The last few days in the runup to this day, the 100th anniversary of the Communist revolution in Russia, show why the public record is important, deserves protection, and deserves expansion.

The JFK papers released in the past few days reveal government spying on Dr. Martin Luther King. The documents, which reporters said were dated from 1964 through 1968, claim the feds found out Dr. King was a lecher and a drunk. Since LBJ was president and Bobby Kennedy was his Attorney General for some of those years, and J. Edgar Hoover ran the FBI during all of those years, the spying effort reeks of hypocrisy.

LBJ was a lecher. Bobby Kennedy was a lecher. J. Edgar Hoover was a reputed homosexual. Assuming what the feds found was true about Dr. King, that doesn’t change the fact he did a hell of a lot of good and died a martyr to his cause, even if he violated the commandment against adultery multiple times. And why are these documents, which bore no relevance to JFK’s murder, in the JFK files to begin with? President Kennedy was foully murdered on November 22, 1963. Bobby’s successors as Attorney General under LBJ, Nicholas Katzenbach and Ramsey Clark, enjoyed reputations as civil rights advocates, but kept quiet about the spying on Dr. King. They were loyal to their own careers.

It is also possible the reports are false. LBJ was the most sociopathic liar to occupy the White House not named Bill Clinton. Bobby wasn’t known for his veracity. And Hoover slimed one of the FBI’s greatest agents – Melvin Purvis – out of jealousy. Hoover was a desk jockey. Purvis was a field agent who was in on killing murderers John Dillinger, Baby Face Nelson, and Pretty Boy Floyd – all in 1934!

Katzenbach and Clark, as Democrat functionaries, were expected to do LBJ’s bidding in sliming Dr. King. They followed orders. Katzenbach even came up with the idea of the Warren Commission, saying the public needed to “be satisfied” Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone.

The unsaid thing in these document releases is that the papers showing JFK was shot in the neck and head from the front, and in the head from the back have apparently not surfaced yet. Clinton henchman Sandy “Brown Shorts” Berger smuggled documents embarrassing to his bosses out of a National Archives reading room in his underpants. The FBI, the CIA, the Secret Service and LBJ and his people had plenty of time to destroy records and plant false documents into the JFK murder files.

Autopsy records in some states are open records and in other states are not open records. The Dallas County Coroner wanted to perform the autopsy on President Kennedy, but feds shoved him aside and took JFK’s body to Bethesda Naval Hospital in Maryland. Navy doctors performed the autopsy while Secret Service personnel and other feds were in attendance. They claimed JFK was shot from behind only. And they refused to release the records.

LBJ had the most to gain from John Kennedy’s death. He also had Dr. King surveilled, and it is too convenient to blame the death of the civil rights hero on a lone peckerwood like James Earl Ray. Bobby Kennedy might have prosecuted LBJ if he won the presidency in 1968, so there are some who lay the blame for his murder at the feet of the Texas interloper.

Complete autopsy records have yet to be released. And they will be suspect even if released fully, because the feds have had more than a half century to mickey with the documents and photographs and other evidence in the murder case. Secrecy breeds distrust.

All the civil libertarians under LBJ who regained their voices when Tricky Dick Nixon, a Republican, became president, were silent when a president of their own party bent or broke federal laws to slime Martin Luther King. And they were silent when LBJ maybe did something even worse – order the murder of JFK.

The National Enquirer, the nation’s publication of record, reported that CIA chief John McCone, in a memo to the Secret Service chief dated March 3, 1964, admitted Lee Harvey Oswald was a CIA asset who underwent training before he was ordered to go to the Soviet Union, posing as an anti-American defector. This would explain why the feds would welcome Oswald (and the Soviet babe he acquired) back to the USA with no repercussions.

This document was not released in the recent JFK assassination document releases. It has been around for awhile. I saw it some weeks ago and held back on reporting it on this site because I couldn’t verify its source.

The National Enquirer claims an investigator for New Orleans District Attorney Jim Garrison says the memo is authentic.

Will the original be found? Or was it destroyed while in the hands of the Warren Commission, or other custodians of ill repute in the federal government?

(Why do I sarcastically call the National Enquirer the nation’s publication of record? Because they report on politicians like they report on celebs – they show their sleaziness truthfully. The National Enquirer showed the Clintons were degenerates while they were staining the White House with their DNA – something none of the official media would dare do or want to do.)

Speaking of the gift that keeps on giving, the Hillary Clinton presidential campaign, she and it remain in the news for all the wrong reasons.

Yesterday was All Saints Day, when Catholic believers honor those canonized as saints. Some are saints because of their holy lives. Some are saints because of their zeal and fortitude, like Saint Patrick. Some are saints because of their abilities to handle life’s trials and help others, like Mother Theresa. Some are saints because they were martyrs who died for the Faith instead of denying God and the truths they learned from the Church. The Apostles, many Christians during the days of the Romans, and people like Sir Thomas More are in this category. Others, like the Maccabees and Joan of Arc, served their nations at the call of God and died in battle or were killed treacherously or were executed openly, like Joan. The vast majority of saints are unknown but to their loved ones and some others, because they lived lives pleasing to God and He has called them home to Heaven.

