Is Africa Really Worth Saving? & My Two Great African Friends on Entrecard:

Is Africa Really Worth Saving? & My Two Great African Friends on Entrecard:
By Marc Chamot

Update: Great African Insight & Response from Denford Below:

One of my top Entrecard card droppers is Denford Magora’s Zimbabwe Blog, he’s got a real awesome blog about political happenings in Zimbabwe. He really does a great job there, and I applaud him for his effort. By looking at his blog, it’s pretty difficult to really know what his political affiliations really are.

Then I did my opinion piece on a new measure in congress about granting foreign homosexuals the same rights as a man and woman have for permanent Green Cards. I blasted the idea on my other blog, and of course, Denford again posted under comments that I was a bigot and a homophobe. Of course, I blasted back, as any one would.

But finally, the real Denford Magora reveals himself through comments on my blog posting Foreign Homosexuals Ok to Marry & Get Permanent Green Cards if U.S. Congress Have their Way: “OMG!!!!!!!!! - American homosexuals are bad enough. Now they want to give you foreign ones as well? Good God, what if those lesbians rape your wife, girlfriend or something?Seriously though, you know why Japan's Toyota is now Number One in the world? Because, although they are insular, the Japanese do not wear their prejudice on their sleeves as Americans do. And they most certainly do not have protectionist "Buy Japanese" Campaigns in this global village.It is so limiting to the potential of your industry to be so inward looking.Muslims, Canadians, Mexicans, "Japs", Chinese, Africans....you guys are going to run out of people to hate very soon.”

My response to Denford’s comment? “Really Denford? I notice that you're doing your damnest to protect your culture in Zimbabwe very hard. Oh! I forgot, you don't have homosexuals in your country..Oh! Another thing? What kind of industries does Zimbabwe have? Oh yeah! I heard of it! Zimb-Autos GREAT FREAKIN' CARS!Oh! I also see all of the immigration problems of people wanting to pilfer your corrupt little country in DROVES! Wow dude...Amazing!Actually, my question on your blog has been answered you're in Michigan that IS WHY YOU GET THE FREEDOM OF SPEECH that you SO CONVEY...Welcome to America!

If you want to be technical about it Denford, let's talk about race, shall we? What happened in Zimbabwe, former despised "white" Rhodesia? There were massive land confiscations, whitey go away movement...
No wonder, you're in Michigan if you were in Mugabe's Zimbabwe, you'd be laying next to that corpse you got a picture of...”

What’s also interesting about Denford is that he equates constructive criticism on President Barack Obama as being racist. It’s the race card thing all over again.

Okay, okay, maybe I was a little to harsh on my friend Denford, while it’s okay to be left leaning and voice opposing views about subject matters. But I don’t think its okay to call opposing views on Barack Obama as racist and opposing views on homosexuals as being bigoted homophobe.

Denford and another terrific African blogger on Entrecard Nigerian Curiosity both detail in how bad things are within their respective nations that they write about. Meanwhile Solomon Sydelle of Nigerian Curiosity, as far as I know doesn’t opinion too much about American politics. They are both tremendous and dedicated bloggers about African happenings; actually, they are both the best sources in finding out what’s going on with their countries’ politics.

This posting isn’t only about Denford, Solomon and ME; it’s going to be about a topic I’d wanted to talk about for sometimes, Africa.

I agree that Africa is the most neglected continent on earth and it’s very tragic as to what’s happening there. I am very partial to Africa, because when I was twelve years old, I had a tremendous opportunity to live there for about a year and a half, in Zaire. My father was a geologist and worked for Gulf Oil and his job took him to Kinshasa. I was there during the Sese Seko Mobutu years. One of my fondest childhood memories was living in Zaire, I loved it! It’s a gorgeous country, maybe writing about my experiences there shall be for a later posting.

But for Denford’s sake, let’s bring race into this African equation:

Even though things in Africa are pretty tragic these days, most of their problems are their very own. Grant it, the Europeans colonized most of Africa. Colonization of some parts of Africa may be blamed for their chaos, but colonization only shares a part of the blame as to what is really happening in Africa today.

But the real truth of the matter, what is currently happening in Africa today, and mainly countries along the rain forest or the equator, which are all in shambles, and mainly those from Zaire, now called the Republic of Congo, Nigeria, Zimbabwe, Sudan, Rwanda and Somalia.

“When they all became independent nations, they all attempted to purge their countries of all former “white” colonial cultural influence and entered wars to challenge the rise of communism and other ethnic groups, leading to genocides in other African countries, and their mismanagement of their country's economy, corruption by its leaders, and used their countries for personal enrichment from its financial and natural resources, which have TOTALLY destroyed their nations.”

In a nutshell folks, they all turned against their former “white” colonists, they stole their lands, their businesses, and eventually they all left and their source of money from Europe basically DRIED-UP.

Why is South Africa the only successful African nation, and practically free of racism?

Their black leadership at the time saw that being a united country with their “white” citizens was the only way to ensure future financial success for their country. They let their South African whites keep their lands, their businesses, and also let them participate with their politics even after they got independence. And that strategy folks worked for South Africa, thanks in part to the ingenuity and forgiveness of Nelson Mandela, he saw where other former colonized African countries were heading to and he corrected just it in time for his.

