THE "SILLY GOATS" BLUFF!

THE "SILLY GOATS" BLUFF!

I love fairy tales! They are found in all languages, among all peoples. They give insight into character and provide humor at its finest!

The Norse have a tale called "THE THREE BILLY GOATS GRUFF" and this is a parody on the tale!

For those who are not familiar with the story, it can be found on the internet. However, a super-short version goes like this: The Three Billy Goats Gruff were headed for a mountain pasture to grow big and fat on the rich grass. They had to cross a bridge to get there, and under the bridge lived a nasty, nasty TROLL!  When the Smallest crossed, the Troll threatened to eat him, and the little goat assured the Troll that his bigger brother was bigger and tastier. The dumb, greedy Troll fell for that line. When the Middle Size crossed the bridge the same thing happened! The dumb troll was fooled again! When the Biggest Billy Goat Gruff appeared, the Troll got his comeuppance, getting booted into the river by someone bigger than him! Greed, it seems, is universal!

In our political side-show arena today, we have THE THREE SILLY GOATS BLUFF! None of them are particularly tasty, none of them have anything useful to say or do, but grow fat on the green grass produced by the rest of the population. They are some of the biggest phonies on the planet! The one masquerades as a Cannibal King from the South Seas who loves to rule by fiat! 

He is famous for "Dupe and Change," his marvelous policy of a fine future for America and the world. He is known for his love of teleprompters! He is also known for writing illegal, dictatorial and stupid Presidential Executive Orders designed to circumvent the rule of Constitutional Law! And he loves to appoint his political cronies to jobs for which they have little qualification,  except to turn everything upside down! In short, he is a dream machine! What is there NOT to like about this man and his monkey-shines??!

The other is a wanna-be feminist who hates women, and who snuggles up to the Cannibal King, saying she is making history by showing off her lying eyes!  Don't they just make the most purr-fect, dreamy couple?! Just imagine with me for a minute, if you will, the dark, dreary liars and lawbreakers they could produce together! She is best known as the Killer of Benghazi, the distributor of Secret e mails, and being Too Big to Prosecute for any crime!

No wonder His Royal Majesty thinks she is the only candidate "fit to rule!" All she needs is a crown and we can call her "Queen Pillary!" What a gem! What is even more inspiring is the chanting, praising Sheeple out there, egging her on! I wonder what they are being paid for their performance? Yes sir, good people, all we need is another four years of these two "Silly Goats Bluff!"

Oh, but wait, there is one more out there! He is the big overgrown, pompous one, THE BIGGEST BILLY GOAT OF THEM ALL! And he has the biggest horns with which he will dispatch all the problems of the world! Folks, it does not get any better than this!

Ronald/McDonald Dump is probably the most interesting, and the biggest Billy Goat to come along in a long, long time! He has a history of being a big business man, has gone broke off and on, has lots of connections that are suspect, has a huge sense of humor, has brought up subjects considered taboo in the press, and in general, has managed to attract the attention of the electorate! He is most famous for his line "You're Fired!" 

So, now that the "candidates" have all been "selected," they all engage in the time-tested game of mud-slinging! Its bread and circus time, folks!  Enjoy it while you can, because absolutely nothing will change, only the name on the door and the date on the calendar. Wars will continue, living beyond our means will continue, our borders will stay open and our problems will grow. Would I LIKE to see some honest changes? Oh, yes! But, trends in motion often stay in motion until something very hard changes them. It will be interesting to watch the show, of course, and see IF Ronald/McDonald Dump will succeed in firing anyone! So, enjoy it while you can!

I hope your will excuse me...but I do not intend to take this side-show by the THREE SILLY GOATS BLUFF too seriously. I think I will go out and tend to my beans, tomatoes, cucumbers and squash instead! They never lie to me, are true to their kind, are always productive and provide me with tasty, nutritious food. Now that, good people, is true politics and good economics at its best!

JUST A WEE BIT!

IT'S JUST A WEE BIT HIPPO-CRITICAL!

Five lil Politicians Swimming in the Pond....
Follow Me, Follow Me
Says the One with the Wand....
I always know what's Best, 
And soon You will See....
What's Good for All the Rest!

"So what if I gave a away a few classified secrets? What's a few classified secrets among friends??! What two people know is no longer a secret anyway, since now everyone knows, so what's all the fuss about?" said front-running candidate Pillary Plimpton as she shook her hair-do in disgust. "We make entirely too much about little mistakes. We all make them, you know!" she concluded.

Senator Straight-man, who is noted for his outspoken opposition to promoting homosexuality, challenged the front runner, saying that excuse would  not "hold water!" 

"Look at Smedley Branning, who is sitting in Leavenworth Military Prison chewing his cud, because he leaked secrets to the press," the exasperated senator pointed out, who never passes up an opportunity to slam Pillary. "Why should you be treated differently?"

