As Baltimore burns, more Mexicans, shooting and killing, in the desert, not too far from my neighborhood


As is always the case, lack of firm policing and appeasement and the creation of "a safe space for those that want to destroy," just leads to wider and more virulent violence. At this moment the "new" attorney general of the United States is at her first press conference blathering on about "Developing a conversation with the Baltimore police department..." Like the Wall Street Journal bromides her predictable blah-blah bromides will also fall on ears deafened by decades of rap and crack with literally nothing left to lose. AmDig

I refuse to give up our national sovereignty to transnational criminals, nor am I willing to give up my recreational activities in the Sonoran Desert National Monument. United States political leaders have no business ceding control of U.S. territory for political or financial gain. The time to enforce politician's oaths of office, with criminal prosecutions and imprisonment are long overdue. Why aren't traitors charged with treason, anymore? The answer is simple. Every nook and cranny of our government has been bought off. Corruption is the epidemic. "Regime change" is the cure.


I just returned from another recon operation, inside the Barry M. Goldwater Air Force Range. We have Mexicans killing Mexicans over drugs, just a few short miles from my home. Meanwhile, corrupt politicians want to import more poverty and crime, from south of the border.

MCSO: 2 dead, 2 injured in shooting east of Gila Bend

The Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office said six people were attacked Monday afternoon. Two people have been confirmed dead and two others were transported to the hospital, one in stable condition and the other in critical condition. Authorities said the people injured are not cooperating with authorities. ABC15

A search continued Tuesday for several suspects who shot and killed two men and wounded two others in a gun battle six miles east of Gila Bend. The shootings occurred a high-traffic corridor known for human and drug smuggling. The bodies of the two men were found by Maricopa County sheriff's investigators in a cave about six miles east of Gila Bend Monday afternoon. 3TV 

More ditch cricket shenanigans... Tuesday, April 28, 2015: PCSO said a deputy attempted to conduct a traffic stop on State Route 347 at milepost 177. The subject refused to stop and a pursuit started in the area. The vehicle eventually came to a stop and the subjects ran from the vehicle. ABC15 More


The driver and seven passengers ran from the vehicle. The detective was able to apprehend the driver as he attempted to hide in some bushes. The driver was later identified as Sergio Salas-Orozco (age 27 of Casa Grande). With the assistance of other deputies and members of the U.S. Border Patrol, four of the passengers were taken into custody and three additional passengers were not located.

Sheriff Paul Babeu stated, “Sergio Salas-Orozco is no stranger to our office. On July 23rd, 2012 he fled from deputies and was involved in a high-speed vehicle pursuit. He stopped his vehicle and once again fled on foot along with his four passenger who were all illegals. All five suspects were caught and arrested. Inside of the vehicle deputies discovered he has 22 bundles of marijuana which weighed a total of 518 pounds. Sergio plead guilty to this past crime and served one year in the Arizona Department of Corrections.” PCSO


The West was founded upon two ideas, individual Liberty and property rights. The "intellectual gang" of Cultural Marxists hates the very idea of Liberty, because it takes away their feelings of superiority. The political thug gang hates property rights, because it means they cannot steal whatever they want. Most of all, they hate the ordinary people who believe in both, Liberty and property rights.

Baltimore Riots Explode Leftist Race Myths

Modern race riots do not occur because of the supposed white superstructure or a legacy of governmental underservice. They occur because valueless rioters act in valueless ways. Baltimore is evidence that glossing over lack of values with leftist pabulum about social justice doesn’t stop cities from burning. Breitbart Meanwhile, angry mother smacks down son for rioting

We Used to Shoot Looters

The armed citizen has been nowhere to be seen in Baltimore, perhaps because Maryland has some of the most restrictive gun laws in the country and it is virtually impossible to get a license to carry a weapon. However, it is still legal for owners to defend their property. Why is no one in Baltimore brandishing guns in the face of looters? There was another famous “shoot to kill” order in 1977, after flooding in Johnstown, Pennsylvania. When Mayor Herb Pfuhl heard reports of looting he told police to kill looters, and as soon as the word got out, the looting stopped. AmRen 


