Expect the Unexpected: Pope 2.0...

...Imams 101. No, it's not a soccer score, it's Religion going cyber.

The Pope's on Facebook and All Is Well. The Pope's new account, entitled "Pope2You, " like ToysRus, invokes the concept of an all inclusive, direct line to the head of the church. Even the Imams are getting on board, having recently decided that their flocks may use Facebook, but only for contact with work and friends--no gossip or flirting allowed.

Meanwhile, the Boys From Brazil are back in the form of a new generation of race "purists," 14 of which, according to the Jerusalem Post, were recently arrested for an alleged neo nazi plot to bomb two synagogues in Southern Brazil's Porto Alegre.

Today's coup de grace, however, underlining all of these surrealities, [there's *THAT* word again] is Joseph Farah's World Net Daily report on the Billboard Movement that's sweeping the country which he has named "The Truth and Transparency Campaign." Within 48 hours of the request for donations, a billboard owner contributed his space to add to the fast growing campaign to erect billboards requesting proof of Obama's citizenship and eligibility to serve as POTUS across the country.

As WND's billboard campaign to raise visibility of the issues surrounding Barack Obama's constitutional eligibility yesterday continued to attract eager donors, the president had this to say:

"I will never hide the truth because it is uncomfortable." [Say WHATTT???]

[Like myself, and any other reasonable person], Joseph Farah, WND's editor and chief executive officer, reacted to Obama's statement in stunned amazement.

"This is a guy who has no trouble turning over sensitive documents from previous administrations, but he still refuses to release for public view something seemingly so innocuous as his own birth certificate...This is a double-standard wide enough to sail the Queen Mary 2 through. Statements like this need to be challenged by a vibrant and free press. And that's what our 'Where's the birth certificate?' billboard campaign is all about."

More than $35,000 has been raised in the first 72 hours of the national billboard campaign – and the first sign, an electronic one, is already up and online. Farah, editor and chief executive officer of WND, said he's calling it "the truth and transparency campaign." The money is being used to erect billboards around the country that ask a simple question: "Where's the birth certificate?"

The first such sign to be posted under the 3-day-old campaign, a digital, electronic one, is up and online on Highway 165 in Ball, La. – the result of a donation by the owner. In addition, based on the heavy volume of financial donations in the first two days of the campaign, WND was able to commit to leasing two more standard billboards – one in Los Angeles and the other in Pennsylvania.

Anyone wishing to contribute to this nationwide campaign to raise awareness and get the truth out may do so by clicking on http://shop.wnd.com/store/item.asp?DEPARTMENT_ID=13&SUBDEPARTMENT_ID=84&ITEM_ID=2866

Please note, however, that the birth certificate is NOT the ultimate arbiter here. Irrespective of WHERE this man, whatever his name is, was BORN, NEITHER OF HIS PARENTS were legally able to confer American citizenship on him: his father was Kenyan and his mother was too young. ADDITIONALLY, the fact that he was an Indonesian citizen and travelled to Pah-kee-stahn on that passport in 1981 would further disqualify him as a natural born American citizen because having become a citizen of Indonesia at some point after having been adopted by Lolo Soetoro, his resultant allegiance to a country other than American renders him ineligible to serve.

And so, at the start of this 2009 Memorial Day weekend, ["Official, " NOT "Actual"] consistency continues to reign: The Rabbit Hole remains the center of our Universe, and the only reasonable approach is to live expecting the unexpected.

Blessing all Warriors and watching over them this weekend, be they on battlefields or highways for holiday travel. [The latter can, at times, resemble the former, so be careful out there everyone!]

Welcome to the Rabbit Hole: "Official" Versus "Actual"

I offer a compendium of topics, related only by their surreal qualities. Either that, or that 3 hours of gardening today pumped out so much serotonin that I cannot be held responsible for what The Mind On Serotonin does.

In New York it's 4:37 PM, a soft and sunny 75; it's 1:57 AM in Kandahar, Afghanistan, 70 F, and I just finished reading the newswire about Marjah, where American forces have seized 16 tons of opiates, 45 tons of explosive making material and a large supply of heroin refining product. Not far from there, in the Desert of Death, so named by locals for its less than hospitable conditions, the USMC is building a 443 acre Camp Leatherneck, started in January, which will house the largest combat zone parking field [that's for air craft, not cars] in the world, so it looks like we're there to stay awhile.

Sadly, John Brown, Jr., one of the original 29 Navajo Code Talkers who developed a communication code the Japanese were unable to break passed from this world yesterday at the age of 88. Their contribution to our success in WWII was monumental and was not declassified until 1968. The 29 received the Congressional Gold Medal in 2001. As we near Memorial Day, it is ever more important to remember that although the "official" day of remembrance was changed so that it could always be on a Monday, thereby affording Americans another annual three day weekend, the actual Memorial Day falls on May 30.