Great African Insight & Response from Denford: Thank You Deny, I wasn't aware of the full context, I appreciate your African input on my blog post:

Denford said...

I am certain I did not bring race into any of this. Canadians are white, as far as I know, and you guys hate them. I watched a Fox clip the other day where the talk against Canada was very very hateful, saying they are cowards and so on. What I have a general problem with is hatred generally, be it about homosexuals (they are not a race), Canadians (they are white like you) etc etc. Yes, Mugabe has fucked up Zimbabwe, but the history is a bit more complex than you present it.

That great gesture of reconciliation from Mandela that you mention was actually pioneered by Mugabe. The idiot gave an address to the nation just after he became Prime Minister, famously known as the "ploughshares" speech."Let us turn our swords into ploughshares," he said, "If yesterday, you hated me, today you can not avoid the love binds me to you."

He was addressing the whites in Zimbabwe at the time. Mugabe's goes into towering rages when the issue of what he calls "Rhodesians" comes up (Zimbabwe under white rule was called Rhodesia).

He believes that this hand of reconciliation was spurned by the whites who retreated behind walled white ghettos and sent their kids to their own exclusive schools and never intergrated with the community of Zimbabwe and basically, never voted for him, returning Ian Smith (the former Rhodesian Prime Minister whom Mugabe had fought in a 10 year bloody war that killed thousands) to parliament over and over again until Mugabe had Smith's party basically banned from our democracy by changing the British law that gave Zimbabwe Independence.

That law had given the whites twenty permanent seats in parliament for ten years. Smith one every single one of them every time he ran in the white elections which were held at the same time as the black elections. Mugabe saw this as humiliation, his hand of reconciliation being spurned and when the white community in Zimbabwe started supporting the new MDC opposition party in 1999, Mugabe went after their wealth base, in order to deny the opposition a financial lifeline.Land was the obvious one, because some white farmers were shown in TV waving checks about and saying they were "investing" in the MDC.

The rest is history, Mugabe cut off his nose to spite his face.But we are fighting him, this always happens all over Africa, including in Ghana, which was the first British colony to get independence in Africa.

Now, however, modern, younger leaders have taken over in Ghana and it is one of the fastest growing economies in the world, no longer a Third World country, in fact, more like a Second World One, like Poland or Spain and they are going up still.

We will get rid of Mugabe and we will rise again.I just wonder if America will get rid of its culture of hate, that's all...this is not all Americans, though, as I am sure you are decent enough chap

All in the Family; My Friends at Entrecard are on a Mission:

All in the Family; My Friends at Entrecard are on a Mission:
By Marc Chamot

Entrecard’s creator and genius, Graham Langdon was right when he said that if it weren’t for Entrecard, most bloggers affiliated with his network wouldn’t have the friendship and the following elsewhere as they do with Entrecard.

I don’t think I have made great friends elsewhere, besides the few on Zimbio, as I have with Entrecard. When Graham Langdon created Entrecard, the secret behind his system was the card dropping; if it weren’t for the card dropping no one would be receiving regular visits from anybody, it made other people’s blogs grow with you, pretty ingenious.

It’s without a doubt that Entrecard members are among the most gifted bloggers on the net. I personally have a great relationship with most EC bloggers, conservatives and liberals alike.

We’ve had our sad moments too, we’ve seen bloggers leave or disappear; one was EuroYank, who in the end deleted all of his blogs, five freakin’ years of hard work down the drain! There’s another new blogger who had 14 EC ads on his blog, he recently deleted his blog from the Net.

But then again we got a tremendous group of friends, like my friend Tom Usher of Real Liberal Christian Church in his SMALL FRY LIBERTARIAN WORRIES, FEARS, AND WRONG REACTIONS posting, “as a herd of cattle or sheep to be done with as the powers that be decide. This has been a longstandiThey believe that the federal government is being guided to make obtaining the materials for making ammunition more difficult so that the people will be effectively disarmed and therefore controllable ng area of concern for the gun advocates. They don't trust the government not to act as the Gestapo where the people are totally disarmed.

They believe that the U.S. Constitution guarantees their right to bear arms. That is debatable at best, since the clause is to be read in its full context. The well-regulated militias (government controlled) don't bring their own choice of personally owned weapons from their homes anymore. They use the weapons supplied by the state.”

Sure, Tom’s piece was a direct hit at me, I’m the only EC’er that has been on the bandwagon for Libertarian causes, bless his heart, love him, or hate him, he knows how to dish it out. I figure if I like to dish it out, I should be able to take it also. Even though I disagree with some of Tom Usher’s views on Libertarians, it’s what makes the Net great!

People with different sets of minds and views all compiled in one spot, and it’s truly amazing!

