In the wake of the terribleness of the Charleston, South Carolina, shooting, South Carolina Republican Governor Nikki Haley called for the removal of the Confederate flag from the state capitol grounds. The hue and cry against the media landscape, politically correct corporations, and progressive wolves, chimed in. After that first media time period, it was clear to any thinking person that if that flag had not flown over South Carolina that the killer Dylann Roof would have turned out to be a lovely kind gentle young progressive activist. But as we all know the symbol of the confederacy made him do it.
For at least 10 years Nikki Haley walked under that flag and in the aftermath of the killings discovered it over her Republican head and demanded the removal of the flag less than a week after that 21-year-old white boy gunned down nine people in a historical African American church.
That put blood in the water and the politically correct piranhas began to gather. The mayor of Charleston, Joe Riley Jr., said that somehow if we had taken away Mr. Roof’s symbol of misguided superiority and bigotry, that hate-filled shooting would have never happened.
Addendum #1 — Never wanting to offend, Walmart pulls down all Confederate merchandise, but continues to sell the Iranian and Cuban flags. The Iranian flag was created in the wake of the Islamic revolution that brought the Ayatollahs into power in 1979, and kidnapped the American personnel at the U.S. Embassy.
Walmart is also selling a canvas featuring Fidel Castro that includes the quote, “I am Fidel Castro and we have come to liberate Cuba.”
All of us have read about the Taliban in Afghanistan blowing up monuments to Buddhism. We also know what ISIL and ISIS are doing in Syria, destroying what historians are calling the antiquities.
Addendum #2 — Washington, D.C. residents say take down the Jefferson Memorial and rename Washington, D.C. Dateline Atlanta NAACP says, “We can sandblast Robert E. Lee, Stonewall Jackson, and Jefferson Davis from the Stone Mountain Park Memorial.”
But medieval Europeans from time to time in religious rages over numerous plagues, would go about digging up bodies thinking somehow these long dead were responsible for current tragedies. I believe that also applied to Vampires.
Addendum #3 — Memphis’ mayor literally wants to dig up a Confederate general and move him. Memphis’ A. C. Wharton has called for the removal of the grave of Nathan Bedford Forrest from a city park. In quotes he told the press, “These relics must be moved,” as though somehow the first Grand Dragon of the KKK, would be responsible for evil today. The city of Dallas is considering removing the statue of Robert E. Lee. These people are the American mullahs.
CNN anchor Don Lemon has floated the idea of changing the Jefferson Memorial since the 3rd President of the U.S. was a slave owner. The fleur-de-lis, the heraldic symbol of the French monarchy is now being considered to be a racist symbol by Tulane University as the French were in charge of Louisiana in 1724, when a discriminatory Black Code was adopted. That, of course, is also the symbol of the New Orleans Saints. Politically correct sports owners quake in their boots. It’s been estimated there are about 200 schools in the south that are named after Confederate leaders and military members.
In California, Assembly Woman Lorena Gonzales, D-San Diego has sent a letter to the San Diego Unified School District, demanding a rename of the school that bears the name Robert E. Lee.
Progressives at the University of Texas have signed a petition calling for the removal of a statue of George Washington due to his owning slaves. Texas public schools are jumping on the bandwagon to shun symbols and dump historic figures. It isn’t just Democrats, Mitch McConnell wants the state capitol in Kentucky to remove the statue of Jefferson Davis, (how many times do you think Mitch walked past that statue?).
New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu calls for the removal of the Robert E. Lee statue and renaming Lee Circle.
Saving the best for last, New York film critic Lou Lumenick wants to ban the motion picture Gone with the Wind, and adding insult to injury, The Dukes of Hazzard because the Confederate flag was painted on the top of the car General Lee.
Summary: It’s all been done before. In the novel 1984 Winston Smith rewrote the past so Big Brother can control the future. The Fuhrer knew how to do it, the people around Emperor Hirohito knew how to do it, and those screaming to rename Washington, D.C., know how to do it. In fact it’s already been done. It was called Stalingrad.
Welcome to the new America Sharia.

If this were three months ago, there is no way I would’ve said to myself, “Peter you are going to be sitting down and trying (with great help) to write a column for the Chronicle about a trip to Lebanon, and a chance to meet Hezbollah.” But here I am sitting in the Chronicle office, surrounded by ink-stained scribes, talking out the story of my trip to Lebanon.
