WHEN NEWSPAPERS HATE

It is said that bad money drives out good. Maybe the same applies to newspapers. Years ago in Washington, D.C., there were at least three or four newspapers to choose from. Some took the "high road" and some took the "low road" in reporting events. Some were more focused on local matters, some more focused on national matters, and others devoted quite a lot of space to world affairs.

In the latter category was The Washinton Post. Its owners were from internationally oriented groups. They guided the Post accordingly. Hence, a confident vision of the future was proffered to its readers. The Post beckoned Washingtonians and world leaders to join them in the world's tomorrow - today. Sure, the Post was accused of being too liberal, too international, and/or too intellectual. How naive we were then!

As it turned out, the Post had taken a "high road" at a high price; they had repressed normal thoughts until such thoughts became twisted, broken and festered within the body of the medium. How could the Post escape sickness?

For the last several years, The Washington Post has periodically flashed the unwholesomeness within. This week from the mouth of the Post issued utterly foul hate which was discharged upon a Virginian, whose only crime had been running for governor as the Republican candidate.

Is The Washington Post at heart perverted? Why does it think it can employ the language of hate, while denouncing "hate crimes" in the presence of solons of national legislation?

MAYOR FENTY: AVANTGARDE OR 'BAMA?

Mayor Adrian M. Fenty of Washington, D.C., is a thoroughly modern politicians, according to criteria used by the contemporary press. He's a "comer" who may be leading a Democrat presidential ticket in eight or ten years. This is especially true if the "movers and shakers" in D.C., including Capitol Hill, can "upgrade" the District of Columbia" into the "State of Columbia." A "make-over" certainly seems possible, especially if all the really positive, enlightened people put their shoulders to it. Governor Fenty is a better platform for president than Mayor Fenty.

Besides being, in the words of Woody Allen, a "glibe, young cosmopolitan," Mayor Fenty is a man of vision. He sees a shining city in a swamp. It's future D.C. All that's needed is a little funding. Construction will be a big part of it, and Metropolitan Washington D.C. has some of the richest builders in America just waiting for politicians to offer them a deal they can't refuse.

Therefore, Mayor Fenty appears to be a "hot" politician. He gets things done.

Still, for all the glittery facade, there is reason to believe that he's just another D.C. 'Bama.

The African American Establishment in Washington, D.C., arose from ambitious sons and grandsons of slavery. A steady train of African Americans worked their way north to D.C., as well as to other places. The liberating forces that began most significantly during the FDR/Truman years carried more of these African Americans into prosperity. The "Ole Southern Charm" of Washington, D.C., was, in a sense, preserved by the established African Americans, rather than the dwindling numbers of White Southerners who still called Washington, D.C., home. The "Gold Coast" in Washington, D.C., was the heart of "Black Dixie."

For many years observant African Americans in small towns throughout the South could see what the White leadership was doing that was working well and what they were doing that was not working well. There was no money-generating plot that worked better than "taxing" Yankee cars passing through the town. They could be "nailed" coming and going. Sheriff's could be creative about moving violations.

A favorite trick was for a major route, allowing 65 miles an hour speed for cars, to pass through a "town" of ten shacks that mandated 15 mile an hour speed limits. Additionally, car break-downs in these robber-barron citadels could end up costing a bundle, starting with the tow.

As Yankees got wealthier and yearned to sample Florida sunshine, the flood of cars heading South became a bonanza. None of this was lost on the leaders of the African America communities in these scattered but numerous towns throughout the New York to Miami corridor. They saw the Scott-Irish preying on their northern neighbors' caravans. They saw that it worked. Ambitious people don't forget money-making schemes. They may re-package them, but they are going to use them again. Why? Because they have seen that they work.

African Americans came up from the South, perhaps bearing little material wealth, but they had within their heads the knowledge of the tried and true means of making money. Tax the "strangers' cars." Money from various routes came to this core of 'Bamas during their transplant years in Washington, D.C. Many grew very wealthy. They created the African American Gold Coast and came to dominant the very important African American institution in D.C., the Prince Hall Masonic Lodge.

It is the Prince Hall Masonic Lodge that has given the local community most of its African American leaders. It has also preserved the "hidden knowledge" of the 'Bama: Tax the Strangers' Cars.

Mayor Fenty is a scion of this tradition. I would be surprised if he was not a member of the Prince Hall Masonic Lodge. I would be surprised if he were not well-known to the Gold Coast Establishment. But, even were he an alien to both, he would still bear in his soul the essence of the D.C. 'Bama: Tax the Strangers' Cars.

Mayor Fenty and former Mayor Williams were and are the High Priests of Vehicular Terrorism. It is my thesis that Robber-Barons aren't "Knights in Shining Armor." This conclusion should be perceived as a political caveat.