There is a deliberate policy of destroying the few 'white' countries left in this world. In 1970, the United States was 90% white. Now, the white population is down to less than 60% and within 10 years, will drop below 50%. The same thing is happening to Europe. Changing the people and bringing in millions of Third World legal and illegal "immigrants," (colonizers) with their hands out for free money and benefits is not going to end well. Remember, "diversity" and "multiculturalism" ONLY apply to white countries. Why is that?

"In actual operation Nature is cruel and merciless to men, as to all other beings. Let a tribe of human animals live a rational life, Nature will smile upon them and their posterity; but let them attempt to organize an unnatural mode of existence an equality Elysium, and they will be punished even to the point of extermination." --Ragnar Redbeard (disputed)

Detroit “urban safari” and the April 18, 2015, National Socialist Movement rally in Toledo, Ohio... and more


On April 15,2015, I returned to the old and crumbling hometown of Johnstown, Pennsylvania, for a visit. April is rain and construction season. I did manage to see the sun, for a little while. My last visit was in 2011 and not much has changed, since then. I rode the Inclined Plane, which closed two days later, for safety reasons. I also cautiously explored some of the back streets in some of the more blighted neighborhoods, including Hornerstown. All in all, I had a great visit. Video

And on the day I left... Police said his body was found in the back of a car parked in an alley off of Wood Street in Hornerstown. “He was pronounced dead at 12:58 a.m.,” said Chief Deputy Coroner Jeff Lees. “An autopsy was performed this afternoon which confirmed he passed away due to a gunshot to the head.” It’s the first homicide in the city this year and the third for Cambria County. WJAC


Prior to the National Socialist Movement rally in Toledo, Ohio, we set off for an “urban safari” to the Dearborn and Detroit areas. It was a most interesting and educational experience. We discovered blue tarps covering homes, just like in the impoverished nation of Haiti. Another fine liberal, black ruled utopia, indeed. Video

I greeted the crowd with "Good afternoon Toledo!" and received vulgar obscenities, in return... The neo-Nazis, who carried signs and banners, started their rally with the greeting “Good afternoon Toledo.” One speaker referenced coming to Toledo back in 2005, and he said they returned because they felt the city’s crime rate hasn’t improved. Toledo Blade Photos

The rally started on schedule at 3:30 p.m., with the speakers’ words often drowned out by counter-demonstrators, booing and shouting “Black power!” “Black lives matter!” “Go home!” and other chants and slogans. There were no major incidents. One person was escorted out for throwing something (which turned out to be a cell phone, which is in my possession) at the NSM members; another person was arrested after the rally for failure to disperse. 


NSM members ended the rally at 4:39 p.m. and police and deputies on horseback immediately moved the crowd out of the area, with one officer shouting into a megaphone for people to disperse. This led to a minor clash nearby with law enforcement as people were forced off the site of the rally, but resolved quickly. TFP

Once again, somebody, consumed with hatred and bigotry, complained about the heavy police presence at the National Socialist Movement Rally in Toledo, Ohio. The NSM never asks for, nor desires, police protection. City governments and the police departments insist that police provide security, solely because violent counter demonstrators are known to throw rocks, incite riots, assault bystanders, destroy property and set fires. 

Neo-Nazis don’t deserve protection

Why are we providing police protection and disrupting our town for neo-Nazis (“City seeks gun ban, restrictions for rally; Order would cover neo-Nazis, others,” April 16)? Take Back the Night marchers for the evening of the rally were refused a police presence because of the rally. Rhea Goldstein


The rally, slated for 3:30 pm April 18, also will close a significant portion of downtown to vehicle and pedestrian traffic and will be secured by multiple law enforcement agencies. Streets, including parts of Adams, Superior, North Michigan, North Erie, and Beech, will begin to close to vehicles and pedestrians at 11 a.m. April 18. City Spokesman Stacy Weber said the event would cost Toledo taxpayers $100,000 for city police overtime.