This all has its very strange beginning, a phone call from longtime friend and legendary car dealer John Medved. Medved tells me that I have to meet this interesting priest that he’s gotten to know, and he gives me a date and a time to be in his office. It’s before Cinco de Mayo, snowing, and off I go to the giant Medved autoplex. This was first time I met the priest, Father Andre Mahanna, a priest in the Maronite tradition of the Catholic Church of Lebanon.
He begins to tell me about what is happening to Christian people in the Middle East. John Medved, a very devout Catholic, wants me to help gain attendance for an ecumenical prayer breakfast at Father Andre’s church. Father Andre, Medved, myself and one of Medved’s staffers go to lunch. Outside it’s a snowstorm. Inside at lunch, I’m captured by the utter brilliance of this priest. He speaks English, Arabic, French, Italian and a smattering of Greek.
I’ve written about all of this before — as a little boy, my parents were a long way from what people considered middle class. My mother used to take us in the summer to the Carnegie Library and we would take out books — six each every two weeks. I read Ivanhoe, Richard the Lionheart, Robin Hood, and Men of Iron. I read about the crusaders (when they were the good guys). We sang “Onward Christian Soldiers.” It was the period of my life that preceded when I thought dinosaurs were everything.
In that period, I thought being a feudal knight and making a clear path to the Holy Land for devout people would’ve been the ultimate job.
That was also the beginning of me being drawn to the mysterious Templars; knights. Even later in life I find myself so intrigued by Templars, Jacques de Molay, why Friday the 13th was an ominous day, and do the Templars actually have the lost cup of Christ? PS — Any of you who saw “Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade” have an idea of what a Templar is so I mentioned the Templars to Father Andre. His eyes lit up and I thought, anyone who knows that history of the Templar deserves my affection and my attention.
Using the power of 710 KNUS, we were going to fill up the prayer breakfast that John Medved had wanted me to help Father Andre promote. It was mission complete. As they say, “we sold the joint out.”
By this time, I became fully involved in reading about what ISIS was doing to Christian people in parts of Iraq and Syria that have become captured lands. ISIS (Barack Obama’s JV team) systematically and brutally murders, rapes and kills any and all that stand in their path to create the Islamic state.
The Islamic state is a Jihad-waging Sunni-extremist group that hopes to create an Islamic nation in the modern Middle East. ISIS was formed by several fringe movements that formed into a single large force. No one is quite sure of the number of fighters, but it certainly is close to 30,000 Middle Eastern nationals and foreigners that make up ISIS.
They have been successful against Syrian and Iraqi governments, as well as other insurgent groups. As we write, ISIS forces now control Ramadi, the capital of Iraq’s Anbar province; they also have solidified footholds in Libya to expand their reach. ISIS — ISIL — I believe has an operational presence in the U.S. as well. The ultimate plan is for the entire modern Middle East to become the caliphate — an Islamic state that will stretch from Kuwait through Jordan, Saudi Arabia and of course, Lebanon.
I became so intrigued with all of this, thinking to myself — we are watching history happen in the Middle East and that I absolutely should go. But for the life of me, I can’t explain to anyone why I’ve done this. I’ve bought my own plane tickets, paid for my own hotel room. And if anyone knows me, I’m like crime — crime don’t pay. But there I was in Beirut, riding in a car from the Beirut airport with a couple of young men who I have never met in my life — a couple of Maronite kids — and we were off to the see the Wizard.
ISIS fighters are about 90-100 miles from Beirut on the other side of a mountain range in Syria. Beirut is an incredibly beautiful, cosmopolitan enlightened city with some of the most beautiful women I’ve ever seen. It’s vibrant and exciting but I’m sure it has elements of danger. At the end of the second day, I was on a rooftop restaurant with some members of the faculty of the Lebanese Maronite university, surrounded by beautiful people, the latest fashions and laughing. My first thoughts were that these are the French in 1938-39. They are having the times of their lives, going to see Charlie Chaplin films, American jazz, smoking cigarettes and going to the follies, and on the other side of that border are the Nazis. By the prickling of my thumb, something wicked this way comes.
The Lebanese people that I got to know, Muslim and Christian alike, had one principal question, Why did George Bush invade Iraq? They used the term “Twin Towers” — they don’t say “9/11.”
I am beginning to realize that there was a wake up in the United States of America that people were beginning to see that Saddam Hussein had nothing to do with the attacks of 9/11; on this statement of truth, the Lebanese are way ahead of us. In fact, most of the information supports that the Saudi Arabians were involved and not the Iraqis. In fact, I’ve tried to make the case that ISIS-ISIL is George Bush’s Frankenstein. That is, if Saddam was still there, they would not be.
