The Gulf Wars Through The Peep Sights

The first "Gulf War" took place in 1990. Formally known as the "Persian Gulf War", this was the big retirement party U.S. President George Bush the First threw for General Norman Schwarzkopf, Jr., as a reward for a lifetime of distinguished service to his country in the U.S. Army. This great-big desert blowout took up two whole countries in the Middle East, Iraq and Kuwait. Everyone was present at this military shindig except Commander-in-Chief George the First.

Back in 1990, George the First was so impressed by "Stormin' Norman" that he let the general plan and execute his own retirement party and then made the U.S. taxpayers pick up the tab. From Operation Desert Shield (the plan made in Saudi Arabia) through Operation Desert Storm (the actual party in Kuwait and Iraq) "Stormin' Norman" tore through Persia like Sherman cut through Georgia on his way to the sea.

But instead of burning another Atlanta, Schwarzkopf just blew out his own party candles (Kuwait's burning oil fields). After the candles were out, no one at the party felt like going after Iraq's phony president and military dictator, Saddam Hussein, the one who lit up Kuwait in the first place. Once the candles were out and the press started to leave, what was the point of partying 'till dawn?

That mission (the military operation to find, try and execute Saddam Hussein) would set the stage for yet another retirement party in 2001. The second "Gulf War" was the big, early-retirement party U.S. President George Bush the Second threw for himself, in case he got impeached early in the game. As Commander in Chief of the U.S. Armed Forces, George the Second missed out on his own retirement party in the Persian Gulf, after lighting his own party candles at New York's World Trade Center on September 11th 2001. Poor Big Bad George II had to watch the whole thing on TV, just like poor Big Bad George I.

Some of us are really sick and tired of military retirement parties and we think these parties are more than just warfare concealed. We think they're crimes against humanity and against nature. And we think there ought to be a law against them.

Russian Food Fights

In the second decade of the 20th Century hungry Bolsheviks wrestled control of Mother Russia away from Czarist rule and created The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR), a communist state where every citizen followed the golden Socialist rule "from each according to his ability, to each according to his needs."

In the last decade of the 20th Century hungry Communists wrestled control of The USSR away from fat-cat Soviet bureaucrats and created The Russian Federation, a new Mother Russia based on the free-enterprise system.

Twice during the 20th Century Russian citizens proved to the world that any national movement worth its salt is invariably spearheaded by hungry people with no pots to piss in.

Keeping Up With the Joneses in the U.K.

"Keeping Up Appearances" was a 1990's British sitcom starring Patricia Routledge as Hyacinth Bucket (which she insisted on pronouncing "Bouquet"), a lunatic housewife from hell and social climber who commandeered her husband, family, neighbors and friends into unwilling participation in her ultimate quest for middle-class snobbery.

Set in Southwest London, this weekly half-hour comedy might have been a laugh a minute for English viewers but her frenetic search for a trivial and meaningless social pedestal made America's Lucy Ricardo of 1950's fame look like a Girl Scout in comparison.

At least "Keeping Up Appearances" held more entertainment value for many Americans than the British sitcom "Are You Being Served?". In that farcical sitcom, store clerks and management of a London clothing store served absolutely no one because they were too busy putting on preposterously stupid theatrical shows and skits. Now that's more like "I Love Lucy".

Red Fever

In the early 1950s the American people, finally free of their fear of Nazis and Japs, focused their fear, paranoia and finger-pointing on Communism, the world's first application of socialist values on a starving and war-weary population. The Soviet Union became the new enemy of most Americans after the second world war, but we kept a watchful eye on Communist China, too, figuring it was next in line for attacking our American principles and freedom. And, like every social movement throughout history, the American Anti-Communist front needed a leader in the war against the Communist threat and no one fit that bill more than the junior Republican Senator from Wisconsin, Joseph McCarthy, a World War II veteran and hero himself.

