The Magic Negro!

In response to an email from a relative about Black driven crime in Homestead, Pennsylvania.

Trading one master for another.

When I was in High School, 1957, at Hammond H.S. in Virginia our school was integrated during its first year. It took its name from a corpsman who had if my memory is correct died of wounds while treating his people in a combat situation.

One of the old southern teachers made a joke to me and several other boys out in the smoking area when the question of the two new students came up.

"I believe in integration.
Every household needs a slave."

At the time, being a military brat, having just returned from an integrated high school in London, having lived an integrated life all of my life, I thought the joke was lame, and really bad.

But, I was curious to see the dynamics of how this would effect my fellow whites, and the negro kids as well. It wasn't really earth shattering, no George Wallace at the school doors, not even a nasty crew of hecklers, it was just two new kids on the campus.

Sadly, American blacks in my opinion have as a community never embraced the real promise of their gains in civil rights and equality. I say sadly because real African black citizens who immigrate here, as my grandparents did from Hungary, understand the wondrous value of the gift the United States provides for all of its citizens. The right to go out and find a job, moving if necessary take Christie Lee and Wayne Marks’ example, and working their way into prosperity. Thus, immigrant blacks excel and prosper economically and socially while most indigenous blacks take another path.

Instead or individual enterprise and hard work, the majority of the American black community has embraced the second class citizenship which the Government offers. Welfare checks whether they come from State or Feds, Disability checks, Housing allowances, and a host of other doles which the Government tries to camouflage by calling the recipients, "Clients." and a bunch of other feel good politically correctness words. But in the end, they have bought into the crippling world of Government slavery.

They have to live where they are placed. They have to report to "the man" their equally crippled social worker and continually show him their economic chains so they can continue to receive their pitiful allotment. The Government has become their overseer.

And so my old coach's lame joke,
"Every household needs a slave." has become reality.
Every Government needs its slaves.

Thanks,

Bill

Intelligence an Uncommon Virtue along the Potomac River.

Any thinking person, in this accretion of humanity which makes up the Washington community, with a lick of common sense knows or should know not to take themselves too seriously. This includes myself, and I have always made it a point not to believe anything I say without checking it with my wife of the moment.

For the past thirty plus years that has been Miki. And she has a supreme talent for keeping me centered on reality while not letting much of what I say or write go unquestioned or accepted as serious. She is humbling to say the least, and most.

Today, I again venture into the weird world of Washington Think directed by the front page of the Washington Post, which I take most mornings with a cup of green tea. The tea at least is indubitable. There I find the biggest and most complete breakdown of the National Intelligence budget I have ever seen published. All of it thanks to that "traitorous" Edward Snowden.

How could he do it?

One thing which my non-Government friends and family can't avoid saying when we discuss the Snowden case is "how could a guy with a high school diploma" have so much access to so much sensitive data?

 It is as if, they think that there is another parallel reality in which the Government dwells. A place where a special  caliber of humans live in a rarefied society unique and whole to itself. Review the sixth word in this essay.

The Government is made up of people like you, your neighbor, the idiot who is tail-gating you, the people of your world. All governments in every country in the World are composed of these people, people like you. But they are unique also in a way most people would never even consider.

When most folks go to work for the Government, they start to assimilate the mantra of "Government Majesty." Being part of the machinery which "governs" causes them to believe that what they are doing bestows upon them a certain importance which the average citizen of Society can't possibly possess.

Partly because we as society tend to let them work unattended. Partly because the job we have put them in holds so much power over all of us.

 "I hire you at a small wage to get you out of my way so I can make serious money!"

In 1959, I was a new probationary hire at the Pentagon in the aerial photo collection, processing and interpretation for an Air Force organization called PRIS&D, Photo Interpretive Reconnaissance Services Division. Our job was to handle and pass on all the intelligence pictures and film which the Air Force produced around the World. Strangely, I was given the job because my Dad who was on General LeMay's staff had a problem at home. Me!

So, he did what dads did in those days. He got his kid a job at the factory. The kid in this case was a nineteen year old high school drop out who hadn't even gotten past the sophomore year at school. I was pretty much a looser already on the road to poverty and failure, looking for a place out of the wind.

Instantly. I was hired after a government check of my background. Given a top secret clearance, because the job required I handle such materials, I was a GS-2! I bought a new car, with my new found status and credit. And I started receiving my green computer card pay checks. The people at work called me Mr. Husztek.

