Standard"><o:p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></o:p></p>
<p class="Standard"><span style="font-size: large;">Those who do not have a great deal of intellect are grossly
short-changed. Some of them CAN be TAUGHT, but they have to WANT to be
taught.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Others easily fall prey to
propaganda.</span></p>
<p class="Standard"><o:p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></o:p></p>
<p class="Standard"><span style="font-size: large;">Consider some examples……</span></p>
<p class="Standard"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="Standard"><span style="font-size: large;">1) A person who grew up in a military family can seldom
understand the attitude of those who did not. Many of those who missed the military
experience simply do not understand the concept of “self-defense,” and why
anyone who would take that natural right away from them is suspect! My own
family went through that experience in wartime Norway. Too few Americans can
relate to it. Or want to relate to it!</span></p>
<p class="Standard"><o:p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></o:p></p>
<p class="Standard"><span style="font-size: large;">2) People who grew up unvaccinated, will never be understood
by those who think that getting a poisoned needle in their arm is great health
procedure. Those who subscribe to the vax scam cannot understand why the
un-vaxed are better off. It NEVER occurs to them to question WHY! They simply
lack basic reasoning power!</span></p>
<p class="Standard"><o:p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></o:p></p>
<p class="Standard"><span style="font-size: large;">3) People who never read books resent those who do read.
“Books are boring!” They just cannot process the concept that books are simply
a library of knowledge developed over time that is available to ANYONE who
WANTS to know and learn! These same people often will not recognize effort
others make to write books and articles. Indeed, many of them make fun of
authors. Yet they, themselves, could not write a serious piece if their lives
depended on it!</span></p>
<p class="Standard"><o:p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></o:p></p>
<p class="Standard"><span style="font-size: large;">4) Respect is something that has to be taught. Those who
respect neither themselves nor others are at a serious disadvantage. They think
“they are just as good as you.” The reality may be vastly different!</span></p>
<p class="Standard"><o:p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></o:p></p>
<p class="Standard"><span style="font-size: large;">5) People who grew up in the country or on a farm or in some
agricultural enterprise, will always be miles ahead of those who were denied
the experience and will never understand the role that AG plays in the
production of food and shelter! They lack the ability to understand CREATIVITY
and PRODUCTION.</span></p>
<p class="Standard"><o:p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></o:p></p>
<p class="Standard"><span style="font-size: large;">6) Unintelligent people ALWAYS look for a leader they can
FOLLOW, instead of BEING a leader! It is much easier to follow ideology, no
matter how crazy it might be, than it is to make the effort to create your own
ideology.</span></p>
<p class="Standard"><o:p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></o:p></p>
<p class="Standard"><span style="font-size: large;">7) People pray to God for deliverance, and yet won’t help God
in his effort by putting their own "shoulder to the wheel!" They are “mentally
lazy!”</span></p>
<p class="Standard"><o:p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></o:p></p>
<p class="Standard"><span style="font-size: large;">8) Great civilizations were built by men who sacrificed
intentionally, in order to forge great improvements. The “simpleton” just
wrecks what he cannot create, because he lacks the intelligence, is ungrateful
and because he is inherently jealous of those who can and do create!</span></p>
<p class="Standard"><o:p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></o:p></p>
<p class="Standard"><span style="font-size: large;">9) Those who think that “electing” leaders is always a solution to a
country’s woes, are likely to be very disappointed. A REPUBLIC may have been
created in the beginning, but electing <br />
“leaders” who enrich themselves at public expense is the end result, and will
only lead to breakdown of society and chaos.</span></p>
<p class="Standard"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="Standard"><span style="font-size: large;">10) Those that refuse to read history and realize that the
same “devils” who have always been the destroyers of society will always be
around, and they can be found in every declining civilization actively pursuing
their devilment. Their methods are always the samem but most cannot see what is happening in front of their eyes! Our civilization is no different from any of the earlier ones!</span></p>

