Lt. Colonel Jeffery Chessani

After devoting 20 years of his life to defend ours, Lt. Colonel Jeffery Chessani, USMC, faces criminal charges because of a legitimate combat action taken by four of his marines after being ambushed in Haditha, Iraq on November 19, 2005, the so-called Haditha Massacre – a massacre that never happened.

Time magazine with the help of insurgent propaganda operatives in Iraq and Congressman John Murtha created a media firestorm, calling all of the marines involved “cold blooded murderers” before the investigation had even been completed.

A military judge dismissed all charges against Lt. Colonel Chessani, but the politicians in the Pentagon appealed the dismissal. Jeff Chessani is the scapegoat they must convict to satisfy the liberal, anti-American media and John Murtha.

I've Arrived

Well, I made it to the ROK Wednesday… or was it Thursday? It’s going to take me a little time to get accustomed to living in the future. I’ll hopefully get enough of my affairs in order to start adding links and do a little webmastering later this week.

I do want to say that Gary Fouse over at fousesquawk (if you’re not reading it you should) was correct when he advised me to watch out for the Korean girls. They are among the most beautiful in the world and well worth watching out for. I’m watching Gary, thanks for the heads-up.

Moving to Korea

I'm packing up my stuff and moving to South Korea. I'll be there for three months or a year and a half depending on how well my plan works. Website updates and link additions may be slow to nonexistent until I get settled in.

Hate mail from Rian Koch

I get mail! And this time it includes a bonus death threat.

From: Rian Koch (rianandjulia@arcor.de) on Sunday, June 29, 2008

Message: Dear Bruce,
As I lay here in my hospital bed in Rammstein, Germany, I can only hope people with your mentality will one day suffer the torture and killing my family has experienced. You see, for the last several years I have become an expert torturer and killer. I am responsible for 11 kills, including 2 women, and 1 child. Some of these people I killed with my bare hands. I did all of this killing fully legal, backed by good ole Uncle Sam. Have you ever seen a child with blood pouring out of his ears? I have. Now my father, and two brothers are dead. The only people left in my family are my mother and I. Remember Saving Private Ryan, well, I'm not a private, actually I'm a highly decorated, purple heart winning Marine, and I love my country, even now, but my name happens to be Rian, with an I. But, Bush and all his NeoCon cronies have now totally destroyed the American economy (look at the dollar vs. the euro), and made a great deal of people miserable, which is a ripe time for revolution. I know this because I earned a Master's Degree in American History at Illinois State University, and because I've spent the last 5 years in Iraq. Anyway, when I get out of this hospital bed, I'm coming to get you. I know your address, so you can be easily found. I don't know what I'll do yet, use my brains or my brawn, or both, but you will definitely know when I arrive. Thank you for killing my family and making my life miserable. See you soon,
Herr Rian Koch
US Marine
Proud Patriot
"Kill em all, then let God sort em out"

Hello Rian,
Thanks for the mail. I always enjoy a good laugh at the expense of a good, old fashioned low-life, anti-American commie liberal. You're a real piece of work aren't you? You claim to be Marine, an American, and a proud patriot, when you are none of these, you are simply a liar. If you have an opinion stand up on your own two feet and let it be known. Shout it out brother. Only an immature man-child would try to invoke stature and sympathy by hiding behind false claims as you have done.

In previous displays of Bush derangement syndrome you claim to have moved to Germany to escape "AmeriKKKA." http://liberalscum.com/irrational.html

Here's some advice, when you come around my house, I suggest using "brawn" (LOL) because you obviously have sh!t for brains, and bring your "A" game son, you don't know who or what your messing with and I'm so going to enjoy the look on your face when I "drop the hammer" on your worthless arse.

Let me give to you straight "Herr Koch." I believe the best defense is a good offense and now I'm coming after you, legally. I’m one litigious son of a bitch. You've made a big mistake and you'll be hearing from me again real soon.

Get a lawyer.
Best Regards, Bruce

Blame Congress For Gas Prices

By Kelley Wright

As you fill your gas tank for your next summer trip, ask yourself how gas prices have reached current nosebleed levels. For many, the easy answer is to curse the "greedy" oil companies. Consider for a moment an alternative reason.

Oil is a commodity and therefore is subject to the laws of supply and demand. In the simplest of terms, when demand begins to put pressure on supply, prices go up; simple Econ 101. In a supply-and-demand situation, there are really only two options; lower demand or increase supply. I don't anticipate that the demand for oil will decrease, as Americans love their cars and love to drive. This leaves us with increasing the supply.

I know there are other fuel and energy alternatives, but none are mature enough or as readily accessible as oil and its byproducts at the present time. They may be in the future, but that doesn't help us out at the gas pump today. While research and development of fuel and energy alternatives will and must go forward, the supply of oil in the interim can be increased and America has vast resources that can be tapped into today.

Blocked in D.C.
Investors Business Daily estimates there are 1 trillion barrels of oil trapped in shale in the U.S. and Canada. Retrieving just a 10th of it would quadruple our current oil reserves. There is a pool of oil in the Gulf of Mexico that is estimated to be as large as any in the Middle East. There is an equally large pool believed to be in Alaska.

The Chinese are attempting to tap into the Gulf oil supply by drilling diagonally from Cuba. I wonder what environmental safeguards they are using?

The fact is that there are environmentally safe methods of extracting oil from shale and drilling in both the Gulf and Alaska. Congress, however, continues to block these efforts. Just last week, the Senate voted to block any extraction from shale in Colorado. In essence, they voted to make your trips to the gas station more expensive, to make air travel more expensive, and to make heating your home more expensive.

That's something to think about in an election year.
