I recently returned from one of the greatest trips I’ve been lucky enough to take. I was in Europe and on Normandy Beach on June 6, the anniversary of the Allies coming ashore.
The day that I left, The Denver Post announced that it had terminated a good friend of mine, Terry Frei. He was a sports columnist who had been named Colorado Sportswriter of the Year four times, and now was out of work for tweeting that it made him “uncomfortable” that Takuma Sato, a Japanese driver had won the Indy 500 on Memorial Day. Terry told me his tweet came after visiting Fort Logan to put flowers on the grave of his father Jerry Frei. His father had spent four years between his sophomore and junior years at Wisconsin flying P38 fighter planes in the South Pacific. He flew 67 missions, 300 combat hours. In fact, Terry’s book Third Down And A War To Go is a great read about men and women in the Second World War.
On June 6, I was at Pegasus Bridge, a very important site on the way to the key village of Sainte Mere Eglise. There had been a mandate from the British military to hold that bridge on the morning of the D-Day landings. We arrived in a very beautiful and comfortable Mercedes Benz bus. I was standing there watching parades and speaking with old British veterans who had been there on that terrible day, including the man pictured here, a 94-year-old British Pathfinder. And then I noticed a very expensive Porsche, its turbo whining, crossing the bridge. Lots of tourists gather on those days. And I thought of Terry. I knew he had been fired as we left the United States.
Now, how about a show of hands in our reading audience. How many people know about Ferdinand Porsche? Beloved Porsche cars, Volkswagens, of course, the people’s car. But how many of you know about Tiger I and Tiger II tanks? And, of course, the Royal Tiger tank? The Panzer VIII Maus and you all remember the V-1 flying bomb. Freddie was a member of the Nazi Party and also the SS. How quickly we’re allowed to forget that and condemn Terry Frei. I should remind you that the Porsche family didn’t have any problem employing “slave labor.” After it was over, he did a couple of years in prison but what the hey. Forgive and forget is what I always say. But not when it comes to Terry?
So there I was on Pegasus Bridge arriving in a Mercedes watching a Porsche cross and having exactly the same thoughts Terry Frei had. At this point do you think Chuck Bonniwell should fire me or better yet throw the switch on the award-winning morning show on KNUS? Just so you know, Dr. Porsche was arrested, did 22 months and went back to making money in 1950 when he introduced the Porsche sports car. That apparently was lost on The Denver Post who has no problem taking ads for Mercedes cars and trucks.
If we’re going back in history to attempt to control the future watch your step. Fake history is more dangerous that fake news. This month’s “Running Dog” award goes to The Denver Post columnist Diane Carman. She said Colorado should remove its monuments to genocide. Fascinating. She names second Territorial Governor John Evans who founded the University of Denver, William Byers, founder of the Rocky Mountain News, Kit Carson, George Custer and Sir George Gore. Oh aghast! Oh the humanity! Again she keeps her job at the Post and Terry is gone. Diane, what you should do, as well as the other managers at The Denver Post, is give everything you ever earned, back. Are you really any different than those cavalry soldiers and militiamen who did those terrible things? You’re just living off what they did — you, Mac Tully, the entire bunch. Give everything you have in Colorado back to the tribes. Because you made Terry Frei give his back.
Those who do not know the past are doomed to repeat it. Except at The Denver Post.
And by the way, after over 30 years of working at The Denver Post he woke up one morning to find out a racist had been writing columns at The Denver Post and he had to go. And The Denver Post allowed Terry to dangle in the wind and be destroyed by other newspapers and media outlets across the country. Horrible things were said about one of the nicest guys I know.
I’d like to add one thing. We’ve written columns about Brandon Marshall and the lies he told about what the police allegedly did to him in Florida. A month or two ago Terry was in my radio show studio and I brought up Marshall. He asked me off air not to continue that line of questioning. So here’s the conclusion. Terry gave to the Post what it would not give to him. Loyalty, trust and the benefit of the doubt.
Think about it.

