"Great Ameridcans" helping in Iraq

22 Mar 09

I just received this warm note from Marine Maj John Moore, deployed in Iraq. He is our current contact in Country:

"Mr Farnam,

WOW! We are receiving some outstanding and helpful tools of the trade. Your friends are more than generous. As I think I stated, we will return back to CONUS before the end of the year (obviously, I can't get any more specific than that). When my replacement arrives, I will provide his email and shipping addresses to all your "Great Americans."

Oh, that's what the Marines call you and your friends. As in, "Hey were did you get the flashlight?" "From the Great Americans!"

The Marines are so thankful. God Bless!

John Moore

US Marines"

Malicious Competence

22 May 08

The most deadly police scandal: "Malicious Competence"

In South Africa, the nation's must aggressive and successful policeunit, the vaunted Scorpions, has now been disbanded! The Scorpions were SA's version of our FBI. We've provided weapons training the Scorpions in Pretoria as recently as last year, and their record of success in uncovering official corruption and investigating other major crimes has been spectacular indeed!

The Scorpions were, in fact, created precisely to root out the official corruption for which SA is so well known. Unfortunately, they did a little too good a job! They prosecuted rampant corruption so successfully, that sleazy politicians who were, and are, personally affected, have lobbied heavily to get the Scorpions to go away. They've ultimately achieved their goal! South African citizens will no longer enjoy the protection our beloved Scorpionsso competently provided.

Closer to home, it appears LAPD's famous SWAT Unit has been shooting way too many of the violent criminals Leftist politicians count on for political support! The result?

Under heavy political pressure, the Chief has knuckled under to demands that standards for acceptance into the SWAT team be lowered, and that the Team itself get more involved in "negotiation" and "understanding" than in forceful, conclusive action. Funny, I thought the SWAT Team were the very ones you called in after "negotiations" failed!

As in SA, the safety of innocent citizens is positively the last thing any politician ever thinks about. "Staying in power" is, of course, the first!

Politicians ever claim to want police performing their sworn duty, but, in their presence, they want us to walk softly. They want the law "enforced" on everyone else (particularly their political opponents), but, when their own misdeeds are hastily, amateurishly covered up, as they always are, we're supposed to pretend we didn't see them and "go find something else to do."

The so-called pluralistic democracies/republics of the world, including ours, have foolishly allowed politicians to amass so much power, at the expense of our individual rights as citizens, that they have gradually forgotten who is working for whom! They no longer think of themselves as "public servants."

When facts are embarrassing, they covered them up. When abject failure is undeniable, they simply redefine "success." And, most disturbing, when they, themselves, are shown to be far from perfect, they simply redefine " perfection," and simultaneously demand that the sworn protectors of Truth, the police, violate our oath by joining their devoted team of blind enablers.

Heaven forbid, we would be guilty of "malicious competence!"

As we see, they are largely successful!