Then I got my friend RE, at BadGalsRadio, in my opinion she’s the most intelligent and gifted blogger around! She has a truly great blog, she devotes a whole lot of time and effort on her blog and it shows. She’s also very dedicated on issues as I am, even though we disagree on some issues, we respect each other, and she’s now on with her new mission Prosecuting Bush and Cheney at Everything’s On the Table, co’mon in Mr. Holder

And then there’s Politicus another gifted blogger on Entrecard, he even awarded me his own award as a dedicated blogger. He is also very issue oriented, and does make a whole lot of political sense. Politicus is on a mission too, There’s More to Dick Cheney Than Even He Realizes, Pt 1,

Even though I am an Independent, Libertarian the majority of my blog supporters have been conservatives, they link to my blogs. Like my friends, RWNJ Conservative Views from Cincinnati, DID I MISS SOMETHING? . And let’s not forget my great friends at the Bobo Files, Patriot Sickle, politicalRantsontheRight, Sketch and numerous others.

Politicus has aligned himself with BadGalsRadio to get a criminal investigation going on former President George Bush and his VP Dick Cheney. It’s kind of a truth commission of some sort. While I agree that there should be some sort of action, I totally disagree with their mission. There are number of reasons as to why I disagree with it.

Just as I don’t agree with the Tea Party Protests, because the Tea Party strategies only targets part of the problem in America, while job loses and rampant illegal immigration are not being addressed. It’s a tax revolution and we’ve got far more problems in the United States than just taxes folks!

I equally share that same view with Politicus and BadGalsRadio, we’ve got too much on our plate to devote time and energy for something that will never materialize. I don’t think that the Democrats want to rehash old wounds again. The Democrats had the opportunity to impeach Bush and Cheney in 2006/2007 when they took back control of the House and Senate, what was Pelosi's comment then? "Impeachment is off the table," and what did I mean by old wounds?

The Bill Clinton years, there were many things that went unresolved during the Clinton years, like the truths behind the Vince Foster’s murder, which every indication shows that it were made out to be a suicide. Then there is that 1995 TWA 800, was it a missile that hit the plane? There was a lot of corruption and arm twisting from the Clinton White House going on behind the investigation, which showed a cover up.

If American’s had known the truth about what happened with the TWA 800, Bill Clinton wouldn’t have been re-elected in 1996. Everything points to a cover-up. Then we’ve got the Ron Brown thing, the plane that mysteriously crashed in Kosovo, where Ron Brown supposedly got a 45 caliber bullet in his skull? Ron Brown was the former chair of the DNC, it was said that he had the illegal Clinton contribution records in hand that were about to be leaked out. And it even got more suspicious when his former business partner was shot in a botch murder attempt in Johannesburg South Africa. But, nobody came out with the full report as to what exactly happened there, so basically we’re heading back into the “gotcha” game and parties’ tit-for-tat revenge games.

In 2000 when President George Bush became president and the Republicans in the Senate and Congress were in power, they could have created their own truths commissions to investigate these allegations on former President Bill Clinton, but they didn’t.

I have no doubt that electing U.S. presidents have become more divided and polarized these days.

What George Bush and Barack Obama are proving now is that we’ve got a serious problem in the way American presidents are being elected. It seems that a small minority of political activists, the Left and the Right are putting undue pressure and influence over the American presidential politics. I talked to a good friend, a retired Lieutenant Colonel of the U.S. Army, who was a devout former Bush supporter; we’ve had our arguments over Bush. As most bloggers know, I’ve never been a Bush supporter; I’ve criticized him with expletives on many occasions.

But what my friend told me may ring true. Something I never thought about, but repealing the 17th Amendment might be a solution. Going back to the way our forefathers originally wanted for our presidential elections, until they tinkered with it around June 1911. I will do a full posting on it in my other blog soon….

Barack Obama’s Partnering Border Security with Mexico, Curtailing Drugs & Weapons Isn’t Enough & What’s With the Examiner’s Pro-Illegal Alien:

President Barack Obama’s Partnering Border Security with Mexico, Curtailing Drugs & Weapons Isn’t Enough & What’s With the Examiner’s Pro-Illegal Alien U.S. Chamber of Commerce Agendas?
By Marc Chamot

President Barack Obama’s new border plan, to conjunct with the Mexican government is a right first step, but not enough to curb the disaster that’s happening south of our border.

Bi-Partisan politicians like Texas Governor Rick Perry, and Independent/Democrat Senator Joseph Lieberman are absolutely right to question as to why, we’re not using our national guards, and U.S. military to secure America, from the dangers to what’s happening with the Mexican drug wars.

It’s just another way for the soft-hearted Democrats to turn their backs, and to keep away from controlling our porous borders from illegal aliens, which pro-corporate Republican Conservatives also support. It’s a go after drugs and weapons-kind of-thing, instead of totally securing the border, while letting the border still wide open for illegal aliens to keep coming across into the United States while jobs are becoming scarcer.

Take the Examiner for example; even though its owner is Denver billionaire Philip Anschutz, who is a supposed to be a hardcore conservative, with his vast newspapers chain, he has been extensively carrying the exclusives, United States Chamber of Commerce propaganda, and the pro-Amnesty and illegal immigration agendas. Day in and day out, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce has been carrying the cheap labor and anti-American unions’ battle cries ads in their newspapers.

It just shows how far apart some conservatives are from regular working American Joes’, and it also shows their total disregard for fair paying wages for most Americans. And we keep asking, as to why OUR economy is in Chaos?

This is one reason as to why I do not support pro-corporate conservatives, they are just too pro-corporate America, it’s all about profit and cheaper labor, and they still haven’t been able to change from their “evil ways” to suit us regular working folks.