Battlefield America: The War On The American People

There is no end to the government’s unmitigated gall in riding roughshod over the rights of the citizenry, whether in matters of excessive police powers, militarized police, domestic training drills, SWAT team raids, surveillance, property rights, over criminalization, roadside strip searches, profit-driven fines and prison sentences, etc. A representative government means nothing when the average citizen has little to no access to their elected officials, while corporate lobbyists enjoy a revolving door relationship with everyone from the President on down. Zero Hedge


Steve Straub over at the Federalist Papers just posted a brilliant set of distinctions that concisely explain the difference between Republicans and Democrats. If you’ve ever tried to understand or better yet, if you’ve ever tried to explain the difference, but just couldn’t find the words – Steve’s recent post is for you. Onan Coca

We were warned about entangling alliances: "It is our true policy to steer clear of permanent alliance with any portion of the foreign world": it was George Washington's Farewell Address to us. The inaugural pledge of Thomas Jefferson was no less clear: "Peace, commerce, and honest friendship with all nations-entangling alliances with none." More

In our supposedly "free society," we have to have laws put in place to protect our rights, due to hypocrites being intolerant of opposing viewpoints.

On this day, 35 years ago... Johnstown, PA is devastated by another flood, and I was there.


On this day, 35 years ago, one of the deadliest flash floods in U.S. history occurred. During the night of July 20, 1977, approximately one foot of rain fell overnight causing massive flooding and multiple dam failures. In all, eighty-five people were killed in and around Johnstown. No other flash flood since then, has killed more people (in this country).

I lived about 10 miles north of downtown Johnstown on high ground in Vinco. By the way, nothing ever happens in Vinco and probably never will. It's that kind of place and residents like it that way. Earlier that day, I ate birthday cake, opened my presents, goofed off, had supper and watched TV. Hey, I was 14. There was no internet or video games.


Rain and thunderstorms are common in western Pennsylvania, so most people think nothing of it and go about their business. During the night, the ground became saturated and water began entering the basement through the floor drains. I spent the rest of the night helping out with pushing the water out the garage with a broom. All the while, the thunder, lightning and sheets of rain continued to assault the region. This was by far the most intense storm I've ever witnessed.

Johnstown Flood of 19-20 July 1977

The flood was a classic example of "training" -- a series or "train" of thunderstorms that follow the same path, each dumping heavy precipitation over the same location. On this occasion, the first line of thunderstorms put down an outflow boundary. This boundary became stationary along the western edge of the storms' path, across western Pennsylvania from the northwest corner of the state across Johnstown. A pool of cooler air was left behind east of the boundary. Full Story


Shortly after daylight, the rain stopped and it turned into another nice summer day. Of course, things were not so ordinary. It became quite clear that disaster struck and things would not be normal for many months to come. Martial law was declared, nation guard troops were deployed and orders were issued to shoot and kill looters.

The National Weather Service estimated that the rainfall was a one-in-five thousand to one-in-ten thousand year event. Of course, if you ever lived in the "Flood City", you know that catastrophic floods occur more frequently. Floods also wrecked Johnstown in 1889 and 1936. Hence, the dubious nickname. Video: 1936

WTAJ TV John Altoona reporter Jon McClintock reports  CBS News Report 

Later that morning, we made our way towards Johnstown. All of the bridges were closed pending safety inspections. Parking in East Conemaugh, we walked over the Conemaugh Franklin bridge and made our way to Woodvale. The water was back inside the river banks, but was still running high.
 

As we walked along Maple Ave., we saw wreckage and destruction everywhere. Cars and trucks were tossed about like toys. There was still water in the street, but the most noticeable thing was the mud. It was everywhere. As we walked by the Woodvale school we could smell the stench coming from the rotting food at the ACME warehouse down the street.