Martyrdom of St. Perpetua. The soldier did not want to kill her but was under orders to do so. She guided his sword to her throat.

99 and I have been blessed to see the work of men like Junipero Serra, who evangelized California and showed the American Indians how to live in European-American society. We have placed our hands on the sarcophagus of King Wenceslas of the Czechs died a martyr to the Faith as he fought his pagan brother and other homicidal members of his court. We prayed before the tomb of his grandmother St. Ludmilla, whose own pagan daughter strangled her. We stood before the memorial to St. John Nepomuk, who a king killed because he would not divulge the queen’s confession. The king suspected his queen had an affair and wanted names. These holy people lay interred inside the churches of Prague Castle.

In Ireland, we stood at Tara, where St. Patrick evangelized the High King and members of his court, outside, at night, inside a ring of torches and armed guards. And on the eve of All Saints Day we attended Mass in the little village church in Lorraine in France where Joan of Arc was baptized, attended Mass, received Penance, Communion, and Confirmation, and learned her faith before God Himself sent her on a mission to free her people from the English. Since the town is remote, we were immediately the objects of the parishioners’ attention that evening. The priest knew enough English and 99 knew enough French so he and his parishioners could learn a little about us and what brought us to the home parish of such a famous saint.

And in Pittsburgh we saw the skulls, bones, and other relics of many martyrs and holy men and women of God, and a thorn from the Crown of Thorns. The pastor of Saint Anthony’s Chapel, in the Troy Hill neighborhood of Pittsburgh, near where the steel mills used to be, had brought these to America when mobs in Germany and Italy were looting churches to support secular rulers of those lands and to grab the gold and silver that encased the relics. The church also has life-size Stations of the Cross carved from wood and painted like Nativity Scene figures which the pastor rescued from a church in Germany. St. Anthony’s Chapel is macabre and sobering at the same time, a place where I have undergone humbling examinations of conscience in the presence of the bones of those whose lives and deaths made them great.

All Souls’ Day, Franz Skarbina

Today is All Souls Day, in which Catholics pray for the repose of souls not in Hell, but not purified enough yet to be in Heaven. Not all Christians agree with us, but we will pray for their loved ones as well as ours, for God has not revealed to us who He has called home.

President Donald Trump, in a not-widely-covered move, ordered the quick release of the remaining JFK assassination documents late Friday. He said the only redactions he would allow to be made to these documents would be names and addresses of those who are still alive.

CNN reported Mr. Trump was angry the FBI and CIA wanted to withhold so many documents and/or make so many redactions that it violated the spirit of public disclosure.

CNN reported President Trump tweeted, “I am doing this for reasons of full disclosure, transparency and in order to put any and all conspiracy theories to rest.”

Mr. Trump is smart enough to make billions of dollars, engineer a hostile takeover of the less corrupt of the two major corrupt parties, and win the presidency despite being opposed by the Democrats and most of the top people in the Republican Party and their donors.

He knows that the remaining documents will show the involvement of government people in the murder of President Kennedy. Or they won’t, because CIA and FBI operatives and other criminals have had more than 50 years to get rid of incriminating evidence. If the former is right, people will have more proof of a government conspiracy. If the latter is right, those who believe there was a government conspiracy will blame LBJ, the FBI, the CIA, and other criminals of destroying the evidence. Like Clinton official Sandy (Brown Shorts) Berger did when he stuffed 9-11 documents in his reeking underpants to steal them and protect his master and mistress.

Two different people shot JFK, one from the front, and one from the rear. The Warren Commission said Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. That’s essentially all the evidence most thinking people need to know the investigation was more of a cover-up than a search for the truth.

I believe President Trump has two political motives for making the disclosures as complete as possible. One is to paint himself as an honorable man in contrast to the corrupt Democrats and establishment Republicans. The other, more important motive, in my opinion, is to protect himself from assassination by punishing the Deep State – and getting historical precedent to do so by reminding people the Deep State murdered JFK. The Deep State tried to murder or remove from office Ronald Reagan. But he survived in office, so that wound isn’t as deep in the national mind. Since liberals and some moderates and even some conservatives like Jack, the wound and the hurt are still there for many. Mr. Trump handled it right.

Now for another conspiracy aimed at parents and taxpayers across the country.

Friday evening I got commo from one of the Colorado Attorney General’s staffers saying her boss was going to appeal the ridiculous ruling of the federal judge who ruled the state’s sex offender data base is unconstitutional. She said the appeal is going to the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals, which is in Denver. Formal arguments are pending.

