Get It Right MSM!

Today some kid killed himself in his High School in Springfield, Pennsylvania. Horrible thing, especially around Christmas. My heart goes out to his family and friends. My problem is with the local media. When this story broke on KYW this morning, I thought hell, Springfield High School, as in Delaware County? Even tonight, right now on Channel Six, they are saying: Springfield Township, Pennsylvania in their report. Imagine parents of children in our "Springfield High School" hearing what I did this morning on the radio? GET IT RIGHT MEDIA! If you broadcast into Delaware County, as well as "Montgomery County" (Where the tragedy happened) you should say what county you’re reporting about!

Happy Holidays Bill O' Reilly!

Yes Bill, I think of you a lot. I think about you and your smug self as you sit on your throne at Fox Broadcasting spewing your Joseph Goebbels like bullshit. I searched the Blogosphere from an enlightenment via Above Average Jane (More on that later), and found this at Robert Greenwald's Blog. A tribute to Bill and the rest of the New Neo-Nazi Spinmeisters that have backed themselves into a corner, supposedly defending freedoms in the U.S. but in reality serving the Oligarchs and collecting a fat paycheck to boot. Cheers.

Killing Christmas

Last night I had the displeasure? of chatting with a woman from Ridley at Thomas' Cafe. She said she was Catholic, and soon our conversation turned to the sex abuse scandal that plagues the Catholic Church. She admitted that it bothered her that no mention of this ever comes up at Mass. I then asked her what she thought of the meaning of the word "Christmas". I saw by the look in her eyes and the way she half smiled what was to come next. She explained to me that when she was a kid (judging from her looks that wasn't that long ago), she believed in Santa Clause and did all the things that her Mom had told her to do on Christmas Eve, like leaving some milk and cookies for Santa. As she got older, she found out (like we all did) that Santa Claus is a crock of baloney. She further stated that she didn't believe in Jesus being born in a manger, etc, etc. I asked her what demon invaded her soul. Before she replied, I answered her question. The reason you don't believe in Christmas is because the mass media has censored it for decades, instead shoving Santa Claus, Presents, Xmas, Hanukkah, and Kwanzaa down our throats while making it "Politically Incorrect" to mention even the word Christmas in most references to the holiday. Anyone reading this knows I am telling the truth. Of course she said I was wrong in my assumptions, and walked to the other side of the bar. To me "Christmas" is celebrating the birth of Jesus. It's about giving, as he gave to us. The fact that other religious groups do not acknowledge this should not allow them to be able to try to ban or change Christmas. But they are doing just this. Just pick up your local newspaper, watch your favourite TV show, even go to a local Wawa where instead of "Merry Christmas" you'll get "Happy Holidays" as you finish paying for your coffee. The list is endless. As I was ready to leave with my wife, I walked over to the young woman, who was chatting it up with her three girlfriends. I had two words to say to her. Merry Christmas.

Danny Faulkner -25 Years Without Justice While Mumia Stays Cozy

It's a cold day here in the Philly burbs, and as I sit here I am reminded of what happened 25 years ago today. Wesley Cook, a.k.a. Mumia Abu Jamal Murdered Officer Daniel Faulkner in cold blood. I will not give Mumia or his supporters the time of day; suffice to say that it would be a disservice to the Faulkner family. I knew Danny's brother Kenny, and talked with him at length about his brother’s murder. Kenny passed away without seeing justice served as in Mumia being executed.

Some may respond to this post as being racist. The only thing racist here is that certain groups labeled the trial that a long time ago and continue to support a murderer. PERIOD.

FACT: Wesley Cook (a.k.a. Mumia Abu Jamal) shot Officer Daniel Faulkner, killing him.
FACT: Wesley Cook (a.k.a. Mumia Abu Jamal) was CONVICTED of this murder.
FACT: Wesley Cook (a.k.a. Mumia Abu Jamal) will die someday, and he will be judged by God and sentenced to rot in hell for the rest of eternity.

R.I.P. Danny and Kenny.

Delaware County Singles

About 2 years ago I started a Singles Group on Yahoo called "Delco Singles". I started it after a frined of mine told me that She was tired of the bar scene and fed up with men there buying her drinks and expecting something in return. She also tried match.com and yahoo personals, to no avail. Lately the group has been seeing some action, but I guess people are gun shy or something. Anyway, if you are single and interested in joining, the link to the Delaware County Singles Group is right here - Delco Singles Cheers.

