Thu 01 Jun 2023 10:30:55 PM CDT Thu 01 Jun 2023 10:30:58 PM CDT First day of June huh? No songs about that? Probably, just don't know them. None by Blue Oyster Cult I reckon. Okey-dokey. What happened on this first day of June? Joetato fell, after an incoherent speech to the Air Force Academy grads. At least he didn't say corpse-man like Ovomit did, or if he did no one knew that was what he was trying to say. He damn near is a corpse, as to whether he is or ever was a man is another question. Pure unadulterated evil. I do have sympathy for people havin' troubles any kind, even felt a twinge of something when Ted Bundy was dragged off to meet his doom. He was crazy though, probably knew he was and by some accounts he wanted to get caught and executed to make the crazy stop. And at the end he was a human being of some sort, helpless and about to die, and knowing he was going to die and there was nothing he could do. Gotta be a bad feeling. Joetato on the other hand, like Frankenfeinstein who's probably in worse condition, have led a life of calculated evil for decades. No sympathy for them, if they suffer as the darkness closes in. Those types probably don't believe in an afterife, punishment, whatever. Probably the purest form of atheist, actually believes there is no God. Many - of the few professed atheists I've known - I always suspected they did believe, in fact know, and were His avowed enemies. How do they get that way? Beats me. No, when these monsters assume room temperature it's a cluster of cancer cells removed from humanity, having done all the damage possible in the time available. And they've metastasized, infecting others, many younger and will live for years spreading their evil. The Ovomit debacle, btw, was a display of how he was essentially a trained monkey with about average intelligence, and slips like corpse-man are typical of his ilk. Essentially the same as the news readers, only they have more training and preparation. His handlers didn't get just how dumb he was. That was written during the Vietnam War, and I was one of those figuring I was about to go. Lost a cousin on my mom's side in '68, close growing up, like losin' a brother. I's 14 in 1970, expected it to go on and they'd get me. You bet I's scared. Nixon ended it in time to save me, I ended up enlisting anyway. In the Air Force - didn't know as I'd like the Army. Anyhow, probably one more reason for the cabal to get rid of Nixon. He ended the big money days they'd been havin' and wanted to go on. Like now, figure Ukraine be the next one. Or something related. Right now a lot of money being laundered through there, but the scheme gonna hafta end soon. We get to pushin' 40 trillion in debt, as they say, what can't continue won't. Will they have Joetato get a war going? Already in deep, operators in Ukraine, probably some military personnel. Matter of time. Sun 04 Jun 2023 08:16:12 PM CDT Quiescent told me who Martha was inspired by. I concur. Dunno when he gonna drop it, probably end of the year. See if any of my ideas got into it. Search for the optimum in-between cigar continues. Dang Al Capones OK, just an inch short and two ringsizes - depending on whether their advertised size is right - too small. They sayin 3.25 x 26. Not sure I believe either. My Good Times minis say they 4.25 x 27 and size nowhere near being close. If they was I'd want something between (.25 shorter and 2 sizes bigger) but there ain't no in-between on thickness. The Capones over priced, not that price matters, except as a matter of principle, but if they was an inch longer and a hair thicker I'd be good with a couple of them during the day. So the quest continues. Country still going nuts, weekend so not much yakking goin' on. Joetato fell, tripped over something invisible. Banged his head on a door the next day. Probably sticking with him is the nuttiest thing of all, 'cept wanting Trump be his opponent. Trump got that weird light around him, and things crazy enough he might get elected wearing a prison monitor, or even in a cell. And when it's crazy enough for that to happen, anything could happen. Some of us, me bein' one, that RFK could get in and do a Perot. Again, weird enough it could happen. Which means the attemps to eliminate him the most thourough way would fail. Wed 07 Jun 2023 10:29:23 PM CDT Takin' a look at some bad folks from way back. Back in the day, I figured Slick Willie and Hitlery were the equivalent of Ahab and Jezebel. It worked in a lot of ways - Slick was kinda henpecked, let her do as she wanted, as Ahab did. Of course we have no idea if Jezebel as ugly, but there's no way she could have been as ugly as Cankles, but I figure she wasn't near as ugly - hard to imagine - and she probably wasn't as grossly fat as Cankles got to be. Although it took two or three eunuchs to defenestrate her, so she mighta been on the heavy side, of maybe they gave her the 1-2-3-go heave, to clear a wall or something, so she splatted on the street good afore Jehu cruised over her. If she's fat the chariot mighta bounced some. Dunno. Okey-dokey, is that enough abuse? Nah, she generally believed to be into occult, like most of the cabal, and Jez was accused of witchcraft, so there's that. But it's not just the similarity of the characters. Why did Slick and her get away with it? Well, he got elected 'cause Perot. That simple. I did an unscientific but pretty reliable survey, not actually asking but listening to others talk after the disaster if 1992. I's all over the country, lot of time in banks those days, computer stuff. I'd be talkin' to the president and a few minutes later to a custodian or electrician. Then the other people around, clerical and secretaries and such. And the other tech people I run into. They be talkin, I be listenin, they say who they voted for. Bush, Slick, Perot, never heard one say if they hadn't voted for Perot they'd vote for Willie. Not a one. Used to figure it just Perot's attitude, hated the Bushes, kinda nutty anyway, fuck up an election and the whole country over his ego. Still and all, probably he was put up to it. Bad as Bush was, he was the choice of the cabal until Willie was anointed. They used Perot to put him in. Anyhow, I get the idea that things weren't that bad in Israel about that time. They weren't under occupation apparently, since they's fighting with the Syrians a lot. Economy good? Dunno, but seems people weren't unhappy enough to give the king the boot, if it could be managed. Had that drought, on account of Ahab's wickedness I reckon. But sure in the early '90s Americans was pretty complacent. Reagan just fixed the Carter mess and had us in pretty good shape, Russians kinda down and losing their empire, probably figured between Bush and Bubba weren't much difference. Was they ever wrong. Only reason he didn't fuck us worse was he didn't really care about anything except sex with anything remotely female, and didn't go full throttle assault on the economy and breaking everything else the way Ovomit and Joetato done. Anyhow, the wickedness was there, every bit as demonic as ole Jezzie. And Bubba lettin' her run wild, no good could come of it. Thu 08 Jun 2023 09:41:14 PM CDT Sounds more like today I reckon. Government locking up thousands in the gulags, one indictment after another against the president they got rid of couple years ago and terrified he may get elected for a third time, so he can serve his second term of course. Of course it ain't Joetato's wife doin' it, that more Hitlery style. Same principle though. So Jezebel had poor ole Naboth killed off, but you gotta figger Israel was pretty corrupt about them, kind of shenanigans goin' on. More like Darkness at Noon now, for those in the barrel. Whether they get down to the little fish like me, or rather when they do, is anyone's guess. Lot more people now got their eyes open and ain't going quietly. Or going, the resistance may be kinda noisy. Things just about crazy enough Trump might actually get elected, jail and all. Hafta pardon himself, gotta admit it'd be hilarious. Course if he did, there'd be hell to pay. Pissed as he is, he'd do the job right. Empty the gulags and replace the inmates with the minions of the current regime. But they'll do away with him if he looks even close. There's a Hinkley or Oswald, couple or three of both actually, primed and ready to strike. But again, weird as it is they might not succeed. Like to see if if only for that reason. Probably only way he does it though is if RFK goes rogue and runs third party. Same effect as Perot, only the other way around. Which is why there's a plan for him too. Don't like any of it. I'm and ole geezer ain't got much time to do anything, not gonna spend it in a prison, especially being tortured. One scenario I do see sometimes is this thing turning into a French Revolution scenario, at least in terms of some crazy people being able to do the crazy stuff they want to do, on a large scale. That'd be ugly, hope some holes for us old cripples to hide in. A few defenestrations might be good though, as long as the right people get defenestrated. Fri 09 Jun 2023 09:43:46 PM CDT Nice start to the weekend. Little rain, looks like some more coming. Vegetation pretty much under control, wish I could say the same for the construction work. 