The timing was perfect. From 1950 to 1953 the U.S. military was waging a "police action" in Korea, with World War II hero and U.S. Army icon General Douglas MacArthur in command. In command of General MacArthur was U.S. President Harry S. Truman, a feisty liberal Democrat whose unabashed patriotism blinded him to the global Communist threat from the USSR that both General MacArthur and Senator McCarthy had so astutely identified. Before them, visionary U.S. Army General George Patton offered to eradicate the Soviet Red threat at the source but, in true politically-correct form, a shell-shocked General Dwight D. Eisenhower (who would later betray his own country as President in 1952 and turn it over to aliens called Greys) and Illuminati control freak President Franklin Delano Roosevelt (who'd already, in true Freemason-New World Order form, betrayed America to the Illuminati-controlled Cabal in 1935) fired the one man who would have prevented The Cold War by "nipping it in the bud". Instead, The Cold War, that infamous cloak-and-dagger spy game and deadly game of military chess played between The Soviets and The Americans, became the only game in town for the next forty-six years.

At a time when Americans were afraid of Communists who were half a world away from them, they were clueless about the reality of Communists among themselves, fellow Americans who secretly and actively embraced Communism as a preferred political and social way of life and who couldn't care less that their political activism ran counter to the basic tenets of American freedom. When faced with being branded as traitors by Senator Joseph McCarthy, they rebelled and they hid, like cowards do when faced with the truth. McCarthy almost single-handedly rousted dozens of Communists from the ranks of the U.S. Army and the State Department who had been serving up our atomic and military and national secrets to the USSR like a bunch of Benedict Arnolds under the democratic administration of a stupid, embarrassed and incensed Harry Truman.

The early 1950s also saw the triumph of the federal government over Communism when the House Un-American Activities Committee took the battle to Hollywood. Dozens of actors, writers and directors were "blacklisted" which meant that they could no longer influence a still innocent America with Communist propaganda in the form of full-length feature films.

For his unflagging efforts to help America fight Communism, Senator Joe McCarthy's reward was being one of the few senators in U.S. history to be censured. The American liberal press eventually referred to Senator McCarthy's dedicated act of winnowing the Communist seed out of the U.S. government a "witch-hunt". The Pinko Press was, in fact, totally oblivious to the fact that the real witch hunt was the seeking of Senator Joseph McCarthy's head by the liberal media, spearheaded by traitorous Americans like broadcast journalism pioneer Edward R. Murrow and liberal syndicated columnist Drew Pearson. Senator Joseph McCarthy's political legacy as a freedom fighter was reduced by a rabid liberal press to a mere one-word slur. "McCarthyism" became an American synonym for "witch-hunt". Beaten, maligned and misunderstood, Senator Joseph McCarthy finally drank himself to death at age 49.

When FBI agent Robert Hanssen was caught and arrested for treason in 2001 for selling U.S. military secrets to the Russians and for causing the worst breach in national security in the history of the United States, that alone should have vindicated the trials and tribulations of freedom fighter Senator Joseph McCarthy, nearly sixty years before that. But it didn't. Fighting the Commies in Korea for three years after we defeated the Nazis didn't raise a big red flag, either, for Americans. A big Red warning that told us that, if there were Americans spying for the USSR among our own military and State Department in the 1950s, someone like Joe McCarthy was certainly on our side.

When the Rosenbergs were caught, arrested, convicted and hanged for spying for the Commies and for trying to parlay our atom bomb secrets into a Soviet doggie bag for Switzerland, few people thought McCarthy was right in going after more of the Commie bastards in our own ranks. Even when Nikita Kruschev tried to install Soviet rockets in Cuba that could hit the U.S. mainland with a nuclear payload within minutes and JFK made him dismantle them and ship them back to mother Russia, not even then had Senator Joseph McCarthy been doing his senatorial, patriotic duty, according to fickle Americans who quickly forget their duties as citizens when their bellies and their gas tanks are full.

Too bad we don't have a Joe McCarthy in government today. But we don't need a McCarthy figure to go after Commies nowadays. We need him to go after Hollywood like the HUAC did back in the Fifties. But not to roust Reds and put them on trial. No. We need a guy like Senator Joseph McCarthy to hunt down the morally bankrupt, vile, dirty-minded, unscrupulous purveyors of decadence and filth that make up today's Hollywood. Then the new Joe could put a bounty on Madison Avenue advertisers who bombard American citizens daily with subliminal advertising that promotes decadence and degradation. And the biggest culprit of all, American television, would be on the chopping block for invading the sanctity of the American home with visions of belly buttons and butt cracks and the snide, sarcastic and sexually suggestive humor that is undermining our American way of life.

