Aloha! CCP MISSILE CRISIS Who remembers the Cuban Missile Crisis in the 1960s? THIS IS A DIRECT THREAT TO AUSTRALIA! Now we have the CCP threat to Australia! I liked it better when Japan was the biggest Asian manufacturer! This is the CCP talking on their state owned media … “The plan should include long-range strikes on the military facilities and relevant key facilities on Australian soil if it really sends its troops to China’s offshore areas and combats against the PLA (People’s Liberation Army).” Mr Hu said it was important to send a strong message “to deter the extreme… Read more »
Aloha! WHY GUN BUYERS ARE BUYING If you do not know why we have a 2nd Amendment then get in your car and try to drive down to Acapulco, Mexico from any US border town! This link below is what things look like when your government cannot or does not want to protect life and property! Its all out chaos and whoever has the most guns and ammo wins! Mexico is a country in decline and should be an example of what not to do!

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY ! !
I lost my Mother last year and this Mother’s Day is so much more poignant!
No Father, he passed in 2006 and now no Mother … that’s called an “orphan”! I never really thought of it like that, but I feel it!
All the best and if your Mother is still alive go crazy on her while you can! Give her so much love!
Aloha!
FELICE CINCO DE MAYO
It was a battle from 1808 to 1820 where Mexico won its independence from Spain. The King and Queen of Spain in the 16th century sent Conquistadors to exploit the Americas and exploit they did! When they ran out of native slaves they started importing them from West Africa! Who else worked the gold and silver mines and the tobacco farms and sugar and coffee empires? Call that the 1519 Project!
But Mexico is sort of free now!
An independent oversight board ruled that Facebook can continue to ban Donald Trump. In other words, if the GOP wants to believe the ridiculous notion that Trump won the election, then journalistic standards will prevail in social media. If the GOP removes Liz Cheney as leader and boos the speech of Mitt Romney because they say this is still the Party of Trump, what are they to do when Trump gets criminally prosecuted for the real crimes he committed? I have a theory that the GOP mouthpieces really don’t care about Trump but they are using him to stay or… Read more »
Republicans blasted the decision as “disgraceful.”
Well, denying the Holocaust is also illegal.
No American is above the law.
Yes they are! Almost all of Washington DC, bankers, Silicon Valley CEOs, the CIA and FBI have all been above the law for decades!
Money Heist is the best TV ever I have written this past year of the lockdown about so much great TV. Today I want to introduce you to my favorite. The four-part series I am now watching is called Money Heist, which I believe is the BEST show I have ever watched. Off the top I will say that: I am midway through part 3 of 4. Pat will not watch it because she says it just does not interest her I thought the first episode of part 1 was good but not great. In fact, there were so many… Read more »

Aloha! HOUSTON STASH HOUSE 2014 To illustrate how long the border crisis has been going watch this video from Houston News TV KPRC in 2014. There were 115 illegals held in a 204sq mtr house what is known as a stash house the cartels use. LINK: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AYtedLF8NEI CARTEL BUSINESS MODEL It all depends on the border being as open as possible! Cartels believe building a wall is racist! Hmmm … You pay the cartel $15,000 to get your relative in Guatemala to Colorado. They put your relative in a stash house in Houston and contact you asking for $15,000 more… Read more »