The Glendale Cherry Creek Chronicle and the morning shows on 710 KNUS seem to be the only two media outlets where the truth can be told about the corrupt Bush administration and the offices of the Governor of Colorado, the Mayor of Colorado Springs and now seemingly a lot of current Republican and Democrat office holders who supported John Suthers to be head of the FBI.
In spite of enormous outcry from a number of political hacks, we will continue writing about the corruption the Saudi Arabians have visited on the state of Colorado, media outlets, major law firms and influence peddlers. (See the Miller Hudson Letter in this month’s “We Get Letters…”)
Once more let me take you back in time. John Suthers was the Attorney General for the State of Colorado when Republican then-Governor and Bush supporter Bill Owens sent him to Saudi Arabia. That was in 2006. There he visited King Abdullah, Crown Prince Sultan and the Homaidan Al Turki family (terrorist sex criminal) in an attempt to clear up misconceptions about the U.S. criminal system and ease their minds on whether their boy had been treated fairly. An Arapahoe County jury convicted Al-Turki after he was accused of keeping a foreign woman as a sex slave in his basement. John Suthers went there, we now know, in spite of Bill Owens’ phone call to me claiming he sent Suthers on his own… that it was actually at the request of the U.S. Ambassador in Saudi Arabia who apparently had the State Department contact Governor Owens.
To the best of my knowledge, in spite of Suthers saying Abdullah wanted to pay for the trip, American taxpayers sponsored and paid for that trip through the United States State Department.
It’s been years since that occurred. But powerful emotions in Saudi Arabia remain. (See picture above from Saudi Arabia demanding Al Turki’s release — this continues to be an extremely hot button issue in the Saudi world.)
I found on March 26, 2009, Bush appointee Secretary of Homeland Security Michael Chertoff in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, urged Americans to review the topic. According to a public statement Skeletor said “The Saudi people sympathize with Homaidan Al Turki and they closely follow this case.” It appears again that everybody in the Republican Party seems to go in the tank with these people.
So as I was saying, in doing research the Saudi Ambassador at the time was Robert W. Jordan. What makes Ambassador Jordan interesting is he appears to be like the other operatives in this case. I believe he made the request to the State Department and on to Bill Owens. You would want to know who Jordan is.
In the words of Gomer Pyle, “Surprise, Surprise!” He’s a lawyer in the law firm of Jim Baker who was George H.W. Bush’s Chief of Staff. Baker brought in Jordan, and dig this: In the early 1990s Jordan represented George W. Bush in an investigation by the SEC into possible inside trading and Timmy Smothers’ sale of stock in Harken Energy. In 2001 Bush becomes president, and he sends Jordan to Saudi Arabia as the U.S. Ambassador.
Does anything shock you people anymore?
Now here comes the fun stuff. Guess who gets propped up to replace Comey-dog, the fired head of the FBI? That’s right. Headline in The Denver Post reads “Colorado’s John Suthers makes Donald Trump’s list of possible James Comey replacements.” According to The Denver Post (soon moving to Adams County) apparently Suthers was on a list of 11 names to replace Comey — damn.
What’s even more laughable is the support he has received. According to Channel 7 News and The Denver Post it was Sen. Cory Gardner who made the recommendation to the White House. Cory, Cory, Cory. What part of this don’t you understand? Whoops? Maybe you totally do.
But all I can tell you according to Colorado politics, Suthers also received endorsements from former governor Owens, and Hickenlooper and current AG Cynthia Coffman. Moreover, Phil Anschutz’s newspaper the Colorado Springs Gazette wrote an editorial titled “John Suthers would be a good choice for the FBI.” They lead it with “it’s simultaneously exciting and troubling to learn about Colorado Springs Mayor on Donald Trump’s short list to replace James Comey who was fired by the FBI.” What??
I don’t know about you guys but in our last column, Norm of Arabia Part One, we had over 5,000 views and nasty letters and even phone calls from people in the Democratic Party.
I’m a huge believer in the saying of Freddie Nietzsche, “You’re not known by your friends, you are known by your enemies. Tell me who doesn’t like you, I will tell you who you are.” Bring it on.

