- Confederate Memorial Day 2018
-
Today is Confederate Memorial Day in South Carolina. It is observed here and in several other Southern states since the end of the Civil War in rememberance of those quarter million plus Confederate soldiers and sailors who died fighting against the Union.
There was pretty much little mention of this anywhere locally but the Sons of Confederate Veterans are marking the day and state governmental employees have the day off — despite those invaders in our midst who don't recognize the sacrifice of those who gave their lives fighting under the stars and bars. These are the people who would deface or remove Confederate Monuments and vandalize Confederate cemeteries in our state.
Be all of this as it may, I lost relatives in that war and I will always remember them and it ... because it is an integral part of who I am.
While the ignorant associate the Confederate Flag with racism due the mistake called slavery and elements of society such as the Ku Klux Klan — and idiot children such as Dylann Roof who will hopefully be put down permanently in due time and should have never been provided with a weapon by his stupid father; I remain firmly rooted in that history which is mine and I remain unashamed of the Confederacy, those warriors we honor this day, or the Stars and Bars.
Anyone who doesn't like this may wish think twice prior to making any untoward statements in my presence for I don't take insults leveled at the Confederacy lightly by the ignorant — or the malevolent individuals out there with an axe to grind.
The Battle Hymn of the Republic
Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord;
He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored;
He hath loosed the fateful lightning of His terrible swift sword;
His truth is marching on.
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
His truth is marching on.
I have seen Him in the watch-fires of a hundred circling camps;
They have builded Him an altar in the evening dews and damps;
I can read His righteous sentence by the dim and flaring lamps,
His day is marching on.
I have read His fiery gospel writ in rows of burnished steel!
"As ye deal with my condemners, so with you My grace shall deal!
Let the Hero, born of woman, crush the serpent with his heel, "
Since God is marching on.
He has sounded forth the trumpet that shall never call retreat;
He is sifting out the hearts of men before His judgment seat;
Oh, be swift, my soul, to answer Him; be jubilant, my feet!
Our God is marching on.
In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born across the sea,
With a glory in His bosom that transfigures you and me;
As He died to make men holy, let us die to make men free!
While God is marching on.

- Victory in Europe Day 2018
-
Though I served in the Navy and "technically" did my duty to my country, the experience has left me lacking satisfaction on several levels.
My main issue with military service in general is battle.
I wanted to be involved in DEFENDING my country and not just being there prepared to do it.
I sometimes feel that had I been involved in armed conflict I could have taken it all much more seriously at the time and not messed around as much as I did during my hitch.
However, this being said, the outcome might have been quite tragic in a real battle scenario and I have been known for indiscretions in those thing for which I sometimes ask.
Today is the anniversary of VE Day.
This day in 1945 marked the unconditional surrender of the Nazi armed forces to the allies of WWII.
Some jurisdictions celebrate the day on the 9th of May 1945 when German forces occupying the Channel Islands formerly surrendered.
Regardless, the day is primarily marked as one of reconciliation and rememberance these days but not really celebrated anymore.

- James George Frazer
-
Back when The Book of the Month Club was something besides the frivolous paperback novel selling nothing is is today I was a member.
I used to buy those books which interested me from what was then an expansive collection of wonderful literature — and so many of them did that it was a difficult matter to keep funding available.
It was at that time that I purchased a copy of Sir James George Frazer's most famous book entitled The Golden Bough which documents and details the similarities among mystical and sacred beliefs which have existed internationally.
He felt that human belief is a 3 stage process:
primitive magic
replaced by religion
replaced by science
The books left me feeling as though I understood how people and cultures evolve from a spiritual standpoint. Over the years I have been able to cultivate a sense of tolerance for the beliefs of other which are incongruent with my own.
However, of late, seeing how utterly immoral, criminal, and without conscience the democrats, so-called "progressives" and 'deep state' operatives are I am again questioning the entirety of spirituality and the conflict of right and wrong as it relates to those in control of our government.

- International No Diet Day 2018
-
So again we have another International No Diet Day.
It is observed on each year on May 6 with a symbol of a light blue ribbon and is a body acceptance monstrosity likely initiated by a bunch of fatties who have been rejected hither thither and yon for that disgust their carcasses raise in others who can't stand to look at them.
Lifestyle changes for the better are also promoted as are the potential dangers associated with improper dieting and varying success rates.
Whenever I think about it I am drawn back to the protests of the 'Barbi doll physiques' railed against by the obese who could never attain those dimensions.
Being quite the obeast myself I am fully aware of what it takes to shape up. It's that elderly factor which has removed what was once an extreme emergency in my mind.
So happy International No Diet Day you big fat blivets and I hope you attain that nirvana of thinness so many of you covet as much as I covet winning the lottery.
Neither have happened for me but I remain hopeful.
Moo !