And what would be the official "charge" that a new Senate would use to send the new anti-American offenders to the slammer for life or to the gallows in this day and age? How about being "a threat to the national security of the United States" for starters? That's right. Nothing less. After all, it seems to me that when an entire nation is so preoccupied with what's going on from the waist down, it forgets to look up and to look around and to look in the mirror for the real enemy that threatens America. The dark side of ourselves.

The Venona Project, a long-running secret collaboration of US and UK intelligence agencies involving decryption of messages sent by the Soviet Union, declassified certain files in 1995 proving that those Americans who were accused by Senator Joseph McCarthy of spying for the USSR had, indeed, been traitorous spies. Yet the maligned memory of Joe McCarthy lives on in the hearts and minds of most Americans while the real legacy remains hidden. The real legend of Joe McCarthy, like that of Richard Milhous Nixon, is, in fact, the story of a patriot who was turned into a scapegoat by a nation that could no longer bear to look at itself in the mirror.

"All in the Family" in 25 Words or Less

American television producer Norman Lear's unbridled 1970's attack on WASP America, using situation comedy, stereotypes, social issues and hatred to make money for corporate America.

Blessing the Buck

In 1935 President Franklin D. Roosevelt was instrumental in altering the back of the U.S. one-dollar bill to the way it looks today. The change added the creepy "All-Seeing Eye of God" atop a skinny Egyptian pyramid to the left side of the back of the American dollar bill (changed from the original right-side choice that would have placed the American eagle on the left side).

This almost unilateral act of altering forever the cultural, historical and traditional value of America's main currency denomination was, in effect, a secret, self-blessing of America with the will of God. "Annuit coeptis" is latin for "God has favored our undertakings". "Novus ordo seclorum" is Latin for "New Order of the Ages". FDR's secret tinkering with the American Buck was an unimaginable act of arrogance and unaccountable religious ambition by one, lone Freemason on America's behalf.

So, where did this creepy, demonic-looking eyeball pyramid come from? It came from the back of the Great Seal of the United States that was commissioned in 1782 (the eagle is the front of The Great Seal and the image on the right side of the back of the modern dollar bill. Naturally, I have no problem with the eagle — it's truly magnificent and pure American — just the pyramid and that hideous, goofy eyeball.

So, you might ask again, where in the hell did it come from before that? Egypt, Greece, Rome? For my money, it was a little gift from the Illuminati Inner Circle, the New World Order movers-and-shakers who seem to worship Lucifer, Satan, Moloch (the horned owl god), Jesus and Almighty God all at the same time. They're all over the federal government and just about anywhere else where power is sought and brokered.

But who cares where it came from? It sure as hell doesn't belong on the U.S. one-dollar bill or on anything else American. And any redneck hillbilly asshole from any redneck American town could have told you that.

Millennium Madness

In 1999 most of the world suddenly went stupid and people began to delude themselves that they were in the last year of the current millennium. Not only that, they thought they were in the last year of the 20th Century. But nothing could have been further from the truth.

Time is measured on Earth with the decimal system. It takes ten years to make up a decade, not nine, and it takes one hundred years to make up a century, not 99 years. By the same token, 999 years do not a millennium make. A millennium is made up of 1000 years.

January 1, 1901 to December 31, 1910 was the first decade of the 20th Century. 1900 was the last year of the 19th Century, not the first year of the 20th Century, just the same way the year 2000 was the last year of the 20th Century and not the first year of the 21st Century.

It's all about multiples of ten. You have ten fingers. Count out a decade on them, then a century if you need to. If you need to count to 1000 on your fingers to understand how a millennium actually works then there's really no reason for you to read any further.

I would venture to guess that Hollywood played a major role in confusing people about the year 2000, making them throw out not only what they'd been taught in elementary school arithmetic and high school math, but their commonsense too. Movies about the new millennium were a dime a dozen in 1999 and in the year 2000, most of them dealing with the arrival or the departure of Satanic beings on planet Earth and a cape-and-sword battle for truth, the American way and the girl next door, because that's what sells tickets at the box office more than anything else. Romantic fantasy.