It was a "circus." The judge was fair, but nevertheless adhered to the "tricky ways" in which the "fine system" is set up. If you do not understand the way that works, you would be decieved! At the time of this court session, they currently require "masks" in the courtroom. I refused. I had to make a MOTION, to be reviewed by the judge, in order to wear a SHIELD instead. Interestingly, the prosecutor wore a shield, too!</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">There were NINE court employees to handle FIVE misdemeanor traffic citation cases. They took in over $400 in "fines" during the nearly three hour session. Most who were found "guilty," screwed themselves, thinking they would get a "lesser fine" by trivializing their circumstances. Several had good cases for a "not guilty" verdict, but "blew it" by "admitting" things they need not have. Several were very intimidated. The one case where the judge found for the defendant (not guilty) was made because the defendant was articulate, and the prosecution had some confusion regarding the "facts." The cop was totally useless. The defendant made no effort to assist the prosecution nor the cop. Both were hard to hear, as neither knew how to use a microphone efficiently. The defendant refused to admit guilt and maintained that position throughout the session. The "burden of proof," after all, is always upon the prosecution. </span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span>In my own experience </span>as a reporter, I have covered many a story involving cops. In some cases, cops were treated very unfairly by the press for political reasons. In others, the cops made huge mistakes, accidentally or on purpose. The Rodney King affair is a prime example. A lady (California) CHP officer was beaten by King during a traffic stop. She called for backup, and when the male officers arrived and saw her being flailed, they attacked King. Guess which part of the video ended up "edited out" on the nightly news! King was no angel; he had a rap sheet! Of course, the officers actions were wrong. They lost their cool. But King became a media "hero!" He sued and collected a huge settlement that in reality he was not entitled to!</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">I was stopped for a "rear brake light out" by an ISP officer some ten or more years ago. He was an Idaho cop who is still mocked behind his back, and not well liked for his draconian ways on the job. I ended up making a complaint against him. He was the perfect idiot. He asked me to place my GEAR SHIFT TRUCK into the PARK POSITION! That same idiot is now working with the transportation depatment in the same state hassling truckers! Stupidity pays well in the beaureau-crazy!</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">More than ten years ago, an "investigator" for the local sheriff stopped and hassled me on the hiway, accusing me of stalking a woman I did not know. The make and model of the truck and the description of the perpetrator was all wet, but that did not stop him from pressuring me. It annoyed me enough to the point I went to the sheriff's office to make a complaint, and was CONFRONTED BY THE SAME CLOWN again! Apparently, he thought it was "okay" to invistigate his OWN complaint. So, I sent the sheriff a letter he could not refuse and ended up having a pleasant conversation with the Under-sheriff. The result was I got a letter of appology from the officer who admitted to pressuring me! That guy no long works for the department, but runs a brewery instead. Better for all of us!</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">The Under-sheriff was a former Los Angeles supervising officer who worked in the Department of Internal Affairs. This is the police department's internal investigation department which handles "officer misconduct." He told me he "had seen the rot." We discussed that and he also told me he could not know what his officers were doing "in the field," if he was not told! Hence, he appreciate my "intelligent" letter, something he said he seldom got! We also discussed a matter we were both familiar with, involving over 3,000 cases thrown out of court in LA because the officer LIED under oath and fabricated "evidence." A sharp attorney nailed him. The Under-sheriff also gave his opinion that cops often come from the lowest 20% of the intelligence heap. They also come from the lowest 20% on the economic ladder. I think he was right. Don't expect "brilliance" from these people!<br /></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">A teacher I know who retired locally, used to live and teach in Colorado. She told me that of all the "problems boys" she dealt with in her school classes, many often became "deputies!" She was quite distressed to realize she had helped "educate" such people. It gave her a bad feeling about to what degree these boys might "help" others!</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">When I was a witness some time back in a matter not involving me personally, I met with an Idaho attorney. He was not very fond of cops in general. he said that cops MAKE MORE MISTAKES THAN ANYONE. I have to agree that my experience mirrors his It is a shame, really. When I was growing up, cops were RESPECTED and actually HELPED people. Not so much anymore. They have become way too political, miltary and killing-oriented towards civilians.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Recently, a Boundary County Idaho chiropractor, Dr. Daniel Moore, was hassled by a local police department, not allowed an attorney, and coerced into making some kind of a questionable "confession." He was arrested for Second Degree Murder. But First District Judge Barbara Buchanan threw out the charges because of police misconduct. That matter is now before the Idaho State Supreme Count, appealed by the authorities. Locals often appeal such cases because there is "money" in it. It remains to be seen what the outcome will be.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">In the State of Idaho, a driver needs to know and understand that SPEED LIMIT is absolute. There is NO LEEWAY! Never! There are no GREY AREAS. Sometimes, a cop using good judgment, may decide NOT to issue a ticket, but don't count on it! Cops are oppportunists, they act on WHIM as much as anything. The fiction that they are looking out for our "safety" is a crock of garbage. That is just an EXCUSE to stop you. In the final analysis, it is POWER and MONEY that counts. Also, they are looking for advancement opportunities. Having a great "ticket writing record" helps.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">NEVER ADMIT ANYTHING. NEVER. You do not know if you are being videoed or not. Radar is often wrong. The officer is often wrong. The BURDEN OF PROOF is always upon the officer. A man who admits to nothing has a far better chance of winning in court than anything. You may succeed, you may not. If there is a reasonable doubt, and you do not incrimminate yourself, you may win. Always challenge everything in court. Be smart. Arguing with an officer in the field can cause unending problems as officers often loose their cool and can escalate things way beyond reason. That happens way too often!</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Better yet, look upon each drive you take as a "driving school," and make NO mistakes. If you are followed, turn off somewhere and let the rascal pass you! Better if you follow him!</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Also, PRE-FLIGHT your car before taking off. That is a requitrement for pilots who fly airplanes. The reason is to catch mistakes before they become problem areas. Most of the time you will be able to avoid unpleasant "encounters of the alien kind!"</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEj9K5VUBPlgaN3MpTUgVfoQNNKlMMJPfUzbc_Fo5URuitjDqGk8xhoy8fOKwYpfseFEHlCcGAm7dyhIQ-CixJbT9VnSpkaDSm8CG2H9-t3Pnx9Y6p0uf3UaDsJEFeIi02hiO2u3RF17s92V9H1smGfOuNQzjiKuVwcqOGOpd_6xRaqNhqm5I4KiPFyb=s1146" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="831" data-original-width="1146" height="471" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEj9K5VUBPlgaN3MpTUgVfoQNNKlMMJPfUzbc_Fo5URuitjDqGk8xhoy8fOKwYpfseFEHlCcGAm7dyhIQ-CixJbT9VnSpkaDSm8CG2H9-t3Pnx9Y6p0uf3UaDsJEFeIi02hiO2u3RF17s92V9H1smGfOuNQzjiKuVwcqOGOpd_6xRaqNhqm5I4KiPFyb=w650-h471" width="650" /></a></div><br /><span style="color: #999999; font-size: x-large;">Full Moon!</span><p></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #999999; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: xx-large;"><b><i>Written</i></b></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b><i>and Posted</i></b></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b><i>by</i></b></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b><i>Harald Hesstvedt Scharnhorst</i></b></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #999999; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #999999; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #999999; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #999999; font-size: x-large;">* * * * * * *</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #999999; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #999999; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #999999; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #999999; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #999999; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #999999; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #999999; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: xx-large;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: xx-large;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: xx-large;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></p>Hal Scharn Bloghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15886503281671279181noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4834997545945086041.post-53466677529990056662021-11-22T17:00:00.005-08:002021-11-24T14:17:05.386-08:00ON BEING THANKFUL!<p> </p><p style="text-align: center;"><b><i><span style="font-size: x-large;">On Being Thankful!</span></i></b></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b><i><span style="font-size: x-large;">Every people in the World has a Thanksgiving festival of sorts.