Aloha! ITS EMBARRASSING TO LIKE HOLLYWOOD I grew up on the set of Lassie in the 1960s at Desilu and on location! Even with Walt Disney! Our cousin was Jack Wrather and Bonita Granville. Two high powered Hollywood TV people then. If you google Bonita Granville you’d see she was a big time movie star in her teenage years. If you google Jack Wrather you’d see he was a big time oil man who bought half of Hollywood and Disney with his company The Wrather Corp! Of course I am still an owner at PowerMedia and we still have our… Read more »
This must be where I’m supposed to arrive on the scene and say that kaimu’s politically incorrect comments are his own and not ours. But, frankly, at the very moment in the Oscar show’s early few minutes when the stage went all political, which I had been sensing would be the case just from watching the Red Carpet, I remarked to Pat something like “This is going to be hard to take for tens of millions and I wonder if they will turn it off”. An hour later, I remarked to Pat, “Where are the white male actors? Did they… Read more »
Aloha! ASIAN HATE CRIMES UP 833% IN NYC FROM 2019 TO 2020 Chuck Schumer of NY and Deblasio and Cuomo all can be proud of their 833% increase in Asian hate crimes in NY. I guess they all need another Emmy! Asian hate crime in the USA is up 149%. Total Asians? 73! What a huge crisis! That is only 73 persons out of 340mil! All the hate is in Democrat run cities! No surprise! Meanwhile overall hate crimes in the USA is down 7%! To put that in perspective 209 black people were shot by other black people this… Read more »
Aloha! TOP 50 MOST VIOLENT HOMICIDAL CITIES IN THE WORLD 18 are in Mexico but 5 are Democrat cities in the USA. St Louis is ranked more violent than Caracas, Venezuela at #7! Mexico is the World Epicenter of Homicidal Violence for 2021-2021! Biden opened the US borders in an effort to make the USA the leader instead of Mexico! I am confident he will win the title! So long as the Democrats have defund the police as their top agenda they’ll steal the most violent country award in 2022! Who knew that title was so prestigious? http://www.borderlandbeat.com/2021/04/mexico-2020-2021-worlds-epicenter-of.html The list… Read more »
kaimu,
I can never understand why you call America’s cities Democrat cities. Did the people move there or work there because they were Democrat voters?
I think that cities by and large offer social support systems more so than rural areas because they are capable of doing that.
This is not rocket science. The same social phenomenon has occurred in Canada, and I am pretty sure in most of the world.
And your “defunding the police” is a misnomer. All political parties are concerned about policing practices and desire a greater need for oversight. We still need the police.
Aloha Bill,
No clearly they are Democrat ruled because the majority office holders elected or not are Democrat. In California that includes Silicon Valley. I used to work in Silicon Valley in the 1990s so it was like that then too except for one important difference. Most of the Silicon Valley companies in the 1990s wanted nothing to do with Washington DC. Now it seems Silicon Valley and Washington DC are one in the same.
Aloha!
I USED TO SURF HERE
Yep, Ensenada at Sal Se Puede and Hussongs!
If you don’t like law enforcement go live in Mexico and join the cartel! To me the cartels could easily convert antifa to their agenda with very little money!
LINK: http://www.borderlandbeat.com/2021/04/officers-attached-by-hitmen-in-ensenada.html
What is most interesting here is how the cartel wants to take over the port! I wonder why?
You keep mentioning Antifa, but why never Proud Boys?
Aloha! Bill did you watch the video in my link? Who do those three black hooded attackers look like and act like? Why do you think antifa is innocent? Antifa was burning down the Portland US Federal Bldg for 100 days of riots last year. LINK: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9459183/Antifa-protesters-set-fire-ICE-building-Portland.html This is a photo of the Portland Federal Building during the 100 day riots. https://tinyurl.com/2yeupvud See the photo in the above link? See the top that says CASCADIA NOW with the sign of anarchy that antifa uses? The circle with the “A” in it stands for anarchy! I didn’t see “proud boys” spray… Read more »
Sorry kaimu, I don’t have the time or interest, and I have no opinions whatsoever about Antifa, but I do know extreme bias when I see it. So, please tell us exactly what you think of the Proud Boys? Are you going to tell us they are “nice people”?
Aloha Bill!
There are a lot of groups including BLM that have had violence and Proud Boys are one. You can read about them on this BBC deal. They started in Canada in 2016. They have black guy leader!

Jay Martin interviews Rick Rule of Rule Investment Media Free of his role as CEO of Sprott USA Holdings ($18 Billion, much of it in precious metals), Rick Rule commits to being more forthcoming in his investment commentary. I first met Rick in the San Francisco Gold Show 40 years ago and have followed his remarkable career since. He’s a well-spoken individual who makes good decisions and uses his experiences to teach others. I knew this interview was coming and that he has high regard for the Nolan Watson team at Sandstorm Gold. I bought a starter position in SAND… Read more »

RULING KING BIDEN
Look at the transparency here at the White House own Youtube channel!
The link below shows the WH press briefing from yesterday 4/21! They have turned off any comments and it was only two weeks ago I could comment on there. Now the only way US citizens have to express their views is with either a up thumb or a down thumb kind of like the old Roman Empire days at Colosseum!

Look how bad this is for Biden … the most popular President ever elected even more popular than Obama!
Aloha! BORDERLAND BEAT CONNECTS Today on Borderland Beat the cartel kidnapped and murdered a social justice warrior activist in Tijuana and dumped her body in a landfill! You know how close Tijuana is to San Diego? A one hour bus ride! The cartel is now upping its tech and using drones with centex to take out their enemies. Fly that right into the mayor of Tijuana’s home! Question is where do they get centex? In comes Venezuela and China and Russia! The cartels are partnering with communist regimes who would love nothing better than to see a dirty bomb go… Read more »

Amazing would your kid traffic for $3000 for one ride? Makes you wonder how much the cartels are making if they pay $3000! Believe me the cartels don’t lose money!

MEDIA RETRIBUTION
Oh, Dear God!
If the cartels do not like what the media says about them they just take your daughter or sue your company into bankruptcy! When the cartels partner with government they do not like to see their corruption known to the world. This reporter is paying the price for doing his job. A whole new “cancel culture” mentality in Mexico where they “cancel the cancel”!

