Chicago, IL—They did it again. Illinois’ political imbeciles ignored the constitution and enacted yet another unenforceable gun law. Of course they had to pass the new law on the back of some poster child victim and this time it’s murdered Chicago police officer, Alejandro Valadez.
It was bad enough for the young cop to be murdered but to then use him for political gain is an outrage.
The law seems simple enough on its face, enhanced prison time for a “known gang member” caught with a loaded gun.
The problems are twofold. One is that Americans have a right to belong to whatever groups they want and that’s protected by our First Amendment. Secondly possession of firearms is an individual right all Americans enjoy unless they have forfeited that right by possession of the weapon after they’ve been convicted of a felony.
There is already a federal law that calls for a ten year prison term for convicted felons and a concurrent state law that calls for five. Those laws are rarely enforced and those involved in crimes use the laws for plea bargain leverage.
They threw a victim party so the politicians included a pathetic State’s Attorney, Anita Alvarez and Mayor Richard M. Daley so they could get some face time before the TV cameras.
I can only wonder how these jerks could keep a straight face while they praised this new law pretending like it’s a new tool to fight gang violence when they know better.
I don’t know too many responsible Chicago gun owners that belong to gangs. The guns may be banned in Chicago but most owners are law abiding, since the gun bans are nothing more than outlaw infringements and a violation of the owner’s civil rights.
I guess this must be filed under political propaganda, wasted tax dollars and a way for the ignorant to feel good.
Munich, Germany—Sophie Scholl, a German girl of 21 became an unlikely hero along with fellow students after they became aware of Nazi atrocities. During military service the young men in the group known as the White Rose had personally observed mass murders of Russian POWs and Jews.
These brave kids knew their duty to their fellow countrymen was to stop Aldolph Hitler and National Socialism. Their weapon was a primitive mimeograph machine that enabled them to crank out several thousand leaflets. They mailed and distributed their information wherever they could.
Their effort ended when Hans Scholl and Sophie Scholl were caught at their university distributing leaflets. Later, young Christop Probst was entangled into the Gestapo investigation.
The kids were arrested and the White Rose was smashed but not silenced. A trial was held and presided over by infamous Nazi Judge, Roland Freisler. Freisler was A Communist who converted to National Socialism. This fiend in a judicial robe sought to prove his worthiness to Hitler’s criminal regime by sending over 5,000 Germans to their death for resisting Nazi tyranny.
The solid history lesson of the White Rose is, that the German people were indeed kept in the dark about the lawless campaign of genocide and other inhumane acts under Adolph Hitler’s absolute rule. The martyrs of The White Rose gave their lives informing the public. The Nazi government castigated these kids as liars and traitors. Other believed members of The White Rose were rounded up and imprisoned or executed later.
This 2005 film is awesome! It stars Julia Jentsch in the lead role and she is amazing along with the rest of this great cast. The costumes and total recreation of this true, compelling and heartbreaking story were flawless. The film is subtitled in English. Get the film from Netflix or wherever you can.
Seattle, WA—SWAT teams have surrounded a home in Seattle's Leschi district at East Yesler Way and 32nd Avenue South where Maurice Clemmons, the man sought by police for questioning in the Lakewood police shooting, is believed to be hiding.
The entire area has been shut down by police. Presently there is an armored vehicle and cops are attempting communication with Maurice Clemmons with a loud speaker.
Shots have been heard along with grenade reports.
According to information police obtained from a relative Clemmons is suffering from a gunshot wound. It was believed that the killer may have himself been shot during the assault.
It certainly looks like we may soon see a climax to this sad event.
Tacoma, WA.--Those murdered officers were identified as Sgt. Mark Renninger, 39, and officersRonald Owens, 37, Tina Griswold, 40, and Gregory Richards, 42
This morning’s cold blood attack and murders of four uniformed Lakewood,WA police officers in Tacoma, Washington are a clear message that our homegrown Muslim terrorists can be expected to act out with extreme and pointless violence.
It’s really very simple, many Muslims are on a mission from God to kill us all.
They know that most every shopping mall in America is protected by untrained and unarmed guards. They also know that malls in many cities are so called “Gun Free Zones”. The unarmed guards no protection whatsoever.
