was a mark for <i>Young Guns</i> in my teen years, and like to think, since I had a tele/vcr
and the tape in college, I helped sell the movie to Gen-Xers who never
spent much time thinking about it. My favorite scene is not on youtube,
but it features the gang at their moment of doubt in the upstairs of
the McSween house, surrounded by Murphy men and local military, and
Bowdre starts to lose it.<br /><br /><br /><b><a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0797150/" target="_blank">Charley Bowdre</a></b>:
Hey, Billy. I've got to get out of here. I've got a wife. She's this little Mexican gal. Please, Billy.
<br />
<b><a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000389/" target="_blank">William H. Bonney</a></b>:
Charley, if you don't stand up and start whooping some ass, you ain't ever gonna see her again.
<br /><br />Charley doesn't make it, but there is that moment of cinema
where Charley starts shooting and yelling crazy, and Billy laughs and
shoots wildly with him. (this is roughly historically plausible during
the escape from McSween house.) Keifer, Doc, realizing he is
in the house of the insane, cuddles with his China doll. Keifer got a
second life during our days with the relatively pro-national security
state show, 24. Keifer's dad also plays the stereotype Executive in the
<a href="http://paleosnus.blogspot.com/2012/09/the-passion-of-better-off-hunger-games.html" target="_blank">Hunger Games.</a><br /><br />It's not lost on me that Charles Brewer, the
straight of the gang, aka Charlie Sheen, dies in the film, early when
Buckshot Roberts nails him.<br /><br /><br />And that's how I feel about voting in this election.Local Alehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01944008990994732012noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3600833145190537090.post-89607603800663095302012-10-20T11:09:00.001-04:002012-10-20T18:55:16.562-04:00Sons, Fathers, and Folk Inquiry<!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>

She appeared in <i>Winter’s Bone</i>, which my Missourah friend put
in the class of a Harriet Beecher Stowe example of fiction—a decent piece of

There has been much talk in the MSM, and in the counter-culture, the depiction of the elite…and anyway, the late
<a href="http://www.counter-currents.com/2011/06/mel-gibsons-the-passion-of-the-christ/" target="_blank">Jonathan Bowden’s review of the Passion of the Christ </a>gives some interesting
suggestion: </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Several scenes are especially
striking: the ravens attacking the thieves who are exposed with Christ on the
Cross and Simon being made to carry the Cross on behalf of the Savior. But most
assuredly the depiction of the <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Devil or
Satan as a shaven-headed and androgynous Supermodel has to go down as one of
the most startling innovations in cinema history.</b></i></blockquote>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Needless to say, Bowden provides an insight so striking to
Gibson’s film, but also, one that saw life in the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Hunger Games</i>, books and film(s.)<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

Beyond Left and Right…albeit teen fiction, the <i>Hunger Games</i>
presents elite that look absurd and evil; push androgyny even into its ‘gladiator’ spectacle,
if comes up short with a predictable old, gray bearded man as Der Leader
(advantage, Gibson of course.)</div>

The movie's climax, with the last two standing about to go all Romeo and Juliet--<a href="http://paleosnus.blogspot.com/2012/09/better-off-pearl-jam.html" target="_blank">teen suicide, again</a>--on the television screen (with the gal, Eve perhaps, saying 'I know what I am doing') calling the bluff of the tee-vee director who declares the final players joint-victors. </div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
My wife read the book over three nights prior to watching
the film.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A brief summary would suggest
the book was more about what ‘she’ was thinking, leading me to conclude the
movie was forced to go ‘populist’ (the movie includes riot scenes from the ‘Districts’
that are not in the book) in order to maximize its relevance and dollar
take.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Anti-populists, Right and Left
will not care for this—hence the post-modern take.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A solid post-modern analysis might conclude that the subject
of the <i>Hunger Games</i> moved from the book to visual (the media is the message,
folks)—which is the emotionally involved “tee-vee” audience—will force the hand
of the coming sequels to play to the audience that hates the elite.</div>