Another fantasy was the year 2000 being billed as the dreaded Y2K, a year that would fall flat on its face as soon as it arrived. When the year 2000 failed to bring with it the collapse of worldwide cyber technology, it confirmed the biggest computer hoax of all time and not the first year of some mysterious New World Order. But, thanks to Hollywood and its insatiable need to make tons of money off brainless people, the 21st Century and the new millennium came in on January 1, 2000.

For the couple dozen of us who knew better, however, the new millennium unceremoniously showed its face on January 1, 2001. And on January 1, 2011 the second decade of the 21st Century will just as quietly show its new face. But if you want any peace in your life, don't tell anyone.

When Guys Could Still Sing

Before the British rock invasion took America completely by storm, male rock vocalists still knew how to sing. Maybe they weren't Sinatra or Crosby or Dean Martin but these guys knew how to deliver a uniquely-styled song. That was between 1960 an 1966, before singing was edged out by hollering and screaming.

Whether or not you liked the person behind the singer or despite the fact that their style of music wasn't exactly your cup of tea, you had to admit that these guys knew how to sing. On top of that, people still knew how to write music for male crooners who represented the "other side" of the 1960's music scene. Here's a baker's dozen of songs that'll show you what I'm talking about.

1. Elvis Presley – It's Now Or Never (1960)
2. Gene Pitney – Town Without Pity (1961)
3. Elvis Presley – Such A Night (1961)
4. Elvis Presley – Suspicion (1961)
5. Del Shannon – Runaway (1961)
6. Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons – Walk Like A Man (1963)
7. Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons - Rag Doll (1964)
8. Bobby Vinton – Blue Velvet (1963)
9. Bobby Vinton – Blue Moon (1963)
10. Bobby Vinton – Mr. Lonely (1964)
11. Righteous Brothers – You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin' (1965)
12. Lou Christie – Lightnin' Strikes (1965)
13. Neil Diamond – Cherry, Cherry (1966)

Thank you, YouTube, for helping to keep these male rock vocalists and their unique music alive.

The Hubble Turns Twenty

Happy 20th Anniversary Hubble Telescope!

On April 24, 1990 NASA launched the Hubble Telescope into orbit and our world and our universe have never looked the same ever since that day.

57 Words About the Internet

In 1995 the Internet made its debut but the great "information highway" soon degraded into the biggest adult bookstore, illegal pharmacy and source of misinformation ever.

By 1999 the World Wide Web was nothing more than a hideout for crooks, creeps and scoundrels who would be in chains anywhere else.

The rest of us are their suckers.

Lincoln's Birthday

Back in the great 20th Century February 12th, Abraham Lincoln's birthday, was a National Holiday because of his powerful and historic influence on our nation's social evolution, just like the efforts of George Washington.

Now, neither one of these Presidents is honored on his birthday. In the case of "Honest Abe", America's 16th President, it's no way to treat a man who liberated people, who literally kept the Rothschild family from owning the USA, and who gave his life for his country.

Shame on all of us.

Happy Birthday, Abe Lincoln!

Big Bad Mike

Michael Casher, indie author, scourge of booksellers everywhere.

Striking fear in the hearts of literary agents, traditional publishers and the Illuminati, worldwide.

A popular "urban legend" tells us that this guy managed to sneak into the 21st Century as a 49-year-old boy, unscathed by life. But "rural legend" has it that this hick boy turned into an indie author and was never heard from again. I think the "rural legend" is the correct one since "urban" means "pertaining to a city" and Michael Casher was born in Appalachia and was last spotted there. Which makes the term "urban legend" about as stupid as you can get.

"The Andy Griffith Show" in 50 Words

A popular 1960's sitcom — and the best TV show ever made — about a competent but know-it-all southern sheriff who was stubborn and resistant to change, an incompetent know-it-all deputy, a town filled with stupid gossips, a cute but troublesome freckle-faced boy and the touchy, defensive aunt who helped raise him.