Personally I do my Christmas shopping on line. But sometimes you may feel the need to visit a mall. If you must, bring a gun and extra ammunition as a prophylactic measure. At least you may have a fighting chance if the unthinkable happens.
I will tell you to ignore gun laws since our Constitution allows us not only the right to keep arms but to bear them too. If you do become involved with the police for any reason don’t talk to the police without a lawyer present.
Tacoma, WA—The Forza Coffee Shop near McChord Air Force Base was the scene of cowardly attack where at least two Male, Black suspects opened fire and killed four Lakewood police officers who were working on their lap tops and having coffee prior to reporting for duty around 8:30 AM.
At least one of the dead Lakewood officers is a woman.
The suspect/s fled and Pierce County Sheriff’s deputys have taken jurisdiction of the crime scene.
A manhunt for the killers is underway and a $10,00 reward for information leading to the suspects was immediately offered. People with information should contact authorities at 253-591-5959.
Update: Police now believe there was only one gunman. They are looking for a career criminal and mental defective but are not yet calling him a suspect. They also beliebe that the gunman may have been wounded by the return fire of one of the dead officers.
Maurice Clemmons, man wanted for questioning, has long criminal history By Seattle Times staff
Maurice Clemmons, the 37-year-old Tacoma man being sought for questioning in the killing of four Lakewood police officers this morning, has a long criminal record punctuated by violence, erratic behavior and concerns about his mental health.
Nine years ago, then-Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee granted clemency to Clemmons, commuting his lengthy prison sentence over the protests of prosecutors.
"This is the day I've been dreading for a long time," Larry Jegley, prosecuting attorney for Arkansas' Pulaski County said Sunday night when informed that Clemmons was being sought in connection to the killings.
Clemmons' criminal history includes at least five felony convictions in Arkansas and at least eight felony charges in Washington. The record also stands out for the number of times he has been released from custody despite questions about the danger he posed.
Clemmons had been in jail in Pierce County for the past several months on a pending charge of second-degree rape of a child.
He was released from custody just six days ago, even though he was wanted on a fugitive warrant out of Arkansas and was staring at eight felony charges in all out of Washington state.
Clemmons posted $15,000 with a Chehalis company called Jail Sucks Bail Bonds. The bondsman, in turn, put up $150,000, securing Clemmons' release on the pending child-rape charge.
Clemmons lives in Tacoma, where he has run a landscaping and power-washing business out of his house, according to a police interview with his wife earlier this year.
He was married, but the relationship was tumultuous, with accounts of his unpredictable behavior leading to at least two confrontations with police earlier this year.
During the confrontation in May, Clemmons punched a sheriff's deputy in the face, according to court records. As part of that incident, he was charged with seven counts of assault and malicious mischief.
In another instance, Clemmons was accused of gathering his wife and young relatives around at 3 or 4 in the morning and having them all undress. He told them that families need to "be naked for at least 5 minutes on Sunday," a Pierce County sheriff's report says.
"The whole time Clemmons kept saying things like trust him, the world is going to end soon, and that he was Jesus," the report says.
As part of the child-rape investigation, the sheriff's office interviewed Clemmons' sister in May. She told them that "Maurice is not in his right mind and did not know how he could react when contacted by Law Enforcement," a sheriff's report says.
"She stated that he was saying that the secret service was coming to get him because he had written a letter to the President. She stated his behavior has become unpredictable and erratic. She suspects he is having a mental breakdown," the report says.
Deputies also interviewed other family members. They reported that Clemmons had been saying he could fly and that he expected President Obama to visit to "confirm that he is Messiah in the flesh."
Prosecutors in Pierce County were sufficiently concerned about Clemmons' mental health that they asked to have him evaluated at Western State Hospital. Earlier this month, on Nov. 6, a psychologist concluded that Clemmons was competent to stand trial on the child-rape and other felony charges, according to court records.
Clemmons moved Washington in 2004, after being released from prison in Arkansas, state Department of Corrections records indicate. That would mean he had gone five years or so before landing in serious trouble with authorities here, according to a review of his criminal record.
Clemmons started Sea-Wash Pressure Washing Landscaping with his wife, Nicole Smith, in October 2005. The license for the business expired last month.
Long history of trouble in Arkansas
News accounts out of Arkansas offer a confusing — and, at times, conflicting — description of Clemmons' criminal history and prison time.
