Politicians learned decades ago that they could tax and regulate certain filmmakers.  The problem is that too many bureaucrats and cops don’t know or understand the law.  The First Amendment absolutely protects anyone involved with news or opinion publishing and broadcasting.   That of course includes those publishing and posting various forms of media on the web.  They cannot regulate home video projects not intended for profit either. The permit laws can only apply to commercial projects such as entertainment films or commercials.  If you’re gathering news video or B-roll and some officious jerk demands to see your film permit you can tell him it’s at the very top of the Bill of Rights .  If he still has questions tell him to visit his local library to read a copy.  Of course you should tell him your gathering news material but you need not tell him anything about the news story your working on. They may even try to bully ...

Amsterdam, NL —Okay, I’m obsessed!  I love the arts, theater and of course, music.   There are those artists that entertain us all.   God given talent and the ability to face the world and perform seems to be handed to a chosen few.  Carice van Houten is at the very top of my list of terrific performers. Yes, people are born with talent but without hard work and serious dedication it may all be wasted.  Carice has incredible acting chops, best described by film director Paul Verhoeven .   Vehoeven said, “Carice is beautiful like Sharon Stone (Basic Instinct), but she can act!”  This was not really a slight to Stone’s ability but his recognition that Carice has a rare and special magic.   I certainly don’t discount Verhoeven’s ability to get all that an actor can possibly give in a performance. To give a great performance an actor must forget the cameras, audience and simply put aside their ego.  They must actu...

Los Angeles, CA —I have to admit it I enjoy watching the original Two and a Half Men Show a lot.  It is filled with references to Charlie Sheen’s lust for sex, drugs, rock and roll.  There is no sexual subject off limits in this masterpiece of satire.  Is this really an icon of our moral decay?  I don’t think so.  Unless of course you take the story’s line too seriously. To understand the world we live in these racy subjects should not be off limits but perhaps displayed as an example of the irreverence, excess and self-destruction.  The show’s characters are all flawed and dysfunctional.  This is comedy and all comedy is born of pain.  We laugh as these fictional people are put through their paces.  We can’t take this show seriously because it’s fiction and fantasy. It’s a vehicle for us to put aside our own misfortunes or challenges and laugh at the show’s humor. From time to time I’d considered the lad Angus T. Jone s who ...

Cook County State's Attorney Anita Alvarez's efforts to protect tyranny were defeated in the US Supreme Court. Washington, DC—The State of Illinois had a so-called Anti-Eavesdropping   Law .  It barred the recording of any conversations without the consent of all parties.  A violation of this law was a serious felony that could put violators in prison for up to 15 years.  Today, tyranny was defeated because that law is dead.   Perhaps now, The Truth Will Set You Free! The intent of the law was in itself disingenuous or downright nefarious.  As we all know, the truth can be very dangerous.  Illinois politicians made sure that that the truth could never be used against them.  This was their response to the burgeoning use of tape recorders in the 1950s.  Politicians bribery and extortion activities were being exposed by the devices and the law would bar the use of the recordings as evidence against them.   They more properly ...

Sheila Schultz was unable to smile for this  police Booking Photo Chicago, IL —Friday morning seemed like it was just another beginning of a long flight for Sheila Schultz , 65.  You see Schultz is a 44 year-veteran flight attendant for American Airlines and on this day she was headed for Shanghai, China.  At O'Hare International Airport Schultz placed her carryon bag on a TSA inspection conveyer belt as she always does since privacy invasion by government became a way of life in this nation.  Now any fool would know that the TSA wienies are going to x-ray her bag for anything resembling a weapon.  Smuggling a weapon in a carryon bag simply would not work. When Schultz’s bag was being screened, as was fully expected, unfortunately a handgun was discovered.  Without much fanfare the TSA wienies who have no police training or arrest powers took control over the bag and called the police. The “Zero Tolerance” policy kicked into high gear....

Phoenix, AZ —As Americans travel for family get-togethers much more than their dignity, privacy and liberty are at stake.  The abusive TSA has cost the airlines millions of lost passengers and staggering revenue.  Particularly on trips of less that 800 miles people will drive just to avoid being insulted, groped and otherwise victimized by the TSA workers. Highway deaths because of millions of additional cars clogging our highways have skyrocketed.  It has been estimated that at least 500 additional deaths happen now every year.  That does not count the thousands who are only maimed or the massive property damage. The TSA has hired every unskilled, unemployable or mentally defective person they could.  They have placed these pathetic souls into police costumes and let them run wild groping our genitals.  They for the most part TSA workers escape accountability for their rudeness and endless missteps. We can either stop the TSA or allow ...

