When she looks out the window, she is killed my a single shot through the glass fired by Fort Worth police officer Aaron Dean who never identifies himself as a police officer and has no reason to be firing his weapon into someone's home for what was supposed to be a simple "welfare call" (a neighbor was concerned that her house had open doors late at night). By Sunday morning, Fort Worth Police Chief Ed Kraus, is firing Dean but Dean resigns before he can be fired. By Monday October 14, Dean is arrested at his attorney's office and charged with murder. Two months later on December 20, 2019, Dean is indicted for murder by a grand jury and is now awaiting trial.<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: May 25, 2020, 46 year-old Minneapolis resident, George Floyd was detained on a city street for allegedly using a counterfeit $20 bill at a local deli. Police pulled him from his vehicle and placed him in handcuffs. As he fell to the street and suffered a medical emergency, Minneapolis Police Department officer Derek Chauvin pinned Floyd to the street with a knee to his neck and ignored his screams that he could not breathe and that he was dying. At one point, Floyd calls out for his mother. Bystanders who took video of the incident pleaded with the arresting officers to get Floyd off the ground and help him and they were ignored. Officer Chauvin continued to shove his knee into Floyd's neck and suffocate him. When an ambulance finally arrived, they dragged his lifeless body to a stretcher still handcuffed. He was pronounced dead at the hospital.<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<b> So what is the point of me bringing up these incidents which happened to three different people from three different walks of life? In all three cases, police officers involved were swiftly fired from their departments and murder charges were brought against them. We are seeing this happen much more frequently now than ever before. I grew up and went to school during the height of the Civil Rights Movement in the 1960's.

<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: Policing in The United States has always been fraught with unethical behavior. According to historical accounts in early America, police work was not a respectable profession as corruption was rampant among police. If you have ever seen the 2008 film "Changling" starring Angelina Jolie and John Malkovich which is the dramatization of an actual crime case which occurred in Los Angeles, CA in 1928, you know that police brutality and corruption have existed in major cities like Los Angeles since at least the 1920's. </b><br />

<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: But those who study history will know that it has all happened before, not in some remote Medieval Age but here in America. The 1918 Pandemic, which lasted roughly from 1918 to 1920, killed about 600,000 people in quick order in the United States and millions more across the globe. What was so frightening about this flu virus was that because of the nature of the disease, it struck not just the weak and elderly but more often, younger people with strong immune systems and sometimes death would come within hours of infection.</b><br />

<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: It is considered one of the greatest disasters in human history, even worse than The Black Plague which hit Europe in the 1300's. And like today, severe precautions were taken: schools were closed; movie theaters were shut down; church services were stopped; funeral services were limited to 15 minutes and public gatherings were banned. Parts of Arizona even outlawed handshaking.</b><br />

<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: So many people died so quickly in the city of Philadelphia that steam shovels had to dig graves and people were put into mass graves without coffins. And all kinds of questionable cures and treatments were offered from getting fresh air to eating raw onions to eating more porridge and sugary products to smoking tobacco. </b><br />

<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: The 1918-19-20 outbreak is sometimes historically referred to as "The Spanish Flu" because many people erroneously believed it originated in Spain. Because the virus ran concurrently with World War I some countries, including the United States, censored news that many soldiers were being infected and spreading this disease in order to keep up morale and not cause panic. Spain, which was neutral during WWI, began reporting their flu casualties uncensored in newspapers and gave The World the impression that the disease was rampant there before anywhere else. </b><br />

<b>BLIND DOG OZZY: Fake News!</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: Medical experts still debate whether this strain of flu was especially deadly or whether poor nutrition, bad sanitary practices, the strain of a World War and the lack of medical resources was the cause of so many deaths. Some historians also refer to it as the "forgotten epidemic" due to the fact that all the deaths associated with it were seen as an extension of WWI in some way and not a tragedy on its own. Whatever the case, the outbreak changed the course of history, affecting science, medicine (some countries started to lean toward universal health care) global politics and even religion as preachers in the pulpit had to explain why this Scourge Of God was hitting saints as well as sinners equally.</b><br />

<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: The subject of sexually abusive Catholic priests has reared its ugly head again, most recently last year in the State of Pennsylvania where a Grand Jury report showed that roughly 300 priests abused roughly 1000 victims over a period of decades in which a Catholic Church hierarchy covered up the abuse and reassigned abusive priests to different parishes and allowed them to continue their vile activities anew. This was the largest investigation of Catholic Church sexual abuse by a government agency in American history. For those who follow stories of this nature, this is basically a rerun of the Boston Archdiocese sex abuse scandal which occurred in the early 2000's.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>BLIND DOG OZZY: Same s**t, different city!</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: The Boston case differed significantly in the sense that it was investigated not by a Grand Jury but by the Boston Globe's <i>Spotlight </i> investigative reporting team which is the longest running investigating team of its kind in the United States. They put it all on the line and for their risk, they blew open a case which nearsighted journalists, lawyers, judges, PR people and Catholic apologists told them couldn't possibly be true. Not only was the case true but true on a scale which no one had imagined, involving scores of priests and countless victims who came forward on a hotline at the Boston Globe newspaper. The entire episode was dramatized in the film, "Spotlight" (2015) which won, among other accolades, an Academy Award for Best Picture.</b><br />

<b>BLIND DOG OZZY: The Devil is in the details!</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: But investigation into sexual abuse within The Church has deeper roots in The United States. Most significant is the Gilbert Gauthe case which occurred in the Roman Catholic Church Diocese of Lafayette, Louisiana. The story is basically the same as most in this regard. The notorious Father Gauthe started sexually assaulting young boys in his parish starting in the early 1970's. Reports of his activities were reported to his superior (Bishop Gerald Frey) but instead of being disciplined or removed from the priesthood he was transferred from city to city and even made chaplain of the local Boy Scouts. When more reports of abuse came from parents of young boys, Bishop Frey recommended that the boys go to confession and repent for the sins they had committed with Father Gauthe.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>BLIND DOG OZZY: Priests sometimes tell victims that they made (the priest) sin and that they should confess to God!</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: Many cases were settled out of court but a local attorney, J. Minos Simon, refused to take a settlement and pressed on with his client's lawsuits. The publicity forced the Lafayette district attorney to file a criminal case and Gauthe became the first Catholic priest in U.S. history to be indicted on multiple charges of child molestation.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>BLIND DOG OZZY: Karma is a bitch!!!</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: The Catholic Church was on the ropes and needed a crackerjack lawyer to make this situation go away. In steps Ray Mouton, a successful, young, Lafayette attorney who didn't mind the spotlight and wasn't afraid to go to court in high-profile cases. In his own words, he says he took the case out of "vanity and greed." (source: USA TODAY Oct. 15, 2013 "Church Abuse Case Haunts Lawyer Who Defended Priest.") Mouton says he knew The Catholic Church had unlimited funds to defend this case. Mouton was also a devout Catholic. He says that when he interviewed Gauthe, it was the creepiest experience of his life. He quickly decided that Gauthe was a genuine sex offender who needed to plead insanity so that victims would not have to testify in court. But The Church insisted he work out some kind of plea deal. Then he noticed that Gauthe seemed to become increasingly disinterested in his own case. </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>BLIND DOG OZZY: The plot thickens!</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: In a suspicious turn of events, Mouton found that Gauthe had the assistance and protection of Judge Henry Politz, who was a close family friend and chief justice of the U.S. 5th Circuit Court Of Appeals in New Orleans although not legally involved with the case. Gauthe in 1986, pleaded guilty to 11 counts of child molestation and was sentenced to 20 years in "prison." But his incarceration turned out to be more like a trip to Summer camp. He was given an air-conditioned art studio where he was able to paint at his leisure. He was allowed furloughs to visit his mother ...</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>BLIND DOG OZZY: How sweet! ...</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: ... And he was taken to lunch at a nearby country club by Judge Politz on a regular basis. Gauthe was released 11 years early on his 20-year sentence and 3 months later, he was arrested in Polk County, Texas for molesting a 3-year old boy. For that offense he was given 7 years probation. In 2008 he was arrested again in Galveston County, Texas for failing to register as a sex offender. He served two years in prison and was released in 2010. As of 2017 Mouton, the lawyer who risked all to defend Gauthe, spiraled into an alcoholic haze and lost his legal practice and his family in the process. He now lives in France as a writer of novels and other subjects which are far removed from the legal grind which ruined his life presumably, as a form of therapy. As far as my research turned up, Gauthe was last known to be living in La Marque, Texas (2017) retired from the priesthood and a free man. This is a common theme in Catholic Church sexual abuse cases. Victims have their lives destroyed and they turn to drug and alcohol abuse or worse, suicide and the cleric who committed the crimes retires to a life of comfort on The Church's payroll, drinking afternoon tea, fussing over pet cats and tending to peaceful gardens.<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<b>This was the first book of any significance to be published on this sensitive issue. But what exactly is sexual abuse by a Catholic priest? Is it a playful pat on the rump after a soccer match? Showing an R-rated film to a bunch of preteens on a retreat or a peek at a girlie mag in the rectory after mass? Prime time news and mainstream newspapers rarely go into detail. Lets look at a few examples:</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>BLIND DOG OZZY: Here we go!</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: Father Paul Shanley, ordained in 1960 at Saint John's Seminary in Boston is a prime example of a predator priest in the guise of a social hero. Showing an interest in working with adolescents the Boston Archdiocese in 1970, assigned him to a "ministry" on the streets of Boston where he was presumably, supposed to work with disaffected young people. Being young and good-looking and having long hippie-like hair and a casual appearance, it was easy for him to appeal to rebellious teens, runaways and (according to The Church) the sexually confused (gays and lesbians). <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">FATHER PAUL SHANLEY</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
As a result, Shanley spent his days getting high, cruising around the Harvard Square area of Boston, hitting the coffee shops and diners and luring teenage boys to his apartment to have full-on sexual intercourse with him, often claiming that he was a sex therapist or "specialist" who was helping kids to find their sexual identity.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>BLIND DOG OZZY: There are other names for people like that.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: In the late 70's, Shanley started giving speeches to like-minded men who approved of sexual relations between men and boys. Some of the men who attended these speeches eventually went on to form NAMBLA (North American Man/Boy Love Association) whose stated goal is to lower the age of sexual consent for boys to allow them to have sex with men. They are also known to arrange field trips to toy stores, amusement parks and other places frequented by boys.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>BLIND DOG OZZY: The Church didn't interfere.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: In 1979 when some of Shanley's activities made the news, The Church transferred him to Saint John The Evangelist Parish In Newton, Massachusetts where reports came in that he was again molesting boys. Despite this, he was allowed to become a part-time chaplain at Mc Lean Hospital in Boston where it appears he solicited sex from young patients, some of whom were mentally ill. After the Boston Archdiocese received more complaints about Shanley in the late 80's, Cardinal Bernard Law (who is a key figure in the Boston Archdiocese case and in the films "Spotlight" and "Our Fathers") transferred him to California where it was thought he would stay out of trouble.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>BLIND DOG OZZY: If you want someone to stay out of trouble, don't bring them to Cali!</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: In Palm Springs California, Shanley got together with another Boston priest named John J. White and somehow raised the funds to buy a motel which they called The Cabana Club which catered to an exclusively gay clientele. Men were encouraged to get naked by the pool and sex out in the open was permitted. According to victim accounts, Shanley also would frequently bring underage boys to this motel for the pleasure of his guests who were known to come all the way from foreign countries to seek boys for sex.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>BLIND DOG OZZY: Ooops!</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: Inherently, there may be nothing wrong with a motel that caters to gay clients and encourages free nudity and sex but it may pose problems for a priest who was recently accused of sex crimes toward minors who belongs to an institution that has officially condemned homosexuality as a sin for centuries. </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>BLIND DOG OZZY: Yeah, that doesn't bode well. </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: When the situation got too hot in Palm Springs, Cardinal Law had Shanley transferred yet again, this time to New York City where he became director of a place called Leo House which was a guest house run by The Catholic Church which sometimes had teenagers and young children as guests. Shanley finally lost his assignment there when one of his victims threatened legal action against him due to his sexual offenses. In 1996, Shanley retired from the priesthood with a pension and benefits from The Church. He and his male partner moved to San Diego, California where he joined the San Diego Police Department's senior patrol which among other things, provided crossing guards for schoolkids.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>BLIND DOG OZZY: And The Church didn't intervene.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: Father Shanley finally got busted in 2002 when The Boston Globe was running ongoing stories about the Archdiocese Of Boston sexual abuse scandal. After all his years of sexually assaulting minors, he was charged with the sexual abuse of a single minor and in 2005 he was convicted and sentenced to 12 to 15 years. The conviction was appealed due to the fact that the victim's memories of the assaults were "recovered" during therapy sessions, a practice that some opponents have criticized as "junk science"and has been challenged in court in previous cases.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>BLIND DOG OZZY: Some people have "recovered" memories of being abducted by aliens during therapy.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: Shanley's conviction was upheld by the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court in 2010 and served 12 years in prison before being released in 2017 with 10 years probation. This is just one (1!) example of a predator priest who was allowed to run amok by The Church for decades, having sexual intercourse (penetration) with countless minors and in the end, only ended up serving time for sexual contact with one minor. (source: "Lucifer's Lodge: Satanic Ritual Abuse In The Catholic Church" by William H. Kennedy 2004 ).</b><br />