I commented earlier on this site crackpot federal judge Richard Matsch ruled Colorado public officials had to kill the state’s sex offender registry and pay reparations to sex offenders. The lawyer for the predatory scum, errr, sex offender plaintiffs, is working at least two other similar cases, and in one of the cases, the ACLU is also involved on the side of the rapists and against the public.

This is a big deal. This is the ACLU and allied shysters’ next play for your money and your children.

This week’s headlines show why knowing about public records is so important, and why it is important to hold government people accountable.

Yesterday, on the orders of President Trump, the feds released most of the documents on the assassination of JFK they have been hiding for more than half a century. Apparently some agencies like the CIA didn’t take their responsibility to the people seriously, because these obstructionists reportedly weren’t ready to release some records. They are getting an extension of no more than six months from President Trump to review their records for national security concerns and make them available for public scrutiny.

Ironically, this week a leftist crazy on a watch list got thru Capitol police checkpoints to try to assault President Trump. Government officials are calling this latest failure police incompetence. Others are calling it a dry run.

Secret Service agents were caught with their pants down yet again, like in JFK’s murder and in the attempted murder of President Reagan by a family friend of then-Vice President George H. W. Bush. President Trump should be bolstering his security and be firing and investigating those who failed.

On to the Las Vegas mass murder. It’s quiet because the feds and the Las Vegas police are not talking. Enterprising reporters decided to see if there are records border security people keep on who enters the country that could be made public. They found out Customs and Border Patrol agents do keep such lists, and they reported federal agents told them Mandalay Bay Hotel’s own Jesus Campos was on it. Campos, the security guard who one of the shooters reportedly shot, went to Mexico shortly after the mass murder, and returned several days later. The feds didn’t note when Campos went south, but did note he returned.

These reporters also reportedly accessed another public record – the database held by Nevada state officials on licensed security guards. The reporters claimed Campos was not on it, and then asked Las Vegas police what if any license a casino guard needs in Nevada. The police spokesman apparently wasn’t too happy about the question. The reporters noted he said, “Jesus Campos is a victim and we don’t speak about victims.” He could have answered the question or shrugged and said he didn’t know instead of acting like a churlish knothead.

The Sun, a British paper, reported local or federal authorities claim one of the shooters, Stephen Paddock, removed a hard drive from his laptop computer. There is no proof Paddock did it, but that’s their story and they’re sticking to it.

Paddock’s brother Bruce probably wishes he removed his own computer’s hard drive. Lawmen in Los Angeles arrested him this week after reportedly finding hundreds of images of child pornography on his computer. He is being held on an one count of child pornography and 19 counts of sexual exploitation of a child.

One of my friends, a first responder, explained possibly why it took the police SWAT team about an hour to break in on Stephen Paddock after they reached the floor he was reportedly shooting from. My friend said it was probably their decision, based on their protocol, to check rooms and try to get innocent people out of harm’s way. When I asked him why they didn’t just let the people shelter in their locked rooms while they took out a guy they still believed to be alive, he said it was also possible, due to their protocol, they were checking all the rooms on the floor for a trap before they went all in on the known shooter, who was not shooting while they were on the 32nd floor.

A trap? Like another shooter. Or shooters. Or some other assailant(s). This is why I ask people in the know for their informed opinions.

On to the last two stories, which both center on the sociopathic corruption of Hillary Clinton. Peter Schweizer, the author of “Clinton Cash,” used public records of State Department and U.S. Government actions, available through federal FOIA requests and website searches, to track how Hillary helped put American uranium ore deposits owned by Canadian firm Uranium One under the control of Russian government company Rosatom when they bought Uranium One. She and other Obama officials okayed the sale of most of Uranium One to the Russians, which put 20% of known U.S. uranium reserves into Russian hands. In 2013, Rosatom bought the rest of Uranium One.

The long-withheld JFK assassination records are on pace to be public records tomorrow, thanks to President Trump.

The CIA is fighting the release, claiming it would give up CIA techniques.

The CIA shouldn’t be involved in domestic crimes unless foreign agents are involved.

More than a few speculate the CIA had a hand in JFK’s assassination. Bush 41, who was the CIA chief, covered for his agency by kicking the can on the JFK assassination down the road. Clinton, Bush 43, and Obama made no attempt to release these records. Props to Donald Trump for deciding to release the records.

Trump’s toughness has caused the FBI, the CIA, and the National Security Agency (NSA) to stand exposed as being riddled with criminals and conspirators in their top echelons.

The release of the JFK records might help protect President Trump’s life. The Secret Service’s historical failure to protect JFK, coupled with their failure in dealing with an attack on President Trump yesterday, might well force needed changes to protect the president’s life and the interests of we the people who voted for him to lead the nation and carry out our will.  Recall the first person to cover JFK when he was shot from the front and from the back was Jackie Kennedy. The self-styled badasses of the Secret Service were slow in reaching the fallen president. When they tried to prevent Jackie, spattered with her husband’s blood and brain tissue, from seeing him in the hospital in Dallas, she bitterly retorted she was as competent as the Secret Service agents were. Actually she was better.

