POWERFUL LEGISLATIVE TESTIMONY

*************************************
*************************************
For the best effect, please be sure and watch this unique video recording in "FULL SCREEN" mode.



The video was posted at the YOU TUBE web site on Monday 28 January 2013 (which, by the way, was MY sixty-seventh birthday!) by ARCRINATO.

The recording is of an apparently naturalized citizen, Henson Ong, boldly testifying before the Gun Violence Prevention Working Group Public Hearing at the Connecticut General Assembly in Hartford, Connecticut on Monday 28 January 2013.

I initially learned of this video at the FREE NORTH CAROLINA web site.

Oddly, the testimony of Henson Ong does not appear to be among the numerous recorded speakers that are linked on the official web site of the Gun Violence Prevention Working Group Public Hearing.

Since the video shows him testifying, I wonder why I don't see his name anywhere on that list?

MY THOUGHTS ON "RUN! HIDE! FIGHT!"

*************************************
*************************************

On the afternoon of Tuesday, 29 January 2013, the video, "RUN! HIDE! FIGHT!", was shown in the theatre here at the Armed Forces Retirement Home in Gulfport, Mississippi.

For the best effect, please be sure and watch this video recording in "FULL SCREEN" mode.



Please stop and think about this for a moment.

While you're busy running and/or hiding, how many other people will be murdered or maimed before the police finally arrive?

Remember, when seconds count, the police are only minutes away.

What if - - - , instead of just merely running and/or hiding, any and/or all personnel on the scene were armed, and the crime could have been stopped as soon as the first shot(s) were fired?

Don't we have a civic and moral obligation to do that?

According to our sacred scriptures, our Lord and Saviour, Jesus, the Christ, commands us to be armed.

"Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one" LUKE 22:36   

Although personal firearms are legal throughout the state of Mississippi, here at the Armed Forces Retirement Home in Gulfport, Mississippi, just like at the Armed Forces Retirement Home in Washington, D.C., no resident or employee, including Security personnel, is legally (?)  permitted to possess, carry, wear, or display firearms, either within their personal residence, and/or personal vehicle(s), and/or on their persons.

Here is an example of one the signs that currently are irresponsibly displayed at our entry points, inviting criminal attack:


Remember, this is a RESIDENTIAL facility.

Note that ALL of the residents are military veterans, who served honorably, and who have extensive training and experience.

The situation is even more absurd because many, if not the majority, of these residents possess a Mississippi Firearms Permit! 

Thus, the Armed Forces Retirement Home in Gulfport, Mississippi is a military target that is both soft and high profile.

Just imagine a live television broadcast from our mess hall at chow time, with someone's beloved great grandparent being tortured and begging for mercy.

Remember, the Islamic terrorists are suicidal fanatics, and they don't care if the police are en route and/or have the building(s) completely surrounded.

For the best effect, please be sure and watch in "FULL SCREEN" mode, this automated video series of an actual mass shooting survivor describing her own personal experience.



Frankly, it is immoral, irresponsible, illegal, and satanic for any career federal administrator or bureaucrat to arrogantly be misusing their position of power and/or authority to compel other people, for whose lives and safety they are responsible, to be helpless, unarmed prey for violent criminals, blatantly ignoring the unalienable rights that are guaranteed by our divinely inspired Constitution of the United States of America.

Indeed, in the aftermath of any violent crime, those same career federal administrators and/or bureaucrats could (and should) be individually and collectively subjected to criminal prosecution and/or civil liability, due to their complicity in enforcing an established official policy of criminal negligence.

THE SPECTACULAR FOG

********* WARNING ! ! ! *********

This dangerously illegal and immoral subversive underground resistance message is being surreptitiously monitored by the Beaming Internet Government Broadband Radio Oscillation Telecommunications Hearing Electronic Reconnaissance (i.e., B.I.G. B.R.O.T.H.E.R.) as part of a coordinated official clandestine domestic surveillance investigation, in cooperation with the National Administration of Zealous Interrogation (i.e., N.A.Z.I.) and the Commission On Message Monitoring Investigative Electronics (i.e., C.O.M.M.I.E.).

Serious felony criminal charges are pending, with extreme penalties yet to be determined! 

****************************

Greetings and Salutations to All my Kith and Kin and All the Ships in Outer Space:

I know that I've written about this before, so please forgive me for being so deeply moved, that I'm compelled to repeat the correspondence.

It's currently 2200 Hours, minus twenty-two minutes, on Tuesday 29 January 2013, and I just now woke up.