<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>BLIND DOG OZZY: ???</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: Exactly what goes on in the hierarchy of the Catholic Church that allows this kind of abuse to go on for so many years? Critics of the Catholic Church, some of them staunch Catholics, have put forward the idea that The Church may somehow hold onto vestiges of Frankism, a movement put forward by Jacob Frank (1726-1791), who was a self-proclaimed messiah and advocate of some very "novel" ideas about sin and salvation. Jacob Frank and later his daughter Eva who carried on the movement after his death, taught that in order to truly know salvation one had to truly know sin. This philosophy was not unique. The Carpocratians (followers of Carpocrates) in the second century A.D., also believed that one must um, <i>seize the day, </i>before leaving this world in order to avoid repeated incarnation into this mortal coil. </b><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: Frank's philosophy was apparently very popular with Jews, Christians, nobility, intelligentsia and other free thinkers in the Europe of their time who wanted to ahem, <i>carpe diem </i>on a regular basis. Heretical teachings and sexual rituals which were traditionally part of both Eastern and Western occult teaching, boiled in the witch's brew that formed Frankism. Evidently, religious folks of a higher social strata believed that in matters of morality, the rules don't always apply.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>BLIND DOG OZZY: Honey, ain't it the truth!</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: Since many modern seminaries and convents have origins and historical ties which are centuries old, some have suggested that the current problem of sexual licentiousness within the clergy may have have deeper roots than just a few disturbed priests in the last few decades or centuries.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>BLIND DOG OZZY: Indeed.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: Before Jacob Frank in the 1700's, there were other groups who appeared on the scene such as the Brethren Of The Free Spirit which was identified by The Church as a heretical group from roughly, the 1200's to the 1400's. Like many heretical groups, they were anti-clerical, anti-Vatican and anti-Biblical God which basically boiled down to the fact that they believed there be no need for priests, nuns, confession, holy sacraments or any Church intercession between the believer and God. </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>BLIND DOG OZZY: In fact, there weren't no need for God at all!</b><br />
<b><br />"BLUE" JIMMY: Followers of The Bretheren Of The Free Spirit held to the much repeated gnostic doctrine that all souls are potentially divine and that the perfected soul could be "God." As blasphemous as this must have sounded to The Church, The Brethren were apparently able to spread their beliefs throughout Europe during the years of the Black Plague ( mid 1300's). The influence of The Church was weakened due to dead clergy and churches and cathedrals were abandoned, surrounded by streets full of corpses. This allowed religious groups with some very exotic beliefs to implant themselves in these churches and run hog wild.</b><br />

<b>Unfortunately for The Catholic Church, these beliefs proved to be very popular with poor, downtrodden people with nothing to lose. Apparently, with death and destruction all around them, they learned to turn their back on the Biblical God and were ripe for something or someone more promising to their everyday needs and not the "pie in the sky" promises of The Church.

<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: Let's fast forward into the Modern Era. Some folks say that perverse, heretical beliefs have survived to the present day in the Catholic Church. Many believe this is due to the the decisions made at The Second Vatican Council (Vatican II) which ran from roughly, 1962 to 1965. As a child, I remember the Catholic Mass being recited in Latin and I once asked my mom why I couldn't understand it. She told me it was "God's language" and that I should just sit still. </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>BLIND DOG OZZY: Sit down, shut up!</b><br />

My ears perked up because I thought we might have a genuine, Vatican insider, whistleblower who was willing to spill it all.

Father Martin died after suffering a fall in his New York apartment in 1999. Some of his followers allege that he was pushed by a "demonic force." Others say that he was "did" by The Catholic Church to silence his many writings which presented The Church in a way most unflattering.</b><br />

<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: Several years later enter Michael Calace, a filmmaker and devout Catholic who was attempting to make a Catholic, family-oriented film for his production company Silver Sword International. Their stated mission was to "merge media with morality" and at some point in production, he wanted to use a Catholic church in Toronto, Canada for some scenes in his movie. His request was denied by a spokesperson for the Archdiocese Of Toronto and being snubbed by such a high authority, he decided to conduct an "investigation" into the archdiocese itself. Besides being a filmmaker, actor and inventor, Calace claims to be an "expert" in embeds in art. An <i>embed, </i>which is a term taken from math and science, is supposedly an object secretly inserted into a work of art, advertisement, etc., which will affect the viewer on a subliminal level. It is not a recognized science and its practice by anyone claiming to be an expert is sketchy at best.</b><br />

<b><br /></b>
<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: Since then, Calace has gone on to find multitudes of embeds in Catholic Church art which he claims, date back centuries. This provoked him to produce the documentary "Rape Of The Soul" (2006) which to me, seems like the "Citizen Kane" of low-budget, self-produced, far-fetched, conspiracy documentaries. During his "expert investigation" of Catholic art, he uncovered countless embeds of male and female genitalia, ejaculations, alien bugs (his words) and Satanic symbols which indicate that Calace has not only a tendency towards the fantastic but also a classic Freudian dirty mind.</b><br />

<b>BLIND DOG OZZY: Pervert!</b><br />

What they say in these works seems paranoid and fanatical but if even a shred of it is true, it warrants a read and consideration. It's a bitch trying to sort through all of this and write a presentable article that doesn't get one branded as a fringe kook.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>BLIND DOG OZZY: Like we had any credibility to begin with!</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: My conclusion after years of research is that when you have a convergence of unlimited wealth, power, political influence. emotional and spiritual control, as is present in The Catholic Church, there is potential for abuse. Sexual abuse within The Church may seem on the surface, just a few disturbed and horny individuals looking for kicks. But this sort of abuse has been proven by those who have worked with victims to be insidious on many levels. This abuse can be used to comfort, frighten, extort, blackmail and manipulate. Some may say, why go after The Catholic Church? There are other churches/religious denominations, schools, day care centers, medical facilities, law enforcement agencies and the like which have been busted for widespread sexual abuse. But The Catholic Church has a certain pattern of sexual abuse which has become institutionalized to the point where they have their own treatment centers, PR people, legal teams, "fixers" and unique protocol in place for covering up and minimizing punishment for accused and convicted clergy.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>BLIND DOG OZZY: Omerta!</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: As an Investigative Journalist, one must avoid the temptation to delve into the realms of the fanciful which may bring you readers but may destroy your credibility in the end. I feel confident enough to say that centuries of unrepentant sexual abuse within The Catholic Church has moved this subject from conspiracy theory to actual conspiracy. This story is not over ...

<li style="text-align: left;"><b>The Posse Comitatus Act is gradually being eroded to the point where American citizens are not even aware that their Constitutional rights are being violated. The act, which was passed in 1878, states that federal military personnel are not to carry out police actions within the United States. The act was passed due to the fact that Union troops were basically f**king with a lot of people in the South in post-Civil War years. If U.S. military personnel stop you at a checkpoint, question you, search you or your vehicle, detain you, they are violating your Constitutional rights. They will sometimes try to get around the act by saying they are participating in a "joint effort" with local police.

<li style="text-align: left;"><b>The U.S. criminal justice system uses computer software such as COMPAS (Correctional Offender Management Profiling For Alternative Sanctions), to produce risk assessments for defendants in criminal cases. It's basically like a computer-generated credit score for people charged with crimes and determines whether they are likely to commit crimes in the future. Some states even allow judges to impose sentences based on these scores. Investigative Journalism organizations such as ProPublica have pointed out that these risk assessments could be racially biased. Readers of Philip K. Dick will note that this is the basis for the plot in his short story, "The Minority Report" which was made into the film "Minority Report" starring Tom Cruise, in 2002. In this science fiction thriller, people are arrested for crimes they may commit in the future. Have we come to this? ... Goddamn!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<li style="text-align: left;"><b>All your s**t could be gone! Unless you are a borderline-psychotic, paranoid, conspiracy theorist like me, you probably don't back up all your info on paper. But my research shows that various troubled governments around the world have effectively shut down The Internet, especially in times of turmoil, which has inevitably resulted in civil and human rights violations. This has mostly been done in Third World countries in Africa and South America but it is not impossible to do in developed, industrial countries by manipulating Internet access speeds, rendering the Internet unusable and by merely blocking access to public computers in libraries, schools and universities.