'tis what it is, as someoneorother said. Ahab done got hisself kilt, mixin it up with the Syrians again. Tried to pull a fast one, not sure why, but Murphy got him. Dressed like a regular soldier, dunno why. Opinions vary, as Dalton liked to say. Only the Syrian king tole his men to go right for Ahab, not to bother with the others. Ahab lookin' like any other dude out there, not the king they lookin' for, one of the Syrians took a pot shot at somebody in a chariot, and it happened to be Ahab. Didn't happen to be, Ahab been told his days were numbered, over the Naboth affair, as if there wasn't plenty else. Arrow found the chink in the armor and Ahab's done. He had his driver get him out of the melee, watching while his blood run out. DOA in Samaria. Like Elijah said, they was washin' the chariot dogs come and licked up the blood. Apocryphal aside here, story is, as Cody was sayin, when Henry VIII (pretty wicked dude hisself) succumbed he was so fat - that part's verified - the the coffin cracked (some say he was in a temporary wooden one, before they got'em in the official lead one - dunno) and some of his tissues (body was rotting away from the diseases before he died) leaked out on the ground and dogs lapped'em up, as dogs will. Speshully in 16th century England. Seems some monk or other had said Henry'd get the Ahab treatment, whoknows? Okey-dokey. Ahab bought the farm, his kid be king now. Jezebel still alive though. Another ten years or so. Kid wouldn't do much better. Elijah tole one of his assistants to go anoint Jehu king. That's what's happenin' up there. Told'em what to do. Kill off the rest of Ahab's household. Jezebel on borrowed time now. Wondering if we end up with some kinda realignment, somehow a good guy gets in charge. Takes care of business. Lot more retribution, volume-wise. Things crazy enough, it could happen. Sat 10 Jun 2023 11:17:11 PM CDT That took a bit. Jehu did away with the kings of Israel and Judah, like that. Got Joram in the 10-ring on the run. A righteous badass and good shot. Dirty Harry would approve, of his shooting and probably his attitude. So the stage is set for the best part, I reckon. Taking down two kings in one day, not bad. But there's justice and then there's the fun kind. Figure Jezebel's heard about it before Jehu arrives to deliver the retribution, dunno how long it was. Days? Or just hours? Lessee, she was in Jezreel, and that's where Jehu was going, dunno if he was sidetracked chasing Ahaziah or some of his men did it. Probably wasn't long before he showed up, and she ready for him. Like she couldn't figure what was comin. Idunno, seems they got up close and personal, kings mingling with regular people on the street, or the battlefield. But Israel a small place, David could see Uriah's backyard from the roof of his house, unfortunately, and guess it wasn't so formal a lot of times. Sun 11 Jun 2023 08:38:21 PM CDT Like I said, Jezzie must've known what was comin. Zimri sounds like one of those dudes, army officer or politician, in third-world countries deposes the government and takes over. Sometimes it's for the best (notice Jerry slew some of his corrupt predecessors like Jehu did) but mostly it don't work so well for about anyone. Zimri killed off the actual king, made hisself king, a week later he was dead because the army chose someone else. Who happened to be Ahab's father. So Jez was sayin, you like the guy that killed a king and took over, but ended up making my husband king. Okey-dokey. Banana republics, guess in this case a olive republic, or figs, or pomegranates. Whatever. Anyway, guess she figured the gig was up and insulted him as best she could. Of course Zimri didn't have proper authorization, and Jehu did. Why Jez wasn't down with it, she not even an Israelite to begin with, being a Phoenician, daughter of the king of Tyre. Tyre friendly to Israel back in the day, what with Hiram helping Solomon out and all, probably Israelite kings kept on gettin wives there but it went south. Where Baal got into Israel big time, human sacrifice (children) and all that. She like the people runnin' the country today, they in charge, got the money and law behind them, can do as they please and if they wanna offer the commoners' children to their bloodthirsty deities, try to stop them. Anyway, she done. Reckon the eunuchs was household staff, seein' the way things was going they heaved their boss out the window and that was that. Except for the dogs eatin' her. Jehu wasn't done though. Remember he was told to destroy the house of Ahab? Well, tellya bout that next time. Mon 12 Jun 2023 11:28:42 AM CDT Pretty brutal, but it's the way things were then. Entire Canaanite cities were wiped out, to remove the contamination so there would be no residue to corrupt the new owners. Of course they didn't get the job done thoroughly, and some