1942 German saboteurs executed in Washington
During World War II, six German saboteurs who secretly entered the United States on a mission to attack its civil infrastructure are executed by the United States for spying. Two other saboteurs who disclosed the plot to the FBI and aided U.S. authorities in their manhunt for their collaborators were imprisoned.
In 1942, under Nazi leader Adolf Hitler's orders, the defense branch of the German Military Intelligence Corps initiated a program to infiltrate the United States and destroy industrial plants, bridges, railroads, waterworks, and Jewish-owned department stores. The Nazis hoped that sabotage teams would be able to slip into America at the rate of one or two every six weeks. The first two teams, made up of eight Germans who had all lived in the United States before the war, departed the German submarine base at Lorient, France, in late May.
Just before midnight on June 12, in a heavy fog, a German submarine reached the American coast off Amagansett, Long Island, and deployed a team who rowed ashore in an inflatable boat. Just as the Germans finished burying their explosives in the sand, John C. Cullen, a young U.S. Coast Guardsman, came upon them during his regular patrol of the beach. The leader of the team, George Dasch, bribed the suspicious Cullen, and he accepted the money, promising to keep quiet. However, as soon as he passed safely back into the fog, he sprinted the two miles back to the Coast Guard station and informed his superiors of his discovery. After retrieving the German supplies from the beach, the Coast Guard called the FBI, which launched a massive manhunt for the saboteurs, who had fled to New York City.
Although unaware that the FBI was looking for them, Dasch and another saboteur, Ernest Burger, decided to turn themselves in and betray their colleagues, perhaps because they feared capture was inevitable after the botched landing. On July 15, Dasch called the FBI in New York, but they failed to take his claims seriously, so he decided to travel to FBI headquarters in Washington, D.C. On July 18, the same day that a second four-man team successfully landed at Ponte Verdra Beach, Florida, Dasch turned himself in. He agreed to help the FBI capture the rest of the saboteurs.
Burger and the rest of the Long Island team were picked up by June 22, and by June 27 the whole of the Florida team was arrested. To preserve wartime secrecy, President Franklin D. Roosevelt ordered a special military tribunal consisting of seven generals to try the saboteurs. At the end of July, Dasch was sentenced to 30 years in prison, Burger was sentenced to hard labor for life, and the other six Germans were sentenced to die. The six condemned saboteurs were executed by electric chair in Washington, D.C., on August 8. In 1944, two other German spies were caught after a landing in Maine. No other instances of German sabotage within wartime America has come to light.
In 1948, Dasch and Burger were freed by order of President Harry Truman, and they both returned to Germany.

OK. Vilmar and I agree. This week's award goes to 22-year-old Benjamin Vanderford of San Francisco, who thinks making fake beheading videos and spreading them all over the internet will help his "political career". He has to be a Democrat.We are declaring open-season on this particular Barking Moonbat due to his outstanding stupidity. Anyone who encounters this dipshit has an official license to beat the living shit out of him. Rewards will be posted later. Carry on.
Awarded To:
Benjamin "FORON" Vanderford

Permalink • Back In The Saddle Again - And Mad As Hell!
I just completed wiring up the home network: Windows XP Professional workstation, Red Hat Linux ES 3.0 Master Server, routers, printers, scanners, cameras, 5.1 sound system, PDA. Check! All systems normal, every piece on line and active. Houston, we are good to go for launch.Now, what the f**king hell is this shit-fer-brains excuse? This useless fucktard decided to make a beheading video and splash it all over the internet. Why? To help him get elected to political office in San Francisco (Moonbat Central).
This cretin is a "video game designer" and he wanted to enter politics on the Left Coast. He says, ""It was part of a stunt, but no one noticed it up until now." Holy jumpin' Judas Priest. Is this man mad. He sure as hell looks like it (reference picture below). Take a look at this creep, sitting in his underwear at his computer on the fucking floor. He obviously has no furniture (or brains). Notice the slack-jawed, drooling look on the moron's face.
This is the enemy, kids. People with no common sense, no valid aspirations, stoopid as hell .... and way too much hair on his body. Dipshit!
People like this need to be stood up against the wall and just shot. Every damned one of them. Shit! This kind of behavior by any member of homo sapiens just pisses me off no end. All he did was encourage more terrorist activity with this insane stunt. If I were in charge, I would send his bony ass on the first airplane to Iraq, drop him in the middle of the desert with a big sign tattooed to his chest saying "I AM A JEWISH AMERICAN AND I HATE MUSLIMS"!
Vilmar, what do you say? Let's give the Moonbat Of The Week Award to this FORON, OK?