<br />
Pat Buchanan’s <a data-mce-href="http://www.lewrockwell.com/buchanan/buchanan260.html" href="http://www.lewrockwell.com/buchanan/buchanan260.html" target="_blank">column on the fortunes of would-be Senator for Missouri, Todd Akin</a>,
seemed perfect. Akin, who does not believe in the so-called “rape”
exception to “abortion law”, was made to look foolish with his attempt
to explain, as I surmise, the rarity of rape related pregnancies that
are terminated.<br />
Right and Left, his science, or rather
pseudo-science, has been mocked, one supposes, in an attempt to deflect
from the actual Christian position on abortion.<br />
All well and fair in these tactical battles--it is an election year in a battleground state.<br />
Over at <a data-mce-href="http://apocalypsecometh.com/she-needs-regular-injections/" href="http://apocalypsecometh.com/she-needs-regular-injections/" target="_blank">Apocalypse Cometh</a>,
an article this week in the Daily Mail was highlighted, regarding the
positive nature of, ahem, ‘male fluid’ on the female psyche—typical Euro
sex obsessed one supposes, but there was this highlighted nugget in the
Daily Mail article:<br />
<blockquote>
Other recent findings from
Gallup’s laboratory suggest that semen-exposed women perform better on
concentration and cognitive tasks and that women’s bodies can detect
'foreign' semen that differs from their long-term or recurrent sexual
partner’s signature semen.<br />
They suggest the ability to detect
foreign sources is an evolved system that often leads to unsuccessful
pregnancies - via greater risk of preeclampsia - because it signals a
disinvested male partner who is not as likely to provide for the
offspring.<br />
<br />
<a data-mce-href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-2190863/Semen-good-womens-health-helps-fight-depression.html#ixzz24UIL0Zvt" href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-2190863/Semen-good-womens-health-helps-fight-depression.html#ixzz24UIL0Zvt" target="_blank">Daily Mail 8/21/2012</a></blockquote>
<br />
<br />
For
the sake of argument, if the study is 100% correct, Todd Akin actually
does have a scientific point to make, perhaps speculative, but
reasonable.<br />

<br />
Here at paleosnus, we work with the fine tuning of the conspiracy mind, and thus it's not quite a shock that soon after the strange hiring of <a href="http://paleosnus.blogspot.com/2012/07/and-waco-atrocity.html" target="_blank">Boykin at FRC</a>, there is a made-for-tee-vee publicity stunt at the place of his work.<br />
<br />
Those, on the Right of things as they are, who see this as an act of leftish political terrorism, instigated by the hate group, SPLC who had designated FRC a "hate group"--and who wouldn't drown the Hitler baby in the tub, right?--taking the form of media agitator, like Heavy Metal and suicide or something like that.<br />
<br />
People easily accept the oft used meme.<br />
<br />
To a degree, this is a fine point of view. Living in a technocratic, "scientific" socialist State with control of the mass media, the message insures a sort of "leaderless resistance" where one can, plausible denial, suggest that these lone rogues are self created and do not need the technical, multi-level handling to insure an end result.<br />
<br />
But anyway, it sure looks like a Boykin--a Knight of Malta sort--, publicity stunt. I mean, one month in?<br />

His wife, as discussed on this site, <a href="http://paleosnus.blogspot.com/2012/06/sleaze-rocks-part-i.html" target="_blank">was a leading "cultural conservative" as leader of the PMRC</a>. This particular block of conservative Democrats was indeed recruited by the Gore campaign,<a href="http://www.georgialogcabin.org/news/Fred-Phelps-Al-Gore-Westboro-Baptist-Church-God-Hates-Fags/200010251159.shtml" target="_blank"> with proof found in the fact that Fred Phelps worked with the Gore team in Kansas.</a><br />
<br />
There should be nothing particularly odd that Mark Clayton, newly minted Democratic Senator of Tennessee hopeful, is of the same conservative bent, if leagues more thoughtful of course in tactical presentation.<br />
<br />
Since <a href="http://conservativetimes.org/?p=11907" target="_blank">Alvin Green's victory in a South Carolina primary</a>, 2010, an inmate pulling <a href="http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2012/05/prison-inmate-wins-more-than-40-of-democratic-vote-over-president-obama-in-wv-primary/" target="_blank">40% in a West Virginia primary</a>, the tone, as discussed at <a href="http://www.thenewamerican.com/usnews/politics/item/12331-establishment-balks-as-tenn-democrats-nominate-pro-life-conservative-in-senate-race" target="_blank">The New American</a>, is that this was another fluke, but as noted, if one turned back the clock just a little, there is really nothing unusual.<br />