<p class="Standard"><span style="font-size: x-large;">There is an advantage to becoming an “old fossil” of eighty.
We have a hell of a long life full of experiences that are, frankly, priceless!
But don’t make the mistake of preaching to 20 year old “plums” about how
“smart” you are! They will place their finger under their nose, kick their head
back and go “Nyyyyaaaa!” They only have five or so years of “experience,” but
they know it all! After all, they went to “caw-ledge” where they learned all
about 57 genders, “ways-ism,” “gas chambers” and all those good things! They
learned about “e-quality” and how it is better to “demand a handout” for a
living than to (shudder) “work for it!”</span></p>
<p class="Standard"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="Standard"><span style="font-size: x-large;">An old farmer I once knew told me he always hired “teeners”
(15-25 years old) while they still knew everything! I also knew another old
farmer who said you cannot teach a “new fossil” OLD TRICKS. When I suggested
you cannot teach an “old fossil,” NEW TRICKS, he smiled and simply said “The
old tricks last, the new ones don’t!”</span></p>

<p class="Standard"><span style="font-size: x-large;">The nice thing about being an “old fossil” is you soon
realize there is NOTHING NEW UNDER THE SUN! Everything that happens on a

<p class="Standard"><span style="font-size: x-large;">When he ran for office, he was the Pendergast Gang lawyer
from Kansas City. “Tom Pendergast is my friend,” he said! He was also a judge.
While Truman was a “Dummocrap,” his “opponent” was a “Republocrap!” His name
was Thomas E Dewey and he was considered the mobster’s man from Tammany Hall,
the New York Syndicate! While people lined up passionately on both sides of the
contest and watched the mudslinging, only the smart ones knew it was a phony
battle between mobsters all for the benefit of “voters” who had no idea who
they were voting for or what the hell was going on!</span></p>

<p class="Standard"><span style="font-size: x-large;">One thing that people tend to forget is that EDUCATION and
LEARNING are NOT the SAME. Knowledge can be earned and learned in many ways. It
can be gained through books that are storage vessels of knowledge. But
sometimes it is best gained through observation and experience. People also
tend to forget that what they think they know is often the product of what they
have heard and what others want them to <span lang="ZH-CN" style="font-family: NSimSun; mso-ascii-font-family: "Liberation Serif"; mso-hansi-font-family: "Liberation Serif";">“</span>know.<span lang="ZH-CN" style="font-family: NSimSun; mso-ascii-font-family: "Liberation Serif"; mso-hansi-font-family: "Liberation Serif";">”</span><span lang="ZH-CN"> </span></span></p>

KNOW that is most important, but rather the things YOU DO NOT KNOW! He who
realizes that and looks to improve his knowledge by STEPPING OUTSIDE THE BOX,
will in the long run be the one who makes new discoveries and is not afraid to
QUESTION EVERYTHING HE THINKS HE KNOWS!</span></p><p class="Standard"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjX16DdwADfrNOqIn2p3wn4SHXKNMH1zAOUTsuD0jRoLbvvZ4Kin0JujQ7qZad9Cxp-zWVcNTQMm3SL9-xNq8JDUmMrxsDaGgUaivilLMZu7RUOHV36V5lBHsBzJfR_TGW474v6uH2Vno/s1129/Composite+4.PNG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="557" data-original-width="1129" height="319" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjX16DdwADfrNOqIn2p3wn4SHXKNMH1zAOUTsuD0jRoLbvvZ4Kin0JujQ7qZad9Cxp-zWVcNTQMm3SL9-xNq8JDUmMrxsDaGgUaivilLMZu7RUOHV36V5lBHsBzJfR_TGW474v6uH2Vno/w647-h319/Composite+4.PNG" width="647" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;">My Mother and I in business, My Cessna Airplane and new car, Plane and Car on Radio Station business, DJ and Newsman in San Diego Radio Market, Sound and music recording for movies, The Monster "mockup" used in the film "The Crater Lake Monster."