The Secret Service pukes choked (or worse, deliberately failed to act) when a leftist provocateur threw Russian flags at President Trump when he paid a visit to Capitol Hill yesterday. There are projectile-shooting weapons that are not metal; an assassin can get by metal detectors. The Secret Service Barneys were a day late and a dollar short again. Was this a test run to figure out how weak the Secret Service and other government security agents are? Or worse, are the Secret Service people riddled with those who wish Donald Trump harm and will deliberately fail to protect him? President Trump hopefully will make changes to better his protection.

On the federal level, the Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552 in the federal law books) regulates what federal records are public. You can see this on the Web to get more detailed info about this federal government’s basic public records law.

The states have similar records disclosure laws to the federal government. The states of the Northeast and California are the most dismissive of the public’s rights. Not so coincidentally they are the most corrupt of the states if you don’t count Illinois. Most other states have good open records laws and practices.

The federal Freedom of Information Act and similar state statutes allow you the citizen to get copies of government records that are releaseable if they exist in a readily retrievable fashion. These laws apply to people the government has checked on if info the agency has about them is releaseable under the freedom of information act (federal or state) that applies to their agencies.

Phone records exist on government-owned phones. Creative FOIA diggers could request a list of phone calls a public official made. Prosecutors grab these phone records from time to time. Media people file for these phone records from time to time. You could have FOIA people search for phone calls made to and from the phone numbers of officials you want to check on.

The same applies to government e-mail accounts. You could find out who government agents and officials have e-mailed or gotten e-mails from. IRS harpy Lois Lerner had to resign because disclosures of her e-mails indicate she was abusing her power as a tax official to target groups who opposed the Obama administration.

This is why Hillary Clinton used a private e-mail server – to hide her official e-mail communications from public view.

If you can frame a freedom of information request in a way that will cross-reference records a government agency keeps, odds are they will do business with you if the info is releaseable under the public records laws. The best way to proceed on this is to ask the freedom of information employee what types of records her or his agency keeps, and what they call their various reports and other records. Work with them to define what you want in a way that they can do the research on your target for you without charging you a great deal of money in search time, and so they will not refuse the request on grounds they don’t keep such info organized in the way you demand receiving it.

What would you do if you got shot and found out the cops were in cahoots with those who let the shooters on their property, from where they shot at you?

And what would you do if you bribed foreigners at the request of the FBI to catch them, and then they threatened to send you to prison to keep you from disclosing the truth before a presidential election to protect one of the candidates?

In recent days, we were treated to these back to back disclosures regarding the FBI.

Jesus Campos, the Mandalay Bay security guard who couldn’t stop the murders of 60 people and the wounding of hundreds of others at the Route 91 Harvest in Las Vegas, surfaced on Ellen De Generes’ talk show couch after he had been laying low for several days.

Ellen, best known for her lame comedy, got an “exclusive” interview with Campos and his sidekick Stephen Schuck. In exchange, the lesbian comic lobbed softball questions and generally tried to make good PR for MGM Resorts, who owns the Mandalay Bay Hotel, which shooter(s) used as firing points to murder 60 or so country music fans and wound more than 500 more.

It turns out Ellen has ties to MGM too. In September 2017, she gladhanded gamblers playing the slots at the MGM Grand. They have Ellen De Generes slot machines. This came from Kathryn Allison, writing for “Casinopedia” 9/21/2017. Kathryn tastefully declined to tell Canadian players not to feed any of their beaver nickels to Ellen’s slots.

I held off writing about the MGM Ellenfest until an independent voice provided further info on what went into the decision.

Per the British paper Daily Mail on 10/19/2017:

“After originally agreeing to do five interviews, Campos suddenly went missing, his union boss, who was helping set up the deal, told DailyMail.com.

David Hickey, president of the Michigan-based International Union, Security Police and Fire Professionals of America, would not confirm that MGM was behind the decision, but said the company influenced the guard.

“I was in a meeting with MGM’s upper management and they were definitely concerned about how tough someone like (Fox News’ Sean) Hannity would be on him and they voiced their opinions,” Hickey said.

“Everyone knew he wasn’t to talk about security protocols, staffing or training or give out names of employees,” he told the outlet, adding that the company pressured Campos not to reveal too much.

“I thought they were being negative, telling him that someone was going to be tough and how they were worried about his health — it wasn’t the thing he needed to hear four hours before the interviews were going to begin,” he said.”

MGM Resorts stands to lose millions of dollars over the way they handled everything surrounding the mass murder that people in their building committed, and their employees failed to prevent.

Better for the MGM corporate masters to let a comedienne and actress try to sell the public on a false timeline for the crime and elicit sympathy for Campos and Schuck than to let Campos blurt out the truth unrehearsed on a news and commentary show. Let the victims be damned!