Saudi Arabian wealth has many surrogates in the state of Colorado. The powerful shadow and overreach of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia into the offices of power and influence in Colorado grows daily. Its tentacles reach into former Governor Bill Owens, Colorado Springs Mayor John Suthers, Governor John Hickenlooper, attorney Hal Haddon, attorney Jack Finlaw, former United States Attorney General for the District of Colorado Henry Solano and perhaps most shocking, super lawyer and lobbyist Norman Brownstein who is beginning to be called in some circles “Norm of Arabia.”
In several past columns, we attempted to chronicle the ties of the wealthy Saudi Arabian royal family and the Saudi government to Colorado.
But I believe it’s time to go to 25-thousand feet and really attempt to do an overview of how much influence the Saudi Arabians have in the Bush administration, the Obama administration, the Hickenlooper administration and perhaps as far back as Bill Owens’ tenure as governor of Colorado.
These wealthy Saudis, I believe, have had an enormous influence in politics, criminal justice, the media and both the Republican and Democratic parties.
If you remember what’s now known as “The 28 Pages” is really a “who dun it” of what happened on that terrible day of 9/11 and the involvement of the Saudi Arabians. That’s the view from 25-thousand feet.
When we come closer to the ground, we find the power of the Saudi Arabians so entrenched that they can have a sitting Attorney General of Colorado fly to Saudi Arabia on the behest of Republican Governor. That fact strikes fears in political circles in Colorado even in the Colorado media members.
It has become clear that Saudi Arabians were at the center of that terrible day of 9/11. George Bush and the dark lord Dick Cheney had those 28 pages in the Congressional Committee Report suppressed. Those were the 28 pages that spoke directly to Saudi Arabian planning and involvement in that terrible day.
We know of the meetings that George Bush had with Prince Bandar. We know Bush and Cheney created a false link between Iraq and 9/11. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld claimed, “My interest is to hit Saddam.” The phony Bush terrorism reports tried to link Saddam Hussein into Al Qaeda and 9/11
What great sadness. The real culprits have never been held accountable.
Here in Denver, as they say “the river runs through it.” Take the case of Homaidan al Turki, the man who was convicted of holding an Indonesian woman as a sex slave in the basement of his Highlands Ranch home.
He was convicted of 12 felony counts including false imprisonment, unlawful sexual contact theft and criminal extortion.
He was sentenced eventually to a minimum of eight years in prison but Governor Bill Owens feels obligated to sends his then Attorney General John Suthers (current Mayor of Colorado Springs) to Saudi Arabia to tell wealthy Saudi Arabians, including the King about our criminal justice system as it relates to Homaidan al Turki.
Since the last time I wrote about this I received a phone call from former Governor Owens who told me that on his own he decided to send Suthers to meet King Abdullah. Nice try.
I don’t buy it.
With all respect governor, why did your office not return requests from Congressman Tom Tancredo’s office about who paid for the trip, how many people went on the trip, the purpose of the trip and why you decided to send Suthers?
Suthers flew 19 hours and we’re not sure if you as the taxpayers paid for this. The Bush administration paid. And Suthers now claims King Abdullah offered to reimburse the tab. Suthers also called it the adventure of a lifetime.
As has been stated before. For God’s sake, you’re the attorney general of Colorado, not Saudi Arabia.
Does anyone else wonder how much money it takes to become Mayor of Colorado Springs?
But if it had ended there it would probably be no big deal. Just Republicans and Saudi Arabians. The Bushes and others doing what they do.
But the next chapter really gets dark.
Remember earlier we spoke about the 28 pages? Every high priced, fast-gunned lawyer that the Saudis could hire tried to make al Turki a young man studying for his doctorate in linguistics. But when we finally get a glimpse of the 28 pages guess who appears?? That’s right. Homaidan al Turki. You little dickens.
We now know he was in communication with the 9/11 conspirators in Germany. In the weeks and months before 9/11. Homaidan and his friend Anwar al-Awlaki (himself killed by a U.S. drone strike in Yemen in 2011) was at the time living here in Denver doing his incredible series titled “The Lives of the Prophets.” A series of Islamic history recordings made by Alwaki in the 1990s. Just a couple of funsters.