In 1990, Clemmons, then 18, was sentenced in Arkansas to 60 years in prison for burglary and theft of property, according to a news account. Newspaper stories describe a series of disturbing incidents involving Clemmons while he was being tried in Arkansas on various charges.
During one trial, Clemmons was shackled in leg irons and seated next to a uniformed officer. The presiding judge ordered the extra security because he felt Clemmons had threatened him, court records show.
Another time, Clemmons hid a hinge in his sock, and was accused of intending to use it as a weapon. Yet another time, Clemmons took a lock from a holding cell, and threw it toward the bailiff. He missed and instead hit Clemmons' mother, who had come to bring him street clothes, according to records and published reports.
On another occasion, Clemmons had reached for a guard's pistol during transport to the courtroom.
When Clemmons received the 60-year sentence, he was already serving 48 years on five felony convictions and facing up to 95 more years on charges of robbery, theft of property and possessing a handgun on school property. Records from Clemmons' sentencing described him as 5-foot-7 and 108 pounds. The crimes were committed when he was 17.
Clemmons served 11 years before being released.
News accounts say Huckabee then commuted Clemmons' sentence, citing Clemmons' young age at the time the crimes were committed.
But Clemmons remained on parole — and soon after landed in trouble again. In March 2001, he was accused of violating his parole by committing aggravated robbery and theft, according to a story in the Arkansas Democrat-Gazzette.
He was returned to prison on a parole violation. But in what appears to have been a mistake, Clemmons was not actually served with the arrest warrants until leaving prison three years later. As a result, Clemmons' attorney argued that the charges should be dismissed because too much time had passed. Prosecutors dropped the charges.
It appears that Clemmons remained in trouble with Arkansas authorities even after moving away. This year, while Clemmons was living in Washington, a warrant was issued for his arrest, accusing him of being a fugitive from Arkansas.
More home grown Muslim Terrorists? We will soon find out.
They now call it Climategate. The bogus theory that the earth is in real danger and that global warming will bring doomsday. That is unless we earthlings throw away billions in cash and give up energy consumption, planes, trains and automobiles.
This pseudo-science is the darling of the left wing American politicians. This really ties into the larger consorted revolutionary effort to make America weak and incapable of stopping the in-progress Communist takeover.
I don’t suggest for a second that limiting pollution, and looking for renewable energy sources is not important for our quality of life. We simply need to exterminate Green politics for the unworthy distraction it has become.
Imagine being a young man who answers a military recruiting poster, goes off to training, combat and follows orders. That sounds so patriotic and wholesome. That is until the government you serve is later found to be a criminal enterprise.
That’s exacting what happened to Heinrich Boere. Boere was living in s suffering economy and needed a job with a future. The lad would also would win a snappy new uniform the young ladies would admire him for wearing. Of 100 applicants, only Boere and 14 others were selected.
That was back in the Nazi occupied Netherlands in 1940. Among the the promise to the new recruits was that they would earn German citizenship and a chance to become a police officer after military service. That was not a bad deal considering he’d be well fed during a difficult economy.
Boere won a coveted spot in a Waffen SS unit. Among his known assignments were, the killing of three Dutch civilians involved in resistance activities. Boere carried out his duty faithfully. Being a soldier and doing your duty in time of war is never fun. You must risk your own life while you’re expected to take other’s lives.
The war ended and the new world authority vested in the USSR, United Kingdom, France and The USA began searching for and punishing various agents of Boere’s fallen government.
Soon Boere was arrested, tried and received a death sentence that was latter reduced to life imprisonment. Boere somehow managed to escape that Netherlands POW camp and flee to Germany. After successfully hiding for nearly seven decades, Boere found himself again arrested, and on trial this time in Aachen, Germany.
So far these are some of the facts that were revealed at Boere’s trial. The trial is in recess until it resumes on December 2. Boere faces the rest of his life in a German prison.
Being an American soldier, cop, judge or other public official does not excuse conduct that one day may be judged by others. The defense of, “I was only following orders.” was shot down by the Nuremberg War Crimes Trial precedent. Today that is the law of the so-called, Free World.
For over 230 years our lawmakers have made law after law to regulate and control Americans. Today our government is so over-grown and bloated, few Americans can escape a day in the People’s Court anymore. It may be technical violations of obscure laws or modern robot cameras bringing more and more Americans before our courts.