The demand for cheap labor in America is so huge for both parties that there is a whole lot of money riding on it, even though the majority of Americans want stronger immigration enforcements, we’re still being ignored. But for now, the Republicans are paying dearly for their mistake, for now anyway….

UPDATE March 31, 2009

"It looks like my problem with the San Francisco public library has been resolved. The day I posted this posting, they were aware as to what I wrote, and I understand that they sent out a technician to check out the system at the Excelsior Library, and it appears that all systems are a go. So everything so far is great! It’s a real shame that I had to get public about their Net service; I wasn’t getting any answers, just horribly slow none existent Internet. I want to thank the San Francisco public library for responding immediately to the problem…Thank you!"

"Shame on Mayor Gavin Newsom and shame on San Francisco Public Libraries:"

Well folks, it didn’t last more than three weeks until someone at the San Francisco public library figured out that someone named the Marc Chamot Report was among their midst blogging away, and pretty negative stuff about their mayor, Gavin Newsom, and also writing not so glamorous stuff about the so called fine city by the bay. Really! In freaking San Francisco, a Marc Chamot, with his so called right wing articles and ideas using our network? No way Dude!

The library in question is the Excelsior branch of all the city libraries. It actually started Sunday folks. These “free speech” mongers don’t know what freedom of speech is all about. Actually my contents are pretty much “G” rated with no adult contents and never any foul language right?

Complaining about it has pretty much not gotten anywhere. Actually, if it weren’t for a couple NOSY piece of crap, Liberals that saw what I was writing and posting must have brought it to the attention of these library Nazis.

According to my IP Checker, the Standard library IP address for users with their own laptops is 76.103.15.149.

But, it seems an internal check on my blog traffic through their IP checker on users saw where and what I was doing. They even looked into both of my blogs. Check for yourselves!

Dysfunctional California Liberal Court Systems to Blame Over 4 Oakland Police Killings:

Dysfunctional California Liberal Court Systems to Blame Over 4 Oakland Police Killings:
By Marc Chamot

Sadly to say, as of this writing the second motorcycle police officer succumbed to his gun injuries, and it now makes four police officers killed by a recent parolee, let loose by an incompetent California criminal justice system.

The four tragic Oakland cop killings is a by-product of a failed California judicial court system that lets very dangerous criminals loose on the streets. A system that gives criminals far better rights over victims.

It’s quite unfortunate that it took Lovelle Mixon, an ex-con with a rap record of armed assaults on people, who the courts have recently placed on parole, ended snuffing out the lives of three fine Oakland California police sergeants and possibly a fourth unnamed police officer succumbed to his gun injuries.

This is a California on going problem, a state that has a liberal court system that lets very dangerous criminals out on the streets. But unfortunately, California anti-gunners are going to put the blame on gun availability for these criminals to get their hands on, and while totally ignoring the real truths of the problem, which should have been locking these criminals up, and throwing away the keys in the first place.

Superior court judges like Peter Busch who recently ruled, “That crime victims in California have no legal recourse against the state, even when the state releases dangerous criminals by mistake.” Story, Judge Peter Busch, says “the state has no duty to protect the public from a newly freed parolee, even if the prison system violated its own rules”

It’s tragic indeed that it took the lives of four fine sworn police officers, such as sergeants, Mark Dunakin, Ervin Romans, Daniel Sakai, and the fourth officer. They all four succumbed, not because they were doing their jobs to protect the local citizenry, they all succumbed because of our California justice and court systems that failed to protect them, from a very vile and dangerous criminal.

3 Oakland cops killed in 2 related incidents
(03-21) 17:32 PDT OAKLAND -- Three Oakland police sergeants were shot and killed and a fourth officer was critically wounded Saturday in a pair of related incidents that together rank among the deadliest attacks on law enforcement in California history.
A fifth officer, a member of the SWAT team that killed the suspect police held responsible for the shootings, was treated for minor injuries and released.

<<Related story: Bay Area police remember each on-duty death>>
The first incident happened about 1:15 p.m. when two traffic officers were gunned down after what police described as a "routine" stop of a 1995 Buick in the 7400 block of MacArthur Boulevard in East Oakland, not far from the Eastmont Town Center.

About two hours later, after some 200 officers from Oakland Police, Alameda County Sheriff's Office, BART Police and the California Highway Patrol combed the area for the suspect, three SWAT officers were shot when their team found him hidden in an apartment on 74th Avenue near Hillside Street, police officials said.

In all, two SWAT officers and one traffic officer died in the two incidents; one traffic officer was on life support late Saturday.

"In these moments, words are extraordinarily inadequate," Oakland Mayor Ron Dellums told reporters at a news conference Saturday night at Oakland police headquarters. "We come together in shock, in grief, in sadness and sorrow. Our hearts go out to the officers' families who are experiencing a level of tragedy that goes beyond our ability to comprehend."

Improper Sexual Trysts Abroad Can Lead to Loss of Fortunes and Big Jail Time in the U.S., the 2004 Law Protecting Children is Being Severely Abused:

Improper Sexual Trysts Abroad Can Lead to Loss of Fortunes and Big Jail Time in the U.S., But the 2004 Law Protecting Children is Being Severely Abused for Financial Gains:
By Marc Chamot

Photo of the Mexican kid, Daniel Garcia who falsely accused an American of sexual improprieties.