D.C.'S NOVEL POLITICS

Washington, D.C. is a city bred to politics, and a political ethos is everywhere evident. In no area of politics has Washinton, the District of Columbia, been more avantgarde than in absentee mayoral leadership. Mayor Fenty has now passed former Mayor Williams as "King of the Road." Whether gay Paris, a Caribbean beach, or meretricious Las Vegas, count Mayor Fenty "in." Absentee mayors are getting to be an urban norm.

Ruling by mobile phone has become very popular with politicians. A few key staff members remain in Washington, the District of Columbia, ever-ready to receive a Fenty-gram or cellphone-ukase. D.C. mayors are thinkers - doncha know? They need to leave the limelight of the Washington fast-life to think about their next five year plan. Stimulated by pleasantly undulating young hips, keeping time to exotic music, the political mind of Mayor Fenty becomes very fertile, siring ideas likety-split.

This is why they were elected - right?

Perhaps no intense political "brainstorming" by a Washington mayor equals that of the struggle against the constitutional design for the nation, which included the District of Columbia as the national seat of government. Just as Freemasons believe that God erred here and there in His design of the Universe generally and Earth specifically (if only He had been advised by the Brotherhood!), so the mayors and pols of Washington, D.C. believe that the Founding Fathers erred. How? The great bulk of Washingtonians will tell you at once: the District of Columbia should have been a state from the outset.

The vanity of these "people of politics" in Washington, D.C. make Ozimandias appear quite modest. Is there an inherent immaturity problem laying waste to sound vision in the District of Columbia? Possibly, but if so, it is an immaturity shared with a majority of "thinkers" on Capitol Hill.

The three main groups of "power-lunchers" in Washington's local government - Freemasonic Blacks, wealthy homosexual "urban pioneers" and Jewish lawyers/office-builders - want to attend meetings of the governors of the fifty states, as equal schmoozers. They yearn to proclaim to their peers that the "great sovereign State of the District of Columbia supports this or that, or opposes this or that. Nay! Not "State of the District of Columbia" but the "sovereign State of Washington II" (too?).

In Washington, D.C. status, turf, and "pecking order" are THE preeminent issues. From it money and fun flow. Hence, by this piece of information the bitter whining about not being a "sovereign state" can be made comprehensible to the "outside" world. ["They don't understand what were trying to say!"]

Every year, Congress grants the District of Columbia a few billion dollars of "other peoples' tax money" ["OPTM"] to try to run a proper government. Every year they fail miserably. It is the sort of place that overpaid "chieftains" abound. They "do lunch" a lot.

One example is the curious pavement on streets in the District that resembles a "sketeboard park" because of all the "rolls and dips" on flat terrain. Clearly, substandard asphalt/paving material is used, as contractors dilute the mix.

Another example is the recent subway train collision. No one in the District EVER thought of a "back-up" system to act as a second monitor of the positions of its speeding or stopped trains.

Still another example is the lack of water hydrants and inadequate water pressure, that seemed to combine to be the "cause" of a real-estate-enriched heiress losing her house and its "priceless" art collection to fire, recently. Sadly, she had probably "entertained" many of these same D.C. politicians at that very home, which is now in ashes.

It is my unofficial understanding that D.C. politicians are "looking into" these problems and that "blue-ribbon" committees are planned to investigate these matters, if Congress will just appropriate "investigative" money.

SUBWAY TRAINS COLLIDE

This latest -and tragic - episode of subway mishap underlines the foolishness of the Washington, D.C., government in attacking cars to force huge numbers of workers to utilize subways and buses. Not only is this subway system inherently limited in its capacity to "haul people," but the bus system is also inherently limited. Although the idiots running Washington, D.C. (and advising this leadership) believe that the use of bicycles and jogging will take up the slack left by rail and bus inadequacy, there is no means of conveyance that can replace automobiles. Use of motorcycles and motor scooters can provide a useful alternate for some. Most people will require a car. They may pool vehicles.

Given this reality - and it is a reality, if Washington is to remain well-populated, one would think that the mayor & council would start the necessary process of going vertical. However, the "robber baron" mentality of the leadership of Washington, D.C., makes any practical plan stillborn by the heavy burden of taxes which they inevitably levy.

These are certainly not the first para-tyrants to envision grandiose schemes for their city. Typically, their "visions" eventually require slaves to complete the labor, as no one would do the work for the hire. Where workers "net" only blisters, which of them will long remain a worker? Hence, they must be compelled by armed force.

Mayor Fenty has a complete scheme for the Southeast Waterfront. Marvelous buildings, entertainment facilities, housing, et al, will enliven as well as grace beloved Washington. Every restaurant will be five-stars, and there will be a bunch. Great chefs from all around the world will be gathered to operate these restaurants. Luxury yachts from around the world will - swanlike - patrol the enchanting waterfront. There will be many new jobs created by these restaurants. Newspapers and television stations will send a plague of "food critics" to daily consider the fare proffered. All their grading systems will be different and obscure.