The Pillary Campaign was quick criticize Senator Straight-man as a shameless, rabid "homophobe!" The Campaign further pointed out that Pillary is an "insider" that holds the higher moral ground, therefore she is held to a different level of accounting than the average person! Besides, everyone knows that Senator Straight-man was just playing "gutter-politics," as usual!

The senator angrily retorted that Sergeant Cloe Smergdahl is being given a military court martial for dereliction of duty, desertion, collaborating with the enemy and other alleged offenses. Why should Pillary not undergo a similar process in the civilian courts?

And the Pillary Campaign noted that she had been grilled mercilessly by the finest minds at the FBI  (Federal Bureau of Incompetence!) and they rightfully concluded that no crime had taken place. After all, mistakes are not crimes, Pillary pointed out. The FBI agrees, she said. Besides, Pillary further pointed out, "I have to run, you know, because if I do not run, who will save us from that terrible racist Donald Dump?! He is a beast who is the least qualified person to run and 'I am the Greatest,'" she concluded, borrowing a line made famous by world-class boxer Muhammad "Christian" Bali!

Senator Straight-man ruefully noted that as President, "Pillary Plimpton might make a lot more mistakes!" We cannot afford her as a leader in Washington, he maintained. "It is too important a job for an error-prone woman!"  While that drew predictable charges of sexism from the Pillary Campaign, nothing of substance was alluded to!

 In the meantime, Social Media Tycoon Smiley Yuckerberg who runs one of the world's largest social media sites lamented how Donald Dump wanted to build a wall to keep out the "riff and raff" from south of our border. We need "to get along better than that," he maintained. Pillary agrees, "Read my lips, no new walls!" Meantime, Yuckerberg's neighbors on the Island Nation of Hay-Why-ee are up in arms because Yuckie is building a six-foot wall around HIS estate! Mocking Yuckie, his neighbors say, "We need to get along better than that!" To which Yuckie's staff replied that if the neighbors were that concerned about the view, they should have bought the estate themselves! Now folks, that oughta-hold-em! (Not really; Yuckie's
staff forgot to point out that others not as well endowed with money, could hardly afford the place!)

Well, good people, that is our parody from today's world of wacky politics! Isn't it nice to live in a free country where everything goes and our fearless leaders are fearless, because they are free to be, and think the rest of us are 
too stupid to notice, comment or object??!

Take a "Gander" at the world of our "leaders," folks!

A LITTLE OVERSIGHT!

IT WAS JUST A LITTLE OVERSIGHT!

Happy Fourth of July, Courtesy of FBI Fireworks!

"It is so nice to see the Federal Bureau of Incompetence is on the job, making their wonderful, praise-worthy decision regarding Pillary Plimton's Email Scandal!" So said Senator Bullshits-ski in Washington DC (District of Corruption) in his response to a reporter's question about the decision. "After all," he continued, "Everyone knows its was just another attempt by Donald Dump to discredit one of the finest leaders ever to grace our shores!"

Wow, the Washington Merry-go-Round is at it again, with our top leaders saying exactly the right things at the right time! Undoubtedly, supporters of Plimpton will breathe a collective sigh of relief, now that this so-called "scandal" is behind us! What is there not to like or trust about such fine, moral, upstanding leaders?!

Even President Ebony, the Gorilla look-alike in the "Black House" in Washington made it plain when he gushed unabashedly that Pillary was the only candidate fit to rule! So now, he maintained, our great land can look forward to another four more years of great prosperity! That way, "dupe and change," which the president so admires, may be expected to continue!

Also getting into the act was Senator Change-my-Mind, who takes a position on just about everything and then, naturally, changes it! Now, he states that he would be proud to serve under a woman who is in a position to bring the exalted fairer sex into its rightful position of leadership! Men's days are numbered, the good senator maintains, and so therefore women need to put their best foot forward! Naturally, Plimpton is the best example of courageous, honest and moral leadership the senator concluded.

Yes, good people, that is today's latest parody from Washington, District of Corruption. Don't complain, smile and take it "like a man!"

Fallout from the Splendid FBI decision!

BREXIT!

 BREXIT

CONGRATULATIONS TO THE PEOPLE OF GREAT BRITAIN ON BREXIT!! 

THE REPTILES LOST!! 

And this may be the start of more of the same around the world! Way to go, Limeys!!

It is really funny to watch the establishment media run their "shock and awe" circus! CNN, for instance, ran an article on "REGRETS-IT" implying that people regretted their vote! CNN has also suggested that the referendum is not binding, so therefore can be ignored! Is there no shame at all for the way these prostitutes twist everything?