Living a sexual deviant lifestyle with younger kids, can be financially unhealthy and very deadly for some older homosexuals:

I, for one don’t feel sorry for the fate of older homosexuals that like to fling around with younger boys, I also don’t feel too sorry for a hetero-sexual male and female that does the very same thing. But unfortunately their fate can be horrific at times. But this article in the San Francisco Weekly really caught my eye.

There is an obscure law in the United States that is directed at child molesters, especially the ones that leave the country to participate in despicable sexual activities with children in foreign countries.

As it turns out, it looks like the American law that protects children abroad, may also be wide open for exploitation, it’s unfair and may be very flawed, and can be easily manipulated by unscrupulous attorneys and cash needy foreign kids.

Even if you’re innocent, it can be exploited against you. I believe as more and more of the poorer nations become aware of this law, it’s going to have an adverse reaction for Americans traveling abroad, mainly to Asia and Latin America.

The Law:
U.S. Is Now Pursuing Americans Who Commit Sex Crimes Overseas
By ERIC LICHTBLAU and JAMES DAO

“One suspect was a convicted pedophile from Baltimore accused of molesting boys in two Asian countries. Another was a doctor from Georgia who the Russian police said drugged his young victims in a St. Petersburg hotel. A third was a retired Army sergeant from Seattle who may have molested up to 50 children.

The three men would once have almost certainly fallen outside the grasp of United States prosecutors. But with the long arm of American law growing ever longer, all three could face significant prison sentences in the United States because of a measure passed by Congress last year that gives federal officials much more power to prosecute people suspected of molesting children on foreign soil. Officials have already used their expanded authority to prosecute five American men, four of whom are awaiting trial. Dozens more investigations are under way from Sri Lanka to Costa Rica.

American officials are hoping their investigations will help break what they believe are shadowy Internet networks used by pedophiles to share photographs of children and travel tips about countries with thriving child sex industries.

But so far, prosecutions under the new law have focused on people who traveled on their own.”

But unfortunately for older homosexuals, their lifestyles have serious consequences that are becoming more tragic and very public everyday.

Not only that folks, but recently the fates for older homosexuals have been pretty fatal since the Andrew Cunanan serial murders of 1997. Andrew was known for the murders of various elder homosexuals that he once frequented, his sight of revenge caped off with the murder of Gianni Versace.

The Consequences:
Now, in the San Francisco Bay Area, we’ve got a case where a wealthy gay man Thomas Frank White, who had a mansion in Puerto Vallarta, was accused of frequenting with young Mexican boys. He not only was convicted in the U.S. and Mexico for these crimes, he was also sued for $7 million.

It seems like the attorney, Replogle, who chased Thomas White in Mexico to bring in a conviction and to sue, this attorney bribed these kids to falsely identify and testify against White out of photos, just to steal all of his money.

And so now these two culprits who were behind the White scheme, the one Mexican kid, Daniel Garcia who testified against Thomas White, and Garcia’s shyster lawyer Replogle, are now both involved behind the recent theft and disappearance of another suspected wealthy homosexual, in 74 year-old Palm Springs man, Cliff Lambert.

What a sorry lifestyle folks, that’s all I got to say about it. If you are unfortunately snarled into this deceit, best keep witnesses on record and avoid contact with any minor what so EVER.

The Thomas White Affair
Palm Springs arrests cast doubt on the prosecution of a San Francisco man in a sex tourism case.
By Matt Smith
Published: March 18, 2009

Thomas Frank White, 73, once a famed San Francisco stockbroker and philanthropist, sits in a Puerto Vallarta jail cell, facing charges that he invited boys to a mansion there so he could have sex with them. White was arrested in Thailand in 2003 and later extradited to Mexico, and hasn't seen freedom since. Back home in San Francisco, newspaper pictures of him shirtless and surrounded by Mexican youths have become symbols of what was seen in the early 2000s as a growing international scourge of sex tourism.

White got this reputation with the help of San Francisco attorney David Replogle, 60, and his client Daniel Garcia, 26, who traveled repeatedly to Mexico to recruit underage plaintiffs willing to testify that White had sex with them.

"I want to see justice for the children of Puerto Vallarta," Replogle was quoted as saying in one of several San Francisco Chronicle stories describing the quest to bring White to justice. "I am a gay man, which makes what Tom White has done doubly offensive to me. This is not just a variation on being gay. It's wrong — ethically, morally, legally, every way."

White now faces Mexican and U.S. charges alleging that he traveled to Puerto Vallarta to have sex with boys. Replogle and his clients, including Garcia, settled for $7 million, after filing a lawsuit demanding $100 million. "But no amount of money can give back the most important thing Mr. White took from them, and that is their innocence," Replogle was quoted as saying in another Chronicle story.

Recent events, however, now throw into question Replogle's own innocence in the Thomas White affair. Replogle and Garcia recently pleaded not guilty in Palm Springs to unrelated fraud, embezzlement, and forgery charges, which, if true, could cast doubt on their credibility and raise the possibility that two alleged con men led U.S. law enforcement officials on a costly international manhunt while unfairly condemning a man to a half-decade in a Mexican jail.