<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: As terrorist groups have become a dominant subject in domestic and world politics in at least the last few decades, it has come to light that White Supremacist groups are still active and among them.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>BLIND DOG OZZY: Shameful!</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: While most folks in this country seem to frown upon these groups and many have protested their activities in a spirited manner, few have gone through the trouble of actually researching the origins of White Supremacy and finding out exactly what these groups believe. </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>BLIND DOG OZZY: That's where we come in!</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: While most people assume White Supremacy in this country began with slavery and its attendant attitudes in Early America, it does have deeper origins. Scientific Racism, as a movement, has been around since at least the 1600's in the Western World. This movement attempted to find a scientific basis for racist beliefs and postulated that there were distinct superior races and inferior races. While this theory started to fall out of favor by the start of the 20th century and is considered somewhat of a pseudoscience today, it is still used by White Supremacist groups today to justify their beliefs. </b><br />

<b>BLIND DOG OZZY: Out of the loop!</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: Now we can move on to Early America. It is a well known fact that many founding fathers (e.g. George Washington, Thomas Jefferson) were Black slave owners. Despite the democratic fervor of the time, slavery was still acceptable due to historical and biblical references to slavery. And honest Abe Lincoln, the President who issued the Emancipation Proclamation, was not exactly Malcolm X or Martin Luther King. While he believed that slavery was morally wrong, he did not believe that Blacks and other Colored races were inherently equal with Whites. This has fueled the fire for many racist beliefs for generations. </b><br />

<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: One group that may have sparked White Supremacist racism in America, was the Knights Of The Golden Circle which was a secret society and a precursor to the Klu Klux Klan and whose original intent was to annex parts of Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean in an attempt to beef up the power of the slave-holding elite. </b><br />

<b>Out of the Knights Of The Golden Circle came the Klu Klux Klan which historical writings tell us, was formed primarily as a social club made up of ex-Confederate soldiers who wanted to vent their frustrations due to the outcome of the Civil War. This "socializing" soon turned to strange rituals, midnight rides in scary hooded costumes meant to intimidate superstitious rural Black folks and ultimately terrible burnings and lynchings which made original Klan Grand Wizard and former Confederate general Nathan Bedford Forrest, disband the KKK in disgust.</b><br />

<b>BLIND DOG OZZY: What kind of s**t did I get into?</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: Less known but still active at the time, were White Supremacist groups such as the White League and the Red Shirts. Unlike the Klan, these were not-so-secret societies who made their identities known in their communities and relished newspaper coverage of their dirty deeds directed at the Reconstruction Government, freed slaves and their sympathizers. The KKK laid dormant for many years until it was revived in the early 1900's. This time the Klan was focusing their enmity not just on Blacks but also on Jews and Catholic immigrants who were in great number at that time. This incarnation of the Klan is the one which employed cross burnings and large public gatherings in full costume, in an attempt to intimidate its perceived enemies. </b><br />

<b>BLIND DOG OZZY: Note to Klan: If you wanna scare someone, take your pajamas off first!</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: This second version of the Klan seemed to die out at the beginning of the Great Depression, possibly because the leisure activities of wealthy, White, racist folks were limited by the poor economy. The Klan again revived at the end of World War II and this time, fueled by the progress of the Civil Rights Movement, they had a pronounced Nazi, Aryan, Nordic bent. This is where we plunge into the bizarre and occult-obsessed world of the Nazis in the Third Reich.</b><br />

<b><br /></b>
<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: Contrary to popular belief, adherents of Nazism and members of the Nazi Party in WWII Germany did not pull their beliefs out of their asses. Their beliefs, doctrines, rites, rituals and symbology were carefully extracted from esoteric and occult writings which were popular with the German and European intelligentsia in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Among these were the writings of Edward Bulwer - Lytton (1803 - 1873), a prolific and very popular writer of his time who coined the phrase, "The pen is mightier than the sword." </b><br />

<b>His writings were said to have influenced Bram Stoker, the author of "Dracula" (1897) and later inspired writers of horror, science fiction and the occult. Of his many writings, the one most taken to heart by early Master Race proponents was, "Vril: The Power Of The Coming Race" (1871), which tells the story of a subterranean race of beings superior in intelligence to humans, who escaped The Great Flood by fleeing underground. </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>BLIND DOG OZZY: Where else?</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: They make use of an etheric force called </b><i>vril </i><b>which like the the Chinese </b><i>chi, </i><b>the Indian </b><i>prana</i><b><i> </i>and Wilhelm Reich's </b><i>orgone,</i><b> was said to pervade all things and gave them the power to both destroy and heal and would one day allow them to return to the surface of the Earth and dominate the planet once again. Bulwer - Lyttons's writings were further echoed in the writings of Helena Petrovna Blavatski (1831 - 1891), a Russian-born occultist and spirit medium.</b><br />

<b> Her writings such as "Isis Unveiled" (1877) and "The Secret Doctrine" (1888) were well received by a public who had only recently had their spiritual beliefs dashed by the publication of Charles Darwin's "The Origin Of Species" (1859) and "The Descent Of Man" (1871). While Darwin argued that the existence of humans could be explained in cold, clinical, scientific terms, Blavatsky's writings offered an alternative history of humankind which allowed learned people of her day to retain deep spiritual beliefs while simultaneously, accepting the current discoveries of science which were plentiful at the time.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>BLIND DOG OZZY: What are we, if not men of SCIENCE?!!!</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: In her writings, Blavatsky claimed that she encountered beings she referred to as The Great White Brotherhood. These "Ascended Masters" as they are alternately known is some occult circles, are said to impart advanced wisdom to select, special people on Earth who in turn, give that wisdom to lowly humans ... sometimes at a cost.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>BLIND DOG OZZY: That was one of the reasons why Blavatsky was considered a fraud by skeptics in her day ... she charged!</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: But again we see the concept of a (figuratively) White Master Race in her writings which to be fair, probably referred to purity and not a race of humans with white skin. Then along comes Houston Stewart Chamberlain who in 1899 wrote </b><i>Die Grundlagen Des Neunzehnten Jahrhunderts </i><b>("The Foundations Of The Nineteenth Century") which in a pseudo-scientific manner, ascribed all of the great achievements in civilized history up until the 19th century as the work of the Aryan race. </b><br />

<b><br /></b>
<b>BLIND DOG OZZY: Here comes the history lesson!</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b> "BLUE" JIMMY: Originally, the term </b><i>Aryan </i><b>referred to speakers of Indo-European languages who were thought to form a branch of the Caucasian race. By the late 19th, early 20th centuries, the term </b><i>Aryan </i><b>mutated to include the ancient Greeks, Romans, Celts, Germanic peoples and anyone else who had contributed greatly to Western Civilization. Besides various academics at the Turn Of The Century who were indulging in "creative anthropology," there were the mystics such as Madam Blavatsky who maintained that the Aryan race originated in the mythical continent of Atlantis or some other antediluvian civilization.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>BLIND DOG OZZY: On the fringe!</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: All this speculation was enticing to the eyes and ears of the citizens of post WW I Weimar Germany who were precursors to the American Beat Generation and the turned-on, Hippie Generation. During this decadent era which lasted roughly, between 1919 - 1933, many German citizens were into spiritism, astrology, numerology, palm reading, vegetarianism, nudism, Yoga, meditation and many practices which would be familiar to anyone living in late 50's, 1960's America.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>BLIND DOG OZZY: Groovy!</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: Through a Romantic haze of extreme liberated sexuality, (you don't want to know) and drugs which could seriously f**k up your good judgement, (ether, chloroform, cocaine, opium, morphine, heroin) the idea of a pure, white, fairy tale race of humans made for good, stimulating conversations in the parlors and cabarets of Weimar Germany. </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>BLIND DOG OZZY: Tre's chic!</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: But the burgeoning National Socialist movement (Nazis) in pre WWII Germany needed a mythos, a </b><i>raison d' etre </i><b>for their increasingly nationalistic and xenophobic frame of mind. Amid severe economic crisis which was largely blamed on foreigners, the poor, the uneducated, the handicapped, homosexuals and various "mongrel races" who were not of pure "Nordic stock," the Nazi Party embraced the idea of a pure, proud, blonde-haired, blue-eyed, white-skinned German people who would make the country "great again."</b><br />

<b>BLIND DOG OZZY: Why does that sound familiar?</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: We all know what happened next, no need to bother you with nasty details. The Allies eventually defeated Germany in World War II but as history will show, they did not defeat the Nazis. Nazi war criminals of various stripe escaped to South America and the United States and if conspiracy theories are to be believed, with the help of the U.S. Government. As I have written in previous articles, you may defeat a country in war but you cannot kill a philosophy. Thus, to this day in the United States and Western World, we have remnants of White Supremacy movements which refuse to die. </b><br />

<b><br /></b>
<b> "BLUE" JIMMY: The film shows how there is much dissent between White Supremacist groups although they still have much in common.

<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: Amazingly, Pierce was not some computer/Internet geek living in his nana's basement but a full-blown professor of physics whose writings were taken very seriously by the National Alliance which he founded as well as legions of contemporary White Supremacists who use mythology, The Bible, revisionist history, fanciful anthropology/archaeology, pseudoscience and barnyard genetics to advance their causes.</b><br />

<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: In the United States, the abolition of slavery, the tireless efforts of civil rights workers, the enactment of civil rights laws and more than anything, naturally changed attitudes toward race and human relations have made White Supremacist theories seem antiquated.