Al Turki appears and reappears some 14 times in the suppressed 28 pages. I’m sure al Turki thought about flying back to Saudi Arabia but he and other royal family members were being protected by George W. Bush. Why run?
I believe the Saudis thought they could buy al Turki out of Colorado. We’re led to believe that his ouster from the penal system was good to go, the work of fast John Hickenlooper’s attorney Jack Finlaw, criminal attorney Hal Haddon and various others all working to get the “innocent” little guy back to Saudi Arabia where he would simply walk away. It didn’t happen that way and I believe that set up the murder of Department of Corrections Chief Tom Clements and pizza delivery man Nathan Leon.
Most people have heard that story. But the Front Range media covered up the truth of it so many times that I really don’t know what the average person believes about those two murders.
We can, however, read in the Texas Rangers’ report that Jack Ebel, father of Clement’s murderer and 2/11 gang member Evan Ebel was indirectly involved with 211 prison gang because of his son. Jack Ebel is also a longtime friend of Governor John Hickenlooper. Evan Ebel I believe was simply carrying out the wishes of the wealthy Saudi families.
To add insult to injury the Saudis are now attempting to knock down JASTA, the legislation that will now allow 9/11 victims’ families and survivors to sue Saudi Arabia. Once again money changes hands in Colorado.
The Saudis hire Norm of Arabia’s prestigious law firm, Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck, who are now doing everything they can to help the Saudis to the tune of $100,000 a month.
Learn anything? I know I have. None of these people are to be trusted.
Thanks for reading this.
Watch the skies.

In reading about Donald Trump in the mainstream media, I do not believe there has been a concerted effort to destroy anyone since after the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, December 7, 1941.
From Target Tokyo to Target Donald Trump. The Left, the Democrats, the politically correct, the media, corporate sports, Hollywood and the music business have proven themselves to be parties of violence, chaos, destruction and hate. They have no ethics, honor, integrity, values, morals, compassion, and no respect for anyone who would hold an opposing view.
Democrat representative Maxine Waters called Trump’s Cabinet a “bunch of scumbags.” Madonna has “thought a lot about blowing up the White House.” Black Lives has screamed “to start killing people. “Tim Kaine, Hillary’s running mate, told the anti-Trumpers “to fight in the streets.” A woman stand-up comedian even called Donald Trump’s son Barron “a rapist and a homeschool shooter.”
The battle cry of the Résistance is make America ungovernable. A group that I talk about on the radio show titled “Refuse Facism” cried out “we need to do what the German people did when Hitler was elected.” — What a grasp of history — Hitler never won an election. That aside, there is the emergence of what is being called the “Deep State.” I personally believe the Deep State exists. Led by the Republican establishment (b/t/w, do you think anyone with the last name of Bush voted for Trump) and all of the above mentioned. Presidential politics and ethics seem to demand that when leaving office presidents leave Washington, D.C. Examples like Harry Truman goes back to Missouri, Jimmy Carter goes back to the peanut farm, Ronald Reagan to California, and even Tommy Smothers went back to his ranch in Waco, Texas.
But the man I believe who is the head of the Deep State literally moves across the street and his closest aide, Valerie Jarett, moved in with him and the Mrs. We once knew this as the “sportsman’s double.” The Obamas act as though they are the Romanoffs waiting to return. All you must do is read anything in The Denver Post, watch any local news outlet, or turn on any nonsense on CNN, or for that matter any national news outlet, and all you will get is what a horrible person Donald Trump is. So, to all the under 25s, who seem to still live with your parents, unemployed without getting a job, thinking they are badasses because they mastered a video game, all want to blame Donald Trump for what has happened to them.
Adding insult to historic injury, these buffoons have decided to call themselves the “Resistance.” That was the name given to the French Marquis, the Norwegian Underground, and the Ukrainian Partisans who fought the invading Nazis. What an insult to their bravery and their souls. These little twits risk nothing and claim the mantle of brave men and women who gave it their all.