As in the White case, the allegations against Replogle in Palm Springs suggest the attorney became associated with a group of young men who knew a wealthy, older homosexual man and then managed to extract money from him. Bail for Replogle and the other defendants have been set at $5 million.

Unsealed litigation documents, meanwhile, allege that Replogle may have been more mercenary than anti-sex-abuse missionary in his pursuit of White. "I think [the Palm Springs arrest] puts the allegations against [White] in a different light," said Stuart Hanlon, White's attorney. "He's always said he was set up and framed by Garcia and Replogle. Now there are allegations that they have a reputation of doing this kind of thing."

White is accused of having sex with numerous Mexican boys whom he invited into his mansion. Garcia claimed White abused him when he was a teenager. Click Here for Full Story:

Seattle Post-Intelligencer Shuts down its Presses; a Sorry Randolph Hearst Newspaper Trend that May Not Change for the Foreseeable Future:

Seattle Post-Intelligencer Shuts down its Presses; a Sorry Randolph Hearst Newspaper Trend that May Not Change for the Foreseeable Future:
By Marc Chamot

One of my most despised newspaper publishers around is the Randolph Hearst family clan, owners of various newspapers chains around the country. They are mainly known for their ownerships of the San Francisco Chronicle and the Houston Chronicle. They are also known as incompetent newspaper and magazine owners, and they don’t know much in dealing with their personnel and other legal issues that have come across their desks throughout the years.

Of course, I feel sorry for my fellow newspaper folks who are going to be left without jobs. But at the same token, I don’t feel a rat’s rear-end for the Hearst family magnate of newspaper owners, and I certainly do wish the same could happen for their miserable San Francisco rag-piece that people only use to line the bottoms of their bird cages, to protect bird feces from messing up the bird stands.

It’s obvious that I’m no fan of the Hearst, no sir! I am no fan of the Hearst’s, their publications and I never was. I went through a hell-hole with them in the past. Their battles with my former employer, the ever corrupt Fang Family, the ones who conspired to steal the Examiner and $66 Million away from the Hearst’s around 2000.

Even though Hearst Corp. are signers with BlogBurst.com, a website that publishes member bloggers on major newspaper’s websites, and they conveniently saw to it that BlogBurst.com do not repost any of my postings, especially after I berated the Hearst Chronicle on a few postings back.

I am also positive that I’m on a blacklist within the newspaper industry, which was started by the Hearst newspapers decades ago to bust union leadership, it carries a secret blacklist among them, and I know that I have been blacklisted from the newspaper industry entirely. I’ve known a few other people that have been blacklisted also, because of their connections to the Fangs and the lawsuits that were involved behind that relationship.

When I blasted the Hearst Corp. in my San Francisco Chronicle in Turmoil; $50 Million Losses in 2008, is a Bailout in Order & are Hearst Family’s Evil Side Catching up to them? The Hearst’s saw to it that BlogBurst.com stop reposting my articles on newspaper websites. That’s the Hearst Corporation for you, they are vindictive, they can be backstabbers and the way they even went after a measly blogger like Marc Chamot, through BlogBurst.com that tells you pretty much on whose side is BlogBurst.com, eh?

So now the Seattle Post Intelligencer is closing its doors. As far as I see, the San Francisco Chronicle hasn’t made any strides to survive the chaos. They did come up with a few union deals, but I doubt it’s enough to ensure their survival. I will say this though; the Hearst families are definitely getting their ROYAL due.

In Seattle, the World Still Turns, a Beacon in Memory of a Lost Newspaper
SEATTLE — A visitor passing through Seattle last week made an impertinent request. He called someone at The Post-Intelligencer to ask whether he could, if at all possible, visit the 30-foot neon globe that sits atop the newspaper’s waterfront building. He couldn’t really explain the need.

The request might have seemed especially rude, given that those employed by The Post-Intelligencer were living hour to hour, waiting for a call from the Hearst Corporation, its owner in New York, about what day would be its last as a printed entity. That call came Monday: A daily Seattle tradition that began in 1863 will end Tuesday, March 17, 2009.

America’s Shame, Christianity in Decline; is America Becoming an Atheist Nation?

America’s Shame, Christianity in Decline; is America Becoming an Atheist Nation?
By Marc Chamot & Source AP

In a new study out, they’ve found that Americans have become less religious. Roman Catholics have been shifting out of the Northeast to the Southwest, and Christianity has declined and more people are saying that they have no religion at all. 15 percent of the respondents said that they have no religion at all, an increase from 14.2 percent in 2001 and 8.2 percent in 1990.

According to the American Religious Identification Survey, Northern New England surpassed the Pacific Northwest as the most atheists of all regions with Vermont at a high of 34%!

The study showed that atheism has risen in virtually every state in the union. In the Pacific Northwest, Catholics dropped to 36% from 43% in 1990.If it weren’t for the large Hispanic communities, in California, Florida and Texas, these states would barely have any figures rating their Catholic churches.

Nationally, the Catholic churches remain the largest Christian religious group, with 57 million members. But unfortunately it has lost its share compared to the population by 25% from what they were back around the 1990s.