- The Global Stupidization of the New World Order
-
I was reading in The Atlanta Journal-Constitution a People Magazine feed regarding the inability of children in Great Britain to read analog clocks. These are being replaced by digital versions because the children can't tell the correct time from the analog versions formerly in place.
This inability to extrapolate a time from a dial face is further evidence for the diminished intellectual capacity of those who would assume positions near the top of the New World Order.
We have education systems unable to do anything except indoctrinate children into politcal ideology where learning becomes merely an incidental aspect of little of the drivel being presented otherwise.
The dumbing down of the world is part and parcel to the New World Order and their surreptitious plans for dominating the planet as though they were even capable of doing so. The Rothschilds, the Jesuits, the Belgians, and their lackeys in the United States need to step back and attempt to evaluate their positions.
When you're stupid you don't know you're stupid.
The left simply does not have the wherewithall to realize the folly of the New World Order and it's impact on those foolish nations they have been able to suck into it's fold.
I'm glad I have a low tolerance for stupid and traitors to the sovereignty of The Republic.

Today is May the 4th ... Star Wars Day and promotes all things Star Wars by George Lucas. The fan base of this franchise is deep and wide with grassroots that permeate the entire world.
So, there is a great number of the populace engaged in all aspects of this genre — even though I'm not really onboard. I saw the first movie in Charleston while in the Navy. I'm afraid that exciting as it was I never took in much of any of the sequels and prequels which populate that universe.
Suffice it to say other things ensnared my attention like trying to make a buck and working on computers and networks.
As for the the rest of you, May the Fourth be with you and I hope you have a happy day !

- Freedom of the Press and Speech
-
All too much of that which is "freedom of the press" and it's precursor "freedom of speech" is freedom to spread fake news, slanted perspective, and withhold objectivity, imparting this to others as though it were facts when it's not. This is a primary function of those liars known collectively as the democratic party and their so-called "progressives" who would have you think they are forward thinking when all they wish to do is commit crimes and undermine the actual democratic process of The Republic.
Freedom of the press and speech indicate the right of people, newspapers, magazines, and other informational distributions to report news without being controlled by the government ...
But there is a "shadow government" with monitors in most all of the organizations and therefore freedom of the press is one of those pipe dreams of a bygone era supplanted by the Facebooks, YouTubes, Twitters, and MSNBCs of the world out to color the journalism in their purview that distinct color of yellow once reserved for the lowest of the low. Freedom of speech is being assailed by the so-called pc "politically correct" movement where we're supposed to call women men and men women if it is their choice and not "offend" anyone lest they all get their panties in a wad on the public stage.
Now too many so-called "outlets" of the news attempt to mold the attitudes of the masses with what in actuality is the most deviant form of opine content on the planet. We have become something else. Something which is not free so much as influenced because the public school system has spent it's time indoctrinating the students with leftist ideology bent on pushing us to the new world order that so many of those like the traitor bushes, the brigand obama, and the international criminal and enemy of the state george soros adherents would like so badly.
However, WE THE PEOPLE remain here as well. Ready and willing to fight for those freedoms the left would strip from the citizen because they can neither see nor speak the truth.
The travesty of it all is how many of us can't see that reality though it's right before their faces. That tendency toward identity politics whereby those of a particular religion, race, or social backgrounds, etc, form exclusive political alliances, moving away from traditional broad-based party politics may dilute the base; but their methodologies of violence and suppression simply cannot win. Too many of us simply will not be told how to think. Too many of us decline to be the subjects of some stupid new world order whereby foreign nationals and the united nations run our show.
Resistance is not futile. It is necessary.

- roofie coladas and pudding pops
-
It's May Day — a time for pagan fertility rituals, the springie budding of flowers and such, return of the hummingbirds to my feeder, and all those things that make life a bit more enjoyable for many of us.
However, there is a pall hanging over the renewal of the seasonal greenery and that life it portends. The unchallenged improprieties by those in power against those who are weaker or otherwise compromised by career or politics.
There is an element in the dating scene whereby predators stalk their prey in the night clubs and the dance halls with roofie coladas or other drinks designed to deprive a woman of her senses long enough to be captured and brought to some secretive space whereby she may be given a taste of the pudding pop of her captor.
Typically, the perpetrators of these acts of aggression and conquest are would be "upper eschelon" practitioners of media arts or politics who are in actuality those bottom feeding denizens of those darkest nightmares of women everywhere.
It is strange that those who would aid and abet these people are never brought to justice while those perpetrators exposed rarely suffer the consequences of their actions as well ...
Leaving the violated to suffer their wounds — usually alone and in private but sometimes aloud and booming.
Will it ever end or will the Bills of the world who think that womankind is their playground and subject to their bites and druggings and victimization cease to likewise be further preyed upon by the mainstream media who protect those who would harm them as if it were their sworn duty.
The dark state infiltration of the media with operatives who monitor and control these institutions are that which makes the news all too worthless in these days of fakery and deception running amok in The Republic.