Meanwhile Las Vegas Metro Police spokesman Larry Hadfield blamed Campos’ disappearance on independent journalist Laura Loomer. Maybe he was angry Miss Loomer had put his police force in a clown suit and the FBI in a Pinocchio costume.

Miss Loomer showed lawmen were lying about when alleged shooter Stephen Paddock first came to the Mandalay Bay Hotel. She also showed there were more than one person eating overpriced room service food Paddock was paying for. She also posted a flyer MGM Resorts put out urging their employees to donate to Moslem extremist front group CAIR (Council on American Islamic Relations) and the leftist extremist group Southern Poverty Law Center. She accused FBI agents of lying about the timeline of the shootings.

Toward the end of the “Wizard of Oz,” Dorothy’s dog Toto pulled back the curtain to reveal the Wizard as a scam artist.

Someone similar happened recently. Someone made sex offender charges against Harvey Weinstein that the media finally saw fit to print.

Actress Rose McGowan, who the lecherous film exec settled out of court with when she charged he sexually abused her, and two other of Weinstein’s victims were finally believed. Their charges went viral when the New York Times published them in early October.

Harvey gave all kinds of money to various Democrats.

The Obamas let their daughter Malia intern for Harvey Weinstein recently.

Obama’s own mother Stanley Ann Dunham (no apparent relation to ugly exhibitionist Lena Dunham) was a model for pornographer Frank Marshall Davis. This is why some charge Davis and not Obama Senior was Barry’s natural father. There’s a silver lining to this for BO. If Frank Davis actually was Barry’s babydaddy, then since Davis was born in Kansas, the birther thing goes away.

Weinstein isn’t the only sex offender who gives big to the party of the Clintons. Most actors and actresses, TV and movie execs, musicians, and music business execs donate to leftist politicians. There has been no push from the Democrats who run the justice system in New York and California to do anything about the child molesting and rapes of girls, boys, and young women that these entertainment industry vermin commit.

Ironically, two presidents have showbiz backgrounds — Ronald Reagan and Donald Trump. But they are far outside the mainstream of entertainment business groupthink. “Old Hollywood” stars who were friends of Reagan helped him, but most of Hollywood attacked him. Virtully no one in the entertainment business who is big has had anything but hatred to spew at Trump. Espousing leftist politics, like covering up for powerful sex offenders, keeps you working in showbiz.

As the picture shows, Harvey Weinstein’s money really arouses Hillary. She and her foundation are refusing to give back any of the money Weinstein gave her.

The same with other Democrats who got Harveywood money. Those who are “giving up” funds are routing the cash to other political groups with similar goals to theirs, so it is a sham.

Harvey Weinstein gave big money to Planned Parenthood. Why not? He doesn’t want to pay child support, so they need to be available to abort the results of his exploitation. The Planned Parenthood Nazis aren’t giving up Harvey’s blood money either.

Harvey’s money even got Lisa Bloom, the phony feminist attorney daughter of feminist ambulance chaser Gloria Allred, to whore for him. Rose McGowan charged the female shyster offered her $6 million to support Weinstein publicly when he started to take incoming fire. Rose turned it down. Rose also shamed actresses and actors who are friends or enablers or servicers of Weinstein for their silence.

In the late evening of October 1, 2017, a person or persons stationed in a suite and/or adjacent hotel room on the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay Hotel in Las Vegas started shooting on a crowd of concert goers to the Route 91 Harvest, a country music festival. The firing lasted about 10 minutes, and the person or persons doing the firing killed close to 60 innocent people and wounded more than 500 victims.

Two weeks later, the law enforcement officials in charge of investigating this horrible crime are starting to stand accused of an ugly crime nowhere near as brutal, but potentially fatal for their credibility – providing information in such a way as to stand accused of potential official coverup.

And the security guard who may well have seen who went in and/or out of a room the shooter used as a sniper post went missing five days ago, just before he was to tell his story to a national TV audience. Top that, Area 51 buffs.

I have held back from writing about this tragedy for so many decent people and their loved ones because I’m not there investigating the crimes against them personally.

However, what we’re hearing is not making many people feel good about the honesty of those telling us what happened.

Murder is a crime that falls under the jurisdiction of local law enforcement. However, the FBI will take part in a criminal investigation if the perpetrators violated federal laws or if the criminals appear to have crossed state lines or if the local people need extra help. The federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms will take part perpetrators broke federal laws involving these items. And other federal forces (ICE, Secret Service, and the like) will take part if the lawbreaking involves their areas of concentration.

Clark County Sheriff Joe Lombardo, who leads the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department responsible for policing Las Vegas and the rest of Clark County, is the local lawman in charge of the Route 91 Harvest mass murder investigation. The FBI is also involved. The FBI’s Special Agent in charge of the Las Vegas Division is Aaron Rouse. Disgraced fired FBI chief James Comey appointed Rouse to the position in July 2016, per a 7/28/2016 FBI press release.

The narrative being pushed by law enforcement is that one demented guy did it.
He snapped and went off, supposedly, due to a downturn in his life or gambling losses. Opponents of citizens’ right to bear arms right away called for massive gun control.

Days later, police announced they found notes that were calculations on trajectory, distance, and other technical matters that would have helped a shooter kill more people. Were the notes in Paddock’s handwriting? If so, it implies Paddock was a careful planner.

FBI people said the shooter acted alone.

Then Sheriff Lombardo blurted out the obvious at a press conference a few days later, according to a report in the 10/5/2017 Daily Mail.

“Do you think this was all accomplished on his own?” Lombardo asked, noting the arsenal of weapons the shooter amassed, and the discovery of explosives in his car. He added: “You’ve got to make the assumption he had to have some help at some point.”

Officials also said Paddock checked in to the Mandalay Bay Hotel September 28.

But an independent reporter named Laura Loomer reported valet records indicate Paddock was at the hotel as early as September 25. She accused FBI officials of lying.

It is conceivable one man could have taken all the guns and ammo up to the room in question using an elevator and a luggage cart. Paddock supposedly kept the housekeepers out, so they couldn’t report his arms cache.

But why would the guy need all that weaponry? No shooter used much of what he had.

He was alone in his room, lawmen said. His shack-up honey, one Marilou Danley, an Australian citizen of Filipino ancestry who met Paddock while she was a hostess for high rollers in casinos, went out of the country not long before his killing spree. She left her husband of 25 years, a man named Geary Danley, to be with Paddock. Paddock reportedly wired her as much as $100,000 while she was in the Philippines in late September.

But room service receipts that surfaced implied he was ordering for two. Who was the second person?

Columbus Day … once a day of civic remembrance, is now just another paid holiday at our expense for federal and state and local government and public school loafers.

It is now ground zero for some social justice weenies who want to deface the great captain’s statues.

When I was young, the only statues in danger of defacement were those on college campuses.

Rival schools’ students would paint, say, Tommy Trojan, in their school colors.

Now a bunch of spoiled children are wanting to vandalize statues of Christopher Columbus. Some have already been defaced.  (Columbus statue in Central Park, NYC, is below and right.)

Like it or not, Columbus made it possible for permanent European settlement in America. Like it or not, Europeans settled the Americas and their descendants born in the Americas organized them into the societies we have today. That’s historical fact, not fiction.

Columbus and his men sailed across the Atlantic Ocean in wooden ships using navigational tools no more complex than a quadrant and an astrolabe. He kept a log and timed his voyage with a sandglass. And he could read star positions to guess his position at night. The average social justice warrior, at least one who owns a car, couldn’t find his way across town without a GPS.

Columbus’s voyage wasn’t even the most important event in Spain’s calendar that year. In January 1492, the Catholic rulers Fernando and Isabella and their soldiers smashed Moslem resistance at Granada and forced the Moors to return to North Africa. Ending the bloodthirsty and predatory occupation of Spain by Moslems that lasted almost eight centuries brought peace and unity to Spain.

New York police supposedly are guarding Columbus’ statue in New York. Maybe members of the Mafia are monitoring other statues so they can treat the disrespect of the First Italian with the severity they decide it deserves.

This follows on the heels of the Confederate statue controversy.

The desire to remove Jeff Davis’ and Nathan Bedford Forrest’s statues are rational. One ran the Confederacy; the other ran the KKK and massacred black soldiers.

But Silent Sam and other statues which show the average Rebel soldier should absolutely stay up. Like it or not, more than half the white men in the states of the Confederacy – about 1.5 million men – served in its rebellious army. Those statues represent Everyman in those states who left family and home and served in a war the evil and dumb politicians of those states started. Their bravery accounts for why the Civil War lasted so long. My ancestors in blue and about 2.8 million other Union soldiers needed four years to put them down.

Re-enactments of Civil War battles and the Old West are heritage, not hatred. The Yanks (including 200,000 blacks in uniform) and Rebs and cowboys and Indians and Buffalo Soldiers were tough.

We treasure American Indian memorials today even though many tribal nations were at war with the United States. And there is a monument in San Diego County, California that commemorates the victory of Mexicans and Spaniards over Americans at San Pasqual. It happened. We lost that day. Both sides’ men fought bravely. The monument belongs.

If there is any monument we should destroy, it is the monument we allowed the Japanese to put up in the Aleutian Islands to remember their dead. They sneak-attacked us and seized Alaskan islands. They murdered tens of millions of Asians and forced many thousands of women to service their troops sexually. To quote Harry Truman after Hiroshima and Nagasaki, “Screw the Japs.” Melt that monument into bullets for our military. The social justice punks are nowhere in sight on that issue. They are too busy affirming draft dodgers and sex offenders like Bill Clinton.

We don’t fail to honor the service of American men, even in the Balkan wars, although Bill Clinton wrongfully decided to have thousands of Serbs murdered after he was outed receiving oral sex from Monica Lewinsky. One could argue our men were in the wrong because the Serbs were fighting Moslem aggression. Friends of mine who served in that fiasco did not want to kill the Serbs, and they were disgusted by our Moslem “allies.”

Some argue the monument to Ulysses S. Grant in New York should come down. The agitators flunked history. Grant won the Civil War, which allowed the outlawing of slavery. But New Yorkers weren’t fond of Grant when he was alive. A very low proportion of New York City residents served in the Civil War, and draft riots in the Big Apple in 1863 were so severe that Union soldiers who had just fought at Gettysburg had to quell the rioters. New York City was pro-Southern and mostly Democrat during the war; their leaders hindered the draft and other pro-Union work during the Civil War. Those are historical facts too.

Maybe Ulysses and Julia Grant should come home to the Midwest if New York City’s ingrates want them and their memories gone.

Why can’t Bill and Hillary be buried east of the Mississippi River? Unfortunately they’re not dead yet.

The social justice weenies want Andrew Jackson’s statue in New Orleans gone. Again, jealousy. Or maybe (how do I say this without vulgarity?) envy of his masculinity. Jackson and Creoles, Kentuckians, Southerners, blacks and some reputed pirates protected the Crescent City from British invasion and looting. In the process, they killed half the redcoats sent against them, and killed the general who led them.

DC was not so fortunate. The Brits burned the White House four months earlier. The feds fled. But Dolley Madison and the servants and slaves of the White House spirited away George Washington’s portrait, the dies and plates used to make U.S. coins and paper money, and some important government records. Dolley’s heroism and charm is why the great Zachary Taylor, speaking at her funeral, called her the “First Lady” of America.

Some scumbag spray-painted the statue of Padre Junípero Serra in front of San Fernando Mission in L.A.s’ San Fernando Valley this year. Father Serra protected American Indians from the harshest aspects of Spanish rule, and integrated American Indians into Hispanic society.

Some inbred scumbag even spray-painted social justice gibberish on the beautiful golden bronze statue of Joan of Arc in New Orleans this year. Not a single feminist complained. Guess they were too busy servicing Harvey Weinstein. Joan and her men lifted the siege of Orleans in France, the city our own Big Easy is named after. She is the patroness of New Orleans.

Some Chicago pinhead, whose mother may be unsure who his father is, defaced and set fire to a statue of Abraham Lincoln earlier this year. This, after some loser or losers defaced the Lincoln Memorial in DC. No good deed goes unpunished.

Destroying history is robbing Americans of their heritage. Then charlatans can rush in and make ridiculous claims. Like President Obama did when he claimed Moslems helped build America. Yep, Abdul Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence. Habeeb Beauregard fought in the Civil War. And Mohammed and Clark explored the West.

Those who forget history are condemned to repeat it.

On October 7 this past Saturday, more than one million Poles traveled to the boundaries of their nation to pray the Rosary for the protection of their nation. Why?

On October 7, 1571, outnumbered Spanish, Italian, and Croatian sailors and soldiers under the command of Don Juan of Austria defeated the Moslem Turks in the sea battle of Lepanto off the Greek coast. It was the last great sea battle between galleys. Pope Saint Pius V attributed the victory to the praying of the Rosary, and he chose October 7 to be Our Lady of the Rosary Day on the Catholic calendar.

The Poles and other Eastern Europeans are muscular Catholics, not sissy kumbaya Catholics. 99 and I attend Mass in Eastern European ethnic parishes when we can for this reason. They defended Europe from the Mongols and Moslems. The Poles and other Eastern Europeans lifted the Moslem Turk siege of Vienna in 1683. The Poles fought the Nazis and the Communists. When they were expelling Swedish invaders in the mid 1600s, one of the bishops of Poland fired a cannon at the Swedes.

During World War Two, Bishop Fulton J. Sheen said the Poles were like Christ, crucified between thieves. FDR’s leftist bedwetter functionaries contacted Bishop Sheen and demanded he not attack the Communist Soviet Union as they were our allies. Bishop Sheen replied he would call the Russians the good thieves.

Poland’s faithful Catholics ignored the social justice ravings of Pope Francis, who wants Europe to let in so many Moslems that it becomes Eurabia. They prayed for the protection of their land. They know what it is like to face oppression.

So do the Hungarians, the Lithuanians, the Czechs, the Slovaks, the Croatians, and the Slovenes (Melania’s people); these nations are historically Catholic. So do the historically Orthodox Christian Serbs, Romanians, Bulgarians, Greeks, and Macedonians.

It is no co-incidence the people and leaders of these lands are reaching out to fellow nationalist and promoter of European and American civilization Donald Trump. Their patriots and our patriots have the same God and Nation and Family mindset.

Prayers can help other Christian societies as well. America is mostly a Protestant society. Who besides atheists and jihadists would argue God doesn’t listen to Protestants’ and Jews’ prayers when they reflect His will? Washington prayed regularly at Valley Forge. Zachary Taylor declared a day of fasting and prayer during an epidemic in 1849. Taylor also postponed his inauguration for a day because the day fell on a Sunday. He believed people’s prayers were more important than politicians’ power. (Compare this to how LBJ crudely took power while poor Jackie Kennedy, spattered with JFK’s blood and all cried out, watched in shock.) Abraham Lincoln set up Thanksgiving as a national holiday. And he said America should try to be on God’s side instead of assuming God was on America’s side. These great men were Protestants.

Back to Columbus. When he presented some American Indian captives in chains to Fernando and Isabella, Queen Isabella became enraged. “Unchain them!” she demanded. “These are my subjects, not slaves!”

Those who criticize Queen Isabella should remember she fought Moslems who used treachery and murder against her people. Queen Isabella was harsh on enemies of Spain. She was also harsh on rapists. She had them executed, sometimes by fire. What good parent wouldn’t want a person of Queen Isabella’s mindset in charge of prosecution of those who molest children?

What historical figure is without flaw?

Only Jesus Christ. And He was crucified by the jealous.

So, now that I’ve meandered thru history, what should you take away from today’s post?

Simply these:

A nation whose people forget their history are condemned to repeat it.

A nation whose people turn their backs on God will get His assent in keeping His helping hands away from them.

SHERLOCK JUSTICE

WE CAN SHOW YOU HOW TO BE YOUR OWN DETECTIVE.

A California parole board in September 2017 did what too many California parole boards do – recommend a murderer be released back into Society.

But this one was special. They recommended that Leslie Van Houten, a Manson Family killer, be released.

When she went on trial, Leslie Van Houten was disruptive and defiant, because Charles Manson wanted it that way. It got out Leslie had problems before she met Manson. Perhaps they made her receptive to his message.

I like the look on the policewoman between Patty and Leslie. My brother (who I don’t name for his own privacy), a Manson Trial buff, gave me the heads-up on Leslie’s possible break.

Leslie said her boyfriend impregnated her when she was 17, then abandoned her. Leslie said her divorced mother, with whom she lived, forced her into an “induced miscarriage” …. in other words, an abortion. It was 1966, when most people and even most judges and politicians understood abortion for covering up unwed or illicit sexual activity was homicide. So Leslie said her mother got a referral for a doctor who might abort her child illegally and had her do things that would cause her to abort the second-trimester baby. She passed the baby at home and buried her in the back yard.

Adults told Leslie it was okay to kill for convenience.

Leslie heard from her peers it was also okay to kill for Charlie. On August 10, 1969, Leslie was one of a bunch of Manson Family members who murdered Rosemary and Leno La Bianca. They stabbed the couple scores of times.

Charles Manson sent out Linda Kasabian, Susan Atkins, Patricia Krenwinkel, and Charles “Tex” Watson to murder actress Sharon Tate and her unborn baby, hair stylist Jay Sebring, heiress Abigail Folger, and her companion Wojciech Frykowski one evening earlier. Watson also murdered Steven Parent, a teen who was leaving the premises that night (August 9, 1969 going to August 10, 1969).

The next night Manson was with the other killers. He picked the La Bianca residence and had Leslie Van Houten, Patricia, Susan, and Tex murder the couple after he and Tex tied them up.

Linda Kasabian, who was present both nights, refused to attack anyone. Manson ordered her to drive because she was the only one who had a valid driver’s license.

Watson fled to Texas months later and was convicted separately from the other Manson murderers after a long extradition fight.

Leslie was not attracted sexually to Manson; she was several inches taller than him. She had a crush on another Manson Family killer named Bobby “Cupid” Beausoliel. (Beausoleil and Bruce Davis killed musician Gary Hinman after Manson slashed Hinman’s ear with a sword.) But Leslie committed murder at Manson’s command. She also fired two lawyers who intended to put on a defense for her that would blame her actions on Manson. When her court-appointed lawyer Ronald Hughes tried to do the same toward the end of the trial, he wound up murdered.

Linda Kasabian ran away from the Manson Family days after the murders and was the star witness in the trials that led to their convictions. Jurors found Leslie, Patricia, Susan, and Manson guilty of murdering the La Biancas. They also convicted Manson, Ms. Krenwinkel, and Ms. Atkins of the murders of Sharon Tate, Ms. Folger, Frykowski, and Sebring. Other jurors convicted Watson of these crime later.

California parole officials recommended parole for Leslie Van Houten in September 2017. They had also first recommended parole for Leslie in 2016, but Governor Jerry Brown shot it down. Brown may also flush the 2017 recommendation for her release. Parole officials also want to release Manson Family killer Bruce Davis, but Brown has kept him in prison. So far. Brown, like a stopped watch, is right once in a while.