<b>Proponents of this theory believe that there is a conspiracy to eliminate the White Race through mass immigration, race mixing, homosexuality, birth control and abortion. This is interesting to note in a psychological sense because it appears that White Supremacists have gone from a "We will conquer and rule the world" stance to a "Poor me" frame of mind in the span of just several decades. I will leave that to the experts ... I'm just some f**king guy! The lowdown is, hate groups still exist and the world seems all the worse for it. What can be done? ... Well, let's see ...</b><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: Back in the month of May, when there was still a handful of presidential hopefuls left in the 2016 Presidential Election, I made a bold prediction and said that while I would not vote for her, Hillary Clinton would take the Presidency based on her political and family connections and the importance of her being the first woman President Of The United States Of America ... I was wrong! </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>BLIND DOG OZZY: WTF!!! </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: I based this prediction on the fact that while having a wealthy father and grandfather, Donald Trump does not come from generations of wealth, power and royalty like the Rothschild, Windsor, Rockefeller, Getty, Kennedy, Bush AND Clinton families. Yes, despite the fact that Bill Clinton was considered by many to be somewhat of a philandering redneck, he was actually very educated and came from a long line of royalty and Big Money. </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>BLIND DOG OZZY: "It ain't immoral if it's only oral." ( B. Clinton).</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: Apparently, Donald Trump was more entrenched in the American political system than I ever imagined and the result is ...</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>BLIND DOG OZZY: ... Your children and your children's children will now have to learn about this media clown in American History class!!!</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: But we coulda done worse! History is full of psychotic leaders who ended up in office due to opportune circumstances and were not exactly um, ... <i>public favorites.</i></b><br />
<b style="font-style: italic;"><br /></b>
<b>BLIND DOG OZZY: The following is a reckless and random list of historical leaders who were <i>not the full picnic, </i>as British people say: </b><br />
<b style="font-style: italic;"><br /></b>
<br />
<ul>
<li><b>Empress Wu Zetian, empress of China from 690 to 705 AD. She had thousands of people who gained her disfavor burned, boiled, strangled, poisoned, or mutilated on a daily basis, including members of her own family. You could say like many modern politicians, she didn't like "opposition."</b></li>
<li><b>Caligula. He was Rome's third emperor from 37 to 41 AD. He was mentally ill and thought himself a god which caused him to commit countless acts of sexual depravity even with members of his own family, kill hundreds of thousands of animals and people just for his own sadistic enjoyment and ordered people to watch the strangulation and decapitation of their own children. Amazingly, he was finally assassinated in 41 AD not for the horrible atrocities he committed against his people but for political reasons ... ah, politics!</b></li>
<li><b>Godfrey Of Bouillon. He was a Frankish knight who was one of the leaders of the First Crusade. Believing that the Jews were responsible for the crucifixion of Jesus and that Muslims were practicing a heathen religion, he arrived in Jerusalem in 1099 AD and slaughtered any of both faiths who occupied the city in the hundreds of thousands -- men, women and children! Donald Trump would have probably made him Secretary Of Defense.</b></li>
<li><b>Vlad Tepes. The man who was the inspiration for the Count Dracula myth, was Prince Of Wallachia in the 1400's who in his battles against the Ottomans, was known to make his enemies "get the point." He executed tens of thousands of people by facial and rectal impalement (you don't want to know) but was also amused by skinning, boiling, strangling, stabbing, roasting and burying alive. He often dined and drank among the bodies of his victims. He was also not a fan of the poor and sick. He once invited the poor and sick of the town of Targoviste to a banquet during which he had the hall sealed and burned to the ground with all the occupants inside. Donald Trump would have admired his social reform methods.</b></li>
<li><b>Tamerlane The Great. He was the founder of the Timurid Empire who conquered and terrorized Western, Central and South Asia in the fourteenth century. He had literally, MILLIONS of people burned, beheaded, stabbed and suffocated. One of his favorite methods of execution was to force people to jump to their deaths from great heights. He had massive towers built from the skulls of the dead just for him to get a hard-on to ... nice!</b></li>
<li><b>King John Of England. To cut through all the myth and legend from the Tales Of Robin Hood, from 1099 to 1216, he basically stole from his countrymen, stole from The Church and raped, tortured or executed anyone who had the nerve to criticize his harsh measures, such as raising taxes by 300%, forcing most of the country into poverty ... sound like any politicians you know?</b></li>
<li><b>Pol Pot. He was a Cambodian dictator who led the communist Khmer Rouge and from 1975 to 1979 was largely responsible for the Cambodian Genocide in which roughly, 25% of the Cambodian people were killed due to forced relocation from urban to rural areas in which they suffered disease, starvation, execution and death due to forced labor. Kind of disturbing when Donald Trump says he wants to "put people to work" building a wall!</b></li>
<li><b> </b><b>Attila The Hun. Ruler of the Huns who short of actually sacking Rome and Constantinople were nevertheless, responsible for f**king up a good part of the Roman Empire from 434 to 453 A.D. Attila, who was known as "The Scourge Of God " didn't just conquer lands and cities, he and his army reduced them to piles of smoldering ash and broken stones with their populations raped, robbed, tortured and mutilated (oh, and killed, of course). In myth, it is said that "grass never grew again where his horse had trod." You might say he had um, "anger issues."</b></li>
<li><b>Genghis Khan. Ruler of the Mongolian Empire from 1206 to 1227 in which he conquered most of China and terrorized the Persian Plateau. Modern estimates conclude that the Mongols exterminated about 5% of the world's population or more than 37 million men, women and children. Let's put it this way, The Armenian Genocide, Cambodian Genocide and Jewish Holocaust combined, did not kill as many people as Genghis Khan! I guess you could say he was not a "people person."</b></li>
<li><b>Adolph Hitler. Many people don't know that in addition to all the ethnic Jews that Hitler was responsible for killing in his hellish concentration camps, there were also multitudes of Russians, Poles, Ukrainians, Serbians, Gypsies, Catholics, Jehovah's Witnesses, Spanish Republicans, communists, trade unionists, anarchists, Freemasons, homosexuals and disabled people who were considered unworthy and died from execution, bizarre pseudo-medical experimentation or just the sheer, harsh conditions of the camps. The most horrifying thing about Hitler though, was not just the camps but that he convinced most of the population of Germany that he was RIGHT! Expertly using the media which at the time, included: books; pamphlets; film; the new technology of radio and also bombastic rallies with Heavy Metal-style light shows, he fired up and mesmerized the German public and was incredibly popular. He also promised to rid the country of foreigners and other undesirables, create jobs, stimulate the economy and make the country "great again." Why does that sound familiar?</b></li>
</ul>

<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: In the past few decades, we had started to dispel the notion that college and professional athletes are nothing more than big, dumb muscleheads whose I.Q.s rarely surpass their age. But that image had changed in recent years, with the advent of higher academic standards, harsh penalties for classroom cheating and the appearance in the media of college and pro athletes who are well-informed and articulate, often giving interviews that were worthy of "Meet The Press."</b><br />
<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>BLIND DOG OZZY: Then somebody had to f**k it all up!</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: In August of 2016, San Francisco 49er Colin Kaepernick refused to stand for the National Anthem and the U.S. flag before an NFL football game, citing issues with "a country that oppresses black people and people of color."</b><br />

<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: This half-assed protest has sparked a dumbass domino effect among pro, college and even high school athletes who think they are making a statement about events of late, which show that there is much discrimination by corrupt government officials and brutal police departments against ethnic minorities and ANYONE who doesn't "look right."</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>BLIND DOG OZZY: Athletic talent and brains don't always go hand in hand!</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: What is wrong with this form of protest? First, The National Anthem and the stars and stripes red, white and blue flag is not a symbol of the President, the U.S Government or any police department -- it is a symbol of every American and the values and ideals which they take to heart: peace; freedom; justice; equality and the pursuit of happiness. Why would any citizen want to protest The United States Of America? The country that: freed itself from oppressive British rule; abolished slavery; gave negroes and women the right to vote; enacted civil rights laws and harsh penalties for those who violate them; gives billions of dollars in foreign aid to countries around the world; allows tens of thousands of refugees to seek asylum in our country ( about 85,000 this year alone) and has produced brave civil rights activists, movers and shakers and heroes that include: Thomas Paine; Susan B. Anthony; Harriet Tubman; Jane Addams; Booker T. Washington; W.E.B. Du Bois; Gordon Hirabayashi; Martin Luther King; Cesar Chavez; Harvey Milk; Gloria Steinem; Muhammad Ali; James Brown; Edward Snowden and others too numerous to name. What the are you protesting ...</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>BLIND DOG OZZY: ... You bonehead, Neanderthal, dumbf**k jocks ?!!!</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: No one hates political corruption, injustice and police brutality more than me. I have been there on the streets and have experienced it firsthand. But I say to athletes everywhere, why not use your popularity, influence and obscene wealth to: create grants and scholarships, legal defense funds; afterschool programs; educational workshops; lectures; seminars and public speaking engagements designed to get to the root of the problem of violence and injustice? No, instead you do what all ignorant people do when they don't have the brains or the guts to do the right thing ...</b><br />

<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: I've written about the subject of the false nature of U.S. Presidential Elections in the past (see my blog "Making You Feel Important: The 2012 Presidential Election") and have been very critical of all the candidates.

I see so much passion from supporters and protesters. Supporters believe that he will somehow "turn this country around" and make it great again while protesters believe that if they hold up signs and shout slogans, they can save this country from the embarrassment of having Trump as the Leader Of The Free World.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>BLIND DOG OZZY: Yeah, none of that is gonna happen.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: We have five candidates left, three Republican and two Democrat, and I could have narrowed it down to those five two years ago. John Kasich can never win because he's a middle-of-the-road politician from a Midwestern state with all the charisma and leadership abilities of a middle school principal. Bernie Sanders can never win because he's less U.S. President and more loud, annoying, irritable old guy who does your taxes every year. Ted Cruz can never win because a Latino will never be elected President unless George Lopez decides to run for office. Donald Trump, despite his popularity, can never win because well, he's Donald Trump and if Presidents were elected according to sheer popularity polls, Kim Kardashian could be our next President. People who think Trump can win don't understand the complexities of the electoral process which to tell you the truth, I don't even fully understand.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>BLIND DOG OZZY: Don't look at me!</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: My deep and sinister journalistic sources informed me long ago that Hillary Clinton will be "placed" as the next President Of The United States Of America due to her significant family and political ties and the strategic importance of her being the first woman President.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>BLIND DOG OZZY: There you have it!</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: Mind you, I don't support Clinton or any of the other candidates, I just know what the score is. I've made it a reoccuring theme in my political writings that the American People should quit looking for a Messiah Candidate who will "make America great again." </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>BLIND DOG OZZY: F**k the candidates!!!</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: There are more than 300 million people in this country and there's only one President. <i>We </i>should determine the quality of our lives and not some figurehead. America does not need to be made great again ...</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>BLIND DOG OZZY: ... America has always been great!!!</b><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: I rarely do DVD reviews, but I found an exception in the documentary, "CitizenFour" first aired on HBO in 2014 and then released on DVD last year, about the Edward Snowden case and subsequent, worldwide explosion on right-to-privacy issues. I had followed the Edward Snowden case with some interest ... </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>BLIND DOG OZZY: LUST! ...</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: ... Some investigative journalist curiosity ...</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>BLIND DOG OZZY: ... FILTHY LUST!! ... </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: ... Ok, "motivated fascination" ... </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>BLIND DOG OZZY: F**KING LUST!!! </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: This is the story millions of journalists of my generation anticipated for decades! If you were a journalism student like me in the 70's and 80's, you were no doubt, inspired -- scratch that -- moved to action, by the 1976 film, "All The President's Men" starring Robert Redford and Dustin Hoffman which was based on the non-fiction book by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein. The book, written by these two Washington Post reporters, blows the lid off the complex web of lies, deceit, corruption and criminal acts committed mostly during the Nixon Administration which culminated in the burglary of Democratic National Committee headquarters at the Watergate Hotel. Washington Post reporters Woodward and Bernstein (jointly referred to as "WoodStein" by their editor-in-chief), conducted an investigation which was much more like a police investigation than one typically done by a newspaper. Putting their weiners on the chopping block and relying on mostly anonymous sources (something taboo in journalism), they got the scoop on The Story Of The Century and became legendary in the field of investigative journalism.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>BLIND DOG OZZY: And probably got laid on a regular basis!</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: When the Edward Snowden case came to light, I was thrown back many decades and was envious of the journalists involved in this case. Basically, the documentary "Citizen Four" shows how documentary filmmaker Laura Poitras and Glenn Greenwald of the British newspaper <i>The Guardian </i>were sucked into this case by a stranger on the internet who sent them encrypted emails under the screen name "Citizen Four" and gave them information on grossly illegal surveillance practices by the National Security Agency and other government offices all done ostensibly, to fight the War On Terror. In the documentary, Poitras and Greenwald travel to Hong Kong where "Citizen Four" is hiding out in a hotel room. "Citizen Four" reveals himself to be American citizen, former CIA employee and NSA contractor, Edward Snowden. Unlike NSA whistleblower William Binney, who resigned from the NSA in 2001 and alleged unconstitutional violations of privacy by his former employers, Mr. Snowden brought the goods. He provided thousands and thousands of stolen documents that showed that the NSA and other agencies have illegally collected massive amounts of digital data on American and foreign citizens and even friendly, foreign government officials.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>BLIND DOG OZZY: Oh, B**ch!!! As if America didn't have enough enemies already!</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: Although missing all the car chases and explosions and Kung Fu fighting, the documentary has the feel of a spy movie. And Snowden, looking pale and nerdy and living off of room service, looks less James Bond and more "Big Bang Theory." But patient, determined, meticulous and displaying a big set o' brass cannon balls, he starts spewing out information that he knows will ruin his comfortable life and change the course of history.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>BLIND DOG OZZY: Bam!!!</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: With his permission, his identity is revealed to The World, his information gets published and the media blitz is on. Reporters start making phone calls to his room, he changes rooms as an evasion tactic but realizes that the U.S. government will soon ask that he be extradited to face criminal charges. It becomes obvious to Snowden that he will have to leave Hong Kong and with the help of various human rights crusaders and even Wikileaks founder Julian Assange, he heads for South America but becomes stranded in Russia. Those involved in his case are either harassed, followed or feel threatened and have to sever direct contact with him. </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>BLIND DOG OZZY: They felt they might get "taken out!"</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: That's what adds an element of suspense to the documentary. Despite the sensitive and classified nature of the information being handled here, there is a rush to get it the f**k out! Snowden and the journalists he's chosen to share this information with, are the hub of this information which can be conveniently made to "disappear" by sinister government authorities if this story is not published on a wide scale and given to the public. Once the information is published, most of the threat to their lives is removed.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>BLIND DOG OZZY: You can't put the genie back in the bottle!</b><br />
<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: In the aftermath, Snowden is stuck in Russia, not because he is a Russian spy as some have alleged, but because his passport has been revoked and he cannot travel to South America where he had originally planned to ask for asylum. Eventually, he was granted a three-year stay in Russia and has applied for political asylum in countless countries but they have all bowed to the pressure of the Obama administration's "requests" that they not grant him asylum. </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>BLIND DOG OZZY: Even countries that were <i>outraged </i>over the NSA spying such as Germany, have acted like total pussies and refused asylum for Snowden on technical grounds!</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: Ultimately, Snowden is better off for now, in Russia. Being a former CIA employee, he has pointed out that the CIA has a strong presence in South America and he could easily be snatched off the street and taken back to the U.S. to face charges. The U. S. government can't lean on the Russians the way it does with everyone else. </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>BLIND DOG OZZY: I never thought in my lifetime, I would see Russia aiding and abetting a champion of right-to-privacy and free speech while the United States persecuted that same person ... WTF!!!</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: President Obama maintains that Snowden is a criminal and that before Snowden's revelations came about, he ordered an investigation of NSA practices. Yet, the Obama administration revealed nothing about NSA spying and violations of The Constitution. Every discussion of the Snowden case by the U. S. government revolves around the legal aspects of his copying of classified documents and completely ignores the fact that he caught the government <i>in the act </i>of creating an Orwellian, "Big Brother" society. This is a much bigger deal than many people think. Many think that a society like this is inevitable and that we should just bow down and accept it. Snowden unexpectedly, threw a big monkey wrench into the "1984" machinery and may have bought us years of time to "Kick Out The Jams Motherf**ker!" as the rock band The MC5, so directly put it.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>BLIND DOG OZZY: So why should anyone see this documentary?</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: The FBI, CIA, NSA, the DOD and many other acronyms claim that we as citizens, have the luxury of not seeing all the dirty deeds that they do to keep us a free society. "Citizen Four" shows an American Citizen in real time, committing one of these dirty deeds to do exactly the same thing and not once did he ever deny it. As Henry David Thoreau said in an essay on civil disobedience, "The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation ... " "Citizen Four" shows a man refusing to lead a life of quiet desperation and in step by step fashion, we see a man ruining his life to preserve the freedom of others. You're a goddamned, thieving criminal Mr. Snowden! ... So why don't I hate you?</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>BLIND DOG OZZY: I can't ...</b><br />

