Start at the 41:00 minute mark for the salvage operation in Venezuela. LOL! Mikey is so naive. Dealing with the military and governments of South America about an old airplane is risky business, but money changing hands can get you anything. I’ve been there. Hahaha!

At the end, Mikey and his two mechanics think the plane will never fly again. There is no paperwork on the parts! Hahaha. The paperwork will be done, don’t worry, retroactively.

“The engines were open.” Mikey. What is he talking about? The spark plugs were in the engines. The cowlings were on. It was in a hangar. Maybe the magnetos are bad, maybe not. Change the oil. Clean the plugs. Rotate the engine with the starter a few times to see if things are moving. Then fire the engines up and see what happens. See if the propeller governor works on the ground. You can pretty much test everything on the ground. 

Put in some extra gas tanks. Get a ferry permit. Hire a loco ferry pilot. And fly it back to Texas, then north to Canada and the hangar.

Sheesh!

Re-Entry: J. D. Breen

Traveling in the “shitholes” of the world is a challenge. Bureaucrats with uniforms, guns, and a love of their authority are everywhere. The bureaucrats have to hire all their own relatives and in-laws. It’s expected. So, you end up with four or five layers of “security”. It’s really for job security and keeping peace in the family.

Dress well, smile, make a joke (learn some of the local lingo), and you’ll be fine.

Writes Saleh Abdullah:

The whole interview was filled with false statements and projections as he tries to drag the United States into a war on Israel’s behalf. He claimed that Iran tried to assassinate Donald Trump twice and made crazy claims about Iran providing nuclear weapons to the Houthis. He even claimed that Iran is developing intercontinental ballistic missiles to strike the east coast of the United States. There’s no proof of any of these things he said.

Bibi looked like a very sick, nervous and desperate man in this interview. He has no real support and people are sick of this evil lunatic. He’s pushing the world towards a third world war and doesn’t care how many people die in the process. This is a man who is obsessed with maintaining political power so he doesn’t get thrown in prison for corruption and war crimes charges.

I watched “The Hobbit” trilogy again this weekend. In my opinion, it is as good, or maybe better, than the “Lord of the Rings” trilogy. Howard Shore again composes the soundtrack. Again, the credits are made up of excellent charcoal drawings and sketches for the film.

J.R.R. Tolkien wrote the story. The artists made the scenery and costumes. The composer set it all to music. All of it started in the imagination of the human mind.

For me, the charcoal drawings and sketches, the music, and the dialogue in the film are the story. Perhaps, because movies are visual, the charcoal drawings and sketches are the most important part of the triad. Life comes in threes, and so does film. Three acts in life. Music, scenery, and dialogue in film. 

We seem to be living in the world of “The Battle of the Five Armies”. I can’t even keep all the armies straight anymore. Who is on whose side today?

Writes, Patrick Foy:

We have been propagandized and conned for a very long time by this psychopathic liar and war criminal. Evidently, Washington, especially President Trump, likes Netanyahu. Or pretends to.

Dear Lew,

Did the Constitution fail? That depends. Of course it did, if its stated purpose was the actual purpose. But what if the actual purpose was not do secure liberty for the hapless subjects of the state, but to reduce it? Of course if you are trying to get a Constitution ratified, you dare not say that out loud. So that notion never appeared in The Federalist Papers!

Pardon the cynicism, but the Constitution obviously had political utility to its generation of politicians. It rewarded many with the political briar patch they sought.

Thanks for the good you have sown. May many generations reap.

Hi Lew

Why should we be surprised when a gunman takes his idea of justice into his own hands and guns down Minnesota lawmakers ?  Is that not the M.O. of Trump and all presidents before him when they decide justice dictates invading and/or bombing Grenada, Panama, Serbia, Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen, Somalia ad nauseum ?  No Kings ! indeed.  But where were these people when Biden was in charge of the carnage ?  

May that you keep doing what you’re doing, and Happy Father’s Day !

Gateway Pundit

Writes Linda P.:

Dear Lew,

I watched the video posted by Charles Burris on the blog about potential causes of transgenderism. Although Mark Dice mentioned in the video several oft-referenced potential causes, there is one that nobody wants to discuss. It strikes at the heart of the sexual revolution and the feminist movement, the biggest endocrine distruptor of all: birth control. 

From the day a female baby is born, she carries inside of her half of the genetic make-up of all of her potential children. Whatever she puts into her body, or experiences throughout her life can have a potential effect on her future babies. A woman pregnant with a baby girl also carries her potential grandchildren inside her baby, so there is even a generational effect in what a woman consumes for her grandchildren.

Most men are unaware of the fact that birth control is the pharmaceutical of choice for many female problems. It is given out without any worry for teenage acne and just about any menstrual cycle issue a girl experiences. It is ubiquitous, even aside from its use as birth control. Do any of us know what this kind of hormonal tinkering on women is doing to generation after generation of children? No, and nobody wants to look. But I have a strong suspicion that we can already see the answer all around us.

Thanks for all of your efforts to keep lewrockwell.com up and running!

Thanks, Jed M.

We Are Being Amused and Abused to Death: Jim Quinn

“I find myself ruminating about whether there is anything myself or any other average Joe can do to make a difference in this world, controlled by psychopaths, satanists, egomaniacal billionaires, corrupt evil politicians, a cabal of greedy financiers, neocon warmongering globalists, and the propaganda entertainment complex. When a complex entity becomes too large, it becomes inefficient, bureaucratic, corrupt, and uncontrollable.”

Maybe that first sentence by Jim Quinn explains this graph of world birth rates

Hi Bumper,  Was/Is the US Constitution a Failure?

Yes. The US Constitution is a failure. It is just words on paper. A document cannot fail unless people refuse to enforce it or refute it. People in power have refuted the US Constitution. They also don’t enforce it. The US Constitution is a French Letter. It is a used condom stripped off by the elites and thrown in the gutter.

Israel attacks Iran, and Trump calls a meeting in the White House. Why didn’t he call Netanyahu? Because Trump is a cowardly lion.     

The madness accelerates. War will erase the debt in blood.

The US Constitution and the people who wrote it failed. They failed to write a document and create a republic that protected our liberty.

The Friday the 13th superstition is attributed to various things in history, but the most likely was the raid by the King of France on the Templars in 1307. Pope Clement V jumped on the “Kill the Templars” bandwagon in 1312. Why not? The Templars were the bankers of that time and had all the gold and the debt that the King of France and the Pope owed to the Templars.

So, will Trump and the Pope attack the Bank of International Settlements today? Maybe the Federal Reserve? LOL. I wouldn’t hold my breath on that one.

Have a happy Friday the 13th, the day the bankers died. Bwah-ha-ha! Throw a dollar bill into the fire. “Let it go, Frodo! Be rid of it!”