At work I handled the Gary Powers U-2 papers. I handled the first letter sent by President Eisenhower into space on an Air Force rocket. I also handled films and photos taken by agents in Russia, and Eastern Bloc countries. These were the worst of photos taken under the worst of James Bond's missions, with the worst cameras ever made. It was all very interesting, and should have been the stuff which would turn me into a good Government worker.

A 19 year old friend of mine from Arlington, was hired at the same time I was under the same conditions. He stayed on and settled into the job after I had left the scene. I wasn't cut out to go to one place and work every day any more than I was for school. While in my first months of that year I won some productivity awards and letters of commendation. It sort of became apparent to management I wouldn't work out,when I organized, Pie Eating Contests in the lunch room and Model Car Races in the vast corridors outside of our lab. Being Mr. Husztek just wasn't taking.

He and I met by chance some twenty years later at a gun shop in Alexandria. He was working there weekends as their armorer and gunsmith. That was when I learned he had stayed on the job and ultimately became the head of the department. He was on the verge of a well earned retirement. I was still struggling to pay my bills with no idea of how I could ever retire.

Oh yeah did I mention that he was a member of George Lincoln Rockwell's American Nazi Party?

There is the picture for your consideration. Two dropouts in their late teens. One a member of a cult-like group who has his family's basement in Dominion Hills of Arlington decorated like a shrine to a neo Nazi War Machine complete with a portrait of Adolf Hitler. The other totally bored with the whole business of establishment life. These two nutty kids were handling the Nation's most sensitive intelligence secrets.

What's that got to do with you? Another friend's father said it all. He was a master electrician, a member of the Union, he too planned for his son to go into the trade. I really envied that. To be able to get into a job where you could have a Union to guarantee job and pay. Wow! So that old man and I are having an argument, and I mention to him I have a respectable job at the Pentagon.

His response,

"A lousy GS-2 job my boy will do a hell of a lot better!  I hire you at a small wage to get you out of our way so we can make serious money!"

Yep folks.

Government workers are the ones who can't find gainful employment at home in the real world.
We hire them out of every community in the Nation, many we move to Washington, where they settle like debris out of the river itself. They go from no one in particular to some one of Majestic Importance by donning the Government mantle. Some we elect out of our community and send there. Once in Washington, they become obsessed with their endowed importance, and as the singer of Hotel California says "they can never ever  leave."

Edward Snowden was the norm, not an anomaly. And that is what, today as I write, has our Nation's Security Community and those of all the Nations around the World in a paroxysm of total fear. The finger on the trigger was never more than mine, my friend's or Bradley Manning or Edward Snowden's.

It can never be any thing else..
After all, the guy in charge never actually had a job and is just a beginner too.

Drowning in Potomac River Ice August 28, 2063.

Martin Luther King Jr. March on Washington, 100 year anniversary.

"Thousands of celebrants drowned along the sides of the Reflecting Pool when in a freak weather event, unpredicted waves of ice cubes and chunks suddenly burst over the sea wall and flooded the Martin Luther King Jr. 100th year celebrations. Park Service Officials have no explanation for it, but feel strongly it has something to do with a small militant group of anti-Climate Change demonstrators who may have left their refrigerator ice makers on high and the doors open. - UPI."

 
I fall into the category of what is in 2013 labeled as Climate change deniers.
People who still reserve the right to use their own brain, and not accept a consensus of popular fiction as Scientific fact or wisdom.

Thus, I am not a subscriber to the
Global Warming - Climate Change - hypothetical Consensus of Scientific Opinion.

Which can only mean I am a
Flat Earth revisionist?


Some days you stumble on something which strains all possibilities of logic to a point hardly identifiable as having come from a reasoning person or group of people.

Yesterday was such a day when I read the Washington Post Editorial
 "Humans’ complicity in climate change can’t be ignored."

Before I get out of your way  and let you read it yourself, I need to tell you I was a U.S. Air Force weatherman from 1964 to 1969. I served on the President's weather team which as you might suppose was directly responsible to Air Force 1 for its weather information. During that time and later I learned a lot about weather, and what we could predict, and what we couldn't.