Sally Denton wrote <a href="http://www.amazon.com/The-Bluegrass-Conspiracy-Kentuckys-Preppie/dp/0380714418" target="_blank">The Bluegrass Conspiracy</a> decades ago, a story of a Kentucky Governor and his network, including State Police, running drugs. She applied the same methodology with Harvard Professor and liberal, Roger Morris, to finish work on another Borderstate Drug Running conspiracy (a story that began in college research classrooms), this time Arkansas, and involving a then sitting President.<br />
<br />
The story, as legend goes, was set to run in the Washington Post, but killed at the last moment--a neat trick, that offers plausible denial, rather than set-up. Why did Lefties take a commission from a CIA paper to begin with? Better to suggest shadowy figures killed the story when they learned of it.<br />

<blockquote class="tr_bq">
In 1961, when the Soviets judged that the time had come to revive and
carry to completion the old Czarist ambition to conquer India, the American
end of the Washington-Moscow Axis was charged with the duty of bleeding
the tax-paying animals in the United States to finance the construction
of a highway to permit the rapid occupation of Afghanistan by Soviet troops.
The engineers of the U.S. Army were accordingly sent to Afghanistan to
build through some of the most mountainous and difficult terrain in the
world a broad modern highway that extends for three hundred miles from
the Soviet border to Kabul, the capital of Afghanistan, which is not far
from the southeastern border of that county, and whence a road, built by
British engineers in 1880, runs through the Khyber Pass to Peshawar, which
was the provincial capital of what was called the North-West Frontier Province
when India was under British rule.<br />
<br />
This American work for the Communist Empire was carried out in effective
secrecy from 1961 to 1965, when the work was completed. It was done by
American engineers at the expense of the American boobs, who were not told
for what they were paying. Some information about the work naturally reached
Americans and was reported in some of the publications of the tiny minority
of 'Fascists' and 'Neo-Nazis,' who have not yet been cured of the vice
of thinking. Such publications are ignored by well-trained boobs, and the
disclosure was officially covered by the usual chatter about international
do-gooding and some nonsense about promoting trade and harmony among the
"democratic peoples of Asia."<br />
<br />
Soviet control of Afghanistan, as of the United States, began with massive
internal subversion carried out by trained agents and dim-wits who become
intoxicated with drivel about "democracy" and "welfare." The stupid Afghans
permitted overthrow of their monarchy in 1973, and Americans who heard
about it were naturally delighted by the spread of their own mortal disease.
The "democracy," of course, was merely preparation for a revolutionary
<i>coup</i>
<i>d'état,</i> complete with almost enough bloodshed to content
"Liberal intellectuals," and the assumption of power by the Revolutionary
Council of the People's Democratic Party, which immediately concluded a
treaty of "alliance" with the Soviet. No "Liberal intellectual" in this
country could possibly object to such delicious progress in "human relations."
Reactionaries in Afghanistan were less pleased, and the first contingent
of Soviet troops entered Afghanistan in December 1979.<br />
<br />
Since the lid was on in the daily press, the average American could
be excused for being unaware of his contribution to the Soviet occupation
of Afghanistan until March 1980, when Ron Paul, a Congressman from Texas,
publicly disclosed the facts and even exhibited photographs of sections
of the highway. For this and other indiscretions, he was soon thereafter
removed from Congress by the Jews.<b>[Ed note: It was the Bush Family/Eastern Establishment take over of the Texas Republican Party that did Ron Paul in during the early '80s. Oliver makes the same mistake with his JFK assassination analysis--he won't touch it, perhaps out of loyalty to old friend Buckley?]</b><br />
<br />
After 1980, however, the American population, if still capable of taking
an interest in their own affairs, should have known what Mr. Paul had made
public knowledge, including the use of the highway for the purpose for
which it was designed by the Washington-Moscow Axis.<br />
<br />
Soviet troops, moving over the highway, very quickly consolidated occupation
of Kabul (begun by air-borne detachments) and of all the strips of territory
adjacent to the principal highway and the five tributary roads that had
been improved and modernized by our Army engineers under the supervision
of the Soviets, who were coöperating in "aiding" the Afghans.<br />
<br />
In the United States, there was, of course, jabbering, most of it hypocritical,
about "aggression" and the "surprising" Soviet invasion, but the American
boobs never saw a connection between that invasion and the highway they
had built in preparation for it. In its issue for the week of 19 January
1987, the <i>Spotlight</i> quoted Congressman Paul and made clear the relation
between the highway and the invasion, but despite the comparatively large
circulation of that American periodical, the article made no impression
on the public. It is a truism that you can lead horses to water, and Americans
to facts, but can't make the former drink or the latter think.