would creep back in eventually anyway. People are like that. Anyhow, Jehu takin' care of business, like he was told. No more Ahab. Or Jezebel. Or any of his young'uns growing up and gettin ideas. No head, no conspiracy thinking. Not that the same practice wasn't common throughout the world, well into the Renaissance era. Families killed each other off, make the Hatfields and McCoys look like schoolboy pranks. Well, he about there, but there's still a few kin, Ahaziah's folks. Some of them showed up at the wrong time, and that was all for them. Then he went into Samaria and put paid to a few stragglers. Now it's time for the big show. Somehow I like this best, in view of the present situation here. Mon 12 Jun 2023 11:28:42 AM CDT Jehu seems to have employed some deception here, as the Baal-worshipers thought he was gonna carry on as before. Uh-uh. This was the final part of his mission. Got'em all in there, had his men in place to make sure none got away, and... Mon 12 Jun 2023 11:28:42 AM CDT Served'em right. They was the most corrupt and evil people. Killin' babies (sound familiar?) and perverted sex as part of religions ceremonies, a thoroughly debased and depraved bunch. Like what we got today, only here most people ain't in on it. But they lettin' it happen and not doing anything about it. Got the elections set up where evil may win every time from here on out, but hope not. Maybe turn it around, or split up and let us live our lives in our space and they do their thing in theirs. Whole bunch of Sodom and Gomorrahs in that territory, but dunno if it'll happen that way. It may be that a lot of little Jehus rise up and take care of business in their juristictions. Balance of Power and MacArthur's Freehold by my buddy BQ exlplores that. I confess to writing some action scenes, and enjoyed it, IWKWIM. Wouldna done it if I didn't enjoy it. Wed 14 Jun 2023 10:06:32 PM CDT Tomorrow Juneteenth, probably won't bother to watch the body count. Anyway, they been at it all week, and probably go into the weekend. Ya'know, things are so weird that Trump might actually get elected while a convicted "criminal", hafta pardon himself. It really is that strange. If something more sane doesn't happen, we gonna have some people goin' medieval on some other people. Or maybe stuff from a later time, say the French Revolution. We got the really bad types among us already, but the peasants outnumber them somewhere from 10-1 to maybe 20-1. OK, Alex and I (code name of course) wuz doing fight scenes for a project. We both fans of the Executioner and Destroyer books, but "streams of 9mm Parabellum" stitching up mob hardmen or Remo's sinanju stuff gets kind of dull after a while. He liked the one with the mild-mannered engineer bein attacked by a couple Cosa Nostra button men and being unarmed used a fireman's hatchet to take care of them. I'm working an Assegai spear in there somewhere, or maybe a samurai sword. BTW, a fireman's axe is way to heavy and hard to swing in close quarters, so the scenario is he had both handy, and used the hatchet. The mob thugs was tryin' the baseball bat thing on him. If they'd just shot him they'd have lived to kill another day. I'm gonna read the first two Executioner books again soon, especially Death Squad. Seems Don had an idea and tried it, figured it wasn't the way to go. Probably wasn't. Been years, remember something I liked about them, and the other early ones. Text in pics Day of judgement, God is calling On their knees, the war pigs crawling Begging mercy for their sins Satan laughing, spreads his wings War Pigs (Black Sabbath - 1970) Sam put his phone away and opened the door. "Let's go." he said. "Follow my lead" She checked the pocket that held her ID card and badge, adjusted the crossdraw holster holding her gun, zipped her jacket up about a third of the way. Sam did the same, and they walked toward the house. She saw that Sam had his binoculars, reached back into the car and got hers. "Should I lock it?" she asked. "No, no need. We might have to egress quickly." He grinned, and she hoped he was joking. "Whatever you do," he said, "don't touch your weapon or reach inside your jacket. We're being watched, and as long as we don't alarm anyone we're in no danger." Balance of Power (Enak Nomolos - 2022) 1 Kings 16 29 In the thirty-eighth year of Asa king of Judah, Ahab son of Omri became king of Israel, and he reigned in Samaria over Israel twenty-two years. 30 Ahab son of Omri did more evil in the eyes of the Lord than any of those before him. 31 He not only considered it trivial to commit the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, but he also married Jezebel daughter of Ethbaal king of the Sidonians, and began to serve Baal and worship him. 32 He set up an altar for Baal in the temple of Baal that he built in Samaria. 