No one in big media seems to want to shame them for seizing that title. I just did. Shame on you little creeps for daring to claim that brave name. You won’t see many Trump supporters in the streets wearing goofy hats and screaming filthy epitaphs at people who watch them. Trump supporters seem to be getting their kids and grandkids ready for swim team, soccer practice, music lessons, working hard at work, trying to pay all their bills and hoping that somehow the guy that is fixing their car isn’t going to tell them that they need a new fuel pump.
Ask yourself this question, if Hillary had won, do you think that that auto-mechanic, the man who comes to fix your cable system, the guy who is getting ready to do your tax return, your uncle the truck driver, or any other man or woman up and down the Front Range who bust their hump every day to keep the dream alive would be out marching in the streets on a warm, spring day screaming horrible things about Hillary Clinton? Or substitute anything said about Trump and apply it to Barack Obama. Those words would never be said and no idiots in masks would be smashing Starbucks’ windows.
History is repetitive. No one watches television news, nobody reads the papers, no one cares about some snowflake on a college campus, but what this does lead to is nothing more than a second term of Donald Trump. Deal with it.

All across America today, and no longer just contained on colleges and campuses, spread the new Brown Shirts, the politically correct.
Book burning began in Germany in April of 1933. The Brown Shirts of the “German Student Union” proclaimed a nationwide “action against the un-German spirit.” It was called a cleansing to rid Germany of ideas that did not follow the party line. They had to attack intellectualism and rid libraries and schools and people’s homes of what they dubbed “un-German books and ideas.”
And now jump ahead in time. Books are ideas. Books are people’s voices. Campus protesters, pussy-hatters, Black Lives Matter chapters, anarchists, anti-Trumpers, progressives, and Democrats have formed a coalition in this country to stop free thought, boycott stores, silence ideas and speakers and shout people down. Public school voices are silenced, people are shoved and shouted at and beaten simply for wearing the wrong t-shirt or baseball hat. The questions are how many times has this happened before and how did it all end.
On major universities today when you need police officers to escort people to a stage, you now know that free speech is under attack. People now have chosen to be silent for their fear of reprisal. These attacks are very real, not the “Reischstag Fire” like self -inflicted attacks of the politically correct — remember Tom Tancredo has offered a reward of $1,000 to anyone who can solve or arrest these “hate crimes” that readily appear in The Denver Post. Don’t you find it interesting that no one has ever been arrested for these alleged crimes?
The Nazis would stand outside of shops and stores that they would claim were owned by Jews or stores that would carry merchandise that the Nazis would claim was manufactured by Jews and tell good Germans not to go in. Now, look at the stores: Macy’s, Nordstrom’s, Home Shopping Network and Burlington Coat Factory will no longer carry merchandise associated with certain individuals or groups. Are you starting to see the repetitive pattern?
Students in Elizabethtown College, in a campaign launched by the Elizabethtown College Democrats, are urging people to wear white puzzle-piece-shaped pins to remind them of their white privilege. Once again we cross back in time, Jews wore yellow Star of David arm bands — and in some Muslim countries are required to this day wear a yellow strip of cloth, homosexuals wore pink triangles, and political prisoners wore a red bar over his or her star or triangle arm bands.
Jewish shops were marked with distinctive signs, Jews wore badges and I think you can see what we are beginning to witness, the repetitiveness of history.
This may be a naïve question, but exactly how did the Nazis know who was or who wasn’t Jewish when they began the roundups? Regardless of language and last names or jobs performed or even documentation, the real crime was always the blood.
One of the most amazing things that has happened recently is State Senator Joe Salazar, State Representative District 31, accusing fellow State Representative Dave Williams as a “half Latino” as a pejorative term. The equivalent of pointing and screaming “he is trying to pass as a German” but he is not one of us. Williams’ crime is he is the sponsor of the Colorado Politician Accountability Act. It will allow victims of illegal aliens to sue public officials on civil and criminal grounds for crimes committed in sanctuary cities and states. Representative Salazar, who himself very well may be sued for his political actions if this bill becomes a law, attacks a man for the age old “blood taint.”
