WILL SOMEONE PLEASE KICK BUSH IN THE FUCKING HEAD





Jesus Christ, while Gonzalez is lyin his ass off and his buddies are invoking the fucking fifth amendment, here's what CNN, MSNBC and all the other mother fucking mainstream media failed to report today:

FUCK BUSH

IMPEACH NOW, NOT FUCKING TOMORROW, NOW.

MOTHER FUCKER!!!!

CALIFORNIA DREAMIN




Hope you all had a nice weekend. This is just going to be a fluffy blog, a bit about California. I know, the heat is on Gonzalez and our country is falling apart at the seams, we'll deal with that later.

We moved out of California because of the crowds, the traffic, the bad air. I was a San Diego native, Mike was from Chicago. Infact, prior to living in Mexico, we had bought & lived in a locale for over 10 years way out in what was then the boondocks, Ramona. We lived outside the water district, so we had our own well, a few acres,gorgeous oak trees, and practically abuted the Cleveland National Forest. We fought for the remaining open space in San Diego County, against proposed reservoirs and dumps, really worked our butts off to keep it OPEN. When Mobil Oil bought up the old Jimmy Cagney Ranch behind us to build 2,000 homes, we knew we were doomed. Not the lfestyle we wanted, so we sold out and moved to Punta Banda, which was, at that time,a beautiful place.

I think the worse thing about California was the sprawl, every special place that I knew of, had been ruined. And, you know what, it wasn't just the Californians who were multiplying like rabbitts, it was the invasion of tourists from every part of the US who decided they wanted to stay.

Now, the same dilema is hitting Baja. Infact, we were just talking about that this weekend. What is the draw anymore to Baja? I mean, you can buy a gorgeous home
down below Puerto Nuevo in a gated community for $250,000 - but look around you. You are surrounded by shit. Crime, traffic, congestion, off road vehicles, dirty streets,garbage strewn over the old highway on both sides, poverty, no infrastructure, the hills are clusterfucked with housing and the eijdo is saturated with meth. I guess if you want to stay in your house all the time, it's okay. So, when Mike reties, we're outa here.

We've given thought to hanging in there, and spending half the year down in Mulege, half up here, like the oldtimers used to do. We've given thought to the Carolina's, and I would never move back to California, unless maybe it would be the Santa Cruz area. So, we're looking at New Zealand.

Meanwhile, alot of Californians are scampering for a better quality lifestyle, but not exactly being met with open arms. Just a little reminder to the millions in the communities of Arizona, Oregon, Washington to name a few: we put up with your crap for years. It wasn't the Californians who made the market prices swing so high, it was the influx of out of staters who didn't want to deal with snow and cold, whose mommies and daddies opened up their pocketbooks and either paid their downpayments or bought their homes out right for them, plus snapped up thousands of lower priced homes to turn a profit. Most of you were and are Republicans, with money. You hired illegals under the table to clean your swanky homes and care for your children, and when you created business, you hired more of them because you are greedy sob's. You voted against cleaner air and water initiatives, bonds for schools, raises for our Police and Fire Departments. You ignored the plight of our less fortunate in areas like Barrio Logan, and looked the other way while they dredged the San Diego Bay. Oh, you wanted it all, but you didn't want to didn't want to share a dime with the communities. And, you loved sneaky Pete Wilson and Ronald Reagan. Millions of them !! It was an INVASION of dullards and cretans. Well, it's yours now, fucked up thanks to you.

E-MAIL FROM DEMOCRATS.COM RE THE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE





Here is an e-mail from Democrats.com with a link for ya'll to get involved:

BUSH TO CONGRESS: DROP DEAD

" After weeks of administration lies about the "Pearl Harbor Day Massacre" of eight U.S. Attorneys, the Senate and House Judiciary Committees are preparing to subpoena Alberto Gonzales, Harriet Miers, and Karl Rove.

But George Bush went on TV to declare he will "oppose any attempts to subpoena White Houe officials." Why? Obviously because Bush, Gonzales, Miers, and Rove conspired to fire U.S. attorneys who were prosecuting Republican corruption. That's obstruction of justice - grounds not only for impeachment but also prosecution.

Bush promised to fight any subpoenas in the courts if he has to. Of course we know the Republican-controlled Supreme Court will take Bush's side, just as it did in 2000 when it threw out 175,000 never-counted Florida votes to steal the Presidency for him.

Ultimately Congress has just one tool to force Bush and Cheney to respect the Constitution: Impeachment and Removal.

Over 74,000 of our supporters have urged their Representatives to Impeach Bush and Cheney. Help us reach 100,000:

WATCH HOW THE SAN DIEGO POLICE HANDLE A POTENTIALLY EXPLOSIVE SITUATION





Last weekend, as you know,on Saturday the 17th, there was a peace protest in downtown San Diego. There were at least - at least - a thousand people in attendance, even though The San Diego Union reported only 500. There were people of all ages; young, old, older, people with families and young children. There were people from all walks of life; professionals, students, white and blue collar workers, all concerned over the future of our country and the future of the world.