The other interesting question they asked me is if they thought Barack Obama is a Muslim. They are all great Internet readers and know that I am known as a “birther.” So they would ask me if I believed him to be a Muslim — I told them that I have no idea as to the answer to both those questions. But then the most critical was asked: What did I think of Hezbollah? And do I think that they are a terrorist group?
Today in the war against ISIS-ISIL, there are three factions fighting against them. In the north, it’s Kurdish people and in Syria, it’s Bassar al-Assad, the dictator of Syria, today’s version of Saddam Hussein, and last but not least is the Hezbollah. In fact, outside of Baghdad today, the Shia militia is backed by Iran and the Hezbollah, fighting for the American backed gout in Baghdad, the party of God, in Lebanon. And that’s it. Barack Obama’s position that al-Ashir Assad should go, which is equally as stupid as George Bush pushing out Saddam Hussein. If al-Assad goes, it’s “Katie, bar the door.”
And Hezbollah and the Lebanese army will be all that stands between the Lebanese people and the viscious ISIS murderers. When I told some people one night that I knew this all to be true, they asked me if I wanted to meet the head of Hezbollah. And so that next morning, I was taken by car to meet Mohammad Raad. After going through a number of checkpoints, and driving in the city of Beirut, I was ushered into a large room, and there I met Mohammad Raad, President of Loyalty to the Resistance bloc of Hezbollah. I was told that I was the first western media guy that he ever met.
We were only supposed to have a limited amount of time. We ended up talking for two hours. I told him that in the late ’70s when the Soviets invaded Afghanistan, I was part of a fundraising committee that was called “The Committee for a Free Afghanistan.” I was on the committee with a lot of very great people and some doctors at Children’s Hospital; we managed to get some children into the U.S. that had been brutalized by the war. He kind of sat up a little in his chair when I told him that and I told him that members of the mujahideen had come twice to Denver. When I stared into their deep black eyes, I knew right then that the Soviets were not going to defeat them. And I said to him, in that time period, that the mujahideen were heroes in the West.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend. These were the men who were fighting the Soviet Union. We were locked in the Cold War. The Soviets were our enemies and the mujahideen were our friends. In fact, they were seen as heroes. Today Hezbollah is fighting the enemies of our country, the Unites States of America, and it’s almost the opposite of the mujahideen of the late ’70s. I’ve seen what ISIS is capable of doing — these are the Nazis. This is 1939 and as FDR and Winston Churchill made a decision, after the invasion of the Soviet Union by Adolf Hitler, it went back to back Stalin.
When we talk about the contemporary world — when I tell you what’s coming our way from these barbarians, religious fanatics, crazed killers, ISIS and ISIL, it’s imperative that you believe me. I don’t believe American foreign policy can do much, if anything, in that part of the world. The enormous mistakes of the Bush administration, followed by the Obama administration are done. But we must help save the incredible people of Lebanon. I visited centers of Iraqi and Syrian refugees — Christians who had crossed the desert to get away from ISIS and found refuge in Lebanon.
When I initially went to Lebanon, it was to help Father Andre find help for the 1.3-1.6 million people fleeing from ISIS. Lebanon is the end of the line. The population of Lebanon is about 4 million people. Lebanon is about the size of the state of Delaware. They just increased their population by a quarter. It’s important to know, Lebanese are not Arabs; they are Phoenicians. They gave the world the alphabet. They taught the world commerce.
I stayed close to an 11th century French crusader castle; I walked on Roman roads, and I saw where Phoenicians sailed out to begin trade in an ancient world. The invaders enter through Lebanon and always leave Lebanon to go to Spain. I saw a bunker where the German army was during WWII and remnants of the invasion of the PLO. The Israeli army has come and gone; the Syrian army has come and gone; the Romans have come and gone; and the French have come and gone. If ISIS comes, it’s not going to go. The religious war is not being fought in Israel. The religious war for Western civilization is being fought in Lebanon. The Maronites celebrate Christianity as it was done in the centuries following Jesus and they continue that tradition. If the light goes out in Lebanon, the light is going out in the world.
I got back on the airplane by myself at 8 o’clock in the morning two days before Ramadan was set to begin. That’s a long way from reading Ivanhoe realizing that perhaps we need to be modern Templars. And I’m not at all talking about the most overused statements in recent memory, “Boots on the ground.” That has gotten this country nowhere. But rather to find a way to help the right people defeat what’s waiting for all of us.