It seems he dressed as a "Blackface" a time or two back in the days he was a dorky teenybopper! Today, that is a big NO NO! Although "ex post facto prosecution" is illegal in the United States, that does not keep the "Woke Mob" from having a hernia over "Blackface." In spite of my dislike for the Trudeau family and their insane policies over the years, I still do not like to see anyone falsely accused or maligned.</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5oZ5w4jupcGoq22I6drs9-PjWusx6CP0uDBxkQOSi-o_UfroDmBxRVfTIXrEEodaGQ2YO_nrF7cmPiopvlTcWkydM8kYWsJ74B9-bCGATVlRX2502NwDCLLNK5i0zOlGByRwEa32nxOg/s632/Trudeau+2.PNG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="632" data-original-width="632" height="621" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5oZ5w4jupcGoq22I6drs9-PjWusx6CP0uDBxkQOSi-o_UfroDmBxRVfTIXrEEodaGQ2YO_nrF7cmPiopvlTcWkydM8kYWsJ74B9-bCGATVlRX2502NwDCLLNK5i0zOlGByRwEa32nxOg/w621-h621/Trudeau+2.PNG" width="621" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-size: x-large;">Notice the effort Trudeau went to in order to make the COSTUME detailed and believable!</span><div><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0-WC0b-9bAmw1ABaxZ-BcHu7AR1B9l0k7Zegmssw0ly7xPKVuoquvh49p1CJLVCx6tS6XeSHs5U7RaTtA6SUAgp30p6dqJ1jOM8cWToldmwyTAilgSptD7wXVodS1BnMxyrFrspT0Ujg/s616/Trudeau+1.PNG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="616" data-original-width="612" height="626" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0-WC0b-9bAmw1ABaxZ-BcHu7AR1B9l0k7Zegmssw0ly7xPKVuoquvh49p1CJLVCx6tS6XeSHs5U7RaTtA6SUAgp30p6dqJ1jOM8cWToldmwyTAilgSptD7wXVodS1BnMxyrFrspT0Ujg/w622-h626/Trudeau+1.PNG" width="622" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span><p></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;">Here is another one of Trudeau's "Blackface" pictures. He says he does not remember how many such pictures there are and whether or not they will "surface!"</span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;">So, what WAS "Blackface," anyway? Frankly it was a COSTUME! It was very popular at high school get togethers! I never played the part, but played many other roles in school and even my high school senior year. I played a "woman" once, for instance. My mother stuffed the back of my rump and the front of my chest with PILLOWS to simulate the "other gender," and I cavorted around on stage much to the amusement of everyone. The pillows kept "sagging," of course, and I struggled to "keep them up!" We did not have many OBESE people back then, so there were few who were "offended." Many would dress as clowns, pirates, pilots, Winnie-the-poo, the Tin Man, the Wizard of Oz and a host of others. Some were pretty darn clever. A Negro youth (that is what they were politely called back then) dressed up as a "white man" in "Whiteface!" He used CHALK to paint his face! This lad was a joker of the finest order and he got a richly deserved "barrel of laughs." NOBODY found it "upsetting!"</span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;">But, in today's insane world where everything is upside-down and inside-out for EVIL REASONS, "Blackface" is a horrible "sin!" It is funny to watch supposedly mature adults spout this rubbish! It is helpful to KNOW that in the 1930's there were practically NO BLACK ACTORS. If you wanted a black actor, you got a White or Jewish man to dress up as "Blackface!" AMOS 'N ANDY was an extremely funny, funny radio show about black families and their foibles. The character voices all spoke "plantation English," and sounded just like the real people! The show was a favorite among both blacks and whites. The audio cassettes of ALL the old radio shows can be found on and bought off the internet! Walt Disney Studios was one of the first to combine animation with live actors in SONG OF THE SOUTH. Disney today hardly even acknowledges the great show, but copies can be found for sale on the internet. The show features an almost all black cast of elders and youngsters with beautiful music ( ZIP-E-DA-DOO-DAH for example). The show was a big hit! Uncle Remus was the featured 80 year old black man who told his folk tales to black and white youngsters alike.</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwEyHLF4ltkLO1CILHRq5SmgLeaOFlietHvkna9rRywCkynTVSECB2zB-md049Pg_6AvMfMF8oMXSpBYaIlE5lZeqxT9UTiXw5rK0-Uqk8HPFFvelx0RfInZcnT9KKVBEZbcAaWjhUbIo/s767/Disney+3.PNG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="524" data-original-width="767" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwEyHLF4ltkLO1CILHRq5SmgLeaOFlietHvkna9rRywCkynTVSECB2zB-md049Pg_6AvMfMF8oMXSpBYaIlE5lZeqxT9UTiXw5rK0-Uqk8HPFFvelx0RfInZcnT9KKVBEZbcAaWjhUbIo/w526-h360/Disney+3.PNG" width="526" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMzubAqYXUoTJw0AUo0SqLxUQyaqh9kNbOhNKAIT376DnnEf0_JnCBIbYqq2XAtqBjt-DCHlc1AYKYTV8tT7uydmV7-2YKFuo1N-ENrlgfw9x4wea4FXbFUu0ZqMKPh6n20JG4O68g6bc/s765/Disney+2.PNG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="524" data-original-width="765" height="359" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMzubAqYXUoTJw0AUo0SqLxUQyaqh9kNbOhNKAIT376DnnEf0_JnCBIbYqq2XAtqBjt-DCHlc1AYKYTV8tT7uydmV7-2YKFuo1N-ENrlgfw9x4wea4FXbFUu0ZqMKPh6n20JG4O68g6bc/w524-h359/Disney+2.PNG" width="524" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7zrQYMWtwESiCMRO0MzUnWV2hPEtPQJ35oWYlHI-BB6vKJpKplkVecvQ5WnpfDtZfVgR1gfS_ts9lR_SjpG9KGA6Fvrw7NPSy-iN0zxFAauAMmkPgSQlJtLet-uGVhZGAbaOfAoTBDQo/s763/Disney+4.PNG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="515" data-original-width="763" height="352" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7zrQYMWtwESiCMRO0MzUnWV2hPEtPQJ35oWYlHI-BB6vKJpKplkVecvQ5WnpfDtZfVgR1gfS_ts9lR_SjpG9KGA6Fvrw7NPSy-iN0zxFAauAMmkPgSQlJtLet-uGVhZGAbaOfAoTBDQo/w521-h352/Disney+4.PNG" width="521" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTl6-n0Ux5-T9M1A0-XRXXTnv2ciljZI7gQOpYhiKUK4aprxecplUtvB7_pRtcaU92_k9R-gyDRZmbZ0F3DOWmIbxSPDtzVV85y3bo1as1gATpvwGE39S0eGRkSYwy64kJLIDeHhYhgjI/s762/Disney+1.PNG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="526" data-original-width="762" height="358" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTl6-n0Ux5-T9M1A0-XRXXTnv2ciljZI7gQOpYhiKUK4aprxecplUtvB7_pRtcaU92_k9R-gyDRZmbZ0F3DOWmIbxSPDtzVV85y3bo1as1gATpvwGE39S0eGRkSYwy64kJLIDeHhYhgjI/w518-h358/Disney+1.PNG" width="518" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-size: x-large;">These are screenshots taken from the SONG OF THE SOUTH trailer you can find on the internet!</span><p></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"> The stories were rich in folklore, morals and lessons.