It is truly amazing to me that a socialist country like England, with so many on public assistance and so many working for the government, can actually get a majority to vote for leaving the dictatorship of the EU! It is very significant. It simply says that Britain is tired of being used as a dumping ground for the EU's immigration trash, and sick and tired of being told what to do in all other matters. Britain and Europe can do all the trading and working together they want without compromising the integrity and independence of Britain or anyone else. That is not the way the EU bureaucrats in Brussels see it, however. They just want more and more economic and physical power over everyone and it clearly is not working. The EU economically is on the verge of collapse. One cannot expect more productive European Countries to constantly prop up weaker ones. The whole thing needs to break up into more manageable national enclaves as before, so each nation can decide for themselves what is the best action for THEM, not some faceless idiot in Brussels!

It is sometimes helpful to remember that Adolf Hitler was a proponent of a United Europe many years ago. He was met with derision for that. Many years later, the idea was floated about a United States of Europe and the Euro currency was born! Then it was touted as a wonderful thing! Apparently it was not a question of "whether," but of "who runs" the show! It is laughable!

It pays to bear in mind that the EU was an experiment in World Government. It is a colossal failure on all fronts and the sooner it goes "bye-bye" the better for everyone! Don't expect the "Reptiles that Be" to take it all sitting down. They will manipulate the value of the British Pound and other items to suit their own agenda in an effort to convince people that independence is a terrible idea. In the long run it won't fly, but look for a rocky road ahead.

All one has to do is look at NAFTA and other Sovereignty-robbing and employment-ruining treaties the US has been subjected to in the past few decades and see what has happened to America economically to realize this is all very bad for all of us. My best guess is that independence movements will continue. Smaller is Better! 

Washington, the EU, Israel and other incompetents have been running the show for too long. They are trying their best (or worst) to get a war started between Russia and Europe. That is the last thing anybody wants or needs, but the War Drums keep beating on a daily basis! Don't be fooled by all the hoopla....its a good deal for armament makers and others like them but a bad deal all around for the rest of us!

Its always best to have and continually strive for good relations with everyone, instead of trying to play World Bully. President George Washington said it best, when in his Farewell Address, he spoke against foreign entanglements. The results of disregarding his sound advice speak for themselves! 

The Sun Needs to Set on World Government!

THE NAME CHANGER!

THE NAME CHANGER!

"Foggy Bottom"

from Author's Collection

Here is today's Parody from Washington, DC (District of Corruption):

Well, folks, it was bound to happen sooner or later. The President issued Executive Order number three million today. It orders a major change in how the "White House" is maintained! It seems the esteemed building will undergo a complete change of color from White to Black, to keep from offending the first family! President Ebony maintains that the current color does not accurately represent the make-up of today's modern society and that his change will create a higher harmony in the life of all Americans! Consequently the place will now be known as the "Black House!"

The First Wife declared she would do her part and change the color of the toilet paper in the rest-rooms of the edifice from white to black!  

The Order promptly drew a backlash from the legislative branch! Senator Tight-bottom observed it would cost more than a million current dollars to make and install black toilet tissue! He also noted it would cost an extra five million dollars to cool the building during each hot summer as the color black absorbs heat! President Ebony promptly called Senator Tight-bottom an unabashed racist and hate-monger! He also said even though many Americans were not working these days thanks to the president's exemplary policies, they could still afford it! It would show their true commitment to the president's noble agenda!

Other voices in Congress added their concerns. Senator Bullshits-ski labeled the Order "bizarre" and "insensitive" as a new president would be installed on the White House Throne soon, and may want to change the color back to White! To this President Ebony said something that is totally unprintable in this family blog; he was "encouraged" by staff to refer to his teleprompter for a more "politically correct" response!

Congressman Wishey-washy, who is noted for his maniacal opposition to aspiring Presidential Candidate Donald Trump noted that if Trump wins he would dub the White House "The Dumpster!" This of course, generated a sharp response from the Pro-Trump crowd who promptly suggested Congressman Wishey-washy did not want to make America great again!

Finally, Senator Straight-man, who is an unabashed critic of the gay lobby suggested that we should wait to see if "Pillary" might win, in which case she might prefer a Rainbow of colors! The good senator further groused that if she should win, he would have no choice but to refer to the 

edifice as the "Dyke House!" The Hillary Clinton Mob promptly suggested the senator suffers from a bad case of homophobia and that he was spreading "hate speech!"

And that's the way the Washington Merry-go-round spins today, good people, as our little Parody comes to a close! Laugh, drink and make Merry!!

DON'T TAKE OUR LIFE LIES AWAY!

DON'T TAKE OUR LIFE-LIES AWAY!