<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: The War On Terrorism failed the moment it began. </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>BLIND DOG OZZY: First of all, terrorism isn't a person, place or thing that you can drop bombs on and eliminate!</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: The American legal system, various governments around the world and even the United Nations have not been able to come up with a single, legally binding definition of terrorism. In a very general, oversimplified way, you could say that terrorism is violence perpetrated by a group of people (although sometimes individuals) against noncombatants designed to have far-reaching effects that go beyond the actual act of terror.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>BLIND DOG OZZY: Look at the s**t storm of wide-sweeping measures taken by the U.S. government after Sept. 11, 2001 -- try walking through airport security with your pants on!</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: In light of those attacks and some more recent ones that made the headlines, there has been much anti-Muslim sentiment in the U.S. This has resulted in hate crimes against Muslims and Republican Presidential Candidate Donald Trump, who is no stranger to brain-dead public comments, expressing a desire to ban non-citizen Muslims from entering the country.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>BLIND DOG OZZY: How about pseudo-politicians below a certain I.Q. from entering the country!</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: What would surprise many people however, is to know that most terrorist acts in the U.S. for about the last 30 years, were not carried out by Muslims of any kind.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>BLIND DOG OZZY: Dun, Dun, Dun!</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: That ain't my opinion, people! According to an annual report by the FBI entitled, "Terrorism In The United States" ...</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>BLIND DOG OZZY: Catchy title! ...</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: Most terrorism in the U.S. is committed by non-Muslim f**kwads, many who have originated within the U.S. This list includes: Ejercito Popular Boricua Macheteros (a Puerto Rican separatist group); Left Wing and Right Wing extemist groups; Neo Nazi skinheads; anti-abortion activists; environmental activists; animal rights crusaders and Jewish extremist organizations such as the Jewish Defense League. </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>BLIND DOG OZZY: According to the FBI stats, more terrorism is done in the U.S. by Jewish extremist groups than any Muslim terrorists! Is anyone calling for a ban on Jews entering the country?</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: The big, annoying, loudmouth bitch of a point we're trying to make is that terrorism is a <i>tactic, </i>used by desperate people with nothing to lose, who cling to the philosophy that blowing up a classroom full of children is justified if it brings about a greater good and advances their cause.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>BLIND DOG OZZY: How do you handcuff and imprison that?</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: Terrorism is not something you can defeat with military force and bomb out of existence. The U.S. has meddled in the affairs of too many countries and now the chickens have come home to roost. I had a neighbor on my street who liked to get s**tfaced, gossip, snitch and get into everybody's business. Yet he wanted everybody to "get off my goddamned lawn and leave me the hell alone!"</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>BLIND DOG OZZY: Yeah, things don't work that way!</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: There's never a good excuse for terrorism, but when it rears its ugly head in your country you can't just rattle your saber and send in the cavalry and single out certain people. You got to get to the root causes -- and that takes a quiet mouth, a strong mind and much effort ...</b><br />
<b><br /></b>

<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: In recent debates and interviews, GOP political candidate Donald Trump, has lost whatever credibility he had left by pushing the idea of a mass deportation of Mexican immigrants if he is elected president.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>BLIND DOG OZZY: I knew sooner or later, he would not only stick his foot in his mouth, but step in s**t first and then stick it in!</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: Evidence of this, is the input of none other than conservative commentator Bill O' Reilly, ( a man who proposed a Berlin Wall on the U.S. / Mexican border! ) who confronted Trump and criticized the feasibility of his plan. Both referenced a shameful episode in U.S. history known as Operation Wetback, in which President Eisenhower in the 1950's, authorized the deportation of more than a million "perceived" Mexicans, many of whom were actually U.S. citizens. Trump seems to think that this was a good, precise, efficient plan to get rid of unwanted Mexicans while O'Reilly reminded him that this was a "brutal" plan that resulted in many tragedies. </b></div>

<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: This was not the first deportation of Mexicans across the border in the mistaken belief that they were somehow "ruining" the American way of life. Back in the 1930's during the Great Depression, millions of Mexicans and Mexican/American citizens were also coerced, intimidated and forced (deported) back to Mexico, tearing apart families and lives in the process.

<b>BLIND DOG OZZY: People suffered the most f**ked up abuses while being arrested and detained and like Nazi concentration camp survivors, there are only a few people left alive who can give first - hand accounts of this catastrophe!</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: For Trump to propose a redo of this s**t stain in American history which would damage and deeply offend millions of Americans, shows that his candidacy has always been a half -assed publicity stunt to grab attention -- much like the nomination in 1968, of an actual pig (Pigasus) for president by the Yippie Party!</b><br />

<b>BLIND DOG OZZY: Except the pig turned out to be a better candidate than the eventual winner (Richard Nixon)!!!</b><br />

<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: Pope Francis recently made his "royal address " to the United Nations and has made frequent speaking appearances all over the world in which he has spoken candidly about many subjects.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>BLIND DOG OZZY: Some have even gone so far as to call him the "People's Pope." </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: But for him to scold The World like a mean-ass nun in catechism class who caught you chewing gum is hypocrisy up the ass!!! In short order, he criticized The World for oh, I don't know, things like: Corporate greed; neglect of the poor; drug trafficking; human trafficking & sexual exploitation; warmongering; destruction of the environment and religious intolerance!!!</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>BLIND DOG OZZY: Oh, b**ch!!! This, coming from a religious leader who lives in Caligula-like, decadent luxury who represents a Church which has supported and received countless millions from fascist governments, ( e.g. Mussolini, Nazi Party), has owned stock in a weapons manufacturing corporation (Beretta), has done business with companies which harm the environment and goes against Church teachings (such as a pharmaceutical company which produces birth control products), has practiced aggressive and institutionalized pedophilia for centuries, has systematically destroyed indigenous cultures, documents and teachings so as to be lost forever, imprisoned, tortured and burned "non - believers" for questioning the slightest aspects of Church dogma ( e.g. Is the communion wafer the actual "Body of Christ" or just symbolic? ) and has historical treasures, material wealth and financial holdings which are incalculable due to its tax - exempt status and ability to circumvent financial reporting practices. </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: Dude!!! You gave them both barrels! The fact is that The Church has a lot of <i>'splaining to do </i>about its own activities before it can start bitch slapping World Leaders and Nations. Even if you wanted to overlook its medieval past, The Church has been involved in contemporary scandals that involve the Mafia, money laundering at the Vatican Bank, pedophile rings and the suspicious resignation of Pope Benedict for "health reasons." </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>BLIND DOG OZZY: The Vatican was cleaning house and he had to go!!!</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: There's a lot of good people in The Catholic Church who have dedicated their lives to humanitarian aid and spiritual guidance but the lowdown is, The Vatican has been a corrupt and perverse institution since its inception and the historical documentation is overwhelming! I don't often quote the bible, but here's a gem: <i>"Thou hypocrite, first cast the beame out of thine owne eye: and then shalt thy see clearly to cast the mote out of thy brother's eye." -- Matthew 7:5. </i>Which in vulgar, corrupted, American English is: "You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you can see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye -- asshole!"</b><br />

<b>BLIND DOG OZZY: Dude, you're quoting "The Bible" ... What a fag!!! Here's a riddle -- Why are nuns called nuns? ... 'Cause they never get none! Ohhhh!!!</b><br />

<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: OK, so I bin wantin' to write this blog since the story broke but since I ain't a news reporter but an investigative journalist, I was waiting for the "<i>aftermath" </i>so I could go off on the subject of the 2015 Clinton Correctional Facility Escape as it will be known in coming years and when the major motion picture comes to theaters near you!</b><br />

I have to cover my tablet at times to protect my passwords and other sensitive information. I have written before about the Big Brother, "Fahrenheit 451" and "Brave New World" aspects of our society. The other day, I read an article about an electronic device that allows police departments to see through the walls of your house and monitor your movements inside your home <i>without a search warrant! </i>Weak-minded people have told me, "well, if you're not doing anything wrong, you have nothing to worry about!" </b><br />