The Bombing of Pearl Harbor

Things I find on the net sometimes can overwhelm me. Read on. On 7 December 1941 the greatest disaster in United States history occurred. Truly this was and is, “’A date which will live in infamy.’”(Costello 1), but not for the bombing of Pearl Harbor, rather for the deception and the mis-guidance used by the Government and Franklin D. Roosevelt. In a purely artificial chess game Roosevelt sacrificed over 2400 American Seamen’s lives, thanks to his power as Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces. By over-looking the obvious facts of an attack by Japan on Pearl Harbor, Roosevelt was able to control both the political and economic systems of the United States. Most of American society before the Pearl Harbor bombing believed in the idea of isolationism. Franklin D. Roosevelt knew this, and knew the only way in which United States countrymen would take arms and fight in Europe’s War was to be an overt action against the United States by a member of the Axis Power. Roosevelt also believed Hitler would not declare war on the United States unless he knew they were beatable. There are numerous accounts of actions by Roosevelt and his top armed forces advisors, which reveal they were not only aware of an attack by Japan, but also they were planning on it, and instigating that attack. On 7 October 1940, Lieutenant Commander Arthur H. McCollum, head of the Far East desk of the Office of Naval Intelligence, wrote the eight-action memo. This memo outlined eight different steps the United States could do that he predicted would lead to an attack by Japan on the United States. The day after this memo was giving to Franklin D. Roosevelt, he began to implement these steps. By the time that Japan finally attacked the United States at Pearl Harbor on 7 December 1941, all eight steps had occurred (Willy 1). The eight steps consisted of two main subject areas; the first being a sign of United States military preparedness and threat of attack, the second being a forceful control on Japans trade and economy. The main subject area of the eight-action memo was the sign of United States military preparedness and threat of attack. McCollum called for the United States to make arrangements with both Britain (Action A) and Holland (Action B), for the use of military facilities and acquisition of supplies in both Singapore and Indonesia. He also suggested for the deployment of a division of long-range heavy cruisers (Action D) and two divisions of submarines (Action E) to the Orient. The last key factor McCollum called for was to keep the United States Fleet in the vicinity of the Hawaiian Islands (Action F). Roosevelt personally took charge of Action’s D and E; these actions were called “pop up” cruises. Roosevelt had this to say about the cruises, “’I just want them to keep popping up here and there and keep the Japs guessing (Stinnett 9).’” With the fleet located around Hawaii and particularly in Pearl Harbor a double-sided sword was created; it allowed for quicker deployment times into South Pacific Water, but more importantly it lacked many fundamental military needs, and was vulnerable due to its geographic location. To understand the true vulnerability of Pearl Harbor one must look at Oahu, the Hawaiian Island that the military base is located. The North part of the island is all mountains, these mountains hinder the vision of military look out points, making an attack from the North virtually a surprise until the sound of fighter planes are over head. There were many key military needs that were missing from Pearl Harbor, and they were; a lack of training facilities, lack of large-scale ammunition and fuel supplies, lack of support craft such as tugs and repair ships, and a lack of overhaul facilities such as dry-docking and machine shops. Commander in Chief, United States Fleet - Admiral James O. Richardson, was outraged when he was told by President Roosevelt of his plans on keeping the fleet in Hawaiian Waters. Richardson knew of the problems and vulnerability of Pearl Harbor, the safety of his men and warships was paramount. In a luncheon with Roosevelt, Richardson confronted the President, and by doing so ended his military career. Four months later Richardson was removed as commander-in-chief, and replaced by Rear Admiral Husband Kimmel (Stinnett 11). Kimmel by many top Naval personal was looked down upon on, for taking orders from Roosevelt and not considering the immediate dangers he was putting the fleet in. The second part of McCollum’s eight-action memo was a forceful control on Japans trade and economy. He insisted that the Dutch refuse to grant Japanese demands for oil (Action G), and a complete embargo of all trade with Japan (Action H), by the United States. This embargo closely represented a similar embargo that was being imposed by the British Empire. McCollum also knew that if Japan controlled the Pacific, it would put a strain on America’s resources for copper, rubber, tin, and other valuable goods. These imports from the Pacific were all essential to America’s Economy, and to protect these trading routes McCollum insisted for all possible aid to be given to the Chinese government of Chiang Kai-shek (Action C). Japan had some control over China due to a military operation, which took over part of the country. Thanks to the control, Japan took and used many raw goods from China that were not in abundance in their own homeland. The government of Chiang Kai-shek was completely against Japan, and with economic support from the United States, they were able to deny certain possessions from Japan. The United States Government and United States Navy by withholding important information about the bombing of Pearl Harbor have done everything they can do to protect the integrity of President Franklin D. Roosevelt and the government. True nationalist believe this information is withheld from the general public in order to protect national security, and not to hide a conspiracy that was created by the United States Government some fifty years ago. This school of thought asks people and wants them to think, “How in the world could the President of the United States sacrifice over 2400 American seamen’s life’s, horrific amounts of damages to the Fleet, and tremendous amounts of destruction to Army fighter planes?” This group also asks, “In the past fifty years why has there not be one single piece of hard evidence which links Roosevelt to Pearl Harbor, or why has there not been one person who had top security clearance to come out and say something about Roosevelt and his involvement with the bombing?” On 5 December 1941 at a Cabinet meeting, Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox said, “Well, you know Mr. President, we know where the Japanese fleet is?” “Yes, I know, …Well, you tell them what it is Frank,” said Roosevelt (Toland 294). Knox became extremely excited with the ok from Roosevelt, and he went to tell the group of where the Japanese were and where they were headed. Just as Knox was about to speak Roosevelt interrupted saying, “ We haven’t got anything like perfect information as to their apparent destination (Toland 294).” All Navy reports showed the Japanese were in Pacific Water, and were in a direction towards Hawaii and Pearl Harbor. Roosevelt knew this information, but one must wonder why in the world would he not want to tell his cabinet this information, unless he wanted to hide something? On 6 December 1941 at a White House dinner Roosevelt was given the first thirteen parts of a fifteen part decoded Japanese diplomatic declaration of war and said, “This means War (Toland 318).” Later that night, Roosevelt along with top advisor Harry Hopkins, Henry Stimson, George Marshall, Secretary of the Navy Knox, with aides John McCrea and Frank Beatty deliberately sat through the night waiting for the Japanese to strike Pear Harbor (Toland 320). Not until the morning of 7 December 1941 at 7:55 Hawaii Time did Japan deliberately and forcefully attack the United States at Pearl Harbor, finally ending disillusioned isolationist ideas of an only European War. United States countrymen immediately ran to recruiting offices after the news of the attack, to join the armed forces and fight against the Japanese and Hitler. Beyond a doubt Pearl Harbor was President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s back door into the European War. Roosevelt’s decisions and actions were very much so, deliberate and calculated, in order to lead a victorious Allied Powers in World War II. By provoking the Japanese and the foreknowledge of an attack on Pearl Harbor, Roosevelt along with his top advisors and the Federal Government are truly to blame for the lost of American life’s and American property. 7 December 1941 shall be a day in American history, which will be remembered as “a day of deceit.” Works Cited Costello, John.

