BZ’s Berserk Bobcat Saloon, “The Aftermath,” Thursday, May 25th, 2017, featuring guest/author Jim Curtis

My thanks to the SHR Media Network™ for allowing me to broadcast in their studio and over their air twice weekly, Tuesdays and Thursdays, as well as appear on the Sack Heads Radio Show™ each Wednesday evening.

As an aside, because the ™ symbol so annoys my Favorite Troll™ I’ve decided to apply it elsewhere as you can see.

Our special guest on the show was veteran and author J.L. “Jim” Curtis from OldNFO.org, Jim’s author page on Amazon.com describes him this way:

JL Curtis was born in Louisiana in 1951 and was raised in the Ark-La-Tex area. He began his education with guns at age eight with a SAA and a Grandfather that had carried one for ‘work’. He began competitive shooting in the 1970s, an interest he still pursues time permitting. He is a retired Naval Flight Officer, having spent 22 years serving his country, an NRA instructor, a retired engineer in the defense industry, and now a starving author. He lives in North Texas, He currently has two series in work. The Grey Man, a Texas based current fiction series revolving around LEOs and Marines. And the Rimworld Series, started with a short story that was an Amazon Best Seller for five days after its release.

I’ve read Jim’s work, I purchased all of his books (as you can see above) and I believe in his writing. For those who enjoy military/law enforcement-oriented books, Jim’s THE GREY MAN series is highly recommended. For those of a sci-fi bent, Jim’s newest book (the beginning of a series) RIMWORLD: Into The Green will please those of a more realistic science fiction nature. Either way you can’t go wrong with a Jim Curtis book. I’m a reprobate bastard so I like the actual printed books that I can hold in my fetid paws.

You can (heavy sigh) acquire his books on Kindle as well. If you must. Harumph.

Tonight in the Saloon:

  • We speak to veteran and author Jim Curtis;
  • White Mamba dislikes my bartender Flakbait; guess who’s serving tonight?
  • Another Bolivian time check;
  • Another great chat roll; thanks to Mary Brockman for bringing the horde with her;
  • BZ chickens out on activating the live video stream; cowardly indeed;
  • Alan Dershowitz writes about terrorism; he’s absolutely correct. Why did it take a Leftist attorney to write a piece that should have been penned by Republicans?
  • Euro Leftists snicker at Trump whilst he calls on them to pay their “fair share.” This is a slap in the face to EVERY American Taxpayer; you are EXPECTED to pony your cash up for your Euro betters you dumpy proles, groundlings, commoners, serfs, US trash; I wonder why you’re not speaking GERMAN today, eh wot?
  • Only 5 of the 28 NATO countries are contributing their contractual 2% GDP to help out NATO; it’s the US that mostly funds NATO as it does with the United Nations;
  • Estonia and Poland are meeting their NATO obligations; France, Germany, Belgium are not even pretending to do so;
  • It’s the AMERICAN TAXPAYER who is getting boned by the entitled European Elite cock gobblers who DEMAND that you pony up your cash;
  • The EU proves BZ’s Criminal Axiom is now applicable to Europe: “what’s mine is mine and what’s yours is mine unless you have the strength to keep it”;
  • Europe to American Taxpayers: get going. Harder work and more of it;
  • BZ wants to set up more author interviews in the future to include CJ Box, Brad Thor and perhaps even Joseph Wambaugh, my personal hero from the 1970s;
  • Trey Gowdy: surveillance programs will not be reauthorized until answers are given;
  • President Trump: leakers will be prosecuted. The NYT has now decided to jeopardize the security relationships between the US and foreign powers;

EU doubles down: Brussels wants a dictatorship

Brexit Many RanguagesBecause everyone thinks they can “do” Socialism better than the last guy.

Not like Obaka isn’t trying.

Obama Dictatorship SupremeJust ask Lenin or Stalin or Chavez or Castro or Mao or Maduro.  There’s a lot to be said for a diktat.  It simplifies a lot of things.  “Streamlining,” you might say.