<b><br /></b>
<b>BLIND DOG OZZY: Yeah, that's what the filthy f***king Nazis and Soviets used to tell their citizens before kicking down their doors and hauling their asses off to prison for "suspicious" behaviour -- Bastards!!!</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: And the Draconian Patriot Act, which you or I had no say in passing, allows violations of freedom not seen since the days of the Spanish Inquisition. </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>BLIND DOG OZZY: And don't even try to take a tube of Preparation H through airport security! And hey, I bet you enjoy some sweaty NSA worker putting their grimy hands down your child's pants!</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: So I want to know how a couple of barely educated, small-town, f**k ups and convicted murderers named Richard Matt and David Sweat, using Neanderthal tools and a little inside help were able to escape from a maximum security prison and evade capture for close to a month with literally hundreds of law enforcement personnel, with every high-tech resource, looking for them? Apparently, this real -life Thelma & Louise could have taken out The White House, The Pentagon and NORAD with a little more planning and elbow grease!</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>BLIND DOG OZZY: I can't even walk out of Walmart without showing the necessary documentation (sales receipt) -- how does this happen?</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: The point I'm trying to make is that since the enactment of the Patriot Act and all other post 911 hysteria, we are no safer or protected than before but living in a Big Brother society where all your freedoms are taken away "for your own good." </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>BLIND DOG OZZY: When you were in school, you thought it was bulls**t when the teacher would punish the whole class when one idiot was caught chewing gum! Why does the entire country have to be punished when a few psychotic assholes go off on a terror binge?</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b><br /></b>
<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: Now, as I'm in the middle of this blog, a breaking news story is that Mexican drug lord, Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman escaped from a "maximum security" prison in Mexico and is on the loose. This guy was one of the most watched criminals in the world!</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>BLIND DOG OZZY: Then he escapes through a mile-long tunnel in his shower -- and no one saw anything ... nice!!!</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: It doesn't matter when they catch him or how high they hang him, the fact is that all the electronic surveillance in the world couldn't stop one of the most wanted criminals on the planet from escaping. The truth is that Big Brother surveillance and invasions of our privacy are no match for diligent law enforcement and alert citizens when it comes to catching criminals.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>BLIND DOG OZZY: And we don't have to have microscopes up our asses to do that!</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: It's been said before before but I'll say it again, a government that fears the actions and movements of its own people is no government at all and I don't need to be doing anything wrong to enjoy my right to privacy. Your ancestors, like mine, lived good, honest lives, worked hard, fought in World Wars and gave their lives for your freedom. You deserve better than a paranoid, suspicious government that monitors your every move -- you have earned it! Do you want government-installed surveillance inside your home? That could be next!</b><br />

<b><br /></b>
<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: There's different theories as to why certain news is censored and forbidden. Some people say it's because media outlets are afraid to offend their mildly educated readers. Others say they are afraid that sponsors will pull their advertising, which makes good economic but not good journalistic sense or that government officials put pressure on them not to report certain stories.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>BLIND DOG OZZY: It's probably all of that s**t!</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: To mention all the stories that are not being covered by the mainstream media would take a whole book so, we're just going to throw a handful of topics out there to get people thinking. There's an incredible amount of information out there in books from small, independent publishers, underground publications, radio and of course, The Vast Internet if you know how to navigate it properly.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>BLIND DOG OZZY: Yeah, so put that video game down and do some research!</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: Forbidden Story #1: We keep hearing about all these police shootings of unarmed civilians so the Feds must be keeping track of all these deaths, right? Wrong. Even though the FBI keeps track of every police officer killed in the line of duty, it keeps no statistics of police shootings of civilians and local police departments are not even required to supply those records to them. Fortunately, some civilian organizations are keeping computer databases of these shootings and are encouraging information from anyone who has it.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>BLIND DOG OZZY: Forbidden Story #2: Hundreds of women and girls in the city of Juarez, Mexico are being murdered and mutilated and no one seems to be doing anything about it. The women and girls are not mostly prostitutes or border jumpers as they had previously been characterized, but rather, young females on their way home from factory jobs who are found raped, murdered and missing body parts like someone was killing them for sport. Law enforcement in the U.S. says it's not their problem (even though Juarez is on the Texas/Mexico border) and Mexican law enforcement is too incompetent to do anything about it. Some journalists and activists claim to know the identities of the leaders of this thrill kill cult but still, no one is arrested and the killings continue -- goddamn!</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: Forbidden story #3: We often hear that in unstable countries, people who speak out against the government get put on some kind of government s**t list and are harassed mercilessly. Well, it happens here too. People are reporting that members of American protest or activist organizations such as the Occupy movement are being put under FBI or NSA surveillance, followed and harassed with the justification that they are a potential "terrorist" threat. But according to the mainstream media, this only happens in <i>other </i>countries.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>BLIND DOG OZZY: Forbidden Story #4: Overwhelming evidence has been compiled showing that GMOs (genetically modified foods), aspartame (NutraSweet), fluoride and most vaccines are extremely bad for you. Most agencies who say these substances are safe have some sort of financial or political stake in them (such as the FDA and the WHO) while the independent researchers who have found these things toxic stand to gain nothing. Yet, their findings consistently go unpublished by the mainstream media.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: Forbidden Story #5: Many reliable sources are accusing the U.S. military of engaging in the indiscriminate use of "chaptering out" whereby, wounded soldiers are brought up on weak or false violations and then they are dishonorably discharged and stripped of all their government benefits including health care. The military then has room to bring in young, healthy recruits who can go into combat and face the same thing if they are unfortunate enough to get wounded. The military, of course, denies that this takes place but many insiders say that this happens all the time to good men who risked their lives for their country -- and no one's reporting it.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>BLIND DOG OZZY: Forbidden Story #6: The top recipients of U.S. foreign aid all practice torture and human rights abuses on a regular basis according to Amnesty International and other human rights organizations. Most U.S. foreign aid goes to African and Middle Eastern countries with the top prize going to Israel which receives more than three billion dollars a year. It's a well known fact that Israel invented the torture techniques which other countries put into use -- Thanks, Israel. By the way, you won't hear this in the news.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: Forbidden Story #7: The war in Iraq has left Iraqi citizens with an extremely high birth defect and miscarriage rate due to the American military's use of toxic chemicals like lead, mercury and depleted uranium. Of course, the military denies any connection but then hey, they also said Agent Orange was harmless. The birth defects in children are so horrifying, no American media outlet will show the photos -- but it still happens.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>BLIND DOG OZZY: Forbidden Story #8: The Federal Reserve Bank, which controls most of the money in this country, is <u style="font-style: italic;">not a government agency.</u> C</b><b>onspiracy theorists have blamed the Federal Reserve for everything from World Wars to the Great Depression to the assassination of JFK (who took steps to diminish the power of the Federal Reserve) to the financial meltdown of 2008. The fact is, the Federal Reserve is a government-sanctioned, privately-owned cartel which apparently produces money out of thin air and has a monopoly on credit and currency which has produced a debt that the United States government can never repay. I never learned this in school -- did you? </b><br />

<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: Forbidden Story #9: The educational system in the United States is designed to produce worker drones and not intellectuals. John D. Rockefeller Sr. was often quoted as saying, "I don't want a nation of thinkers, I want a nation of workers." His Rockefeller Foundation, along with the "charitable" works of many other big-money families, have directed the course of education at all levels in this country for countless decades. Critical thinking is discouraged and instead, students are encouraged to learn skills which will set them up for a lifetime of wage slavery. Every article I've ever read about the U.S. educational system deals with behavior (e.g. sex scandals) and security issues -- never what kids actually learn in the classroom.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>BLIND DOG OZZY: Forbidden Story #10: What's with the underground cities? No longer in the realm of zany conspiracy theories, it is a proven fact that the United States has been building massive underground installations since the 1940's. These underground bases are said to be built by nuclear tunneling equipment which can bore through solid rock at a rate of miles-per-day and are located under every major American city. Some contain many different levels, are interconnected by high speed trains, contain medical facilities, shopping malls and every major convenience and are described as being large enough to house countless thousands of people. What are they for?</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: Here's where we stumble back into the area of conspiracy theory. Some say the bases are just military bases indicative of how the U.S. military utilizes overkill in everything they do.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>BLIND DOG OZZY: Some say they're in preparation for some massive civil unrest where government officials and prim and proper folks will have to take refuge underground -- Zombie Attack!!!</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: Here's a good one! Some say it's in preparation for the return of the planet Nibiru, a celestial body which rotates near the Earth every 3,000 years or so and its approach is supposed to trigger cataclysmic events which will make the surface of the Earth inhospitable and will force what is left of the world's population to take refuge underground.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>BLIND DOG OZZY: OH, B**CH!!! </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: Whatever these installations are for, they are <i style="text-decoration: underline;">real</i> and you won't hear about them or any of these other stories unless you forget about the mainstream media and read and do research and frequent bookstores and websites that feature um, <i>exotic </i>content.</b><br />

<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: The history of the motion picture industry is full of examples of protests and attempts to censor. The 1915 film, "Birth of a Nation" the first 12 reel film in America, was protested by the NAACP due to its negative characterization of black folks (who were played by white actors in blackface) and its</b> <b>portrayal of the Klu Klux Klan as heroes. In my lifetime, I remember quite a s**t storm being raised over the release of many films and subsequent attempts to censor by protesters: "Lolita" for glorifying pedophilia; "Caligula" for its decadent violence and sexuality; "Cruising" for portraying the gay community as sado-masochistic bondage fiends; "The Last Temptation of Christ" for its depiction of Jesus Christ as having un-saviorlike human qualities; "Schindler's List" for being "Jewish propaganda" and "The Exorcist" for being...well, "The Exorcist." By the way, Mr. William (director of "The Exorcist") Friedkin, you owe me twenty years of sleep!</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>BLIND DOG OZZY: Ya! </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: What is unique about this incident is that it is not really a case of censorship at all. For example in the past, blatantly pornographic films such as "Deep Throat" and "Behind The Green Door" were pulled from theaters due to actions by the police, the courts and the FBI. Theater owners, directors and even actors were arrested for their participation. There was no such legal pressure for "The Interview." Sony pulled the movie voluntarily and made it seem as though it was a public safety issue. Now, New Regency has announced that a film set in North Korea starring popular actor, Steve Carell has been scrapped due to ... oh, I don't know, what do they call it?</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>BLIND DOG OZZY: Lack of balls!</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: The cyber-hack has been blamed on North Korea with other less-than-friendly countries being named as co-conspirators. It really doesn't matter. Whether the movie depicts two zany journalists being asked to assassinate the leader of North Korea in a comedy (the plot of "The Interview") or it depicts children being subjected to sadistic sexual torture and murder such as in the film, "Salo or the 120 days of Sodom" ( a 1975 film still banned in many countries to this day), a cowardly, anonymous threat issued on the Internet should not be able to shut down a lemonade stand, much less a multi-million dollar production by a major movie studio. You can foresee the dangerous precedent being set with this incident.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>BLIND DOG OZZY: We might long for the days when ratings boards, TV preachers and parent's groups would determine our entertainment. At least there was some thought behind it. Now, any geek in Starbucks with a laptop can determine what we see, read or hear.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: Dude! I need more info. My gut feeling is that there's more to the story than a cyber-hack by a foreign entity and a movie studio concerned about the safety of moviegoers. It all seems too convenient.</b><br />
<br />
<b>BLIND DOG OZZY: Like an attack by "terrorists" on the Pentagon and The World Trade Center that justifies a war in Iraq and Afghanistan.</b><br />

<br />
<b>BLIND DOG OZZY: BULLS**T!!! There's an old saying in American Journalism that says, "If ten people die in the U.S. it's news, if one hundred people die in Canada it's news -- but no one ever dies in Africa."</b><br />
<br />
<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: The implication is that the closer people are to Americans in language and culture, the closer they are to our hearts. No one cares about an African villager family who loses their only child. The truth is that a series of bureaucratic screw ups and misinformation allowed the Ebola virus to spread like a MF: People in African villages were told that Ebola was incurable so they did not seek treatment; cultural traditions required tribal shamans and family members to come in close contact with corpses; millions of dollars in medical aid could not reach its target because of red tape; medical experts could not obtain visas to travel to Africa and the World Health Organization (the United Nations' health agency) claimed it was hampered by budget cuts (?). </b><br />

<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: It's sheer dumb luck (or is it?) that the Ebola virus is not an airborne virus. Your have to get kind of up-close-and-personal with a brother or sister to get the Ebola virus.