On other fronts, California is still broke, Nancy Pelosi is still a liar, and Joe Biden is still as senseless as a goat. In New York four people were arrested today on charges of plotting to shoot military aircraft at Stewart Airfield with Stingers, blow up two Synagoges in the Bronx, and generally create havoc and terrorism wherever they could find it. It is said that three of them converted to Islam while serving time in American jails...and the BOzo in the White House wants to bring Gitmo guys here??

A friend who spent time in a locked mental ward recently told me he had been watching a Lakers game on the TV there when the cameras showed some footage of Jack Nicholson, an avid fan, in the stands. He couldn't help being reminded of watching Nicholson years ago in a theater in "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" wherein Jack unwittingly becomes trapped in a locked mental ward. Yes indeed, welcome to the Rabbit Hole, where life imitates art, the insane seems sane and the surreal unfolds, all day, every day.

Is It Scoundrel Time Yet?

I received notice this morning from Chris Hill, Director of Operations for Gathering of Eagles that the Victory in Iraq Rally scheduled for 13 June in D.C. had been cancelled:

By Chris Hill 05/15/2009

It is with a heavy heart and more than a little anger that I must tell
you all that the VI Rally scheduled for 13 June in D.C. has been
cancelled. Our sponsors pulled out a couple weeks ago and though we
tried mightily to get others we have come up dry. It appears that the
money guys on our side of the argument are running scared from the
current political climate. The Park Service is going to pull our
permits for lack of resources; simply put, no portalets or EMT
services means no rally. I apologize for any inconvenience this
causes, but there's is simply nothing we can do.

We had commitments from Capt. Phillips of the Somali pirates event,
Marcus Luttrell USN SEAL (Lone Survivor), former Congressman Duncan
Hunter, Pat Dollard, various Blue and Gold Star family members, three
separate musical acts, a potential video up link to Iraq, the 9/11
chopper, dragsters painted to represent the different services and an
after party at the Hard Rock Cafe. Unfortunately, the hard work
expended to put this together, by a number of people will now be for
naught. Please don't let this discourage your efforts. It is all the
more important that we redouble our efforts concerning our heroes in
the desert. I hope you all understand how difficult it is for me to
send this message. Thank you for all your efforts.

Having made plans to cover it live onsite on The Dame Truth and with my partner and cohost drkate on Constitutional Radio, I was more than a little distressed to learn of this turn of events. Once again, it seems our Military is getting shorted on everything but combat time. I put a call in to Chris to learn more, and to confirm a guest spot on Monday's Dame and we got to talking about the kind of political climate in which any and every entity and individual must calculate their actions and retract offers of good works out of fear from government repercussion.

To begin with, let me make this crystal clear: these backers contacted Gathering of Eagles to offer financial assistance toward producing the June 13 rally. It was their intention to support our troops via the rally until they became aware that doing so could bode ill for them in the current political climate. Of course, my immediate response was, "Who Are These People?!" [ I wanted to organize a boycott of whatever corporate interests they represented]. However, it appears that they were private individuals, at least for the moment. Here is where it gets dicey: how DOES one go about seeking to right a wrong without making the situation worse? I have not yet been able to satisfactorily answer that question in this case but suffice to say, it niggles at me and I will NOT let it go until I have done all that I can to get to the bottom of it and shed the light of truth upon it.

So. These backers approached Gathering of Eagles. The Chairman flew down to meet with them and they asked him what he needed. Chris laid out the program for them and was effectively given a carte blanche until a short time ago, when they informed him that the funding would be withdrawn. Aside from that terse message, they had no more communication with GOE, refusing to answer emails and phone calls. And so, I'm wondering just WHAT they're afraid of. I mean, aside from the fact that

1) Yesterday the Administration said they' d seek to minimize benefits to corporate CEOs regardles of whether they received TARP benefits or not; and

2) I hear the word from Justice is that there's been some niggling in administration over nationalizing oil industry...

So, there we have it...for the moment. Oilmen are feeling antsy about being targeted by the Administration to the extent that they would pull funding for a rally for the troops. And this administration has the temerity to pose as a Constitutional entity??

Round Up the Usual Suspects: Talk Rado...AGAIN??