The picture that I am showing in the column is called the “Nun,” the 14th letter in the Arabic alphabet; it stands for “Nazarene,” equivalent to the put-down words for Jews and Blacks. (You know them, I don’t need to tell you those words.) So as these new barbarians come into and capture small towns and cities, they find out who the Christians are — be they Coptics, Maronites, Orthodox, or evangelical Protestants; they mark their houses with the Nun using spray paint, reminiscent of the Kristallnacht when the Nazis marked with the star of David, broke their windows, burned temples, and stores so the brown shirts knew who they were.
Only now, when the next wave comes behind the markers, everyone in the homes is killed and they play soccer with the heads of the children. Hardly a JV team. I don’t know what I’m going to do next, but I know that maybe for the first time in my life, I see something that has to be done. We must stand against these medieval monsters.

It’s always best to open with a joke: What do your Colorado Rockies and evangelist Billy Graham have in common? Answer: Both can make a stadium full of people stand up and scream, “Jesus Christ!”
Baseball curses are legendary in American’s pastime. Most of the curses are the result of greed, disrespect or questionable decision making on the part of the owners. However, it generally lies squarely on the fans.
The most legendary baseball curse is the “Curse of the Bambino.” The story goes something like this. There once was a great baseball team named the Boston Red Sox (aka your Colorado Rockies before the greedy Monfort family kicked the hot dog vendors off of their land). The Red Sox won the first ever World Series in 1903. For the next 10 years, like the New England Patriots, they won it five more times. They owed most of later success to Babe Ruth, aka “The Bambino.”
And then in 1919, the Red Sox traded the Babe to the New York Yankees. It was 86 more years before the Red Sox won the World Series in 2004. It has been talked about many times, as baseball historians laughed up their sleeves, that the Sox ownership used the Bambino money to finance the Broadway musical No No Nanette. Everything was attempted to defeat the curse, including the fans in Boston trying to “reverse the curse.”
Joke: Why can’t the Colorado Rockies use the Internet?
Answer: They can’t get three w’s in a row.
So last year the city of Denver suddenly began forcing a 20-plus-year-old ordinance keeping hot dog vendors (hard-working men and women, as opposed to the Monfort family themselves) away from the ball park. For some very interesting reasons those rules have been ignored since the beginning of the opening of Coors Field.
If you remember, as Gomer Pyle always said, “Shazaam” — that happened very suddenly. Afterwards, the Monforts spent 10 million dollars on the ballpark’s new rooftop deck and then unveiled their food and beverage area. I know that this sounds just like a coincidence, but mark my words — I searched on the Internet to find then Denver Public Works spokeswoman Christine Downs who said, “for whatever reason, we lost part of that agreement and allowed vendors to come in. They stopped the vendors when the food deck opened.” So as you go and take the family unit to see your Colorado Rockies, you can no longer grab a cheap hot dog, or for that matter, any food items on the street. You must pay the Monforts.
Another legendary curse is the “Curse of the Colonel.” Thirty years ago, a team called the Hanshin Tigers won the Japanese world series in an upset over the Seibu Lions. Fans were celebrating and running over a bridge overlooking a local canal. As luck would have it, there was a life-size statue of Colonel Sanders standing in front of a nearby KFC. The crowd seized it and threw the Colonel into the river in honor of MVP Randy Bass. Their losing streak continues to this day.
In 2009, Japanese divers were sent into the canal and retrieved the corpse of the Colonel. Lions fans were hoping that recovering the Colonel would break the curse. Tough saké. Their losing streak continues. It is now known in Japan as the “Curse of the Colonel.” If you are paying attention at home, it’s a food curse.
I began this last year placing the hot dog curse not on the players, and not on the fans, but on Dick and Charlie. I guarantee that your Colorado Rockies will win again. All those fun-loving owners have to do is allow the hot dog vendors to return to Coors Field much like the swallows to Capistrano or the buzzards back to Ohio. Winning will begin again.
But if the Monforts don’t let the hot dog vendors return, our curse may last as long as the legendary Billy Goat Curse placed on the Chicago Cubs which continues to this very day. In 1945 the owner of the Billy Goat Tavern, William Sianis, tried to bring his pet goat Murphy to Wrigley Field for game 4 of the World Series. Sianis and Murphy were both enjoying the game when the owner, PK Wrigley, who was a member of the lucky sperm club, threw them both out claiming the goat smelled. The billy goat left, and it’s been downhill for the Cubs ever since.