It is easy to prove! In the 1950's, a California State textbook called "MUSIC HORIZONS 5" (for fifth graders) featured all the great American patriotic songs, The Star Spangled Banner, The Marines Hymn, Columbia the Gem of the Ocean, America the Beautiful, music from around the World, cowboy songs from the Old West (one written by students at a New Jersey school, no less!), Civil War Songs and so on. One of them "DIXIE," was featured on pages 186/187. You will notice "Blackface" used in the picture on page 187! These were men dressed up in costume, typical of the day and times! I only have a copy of this rare volume because the state was destroying them at the time to make way for new material. I managed to salvage a copy and it is now a treasured historical book in my research library!</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtGCbDBVFtRFiebZpvjp55JAEVxdWh6Xc3Nl0-MWn_X4ZHxUL3D6Z1ydp7IGfnyXQiXVXhKfdEMfMj6ijSrvd3lwkuPQFJO4JrSjDWN0dcE4re1iTFR42ODbjr-bc1XslXmEkVBg4eyhU/s2048/20210920_130312.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="581" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtGCbDBVFtRFiebZpvjp55JAEVxdWh6Xc3Nl0-MWn_X4ZHxUL3D6Z1ydp7IGfnyXQiXVXhKfdEMfMj6ijSrvd3lwkuPQFJO4JrSjDWN0dcE4re1iTFR42ODbjr-bc1XslXmEkVBg4eyhU/w436-h581/20210920_130312.jpg" width="436" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjks15GsmVk3PfTfXQ-vQ62gyfhyUjAEUu9RobEkobvv_awyhKvD27mrf1o1LvjAXURF2N4vPpysLlkUoTo7IDB0foMtmacu2JAROZzqG8496Vp1Ewb5nqtNcoK6GaGqBjUfPjpt3ebTgs/s2048/20211017_073030.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="580" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjks15GsmVk3PfTfXQ-vQ62gyfhyUjAEUu9RobEkobvv_awyhKvD27mrf1o1LvjAXURF2N4vPpysLlkUoTo7IDB0foMtmacu2JAROZzqG8496Vp1Ewb5nqtNcoK6GaGqBjUfPjpt3ebTgs/w435-h580/20211017_073030.jpg" width="435" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEwdpM0BGP_9i1FQWnjqj1PEnPx_EeEvPiZbk_HgDGP46QlSTBxFGbpFZDwJyTXlQnsxQe0w9W0wEqyc9pHJ1DUulXf5NJP2VViZMUHVEJC8DZRkBGoKT5rKpmfNiTLM5ZRCWLF9qRLw4/s2048/20210920_130409.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1507" height="589" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEwdpM0BGP_9i1FQWnjqj1PEnPx_EeEvPiZbk_HgDGP46QlSTBxFGbpFZDwJyTXlQnsxQe0w9W0wEqyc9pHJ1DUulXf5NJP2VViZMUHVEJC8DZRkBGoKT5rKpmfNiTLM5ZRCWLF9qRLw4/w433-h589/20210920_130409.jpg" width="433" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDGaavlPo2znjget7EjYj_vmt2pXnHs133wHZC-jEp49ECmyJpbcEeGVs36OfZupp132yacAggGLRA9APfIYg7VD5c2E4rQiZvkztp4MsmrpAYeytLmQJzz-9I8IljznNLhAPhQOK5nxI/s2048/20210920_130443.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1491" height="596" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDGaavlPo2znjget7EjYj_vmt2pXnHs133wHZC-jEp49ECmyJpbcEeGVs36OfZupp132yacAggGLRA9APfIYg7VD5c2E4rQiZvkztp4MsmrpAYeytLmQJzz-9I8IljznNLhAPhQOK5nxI/w433-h596/20210920_130443.jpg" width="433" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-size: x-large;">The California State Textbook, Front Cover, the Copyright Page (1950) and the two pages featuring "DIXIE" in typical "Blackface" costume!</span><p></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;">Today, "DIXIE" is a "bad deal," so they tell us. But it is not true! Abraham Lincoln loved the tune and made it FEDERAL PROPERTY just before he was assassinated! The story can by found in Burke Davis' book about the South. I have copied the cover (still in pristine condition) from my research library and the two pages that refer comments Lincoln made about Dixie! Look at the bottom of the first page and follow the rest of the story at the top of the second page. He said that now that we "own the South," we will show them we can "keep their song" and "they can too!" This sort of a story drives the "Woke Crazies" even crazier! Even naïve Lincoln could never have foreseen that more than 150 years later, the "Woke Insane Asylum" would find "DIXIE" a bad deal!</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyJTNNx_FaPyG2i_s8Mk0z6iXAOrPk2XtxOGGetoEQe16WNLO6NoJoDLpZ2UHONT8aTm8dcZGgAJNHjULeRHsKtOo8KBd0HQkJCNV6FAhpfdsmeoFBv0Ycu5aTeFwOvZKJp7qg_1RvOds/s2048/20210920_130524.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="564" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyJTNNx_FaPyG2i_s8Mk0z6iXAOrPk2XtxOGGetoEQe16WNLO6NoJoDLpZ2UHONT8aTm8dcZGgAJNHjULeRHsKtOo8KBd0HQkJCNV6FAhpfdsmeoFBv0Ycu5aTeFwOvZKJp7qg_1RvOds/w423-h564/20210920_130524.jpg" width="423" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidfQ1yjsDg01vPphz68Uhanrdz-xImvt8Ci4I_LYh8xnpAdJ9WcRrYNGxFqqTsTx65C6U90iT-PUbX8jBmPvSZ2n-NZsRTP8xBYi1ZRFfvrFhd0Mh1w9GIysqLbC0V1QI1CPrWCFLAPNA/s2048/20210920_130717.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1661" height="512" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidfQ1yjsDg01vPphz68Uhanrdz-xImvt8Ci4I_LYh8xnpAdJ9WcRrYNGxFqqTsTx65C6U90iT-PUbX8jBmPvSZ2n-NZsRTP8xBYi1ZRFfvrFhd0Mh1w9GIysqLbC0V1QI1CPrWCFLAPNA/w416-h512/20210920_130717.jpg" width="416" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZMHBZbVJMi6FkJJEx-lg7AEiYDrwx_3HaXX2UoLY1G4M5A0iDx23W-nwtkak8lfPpjaGiZ2DJMOGtcQjhtf42mu2pGTEfJEvPaH4OUr0mAELVW4UYYvuyeewCNr_rMSL1HkDIc2QWOX0/s2048/20210920_130741.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1520" height="558" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZMHBZbVJMi6FkJJEx-lg7AEiYDrwx_3HaXX2UoLY1G4M5A0iDx23W-nwtkak8lfPpjaGiZ2DJMOGtcQjhtf42mu2pGTEfJEvPaH4OUr0mAELVW4UYYvuyeewCNr_rMSL1HkDIc2QWOX0/w415-h558/20210920_130741.jpg" width="415" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span><p></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;">Burke Davis' classic book about the South and the two pages describing Lincoln's feelings about the song "DIXIE!"</span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;">So, now that you have learned some truths about "Blackface," you can stop listening to the sadists who try to make political hay out of innocent costuming.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;">Leave "Blackface" alone where it belongs It's COSTUME and to suggest otherwise is a fraud.....</span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Written and Produced</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">by</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Harald Hesstvedt Scharnhorst</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">* * * * * * *</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p></p><p><br /></p></div>Hal Scharn Bloghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15886503281671279181noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4834997545945086041.post-58273790868520314922021-08-03T06:51:00.001-07:002021-08-03T07:03:00.145-07:00FOLLOW THE SCIENCE WITH DOCTOR CORK!<p> </p><p class="Standard" style="text-align: center; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: x-large;"><b><i>FOLLOW