Lying in my bed, gazing through the wall-to-wall, floor-to-ceiling windows of my room here on the Seventh Floor of the Armed Forces Retirement Home in Gulfport, Mississippi, I am amazed to see - - - , 

FOG ! ! !

Not just any fog, but REALLY thick, dense, impenetrable, solid, reflective, eerie, spooky, end of the World, Charles Dickens, fish and chips, Jack the Ripper, Sherlock Holmes, good ol' classic LONDON fog!

(And, no, I ain't never been to London - - - ; well, I did see the red tile roofs of London apartment buildings once, in August of 1971, from the window of a Trans World Airlines commercial airliner en route from Tel Aviv, Israel to New York City, with refueling stops in Athens, Greece and Shannon, Ireland.)

Tonight, trenchcoats, with collars turned up, and fedoras, with brims turned down, along with good, stout canes, are required.


Only black and white photography is permitted.

I'm betting there'll be government secrets passed tonight between secret agents of opposing foreign powers.

Here in the darkness of my private quarters, illuminated only by my flickering fireplace and the flashing colored lights of my Christmas tree, the effect is quite SPECTACULAR!

(And no, I haven't unwrapped my Christmas gifts, yet - - - , I want the beauty of my Christmas to continue.)

Nifty, huh? 

Gulfport, Biloxi, Keesler Air Force Base, the highway, the railroad tracks, the Gulf of Mexico, the horizon, the edge of the World, and all evidence of life on Earth have simply vanished. 

For tonight, I don't have to worry about any S.W.A.T. teams of federal agents kicking down my door. 

Their black helicopters have disappeared, along with their black Chevrolet Suburban SUVs.

Thus, the Rebel forces of the Old Republic will survive for one more night.

Hark!

I just this second heard the sound of a ghost train that is passing by in the darkness! 

Wow! 

I really wish an artist could paint this scene.

I wish you (and everybody!) could be here to share it.

Ain't it neat?

Thank you.

Clansmen and Kith:

For the best effect, please be sure and watch this slide show consisting of fifteen (15) photographs, the first five (05) of which taken by Bill Fernie, of "THE EMIGRANTS" statue in "FULL SCREEN" mode.



"THE EMIGRANTS" statue commemorates those Scots who were driven from their lands during "The Clearances", and forced to emigrate to other countries.

Here is the accompanying news report:
_________________________

REPLICA OF HELMSDALE MEMORIAL "THE EMIGRANTS" HEADING FOR CANADA 

A replica of the thirty foot bronze statue commemorating the Highland Clearances is being cast and shipped to the Canadian city of Winnipeg.

"The Emigrants" memorial in the Sutherland town of Helmsdale was originally cast by Highland foundry, Black Isle Bronze in 2003.

Founder of Black Isle Bronze, thirty-seven year old Farquhar Laing, received the request for the replica of the three figure statue from the Saint Andrew's Society in Winnipeg several months ago.

Laing said:

"We're delighted with the commission - it's a big piece involving four tonnes of bronze.

We're especially pleased to be picking up work from across the Atlantic; there's also a possibility of another replica memorial being commissioned by an organisation in Nova Scotia."

Laing established the foundry in 1994 on the Black Isle before moving into purpose built premises on the outskirts of Nairn in 2002 with the help of a development grant from the Highlands and Islands Enterprise network. 

Black Isle Bronze now employs eight full time members of staff, including two metal workers, a mould maker, a welder and sand moulder; the most recent recruit joining the foundry from Poland.

Further commissions the foundry is currently working on include two statues for Newcastle United Football Club of Alan Shearer and Jackie Milburn; and a statue of Bob Dylan for a private client.

A recently completed commission saw the Highland company collaborate with sculptor, Sandy Stoddart, and British builder, Sir Robert McAlpine, on a Robert Adam designed building in Picadilly, London.

Black Isle Bronze supplied all sixty-six cast bronze elements of the eight storey structure.

Robert Adam said:

"We were delighted to be working with Black Isle Bronze to ensure the highest standards of craftsmanship.

The combination of a Paisley sculptor and an Inverness foundry brought the art and craft of Scotland to the most important thoroughfare of London."

Farquhar said:

"We wouldn't be where we are today if it wasn't for the help we've received from HIE; their support has enabled me to grow the business, develop my workforce and to access the global marketplace."

The replica of, "THE EMIGRANTS", to be called the "SCOTTISH HIGHLAND SETTLERS MONUMENT", will be unveiled in Winnipeg this Summer.