I know millions of Americans have taken to the road this holiday weekend to escape TSA tyranny. That means we must all drive safely so we may enjoy this great day with our families and friends. I’d like to wish all my friends and visitors a very Happy Thanksgiving with lots of those wonderful calories! Paul

Jimmy Harris (Chicago Police Booking Photo) Chicago, IL —The Windy City is under siege.  Tourists, residents and workers are constantly under attack by violent predators.  The victims are almost exclusively White.  The predators are exclusively African-American.  Chicago has been a breeding ground for a bankrupt, dangerous and violent culture that has devoured African-Americans. Let me make myself clear.  This is not about genetic deficiencies or the color of skin.  This is about a culture that was adopted, nurtured and encouraged over many generations.   This was and is simply just another diabolical and insidious form genocide designed to destroy the Black race. Chicago’s politicians here have created this culture by encouraging African Americans to remain ignorant, totally dependent and completely void of any family values.   Through entitlements, tolerance of violence, generally bad behavior and acceptance of educati...

Oakland, CA —TV news crews here are making news themselves, as victims of stunning and violent crimes.  Additionally tens of thousands of dollars with of equipment is gone. Recently in probably what’s become the most hostile African-American enclave in America the local savages have brazenly attacked and terrorized TV news crews even during live broadcasts.   The thugs have taken, cameras, broadcast equipment, cell phones, laptops and cash from reporters and photographers at gunpoint. One such armed robbery of a TV news crew happened in broad daylight right in front of a public school!  Now it’s being reported that some Bay videographers are simply refusing to do stories in Oakland because they are in fear for their lives.  I suspect this incredibly violent trend will soon take root in every major city.  This dangerous craze will eventually end in murders.  Nobody in the mainstream media will dare report the truth about the African-A...

 Arnold Schwarzenegger seen here congratulating Sergio Oliva who just beat him for the Mr. Olympia Title. Chicago, IL —In the early 1970’s a Cuban expatriate found employment as a physical fitness instructor for the Chicago Police Department .  He was a natural for the position but what he really wanted more than anything was to be a Chicago cop. Sergio Oliva was beyond happy to live in free America where he competed in bodybuilding championships.  In 1969 he beat out a slightly more famous immigrant named Arnold Schwarzenegger for the title of Mr. Olympia. Sergio had to work hard enough to learn how to read and write English as he prepared for the Chicago police civil service examination.  He passed however some say he got extra help from above on that one.  He entered the Chicago Police Academy at 720 West O’Brien Street on 26 April 1976.   Sergio immediately had problems with both his kaki recruit uniform and later th...

San Pedro, Belize —In this exotic nation there is a dangerous manhunt going on. They’re looking for software anti-virus genius John McAfee .  An American  expatriate   Gregory Faul l was found shot to death here.  Police are calling this death a murder and have launched the desperate search for McAfee as their suspect. There are several reports that McAfee has been involved with using various drug including bath salts.  Apparently he also likes firearms.  This may be a bad combination but this does not make him or anyone else a killer.   Those reports could also be a bunch of lies.  McAfee needs a lawyer to arrange his surrender if he’s not able to escape and seek refuge somewhere that does not have an extradition treaty with Belize.   Dead men can’t talk and suspects too often can’t wait to tell authorities excuses, lies or even the truth that gets used against them later.  McAfee must not discuss details or possible alib...

Amsterdam, N L—The incredibly talented actress Carice van Houten is apparently at an impasse in her life whether to continue acting or to take on a singing career.   At this juncture she’s told several publications that she’s having more fun singing.  She’s about to give her first concert with Rufus Wainright later this month in this beautiful city of the Dutch Masters.  Van Houten is a terrific actress that has not really gotten a solid foothold in the U.S.  The Paul Verhoeven film, Black Book showcased the actress’ beauty and many talents.  The problem was the film was mostly in Dutch and subtitled.  It did not get the kind of distribution and promotion it deserved.  Of course in Europe it was a genuine hit.  For me personally, it was the best film I’ve seen to date. Van Houten was given the role of Nina Von Stauffenberg in the film Valkyrie starring Tom Cruiz.   Unfortunately Valkyrie’s producers and writers did not ...