Once In Ten Thousand Years

The dams that surround Johnstown, stretching throughout the Conemaugh Valley, were unsuspecting accomplices in the Great Flood of 1977. They were duped by the instigator - the rain.When they failed, six dams poured more than 128 million gallons of water into the Conemaugh Valley Twenty million gallons were unleashed on Johnstown when the South Fork Dam burst in 1889. Full Story

1977 Flood devastated local economy

“The unemployment rate here was in 6 percent to 7 percent levels for the most part during that decade,” Findley said. “For this area, we were really moving along right before the flood. There weren’t any major issues for the economy at that time in terms of setbacks. Pre-flood, in that era, was probably one of the better times of the ’70s.” Full Story

The article goes on to state... "That perfect storm of detrimental economic events led to Johnstown posting the highest unemployment rate in the nation – more than 25 percent – in 1983. " I remember this all too well as I graduated from college in the summer of 1984.


People used to line up for blocks to apply for a job at Burger King. The economy was so bad that one of my classmates was working a part time job as an arsonist. Oddly, he had plenty of work before getting caught. When the economy gets bad, buildings catch fire and cars turn up missing only to be found burnt to a crisp.

The Johnstown Flood Museum

On May 31, 1889, a neglected dam and a phenomenal storm led to a catastrophe in which 2,209 people died. It's a story of great tragedy, but also of triumphant recovery. Visit the Johnstown Flood Museum, which is operated by the Johnstown Area Heritage Association, to find out more about this shocking episode in American history.

As for me, college graduation meant finding work and that meant leaving the area. I found work in Tuscon, Arizona as a natural gas pipeline leak inspector. The population of the Johnstown area drastically decreased as there were no opportunities. Our country's habit of off shoring industry and consumer's desire to purchase foreign goods made matters even worse. Doesn't that sound familiar?
 
Today, lessons I learned from my Johnstown Flood experience are the reason I keep extra water, food, first aid and a bug out bag on hand, just in case disaster strikes. No one can ever be fully prepared, but some preparation is certainly better than none at all, as New Orleans learned during Hurricane Katrina.
 
“I'm a 9th generation American and patriot (1737). My forefathers served in the Pennsylvania Militia. On June 27, 1781, they were called to perform a tour of duty. I'm still protecting freedom and securing the border, 275 years later.” --Harry L Hughes III

July 20, 1977. . .The Johnstown Flood












On the night of July 19, 1977, it rained. A violent thunderstorm remained stationary and deposited nearly a foot of rain. I took these pictures from the Conemaugh/Franklin Bridge and in Woodvale at Bethlehem Steel's Bar, Rod & Wire Division employee parking lot as soon as the water receded. I used a cheap 126 film camera manufactured during the late 1960’s. Thanks to modern technology, I’ve been able to preserve this moment in history.

Johnstown, PA has a history of being wiped out by floodwaters. In fact, the city is nicknamed, “The Flood City”.

A phenomenal amount of rainfall - 11.82 inches In 10 hours was too much for both the dams and the sewers in the Conemaugh Valley The rainfall and the dam failures created the Great Flood of 1977.

The National Weather Service said a once-in-a-1,000 year flood in the valley could have resulted from 7.32 inches of rainfall in a 10 hour period. But an 11.82 Inch rainfall would be a once-in -a- 5,000 to 10,000 year occurrence.

This is a report from WTAJ-TV, Altoona reporter Jon McClintock - the first outsider to reach Johnstown, PA in the 1977 flood that killed 78 people

Unlike the Hurricane Katrina disaster, there were no crime waves, violence or serious looting incidents. People worked together and made the most out of a bad situation. Unlike New Orleans, a “shoot to kill” order was issued for looters. This and a large heavily armed population of White People prevented trouble in most instances. The 1977 Johnstown Flood was the first in a series of events which eventually lead to my relocation to Arizona. Economic decline, unemployment, mill closings along with the importation of foreign steel products all lead to my migration.