Hmmmm - - - , maybe we should have a statue like that here in the United States of America, huh?

I read something a while back about folks in Hollywood making an epic movie about the Clearances, but that was some time ago, and I've seen no more about it.

Do any of you know anything about that proposed movie?

Thank you.

IS COLLEGE A BAD INVESTMENT?

Are you, or is someone you know, hoping to get a college education?

How do you plan to finance it?

For the best effect, please be sure and watch this video recording of a news report from RUSSIA TODAY in "FULL SCREEN" mode.



This video recording was posted at the YOU TUBE web site on Sunday 12 June 2011 by RUSSIA TODAY.

"A solid college education used to be the key to getting a great job in America and was a core component of the American dream.

However, the times have changed.

With the recession, the number of highly educated unemployed individuals has skyrocketed.

An education has become more of a financial burden than a stepping stone into the workforce." 
________________________

However, regardless of any financial consideration, gaining knowledge brings growth, power, progression, and virtue, whereas mere ignorance is condemned as a sinful and slothful vice.

Within the sacred scriptures of The Church of JESUS CHRIST of Latter-day Saints, we are counseled that, "The glory of God is intelligence, or, in other words, light and truth", and also, "And if a person gains more knowledge and intelligence in this life through his diligence and obedience than another, he will have so much the advantage in the world to come".

Even if a formal university education is financially impractical in our contemporary market, we still have the use of good ol' fashioned individual initiative, creativity, books, libraries, the computer Internet, and/or gleaning nuggets of knowledge from peer counsel.

_____________________________________

Actually, the lady happens to be quite CORRECT in her statement, as any experienced firearms instructor and/or afficianado will readily confirm.

For proof, here is an excerpt from one of my favorite authors, MARK TWAIN, in his 1882 essay, "ADVICE TO YOUTH" - - - :

"Never handle firearms carelessly. The sorrow and suffering that have been caused through the innocent but heedless handling of firearms by the young! Only four days ago, right in the next farm house to the one where I am spending the summer, a grandmother, old and gray and sweet, one of the loveliest spirits in the land, was sitting at her work, when her young grandson crept in and got down an old, battered, rusty gun which had not been touched for many years and was supposed not to be loaded, and pointed it at her, laughing and threatening to shoot. In her fright she ran screaming and pleading toward the door on the other side of the room; but as she passed him he placed the gun almost against her very breast and pulled the trigger! He had supposed it was not loaded. And he was right -- it wasn’t. So there wasn’t any harm done. It is the only case of that kind I ever heard of. Therefore, just the same, don’t you meddle with old unloaded firearms; they are the most deadly and unerring hings that have ever been created by man. You don’t have to take any pains at all with them; you don’t have to have a rest, you don’t have to have any sights on the gun, you don’t have to take aim, even. No, you just pick out a relative and bang away, and you are sure to get him. A youth who can’t hit a cathedral at thirty yards with a Gatling gun in three quarters of an hour, can take up an old empty musket and bag his grandmother every time, at a hundred. Think what Waterloo would have been if one of the armies had been boys armed with old muskets supposed not to be loaded, and the other army had been composed of their female relations. The very thought of it makes one shudder."

911 CALL

*************************************

The 911 call: 



CUSHING, OKLAHOMA

A woman with a shotgun was on the phone to a 911 dispatcher this morning in Lincoln County when she shot and killed an intruder who crashed through her back patio door.

BILLY DEAN RILEY
Donna Jackson, 56, told the dispatcher a man she didn't know was at her sliding glass door to her back patio about 12:40 a.m. at 352112 E 800 Road south of the Cushing city limits, said Lincoln County Sheriff Chuck Mangion.

She was armed with a 16-gauge shotgun when the dispatcher heard the glass door smash and the shotgun blast, Mangion said.

A man identified as Billy Dean Riley, 53, was struck once in the chest and pronounced dead when emergency medical workers arrived, Mangion said.

Jackson was not harmed.

Jackson was home alone when her dog woke her up, Mangion said.

She turned all the lights in the house on and then armed herself with the shotgun.

Her husband was not home, Mangion said.

She went into her kitchen and saw a man trying to break in.

The man saw her and screamed threats at her, Mangion said.

She told him she was armed and on the phone with police, he said.

The man picked up a patio table and threw it through the patio door, Mangion said.

He stepped into the kitchen and that is when she fired the fatal blast, striking him in the center of the chest, he said.

Deputies arrived and found the man lying on the back porch.

Jackson did not know the man, Mangion said.