Jack Donovan comments on the <a href="http://www.jack-donovan.com/axis/2012/07/zompocalypse-now/" target="_blank">Zombie meme</a>, but I just cannot
shake there is a larger twist. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
While Jack lamentably searches out the positives if from a
more consumerist perspective in this case, I find a reason to miss the old anti-heroes of my
youth. We had slashers who enforced the
old Purtian morality, well stated in <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Scream</i>
about what happens to “minorities” and fornicators, and its rival, the Zombie
picture, which had leaned leftist since Romero established the genre as a
commercial success. (Monster movies were
a different Cold War genre, but after the wonderful <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Jaws</i>, it would take an <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Alien </i>to
get post-modern.)</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
Jack, to his credit, demonstrates that the those who identify with the zombies seem rather lame. </div>

In 1981, Mel Gibson
became an American star on the back of the sequel to <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Mad Max</i>. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Road Warrior</i> was an American hit. No doubt, American audiences recognized the
Western in the film, but Mel’s character in the movie was something
evolved. It was man amongst the ruins,
only with Man, siding to defend civilization against the hordes of barbarians--this might be relevant.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Pro-wrestling observed as much and created a heel tag team,
the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Road Warriors</i> who rivaled, and
surpassed, the Confederate minded heels, the Freebirds. The <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GLbx_k76NeM" target="_blank">Road Warriors</a>, as a wrestling team, took
the look of the bad guys, the raw and real nature of the bad guys, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Road Warrior</i> outlined. The Road Warriors, against the rules of kayfab wrestling, gradually became fan favorites. (Where are they now note: Hawk died in ’03, but Animal lives, and his
son made the NFL in ‘09.)</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Mel Gibson became a movie star in the United
States, with all its troubles, and the bad
guys of Road Warrior became an archetype, beloved by those fans of a certain
folk-theater genre.</div>

<br />
None of this is by accident, there is some purpose--of all the places Roberts could have gone to, the trip to Malta should cause pause.. Precisely because the older Protestants are suspicious of Roman Catholics (and folks like <a href="http://paleosnus.blogspot.com/2012/06/sleaze-rock-part-ii-evangelicals-vs.html" target="_blank">Tolkien and Lewis</a>), at the same time the Catholic Church in the United States is trying to make money off the hospital industry without looking ridiculous (the brouhaha about paying for contraception), what is the purpose here with the symbolism? <br />
<br />
I'll leave it as crass politics to deny cooperation with non-elite Catholics and Prots (undoing Mel Gibson's work), to generate some hostility--but there is some inside baseball here, when one adds that President Bush was being <a href="http://www.nydailynews.com/news/world/bushes-visit-africa-promote-initiative-fight-cervical-breast-cancer-article-1.1109613" target="_blank">photographed in some African village on July 4, promoting</a> invasive investigations of women. <br />

<br />
In a way, the Ron Paul campaign, beginning in 2007 was Kauffman's zenith, speaking at<a href="http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-2709566974565153720" target="_blank"> Ron Paul's shadow convention </a>with the sort of fight that should command the political imagination, here in the States. I read his <a href="http://www.isi.org/%28X%281%29S%28un4vklfgurfr50zhib0jlx3n%29%29/books/bookdetail.aspx?id=34caabaa-26e1-4126-98e5-c773854fc023&AspxAutoDetectCookieSupport=1" target="_blank">Luther Martin, Drunk </a>(something) which was outstanding patriotic revisionism, but too obscure for mass thinking.<br />
<br />
Nevertheless, anyone interested in writing on political topics should continue to read Kauffman, and enjoy his bag o' tricks:<br />
<br />
(a selection from the current <a href="http://www.theamericanconservative.com/articles/rockys-drug-war/" target="_blank">AmConMag column</a>:)<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
...The prison-industrial complex depends upon the drug war for its
seemingly limitless supply of bodies. (I write, by the way, as one so
drug-averse that I don’t even like taking Tylenol for a hangover—I much
preferred Minor Threat to Johnny Thunders.) </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Although we have reached a stage where the jock potheads of my
boyhood have their avaricious little hands on the levers of power, the
bong throng—including three consecutive deracinated ex-coke-sniffers in
the White House—lack the guts even to take the gateway step of saying
that to imprison men and women for buying and selling marijuana is an
affront to personal liberty. (Not to worry: the empty cells can be
filled with Thought Criminals.)</blockquote>