33 Ahab also made an Asherah pole and did more to arouse the anger of the Lord, the God of Israel, than did all the kings of Israel before him. 1 Kings 21 8 So she wrote letters in Ahab's name, placed his seal on them, and sent them to the elders and nobles who lived in Naboth's city with him. 9 In those letters she wrote: "Proclaim a day of fasting and seat Naboth in a prominent place among the people. 10 But seat two scoundrels opposite him and have them bring charges that he has cursed both God and the king. Then take him out and stone him to death." 11 So the elders and nobles who lived in Naboth's city did as Jezebel directed in the letters she had written to them. 12 They proclaimed a fast and seated Naboth in a prominent place among the people. 13 Then two scoundrels came and sat opposite him and brought charges against Naboth before the people, saying, "Naboth has cursed both God and the king." So they took him outside the city and stoned him to death. 14 Then they sent word to Jezebel: "Naboth has been stoned to death. 2 Kings 9 6 Jehu got up and went into the house. Then the prophet poured the oil on Jehu's head and declared, "This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: 'I anoint you king over the Lord's people Israel. 7 You are to destroy the house of Ahab your master, and I will avenge the blood of my servants the prophets and the blood of all the Lord's servants shed by Jezebel. 8 The whole house of Ahab will perish. I will cut off from Ahab every last male in Israel, slave or free. 9 I will make the house of Ahab like the house of Jeroboam son of Nebat and like the house of Baasha son of Ahijah. 10 As for Jezebel, dogs will devour her on the plot of ground at Jezreel, and no one will bury her.'" Then he opened the door and ran. 2 Kings 9 21 "Hitch up my chariot," Joram ordered. And when it was hitched up, Joram king of Israel and Ahaziah king of Judah rode out, each in his own chariot, to meet Jehu. They met him at the plot of ground that had belonged to Naboth the Jezreelite. 22 When Joram saw Jehu he asked, "Have you come in peace, Jehu?" "How can there be peace," Jehu replied, "as long as all the idolatry and witchcraft of your mother Jezebel abound?" 23 Joram turned about and fled, calling out to Ahaziah, "Treachery, Ahaziah!" 24 Then Jehu drew his bow and shot Joram between the shoulders. The arrow pierced his heart and he slumped down in his chariot. 25 Jehu said to Bidkar, his chariot officer, "Pick him up and throw him on the field that belonged to Naboth the Jezreelite. Remember how you and I were riding together in chariots behind Ahab his father when the Lord spoke this prophecy against him: 26 'Yesterday I saw the blood of Naboth and the blood of his sons, declares the Lord, and I will surely make you pay for it on this plot of ground, declares the Lord.' Now then, pick him up and throw him on that plot, in accordance with the word of the Lord." 27 When Ahaziah king of Judah saw what had happened, he fled up the road to Beth Haggan. Jehu chased him, shouting, "Kill him too!" They wounded him in his chariot on the way up to Gur near Ibleam, but he escaped to Megiddo and died there. 28 His servants took him by chariot to Jerusalem and buried him with his ancestors in his tomb in the City of David. 29 (In the eleventh year of Joram son of Ahab, Ahaziah had become king of Judah.) 2 Kings 30 Then Jehu went to Jezreel. When Jezebel heard about it, she put on eye makeup, arranged her hair and looked out of a window. 31 As Jehu entered the gate, she asked, "Have you come in peace, you Zimri, you murderer of your master?" 32 He looked up at the window and called out, "Who is on my side? Who?" Two or three eunuchs looked down at him. 33 "Throw her down!" Jehu said. So they threw her down, and some of her blood spattered the wall and the horses as they trampled her underfoot. 34 Jehu went in and ate and drank. "Take care of that cursed woman," he said, “and bury her, for she was a king's daughter." 35 But when they went out to bury her, they found nothing except her skull, her feet and her hands. 36 They went back and told Jehu, who said, "This is the word of the Lord that he spoke through his servant Elijah the Tishbite: On the plot of ground at Jezreel dogs will devour Jezebel's flesh. 37 Jezebel's body will be like dung on the ground in the plot at Jezreel, so that no one will be able to say, 'This is Jezebel.'" 