Our courts have become a source of government operating revenue and they have gotten way out-of-control.
The kindly and seemingly wise Judge Joe Wapner or that somewhat sexy Judge Marilyn Milian are the exception for the American judiciary. Unfortunately, many wise and wonderful lawyers ascend to the bench only to become pompous asses.
We have too many laws and too many exceptions to our Constitutional rights that have been made by lawmakers and our Supreme Court. We lose more freedom and liberty every day that we live.
We have to demand that our judges be reasonable or risk our courts engaging in wholesale tyranny.
More and more American judges have taken on the persona of Judge Roland Freisler. Had Freisler not been killed in an allied bombing raid that hit his courtroom he would have made the “A” list of celebrity defendants at the Nuremberg War Crimes trial. Freisler presided over the trials of over 5,000 people in Germany charged with offenses as trivial as speaking out against the Nazi regime to distant or close involvement with plots to kill Adolph Hitler. Freisler’s verdicts and punishments all ended in execution. But because these killing was all sanctioned by a court, it gave the appearance of due process.
See and hear Hitler’s most notorious jurist in action:
Washington, DC—After a disastrous eight years of George W. Bush (of Course his Democrat opponents were horrible too) Liberal Americans bought into the Hope & Change campaign of a mysterious fellow, Barack Obama who has accomplished little other than getting elected.
Those Liberal Obama supporters all wanted:
1. Our troops out of Iraq 2. Our troops out of Afghanistan 3. The insidious and evil Patriot Act repealed 4. The right of Gays to marry 5. To believe Obama's promises of Government Transparency 6. To believe Obama's promises that no American earning less than $250.000 per year not see their taxes increase by a single dime 7. An end the barbaric and unnecessary federal death penalty
Of course Obama has done nothing his Liberal supporters had hoped for.
Obama’s supporters really did not want and were less concerned about:
1. The Cap and Trade Taxation Scam 2. Nationalization of American businesses 3. The Hostile government takeover of health care 4. The cozying up with hard corps foreign Communist leaders 5. Destroying our National Defense CIA Intelligence program 6. Demoralizing American soldiers in harm’s way 7. Allowing Chinese and Russian officials access to our nuclear facilities 8. The runaway printing of money and the destruction of American currency 9. Moving dangerous foreign terrorists to American soil and providing free lawyers and all rights reserved for accused Americans 10. The control over media and their commentary
Even with a stacked Congressional deck of a super majority, Barack Obama has not given his Liberal supporters anything they hoped for.
Barack Obama has divided this nation pitting the government entitlement sucking population against hardworking taxpayers. Obama has rewarded corrupt businesses and organizations with billions of tax dollars and done nothing for the small businesses that employ vast amounts of Americans.
Will Americans discover the Communist attack on our country by that criminal cabal in our Whitehouse in time to stop the destruction of our way of life that has made America the envy of the entire world?
Barack Obama is no Liberal, he’s a genuine Communist despot on a mission. That mission must be stopped and its leaders arrested, tried, convicted and severely punished for their High Treason.
Frankfurt, Germany—It’s cold in Frankfurt right now and that great city can be a lonely place for any American that can’t communicate. Most educated Germans speak English but might not be as helpful to an American lad as they could.
Twenty-two-year old Devon Hollahan has been missing since Saturday where he was last seen at the Frankfurt train station.
Youth Hostels are generally safe, reasonably clean and inexpensive. Sometimes intrigue and criminal victimization is a young traveler's companion. Frankfurt’s underbelly includes Turks, Russians and former Eastern block Communists.
Unfortunately Frankfurt’s uneducated criminals somehow think Americans are great ransom generators. These guys need to check out just how week the dollar is right now. Usually young women can become sex trade slaves so I suspect this case is different.
To my German readers please look at the video and call the Frankfurt police if you can be of assistance. Please watch the video below.
Munich, Germany—On my recent trip to Switzerland and Germany, I spent some quality time at the Bendlerblock military complex in Berlin. This was the origin of that failed internal military, 20 July 1944 bombing plot to kill Adolph Hitler at Wolf’s lair in East Prussia.