In 2008 other Christian groups comprised 76 percent of adults, compared to about 77 percent in 2001, and about 86 percent in 1990. The report from the Program on Public Values at Trinity College in Hartford, Conn surveyed 54,461 adults from February through November 2008.

Thirty percent of married couples did not have a religious wedding ceremony, and 27 percent of respondents did not want a religious funeral.

Folks, it’s quite a sad day for America, religion, and for all Christians. Christianity is what made the United States of America. Our forefathers who created this country were religious Christians, our constitution, and in “God we Trust” all have Christian religious roots. I grew up in Oklahoma and Texas in the early seventies, and religion was all of our up bringing in our neighborhoods. It’s what made America great!

It’s just a terrible shame, because I do believe what Pastor Rod Parsley said years ago. God has stopped protecting America and the people who live in it. It’s very obvious with the Sept 11, 2001 and now with our economic decline and world events.

Cry Baby Iran; They Blast Hollywood as Anti-Iranian; Despite their American Flag Burnings & Anti-Semitic Views:

Cry Baby Iran; They Blast Hollywood as Anti-Iranian; Despite their American Flag Burnings & Anti-Semitic Views:
By Marc Chamot

Hypocritical Iran, once again criticized Hollywood, actually the makers of the movie, “The Wrestler” for being too anti-Iranian.

The movie portrayed a character by the name of “Ayatollah,” and at one point there was a scene of an Iranian flag being used to choke the lead character with. Now President Mickey Mouse (Mahmoud) Ahmadinejad’s office demanded immediate apologies from Hollywood.

They are total lies! These are the words being said by Javad (Shame) Shamghardi, cultural adviser to the president. Never mind that Iran and the Iranians have been burning U.S. flags since their disposal of the Shah back around 1979.

Never mind when three years ago, Iran used their newspaper mediums to put out the worst anti-Semitic cartoons ever done in world public media. And never mind that these extremists, religious zealots have publicly denied the very existence of the darkest ages of the Nazi Holocausts. And never mind that these imbeciles used their newspapers to mock the death of 6 million plus Jews in Nazi concentration camps.

Other American made movies were also being also sited, by these worlds leading terrorist organizations, like the ‘Not without My Daughter” and “300,” which they were also accusing these pictures as being totally blasphemous!

So, to President Mickey Mouse (Mahmoud) Ahmadijenad, where’s your blasphemy at, and looks who’s calling the pot black again? And here’s back at you, from one Jew to an anti-Semite; just stick that "FINGER" where the sun doesn’t shine if you get my drift?

My Two Cents on the Entrecard-EuroYank Fiasco:

My Two Cents on the Entrecard-EuroYank Fiasco:
By Marc Chamot

I will now put my two cents on the Entrecard-EuroYank fiasco. But it may not all be Entrecard’s fault.

Sometimes towards the end of last year maybe August or September, right when I was getting started with Entrecard, I noticed a friendly follower to my blog, EuroYank. I had checked out his blog and I had trouble opening his pages, when he decided to buy an ad from me, I turned him down.

I emailed him telling him that I didn’t understand what his blog was about and I explained about my problem about accessing his blog as to the reason of denying his ad.

He briefly emailed me back and explained. I kind of had an idea that it was too anti-American, but I said what the heck. So he resubmitted his ad and I approved it.

A few weeks after, he was tops on Entrecard in political rankings, then after a week I noticed he was no longer there.

So, I emailed EuroYank to ask him what was going on, being new at Entrecard I was kind of curious about it. It was the Freedom of Speech kind of curious. He wrote me back saying that he left on his own accord, because he did not like Entrecard’s rating systems, and that they weren’t keeping accurate click counts or something to that effect. I told him that I didn’t have any problems like that with Entrecard, I told him that I was very happy with Entrecard. And that was it…Until…

During that time there was a pissing contest going on, with another blogger, I can’t remember exactly whom, whether it was about EuroYank or not, another blogger had accused another Entrecarder of using their logo without permission.

But I found it to be kind of strange seeing EuroYank disappear the first time and these accusations flying about. Then recently he shows up back again, I was very happy to see him again. I even linked his great article about the end of the American Dream on to my blog. But to be honest with EuroYank, I have never seen him being nasty or rude with any other bloggers either.

Is San Francisco Promoting Islam through their Transportation Systems? It is getting the Ire of Some City Folks:

Is San Francisco Promoting Islam through their Transportation Systems? It is getting the Ire of Some City Folks:
By Marc Chamot

What does it say about its mayor, Gavin Newsom who wants to be governor of the ugliest State of California?

Leave it to loony San Francisco again. This time it’s their public owned transportation system that is in the business of promoting religion. No folks, it isn’t our religion for Pete’s sakes! It’s another one that’s practically been on most of their buses for about two months, but no one’s been bitching about it, until now.

If it were our Christian values and religion being promoted instead, these anti-religious zealots, Muslim groups, the far-left, San Franciscan heathens and the atheists they would all be burning buses right now. It would make national news people.

It’s an outrage! It certainly hasn’t gotten any newspaper coverage yet, but some of the citizenry somewhere in this silly little city are beginning to grumble about it.