Permalink • Remember the Worker Fired For Eating Pork?
Looks like now there is another worker fired. This time for refusing to work on Sundays and the woman's lawyer contends the employer (the library) did not respect her rights to religious beliefs.So now we have another religious firing except instead of a religious company wanting employees to observe and respect what they believe in we have a secular company refusing to respect and honor what the religious employee believes.
So, which is it? Can you or can you not get fired for violating someone's religious beliefs? And doesn't a company have a right to religious beliefs, too?
I assume the woman knew the place was open on Sundays so at one time or another she'd have to fill in or something. So what's the deal? Can't she skip a mass or service? Now compare that to the woman fired for eating pork.
I smell a rat somewhere. Just don't know where yet.

What a bunch of assclown barking moonbats!
How soon before someone crying out, "You're a stupid FORON" will find that person in jail? Or maybe getting arrested for contributing a letter to the editor criticizing a politician?
Sometimes I think only "termination with extreme prejudice" of leftists is the only solution.

This guy needs some serious bikini waxing all over his body. And laser hair removal. And acid based depilatories. And a shitload of razors.
Check out what he looked like as a child and what he's had to recently do. Can you hear me now!?!?!
OK, not the sharpest knife in the drawer, I'll grant you. Especially when you fear criminal elements and don't know enough to NOT put a cocked pistol in your pants. FORON! (for those who do not know what FORON is, take the first letter of the gerund form of a four letter word for fornication and add the last 4 letters of moron)

There you are in your nice new home for which you paid handsomely. You work hard all day. The weekend comes around and you want to suck down some brewskies, maybe take in a round of golf, go on a picnic with the family.But the hedges look a little tall. Hey, next week, right?
Along comes Dudley Do-Right of the local code enforcement. He cites your house. You read the citation and think, "man, this is nuts but, OK, I'll pay their silly little fine."
SILLY LITTLE FINE?
How about $2500 fines for not trimming your bushes---per day!!!
Read this by Thomas Sowell to get even more egregious examples of leftists in our midst and the consequences we can expect when we allow them.

Permalink • A Calling to Prayer
Some time ago I read where this one community was forced to accept the "calling to prayer" of a Muslim mosque in its neighborhood. The residents protested that it would generate too much noise since the calling begins early in the morning and happens 4 more times ending about 9 PM or so.Muslim ass kissers agreed with the Mosque saying that Christian churches make a lot of noise when they ring THEIR bells on Sunday. (OK, let's see now---ringing twice on Sundays = 2 times per week; ringing 5 times every day = 35 times per week. Which is more annoying?)
So I have a solution: brings these guys in from Hawaii, start small churches in predominantly Muslim neighborhoods and start their services at 1 in the morning and every hour on the hour until 5 AM.
Hey, what's fair is fair, right?