Why don’t we just let British media explain things right off the bat?

From the UKExpress:

European SUPERSTATE to be unveiled: EU nations ‘to be morphed into one’ post-Brexit

by Nick Gutteridge

EUROPEAN political chiefs are to take advantage of Brexit by unveiling their long-held plan to morph the continent’s countries into one GIANT SUPERSTATE, it has emerged today.

The foreign ministers of France and Germany are due to reveal a blueprint to effectively do away with individual member states in what is being described as an “ultimatum”. 

Right.

An ultimatum because those in favor of REMAIN cheated and, despite that, lost at the polls.  Their first thought — following the shock of it all — was to nullify the vote.  They didn’t get their way.  That can’t happen.  They are Leftists.  The proles, the groundlings, the serfs, the pawns, the unwashed, the uneducated, they must obey.  “Too many ignorant people in the UK.  We need to push their votes aside and do what we, the parliament, know is best for those brain-dead Britons who voted for Brexit.”

In other words: to hell with you dimwit voters.

Brexit Londoner NOT AncientBecause, after all, those persons silly enough to vote for Brexit were clearly uneducated.

Brexit Leftist EducationOr perhaps they consisted of those who were actually thinking human beings and respected the right of cultures and countries to exist on their own?

Nah.  Racist, sexist, xenophobic, anti-immigrant, anti-Elitist, anti-Socialist, anti-Globalist, anti-Leftist.

But — oh my — it so gets better:

Controversially member states would also lose what few controls they have left over their own borders, including the procedure for admitting and relocating refugees. 

The plot has sparked fury and panic in Poland – a traditional ally of Britain in the fight against federalism – after being leaked to Polish news channel TVP Info. 

Listen:

Under the radical proposals, EU countries will lose the right to have their own army, criminal law, taxation system or central bank, with all those powers being transferred to Brussels. 

Turning all power over to Brussels, Belgium.  Repeat: all.  Sufficiently onerous for you yet?

But others see the Brexit vote as an opportunity to push ahead with the European elite’s long-cherished dream of creating a United States of Europe.

Spain’s foreign minister Jose Manuel Garcia-Margallo has called for “more Europe” whilst Italy’s finance minister, Carlo Padoan, is advocating a common budget for the eurozone states. 

Precisely.  A “United States of Europe” where they can finally put their boot-heels to that upstart US child.

Finally:

And Emmanuel Macron, France’s economy minister, wants to go even further and set up a common eurozone treasury which would oversee the permanent transfer of funds from wealthier northern Europe to shore up Mediterranean economies. 

There; the cat is out of the bag.  Euro Elitists want that forced transfer of wealth from the “greedy, evil Big States like Germany” to the poor needy states like Greece — who make execrable decisions, grant little if any input to the kitty, but want to take as much as possible from the central till.

You know it by the name of Socialism.

And it is unsustainable.  Just peek at Venezuela.

Let me say this again, Euro Elitist Leftists: people voted to opt out of the EU because Britons saw their country disintegrating before their very eyes.  They saw their culture — and make no mistake, the British indeed have a clear and lengthy culture — crumbling outside their doors.  They saw their values and mores being overshadowed by everyone and everything un-British.

Then they said: enough.

Brexit SwexitOverall, bad news for the European Union:

The EU should regard the referendum result as a wake-up call. Discontent with how the bloc operates isn’t restricted to Britain. A survey of more than 10,000 voters across Europe published by the Pew Research Center earlier this month showed rising dissatisfaction. The proportion of French respondents with a favorable view of the EU, for example, slumped to 38 percent from 69 percent in 2004; in Spain the deterioration was to 47 percent from 80 percent.

P.S.
If the Brits have “Brexit,” then how about Departugal?  Italeave?  Fruckoff?  Czechout?  Oustria?  Finish?  Slovlong?  Latervia?  Byegium?  Leaving only Germlonely?

By the way, two excellent articles on the Brexit here and here.