As an aside, this really is no different than the Federal Law JASTA (Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act) that allows victims of 9/11 to sue the Saudi Arabians. But we have been over that before. So maybe the Brownstein law firm can receive funds to help shut down the Colorado Accountability Act.
A smart man once said history doesn’t just repeat itself, it rhymes. The politics of the politically correct are alive today in North Korea, Cuba, ISIS, Venezuela and Saudi Arabia. These people, like the politically correct in our country, would stop your First Amendment right to speak, read and listen to ideas, ideology and philosophy that they deem not politically correct. Remember, words mean what they say words mean, not what you think words mean. Be aware — be very aware.

As a little guy growing up with black and white television in Pittsburgh, I always thought the greatest thing on TV was professional wrestling. Today, as an old guy, I believe the greatest thing on TV is still professional wrestling.
I know all the news that I get — like Archie Bunker — comes from the National Enquirer, and the only real sport left is professional wrestling.
As a highlight of my life, as a young boy, disc jockey and a professional wrestling fan, I reached out to then local professional wrestling promoter the late Gene Reed, to see if I could get any professional wrestlers to appear on my show when they were in town.
I was the mid-day guy at the now defunct KAAT radio and hosted a mid-day show from the Yum-Yum Tree, a big barn like affair with restaurants inside, and lo and behold I got to interview the man I later found out owned the whole wrestling company, the late, great Verne Gagne. At that point, I could have died happy. You see, I was then officially called a “mark.” Wait, but what is a mark you ask? A mark is a person who believes professional wrestling matches are real. Some historians believe that the term dates back to a carnival term, when carnies would put chalk marks on a guy’s back so he was marked. And others would call a mark, a sucker. Other people believe it’s called hitting the mark which is a scam aimed at a sucker. And when it works, they hit the mark.
It’s the term that pro wrestlers and promoters use for people who buy tickets. Remember, these people are not considered fans or followers, they are simply marks. The wrestlers are only concerned with being paid, smirk at the marks, and when I finally got to do my first job as a ring announcer at Denver’s old Auditorium Arena, a couple of the guys and Verne “smartened me up.” Now I was on the inside and no longer a mark.
What strikes me now is how many people are marking for Barak Obama, George W. Bush, John Hickenlooper, Michael Hancock, The Denver Post, local news stations, and any politician that they think cares about them or their families.
Pro wrestling has two principal terms, one is called a “work” and the other is called a “shoot.” A shoot is real and everything else is a work. I am beginning to believe that Donald Trump became our president in a shoot and everything else is a work. Hancock’s and Hickenlooper’s Road Home is a work, George Bush’s war in Iraq was the biggest work of all time. Barak Obama’s life story is a total work. Are you starting to see the idea?
Sometimes the “boys” (what wrestlers call each other) use the term “smarks,” which is even more derogatory because they can point at you and call you that and you have no idea they are marking you. Another great pro wrestling term is called “selling.” Selling is to act as though you have been on the receiving end of a real fighting maneuver. The Denver Post leads the league. They have been selling for all of the above for so long they have no idea where real ends and work begins. Another term is called a “squash,” a huge mismatch where some heel (bad guy) takes some little face (good guy) and beats him up on TV. Everybody is selling, everybody is marking and no one is shooting. Now you understand the Train to the Plane. Another great term from the business, is called “switch the heat” or “pass the blame.”
And last, but not least, you have “workers” and a term called “work rate.” Those are both positive terms. It’s the pace of a match and the skill level of the wrestler. Ask yourself for real, how many real workers are in Front Range media and politics? I leave you with one more term that I was told about, it was the greatest definition for a wrestling match I had ever heard. It’s called a “Broadway.” It’s one hour long, everybody works very hard and it ends up a draw and they are rare and far between. We haven’t seen a full Broadway in this city for a long ass time. Andre the Giant was not 7’4”. But what the hell. Michael Hancock never bought a hooker. Ring the bell.