Quote of the DayThe power of accurate observation is commonly called cynicism by those who have not got it. George Bernard Shaw (1856 - 1950)
On This Day in History
1782 George Washington creates Order of the Purple Heart
1789 US War Department established
1882 Hatfields of south WV & McCoys of east Ky feud, 100 wounded or die
1915 The 100MPH Man
Driving a Peugeot, race-car driver Dario Resta broke the 100mph speed barrier on this day in 1915. He broke the record while winning the 100-mile Chicago Cup Challenge Race at the Maywood Board Speedway in Chicago. With an average speed of 101.86mph, this was the first event in which such speeds had been attained for a race of this length in the U.S.
1942 U.S. forces invade Guadalcanal
On this day in 1942, the U.S. 1st Marine Division begins Operation Watchtower, the first U.S. offensive of the war, by landing on Guadalcanal, one of the Solomon Islands.
On July 6, 1942, the Japanese landed on Guadalcanal Island and began constructing an airfield there. Operation Watchtower was the codename for the U.S. plan to invade Guadalcanal and the surrounding islands. During the attack, American troops landed on five islands within the Solomon chain. Although the invasion came as a complete surprise to the Japanese (bad weather had grounded their scouting aircraft), the landings on Florida, Tulagi, Gavutu, and Tananbogo met much initial opposition from the Japanese defenders.
But the Americans who landed on Guadalcanal met little resistance-at least at first. More than 11,000 Marines had landed, and 24 hours had passed, before the Japanese manning the garrison there knew of the attack. The U.S. forces quickly took their main objective, the airfield, and the outnumbered Japanese troops retreated, but not for long. Reinforcements were brought in, and fierce hand-to-hand jungle fighting ensued. "I have never heard or read of this kind of fighting," wrote one American major general on the scene. "These people refuse to surrender."
The Americans were at a particular disadvantage, being assaulted from both the sea and air. But the U.S. Navy was able to reinforce its troops to a greater extent, and by February 1943, the Japanese had retreated on secret orders of their emperor (so secret, the Americans did not even know it had taken place until they began happening upon abandoned positions, empty boats, and discarded supplies). In total, the Japanese had lost more than 25,000 men, compared with a loss of 1,600 by the Americans. Each side lost 24 warships.
The first Medal of Honor given to a Marine was awarded to Sgt. John Basilone for his fighting during Operation Watchtower. According to the recommendation for his medal, he "contributed materially to the defeat and virtually the annihilation of a Japanese regiment."

Aaaahhhhhh, Broadband At Last!
At last. I have broadband again. After traveling to Boston and moving to Alabama, I finally have broadband again. I might just have an orgasm over this.Is it any wonder Vilmar is so cranky, connecting through a dial-up connection all the time?
I'm almost back in the saddle again, kids. I've got the laptop on cable modem and will be wiring the main computer network up tomorrow.
Thanks to Vilmar for taking up the slack during my travels. Starting Sunday, I'll be back on-line full-time kicking Moonbat butt. Let's hear a round of applause for Vilmar. He's a real stand-up guy.
I'm working on "The Heavenly Poker Game, Act III" and "World War IV: The Arab Wars, Part III". Stay tuned.

Permalink • McCain’s Kissing of The Poodle’s Ass
There is currently a shitstorm of activity regarding the ad the Vietnam Vets Against John Kerry have put out.We've not heard the end of it and I suspect that somehow these guys will get egg smeared on their faces. I sincerely hope not but sometimes when we tend to be rabidly hateful of someone we tend to do and say stupid shit. Again, I hope this is not one of those instances.
So what's got my knickers in a wad? John McCain. I truly dislike this guy. And I absolutely do not trust him as far as I could throw him.
McCain came out yesterday against the ad. He wants the Vets to pull it. He wants President Bush to denounce it.
As far as I am concerned McCain is doing this for one reason and one reason only---he wants payback from Kerry should he (GOD FORBID!) get elected President or some sort of tit-for-tat in the Senate should Kerry lose.
As for McCain's demands, I have three conditions:
--- it will be done as soon as he disowns the McCain Feingold bill which precipitated the formation of 527 groups and allowed these sorts of adds to be broadcast AND passes legislation to close that loophole (not propose legislation, PASS legislation in BOTH Houses!)
--- that George Soros immediately pull back funding the MoveOn.org and other PACs he's funding
--- that all similar ads by democrat 527 groups stop running
Then and only then will McCain rise one notch above asshole, scum-sucking, ass kissing, bottom feeding opportunistic fraud..
UPDATE: No sooner said than done, there's already one Vet who was against Kerry and is now retracting some of what he's said and done. I told you!!!
It is starting.

Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:
