Mob Life.

~~

The Mafia is not the sort of girl who you can sleep with one night and put out of the room in the morning with a smart smack on the bottom. With her, it truly is until death do ye part.

~~

Some friends say: “Oh, well the Democratic Party may have indeed been run directly by the trades unionists for years via indirect mob control of the unions, but that was a very long time ago.”

~~

Balderdash!!

~~

The Mafia still controls American Unions, which does make them different from European Unions, which are controlled by the Communists.

The blatant, unabashed, influence of the Mafia, most particularly in NYC Democratic Party politics may be less front page and visible than it was when I was young, but, make no mistake, the girl hasn’t gone away.

And she won’t.

~~

Mafia money funds Unions which in turn fund and control American Democratic Party politics. And there’s plenty of money to go around.

~~

The trick to understanding mob influence is to recognize that the mob does not want anything from politicians…except to be left alone to do their work in peace.

~~

The mob has no position on, or interest in, health care insurance, Syria, Islamic state, Persia, Russia or anything else that newsgirls chatter on about.

~~

Mobsters just want to make their money, which they then funnel to the unions, which in turn give the money, very openly, to the Democratic Party.

~~

Money derived of drugs running alone is surely more than enough to have polluted all levels of American politics, government, police and court systems.

Every picture tells a story, don’t it?

Mr. Roderick David, “Rod,“ Stewart, of North London, England, was a brilliant showman from, now long years ago, who sang for us this song:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GmyGa29zIqk

~~

I am unfamiliar with Mr. Stewart’s sensibilities as to guns regulation for the Americans. I can say that Rod very likely would be today considered, what is the peculiar term employed by the foggy-minded ones??—oh, yes, that’s it–politically incorrect, as, in his song here for us today he makes reference to a romance on ship with an Asian girl thusly: “I fell in love with a slit-eyed lady, by the light of an eastern moon.”

~~

Slit-eyed ladies…Roderick’s just so RACIST!! Far more damming, Rod goes on to sing that “Shanghai Lil didn’t use no pill—she claimed that it just ain’t natural.” Horrors!! Rod!!! Bad, Roderick—naughty boy!!! I am very sure that the school marms who today patrol all speech in America and the West would have some much-arched editing to do to Rod’s poem.

~~

Like all subjects in the public market, the subject of guns regulation for the Americans is remarkably simple, but for the Children’s Party and its desperate fixation with getting guns away from the Americans—by any means possible.

Children, infants, cannot appreciate grown-up concepts. So, let’s just say that if you don’t understand the idiocy of the notion that disarming the Americans will prevent guns mishap and mismanagement, you occupy that peculiar territory of Disneyworld dreamland in which mature ideas are strictly forbidden.

~~

Which means this: There is nothing to discuss with the Children. Off to bed, now!!

~~

What I can re-count here is the history—going back to the killing of Jack Kennedy in my personal knowledge—of the annoying tantrums of the Children that if guns were only banned, Jack’s and many subsequent fatalities would have been avoided.

~~

I was, perhaps inordinately, fond of Jack. I have written you about him extensively, most recently during what were called, most sarcastically, the very, very important elections of 2012, by the gentlemen of estate fourth, here for instance:

~~

https://johndanielbegg.com/2012/09/12/jack-kennedy-and-the-democratic-par…

~~

The Americans, in a singular sense, are addicted to vast troves of conspiracy theories–hopelessly so–and of every conceivable type imaginable. The most enduring of this genre—in truth, more of an industry in my life the past 50 years, is, sorry school marms:

~~

“Who wacked Jack?”

~~

The theories amount to a massive commercial enterprise and virtually no one, except young Oswald, is spared the searing light of inquest.

~~

I was of tender years when Jack fell in Dallas, but I am of course a current person of interest because, quite frankly, everybody drawing breath in November, 1963, is as well. I say here to you on God’s Book “I simply didn’t do it.” But pay me no mind. The theorists of conspiracy will show no quarter in their search for the real murderer.

~~

So, I stand accused, notwithstanding that I hadn’t means or motive and, much more so, that I was roundly and publicly very fond of Jack, which did not sit well with members of my family at all—most of which were, and now yet remain, far more deservedly so, also persons of interest in the long running Dallas melodrama.

~~

So convoluted did the conspiracy theories respecting Jack’s death become that likely the only question about which all Americans of a certain age can agree is that there is a far shorter list of those who did not kill Jack than is the list of who did kill him.

~~

Likewise, that young Oswald is not guilty to be sure and the Justice Warren Commission, charged with finding out the real and complete story was, of course, deeply in on Jack’s November mishap–up to their eyeballs so–as well.

~~

Jack’s murder was, and is, quite evidently a nationwide, nay, worldwide, plot without foreseeable end.

~~

I do not recall the Children’s Party getting into high froth and lather and baying at the moon about the gun, or guns—you choose from the vast menu of offerings on that subject–used in Dallas, but maybe I was too small then to notice if the Children had yet sounded that particular alarm or no in 1963.

~~

I can say here, with full alacrity, that by the time, 5 years after, when Jack’s kid brother, Bobby, of whom I was far, far, less fond, got popped in Los Angeles, the guns control now!! to save as all from full wreak and ruin crusade!! was in gear fifth campaign mode. Here, again, I remain a person of interest and here again; I am innocent as new driven snow drift. Had guns not been permitted the populace, the Palestinian boy who bumped Bobby would not have had any chance to succeed, so the kiddies’ litany goes.

~~

Fast forward to the present and I am likewise sanguine that the Children are so feverish about outlawing guns for the Americans that they simply have to covertly, it is whispered perhaps–in quarters of dark, nether reaches, in Disneyworld dreamland–overtly, enjoy mass murders of young kids so that they can get their rag-tag band back into the streets to play that old, tired, song loud, long and repeatedly. The Children did not even bother to wait until the tiny bodies were buried before trying to make political hay as the sun set on the murders.

~~

This, craven, political use of such tragedy is fully beyond reprehensible. Shame on ya, Children!! Back to bed with ya!!

~~

For the slow learners, the Children today inform us, ceaselessly, that people are mere passive bystanders—it is a thing, not a man, who shoots the babies—it is the evil guns. The murderer and the babies just happened to be there, that’s all. What do military men call such passive participants??

~~

Oh, yes—collateral damage.

~~

And the band plays on.

And the pictures tell the stories, don’t they?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“Government is an evil; it is only the thoughtlessness and vices of men that make government a necessary evil. When all men are good and wise, government will, of itself, decay.” 

~~

Well said indeed, today, by our young:

~~

Mr. Shelley.

It is the triumphant ubiquity of advertising that best gives the lie to The American notion of self-governing choice.

The Americans can’t trust themselves to choose what to eat for breakfast, let alone whom should govern them.

The Americans neither desire to govern themselves nor evince the faintest notion of how to govern themselves.

Were the Americans of any state of mind to give, even passing thought to the idea of self-governance, as they watch the horses now parade onto the track for 2016, the Americans ought to think about this:

“Did I, or anyone else I know, select these horses to be in this race?

“What, besides being members of the resume wavers class, qualifies any of these candidates for the White House?”

The Honest answer:

“Of course, I’ve never given any of this a first, let alone a second thought, as I rely on somebody else to tell me what to eat for breakfast.”

All this apropos of the American notion of democratic republicanism:  That we govern ourselves, through our representatives.

In fact, we are told, by advertising men, which of the resume wavers to select:

In precisely the same manner as we are told what to eat for breakfast:

Demonstrating, QED, that the ubiquity of American advertising is that which governs the Americans, in all elements of their lives, most particularly so, in their exercise of what they like to call self-governance.

And, now, here’s the news of who you picked today, Mum…good, well done, brilliant, wise selection!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

CIA was founded to, very quietly, kill people, we don’t like.

~~

CIA has become instead a library whose librarians collect all manner of data that is rarely used for any purpose…least of all, killing people we don’t like.

For instance, if you awoke feeling old and gray this morning, well, that’s because:

You are!!

FIELD LISTING :: MEDIAN AGE This entry is the age that divides a population into two numerically equal groups; that is, half the people are younger than this age and half are older. It is a single index that summarizes the age distribution of a population. Currently, the median age ranges from a low of about 15 in Uganda and Gaza Strip to 40 or more in several European countries and Japan. See the entry for “Age structure” for the importance of a young versus an older age structure and, by implication, a low versus a higher median age.

  Saint Jane Frances de Chantal Catholic parochial school, called, by anyone of any background, simply: “Chan~al,” a place where, of an autumn day in 1957, school,  for me,  began and ended in the first convening of the first grade in which a tiny nun, one Sister Dom Bosco, appeared before me, just behind the window appearing at far left of this photograph, and piped out this: “I may be small, but so then, is the Atom Bomb.”

  ~~

  My determination to escape school commenced immediately on hearing about this Atom Bomb business and took 16 dicey and arduous years to finally accomplish.~~

  "Jean-Marie Le Pen is a friend. He is dangerous for the political set because he's the only one who's sincere. He says out loud what many people think deep down, and what the politicians refrain from saying because they are either too demagogic or too chicken. Le Pen, with all his faults and qualities, is probably the only one who thinks about the interests of France before his own."~~