<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: Smallpox was responsible for hundreds of millions of deaths in the last century until a vaccine was developed and through diligent and fearless work by healthcare workers, was declared completely eradicated by about 1980 -- or was it? As any history of the disease will tell you, the last samples of Smallpox were retained by the United States and the U.S.S.R. for "research" purposes. In 1986 the World Health Organization recommended that all remaining samples of the disease be destroyed thereby, eliminating Smallpox from Planet Earth forever. To this date, the United States and Russia still retain stocks of the Smallpox virus for no benevolent purpose since it would not be needed to fight any new outbreaks of the disease. Why keep it?</b><br />
<br />
<b>BLIND DOG OZZY: DUN DUN DUN!!! ( here's our conspiracy theory!)</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: The recent outbreak (!) of popular films featuring zombies is very suspicious. The films typically depict a bloody horde of demented, corpse-like things attacking normal people who are deathly afraid of being infected with the zombie virus. Reports from Third World countries say that people with severe viral infections will exhibit symptoms of delirium and will stumble around their villages in a diseased stupor that will make superstitious villagers think that they have come back from the dead. I'm also reminded of the first X-Files movie where the paranoid conspiracy theorist informs agent Mulder that the rulers of the world will reduce the population through a "plague to end all plagues." Conspiracy Insiders have informed us that Hollywood will often reveal things to the general population in gradual, sugary, entertaining amounts in order to buffer us from the shocking, eventual truth. It's already clear that governments across the world including our own, are ill-prepared to handle an epidemic that could have been contained by quick medical response and proper hygiene much less an airborne plague that could jump continents in a matter of days.</b><br />

<b>BD OZZY: Damn!</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: The ban is due to the fact that he made some extremely ignorant and racist remarks in an argument with his girlfriend where he berates her for associating with black folks such as basketball legend Magic Johnson and then "broadcasting" it to the world on social media. </b></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: Dude! There's no doubt that his remarks were shameful and worthy of condemnation by the NBA, but there are civil rights issues here that have nothing to do with race. He was punished for remarks he made in a private conversation which he probably never intended for anyone else to hear and expressed opinions which are unpopular but nevertheless, not illegal. I can't believe I just wrote that. The concept of an illegal opinion is something you would only think of when referring to totalitarian governments such as the former USSR, Communist China or science fiction novels such as Phillip K. Dick's 1956 book "The Minority Report" where people are arrested for crimes they are thinking about committing. In college, I remember talking with people who had escaped from fascist regimes in countries where their phone conversations were tapped and they were imprisoned for remarks they made critical of the government.

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: There's a great scene in the classic film "Glengarry GlenRoss" where Dave Moss, the character played by Ed Harris, walks into the office in a sh**ty mood and says, "The rich get richer, that's the law of the land!" Since his character is a total d**k, you think he's just being cynical but old cliches like that about wealth and money making come to mind when I consider a couple of articles I read recently. The first one was about an 11 year-old Illinois girl named Heather Stirling who makes cupcakes out of her home taking in about $80 bucks a week and putting the money away to buy a car when she's old enough. Of course, this type of human interest story was noticed by the local newspaper and they did an article showcasing her cupcakes and entrepreneurial spirit. The local health department also read her story and being the typical meddling government bureaucracy that they are, came and shut down her "business" and told her that she couldn't continue unless her parents built a separate bakery for her.</b><br />

<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>BD OZZY: Hey idiots! If her parents had that kind of money, she wouldn't need to be baking cupcakes for money in her mommy's kitchen!</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: That's the whole point brother! The little girl, who also runs a pet sitting business, is a perfect example of someone trying to pull themselves up by their boot straps ( to use another cliche). What do folks always tell down and out souls on the street when they ask for change? "Get a job! Make your own money!"</b><br />
<br />
<b>BD OZZY: But when someone comes up with an idea to make a little pocket change, <i>The Man</i> is always there to step on your neck and hold you down.</b><br />
<br />
<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: Amen! But that brings us to the other article I read which deals with a man named Patrick Combs who in 1995, received one of those spam emails from some get-rich-quick company with a phony check attached showing an example of how much money he could be making. The check, which was for $95,000., had his name on it but it also said right across the front, "Not Negotiable For Cash." Combs, who was trying to earn a living as a motivational speaker and was something of a joker, signed the check with a smiley face and deposited the check in his ATM. Combs expected the bank to call him, praise his sense of humor and laughingly tell him that the check was not real. To make a long story short, the next time he went to his ATM, he found his balance had gone up by $95,000. and a short time later, he was told he could start withdrawing the funds. He withdrew the money, put it all in a safe deposit box (never intending to keep it) and made his bank jump through hoops to get the money back since it was legally his to keep. The whole tale is told in his book "Man 1, Bank 0" as well as an often sold out one man show which he performs all over the world for a fee of $5,000. per night. Between royalties from his book, tips in his PayPal account from people who read the story on his website and his speaking engagements, he makes well over the $95,000. he could have kept due to his bank's screw up.</b><br />

<br />
<br />
<b>BD OZZY: I would have kept the money and then wrote a book and one man show about how I spent it!</b><br />
<br />
<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: So you see where I'm going here? Why does one person get shut down after making a few honest bucks and another has riches dumped in their lap not once but several times? What is the nature of wealth? Does it favor those with business savvy? There are a lot of folks with business degrees who are broke. Does it favor the righteous? There's a lot of poor good people. Perhaps it favors those with the most desire for it as Gordon Gekko says, "Greed is Good."</b><br />
<br />
<b>BD OZZY: I think it's sheer dumb luck!</b><br />
<br />
<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: There are certain people who have made it their life's work to study the habits of people who have consistent wealth and abundance in their lives. In his book, "Inner Vegas: Creating Miracles, Abundance and Health" Joseph Gallenberger, Ph. D., makes the assertion that wealth favors those who don't go through life with a sense of lack and who live in a constant state of gratitude and generosity.</b><br />
<br />
<b>BD OZZY: But how to balance this with the panic of having bills pile up and having people all around you with their hands out.</b><br />
<br />
<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: Dude! How very astute! Do the rich get richer as Dave Moss says? Or do certain people just attract wealth? One theory I read about recently, proposes that if all the wealth in the world was redistributed equally among every person, within a few years, the bulk of all the wealth would be in the same hands of the people who have it now. How does this happen? Comment if you have more to say about this subject or have an interesting story about the nature of wealth.</b><br />

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: Everybody is weighing in on the recent George Zimmerman trial/not guilty verdict and the streets are ablaze with young protestors venting their anger in all the wrong ways. I too, find it difficult if not impossible, to believe that a loser, wannabe cop who liked to play with guns could stalk and pick a fight with an unarmed teenage boy, get b**ch slapped</b> <b>and then shoot him dead and not suffer any legal penalty.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>BD OZZY: Wha..? I wish I could see any authority figure, no matter how trivial, get busted just once for crossing the line -- it almost never happens.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: But I want to take a different look at this travesty of justice. Who are these people who have police scanners in their homes, carry guns and call 911 because your kids are playing Frisbee in the street? They attend neighborhood watch meetings and if they are given a t-shirt or a baseball cap indicating their involvement, they wear it like a badge issued by the federal govenment then show up on your porch with a gun to tell you your carport is not up to municipal code.</b><br />
<br />
<b>BD OZZY: There's real s**t out there. Besides all the usual stuff, there's organized crime from war-torn countries, moving here, strutting down American streets trying to intimidate American citizens and engaging in fraud, larceny, arson, drugs, prostitution, illegal gambling, arms and human trafficking. According to the U.S. National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, close to one million children are reported missing every year. Then there's the victims of natural disasters who lose their homes and and all necessities and would appreciate a strong hand offering a blanket, a can of soup or bottle of water in an emergency. Where's the George Zimmermans of the world then? Where's the heroes -- the tough guys?</b><br />

<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: Amen, brother! It ain't like the comic books, where you tie a blanket around your neck and wear your drawers on the outside and think you can be badass. All these young men in America need to get away from the video games in their grandma's basement and learn how to contribute something in their community -- and you don't need a gun to do it. We started a free child and adult fitness program in our neighborhood with no money, no resources and no help because we cared -- "Ain't that tough enough?" <span style="font-size: x-small;">(From the song,"Tough Enough" by the Fabulous Thunderbirds</span></b>). <b><span style="font-size: small;">But wh</span>at I really don't want to see is Zimmerman being rewarded by our celebrity-ruled society where</b> <b>anyone can succeed in life just by being a d**k</b>. <b>Things I better not see Zimmerman do in the coming months:</b></div>