THE SCIENCE </i></b></span></p><p class="Standard" style="text-align: center; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: x-large;"><b><i>WITH DOCTOR CORK!</i></b></span></p>
<p class="Standard" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="Standard" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Doctor
Cork was described by his fellow students in medical school as “a real corker!”</span></p>
<p class="Standard" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="Standard" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">The
reason was simple, he was a true believer in “Science,” and went to great
lengths to prove it. He never practiced medicine, he just got a job promoting
“Science.” and it paid well!</span></p>
<p class="Standard" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="Standard" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">He
came on TV dressed in doctor’s whites, had a stethoscope around his neck and a
turquoise mask. He looked like the genuine thing!</span></p>
<p class="Standard" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><o:p><span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span></o:p></p>
<p class="Standard" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">The
good doctor’s passion was “Global Warming.” He was in favor of anything that
could cut down on the terrible problem that would destroy humanity if not
addressed immediately!</span></p>
<p class="Standard" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="Standard" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">His
idea was not new. Many people before warned about the coming catastrophe, but
Dr. Cork was the first to turn it into a TV masquerade.</span></p>
<p class="Standard" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><o:p><span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span></o:p></p>
<p class="Standard" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">He
proposed that in order to help prevent global warming, corks should be shoved
up the butts of all humans to keep gasses “contained!” When he went on TV with
the scary story of how human gasses were going to ruin the world, at least half
the population went along with his idea. The ones who supported Dr. Cork became
known as CORKERS and those who refused were called ANTI-CORKERS! Because not
enough people were getting “corked in the butt” to suit the good doctor, he
proposed a new law making it mandatory to wear the cork! This created a huge rift between CORKERS and ANTI-CORKERS. He further proposed that huge fines be
levied against ANTI-CORKERS and that they needed to be quarantined UNDERGROUND
in huge tunnels!</span></p>
<p class="Standard" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><o:p><span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span></o:p></p>
<p class="Standard" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">The
cork industry blossomed and Dr. Cork got a cut of the action! Cork growers were
happy to supply the new need. The price of cork jumped and soon it was traded
as a commodity on the commodity exchanges and prices moved up some more!</span></p>
<p class="Standard" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><o:p><span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span></o:p></p>
<p class="Standard" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">There
were some side effects of course, like bloated stomachs, but Dr. Cork assured
everyone that was normal and to take antacids to solve the “inconvenience!”
People bought into the idea. Pretty soon Dr. Corker became a partner in the
antacid business. He was riding high on the wave!</span></p>
<p class="Standard" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><o:p><span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span></o:p></p>
<p class="Standard" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">One
day a Cable Newsman named “Lemon-aide” decided that sticking corks up
everyone’s butts was not enough and proposed that COWS and other stock needed
to be treated the same way to save the world from global warming. Doctor Cork
agreed. He added fuel to the fire by suggesting on TV that farmers were really
just rural ANTI-CORKERS who were anti-American as well, and promoted the idea
that farmers either comply by “corking” their animals or be quarantined! In the
towns and cities, there was mass hysteria. “Get those farmers!” yelled the
stupes. “Make ‘em pay!”</span></p>
<p class="Standard" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><o:p><span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span></o:p></p>
<p class="Standard" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">There
was a small problem.</span></p>
<p class="Standard" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><o:p><span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span></o:p></p>
<p class="Standard" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Just
WHO was going to CORK the animals?!</span></p>
<p class="Standard" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><o:p><span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span></o:p></p>
<p class="Standard" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">One
farmer told reporter Lemon-aide he would refuse to do it.</span></p>
<p class="Standard" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><o:p><span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span></o:p></p>
<p class="Standard" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">“Why,”
the stupid newsman asked.</span></p>
<p class="Standard" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="Standard" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">“Because,
I do not want to be kicked,” replied the farmer. “Cows are smarter than people
and do not like stuff shoved up their ass!”</span></p>
<p class="Standard" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><o:p><span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span></o:p></p>
<p class="Standard" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">To
which the newsman had nothing to say and Dr. Cork changed his tune saying that
COWS were no longer a problem in the global warming thing!</span></p>
<p class="Standard" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><o:p><span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span></o:p></p>
<p class="Standard" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">But
people still ran around with corks shoved up their asses.</span></p>
<p class="Standard" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><o:p><span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span></o:p></p>
<p class="Standard" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">As