For instance, on Monday of this week, the local weather forecast for Washington yesterday was sunny with temperatures in the 90's, for the Martin Luther King Jr. celebration. As it turned out, the actual weather had a hard time breaking out of the 70's, due to the rain. As a weather man and a science teacher, I am constantly surprised at how short people's collective memory is. Not one person complained to any weather forecaster about the inaccurate forecast as they slogged about on the wet and soggy Mall.

I mention my experience and our inability to accurately predict the weather two days in advance of it because I am now going to quote a line or two from the editorial. Man, "has almost certainly been the chief driver of the warming of the planet over the past half-century, a finding to which they ascribe 95 percent confidence. That’s the level of likelihood researchers typically consider robust enough to justify drawing very strong conclusions."

Suppose for a moment you were buying an airplane ticket to the west coast from New York, and the ticket clerk said to you, "the engineers who designed the plane you will be flying in are 95% certain you will make it off the ground. That's a level of likelihood pilots consider robust enough to justify taking off."

As a scientist I was amused by the absurdity of this tidbit of scientific fact. Carbon monoxide, " has shot up by 40 percent since 1750, with concentrations of the gas now increasing at a faster rate than at any time in the last 22,000 years."

I couldn't help myself and I said out loud, "human deaths from natural causes have shot up by 500% since 1750, with their numbers now increasing at a faster rate than at any time in the last 22,000 years."

The editor-writer didn't fail to keep me entertained with this next bit of "science."
"The IPCC admits that it doesn’t have a sure answer to a vexing question: Why has warming slowed a bit in the past decade or so?"

As things happen in Washington now a days, it was this un-predicted 15 year drop in World wide temperatures which changed the Post's name for its favorite World disease, from Global Warming to Global Climate Change. Modern Science seems to demand that whenever your observations fail to support the hypothesis, change its name! It is the Consensus which is important.

Anyone recall that in Columbus' day the Scientific Consensus was that the Earth was indeed flat!?

Finally the Post implores the U.S. and World Governments to get to action on this "uncertain incredibly complex climate system." I guess because they are afraid that the Potomac will again start freezing up the way it did back in the 1950's and 60's. Then what will we be doing?

And they tell me I am an ignorant flat earth believer?


Read it for yourself, I have attached it below in its full text.
The Post’s View
Humans’ complicity in climate change can’t be ignored
By the Editorial Board, Published: August 26

NEXT MONTH, the international arbiter of the scientific consensus on global warming will release its latest evaluation of the state of the research. A few will dismiss the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s (IPCC) findings as overwrought alarmism. But a draft leaked to reporters last week indicates that, for most people, the report will serve as another stern warning about the risks of continuing to pump carbon dioxide into the air.

The scientists are set to claim that the increasing amount of greenhouse gases that humans have emitted into the atmosphere has almost certainly been the chief driver of the warming of the planet over the past half-century, a finding to which they ascribe 95 percent confidence. That’s the level of likelihood researchers typically consider robust enough to justify drawing very strong conclusions.

The amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, the IPCC notes, has shot up by 40 percent since 1750, with concentrations of the gas now increasing at a faster rate than at any time in the last 22,000 years. The past three decades were probably the hottest in 800 years. Within this century, the draft report reckons, the average world temperature will increase between 2 and 7 degrees Fahrenheit.

The draft is appropriately careful when discussing global warming’s effects. The sea is rising faster in recent years than before. Climate change probably has caused more extreme weather events, such as heat waves. But, as Reuters points out, the report doesn’t insist on a connection between warming and intense tropical cyclones, for example.

The IPCC admits that it doesn’t have a sure answer to a vexing question: Why has warming slowed a bit in the past decade or so? With medium confidence, the draft suggests that the explanation lies in a mix of natural variations and things such as the oceans absorbing more heat or more volcano debris reflecting sunlight back into space. It’s also possible, the scientists admit, that the planet’s sensitivity to greenhouse emissions is lower than middle-of-the-road projections.

Unless the IPCC’s report changes drastically between now and next month, the bottom-line message will be clear. Some uncertainties are inevitable when humans try to comprehend an incredibly complex climate system. Scientists might not be able to answer some questions for years, until they can look back at what changed after so much carbon dioxide entered the atmosphere so quickly.

Those inevitable uncertainties are all the more reason for governments, starting with the United States’, to head off the ample risks of continuing to release huge amounts of greenhouse gases into the air and to set about it with speed and ambition.