I have received no answer, perhaps because the folks I ask believe he was the Right, that Strangelovian thing.<br />
<br />
Bomber LeMay, in a Rightish environment that was increasingly becoming skeptic of the Vietnam War and the nature of the Cold War, let alone, dabbling in WW II revisionism, makes no sense, save Wallace clearly had no interest in winning anything but a certain Southern segment in perpetuity.<br />
<br />
Bomber LeMay proudly and unrepentant, led the Dresden War Crime, which again, in our day and age, looks like an odd position for a populist Rightwinger at any point in the Post-War Era.<br />

<br />
Over the last several years, the <a href="http://www.wnd.com/2006/03/35488/" target="_blank">WND crowd</a> has both promoted progress in the OKC narrative (while shelving Waco) and has attempted to rehabilitate one General William Boykin. The rehab production <a href="http://www.wnd.com/2012/07/hero-general-obama-following-castros-plan/?cat_orig=us" target="_blank">continued today.</a><br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1002908/posts" target="_blank">Boykin was a member of Delta Force and at Waco</a>-- as the link shows, even the neocon Frontpage mag understands he knows some real dark secrets. <br />
<br />
If all one does on the web is Remember the Criminals, time has been well served, but not quite my point.<br />
<br />
It was <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edwin_Walker" target="_blank">Walker</a> in the late 50s and early 60s--whom Lee Harvey "tried to kill" or tried to kill, then it was LeMay...then it goes dark, save <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_Haig" target="_blank">Al Haig</a>. Then, in the height of the Patriot movement, Waco & OKC, General Partin (who alleged missiles were inside the Murrah building and testified for the defense led by Kirk Lyons--see post that mentions a <a href="http://paleosnus.blogspot.com/2012/06/conspiracy-business-alex-jones.html" target="_blank">certain trial v. The Spotlight</a>, in the Waco trials, got a tour, and then his counter, Boykin?) What 'cause <a href="http://www.counterpunch.org/1999/06/01/the-delta-force-was-there/" target="_blank">Counterpunch </a>noted that Delta Force was at Waco; Gore Vidal was explaining OKC from a different perspective, and the patriot movement was split over the Soldier of Fortune/Rules of Engagement narrative?, he had no choice but to go Right? Just show business, this General thing.<br />

<strong>What can we do?</strong><br />
at their best, there is gentleness in Humanity.<br />
some understanding and, at times, acts of courage.<br />
but all in all it is a mass, a glob that doesn’t have too much.<br />
it is like a large animal deep in sleep and almost nothing can awaken it.<br />
when activated it’s best at brutality, selfishness, unjust judgments, murder.<br />
what can we do with it, this Humanity?<br />
nothing.<br />
avoid the thing as much as possible.<br />
treat it as you would anything poisonous, vicious, and mindless.<br />
but be careful. it has enacted law to protect itself from you.<br />
it can kill you without cause.<br />
and to escape it you must be subtle.<br />
few escape.<br />
it’s up to you to figure a plan.<br />
I have met nobody who has escaped.<br />
I have met some of the great and famous but they have not escaped<br />
for they are only great and famous within Humanity.<br />
I have not escaped<br />
but I have not failed in trying again and again.<br />
before my death I hope to obtain my life.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
The Greens/consumerist liberals, often with the Unitarian
Church, have been quietly promoting
the “home burial” movement/alt. funeral for many years. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
To their credit, they have alerted the follower to what
should be serious concerns about the regulations regarding funerals—massive rent
seeking protections (licensing, regulation, death certificates) from the all
powerful funeral industry lobby. The
sheer cost has been driving the increase, and predicted increase, in the
cremation option—also heavily regulated.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Owing to the greater movement of our peoples, the cost of a
fixed plot that would never be visited—let alone in some sub-dev cemetery, not
like the ones found on the side of a road through-out the rural towns, but
these creepy things with winding roads.
And even if you do get a family plot, like my Grandfather and my
Grandmother and her brothers, in the front yard of their rural church, well, it
used to be rural. Now there is a strip
mall across the street and a sub-dev next door to the old church. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Being scattered to the wind seems to fit our time.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Like the home birth movement, Rightists need to be involved,
encouraging entrepreneurship on the grounds of undercutting the funeral racket,
and fighting for deregulation and property rights as they are accustomed to
doing. (Dr. Paul could really help
here.) There is a good chance there is already a local network in your area.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The reality is, 30-something, that nobody will know who you
were 100 years from now, and the cost of your own funeral will likely be out of
reach at the end of your days anyway—save some dehumanizing industrial option I
am sure they shall have for sale in those decades ahead. The SWPL sorts will obsess over it (being
shot out into space and so forth).</div>