Where is Paula Broadwell?  Is she in mortal danger tonight? Washington, DC —By comparison Nixon’s Watergate scandal is small potatoes.  The Benghazi terror attack cover-up is far worse.  Today General David Petraeus resigned as director of the CIA in the nick of time to avoid giving sworn testimony before Congress on Monday. We must remember that former President Bill Clinton is the modern standard for high-level adultery.  An intern, Monica Lewinski on company time, was servicing him as he conducted high-level business on the telephone in the Oval Office.  He was not forced to resign even after giving perjured testimony at a sworn deposition.   The woman who knows all is Paula Broadwel l and she is now far away from members of the press who are stalking her.   She is in extreme danger in my opinion.  They will either bribe anyone into silence or kill anyone they fear will blab.  Paula Broadwell needs to be located a...

Former Congresswoman Gabby Gifforrds leaving the Tucson federal courthouse. Tucson, AZ —Our American founding fathers never considered the need for what we call Victim’s Rights.  Anyone accused of a crime has real rights that must be protected.  This is obviously to prevent wrongful convictions.  It’s also to prevent government officials from targeting people for persecution for any number of nefarious reasons. When we become victimized by a criminal act it is expected that we have a desire to exact revenge and show hatred against the offender.   The more serious the offense the more hate and anger is expressed by the victim and of course their family and friends. We hold the accused to account in our criminal trials.  In a criminal trial a victim was never intended to be anything more than a witness.  Witnesses really don’t need any special rights of any kind.  Their job is to simply testify truthfully. The victim is never allowe...

I seriously want to find employment in Germany, The Netherlands or Switzerland.  If I found employment I’d relocate in a heartbeat.  Anything in film making, journalism, tourism, firearms training, security and investigation would be just fine.  I happen to speak German fairly well.  If any of my readers have any ideas for me please leave a comment.  Don’t worry I won’t publish them so leave me contact information. I will continue my blog of course unless it somehow interferes.   

Washington, DC —Hope and change has become spite and revenge.   Obama will be settling scores with the Liberals that have abandoned his campaign or turned on him like Oprah .  Now Obama has nothing to lose.  It won’t be pretty. Make no mistake I hate the outcome of this election.  Millions of votes were stolen simply because we can’t seem to require voters to actually identify themselves.  Americans serving in our armed forces have seen their votes entirely removed from the election through purposeful error.   Our elections have been rigged for decades by the political left. This nation is divided into two groups productive slaves and non-productive slave owners.  The slaves can continue with their bondage or resist and break out.   Will we begin see tax revolts, sabotage of government agencies, property and programs that victimize the slaves?  Just what kind of a backlash can we expect?  That remains to be...

Actual L.A. County Ballot Measure Los Angeles, CA —In the not so Golden State they over-regulate everything to death.  You must first obtain a special license here just to clip your own toenails. Now they want to regulate the forced use of condoms for porn films.  If this is put forward they will need a new army of Porn Film Inspectors with police powers.  I want this new job!  Perhaps I should supervise all of the, girl on girl productions.  I view this is just one more example of why film makers have run away from California making films anywhere but L.A.

Washington, DC —The Obama Administration has been mired in preparations and protocol for interning millions of American under the NDAA and other outrageous programs.  Dealing with a natural disaster was obviously just not a priority.   The Obama Administration had a week’s warning and could have begun assembling massive amounts of drinking water, food and fuel for swift movement to any affected areas.  Nothing began until well over eight million people had no power, drinking water, food, prescription drugs or communication from the outside world.   Only then were efforts made to locate and distribute emergency provisions.  Unforgivably and incredibly it was all too little and too late. Obama came in for political campaign photo opportunities and quickly beat it back to battleground campaigning states.  The political Left gushed over the skinny Black President hugging the chubby White New Jersey Governor during their Love-In .  Tha...

Susan Murphy Milano Chicago, IL—Susan Murphy Milano was on a mission.  She was a rabid advocate for battered women.  This woman had to deal with her father, a decorated Chicago police detective murdering her mother and then taking his own life.  That life-changing event put her in a new direction as an outspoken anti-domestic violence advocate. Murphy Milano lobbied for gun control and punitive domestic violence laws.  She became a master of Social Media with a blog and Internet radio program.  She also had limited success as a book author. Rather than sit it out on the sidelines Murphy Milano was out making herself heard. I was very much at odds with her positions with respect to liberty and due process. A few years ago Murphy Milano wanted to take me on publically with her Internet radio program. I’m a fierce and prolific debater on the opposite nearly every issue she advocated.  I turned down her request for the wrong reasons. ...