Now I certainly don't mean to scare anyone, afterall, we were all bounced around like ping-pong balls during the first few years of the illegal Iraq War. Remember? One day we would be in orange alert, then yellow, then red, then back to orange. A fear tactic used quite well by George Bush to keep all of us frazzled and jittery.

Yet, we know now that the world is a much unsafer place because of Bush's war policy.
We all know that our Ports are unsafe, cargo comes in all the time unchecked, our water supplies are unsafe, our power-grids are unsafe and our borders are unsecured. How safe do you think San Diego Bay is with those nuclear subs? It is a fact that the US Border Patrol has been allocated some monies and has created, under DHS, a new tunnel division whose mission is to seek & destroy cross border tunnels. But it is also a fact that these tunnels existed for years without notice. Who got in? What got in?

We are keenly aware that the jihad which Bush is attempting to create under the guise as winning hearts and minds, has affected thousands of "radicals", who would not think twice to blow you and themselves up, regardless if you are for the war, or against the war. Afterall, 100,000 Muslims have been killed, men, women and children. I think it is fair to say that these people are pissed off. Infact, I think that is an understatement.

Should we be paranoid? No, but we should be alert. What should we do if we see an unattended package, bag, backpack? According to the San Diego Police Department:

"Emergencies include crimes that are in progress or about to happen, and ones that have resulted in serious personal injury, property damage, or property loss. They also include situations in which the suspect may still be at the scene and some suspicious activities."

TEXT

And here is San Diego's website for City
Terrorism Preparedness:


TEXT


So, inotherwords, I guess an unattended package, backpack or bag, especially left in a crowd, would be considered to be "suspicious", right? And according to the guidelines, we should, as concerned citizens, report it, right?


Yet, watch how San Diego cops react to an unattended object at the March 17th protest rally:

Did I hear correctly, or did that cop say, "...what do you want me to do about it?"

Many thanks to Shawn Castle for this video:


TEXT


I would like to take this opportunity to remind the San Diego Police Department that we pay your salary, and that your motto, " To Protect And Serve" applies to all of the citizens of San Diego, whether they be pro or anti-Bush.

Final question, where was the San Diego Police Department when four men claiming to be US Marines interrupted and harrassed the demonstrators on their march?

CALDERON Y BUSH: "THE STORY REMAINS THE SAME"









You probably have read and heard it all day long, from this mornings live press conference, to Calderon getting tough on immigration issues to drug dealing, to the El Universal oped on weapons smuggling into Mexico from the USA (oops, the editor forgot all about the Russian black market...) to Bush promising that he would lend the Mexican people "social justice", the back slapping, the hugs, the smiles and winks, the tour through the ruins. Inotherwords, the typical bullshit of two outrageous political gangsters. How dumb do they think we are?

Here's something that CNN & the mainstream media did not cover today, perhaps because it just did not square with the images which Calderon and Bush tried desperately to project of themselves; just two honest dudes trying their darndest to do the people good and make things right:

TRUMP TOWERS BAJA NORTE




Here's the video on Trump Towers. One more thing I would like to say regarding Baja Real Estate: Mexico has consistantly been 10-20 years behind the economic swings of the USA. We all know what is happening in the States after the huge real estate boom of the past 10 years. Baja speculators and real estate agents (barf) are trying to cash in on the boom, especially the boom in California. What they just don't get, is that the boom banged, and is on a sharp decline going for bust. So, what's going to happen with all this new development down here, especially in the North? To put it lightly, where developers were hoping to make a huge profit after paying nothing for construction and labor costs, they aren't going to make nada.


TEXT

So, hold off on writing out that check, if you really want to live here; a house that's now selling for 250K, I predict, will drop in the next five years to about 85K. Not only that, you might need the doe rae mi for the outrageous increase in fuel and food. Jeez, Fancy Feast cat food is UP to .65 a can !!!

Meanwhile, Donald Trump and others have fucked the ejidos, the private landowners and the environment. They have also announced that the Baja Norte development has sold out. Come on, give me a break, now if that isn't an ages old sales gimmick, I don't know what is. But it must be true, local San Diego channel 10 reported it. Heehee, suckers.

Go ahead Don, sue me. It's all true.

Oh, BTW guys, you don't need no stinkin real estate agent down here, go through the Notario , just like the Mexicans do. It'll save ya about 6 %.

Sorry, the title should have read: BAJA SUR NEXT on the video.

Ok, I know I said goodnight, but thought I'd better add this since we are not going to be around manana. Just caught this on the internets. Heh, any of you remember the days before the toll road went in down here, and you would take the old road and it would shoot you out to San Miguel? Remember 3M's, the great lefts BEFORE they dumped all the boulders there? What a bitchen place, although in those years, the guys from Windansea gave it a reputation that was...well, reputable!