<li><b>Appear on Letterman, coming onstage and pointing his fingers at the audience in mock six-gun fashion and going "Pow ! Pow!" (Sample conversation -- Letterman: "Hey, George! Shoot anybody lately?" Zimmerman: "C'mon Dave, I'd rather talk about my new book and speaking tour."</b></li>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: OK, I was waiting for this whole Christopher Dorner episode to be over before I made any comment about it.</b> <b>When Dorner made his last stand in a mountain cabin this month, the mainstream media portrayed him as a disgruntled nutcase who couldn't handle being unjustly fired from the LAPD.</b> <b>There's no doubt he went off the deep end and got his revenge the wrong way</b> <b>and killed</b> <b>some innocent people. A few years from now, I would have loved to see Cuba Gooding, Jr. portray him in an Oscar-winning movie where he goes into court with a sharp, wisecracking legal team and forces the the Chief of Police to resign with irrefutable evidence and heartfelt testimony.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>BD OZZY: Instead, you're going to see him portrayed in a low-budget flick by a bug-eyed Samuel L. Jackson using a lot of cuss words and blowing s**t up!</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: And it's a shame, because in the online rant that the media is now referring to as his <i>manifesto,</i> he makes many well-thought points about misconduct and abuses in the LAPD. This is more significant than most people think. Years ago, hardened criminals started making some disturbing claims against the police, alleging indiscriminate ass-kickings and corruption. Many didn't take their allegations seriously though because they were, well, criminals who lacked credibility due to their backgrounds. Then organizations like the American Civil Liberties Union started filing lawsuits on behalf of people who were alleging brutality and violation of civil rights. Now, you have an insider making the same kind of allegations and going into great detail that only a witness would know. Dorner is the equivalent of a corporate whistleblower who unfortunately for him and for us, did not have the patience to tell his story to a Woodward and Bernstein who could have told his story and blown the cover off all this corruption.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>BD OZZY: Judging by all his online followers, some people consider him something of a hero although when it comes right down to it, he'll never really be remembered that way.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: No brother, a real hero wouldn't have killed people at random, he would have gone after the jobs of people right at the top starting with the Chief and then the Mayor.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>BD OZZY: So how does his biopic end?</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: I'm reminded of that scene in the movie, "Billy Jack" where he runs the crooked cops off of Indian land with a mean looking rifle and says, "when police break the law, then there is no law."</b><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: The recent fake girlfriend scandal involving Notre Dame football star Manti Te'o has seemed to have caught the popular imagination.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>BD OZZY: Mostly because it's a perfect example of <i>catfishing, </i>a term inspired by the 2010 film "Catfish" which documents a young man being hoodwinked by a bored, frumpy homemaker who misrepresents herself online.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: Like a blind Chihuahua who talks and writes a blog.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>BD OZZY: Bite me!</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: So many questions remained unanswered in this incident such as who exactly, was involved, why didn't Te'o come clean earlier and did this incident propel Te'o to be a runner up for the Heisman Trophy.</b><br />
<br />
<b>BD OZZY: But the biggest question of all is how the hell do you fall in love and consider someone your girlfriend when you've never met them in person?</b><br />
<br />
<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: I don't even take on a car insurance dude unless I meet them in person. I think that technology, especially social networking, is creating a serious disconnect between humans which any anthropologist will tell you, are social beings that thrive on close personal contact.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>BD OZZY: We were warned of this back in the 70's by Alvin Toffler in his book "Future Shock" which predicted that technology would advance so quickly that it would cause us psychological as well as physiological harm because of our inability to keep up with it. He called this <i>information overload.</i></b><br />
<br />
<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: Dude! That's right. Think about it. people use an ATM instead of asking a teller for money, they swipe their credit or debit card at the gas station instead of asking the attendant for gas, ( some folks don't even remember gas stations that had attendants) they do their shopping on their computer and have everything delivered to their door instead of going to an actual store, they let their GPS drive their car and they carry on conversations with their smart phones. It's no wonder people of Teo's generation think they can have an online soul mate. </b><br />
<br />
<b>BD OZZY: It also seems people are looking outside of themselves for happiness instead of within.</b><br />
<br />
<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: Brother, you been reading my "Zen for Dummies" book again. The real trip about people in these situations is when they find out who they really been talkin' to online. Young girls with a crush find out they've been talking to some old pervert, housewives find out they've been the victim of some geeky computer nerd living in their grandma's basement and lonely guys looking for love find out they been talking to some guy altering their voice on the phone.</b><br />
<br />
<b>BD OZZY: (singing) "...looking for love in all the wrong places..."</b><br />
<br />
<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: I hate that song. But that reminds me, if there's any fine mamas out there looking for a date, down below is an updated photo of me an' Ozzy.</b><br />

<b>BLIND DOG OZZY: NEUROTIC CHIHUAHUA </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: The 2012 Presidential Election has come and gone and Barack Obama remains President of The United States of America for another term. It all seems like such a big show for nothing; or maybe just to make Americans feel important for another four years. Personally, I don't believe that American voters actually get to elect the person with the most powerful office on the planet.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>BD OZZY: The Presidential Election is always fertile ground for conspiracy theories. Some say the office of President is determined by the Bilderberg Group or The Freemasons or The Jesuits or even a network of satanic cults!</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: And you only got to go back several years to the 2000 Presidential Election to know that something ain't quite right with Presidential elections. George W Bush was <i>"awarded"</i> the office of President even though he did not win the popular vote and there was a discrepancy with the vote count in the state of Florida.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>BD OZZY: I should run for President!</b><br />
<br />
<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: That brings up a good point. The democratic voting process in this country was designed so that anyone who met the qualifications could be elected to the office of President whether it was the local school teacher or the guy who ran the corner store or any trusted person in the community.</b><br />
<br />
<b>BD OZZY: Now people go to a university, study political science and when they graduate, they make a career out of politics. And now we have a two party political system where any candidate from an alternate political party runs only symbolically or as a novelty (in 1968 a pig named Pigasus was endorsed by the Yippie movement).</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: When Barack Obama was elected in 2008, he made history by being the first black man to be elected as President. If Mitt Romney had been elected this year, he would have made history as the first Mormon to be elected President. I'll Tell you what should make history -- if someone other than a Democrat or Republican were to get elected President.</b><br />
<br />
<b>BD OZZY: Tun Tun Tun! </b><br />
<br />
<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: Suffice it to say that the office of President of the United </b><br />
<b>States of America is determined by extremely wealthy, powerful people for whom the President is merely a figurehead. They would never allow the President to be elected by a public that can have its vote so easily swayed by tabloid newspapers, "reality" </b><br />
<b>TV shows or internet ramblings like the one you're reading now.</b><br />
<br />
<b>BD OZZY: And we haven't even got to the subject of the manipulation of electronic voting machines yet.</b><br />
<br />
<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: That's a whole 'nother article!</b><br />
<br />
<b>BD OZZY: Oh, S**t! check out my beautiful American Flag photo -- I took it!</b><br />
<br />
<b>"BLUE" JIMMY: Sake's Alive!</b><br />

<b>BD OZZY: Wow! Wow! </b><br />

<span style="font-weight: bold;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-weight: bold;">"BLUE"JIMMY: This week, many people commemorated the 911 attacks which seem to have changed our country in ways I had never imagined in my lifetime.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-weight: bold;">BD OZZY: The attacks on the Twin Towers and The Pentagon have been used to justify everything from starting two wars in remote parts of the world to having ham-fisted strangers putting their hands down your children's pants at airports.</span><br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-weight: bold;">"BLUE" JIMMY: Conspiracy theories have flown fast and furious and without attaching myself to any one of those, I can smell a rat as well as anyone.</span><br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-weight: bold;">BD OZZY: More disturbing than the loss of lives and destruction that occurred on that fateful day, is the enactment of the USA PATRIOT Act in 2001 which has tentacles that reach deep and deadly into our way of life as Americans.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">"BLUE" JIMMY: Dude! Passed without much fanfare by George W Bush in October 2001, The Patriot Act allows our government to bypass every civil liberty our ancestors have bravely fought for throughout our history and turn any citizen into a possible terrorist. Before you go thinking that this act was written just to punish wild-eyed, foreign religious fanatics with homemade bombs strapped to their bodies, look it up for yourself and see the actual provisions of this act. An American citizen can be <i>suspected </i>not <i>convicted</i> of terrorist activity and the government will have the right to detain that person without a <i>writ of habeas corpus</i> and imprison them indefitely without the right to an attorney, without the right to a speedy trial by a jury of their peers and without the right to face their accuser in court. What this means is that you or I can disappear for <i>suspected </i>terrorist activity, be put away in an undisclosed location and your family will be told that your whereabouts are none of their business and your imprisonment is a matter of national security.</span><br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-weight: bold;">BD OZZY: Is this The United States of America?</span><br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-weight: bold;">"BLUE" JIMMY It's been more than a decade since the 911 attacks and no part of the Patriot Act has been repealed or mitigated in any way. You have to ask yourself, who has taken away more of your freedoms as an American citizen -- crazed terrorists or your own government?</span><br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-weight: bold;">BD OZZY: !!!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">"BLUE" JIMMY: I hate to be a prophet of doom so I have to say that if Americans are Americans, they will realize that the civil liberties that they have fought long and hard for in the courtrooms and the battlefield are in jeopardy and there will soon be a backlash against this slow, sneaky, formation of a Police State.</span><br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;"><br />

FREEDOM OF THE PRESS/SPEECH TAKES IT ON THE CHIN<div style="text-align: center;"><b>"BLUE" JIMMY:</b> <b>FREE SPEECH CR<span id="goog_473722364"></span><span id="goog_473722365"></span>USADER</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
<b>BLIND DOG OZZY: NEUROTIC CHIHUAHUA</b><br />
<b><br />
</b> <b>"BLUE" JIMMY: Two incidents in the news this week should convince us all that we got a long way to go in the fight for freedom of the press/speech. First, Julian Assange, jounalism's whipping boy, who has been holed up in the Ecuadoran Embassy in England since June of this year, is being persecuted by the country of Sweden for alleged sexual assault and the United States for possible treason. Some US politicians have openly called for his assassination while others abroad have called for him to be nominated for a Nobel Prize. The United States has said that it does not recognize the concept of <i>diplomatic asylum </i>that is being offered by Ecuador to the WikiLeaks editor-in-chief who has famously given an outlet to whistle blowers all around the world.</b><br />
<b><br />
</b> <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5A2yB0vwRIMJMlSQj6qmlKifAQZyGBq4AIS1DmqXgfXADufO6tpK-sTdzWanyBZXm5BM6of6Ic8xI7dNlnsxYG84U_mAmDQzuv5RvVGF9gl3g33TXj-PCwajEnFnOSHh8pPfMTgfSCabF/s1600/skull+of+wisdom.bmp" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5A2yB0vwRIMJMlSQj6qmlKifAQZyGBq4AIS1DmqXgfXADufO6tpK-sTdzWanyBZXm5BM6of6Ic8xI7dNlnsxYG84U_mAmDQzuv5RvVGF9gl3g33TXj-PCwajEnFnOSHh8pPfMTgfSCabF/s320/skull+of+wisdom.bmp" width="320" /></a></div><b>BD OZZY: The interesting thing to note here is that it is the lowly country of Ecuador that is offering asylum. Ecuador; a country that has only been a democracy since 1979 and has had its own struggles with civil rights in recent decades. Where are the heavy-hitters? None of the big democracies have stepped forward in outrage. Obviously, they're afraid to offend and strain diplomatic ties with The United States.</b><br />
<b><br />
</b> <b>"BLUE" JIMMY: Like Sweden, which is always ranked above The United States in civil liberties; they had dropped the case against Assange only to pick it up again and pursue it more aggressively, probably to try and turn Assange over to The United States. Due to the international nature of the internet, another citizen's free press/speech problem is also our problem. Whatever happens to Assange, he's being abandoned by most of the so-called Free World. </b><br />
<b><br />
</b> <b>BD OZZY: Speaking of freedom, a Russian court has denied freedom to the girl punk band Pussy Riot and sentenced three members to two years in prison for performing a protest song in a church. The only reason I bring this up is because I just like to say their name -- Pussy Riot! Pussy Riot!</b><br />
<b><br />
</b> <b>"BLUE" JIMMY: Their protest was to condemn the close ties between President Vladimir Putin and the Russian Orthodox Church. Their harsh sentence is seen as a move by Putin to suppress any opposition to him. What's ironic about this is that when Julian Assange was detained by the British authorities, then Prime Minister Putin spoke out and called it "undemocratic."</b><br />
<br />
<b>BD OZZY: What is the old saying? "Sh**tting in the yard is fine as long as it's someone else's yard."</b><br />
<b><br />
</b> <b>"BLUE"JIMMY: That's not an old saying.</b><br />
<b><br />
</b> <b>BD OZZY: I think it is.</b><br />
<b><br />
</b> <b>"BLUE" JIMMY: No it isn't. But from a sheer musical standpoint, Pussy Riot's protest should go down in history as the ultimate act of pure Rock 'N' Roll guerrilla warfare. Other, more popular politically conscious groups like Bob Dylan, U2, The Clash and even skinhead bands have never matched this declaration of "Up Yours!" </b><br />
<b><br />
</b> <b>BD OZZY: I guess it took a woman's touch!</b><br />