As you can see, curses are real — in baseball they are more real. The Monforts are acting like a Gambino Crime Family protection racket. This is a shakedown. Suddenly those regulations were enacted. What — the Monforts aren’t greedy enough? A lesson in life: always follow the money. It used to be cool getting water and peanuts for two bucks, sitting in the $5 Rockpile seats. Take me out to the ball game. The Monforts won’t play ball with the hot dog vendors. And luck won’t play centerfield for Dick and Charlie.
You gotta love it, and the curse will continue until that magic moment when the Monforts allow the hot dog vendors to return. Mark my words, all of you fans, the gentle giants of the beef industry (as the Monforts have been named) are never going to field a winning team for Rockies fans. Boston broke the curse in 2004. It’s going to be a long time before the Rockies break theirs.
So what do you call 40 millionaires sitting around a television watching the World Series? The Colorado Rockies. Love it. Live it. Learn it. And remember it as the fall classic heads your way in the years to come — play ball!

It is not often that I can save readers of the Glendale Cherry Creek Chronicle literally hundreds of thousands of dollars of their life savings but this, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, children of all ages, is the time. I recently received a mailer at my home sent to me courtesy of the Church of Scientology. I read it carefully. They are going to save my life, straighten out my misguided view of the world, and, as they say in show business, clean up my act. Now because I’ve been on the Scientology list of treasonous people, I’m more than hip to the theology of the Commodore’s church.
But if, for some unforeseen reason, you or any of your family members are big enough idiots to respond to that mailer, wander into 2340 Blake Street in downtown Denver, or make that phone call, you will be grifted into one of the great cons run in this country in quite a while. (With the exception of Barrack Obama’s life story, the truth about the Clintons and how there were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, this pooch ranks right up there with Elvis ain’t dead, 9/11 was an inside job, and the innocence of Patsy Ramsey.)
Folks, have you seen the HBO documentary titled Going Clear: Scientology and the Prison of Belief? Damn. The excellent documentary demonstrates that Scientology is a dangerous, frightening, aggressive attempt to lure people into a cult, clean out their wallets and destroy their families. It comes from a book by Lawrence Wright about his life in Scientology. I’ve been jerking the Scientology people around on the radio for as far back as I can remember. But in everyday Scientology, as you have to pay to receive the beliefs of the church, I will save you the money.
Now if I wanted to go and become a practicing Roman Catholic, I would simply go to my closest Catholic church and ask the priest to give me religious instruction or at least tell me what the church believes. And the same is probably true in Judaism, any Protestant denomination (with the exception of snake handling — I think that takes a little work), or if I dare walk into a mosque and ask the imam. Those things aren’t that tough but Scientology has a price tag. So, this is what they believe.
Centuries ago in a galaxy far far away (I know, it sounds like Star Wars), there was a really bad character called Xenu, an evil dictator. So 75 million years ago, the galactic confederation had 26 stars, 76 planets, including Earth which was then known as Teegeeact. If you have gotten this far in the column, I have just saved you thousands of dollars, because you don’t get to know that until you get over certain Operating Thetan levels. The planets were overpopulated, the evil Xenu was about to get kicked out (much like Richard Nixon), so he plotted and eliminated these people with the assistance of a psychiatrist. Have you ever been to any form of demonstration and seen a guy in a suit and seen a sign that says Psychiatry Kills? That, my friends, is a Scientologist.
So, Xenu paralyzes these people, freezes them and ships them to earth where they go down into volcanos. (That’s why on the cover of L. Ron Hubbard’s Dienetics, their Bible, there is a picture of the volcano.) But to top it off, hydrogen bombs are put into volcanos, all detonated at once. So now these souls, known as Thetans, were blown up in the air. Captured by the evil Xenu, they were sucked into vacuum tubes and people were taken to movies, forced to watch 3D movies and forced to watch TVs for 36 days. (I’m not making this stuff up.) And they are probably now in your body, and you’ve got to get rid of them. Groups of rebels known as the Loyal Officers overthrew Xenu and locked him away into the electronic trap from which he has not yet escaped. Some of these clowns believe this is in the Pyrenees on earth.
The cost of learning all of this so far is about $6,500. See the savings you made by reading the Chronicle? These people are dangerous. You can watch the HBO documentary, read dozens of books about them and they are recruiting people through the U.S. Mail and national TV ads.
I kind of rest my case, but if you are willing to contact me at KNUS radio and hold a couple of tin cans wired to an old E-meter, I will be willing to get those bad Thetans out of your body and you’ll live the rest of your life clear.