- May Eve
-
It's May Eve. Also known as Walpurgis Night, it marks the six month mark til All Hallows Eve ...
aka Halloween or that beginning of the holiday season !
The day is primarily an observance of central and northern European extraction with dancing and bonfires and the celebrations hold the separate flavors of those locales in which they are held.
These observances are typically either in conjunction with or included within the observance of "May Day" — which in actuality is the next day.
My personal interest in May Eve stems from my late childhood back when werewolves, vampires, and witches were a keen interest.
It seems that the sabbat's may eve focus was that which first brought the notion of May Eve into my thoughts.
The day also remains an homage to my late friend, Chris Gagnon who was an amateur cinematographer back in the oldie but goodie days of 8 mm and of course, Super 8 when we would create all manner of 3 minute technicolor masterpieces in the genre of the macabre.
But alas, those days (and Chris himself) are gone these many years and are relegated to that very personal and private level of my life known as memories.
Regardless, the day is now named for Saint Walpurga, who was canonized on May first in the 870 AD so you can feel safe lighting those bonfires and cutting a rug without getting struck by lightning or getting turned into the undead ... or worse.

- Happy Birthday Jim
-
It's my brother's birthday.
I did a sketch of him and his bride.
Though he only lives a few miles away I hardly ever see him. It doesn't mean that I don't think about him every now and then ...
Particularly when confronting a task for which I have absolutely no clue. The household stuff presents innumerable moments for this to happen as well.
Sometimes I wish that I had been a 'handy dandy' mechanical genius type like my brother but I'm afraid it's entirely too late for such goings on with me being so old and decrepit.
So anyway, Happy Birthday Jim and I wish you many more.

- Restoration of Sovereignty Day
-
Today is a celebration in Japan. One I hope the United States will implement as well. The Restoration of Sovereignty Day which marks the end of the American occupation of Japan on April 28, 1952 — is a relatively new public observance held each April 28.
It was proposed by Japanese Prime Minister Shinzō Abe in 2012 as an aspect of his "nationalist campaign" and first formally celebrated in 2013.
The problem in the United States is a "globalist" push by those like the traitor bushes, the pillaging and profiteering from public office clintons, as well as obama who attempted the entire ruination of the Republic.
The stupid people who think there will be a "New World Order" are sadly mistaken. Hopefully this will come to light when they see the reaction of those of us who remain patriots fighting against the democrat and progessive efforts to make us all subjects of Belgium and serfs of the Rosthchilds and gd Jesuits.
Hooray to the Japanese for their reclamation of sovereignty.
Boo to the traitor bushes who embrace the shadow governement and deep state beyond their constitutional purview in the government.
Boo to the criminal clintons who sold their influence on the international market for monetary gain.
Boo to the insidious brigand obama who single handedly attempted to take down the Republic for his own ends.
Boo to their blind democrat/progressive followers who cannot see or say the truth to save their stupid lives.
I hope they all get their traitorous robber just desserts in my lifetime.

- Under the Chinaberry Tree
-
When I was a kid there were a number of Chinaberry Trees in my immediate vicinity. They had a rather exotic compound leaf structure and provided excellent shade ... not to mention the pretty blooms which resulted in some rather odd khaki colored fruits which ultimately fell to the ground in great numbers and the many seedlings which would sprout from the roots of the larger trees.
It wasn't their classification as 'invasive' — or 'toxic' nor even the fact that they typically broke down in the middle as the result of some trunk decay ...
It was what went on under those trees which comes to mind at various times when I look at something or smell something or even think of something totally unrelated.
It was there that I witnessed many a boar become a barrow at the pocket knife of my father's brother.
It was there that I saw classmates place the toxic berries into the thermos containing kool-aid of the now long gone Isadore; who by the way never did any harm to anyone and was, like me, chastised for being different among his peers.
It was there that I would swat many a yellowfly which had swooped in for a feast of me; and there I would often stop for a moment while walking around in the 98 degree 99 percent South Carolina August humidity.
So regardless of their status as an invasive plant originating in India; Chinaberry trees are certainly no less invasive than all of the rest of the species from India; and I have a bit of history with those trees — which I never see up close anymore in my concrete jungle of stalking vehicles, streetlights, pavement and highrise edifices into which I burrow each day to do my work.
Country, yes I'm a little bit country. A very little bit -- despite my occasional Southern drall, ya'll.

- World Intellectual Property Day 2018
-
Each 26th day of April we observe World Intellectual Property Day.
It originates from the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) since the year 2000 in an effort to raise awareness of patents, copyright, trademark and the designs they protect in our activities of daily living and to celebrate the creative process and innovation. The day was selected because it coincides with the date in 1970 upon which that convention establishing WIPO went into effect.
My personal views of intellectual property litigation revolve around this gut feeling that the scope of purview is too broad in many instances.
While I feel there is a place for intellectual property rights ... there are too many so-called "patent and copyright trolls" out there seeking to pounce on anyone with a new idea claiming infringement which I have repeatedly found to be well beyond far fetched — to the point of groping for merely unsubstantiated appearances. Luckily, I don't rule the world or there would be quite a few unhappy copyright and patent holders out there after they finally got my foot removed from their butts.
A new idea or a fresh spin on an old one is thwarted entirely too often over intellectual property law regardless of relevance. Innovation gets thwarted when trolls grub for litigious money. Then there are the actual thieves who steal someone's idea and have the audacity to call it "innovation" on their part.