Diaz-Canel “elected” leader of the Cuban Communist Party 🙂
After a few words, I had to stop reading this bull crap.
The fact that Raul Castro was wearing his military uniform says it all.
Another article by Marc Frank for Financial Times calling for “continuity” is just more of the nonsense that some idiots are pushing.
Castro’s family still controls the military and all the important commercial and industrial enterprises in the country. His family is the power and nice guy Diaz-Canel is merely a puppet.
Nothing changes until Castro, family and friends exit Cuba.
Aloha! VACCINE LIMBO I am in a quandary about the vaccine and I wonder if other people here are in the same boat as I am! I just got my annual physical. My doctor and I talked about my specific issues with the vaccines now being used. He told me I should go research and figure out if a vaccine was my best course of action and if so which one would be best for my specific tolerance. Sounds like a cop-out but in truth he admitted with the data out there and my specifics he had no clue if… Read more »
Aloha Kaimu
I have similar asthma history and still take Symbicort during seasons when I have trouble. I am 66. I got the Pfizer jab – second shot on 4/5. Felt like crap the day after (not uncommon) but no problems since then.
Good luck in your decision!
Aloha Greg! Yep, asthma treatments have improved from the days when I used to have give myself glass hypodermic needle shots in the junior high bathrooms! Kids thought I was shooting up smack! I had to go to the principles office once. If I had long hair and played guitar they probably wouldn’t have noticed! lol! I am not the least convinced yet that the coast is clear for me so I am still in limbo. I have a call in to a virologist in Dallas to continue my research. If anyone has any actual clinical research along these lines… Read more »
I just had the first Pfizer-BioNtech shot this morning. So far as I know, it hasn’t cleared up my arthritis. Seriously, the doctors in Canada are (i) not subject to political pressures like in the US, and (ii) are overwhelmingly in support of vaccination. What does the AMA say? I have a long history of immune system problems (sarcoidosis that led to fibrosis of the lungs), celiac, and Rheumatoid Arthritis (still taking Prednisone although down to a tiny 1 mg/day and very soon st get off it). But my Rheumatologist and GP both wanted me to get the vaccine. People… Read more »
Aloha Bill, Yes politics has corrupted much of America!
Recently Bill Maher, a staunch lefty tv host, declared I WANT POLITICS OUT OF MY SCIENCE!
Okay … now I have a plan. I will tell my doctor I am waiting to see if Bill Cara keels over or not on his second shot!
I appreciate the advice as immune response seems to be key.
I looked at the Pfizer/BioNtech CDC symptoms and it definitely looks like the second shot had increased symptoms over the first one! Scroll to the 55+ section.

Aloha! WE HONOR THUGS Twitter still has the Iran “Death To America” Ayatollah on their platform! Biden insists on honoring Iran by signing another worthless Iran Nuke Deal even after Iran broke the one with Obama three times and violated UN restrictions on top of that! Nobody even wants to mention any Biden CCP connections so I understand why he’d want to focus on Russia! You don’t even need to be in the CIA to see that Russia, Iran, CCP and North Korea are aligned against the US and the EU! Isn’t it still valid that actions speak louder than… Read more »
Tighter lockdown in Ontario The province has invoked emergency laws that carry penalties of $750 per infraction up to $100,000 and a year in jail. So, the Premier says to stay at home or else. Police now can stop vehicles or pedestrians to check their ID and get a reason outside of work requirements or grocery and pharmacy shopping and medical appointments. Schools, restaurants and bars, and most businesses are now closed. Even public parks and playgrounds. Visiting family or friends is forbidden. Weddings, funerals, and religious services are ok — for 10 or fewer attendees. The borders with Quebec,… Read more »
The government has backed down a bit by re-opening playgrounds and enabling the police to not do random stops of vehicles and pedestrians.
Cuba news re Raul Castro CNN is reporting: Raul Castro is preparing to step down as head of Cuba’s all-powerful communist party, ending decades of his family’s leadership in the country. Cubans expect to witness this historic changing of the guard at the 8th Congress for the Cuban Communist Party, which starts today. Castro is expected to hand his duties over to Miguel Diaz-Canel, his handpicked successor when Castro stepped down as president in 2018. Castro has remained the party’s first secretary, overseeing long-term planning. This is a key diplomatic juncture for the US. Relations with the communist-run island improved in… Read more »
Mark Turner may have emotional issues, but his cynicism should not be ignored This now Peru-based mining analyst wrote the following in his blog today: Correlation in junior mining management90% of junior mining companies fail.90% of junior mining companies are run by fat, balding, overweight, white males.Not a coincidence. He usually calls them worse and they of course reciprocate. More importantly, for weeks now he has opined that the national election in Peru will oust the former leader and bring “Pedro Castillo, an out-and-out unalloyed Communist” to power, which will pose a clear and present danger to mining companies that… Read more »
A highly recommended Netflix serial drama
I am really proud that my friend Robert Friedland has used his Ivanhoe group to produce international film award winning productions. One is Crazy Rich Asians.
… and the other, which is why I am writing tonight, is Delhi Crime
We have all watched a lot of TV in the past year, and I have given you the favorites of Pat and me. But let me say that the absolute MUST SEE drama is Delhi Crime.
Thank you Robert!
Aloha! ABOLISH THE POLICE Where AOC lives only! There is no need for AOC and Congress or the Mayor of Milwaukee to do a “defund the police” study! Mexico has practiced “defund the police” for decades now! The cartels agree with AOC to abolish the police! Here is the result! https://tinyurl.com/bsp4dzvc Maybe AOC does a ride along with the Sinaloa Cartel! The one thing all these black police shootings have in common is the person getting shot has an arrest record a mile long or a warrant. They are not law abiding citizens! CLUE #1:Police only arrest suspected criminals. When… Read more »