You just got a quick overview of Scientology. Have any of them contact me and tell me this column isn’t true. The good news is Lisa Marie Presley has left the cult, just as her father has left the building. See you sometime later here on Teegeeact.
In the words of the late great Jackie Gleason, “homina, homina, homina.”

Michael Jackson said settlements out of court do not equate guilt. How many protesters have been arrested in Denver since the Democratic National Convention, Occupy Denver and the attacks on the police monument? Remember, we’ve had two people arrested for a protest on the Denver police memorial for fallen officers. These were “Paid Protesters” — now known as “PPs.”
So as we’re told, about 200 people marched from Lincoln Park to police headquarters on 17th Street. The number of PPs isn’t clear but the damage done was more than adequate. These PPs trashed the equivalent of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, the Vietnam Wall, and the WWII monument. The names on that wall of the men and women, minorities and Anglos, represent men and women whose lives were taken protecting the citizens of Colorado.
To understand why they would do this is beyond my level of comprehension. I’m not the smartest guy in the world but pouring paint on the names of the fallen, desecrating the American flag (later to be denied by police spokesman Sonny Jackson — but more on that later) and writing “F*** the cops” on the back of the memorial is below my IQ level.
Now as we know, Matthew Goldberg, 23, and Robert Guerrero, 25, are out on $5,000 bail. Two days after the attack, Denver police spokesperson Sonny (Santino) Jackson, a onetime 9News cameraman, told a gathering of the Denver press that Old Glory was not desecrated, and that no names of officers were papered on the sides of the police building and the monument to be marked for harm.
Because of my radio show and individual police officers sending us photos sent with their cell phones, we were instantly able to disprove Santino’s claims. On our website, we had pictures of the defacing of the memorial, the flag on the ground, names of the officers that they wanted damaged and one particularly beautiful picture of a Denver police car burning beneath which they had printed “Sometimes dreams do come true.”
Sonny did have his Ron Ziegler moment (you all remember Ron, Tricky Dick Nixon’s spokesperson), and then Brian Maass at Channel 4 obtained a video taken out of the window at police headquarters showing these protesters and one man kneeling down taking red paint out of a backpack and dumping it over the top. These brave men were wearing bandanas to hide their identity. (Dude, where is your strength of conviction?) As Brian Maass said, “This memorial bears the names of dozens of fallen officers,” and from Brian’s video we learned that Denver police officers were inside the building with the doors chained and were looking out the window watching it happen.
For the life of me I don’t how the men and women of the Denver Police Department were able to maintain their cool. Later that week, Mayor Hancock appeared on Mike Rosen’s KOA radio show telling Mike’s audience that it happened so quickly that it was over before we knew it. We are told that that same line was used for Denver’s Mayor Hancock by the girls at Players and Sugar.
So Sonny Jackson lied about the incident to the mainstream press. In fact, on the following week when a vigil was called for people to come to the memorial on a Wednesday, the chief, the mayor and Sonny Jackson went there glad-handing individuals, thanking people for what they do. Hell’s bells. They are the reason it happened. And, of course, like the cover of Sports Illustrated, the Mayor comes out and says, “I support Chief White.” That came the day after the cops’ union asked for White’s resignation. I don’t understand how this city works. I don’t understand how principal media in this city works. These lies and actions of the administration have gone on unchallenged. The mayor will get re-elected. The chief will keep his gig. The television stations will continue to tell you how great it is that Peyton Manning has taken a pay-cut, that Dinger should remain as the Rockies’ mascot, and the hot little weather girl will tell you, “Danger, weather is coming our way.”
What I believe we are seeing in Denver is the Fergusonization of the media. We are witnessing the Denver media turn Jessica Hernandez into Michael Brown of Ferguson, Mo. When they first spoke with the people who they were led to believe were Jessica’s parents, they needed an interpreter. Now they appear in The Denver Post speaking English. We have come to a fork in the road. Michael Hancock is running virtually unopposed, the police are the bad guys, and the thugs are the good guys.
So on May 3 we do our second NC1 Honor Run, a motorcycle event we now do annually, named after Sergeant Dave Baldwin, Jefferson County Sheriff’s Department, killed in the line of duty. This year we are raising funds for John Adsit, the Denver police officer who was hospitalized December 3, when he was protecting hundreds of students from East High School as they marched on the high school chanting a hoax, “Hands up! Don’t shoot!” It never happened. Another fabricated anti-cop statement.
So the next time you are being burglarized or robbed call the ACLU.