The Amish prayed about it, and decided to let the Lord take things into His Hands. They opened up churches and normal living a year ago, now! So what is the result? According to medical people in Pennsylvania, the Amish now have achieved what no one else has, almost 100% HERD IMMUNITY!</b></span></i></p><p style="text-align: center;"><i><span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: x-large;"><b>These people never bought into the mask craze: wearing masks to restrict breathing and which contain bad chemicals hard on the lungs. They also do not play the occult "social distancing" game either, and are not fans of vaccination with substances that are not tested at all and may be more harmful than anything.

</span></b></p>
<p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Recently someone
posted historical pictures from Allied </span></b></p><p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">concentration camps for German
Soldiers after the surrender of</span></b></p><p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">the Third Reich.</span></b></p>
<p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></b></p>
<p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">It drew very heated
debate on GAB as to its accuracy. </span></b></p>
<p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><b><br />
</b></p>
<p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">I accidentally added
to the furor by mentioning James Bacque’s</span></b></p><p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">book <i>Other Losses</i>. I am sorry, but I get too many comments to</span></b></p><p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">reply to them all, so this will have to do!</span></b></p>
<p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></b></p>
<p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Writers responded by
saying that Bacque’s work was first</span></b></p><p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">thought correct, then in a
“second evaluation” it was all wrong!</span></b></p><p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Suddenly, he was a writer
of fiction and not a qualified </span></b></p><p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">researcher and so forth. That was a
“surprise” to me. But was it?</span></b></p><p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Nope. One writer cited B’nai
B'rith as a source for his info!</span></b></p>
<p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></b></p>
<p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Unfortunately,
Jewish Sources are not always reliable. They have</span></b></p><p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">been unreliable
since the days of Christ and before. There are</span></b></p><p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">some exceptions.
Notably, in Professor Norman Finkelstein's </span></b></p><p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">book <i>The Holocaust
Industry</i>, he takes Jews to task for making</span></b></p><p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">money off the
misery of others. He has been slammed for his </span></b></p><p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">stand.</span></b></p>
<p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><b><br />
</b></p>
<p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Throughout history,
Rabbis, other Jews, and even Gentiles have </span></b></p><p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">made it their specialty to decide what is
fact and what isn’t. Any</span></b></p><p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><b><span style="font-size: large;"> criticism, no matter how tame, no matter
the source, no matter </span></b></p><p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">how correct, is always SMEARED. There is never scholarly </span></b></p><p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">debate. Just
ridicule, pretended offense and smear-jobs. Titus of </span></b></p><p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">the Bible in
1:10/11 and 1:14 makes it clear….. “For there are </span></b></p><p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">many unruly and
vain talkers and deceivers, especially those of </span></b></p><p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">the circumcision……
“Whose mouths must be stopped, who </span></b></p><p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">subvert whole houses, teaching
things which they ought not, for </span></b></p><p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">filthy lucre’s sake.” Titus 1:14 "Not giving heed to Jewish fables, </span></b></p><p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">and commandments of men, that turn from the truth."</span></b></p>
<p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><b><br />
</b></p>
<p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">The concept of the
“Synagogue of Satan” is well founded in the </span></b></p><p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Bible as well. In the
Middle Ages, Jews were often forbidden </span></b></p><p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">from testifying in court
because they were deemed </span></b></p><p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">“untrustworthy.” They surely are. Anyone
who recites the Kol </span></b></p><p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Nidre Prayer cannot ever be considered “honest.”
We have lots </span></b></p><p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">of those liars in industry, the media, social media and
Congress </span></b></p><p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">today. They are “mad men” in every sense and they
tolerate NO </span></b></p><p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">opposition, no matter how reasonable or tame.</span></b></p>
<p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><b><br />