Today Bendlerblock is still an operational military facility but it also houses the informative, German Resistance Memorial Center. This museum utilizes the very offices of the key players in the most notorious plot against Hitler. Standing in these rooms is an incredible experience.
The museum honors the entire anti-Hitler/National Socialism resistance movement, not just the Valkerie bombing plot.
For me it was a somewhat emotional experience because I see the same conditions of the old Weimar Republic in our own country that enabled Adolph Hitler.
I’ve been captivated by the shocking and heartbreaking story of 21 year-old, Sophie Scholl. She was an unlikely hero and martyr of a Nazi era, peaceful resistance movement called, The White Rose.
Scholl and others in the movement learned about the summary executions of Russian POWs and the mass killings of Jews and began an effort of peaceful resistance against Hitler’s idea of Hope & Change. Their weapon of choice was writing, printing and distributing leaflets critical of Hitler and National Socialism. That was a death penalty offense.
The wartime atmosphere saw Scholl, her brother Hans Scholl and another member, Christoph Probst arrested and tried by Nazi Judge, Roland Friesler. Friesler convicted the young trio of High Treason and sent them to the guillotine that very same day.
The kids were beheaded in the Stadleheim Prison that's still being used in Munich today. The graves of Scholl and the other two can be found next to the prison.
There has never been an English language film about the White Rose and it is long overdue. I wish I had the funding to produce and make that movie.
Every government on earth is only a heartbeat away from sudden metamorphosis into unimaginable horror. Today, our very own government is on the very edge of tyranny. Americans must be ever vigilant and ready to forcefully fight any curbs on any freedoms for any reason.
Optimism, patience and trust did not protect a single victim of the many holocausts that have stained this earth. Peaceful resistance like that of the White Rose did nothing to stop a despot and restore freedom.
America, please learn from history and don’t let a corrupt despot seize our freedom or tax us into slavery! History is a teacher for those who will pay attention and recognize tyranny is redundant throughout human civilization. Optimism, patience and inaction are killers.
Bendlerblock German Resistance Musuem Today In Berlin!
Washington, D.C-Barack Obama has not hidden the fact that he is a Communist while he has openly added proud Communists to his entourage of Czars and advisors. It is the general public and news media that has remained optimistic that Obama is somehow not a Communist.
Every single act of the Obama Administration has come right out of the Karl Marx Playbook, Das Kapital. What else must Obama do to convince us of his allegiance to Communism?
The American news media has fallen in love with Obama just as they did with Fidel Castro as he took power. The talk of the American media at the time was when, not if Cuba was going to become the 49th state in the Union.
That all changed when Castro and that rogue medical doctor, Che Guevara began executing thousands and joined the Soviets. Eventually Castro allowed the Russian pigs to aim nuclear weapons at the USA in Cuba.
How can we forget the murderous ways of Lenin, Stalin, Zedong, Pot, and Castro? Everywhere Communism thrives there have been horrific holocausts. Freedom is non-existent and poverty and deprivation rule. Adolph Hitler was a Socialist and look what he brought on his own people. At first things were a little better in Germany under Hitler for all of course but the Jews. We need to simply remember what punishment he brought to this earth.
Modern civilized humans are optimists even while they stand in line for firing squads, gas chambers and gallows. They refuse to believe that innocent people can be murdered by their own governments.
Barack Obama is a Communist and we have hundreds more of these traitors in our own Congress. Our optimism is allowing them to gain complete rule with false promises of their Utopia. We know from history what follows. We must recognize it is them or us while we are still alive.
Communism is the ultimate criminal form of government. The leaders force equality on the masses as the government officials gain unlimited wealth. George Orwell made it clear in Animal Farm with that quote, “Some pigs are more equal than others.”
We only have two choices stop them cold or risk enslavement or worse. Put your optimism aside for a brief moment and simply look at history. How will this somehow play out differently today?
Obama is deliberately destroying our currency and economy be recklessly printing money as the Weimar Republic did at the end of World War One. The destabilization of our country is sure to follow.
Like Hitler’s thugs burned the Reichstag in Berlin, what will Obama create as an excuse to take our freedom? Obama’s henchman, Rahm Emmanuel said it best we he suggested, “Never let a good crisis go to waste.”
We need more than those benign Tea Parties; we need forceful resistance before it’s too late.