Who's going to pay for all this development? For the most part only those that get a "tax break" from the leadership of Washington. Once they build the structures and open for business, who is going to pay for their goods and services?

One "natural" is the horde of overpaid consultants advising Mayor Fenty, President Obama, and anyone else who can "pass the check." Assisting them will be the horde of lawyers that assist government to squeeze money out of whoever has it. They'll naturally want a luxury condominium overlooking the revitalized Anacostia River. Such construction will naturally bring in a horde of lobbyist trying to get a cut of Fenty's Tenderloin District. Older Gay Washingtonians, wealthy from urban pioneering, may choose to transfer their shanks to the glistening new face of Washington. ["One gets so tired of the puke and stench of Georgetown and Dupont Circle."]

If the Iranian government is overturned, Mayor Fenty may offer asylum to those wealthy members of the fallen regime ("refugees?"), who no doubt have "bagged" a bunch of oil loot.

In short there are some well-funded individuals out there. Perhaps wealthy athletes may decide to move into Mayor Fenty's wonderland. If athletes, why not entertainers. If President Obama and Mayor Fenty used their vision and their charm, maybe Hollywood film moguls and stars might purchase a luxury unit.

All rich people need servants. There would be a boom in servitude.

Therefore, with such marvelous prospects for the future "makeover" of Southeast Washington, why should the leadership of Washington, D.C. tolerate (hateful word!) automobile drivers? The only way they can be rationalized by the leadership's high-priced advisers is if they will submit to a heavy commuter tax. "If you want to play, then you got to pay!" chortle the mayor and the council.

The problem is that most of them don't go to Washington to play; they go to work.

ABUSE OF TERROR

The recent events at the Holocaust Museum brought transient moments of terror into the lives of some 2000 people who happened to be visiting the museum at that time. Such people are shaken by the thought that they might have been the one who was shot and mortally wounded. A blend of "bad vibrations" lives on within these people for weeks thereafter, as they play out various scenarios and ramifications. For some the experience of a non-specific form of guilt may leave them depressed. For all those who experienced that bloody moment, it was a "bad trip" that will live on for some time - perhaps the remainder of their lives.

However, people are resilient. I believe that most people overcome disasters, whether manmade or "acts of nature," such as volcanic eruptions or earthquakes. Humanity was endowed with a good portion of "moxie" from the outset. That was a good thing, as they regularly have to exhibit it at numerous times and places on this good Earth. Victory may go to the swift, but it also goes to the tough and resourceful.

The importance of the Holocaust Museum's Day of Blood may not be the event per se, but rather, the derivative events that may cause permanent changes in the laws by which we live in America. With the media leading the way, powerful interests will certainly used this event as an opportunity to pass legislation that would permanently wound and cripple the beloved First Amendment. This may well be attempted in several ways that need not be apparently related.

On Capitol Hill there will be rushed into sloppy form a potpouri of previously planned legislation. which have the thrust of preventing "hate crimes." A Bill which protects Jews, Blacks, Latinos, Asians, women, homosexuals, lesbians, transgenderites, warlocks, witches, Rock Stars, vertically- &/or horizontally-challenged people, and Satanists may roll out for a vote before the Fourth of July. President Obama will announce his enthusiatic support for this legislation.

On Capitol Hill there will be rushed into sloppy form a potpouri of previously planned legislation to limit the sale of firearms, bullets, knives, forks and spoons. Anyone who violently uses such weapons with discernable, assumptive, or hypothetical hate on Jews, Blacks, Latinos, Asians, women, homosexuals, lesbians, transgenderites, warlocks, witches, Rock Stars, vertically- &/or horizontally-challenged people, and Satanists will automatically receive a mandatory five year sentence and a one million dollar fine. There will be ardent cries to repeal the Second Amendment. Intellectuals will reason that only Homeland Security should have guns, because they only exist to "protect us."

Sincere futurists may envision and polemicize the need for society to abort post-natal humans who have been deformed by Nazi doctrines, "racism," and Anti-Semitism. They will point out that if Hitler's idea of a Germany owned and operated by Germans found exceptance, then the Era of Anti-Semitism will have been enthroned. If such doctrines were accepted everywhere, there would be no place for Jews to call home - other than the State of Israel (sic). The community of western intellectuals would unite to buy a full page in the New York Times, denouncing such a trend. Congress can be expected to hold "hearings" on this matter. President Obama pledges to support a diversity of Jews in high places throughout the world. Obama assures: This is what democracy is all about.

Opposition to growing neo-Nazi influence, said to now number in the scores of people, will impel Congress and the White House to pass a law to abolish unwarranted freedoms in America. Congress will then promise to imprison every American, if that's what's needed to preserve our precious freedoms.