<p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">SMEARING is the new
industry. If you cannot refute, just </span></b></p><p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">SMEAR HIM! Countless writers on
the World War 2 issues </span></b></p><p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">have </span></b><b><span style="font-size: large;">come under huge attack for merely

In </span></b></p><p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">much of Europe there is a black-out on

Very little they do or say makes sense. It is not supposed to. They are just there as "place holders" for those who make the decisions. The ones who make the decisions may just be 20 or 30 very wealthy and connected families in the world. They don't always agree on everything, either, but they have found it useful to cooperate in many ways in many fields. "Government service" to them just means selecting "useful idiots" to do their dirty work and take the flack so those in real power do not get exposed. A few of these people are known, many are not. What is known is their army of hundreds of "lackeys" who carry the water for the real leaders.

necessarily</span></p><p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #073763; font-size: x-large;">his “decisions!” Every four years, Americans fall</span></p><p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #073763; font-size: x-large;">for

did not trust him and that I thought he might be a</span></p><p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #073763; font-size: x-large;">“plant.” I did
agree with him that Hillary was a </span></p><p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #073763; font-size: x-large;">reincarnation of the Devil herself,
however! As it </span></p><p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #073763; font-size: x-large;">turned out, my skepticism was reasonable. After all,</span></p><p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #073763; font-size: x-large;">I
had never “trusted” any president since Ike. I only</span></p><p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #073763; font-size: x-large;">“trusted”
Ike because he was a WW2 compatriot of</span></p><p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #073763; font-size: x-large;"> my father. Later I was to understand that Ike was a</span></p><p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #073763; font-size: x-large;"> POLITICAL APPOINTEE, chosen as Supreme </span></p><p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #073763; font-size: x-large;">Allied Commander over literally dozens of better </span></p><p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #073763; font-size: x-large;">qualified leaders! As an American soldier, I did </span></p><p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #073763; font-size: x-large;">not "like" President Kennedy, either. I knew too </span></p><p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #073763; font-size: x-large;">much about the Kennedy Family, and it was not </span></p><p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #073763; font-size: x-large;">particularly flattering. But no one seemed to notice.</span></p><p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #073763; font-size: x-large;"> Kennedy was, after all, my "Commander-in-</span></p><p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #073763; font-size: x-large;">Chief" and I followed orders. Later I voted for </span></p><p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #073763; font-size: x-large;">Barry Goldwater over Lyndon Johnson. Johnson </span></p><p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #073763; font-size: x-large;">was a scoundrel of the first caliber! I was pretty </span></p><p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #073763; font-size: x-large;">disappointed in the American people and their </span></p><p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #073763; font-size: x-large;">decision at the time. (I never voted in presidential </span></p><p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #073763; font-size: x-large;">elections again), but did not suspect voting</span></p><p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #073763; font-size: x-large;"> irregularities at that time. That realization came a</span></p><p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #073763; font-size: x-large;"> few years later.</span></p><p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #073763;"><br />

horrible man Trump </span></p><p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #073763; font-size: x-large;">was and some have even threatened to murder </span></p><p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #073763;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">him!

If there is unified opposition, </span></span></p><p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #073763;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">he must have stepped on some powerful toes! </span></span></p><p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #073763;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">By the same </span></span></p><p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #073763;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">token, Trump soon learned that the "Swamp Rats"</span></span></p><p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #073763;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"> were more powerful than he, and he would waffle</span></span></p><p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #073763;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"> and stumble and his appointees were often the very</span></span></p><p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #073763;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"> folks he should have suspected would undermine </span></span></p><p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #073763;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">and destroy him!

out of the White House, the </span></p><p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #073763; font-size: x-large;">Swamp is sighing with relief. Maybe! But
you </span></p><p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #073763; font-size: x-large;">better watch out in any case. They have “plans” for </span></p><p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #073763; font-size: x-large;">everyone
and they do not look good. All of Biden’s </span></p><p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #073763; font-size: x-large;">picks for cabinet and
other positions are pure </span></p><p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #073763; font-size: x-large;">“Swamp Donkeys” and they will hasten our </span></p><p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #073763; font-size: x-large;">demise, not enhance us.</span></p><p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #073763;"><br />
</span></p><p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #073763; font-size: x-large;">Just to show you how
PRESSURE works on </span></p><p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #073763; font-size: x-large;">leaders of ALL STRIPES, here is one you have </span></p><p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #073763; font-size: x-large;">probably never heard. Hitler’s Germany was in the </span></p><p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #073763; font-size: x-large;">forefront of
developing the Jet Plane. He was so </span></p><p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #073763; font-size: x-large;">convinced jets could decide a war
he ordered a </span></p><p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #073763; font-size: x-large;">“thousand” of them manufactured. But the German </span></p><p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #073763; font-size: x-large;">Swamp who hated him, did everything they could </span></p><p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #073763; font-size: x-large;">to delay the
construction of the planes Hitler </span></p><p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #073763; font-size: x-large;">ordered! It worked! He lost. It was
a source of </span></p><p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #073763; font-size: x-large;">tremendous discouragement to Hitler, and he </span></p><p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #073763; font-size: x-large;">blamed
“certain generals and bureaucrats” for the </span></p><p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #073763; font-size: x-large;">failure. It is the
same technique used everywhere </span></p><p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #073763; font-size: x-large;">when UNSEEN LEADERS don’t like
certain </span></p><p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #073763; font-size: x-large;">things that VISIBLE LEADERS want! It is not a </span></p><p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #073763; font-size: x-large;">political