I first surfed San Miguel when I was 13 years old, now that was a looonnnggg time ago.

San Miguel is in trouble. And I say bravo to all of on both sides of the Border who are fighting this Marina, but don't wear your hearts on your sleeves. Deals are made in a heartbeat down here, remember what happened to Harry's? As we speak, the Mexican government has kindly stalled the construction on the LNG Terminal off the Coronado Islands. Why? Many think it is so that moneybags Trump can sell his Tower condominiums( CHUMP Towers) quickly and quietly, before the unknowing buyer gets a look at the real view to come. And, have you seen the monstrosity at Baja Malibu? Did you know yet another Marina is in the planning stages for the Punta Banda area? If I were you, I surely wouldn't invest in any property there, it is mostly private family leased, and the handwriting is on the wall. Why should the future generations keep taking chump change yearly leases when they can sell out for billions to investors? Anyway, you can't surf there, Arnaiz has been gated off with no access for years now.

Ah, adios San Miguel, many great memories, thanks.

A COUPLE REASONS WHY THEY HATE US IN SOUTH AMERICA























Over the weekend, the Wonkette reported that Henry Kissinger had thrown his support to McCain. Following the links, I could not find the AP article which was said to, through another site, have broke this story. If you can find it, let me know. What I did find however, were links to this story to places like the Drudge Report, which I simply cannot bring myself to post on my site since they are Fascists.

According to the Drudge Report, McCain said this about Henry Kissinger:

"When I have a question about something that's going on in the world, I call Dr. Kissinger, and he is able to connect the dots for me", McCain said. "It is easy to be an expert on one aspect of some international situaltion. He is one if the only people I've ever known who can connect the entire scenario for you in a way that you understand the completeness of the challenge."


Wow, Henry Kissinger, winner of the Nobel Peace Prize. Guess when they gave him that award they didn't take into account the 1969 bombing of Cambodia. And how about his role in Bangladesh? Can't forget the slaughter of the Timorese. How about his involvement in the overthrow of Allende? And Operation Condor, man he was kissing Pinochet's ass for sure. Who's the terrorist?
Who has been terrorizing South America for years?


And, today's headlines about FARC, including reference to Chavez:

TEXT


Historians say that the FARC revolutionaries go back all the way to 1948. However, strong impetus from US entanglements in South American affairs has been a solid boost to communist power grabs and dynasties, including Chavez, throughout the region.

I THINK BRAZIL'S GOV.SERGIO CABRAL HAS THE RIGHT IDEA




Are you tired of being held hostage by the criminal element of drug dealing? I am. How violent has your town or city become because of drug dealing? Are you frightened for the safety of your family?

Down here, you don't even talk about drugs and dealers, unless you want to end up dead in a ditch. Period. You just keep your eyes cast downward and walk quickly. You know what, I'm fed up with living like this.

The Governor of Brazil has stepped forward and wants to legalize drugs in an effort to cut crime, and I think he's right. Yet, today, Colombia - plagued and governed by right wing death squads has the audacity to ask for $700 MILLION annual payoff from the US taxpayers to continue in the lost Drug on Wars. And dumb fuck Bush will give it to him.

SHOULD WE BE WORRIED ??? NANCY CONROY'S EDITORIAL ON PUNTA COLONET



There are alot of people who do not like Nancy Conroy and her paper, the Gringo Gazette. But, what I've found is that these people,like the Baja Nomad group, have many individuals who have a vested interest in the Baja; rentals, restaurants, etc., and want to sell Baja as an American Playground. No news is good news, while they rake in the dough off the backs of the Mexicans through their website, and travel groups. Try logging into their site, on Off Topic, wow, what a bunch of Bush lovin neanderthals.

There has been criticism that Nancy doesn't live here, so WTF? And, there is criticism that Nancy doesn't have a real understanding of Mexico, from both the Mexican & American communities. But, Nancy always offers great information on state & local events, and even though she and the Gringo Gazette are no "ZETA", Nancy has been instrumental in exposing & a catalyst to cause change to many of the woes of the Northern Baja area, from the environment to local scams and I might add, has always been judicious in reporting travel alerts to the novice and unaware traveler. Infact, there was a period where her papers were mysteriously vanishing after reports on the local Red Cross,and other local problemas. Usually when Newspapers go missing around here, it is because someone out there doesn't want you to know something. She doesn't focus on the negative, but for a gringo paper, it is relatively realistic, and a good source of information which the average non-Spanish speaking American tourist can steadily rely on - something you won't find from romanticised travel brokers. And if you have an opportunity, look up her resume, she's a pretty smart cookie.

This week's paper focused on some super important issues, the unguarded LNG pipeline, forinstance. Moreover, it was Nancy's editorial that caught my eye, and maybe it will catch yours as well.

So, here's her editorial as it appeared in Mexidata, and a link to the Gringo Gazette. Thanks, Nancy.