Stalin, who was our partner during the war, was even more vicious and tyrannical than Hitler. Was it to stop the aggression of the Japanese? Before the war, this country did everything it could to give Japan no choice and goad them into waging war. Roosevelt was a 33rd degree mason. That is the highest level one can attain in the satanic Masonic order. One of objectives of the lucifer worshipping Masonic order is to establish a one world government. After World War I these people tried, and failed, to start a one world government organization, The League of Nations. Realizing they would need another world war to finally create such an organization, they manipulated world events, started and won World War II, and created the United Nations, the tool for the final phase of one world government.

Taking Away Our Guns?

I just was reading an article in the Delaware County Sunday Times where Mike Chitwood had a sobriety checkpoint set up on the border between West Philly and Millbourne. He had over 30 officers from various locales, as far away as Brookhaven. Mr. Chitwood is quoted as saying: " One guy had two guns, a .45 and 9 mm." "He was ready for war. We're keeping the guns even though he has a permit to carry". My question is: What right does Chief Chitwood have in doing this? The guy had a permit, yet they "Confiscated" his firearms. Is the "right to bear arms" null and void in Upper Darby?

Delaware County Real Estate - Time To Sell?

I was wondering just what it would take to have my web site listed in the Delaware County Real Estate journal. Currently I provide a link to one Real Estate agency. There is a housing bubble that is about to burst according to the experts. So what does this mean? Will it be like is was in 1994 when I offered a man 98K for a Westbrook row with a big back yard, only to be refused and 14 months later he sold it for 78K? In a sense I want the housing bubble to burst. It will mean lots of homes here in Delco for cheap. Only problem is having the capital to buy them. I want to own my own home. Not spend a grand a month to rent one while maintaining it to boot. In other news, the Eagles are playing tonight. 20 bucks says they get thier butts kicked. Any takers? I thought so...

They Call Me Agent Fran

Well not really. But I just took the CIA's new online test. According to the results I am a "Thoughtful Observer". Some myths about the CIA are posted below. At the CIA, the challenges of today’s fast-paced global changes present opportunities for exceptional careers. Our intelligence mission is the work of the nation — and our success depends on a network of professionals around the world. Myth 1-You’ll Never See Your Family and Friends Again. The work we do may be secret, but that doesn’t mean your life will be. Because the variety of CIA careers is similar to that of any major corporation. So… your friends and family will still be part of your life. Myth 2-Everyone Drives a Sports Car with Machine Guns in the Tailpipes. Car chases through the alleyways of a foreign city are common on TV, but they’re not what a CIA career is about. And, they don’t compare with the reality of being part of worldwide intelligence operations supporting a global mission. Myth 3-You Have to be Superhuman in Every Way. You don’t have to know karate or look good in a tuxedo to work at the CIA. But you must possess a deep intellect, the ability to make good decisions and a dedication to serving America through the collection of intelligence. Myth 4-A Glamorous Lifestyle Awaits You. Working at the CIA doesn’t mean you’ll be jet-setting around the globe, attending parties with billionaires and showing off your Tango skills. In reality, we depend on administrative managers and staff for our operational success, at home and abroad. Myth 5-Hardly Anyone Ever Makes it Through the Background Check. Because of our national security role, CIA applicants must meet specific qualifications — but, don’t worry. Getting caught smoking in high school isn’t enough to disqualify you. Your intellect, skills, experience and desire to serve the nation are most important to us. Take the test and post your results below. Cheers.
