Money As A Weapon and More

At the very start, this isn’t original thinking on my part. Not seeing much on current forums, maybe it is time to bring it up again.

Due to oil revenue, many Islamic countries are awash in money. In particular, Saudi Arabia has funded, and continues to fund, terrorism. Think 9/11.

Our country has a large number of venal politicians. The Clintons, in particular, have become extremely wealthy from donations to their "charities".

Barack Obama when he first ran for office was able to raise huge sums from many, many “small” donations, small enough that individual donors didn’t need to be identified by law.

The Executive Branch is now filled at all levels with Muslims, up to and including the head of the CIA. The CIA? WTF?

Maybe the answer to why so many things are going wrong in our country is the result of a ruthless and ongoing attack against us by Saudi Arabia and others using petrodollars to undermine and weaken us. Probably others (George Soros comes to mind) have the same goal. Are they working together?

What to do? Facilitate a regime change in Saudi Arabia?

Elect a President that hasn’t been bought by oil money?

For damn sure, Shillary will sell every asset we have to further her and Bill’s wealth IMO. YMMV

Decided to add this. Came to me as an email.

Subj: Ponder this!!

 

Subject: If you don't have enough to worry about - ponder this

-- Here’s a very scary thought………….. 

 

I had to take my vehicle to the mechanic the other day for service.  The Service Manager, Pete, gave me a ride home and on the way he told me his theory about the upcoming election and the next four years of U.S. government.  At first I thought it a bit far fetched. But as I listened to him it began to make sense, scary sense…

 

“I believe that Hillary Clinton will win the election in November,” Pete began.   “Then, sometime between November and January, Hillary will be indicted.  The IRS is now investigating the Clinton Foundation and the whole e-mail thing isn’t over yet. ”“Once under indictment she won’t be able to assume the Office of the President in January.  Tim Kaine, who will not actually be the Vice President because neither he nor Hillary have been inaugurated, cannot assume the Presidency.” “The Speaker of the House can’t move up to it because there is already a sitting President and Vice President.  So President Obama, in an Executive Order citing “emergency situation,” gives himself another four years in office is the only way possible.”

 

Pete believes Obama has been planning this for a while now, knowing he has enough on Hillary to indict her. Had the Attorney General indicted her based on evidence from the FBI this plan wouldn’t have worked because the DNC would have quickly come up with another candidateIf you think about it, it’s not that outrageous.  Many people on the left, including the President, want Obama to stay another four years. The law prohibits him from being re-elected so the only ways he can do it is by declaring martial law and suspending the election (which would be a very negative thing for the country) or to declare himself still President because the elected candidate cannot assume her duties. The latter makes more sense and is actually more feasible.  And since it’s never been done before, it would set a precedent that would be difficult to challenge. Of course, if Trump wins the election none of this is going to happen.  But what if Pete is correct?  Four more years of Obama and a mostly useless Republican House and Senate would give Obama the time he needs to continue destroying changing the country to fit his stated goals.  I thanked Pete for the ride home – and for messing up my day.  Now I’ve got more things to worry about! 

Meeting Sonny Liston

In 1962 I was working in a Denver meat packing plant for a magnificent  salary of $55 per week. Part of the job was making deliveries. One day I was sent to an address just East of the Denver City Park off 17^th Avenue with a large order. The boss didn’t give me a name, only the address. This is an area with older manor type houses, definitely high rent. There was a courtyard in back with a detached carriage house. Knocking at the back door, a black lady answered and requested I take the order downstairs to the basement. No problem.

After one trip, I was at the back of the truck getting the second load when I heard a voice saying, “let me give you a hand”. Two huge black hands reached past me. I about shit my pants; thought a gorilla had escaped from the zoo. It was Sonny Liston, his house, and his wife that had answered the door. The man had 15” fists.

The woman I married had a summer job at the Denver Park/Zoo concession stand. She loved Sonny Liston. He would come strolling up with two good looking women on his arms and buy a pickle for himself and whatever the ladies wanted. Paid with a $5 or $10 bill and always told her to keep the change.

My late buddy, Dirty Al Imhoff started his military career in the Air Force and was on the boxing team. Al was about 6’3” and had the chance to spar with Sonny Liston at Lowry. As Al told the story, he was doing well until Sonny Liston did an overhand smack to the top of Al’s head. Took Al down. He said Sonny Liston was very concerned, “Did I hurt you? I didn’t mean to”.

Whatever faults Sonny Liston may have had, he made a real effort to be a good citizen in Denver. Certain elements within the Denver Police Department were determined to run him out of Denver (Buster Snyder and Bob Wilkerson to name names). Sonny Liston moved to Las Vegas. During that time 40 out of a sworn force of 720 or so Denver cops were convicted of running a burglary ring and sent to prison.

While this may anger readers with LEO backgrounds, I will say the Ferguson effect is an embedded part of DPD going back to the start of the city. I personally know officers in nearby jurisdiction that will not work any joint task forces with DPD, especially the Narcotics details. Corruption in all areas of Denver government may not be at Chicago levels but it isn’t a squeaky clean city many believe it to be.

Off track here, but I will always remember meeting Sonny Liston and remember him as a gentleman.