Mesa Arch in Canyonlands National Park
Author's Photograph 

Whatever our fate in life, we all have certain "life-lies" we hold dear. The phrase was probably coined by someone who was not very popular! So exactly what is a "life-lie?" It is something that we believe in that just is not true.

Some examples will suffice: 1) We believe in democracy, as though "democracy" is a norm or a given or even makes any sense. There are many tribes in the world who do not even understand what it means. They just know that when they lose, they go to war! Democracy works on the false principle that the majority knows best. They don't! 2) Gun Control saves lives! What a crude and cruel joke. Just ask any people that is disarmed and at the mercy of a cruel government if they are any better off or "safer!" They are not. Governments are regular killing machines that go at their work with gruesome regularity. They do it with a justification that others are "evil," and a "threat" to "their" superior existence! 3) Central Banks are there to help us!  They are not. They are there to make sure the cards are stacked in their favor regardless of the consequences.

In the past few days, we see some glaring examples of "life-lies" at work. The recent killing of 50 people in Orlando is given huge press coverage. What is so important about that? 50 Homosexuals who presumably will never reproduce (and therefore do not have a long-term future) are given all this space and attention? Even funnier and more ridiculous is the government actually KNEW the killer, had investigated him and found him without "blemish!" Is this another "set-up," or not? Well, somebody knows the answer to that one and is saying nothing! 
There are small wars around the world continuing every day we never hear anything about nor do we hear about their casualties. Where is the outrage? There isn't any! Or the Waco Massacre by a government gone mad, which killed far more men women and children than Orlando, is never mentioned. The killing of sailors on board the USS LIBERTY by Israel is never mentioned. All of a sudden, the gun-control freaks come out of the wood-work as if on cue, screaming for more restrictions on weapons! Such behavior is so plastic, how can people not see through this garbage?! How would enacting new laws have prevented the Orlando Massacre? It wouldn't have! I personally live in an area where weapons are very common, yet we seldom have murders. So, the concept is baloney! 

Well then, what is this all about? Its very simple: the agenda calls for disarming legitimate people, to make them easy to manage by a regime whose ultimate purpose is enslavement of all. If you say that too loudly in public you probably will be at least verbally abused!

Much ado has been made about "Brexit," the proposal for Britain to become more economically independent. The idea really scares the elite silly, who work to centralize all economic control. So conveniently, a man kills a Member of Parliament and all of a sudden debate is suspended by BOTH sides and the election thrown into a tizzy that may change the outcome! Its not a stretch to view this as a rigged game!

My, but our leaders are smart! They know how to play their cards well and the "sheeple" fall for it every time!

Whatever happens, remember the "life-lies" and be sure to believe them! After all, they are the bulwark of a totalitarian society that we all secretly love so much......and that some folks are working so hard to achieve............

REMEMBER THE USS LIBERTY!

REMEMBER THE USS LIBERTY!

     We Americans love to praise our fallen military on Memorial Day. That is as it should be! But, when was the last time (or the first time for that matter), you heard a tribute to the 24 dead and the 174 survivors of the USS LIBERTY INCIDENT on June 8, 1967 when Israel Torpedoed, Napalmed and Bombed the crap out of OUR ship in International Waters? Strangely, it is seldom mentioned. 

      USN Captain William Mc Gonagle maneuvered the LIBERTY in such a way as to keep the ship from sinking. He was awarded the MEDAL OF HONOR for his role. Yet, he is never mentioned in the accolades for our fallen, either. On his gravestone, his Medal of Honor is given prominence, but the Liberty Incident is missing! His other service is listed, however!

     Phillip Tourney, a USN Petty Officer, who was aboard the ship the day of the incident, wrote an interesting book called WHAT I SAW THAT DAY. It is sobering reading. Sometimes, our professed “friends” may not be our friends at all. As a matter of fact, who needs "friends" like that???

"WHAT I SAW THAT DAY" is available from THE BARNES REVIEW BOOK CLUB.

REMEMBER THE USS LIBERTY!

The Blogger has received some emails on this subject from several sources. The most often cited opinion relates to the idea that the Israeli incident with the USS Liberty was a "Misunderstanding" of some sort! That is the official position of the Zionist State, perhaps. It is false. The pilots who initially sought out the USS Liberty flew so close that the men on board could clearly see the man in the cockpit! How does one miss a huge American Flag flying in the breeze on a clear day? And, even more importantly, how can one "misunderstand" an American ship (for an Egyptian one) with identification numbers painted in huge letters on the bow and claim with a straight face that this was a mistake?
Well its easy: if you are looking for sympathy and have no problem lying, it is simple to say! 
It has been clearly established that the "one-eyed bandit" Moshe Dyan personally gave the order to sink the ship. The Navy personnel who were there at the time, have their stories straight. The cover-up has continued for almost 50 years......