Did the Holocaust shooter unintentionally shoot Uncle Sam in the heart?


Technorati Profile

HELPING THE POST OFFICE

I have been grieved to hear that the United States Postal Service is suffering from money issues. I've had some myself and can vouch for the Postal People's pain. Yes, being broke isn't a young man's dream of the future. Still, as we like to say: What it is!

I have a suggestion. Given the speeding and jaywalking in the Post Offices' parking lots, why not issue tickets? A few hidden cameras which are well calculated to catch people jaywalking could easily make a bunch of loot.

Every time I go to the regional USPS in Merrifield, VA, I find myself almost backing over a visitor, who has chosen to walk right behind my car. Individuals aren't the only problem. Mothers will push their babies right behind a car clearly preparing to leave. People refuse to go the "long way" by utilizing the sidewalks. Only jaywalking citations will get the correct response.

D.C. REPS DECLARE CONCEPTIONAL STATEHOOD

On the frontpage of Technorati for April 7, 2009, was a citation from an article, which read: "The D.C. Council voted today to recognize same-sex marriages performed in other states, on the same day that Vermont became the fourth state to legalize same-sex unions...." (Emphasis added.)

Since the District of Columbia has many well-educated residents, who tend to be interested in political matters, the wording above is most likely not arrived at by accidental misusage. Further, since the whining legend on license plates issued to cars and other motor vehicles by the District of Columbia make plain to all but the absolutely obtuse that the political leadership understands that the District of Columbia isn't a state of the union but merely the territorial seat of the national government. If these politically interested residents of D.C. wanted to live in a state of the union, all they need do is move to Maryland or Virginia, both of which are only a few miles away.

These are arrogant people. Arrogance and misplaced anger are the two most recognizable traits of residents of the District. They are often apparent when promoting a self-serving cause. Hence, it's not lack of intelligence but disfiguring traits that engender obvious misstatements, such as above cited.

The expression "other states" suggest that the District of Columbia is a "state of the national union." It suggests that there is parity between it and "other states." It is an arrogant "reach" and false comparison.

Although the District of Columbia is not a state of the national union, meaning the United States of America, it is a "state" of the United States. This strange situation came about after a series of deliberations around the turn of the 20th century by the Supreme Court which were collectively called the Insular Decisions. In these series of cases the Court decided that there were three United States. One was the national union of sovereign states. Another was the U.S. represented as a Sovereign among other nations. The last was the United States as a municipal power which exercised "exclusive Legistive Power" through Congress over the Seat of Government, military bases & depots, territories and enclaves. In the latter "United States" Congress functions as the exclusive sovereign, unlimited by the Constitution, or by other branches of government.

By craft and facile terminology our leaders have been able to extend the municipal power of Congress over the citizens of the sovereign states by extending them "privileges," acceptance of which would then effectively waive one's constitutional protections. By this means national law was largely replaced by public policy, which benefits were granted to its "subjects" by the sovereign Congress, rather than "Unalienable Rights" bestowed by God. For the same reason everywhere in every formerly sovereign state, the federal government asserted the primacy of its law. This is the same as asserting its jurisdiction.

No one seemed to care one way or another. The prevailing idiom is: I don't care so long as I get my share. This is pretty much the message in "gangsta rap."

However, one can't really expect to fairly reap more than one sews. Hence, Americans have become rather morally loose. This brings us back to the residents of the District of Columbia. You can't get much looser than these folks. Besides being one of the few jurisdictions with rising levels of AIDs, these brainy Sodomites and their supporters have taken to falling on the streets to block traffic in protest against the ravages of this disease, which is peculiar to proponents of aberrant sexual practices. From this starting point a secondary wave of victims is created.

One of the leaders of the D.C. Council, a Mr. Graham (not known to be a blood relative of Donald Graham, son of Katherine Meyer Graham, the late owner of The Washington Post Company), publicly expressed himself as incensed at the comment of a Montgomery County, Maryland, politician at a public forum that included the word "aberrant" in regard to homosexuality. Needless to say, Mr. Graham is a proud homosexual and publicly-elected D.C. representative. He, his friends, his allies and his supporters not surprisingly are in favor of "gay marriages" or, at a minimum, "same-sex unions."

Therefore, when on the occasion of this supremely unwise and cruel legislation being enacted in Vermont, as it had been in a few other states, this event also offered the D.C. Council an opportunity to support this legislation in principle but also to word it in such a way as to suggest peerage between the sovereign states of the national union and the District of Columbia, seat of the national government. Proponents of "Gay equality" and "states' rights" for the District of Columbia could join forces behind the Council's vote of "recognition." They could be confident of media reportage being favorable.

In a nation ravaged by venereal diseases and tattoos, the signs of outlawry are visible on the very skin. Could their legislation be less bold?