2 Kings 10 1 Now Ahab had seventy sons in Samaria. So Jehu wrote letters and sent them to Samaria, to the senior officers of the city, the elders, and the guardians of Ahab's sons. 2 The letters said: "Your master's sons are in your possession, along with horses and chariots, a fortified city, and weapons. Now when this letter reaches you, 3 look for the best and most capable of your master's sons. Place him on his father's throne. Then fight for your master's family." 4 But they were frozen with fear. They said, "Not even two kings could resist him! How can we?" 5 So the palace administrator, the mayor, the elders, and the guardians sent a letter back to Jehu that read, “We are your servants. We will do whatever you tell us. We won't make anyone king. Do whatever seems right to you." 6 Jehu wrote them a second letter: "If you are loyal to me and ready to obey me, take the heads of your master's sons and bring them to me at Jezreel at this time tomorrow." Now the king's seventy sons were with the city leaders who were raising them. 7 So when the letter came to them, they took the king's sons and slaughtered all seventy of them. They placed their heads in baskets and sent them to Jehu at Jezreel. 8 A messenger came and told Jehu, "They have brought the heads of the king's sons." 2 Kings 10 18 Then Jehu gathered all the people together, and said to them, “Ahab served Baal a little, Jehu will serve him much. 19 Now therefore, call to me all the prophets of Baal, all his servants, and all his priests. Let no one be missing, for I have a great sacrifice for Baal. Whoever is missing shall not live." But Jehu acted deceptively, with the intent of destroying the worshipers of Baal. 20 And Jehu said, “Proclaim a solemn assembly for Baal." So they proclaimed it. 21 Then Jehu sent throughout all Israel; and all the worshipers of Baal came, so that there was not a man left who did not come. So they came into the temple of Baal, and the temple of Baal was full from one end to the other. 22 And he said to the one in charge of the wardrobe, "Bring out vestments for all the worshipers of Baal." So he brought out vestments for them. 23 Then Jehu and Jehonadab the son of Rechab went into the temple of Baal, and said to the worshipers of Baal, "Search and see that no servants of the Lord are here with you, but only the worshipers of Baal." 24 So they went in to offer sacrifices and burnt offerings. Now Jehu had appointed for himself eighty men on the outside, and had said, "If any of the men whom I have brought into your hands escapes, whoever lets him escape, it shall be his life for the life of the other." 2 Kings 10 25 Now it happened, as soon as he had made an end of offering the burnt offering, that Jehu said to the guard and to the captains, "Go in and kill them; let no one come out!" And they killed them with the edge of the sword; then the guards and the officers threw them out, and went into the inner room of the temple of Baal. 26 And they brought the sacred pillars out of the temple of Baal and burned them. 27 Then they broke down the sacred pillar of Baal, and tore down the temple of Baal and made it a refuse dump to this day. 28 Thus Jehu destroyed Baal from Israel. Genesis 19 27 And Abraham went early in the morning to the place where he had stood before the Lord. 28 Then he looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the plain; and he saw, and behold, the smoke of the land which went up like the smoke of a furnace. Had the situation not been so serious, Anthony would have enjoyed their discomfiture. There really was no solution the country would soon be in complete chaos if something were not done. And ten times the army they had couldn't deal with it, assuming half the army did not desert and join the rebels. "Do you have any suggestions?" he asked. "Why can't State and local law enforcement to contain it?" asked Jordan. "We should have federalized all law enforcement long ago. Can they do nothing?" "Next to nothing," Anthony replied. "Assuming they wanted to. Probably many of them are on the side of the rebels. And in any case there aren't enough. Look...' "He was still standing by the whiteboard, and drew an outline around the interior, excluding the coasts. "What you call flyover country," he said. "Everything you need to live comes from there, or has to be transported across it. There are thousands of bridges - highway and railroad almost of all of them running through virtually uninhabited country. The same goes for electricity, and water for most of the large metro areas. Take out a bridge and trains or trucks don't move on that line or road for days or weeks. One of those transmission towers goes down and the lights go off in the cities. You would have occupy every square mile, three million square miles, to keep it all secure." MacArthur's Freehold (Enak Nomolos - 2022) Last updated: Fri 09 Jun 2023 09:43:10 PM CDT : 1686364990 |