Is SF violating the Constitution?

“Aren't Muni buses and cable cars "government property"? If so, why are they promoting religion? Doesn't that violate the concept of "separation of church and state"? Every time I see an "Islam is the answer" or "submission to God" sign on a cable car or bus I get more pissed.”

A Special Appeal to All of My Fine Friends:

A Special Appeal to All of My Fine Friends:
By Marc Chamot

A few months ago, I wrote about wanting to be a traveling writer in Mexico. On my reaching fifty-years, I wanted new changes in my life. To my readers who followed me are probably wondering, “I thought that Marc said he was going to Mexico?” Well, the problem is I never fully explained myself from that posting on, and as to why I ended up back in San Francisco instead.

I did go to San Diego. I went as far as the Tijuana border, and I did a little investigation of my own, and I discovered that if I went on through into Mexico it would have been a fatal mistake for me to take. I talked to a few people and they told me that the U.S. border patrols were advising Americans not to go into Mexico, especially around the border towns. It was too risky and dangerous, because Mexico has serious problems with the drug cartels and bandits. These Northern Mexican towns have become virtually a no man’s land, with virtually no law enforcements available to protect you.

So I decided to go back to San Francisco, where I knew some friends. Unfortunately, being unemployed and scrapping for every thing I can get to get by, it’s really tough, I had picked a bad time to be in California. My part-time job that I did have to help me along, sadly to say it’s been over this past Saturday. The print shop owner and a good friend of many years is closing his doors soon. Things have gotten so tough around here, it becoming virtually difficult for businesses to stay open.

During my time here, I have discovered that my unique assets that I own are my writing talents and my blogs. Thanks in part to my many friends at Entrecard.com; Google has also been tremendous to me. I get the best service around with Google. I am what you want to call a “Googler” loyalist. In my opinion both, Entrecard and Google for the past two months have given me the explosion in blog traffic that I never had before. Of course, I have made far more friends and lost a few. I have also gotten more positive comments and people have given me tremendous reviews, which I have posted on my blogs.

I also want to make a special appeal to all of my feed readers out there. I only know of my syndications, but I don’t know who the rest of you are, but you’re out there. Some say that feed readership is much larger than the people who actually access ones blog. Most of my syndications are through feeds, people read them, but never actually see your blog contents. I came up with a great Paypal solution to solve that dilemma, as you will see.

That is why I am linking my Paypal on all my blog posts through none HTML codes, which feeds cannot read.

Among the many fine blogs out there, those of my fellow Entrecarders are among the finest around. I believe that mine is also pretty unique. Not only I post articles on current events and political things, I also do a lot of research to base my thesis and back up my opinions. I know that sometimes some of my stories have irked some people, I have seen some followers pull out because they don’t agree with what I write or say. But heck, that’s what blogs are all about and my traffic keeps on rising, that’s the important thing, isn’t it? I absolutely want to keep on doing what I’ve been doing for these past few months.

Through my blog surfing’s I possibly discovered something that I could do, and make a little money at the same time. I have run across many blogs that write about their travels abroad. They post their destinations, places visited, their experiences and photos. It’s all fine and well, but with our economic situation, I don’t think that many of us have the money and capacity to travel abroad these days. What I haven’t come across are blogs that write about traveling across America, blogs that write about the uniqueness of rural America, places to visit, places to eat, about its peoples and photo layouts. I think that Americans in general will be more apt to drive within 500 miles from their homes to visit the places I write about, rather than to be spending money on a lavish vacation abroad. It’s a kind of Americans helping other Americans in times of need.

That’s what I want to do. I want to take on, with possibly readers supported, some contracted syndications, and advertisers sponsored trip across all 48 states that are located in our mainland. It’s a journey that may take up to two years on Greyhound buses. Why on a greyhound bus, you may say? It gives me a whole lot of time to prepare on my projects and write. I can pay my fares from stop to stop in between. It also passes through rural America.

I want to write about our people, in a non political way. I have my political blogs to do that, believe me. I will not let you down either, the Marc Chamot Report will still be around no matter what. I also think that by having closer relations with rural Americans, writing about what they have to offer and put it on the Net, as to what they think, their needs, and what their problems are, and on their economical situations. This may also help my other blogs considerably with new wealth of information for you.

I am looking to start this new blog venture soon. But, it takes money, not a whole lot of money, but it does take some money to get it started. That is why I am going to begin here by posting a Paypal account on my blogs to get the ball rolling.

What I will do, is explore on what blog services gives me the diversity to put ads on. I love blogger, and Google blogger has been good to me for the past year and a half, since I first began blogging. Maybe some of you could recommend me something just as good.

What I will also do, is design my travel blog very simple. I will be only promoting my paid advertisers that will offer you their best American made farm made products, from jams and jellies, nuts, to arts and crafts and jewelry. I will also promote my paid sponsors, and link up to my syndications, and unless donors and sponsors want to remain anonymous, I shall respect all of their wishes. If some major magazine, newspaper or website wants exclusivity into some of my articles and photos first hand, I will offer that option for an agreed price.

I also feel that getting to know America is a great place to start. Hopefully, and maybe, something unique could occur that benefits all of us.