Camille Paglia's Salon.com piece today questions whether "The assassination jokes and "liberal" conspiracy theories on talk radio could be an ominous sign of things to come," invoking names like Knebel, Serling and Frankenheimer, [Seven Days in May , one of whose characters, General James Scott, says,

And if you want to talk about your oath of office, I'm here to tell you face to face, President Lyman, that you violated that oath when you stripped this country of its muscles - when you deliberately played upon the fear and fatigue of the people and told them they could remove that fear by the stroke of a pen. And then when this nation rejected you, lost faith in you, and began militantly to oppose you, you violated that oath by not resigning from office and turning the country over to someone who could represent the people of the United States],

Feherty, Limbaugh, and Sykes, and studiously avoiding names like Obama, Soetoro and Conyers with regard to her fears for our nation, suggesting that talk radio is undermining the authority and dignity of the presidency.

My answer to that is it is NOT talk radio that is undermining the authority and dignity of the presidency. That job has already been fullfilled, and then some, by the current residents of the White House with their grotesquely lavish slap-in-the-face-of-the-American-people-who-are-losing-everything parties, wantonly terrorizing New Yorkers with a dangerous, disrespectful, expensive and unnecessary flyover of lower Manhattan, bowing to a Saudi prince, insulting long time British allies, insisting that all references to Jesus be removed FROM A GEORGETOWN CHAPEL, laughing at inane, obscene comics like Wanda Sykes, passing bill after nefarious bill under cover of darkness, including but not limited to $20 Million for room, board and passage of Hamas to America, cooling toward Israel, and, in general, acting like the pathetically stupid, garish clowns that they are.

Oh, and did I mention the issue of refusing to provide ANY records of birth, education, work product, writing or otherwise usually freely offered by public officials to the American public?

Then, too there's that ACORN/White House Census thing, formerly a legislative purview, now commandeered by partisan thugs...

And, lest we forget under the tutelage of main stream media's constant stream of Kool Aid, there's that pesky list of criminal associations from Chicago and abroad, a Usurper's wife who asserts that she has never been proud of America, and a Usurper who refuses to participate in National Prayer Day...
As usual, THAT'S just the tip of the befouled iceberg that continues to glide over our country from DC and parts unknown.

DIGNITY??? AUTHORITY??? That ship sailed long ago, and whatever was left of its wake was promptly torpedoed by that gaggle of goons who have now seized Washington.

A World Gone Mad Into LaLa Land

I feel a rant coming on...it started this morning with news from Hawaii, whose obdurately inane legislature has passed "Islam Day", just a few short years after the most horrendous attack on American soil, perpetrated by Muslims, occurred in New York. That, in itself, would be an outrage, were it not for the fact that Hawaii is one of THE MOST racist, intolerant states in the country, replete with rudeness and intimidation directed at anyone white, light eyed or light haired. [Bear in mind, now, that THIS is the state in which Barry Soetoro is purported to have spent several of his formative years]. See May 6th''s Logistics Monster AYFKM for first hand account on that one.

And now for the Worst of the Day. World Net Daily calls it "Shocking to the Conscience," a term once used in SCOTUS decisions to indicate...well...things so abominable that they...shock the conscience. Today's Conscience Banger is the new hate crime legislation passed by the House of Representatives wherein

"House of Representatives passed legislation last week to add sexual orientation and gender to the list of categories covered by federal "hate-crimes" laws. 'Pedophilia is one of the scores of sexual orientations that are included, that are protected, that are granted special preferred status under this legislation to the exclusion of other classifications of people,' says Matt Barber of Liberty Counsel".

Except that...illegal acts are NOT protected under the law, the Constitution or anything else. BECAUSE THEY ARE ILLEGAL. As the old saw states, our right to free expression does NOT include the right to yell "FIRE!" in a crowded theater because it is detrimental to the freedom of OTHERS. Ergo, anyone doing something against the law DOES NOT HAVE THE FREEDOM TO DO IT. THEY ARE NOT PROTECTED BECAUSE IT IS ILLEGAL AND VIOLATES THE EITHER THE SPIRIT OF OUR LAWS OR THE PERSONAL FREEDOM OF OTHERS. Hence, killing people and stealing their money, their innocence or their peace of mind are NOT protected actions.

Truly, we have a Congress of morons. Craven cretins who neither know the law nor the spirit of it, the intention behind it or anything else having to do with--dare I say it--Common Sense. This Congress, few to none of whose children are going to war, refused to include the protection of Veterans in this legislation, but they are entirely willing to protect the rights of those who would violate the rights of others. For what else is a pedophile if not one who is so cavalier and self absorbed that they would violate children?

I'm done. Stick a fork in me. There is no hope of reasoning with a Congress so uninterested in everything but their own full, life long pensions. Clearly they have either forgotten their World History class or never had it, or they would heed the lesson of the tumbrils and remember that cake thing with a healthy concern.
